Identification notes
What is known
Human-confirmed from L'Archive Contact Sheet 2 final transition and Contact Sheet 3 first image. The operator's August 15, 2026 accession identifies this retained white perforated assembly as the 360 mm front Flex-Bay hardware for the CaseLabs Mercury S8. The new photograph shows a long perforated face, white powder-coated side flanges, repeated fastener holes along the edges, and one attached or adjacent black lead. The frame does not show a radiator, fans, loose fasteners, rear mounting geometry, CaseLabs label, or an installed chassis relationship. The preserved Mercury S8 reference manual identifies a nine-position 5.25-inch Flex-Bay column in the left/front chassis section and a 360 mm maximum radiator size, which is consistent with the operator identification but does not establish the original retail accessory name. Treat "front 360 mm Flex-Bay radiator mount / vent" as the controlled provisional name until rear views, measurements, hardware count, and direct fitment in the S8 are documented. Do not merge it with FI-CL-PART-004, the separate dual-120 chassis front plate.
