Okay thanks, Also.. What about a decent Air cooler that does fit the V3..?
You can check the google docs.

Best air cooler so far is the Noctua NH-C14.

Are you sure?
There is someone with the M1 using the C1...
I was dead set on getting this cooler
Is this only an Issue with the V3?
Feel free. Not sure how well it'll work being made of plastic, but it's better than nothing.Got my V3 bracket in today for my v1 case =)
Question to Necere; do you like(mind/care) if I make a .stl for a 3D printer?
Maybe the SX600 but the rev1.1, if you go for the SX500 you will need cut off the connectors or but short connectors.
It's been selling for about 3 weeks here in Taiwan. But according to my observation, it's not widely available yet. Only a few small stores listed it and the store I bought from didn't have one in stock so it was back ordered from SilverStone.
I haven't powered anything with the SX500-LG yet. I'll try it on my current desktop in the weekend if I have time because it would be a tedious job to replace all the power cables.
Will update on the SX500-LG thread if I have anything to share.
I gave it a few other tries and was able to squeeze in a few connectors.
The wires do push toward the GPU. Here're the pictures I took today:
The 2mm would definitely help, but it's hard to judge whether the wires would still push towards the GPU.
The PCI-E power cable connector seems shorter so it's easy to fit in.
The GPU is clearly pushed down by the cords.
With the 24pin ATX power cable.
I think it's time to order a V3 bracket and try it out! Hope it's sent directly from Taiwan.
The V3 SFX bracket is no different from the earlier version with respect to CPU cooler clearance. You can use the ATX bracket and an SFX PSU with an adapter plate (Silverstone supplies one), which should allow the Cryorig C1 to fit without giving up long GPU support. You do give up one side 120mm fan mount though, and the option to use the 3.5" HDD cage.
I wonder if MODDIY could make a cable set with shorter connectors for the SX500-LG. They already sell cable kits for SilverStone PSUs.
Any idea if the 5th of Jan dispatch tracking numbers will be up soon?
Is the Silverstone SX500-LG PSU, a clearance problem at all, if I go and get a short-PCB 970 such as the upcoming ASUS GeForce® GTX 970 DC Mini?

I recommend cutting your cables shorter and resleeving them. It'll take a lot of time unless you pay someone else to do it for you, but it's worth it.Man, this is a tight fit with the GTX 980, Cryorig C1 and Silverstone ST45SF-G. I've ordered the short flexible PSU cable kit so hopefully that helps a bit on being able to bend and tuck the wires.. As is, I basically cannot move or hide any of the wires, whatsoever. I know that's not the point of this case as it's not meant to show the internals, but it's impacting airflow a bit. Also wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to where I should place fans. I have two 120mm noiseblocker eloop fans that I'm just not sure where they should go, yet. Also may mount a fan on the back if that would help at all.
Sorry for the potato quality pics..
That combo will have no issues fitting.Is the Silverstone SX500-LG PSU, a clearance problem at all, if I go and get a short-PCB 970 such as the upcoming ASUS GeForce® GTX 970 DC Mini?
I'd probably put both on the bottom.Also wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to where I should place fans. I have two 120mm noiseblocker eloop fans that I'm just not sure where they should go, yet.
The Nepton should fit fine.Anyways my questions are will the CM Nepton 240M fit with zero issues mounted to the side bracket? I assume it will since people fit the h100i and its about the same size unless im overlooking something. I want my system as quiet as possible and it looks like the Nepton 240m blows everything out of the water in its class, My other choice would be the c14 air cooler. I really want to keep the inside very clean and simple but worried about the weight and stress the C14 might put on the MB/Processor especially if the case is moved and carried around from time to time. What do you guys think? Price difference isnt much $75-C14 vs $90-Nepton 240m after rebate.
Yes.Oh yeah, does any one know if I can use the full hard drive bracket, if I get the SX500 PSU as well?
Hey M4rk, sure has. How've you been?Been a long time since I've posted in this thread, I feel like I've missed a lot.
If you go to newegg and look at their CPU coolers, filter by 92mm fan models and sort by price, there are quite a few basic small coolers for ~$10 that will work.i'm planning to air cool before i set up a wc loop. what's the cheapest thing other than a stock intel hsf that would fit in the ncase m1? unfortunately i've already thrown away the stock hsf long ago as i thought it would never be of use to me.
Last we talked I got a job as a community manager for a social games studio in California. That didn't last forever (the studio downsized) and now I'm back in Florida. Basically a free agent again. Looks like I missed some new case ideas getting posted here and actually produced. Going to try and read through some of what I missed.Hey M4rk, sure has. How've you been?
Yeah, though it's been on the backburner for a while. I have a thread on it here.Are you guys still working on the smaller steambox design? I was always interested in that too.
Hey, been following this thread of a bit and was just wondering something - I see that the current run is expected to run out soonish - is it safe to assume there will be more in the future? I'll be building in 6ish months but wouldn't want to miss out on this case!
be Quiet! just announced two new coolers at CES.
The 'Dark Rock topflow' looks rather interesting. According to here it has a height of 130mm w/ the fan and 110mm w/o the fan.
At the current sales rate, I expect our inventory to last into March or April, maybe even later. Six months? I can't say for sure, but four months is a fair bet. I also don't know if there will be another run in the future; it will really depend mostly on whether w360 wants to keep doing it. It is a fair bit of work - dealing with customer issues on a daily basis, organizing shipping and payments, etc., and can be stressful, so we'll see.Hey, been following this thread of a bit and was just wondering something - I see that the current run is expected to run out soonish - is it safe to assume there will be more in the future?

The H105 is a thicker rad and will be a bit trickier to find room for, so what you might consider doing is just trying it out when you get the case and then go from there - either keep it if it works for you, or replace it with something else.trying to decide on cooling for when my case gets here. i have a brand new h105 that im thinking about selling if there is a better option. my old h105 performed amazing though. im open to air coolers but only if they are as quiet and perform the same or better as the h105. anyone have any thoughts or should i stick with the h105 and get some nice fans for it?
Dan/w360 rightly deserves most of the credit for that: when you send a message to our support email, that's who you're talking to. He occasionally consults with me on customer issues, and I've tried to impress my own philosophy of customer service on him, but as far as day-to-day support, it's all him.side note: had some issues with my case shipping and its going to be a bit longer than id hoped but my god Ncase has by FAR the best customer service i have ever dealt with. Seriously, every company should strive to be as helpful and kind as these guys! Will be buying the steambox to support you guys if it comes to fruition
Watercooling a (stock) CPU will probably result in a louder overall experience because of the pump. The only real reason to go with watercooling (in the Ncase) is because you have overclocks that require >20% extra voltage and/or want to watercool the GPU.While I'm happy with my current air cooled set up, as it is very silent, it does get quite hot in the small case. Hence I might opt for some additional cooling.
