Personally, I would like to see at least an option for plexiglass on the perimeter. I feel like some might want a bit of protection from things like sneezes, or rogue squirt-gun blasts. The “case” is basically a plate with a clear acrylic pane in front of it. It can stand upright, be rotated horizontally, or even screwed into a wall if you want to show off a custom liquid coolant loops or something.
Interestingly, Thermaltake is providing “3D Printing Accessory Files”. I somehow doubt that this will be the CAD files required to lasercut your own Core P5 case, but it's designed to allow makers to create their own accessories for it. As such, this sounds more like guides and schematics, but I cannot say for sure because I haven't tried it… and they're not available yet.
The Thermaltake Core P5 will be available soon for an MSRP of $169.99, although it's already at a sale price of $149.99. This could be just a pre-order discount, or a sign of its typical price point. We don't know.
this looks amazing, will be

Which case? I’ve been perusing Lian-Li and found nothing quite like this one.

Where the hell are these
Where the hell are these magic dust free places people apparently live that a build like that would be even remotely possible?!
I agree! I live in Wisconsin
I agree! I live in Wisconsin and the dust up here is terrible! I still want one of these cases though!
I have an Antec Skeleton ATX
I have an Antec Skeleton ATX with the top fan and front IO shroud removed. L-bracket mounted a 240mm radiator with filtered SP120PWMs exhausting over the rest of the system. Used the stock 230mm overhead fan unfiltered for a long time prior to this arrangement. In both setups I’ve had to clean it for dust not even once every 6 months while other fully enclosed cases need cleaned every three and are far dustier. The simple fact is there’s a strong misconception that open-air chassis are dust prone. This is not true; flat out. Experience it before parroting misinformation.

I want two of these !

Will look killer on the walls
Will look killer on the walls of a man cave but will need a weekly dusting off. Its not for me for the above reason and also for the cost of the enthusiast-grade components that can do this case justice.
I made something similar in
I made something similar in tinkerCAD over 4 months ago. Well, similar in how the rear IO has that 90 degree off-set. Anyone interested should check it out here: https://tinkercad.com/things/8AqqZTzWd0r
And for any naysayers I do have ample proof not only did I make this design over 4 months ago… I’ve been trying to contact various case manufacturers to find out if any wanted the design. Thermaltake being one of them.
