Hey Prava! Are you referring to the new v3 PSU bracket? Necere made some changes that would help to allow better fitment with the new SFX-L PSU. The new bracket raises the PSU up a few mm to give a little more room for cables on the bottom (that will hit the back of most GPU cards) and material of the front-top of the bracket was removed to allow room for the internal power cable (the SFX-L power socket has a different orientation (LINK)).
Same here.. mini PC, mini keyboard, 34" monitor
Hi all!
I have completed my NCASE M1 V2 build some weeks ago:
Specs and build log:

Cheers.
Nice write-up ! Thanks for taking your time. Can you link to the PCIe riser you used and perhaps illustrate how you've bent it ? Have you also tested the performance and if it is still linking at PCIe 3.0 x16 ?
if i dont use a c1, would it be possible to fit a graphics card+backplate and a sfx-l psu by modding the cable connectors a little?
Fantastic pictures and info, Tschus! For those of you who are planning a build with the M1, C1 and M7I (or M6I), the low profile 20 pin USB header adapter cable available at moddiy will allow you to plug your front USB in. The C1 (at least how I have mine oriented, hanging over the memory) interferes with the header connector and the fins cut into the cable because it is too snug of a fit. I will take some pictures on Monday when my replacement psu arrives.
wanted to join but Im still waiting my ncase to arrive. T_T
Well i have my M1, and my 780 DCII doesn't fit, the PSU sata cables are backwards and i need a bigger desk. Many changes this year.
Can you show pics (and update the Google docs spreadsheet) (and possibly post in the build thread)?
Might help someone who is in a similar situation and save them some grief?
Would 7cm be sufficient, or would I need to go for 11 cm do you think?
I was considering buying the following flex extender, as they at least claim Gen3 compatibility.

Would have preferred something with EMI shielding, but if it works, I won't complain.
Both work but the 980 with reference blower is ideal.Woot! Woot! I just received an email stating my case should be shipped Jan, 21. I'm juiced right now because everything for this build is just sitting in my desk waiting. I have been thinking about the airflow of the case and wether or not I should sell my 780ti with the ACX cooler and buy a 980 with the Nvidia blower style cooler. I am kinda limited on time, looking through 700+pages on this thread will be hard to determine M1 users opinions. What do you guys think? ACX cooler or buy a new 980 with the blower style reference cooler?

Finally got my V3 bracket that I ordered Dec 13th. However, I was very disappointed to see that I had to pay $38 customs fee, when I only paid $18 for the bracket and shipping.
Shouldn't customs fee be based on the value of the product? Anything I can do about this? Usually the seller writes the value of the product on the package that is shipped. As far as I understood, this was shipped directly from Lian Li in Taiwan, with Taiwan Postal Service.

That doesn't sound right.
You can use your PayPal invoice if the invoice on the box is insufficient.
If you have issues, just email me.
Disclaimer: I'm stuck in South America since I misplaced some travel documents, my internet is sporadic, but I should get back you within 3 days if you email me.
I contacted the office that sent me the package, and they said the seller (Lian Li?) had stated the value as 120 CAD, which in turn caused the high import fee. CAD seems to be Canadian Dollar... Not sure why CAD is used, and not sure why 120 was used... (I am located in Sweden)
Has anyone ever tried to put a small rectangular window on the gpu area? seems like a cool way to see your gtx graphics card.. Anyone know who can do the job with quality and finesse? Or maybe ncase can add that as an optional side panel?
Whenever someone says "window" in regards to this case, only one comes to mind... and this is not mine, but I do remember seeing this on OCN:

just some info
In my build I'm using a seasonic x series 650w PSU, which is 150mm long.
I decided my 750ti was too loud at idle and bought an Alpenföhn Peter 2 to shut it up.
it fits on the card and in the case.
it fits under the psu fine, and theres room for a slim fan between it and the gpu/ psu, and maybe some 20mm fans between it and the case floor.
However, since the cpu socket on my Gigabyte H77N-wifi is so close to the PCI slot im changing to a P8Z77-I Deluxe so my Noctua U9B-SE2 doesnt interfere with the mounting nuts on the gpu cooler.
edit, a picture
Oh i have seen that already, but in order for you to have that kind of window you must not use the radiator/hdd bracket on the side of the case, I was thinking about just a small rectangular window so that the "geforce" logo on the card can be seen. But with regards to quality and finesse that seems to be a nice window job.
That's a clever combination of parts. Would that cooler fit on a GTX 970? I think the bare PCB for some of the cards is shorter than the retail cooler, so the longer ATX PS would still fit. Would slim fans on that cooler be enough to cool a 970?
I've never looked at how that Alpenfohn cooler would fit in the case, but it seems to do so perfectly. Looks like a good option for those wanting to use an ATX PSU while still having a large GPU cooler. Very nice.just some info
