Well, the next question is what is the limit on the fan controller? I have a scythe kaze master pro atm supporting at most 2 fans on each channel.  Does the EVGA controller give enough voltage for this type of daisy chained full fan speed/power? Max fan amp per channel i guess it what im asking.  
Im supporting 10 fans at full speed w/ the controller atm.

I'd like more details on the Fan Controller too.  I have plenty of PWM Noctua 140MM PWM Fans. They don't need much voltage, but I'd like to use their PWM feature.
A blueprint style graphic would be good too, it's hard to see how the Hard Drives and SSDs fit into the system.

I agree with the above comments. We need more info on the cases before ordering. I prefer to water cool my components and will be getting a GTX 1080 Ti (if not two) when it comes out. I'd like to know the space limitations for rads and such in these cases. We need more pics of the units all the way around please!

All valid questions and according to EVGA_JacobF, most questions will be answered when the preorder goes live.
I know i want answers regarding the lighting in the case and fan led colors.
As well as fan controller.

Im definitely looking to replace my air 540 with the dg87 if the fan controller works out.
 
I dont even remember when I last used the Optical Drive anyway...the other 5.25 slot is for my scythe controller.

Already have a potential buyer for my 750D, but sadly this case isn't shipping until August.

sounds nice and roomy
but
still using usb 2.0 with only 2@ 3.0. & 1 @ 3.1
 
gonna end up having to buy a addon 3.0 controller for more ports
 
$200+, to the door.... not me.

There are quite a few USB 2.0 devices that do not run correctly in 3.0 or higher ports. Some don't work at all after a reboot until you unplug and plug them in again (this is mostly in windows 10). So in a way USB 2.0 is required.
 
I do agree though that they could have more 3.0 and 3.1 ports.

Yes, more 3.0's would be nice.
Still, what it has, the space to do whatever, and $50 off at preorder..It does not matter which one you choose, they are all good.   
I mean, i was going to get the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass, That is $10 more on Newegg than the DG-87 at preorder discount.
That Phanteks case is a stunner though.. still want it, but want this EVGA case a little more.
