Very nice, thank you. Good! Then I can purchase the case and not have doubts. I live on the US east coast. Needed a better CPU cooler for overclocking so I wanted to get a case that has more room for such things. I could have gotten the Node 304 but I don't think that case can fit in a book bag.
You guys are so awesome! Thanks! Did you guys like the fit and finish of the case? Any problems? Also how long did it take to deliver from shipping? For example if I choose TW Air2 and I live in the US.
Hey thanks so much! Sorry I should have specified the keyboard. It's a Logitech K260. So whatever that is. Though this keyboard is pushing it. I'll go ahead and get the M1 now. I just wanted to make sure it was portable enough to take to people's houses and whatnot.
Edit: Actually I wanted to...
Hey guys,
So, just wanted to ask a quick question. Have any of you ever attempted to put the Ncase M1 in a book bag. Like a Jansport bag you take to school. I'm curious if this case could fit in such a bag as I think it would be awesome for portability. Currently have a SG13 and it fits inside...
Hey Firewolfy,
I have a question. I was checking out this case along with Hahutzy's case since both of your cases are so similar besides the psu difference. Have you checked if your case would fit comfortably in a bookbag? That would be great for portability and bringing it along to places...
Hahutzy,
If it makes any difference, I'm not really feeling the handle either. I think there's a Lian Li case that does that. It would limit it to the vertical orientation. I know I may want to experiment with laying the case down horizontally. Whatever's comfortable with you though. Keep up...
Hahutzy,
I have a question, since you decreased the length, will that have any impact on what type of mini itx gpus can fit in the case? Would a r9 nano or a gtx 970 still fit? I don't know these video cards' length measurements.
Awesome Hahutzy that you've decided to keep the original design. Any updates on the prototype that you were supposed to receive from the manufacturer? By the way, whenever this case is completed, how much do you think it would cost, or are you unable to make that assessment right now? Thanks again.
Awesome Hahutzy. A case than can fit both an external and an internal power supply is nice while maintaining the same volume. It would make it very versatile. Keep up the good work. Also M.2 is pretty important for me too so I'll make sure to see what you come up with in that regard. I have...
Hey Hahutzy,
I have a question, do you think your case would be able to fit in a bookbag or some type of backpack? I think that would be so awesome and its something I'm looking for. Also I don't mind the flex atx limitation. Currently they have a 400 Watt by FSP and there's a 500 Watt, but I...
Hahutzy,
Just wanted to say what an awesome idea you have! The fact that you managed to fit all this in 4 Liters is astounding. Let me tell you a story: I have the Lone Industries L3. It's made by a guy from Canada. Anyway, the dimensions match very closely with your case, yours is probably a...
Hmm, so I don't need to use all the pins on the Kycon connector? If so can I do this, take three 16 awg wires from the three V+ and V- terminals on the power supply, then twist all three of the copper wires together and solder them together. Take said combined wire and solder it to one pin on...
Cool. I planned on getting the r9 nano. I didn't consider the LRS Series because I was looking for a power supply with an active PFC. That series doesn't have that feature. As for the USP Series, those are actually open. They're not enclosed like the others.
I'm probably going to stick with the...
Do you have any meanwell power supplies you recommend? It seems as if most of them either have one or two fans. There is also the PFC series. I thought 1U would be neat since it would be smaller than the other ones. The less bulk the better, since I was planning on using the S4 Mini as a...
Hey thanks QinX,
So you're saying I wouldn't have to bother with that special connector if I was just using it as an external ac to dc power adapter? I can just wire up the one V+ and V- to a 4 pin Kycon connector? Like this...
Hah! Thanks Josh! I would too if I knew how to wire that pinout. Most of the higher watt power supplies have this strange pinout. I don't know how to make that work. Here's an example:
Edit: I had a link here but apparently I can't link to it...
Huh, curious. So you're saying that these power supplies most likely cannot handle that sudden spike. I wonder how those mean well power supplies that Josh mentioned would handle this. They're pretty sturdy and look to be used for industrial usage. I'm curious to try out this scenario. I already...
Huh, so the pcie specifications only limit an average power consumption instead of a maximum. What do you know? In that case, this totally makes sense. Hmm......so how you would ever choose the right power supply. Theoretically, power consumption would only be limited by the conductors then...
True but I'm going more on the specifications and the physics of the device. The PCIE 8 pin specification has a limit of 150 Watts.
http://cdn.overclock.net/a/ac/1000x2000px-LL-ac82eb1d_pinout.png
As you can see, the 8 pin has 5 ground pins and 3 hot pins. Two of the ground pins serve as sense...
Besides the r9 nano, I'm assuming the gtx 970 is the second most powerful mini itx graphics card? Anyone have any opinions on the asus or gigabyte gtx 970? Which one is quieter, better temperatures under load? Also any fan issues on either one? My current gtx 750 ti is nice, but the fan makes a...
Updawg,
I know you have a T variant for your processor but do you think you could try undervolting it? I wonder if that would help the situation. Though if what an earlier person said was true, about the nano drawing 490 Watts on its own, then that might be a problem. It uses an 8 pin...
Hey,
So I need some help figuring out the part number of these molex connectors on the PicoPSU PCB. Anyone know what they are?
After I figure this out, I can determine the maximum gauge of wires I'll be able to connect to it. These connectors will be the limiting point of the...
Hey Josh,
I was taking a look at the power supply you got, the one that you mentioned in your video. How does it work with the PicoPSU? I looked up on the sff website and some member said that when it comes to these 12 V DC to DC converters, the power supply is the one that does the heavy...
Ah that makes sense. Thanks Josh, it also explains why the bunny ears are there in the first place. The bunny ears appear to be 22 awg, so 18 should suffice. It would be nice if I could fit two 16 awg wires in one contact terminal on the molex. It would make everything all neat and symmetrical...
Alright Josh, I watched your video again. So you mentioned changing the main Pico wires. The big thick wires are 16 awg which should be fine. What is up with that weird bunny loop though? Why is it there? Now I know that the 4 pin connects to a 4 pin to mini din adapter which is why that 4 pin...
So I know it's been a while since I last responded, but I was thinking about this idea. I know the 160 Watt PicoPSU has 2 HDD pinouts located on the pcb. They seem to have some type of molex connector that can connect, I don't know which one it is, still looking. I was thinking, what if I could...
Thanks Josh! I really appreciate all your help. Right now I'm trying to understand pinouts and how they all work with each other. I found a 250 watt mean well 12v power supply. Check it out:

Hey totally I understand. If you want, you can get the Z170, since the H170 may be missing some features you may find important, and get a cheap pentium for now. I don't know if you have a microcenter near you but a lot of times they have good deals on processors.
Personally I chose the the...
Hi Josh,
If you ever get the chance, I had a few questions I wanted to ask you.
I was thinking about getting your case, it would be an upgrade from my Lone Industries L3. Do you plan to make more production runs whenever this first batch sells out? I was planning on hopefully pairing this with...
I can at least help you on the processor. I did something similar with a new build I made in February. Originally I got a Pentium G3258 from Microcenter for 50 dollars. My original plan was to always have an I5 quad core, but I didn't have the money, so I settled on the Pentium at the time. Now...
I have a question, does anyone know what happened to the low profile gtx 750 ti? I can't seem to find any in stock nor any mention of anyone selling them. Where did they all go? Did they cease manufacturing? If so, then the only other card I can think of putting in the L3 would have to be a...
Nice. I just took a look at nvidia's history and it seems most of the highest end cards were 10.5 inches. I think I saw an evga 8800 gtx at 10.6 but that's close enough. So it looks like they will stay consistent.
By the way, did anyone notice how the 7800 gtx was a single slot card? It only...
Hmm a 10.5 inch would be reasonable. Basically I'm looking to be able to put the highest single gpu nvidia card in there which I believe is 10.5 inches. At least the reference pcb. Some are 11 inches but those are usually very overclocked. I'm going to look back at years past for other nvidia...
Does anyone know the gpu length that silverstone will support? I believe the sg05 supported 10 inch cards, I'm hoping this sg13 will support 11 inch video cards. I'm debating between three cases: the sg13, the ncase m1, and the a4. That last one uses an external power supply so I'm really...
Well if you ever do a pre order, you can sign me up. So there's one! :-)
Edit: I totally understand as to why you didn't manufacture more than 20 units. After all, you're not a big time manufacturer with a lot of resources so it's understandable. Though I do have a question, do you design these...
Unfortunately you're all out of stock for the L2 cases. I'll be waiting if you ever decide to produce these again. Actually are there any alternatives similar to the L2? I'd prefer one that allows the ability to use a pico psu.
I have another question. Does the white case fade over time or change to an off white color? I've heard this happens to cases that have white plastic, but I don't know much about this one. Also is the white case more susceptible to getting dirty than the black one?
I wanted to ask what color would any of you recommend, the white or black? The black is sold out and there's only one white left so I may not be able to purchase it anyway but I thought I'd ask. I prefer silver, but I wouldn't mind trying something different.
Have you looked at the silverstone raven rvz01? The downside is it uses a SFX power supply so you might have to buy a new one.

I have a question for anyone who can help me out. I was interested in this case as I planned to use a gtx 750 ti along with this. The thing is, I don't know how much tdp from a cpu I can take. I was planning on getting the highest pico psu available which is the 160 xt with a comparable power...
