Yes, if you paid the extra $15 for "Extra no-ODD slot top cover" you should receive both top covers.
Thank you!

Thankfully the coolant in AIOs does not expand significantly at low pressure, and the plastic/rubber tubes will easily accept any tiny expansion in whatever little bit of air exists in the loop.
Air heatsink is more likely to be affected by vibration if you plan to fly often with it. But even then - if you screw if down properly it won't have enough momentum (weight) to damage the motherboard PCB.
I don't know about US airline security, but you should phone them and ask about water cooled PCs. You may be able to get some kind of letter from them that you can hand in at security that might save you some hassle.
I really don't see why you'd have any problems w/water-cooled M1 as carry-on, since the cabin is pressurized.
But I do wonder if your rig could be flagged if it contains a fluid amount above whatever their current restriction is (I imagine they might want to pop the side panel off to take a closer look if they notice "strange" liquid-filled tubing in the x-ray).
Probably less of a hassle to just check-in the M1 as luggage, but I'm not sure the cargo area is pressurized as well as the cabin. Plus, the way some of those guys toss around luggage loading and unloading.. I'd be a nervous wreck watching that.
I'd personally be more comfortable doing air-cooled w/solid-state drives only as a carry-on, if you're traveling a lot. But if airline & TSA are okay w/water-cooled rigs as carry-on, then go for it. Seems like a crap-shoot, though.
EDIT: Yeah, what WiSK just said![]()
so as long as the accelerometers I have on various bits of the PC aren't tripped, then it will be fine. They've never passed 3g, so...
Don't mean to pry, but are the accelerometers for your school work.. or maybe intrusion detection? Or just damage assessment during your travels?
And most importantly, how in the heck do you keep them powered inside a PC case during flight? Or are they more like shock-meters?
Color me intrigued..
EDIT: Oh, and you might find this short thread helpful. Doesn't look promising..

It seems closed to me, for more than a week now. I don't know what you're upset about.wtf its not closed yet....
I was really hoping only a limited number of these would be sold -.-

A bit of the first and third, more the first though...

wahaha360: Will we get to see shots of the third prototype soon?![]()
3rd prototype?
We ordered extra (~10%) in case of defects.
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier - like I said, I kind of felt like not dealing with the M1 for a bitThe 3rd prototype is supposed to be the completed production model they received a couple of weeks back from Lian Li. This is supposed to be the final model we all get. I would like to see some pictures of it as well, especially a good back shot where the fan and tubes go, and would like to know if there were any problems that prevented it from being the final version for production. I am also wondering if the order has been submitted yet to Lian Li and where we are on their schedule. This Information would be appreciated by all I'm sure.

Shouldn't those extra 10% be kept for defects then?
1) M1 takes 40D to produce. Since we are shipping from Taiwan to backers, we could theoretically order by NOV2013 and still make JAN2014 delivery.
Pretty sure it's not closed. I tried adding an M1 to cart and it immediately jumped me to PayPal for payment. Oddly, the PayPal shopping cart was listed under LEXIAO USA instead of NCASES, though.. not sure what's up with that.
I'm guessing Wahaha PM'd Danny the "M1LateOrder" link, and he posted it here for Gameaholic. Maybe he ordered extra, or hasn't submitted the orders to Lian Li yet?
That's a pretty cool idea, thanks for the info!

If anyone's curious, Adamantium is working on a design for a res that's custom-made for the rear mount on the M1.
Sorry- noobie here-
what's a res?
- Provides a reserve volume of water to make up for losses that can occur over time
- Allow for expansion and contraction of the water volume (minimal)
- Can serve as an air-trap to help remove air bubbles from the system
- Provides an easily accessed fill point
- Can help reduce NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) of the pump
- Submerged pump may run quieter and cooler
I thought you said the reason you were having them shipped to backers direct from Taiwan, was so that we could get them sooner than January??
Would kind of suck to have to deal with both import fees & delays, without any benefit of actually getting the case sooner than expected imo.
Shipping from Taiwan directly to end backers will be faster than shipping to US then to everyone.
I hate to pick for info, but it sounds like their is a possible updated timeline from the way you are describing things?

I'm considering a trip to Taiwan to ship M1s to backers.
This could minimize Delivery Time, VAT and Tariff for everyone, plus I don't mind getting my M1 by Xmas![]()

Wait a second, have I completely missed the chance to buy it?

EMAIL ERROR CLARIFICATION
Among all the M1 order verification emails sent, a total of 4 people received the wrong shipping address of one person.
For that one person's address sent to these 4 people. I apologize for the mistake.
Necere was concerned about the scope of the mistake. I just wanted to clarify.
I haven't received an email verification yet... placed my order with the lateorder link you provided last week. Will I still receive a case?
