Good Luck is all I can say. Routing and mounting 2 AIO's didn't really jive for me. I ended up going with a custom loop with 2 Radiators and still had trouble routing and fitting everything in the case.

I really wish there was a smaller formfactor similar to the FT02-B. I actually really like the design of it as a whole. Really a pleasure to work with overall. Also a pretty genius way of dealing with GPU Sag and airflow.

The Corsair cables don't really bend well, but if you worked with PATA/IDE cables from way back when, i was able to fold them in a similar way to those fairly well to bunch them in the case. I also ran a bunch of the cables flat between my video card and radiator. It takes up a small section of...

The M1 is a case that has a very rewarding end result. However, it's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness...it's extremely customizable. There are a lot of bits and bobs that can be moved around or customized to work for you, but at the same time you need to be diligent on...

I would steer clear not because of drive quality but because of NewEgg's shipping quality pertaining to these drives. I've more or less stopped ordering HDD's from them due to an abnormally high failure rate I've had. Out of about 30 drives I've purchased over the last 3 or 4 years. 12 have...

I travel a bunch for events. Dell XPS 13 (2015 version) + Note 5. I keep it light, but the laptop can do everything I need in terms of Adobe Premiere (usable), Photoshop (fine), Lightroom (fine). And even some light gaming (and I mean light).

It really varies based on what you want in the case. If you go with water cooling you're going to dramatically reduce your options. If you're going to use certain coolers or a Full Size ATX PSU (vs SFX) you're going to also lose a few options. Same situation with a full length full cooler...

Honestly it's a fantastic case...the Apex Predator of Cases if you will. I ended up going to the NCASE specifically because I wanted a new form factor and to consolidate on space...also a challenge build. Everything about the FT02 is easy.

If you wanted to see my build: Either way I've been pretty happy with the Corsair Carbide and that line of cases, very easy to work with and good price point. It should let you bring the size down from the FT but not really compromise on anything other than a few storage bays.

My FT02 is sitting on the sidelines, just built a NCASE machine recently. 25% the size, with more power, more cooling, and less loise. That being said...I love my FT02 as well.

If you mod your powersupply to use the slim/stub PCI-E power connectors at a right angle you should be able to make it work. But yea 7mm is a really tight fit.

Why is this such a big deal? If it's out of spec by a non-trivial margin when running stock. Ok, that's a problem they need to deal with. AMD has straight up said that they are looking into it...It's been a day...so let them look into it. Why does overclocking even come into this conversation...

I actually have the U2711h as well as the Acer XB270HU (gsync). Honestly, the Acer is a great monitor if you do well in the panel lottery. Mine was flawless right out of the box, but I do know a lot of folks have complained about QC issues so look into that. In terms of uses, my U2711 is...

Both of you make fair points, but using my very scientific test of putting my hand on my case, that particular side panel takes the most heat. The 240mm radiator is up against it, and it's the primary air exhaust for it. It gets fairly warm. With a window panel there, that air would be...

Would 100% Buy a top or side window panel with zero reservations. Though I understand why they didn't make one. a Solid window panel would impact the ventilation of the case quite a bit.
