    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    Some things are just too good to give up on...:)

    Superb post, quoted for truth. PlayfulPhoenix gets it.

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    "A bit classier look"? They look completely different. It's like saying a Toyota looks like a Lamborghini because they're both cars. People pay silly money for premium products. $200 for a high-end pc case is nothing, especially when the components going in to it cost many times more. Lots of...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    I'm sure that there are enough people out there who want something higher-end and more sophisticated than your average slim ITX case, which is what the RVZ02 appears to be (fugly aesthetic and Steambox/LRPC-esque internal design notwithstanding.)

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    Well, yeah, size seems like it wouldn't be an issue in accommodating an ODD. For me though there are real concerns in accommodating an ODD - a) A slot on the front would look shit. Really shit. Although a 'no-ODD' panel option would solve that. Which brings me neatly to... b) It's more work...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    3M tape to attach the feet? Comparisons to automobile parts? Drilling and tapping your own screw holes? There are many, many good reasons why none of these things have been discussed until now or are hardly ever discussed outside of modding boards and indeed why they aren't a feature of any...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    I prefer the rounded pedestal by far. Far classier. And also 2 USB ports on the front for ease of access and all that. Basically I really really really really like the design as it is in the first post (though perhaps with the USB ports rotated by 90 degrees as I may have mentioned once or...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    I feel like an idiot. There I was thinking that Necere had just run out of energy and/or free-time or had hit a wall with the design. Although I was under the impression that costs weren't an insurmountable issue. Oh well. I really do hope that you guys can pick it up again sometime and find a...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    "On the back burner" :( "for now":) I've found that any project or creative undertaking almost always ends-up being better for it by being put aside when it becomes too strenuous only to be revisited later with a fresh eye. And these things should be enjoyable. I see what you're saying and we...

    It has already been discussed and isn't an intended feature of this case.

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    I really do hope so. I think that the LRPC is almost perfect as it is and it seems like most others on here do as well. For me NCASE is all about - No compromise on quality, thoughtful design with No square inch wasted and doing what No-one else is doing. Just like the M1 the LRPC epitomises...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    Well, just to chime in with my perspective. The idea of the M1 selling due to being "being one of a kind" functionally? Well yeah, one of a kind mainly from the point of view of water-cooling, but out of all the M1's sold how many people are actually using water-cooling? I'd argue that it's main...

    The next NCASE project: a Steam Machine-style case (indeterminate)

    This. When the case is horizontal, or indeed as you point out Urelure 'upside down', and you have either slow running fans or semi-fanless/fanless PSU or CPU cooling then dust/dirt could again get in. It'd be nice to have peace of mind that the case could be used indefinitely with future...
