About the offset of the fan mounting plates you mentioned you'd like to see: It would be impossible I guess because then people would moan about their lovely little spinny thing not being centered in their huge playmobile doll house with the honeybee logo grill up top. It would look off and i think in the case of the top panel it wouldn't even fit
The new award makes a lot of sense for products of this nature and it looks gloriously coordinated in the new studio. Seeing 60 fps in recorded footage takes some getting used to but it does make everything feel very fresh and crisp.
I think seeing the fans centered under the grill justifies the lack of offset, there is a huge amount of 25-40mm radiators and that covers nearly all of the premium offerings you would expect to be paired with a case like this. Still the more available options the better I guess, on that subject I thought permanently attached feet were an extra too?

I like this case IMHO this case is better than the Parvum Systems Cases but the sad thing is that i can't see any PC shops getting them cause of the flat pack people here don't want to put cases together cause the Parvum Systems Cases was a major flop here.

Looks pretty. Alas I am at work and Youtube is blocked so no videos until home time.
KOOS - I don't know what the sales are like but I'd agree Parvum didn't seem to do a whole lot of advertising/exposure here, although the real reasons that they don't seem as popular may be because they only had mATX (+ itx?) cases which are a less common form factor.
They're becoming increasingly attractive though as more and better featured boards come out and with the likes of this, the Parvums and the Phanteks Evolv I can see better results coming in the future.

PCCG told me they were a complete flop so i can't see them getting anymore custom cases ever again this would include this case as well plus as far as i know the're they only shop carrying the Parvum line anyway also i just don't think that the whole "Custom" case thing here is popular enough for shops to carry them.
First off, thank you for the positivity about the new office and the 60FPS, I know Im no trend setter on this but I am trying hard within my limited abilities to increase the quality. Red needs a bit of work in the videos but sound and light need some serious attention for sure but sadly the best way for me to do it is by making videos and seeing what works and budget isnt endless so it takes time.
Fans centered in the top 100% yes. but that 360 in the bottom could be offset without any OCD creeping in. I totally get its designed to be swapped around and thats why it sits in the middle, it was just a passing comment that "an option would be nice" and after Hans watched it he agreed an upgrade panel wouldnt be a bad idea.
Feet wise if they are I didnt know about them, I only got the acrylic ones I cant find. they were in the old office so probably hiding in one of the drawers :/

Now I've watched it I agree I can't wait to see the ATX version. White with blue would be pretty sweet.
The 60Hz looks really good too! Is the camera wobble from the floor or the tripod? Not criticising I just noticed it seems to be when you're moving around. New offices are looking really good.

Not after only just finishing the last lot!
