TBH - when you take a step back and look at all the prototype pictures if the Nova, its surprising how much hardware can be crammed into such a small form factor.
Credit for NCase for starting the community driven uber small case trend. But in all honesty mATX is the sweet spot for size/expandability , and I am grateful that Aibohphobia & PlayfulPhoenix have decided to build an mATX case based on the M1 ethos.
I'm excitedly awaiting this case, so I can build my first Hackintosh in it.

I wonder if we could get @LinusTech to review this....

Can't tell in the pics but the powder coat I picked for the handle has a textured finish to make it grippier.
The bare handle does look cool though:
Edit:
Almost forgot, I finally got the SX500-LG and it fits, even with the front 120mm fan

We're hoping to price Nova at around $250, which would sit between the NCASE M1 and the Compact Splash (both ITX cases). But we can't say for certain until we have firm quotes from metal and electronics fabricators.

Quick update, all: I've just finished a post on the KI blog, summarizing some of the thermal testing and analysis Aiboh and I have been working on for the past month or so. I invite you all to navigate to the site and read up!
In addition, and perhaps more importantly, we've opened up our entire testing & analysis workbook to the public, and will continue to work inside that living document, so that any updates or new data are instantly shared and viewable for everyone. You can drop in on that document anytime by navigating here. Currently, we're looking at possible design changes to Nova that leverage the new information we've been learning throughout this process. I'm very excited to see where that takes us, so stay tuned for future updates to that end -

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Yeah, the handle is really only useful for someone who carries the case around every day. I transport Nova pretty often from home to work so I find it handy
But a long trip, like an cross country road trip or an airline flight would probably benefit more from a bag like the really nice custom M1 carry bag:
Here's a potato pic of when I first unboxed the case

Preliminary analysis of the thermal testing has been done and it appears the top fan is actually not that helpful, it only makes a few degrees difference in CPU and PSU exhaust temp at most. There are possibly a few configurations where it would make sense but I think those are edge cases.
So if we eliminate it we could shave a bit of space off the top of the case and redistribute it at the bottom and to the width for better 3.5" HDD and 240mm radiator clearance without increasing the overall volume.
Which brings me to my question, how important is the carry handle to you all?
Vote here
I personally love it but machining something like that is relatively expensive. Before it made sense since the mounting bracket doubled as a fan mount but with the top fan gone it is harder to justify.
Doing away with it entirely would reduce the cost of the case and simplify logistics since there would only need to be one top panel design instead of two (one panel with the mounting holes and one without).

Quick update: Aiboh has completed most of the testing we set out to have done, and we're consequently beginning to look at the results and conduct some analysis! As a total statistics and data nerd, I'm more than a little excited about this
Here's a taste of the information we're working with (in this case, a screenshot of a comparison I'm doing across configs that do/don't have a top fan): As we learn from all of this data, we'll share updates with you guys, and get your input. I'll also be writing an in-depth piece on our blog, with regards to how we're leveraging this testing to improve Nova's design. -

What do you guys think of different colors for the frame?

Nothing really worth patenting, the layout isn't that special and patents are expensive and time-consuming to get. I'm not too worried, it's too niche for the big case manufacturers to bother with.
Here's a pic of the setup I'm using for the thermal test, excuse the mess
