    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    I think this design could be extremely appealing to watercooling enthusiasts and myself if it were extended a bit to fit a second 240 mm rad in the front, and in the bottom either a longer (semi-passive) ATX PSU, or a shorter ATX PSU with one or two 3.5" HDDs or a bay pump+res combo in front of...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    I would like the lowest noise levels possible and the highest quality possible, regardless of cost, so for me the change would be worth it. Furthermore, I would expect that the marketing advantage of being able to advertise all Japanese capacitors would allow increasing the price without hurting...

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

    The Strix GTX 980 is only 5.27" tall, although it appears to have the same PCB dimensions as the Strix GTX 970. The cables that come with the SX600-G and the 500W SFX-L look to me like they should be flexible enough to make it fit. Ncases.com says 4.7" at the power connection and while...

    Very impressive. You should be proud!

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

    1. Not every build would be suitable for transparent case panels, but it's a matter of taste and you could keep the appearance in mind when choosing components for the build. In my opinion, Necere's ATX build posted above would be best off hidden by opaque panels (but translucent ones would be...

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

    Is there interest in transparent/translucent case panels for the M1? I think M1 builds can be really beautiful on the inside as well as the outside and it would be nice to be able to display the internals with the case panels mounted. Having an alternate set of panels would also bring the...

    Would it be possible to trim the PCI retaining tab? Just an idea.

    Ncase M1 Build log - Gaming powerhouse

    Do you have room for the front I/O panel (and its internal cables) with the bottom rad installed? Pics would be great.

    Ncase M1 Build log - Gaming powerhouse

    Have you considered using the semi-fanless 300W ST30SF instead of ST45SF-G? Two of those would give a combined power supply of 600W and make for silent operation during idle. 300W on each psu should be enough, as getting an even power distribution is simple: the power consumption of the R9 290X...

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

    Could you tell me how far it is from the heatsink to the side panel? Do you think it could be plausible to fit a 25 mm thick fan and a 30 mm thick single 120 mm radiator there? From the pic I'm estimating that there's only around 50 mm or less of space but it would be nice to know for sure...

    What will your M1 build contain!?

    I probably won't build my pc any time soon - it might happen some time next year - so I still haven't finalized my build plans. I'm looking for the most quiet solution for a high-performance gaming pc. What I originally had in mind was to watercool both the CPU and GPU with the Swiftech H220...

    This is very interesting to me. Thank you for sharing this info. Looks like I'll be squeezing a 120 mm fan in between the rad and psu.

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

    With the Bitspower full-cover motherboard water block, you can't use the Swiftech Apogee Drive II. What solution for the pump are you guys planning to use if you go with the motherboard water block? Should you be able to fit a 38 mm tall DDC pump below the gpu (with gpu water block) without...

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

    I ordered a black one immediately once I saw the campaign was live. :) I'm not sure, but I think a full-cover motherboard block excludes the CPU and RAM. The Impact might not get a full-cover block as it is yet to be announced: "The type of water cooling solution (Full Board, Mosfet) to be...

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

    That's interesting. With watercooling for the motherboard there should be even less of a concern about not having a dedicated exhaust fan. Although, how much heat would be put into the loop? The power consumption of the Impact seems fairly high...
