Thomas B from Berlin, Germany, I tried to email you, but the email address you provided is invalid.
CONTACT ME via info@ncases.com
Get in touch, I like to verify your order.
Hey W360, not sure if i was supposed to, but i got that email regarding thomas B sent to my email as well. Not sure if you meant to, just wanted to let you know.
i´ve got that mail too.
so, everything´s fine and i can ignore that mail?
The first thing you need to determine is how much you want to overclock and what you want to water cool. If you plan to overclock and water cool the CPU and GPU then you will have to go with a 240mm radiator. If you don't plan to overclock and only plan to cool the CPU then you can get away with a single radiator AIO or air cooler. It depends on how much you overclock, how hard you are going to drive your equipment, how full you are going to pack the box, and how quiet you want it all to be. Some extreme options just aren't going to be possible with the M1 without moving things outside due to its size.
One option is to use the apogee drive II pump. However it is quite thick (tall) and because of the way the fittings stick out the side rather than the top or bottom, it can be a problem for tall memory sticks.
Another configuration I am considering is a 30-38mm 240mm radiator with two fans, a DDC pump on the back of the radiator in front of the cpu using a 120mm pump mount bracket, a flat pump top, and swivel fittings on the cpu block. I think there is enough room for this and it leaves space at the bottom for the GPU and fans. You may be able to get a push/pull configuration if you go to a 25mm thick radiator. Then you have to find a place for the tubing.
No GPU or short GPU allows more options at the bottom. Low profile cards or no cards allow a DDC pump (62mm) to be mounted at the back where the expansion card cover plate is.
If you do some cutting, I think you can get a DDC pump partially into the front panel through the GPU pass through hole.
If you are going with 3.5in HDDs then you are pretty much limited to a 120mm radiator inside.
The top of the case (outside) seems to be a great place for a 240mm radiator as well if you don't mind how it looks.
The H220 rad with its built-in res only leaves enough room for single SSD mounted to the inside front. If you want two SSDs, you need to use a shorter rad. Since it doesn't sound like you're planning to put the GPU in the loop, you're probably better off with a CLC anyway.I was thinking of using my GTX 660 (regular length two slot) and hoping to squeeze a 3.5HDD in right underneath it. Then stack two SSD's in next to the PSU with a 92mm fan in the bottom next to the 3.5HDD. For the CPU I want to liquid cool but I really like the swiftech design where the res can be filled/drained and its a little more maintainable. I'm currently oc'd to 4.5 ghz (3770K) with a Noctua D14 and it serves my needs well. Any faster and the OS seems a little unstable. Back to the cooler tho- in the future, I might like to upgrade the GPU and then might even go with a hydro copper or one that is really worthy of buying a block for, in which case I'd need the 220- back to swiftech... SO, all in all, my question really should be, if I went with the H220, could I squeeze (2) SSDs, (1) 3.5" HDD and my current regular old GTX 660 in the M1? And yeah, I also have to have my ODD...![]()
I can't believe I missed this..............this was literally the perfect case for me.
I just hope there is more to come in the future, such a great concept, it would be a shame to see it go away.
I don't think I'm buying any more computer parts until another good itx case comes out....
I think I'm just gonna wait it out. The M1 is what made me want a high performance ITX system. I just found out about it too late.
Until I find something that makes me feel the same way, I'll live with my current case.

Might be a stupid question since we don't have much information yet, but....
Will the Ncase M1 take one of the new AMD R9 290x graphics cards? They look wider than previous generation cards (7000 series)

I "measured" the card to be 11.0" using this particular photo: https://amd.app.box.com/GPU14shots/1/1186758355/10626278301/1
Necere is shipping the M1 to the prototype campaign donor who gave us $2K.
Good to know.
Now where do we find a suitable PSU to drive it? TDP estimated at 300w!
It's not that simple. If it was, they'd have done it already. It's as much a technical/cost problem as a demand problem. 500 units isn't very many anyway.Do you think if we all wrote an email to Silverstone asking for them to produce a 80 Plus Platinum/Titanium 600/650w SFX PSU, they'd consider it?
I'm sure there's at least 500 people from ncase buyers who would be interested?
