Object ID
FI-CL-PART-003
Summary
This object appears to be the normal ventilated top panel for the main CaseLabs chassis body. Ventilation on both sides is consistent with placement over drop-in radiator mounts, making the panel relevant to enclosure completion and top-mounted cooling in the S8 build. Exact Mercury S8 / SMA terminology needs verification.
