    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    That was the same as mine, but it will still grind against the nickel finish. I threw on some electrical tape onto the VRM heatsink where it touches as padding just to be sure.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Pretty sure I saw it in this thread, but I didn't save it so I'm not 100% sure. Saw an NCASE where the guy had plugged up all the unused motherboard I/O slots with dust caps, the hard plastic kind you get with GPUs that have the pull tabs. Anyone know where to get a set of those?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Why not just use a 140mm fan as an intake? That 140mm noctua fan + a 120mm should do it. Can't imagine the C14s beats the C14 in that way.

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Loving the look of this, and sandblasted panels too, which the NCASE couldn't end up doing! I really dislike how easily dirtied looking brushed aluminium gets so this is awesome. Agree with comments elsewhere - reverse the PSU if that's how we're doing this. I don't want the fan spinning up for...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    Ultimately, while you probably feel I'm being a very harsh critic, it is only because this case is so damn close to perfect, like 99%, that the remaining 1% is glaringly obvious. With most other cases there's a tonne of niggles and faults everywhere that you just don't care as long as it looks...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    Fair enough. I did see your ATX project but didn't comment on it since ATX no longer interests me - too big. No interest in water-cooling either so the case does nothing for me like the M1 did. It might be handy if I was building an x299 or TR system, but with Coffee Lake I don't need to worry...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    I believe steel is required if you really want this case to be 'end game'. It's no good if you strip it even once, and there's a lot of chances to do that over many years. I believe around 8000 cases have shipped, but not everyone will report on their experiences. The biggest change Necere could...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    So, coming back to this. Other than having to redo the dimensions to account for 0.8mm steel over 1.5mm aluminium, what else would you need to change? I spoke to an engineer I know about all this and he said it isn't true that you couldn't countersink a screw with a thinner material - you most...

    Is the project as dead as our dreams or are you looking for a new company?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Hey guys, Anyone got links to good replacements screws? Need to build soon and I'd rather not use the ones that come with it as I've heard too many dubious things about the quality. Wouldn't want any accidents.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    That is because AIB cards intake air and blow it onto the heatsink. You were basically creating an air vacuum of sorts by having fans exhaust when the fans of the GPU are trying to pull air in to cool the card. Ref/AIB = Intake Accelero = Exhaust.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    You should still flip the fans and have them as exhaust, the consensus is the temps are best that way. You shouldn't be getting temps in the 70s at all.

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    My complaint about the frame robustness mainly comes from the fact that mine arrived wobbly - when I emailed I was shown a video on bending it 'back into place'. That was pretty alarming, and I tried it after getting some free time just a couple of days ago - can't get it straight. The fact you...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    Hi, Nice to see a quick response. I don't think it would have been a minor revision, no. Steel would have to be for an M2 or something, as it would be an absurd ask to make the v6 have such a dramatic change. It is just that the stripping is always going to be a huge future concern...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    Why limited edition? You mean as a bundle and not just the panels separate? Also, here are some critical suggestions I have for the NCASE: 1.) The aluminium frame was a mistake, IMO. It is too flexible compared to a rigid steel one and because it is so soft and thin I have serious concerns...
