Like the Silverstone Sugo SG10. I'm afraid that there isn't much else you can really do with the form factor. The way I see it there are only two viable options: An ultra-compact case that will inevitably share many traits either with the Sugo SG10 or the Lian Li PC-Q10, or a very stylish and...

I wouldn't buy an M.2-SSD. Or at least only get the the smallest SM951 as suggested by XelNika. M.2-SSDs are a lot faster than SATA-SSDs, but as average user you won't notice the speed increase - unless you are constantly moving huge chunks of data, which in a case like the M1 without active...

What about a PSU-bracket that allows you to change the position of the PSU? In an mATX-setup I would move the PSU as close as possible to the right panel (while ATX-users would want to do the opposite). That would allow me to mount one, maybe two 2.5''-HDDs between the PSU and the left panel...

You can probably guess where I want to go with this: Move the mainboard as closely to the side panel as possible to increase compatibility with tall coolers. I take from your comments though that you have that already covered in your considerations. I was asking that to get an idea of how much...

A very convincing argument. Not to mention that 3.5'' HDDs have to go into the case as well. Out of curiosity, what is the typical distance between the mainboard and the mainboard tray? And are you considering in your arguments that there might be no room for cable mangagememt behind the...

And for a handful of people who use more than one M.2-drive or who need 8 RAM-slots Necere should design another "mishmash" case, that ATX-user can't even properly utilize to its full potential and that gives mATX-user another mATX-case that comes with many compromises? Since ATX- and...

Yeah, but the case would have to be very wide for that, which would push the design deep into the "Why not just get a Enthoo Evolve for half the price?"-area again. And three-way SLI would be no option anyway (unless you build a massive water-cooling loop maybe), so what would you actually gain...

Not sure if I follow you here. Let's assume a width of 170mm. Even with a 280mm radiator you would still have ~25mm for the "double wall". As for the holes and grommets: You could do what NZXT did with the S440 and just have a side access to the "double wall" where you could put the cables...

Well, first of all thank you for doing that. After thinking about it all day (and now that I'm seeing it in a mockup) I finlly agree that the PSU chamber needs to go. Without it you could add a 140mm fan and radiator underneath the PSU depending on to length of the PSU and the position of the...

The top panel and the extra space at the bottom were just suggestions. Without the extra space in the bottom and a plain floor (maybe with an optional mount for a HDD) you would end up with a height of ~330mm. Which I think could look quite odd with a design that has a front panel and reaches a...

Talking about the 2c layout I agree with you of course. However, you know how people are. They want to mount the best and biggest components, no matter if they need them or not. I think you should give them either support for full-size tower coolers or 244mm AiO-coolers. And I think it would be...

I'm not a fan of inverted layouts. They simply look wrong to me with everything upside down. I like how the vents are integrated in the side panel though. Not with that design. There is no room for tall tower-style CPU-coolers and AiO-watercoolers are difficult if not impossible to use. I...

But what is the selling point then if people could get a similar case from manufacturers like Silverstone for probably less than what an mATX Ncase would cost? A clean front panel without any functionality? Is that the reason why people should pay 200+ Dollars for a fairly common internal layout...

Same here. I imagine the vents to be a separate component that you can just rotate around the y-axis. Voilà! All you need now is a clever mounting system that doesn't care about the orientation of the side vents. As for Lian-Li and powder coating: Do we have other manufacturers to chose from...

That's why I don't like having the radiator in the front because usually I don't use abnormally large graphics card. It's an exception that I'm currently planning with an R9 Fury Strix (because of performance, power consumption, noise, cooling aaaand ... FreeSync). Anyway, I agree that a...
