I appreciate the bespoke nature of the build to order.  The glaring item for me is that the vertical bracket only supports a 2 slot or smaller card.  With new GPU's coming out in the near future with 3 and possibly 4 slot requirements the vertical bracket is the "Achilles heel" for this case.  Bit of a glaring engineering oversight for the price.


 
And the same 4-slot card LC'ed mentioned above is 2 slot. And the E1 is designed with LC'ing in mind

If anyone is curious about the unboxing of this thing.  For those curious as well, it looks like a push pull config on the top radiator mount is out but the side radiator appears to be possible.

After giving up on the cable disaster at the back I've ordered some CableMod cables that I hope are the right length.  I'll confirm what's needed when I see how close I was, just in case anyone else goes that route.

The top radiator mount has 3.1 inches of clearance due to the angle of the upper suspension cables while the front mounted radiator has 3.5 inches of clearance. I need to sell one of the 48mm radiators I bought since it won’t fit in the top mount :(

I sent my case to Singularity Computers where they’re designing a Powerboard for the E1 that will be made available for sale in a few weeks.

Wow, that's a next level approach when it comes to power.  I'll be interested in seeing what that looks like, should have waited myself and gone that route.  Sorry to hear about the radiator, it's a shame that the one side on the top mount is just a bit too short.  Glad I held off ordering the extra fans until I had a chance to test it.

@seanronimo What do you mean by “powerboard”?

It’s a pcb that routs power, with the end result allowing for cleaner cable routing because you can opt for short cables

So, most of the hardware is much much cheaper today than at launch, any chance of seeing some discount on these?

I doubt it. Inflation is going up and carbon fiber isn’t cheap. The E1 is in a different situation than GPUs in the middle of an oversupply of cards.

Basically zero. The price drops are related to supply and demand and the E1 is hand made and built to order. So they're expensive to make, and they don't have any sitting in a wearhouse. What's more likely is that eventually, likely without warning, they'll stop selling them. It's a limited supply product intended to be rare.

For those of you that purchased these: Have they come in yet? got any pictures?
