Hi - I thought I'd give this a try, since the S3 shipping thread is a bit overburdened. Here, the links can be in the first post.

Yes, I'm a CL ST10 owner, No I'm not an S3 owner, but let me get started, and see what you think about this thread.

Here are the Preliminary Specs for the S5.

Preliminary Specs (subject to change):

Size: 14.94"H x 12.13"W x 18.03"D (380mm x 308mm x 458mm)*
Form Factor: mATX
Expansion Slots: 5
Flex-Bays (5.25" bays): 7
Native Drive Support (without using 5.25" bays):
2 HDD (3.50")
4 SSD (2.50")

Maximum Radiator: 120.3 (360)/140.2 (280)
Cooling Tower Clearance: 190mm
PSU Mounts: 1

Pedestal Option with dual 280/360 support

* Rubber feet add .81" (20mm) to the height

The S5 is essentially the S3 with 2 additional PCI slots (1.6" added to the width) and 3" (the difference in board size) in the length. The height is the same. Making either dimension smaller would have reduced the feature set, making it incompatible with the S3 which was not an option (for this case). After Gemini, we'll revisit the ITX form factor.

The idea was to build an ITX case that was as bullet proof and as flexible as possible so you would only be limited by your imagination Once people see it firsthand, I think they'll agree it's built like a tank compared to other ITX cases. From there it made sense to extend the concept to mATX (S5). There will not be an ATX version though. That will have to be the domain of Gemini.The S5 will be the last of the "old" process.

What do you have covering the 3.5" bay in the second photo and where did you get it?? I have seen them on a couple of other builds and never asked.
