Daaaaaaamn.
You may have a chance to pick one up on ebay. Also, W360 will have leftovers from the extra they ordered for returns I would imagine.

That's awesome, I'll take whatever discounts I can get
Z87I-DELUXE - 10% brings it down to 170 and I wonder if I can use another 5% coupon for checking out via the app
If anyone is interested Tom's Hardware did a review on Low-Profile CPU Coolers.
I noticed on the spreadsheet "AdtEU" said the H100i was a tight fit, and looking at pics of his build, I can see why:

With the tubing towards the front, there's not much space for it to bend before it hits the PSU. Instead, I would recommend installing it with the tubing at the back, like I did with the H60i:

The H100i is a 240mm version of the H60i, so it should fit just the same.
Just remember that code is only good for 72 hours. No idea if they'll do another round of discounts. Hopefully they will.
Won't fit I'm afraid. The block is ~66mm tall, but the ports are on top so you'd need right angle fittings. Shortest ones you can find are probably these Koolance low profile elbows, which are ~20mm. Assuming you choose the slimmer XSPC EX rad with the kit, it's 36mm for the rad, then 25mm for the fans. You're at 146mm tall. There's only around 130mm to the side bracket.I've also been eyeing up one of these, but it's a fair bit more expensive. I think red fans with red coolant would look pretty good though.

It's all warrantied like a Corsair or Antec one would be, as well.
Guys, just to let you know, the black feet that was supposed to be shipped with the silver M1's are now available for purchase from the supplier (who supplied Lian Li).

I don't know if these are from the same supplier or not, but they look identical as far as I can tell. I don't see any reason they wouldn't be a straight swap with the stock feet.They look really cool. But can Necere confirm these were the ones supposed to came with the case?
Probably holiday/Christmas sale?
I still have some major components yet to grab... mainly video card, SSD, monitor, and PSU (which I hope I can be patient for as long as possible trying to see if there's a new SFX PSU beefier than the ST45SF-G)

The only way to make it work with that pump is to drop down to a thinner rad (e.g., the Alphacool ST30 @ 30mm), and slim fans (<=15mm thick).
If you don't mind going with a short GPU and want two SSDs and two full size HDDs, this is what I am planning:
I am going with the Koolance CPU 380i block, a Black Ice GTX Extreme Gen Two 120mm dual-pass radiator (54mm thick), a single 120mm x 25mm fan, and two Koolance 90 degree low profile rotary barbs. I just got the barbs today and they look great. I replaced the swiftech 90 degree low profile rotary fittings I originally purchased with these because they are lower profile by about 4 or 5 mm and eliminate the need for compression fittings. They are also about half the price of swiftech.
When dealing with the 90 degree rotaries you need to take into account the diameter of your tube, clamps or compression fittings. Most if not all compression fittings will work with the Swiftech 90s, but the Koolance rotary barbs are even lower profile and eliminate the need for the other fittings. The problem with the Koolance psuedo-rotary cubes mentioned a couple of time now is that they mount flush with the block surface. Therefore if your tubing, clamps, or compression fittings are larger in diameter than the cube height (17mm) you won't be able to install them. Therefore you will have to use barbs anyway with the cubes since a 5/8in OD tube will be all that fits without a clamp, and that is without a barb inside.
The rotary barbs are nearly the same height as the cubes (+4.4mm, ~1/8in) and have the barbs already installed. Since the barbs an integrated part of the fitting they can make it shorter than a rotary that must support G1/4 threads and an o-ring seal. The barbs come with nice looking compression clamps, however with the PrimoChill Advanced LRT 3/8 x 5/8 tubing, they are very tight and don't need them (I'll use the clamps anyway). Beware that the clamp size that comes with the barbs is for thin wall tubing 3/8in x 1/2in OD for example, but you can buy 5/8in clamps for an additional $0.99/clamp. And as I mentioned before the barbs are inexpensive too at only $5.49 with thin wall clamp included at the source Koolance 90 barb.
The CPU 380i plus rotary barbs installed is about 42mm thick. Combined with the 54mm Black Ice GTX Xtreme and 25mm fan it totals 121mm. This should leave around 9mm of clearance according to the 130mm number. Once I get my M1s, I will mount everything and measure the clearance to see if a 38mm delta fan will fit. I believe it will if the fan is mounted on the side opposite the block since the radiator is actually about 5mm recessed on the fitting side. 252CFM (and the sound of a radio controlled jet) yea!![]()
It looks almost exactly as on Neceres render.I plan on buying the NH C12P with the Asus ROG Impact, do you guys think it'll fit similar to the one on the picture from Necere's air cooling configs?
With a Intel stock cooler (until I find something better) and an EVGA GTX 770 reference blower and no case fans, the ST45SF-G is by far the loudest item in the build.
Would better airflow towards the PSU (e.g. by mounting extra fans in the fan bracket in front of the PSU) lower the RPM's of the stock fan in the PSU? Or is it only linked to the load?
Also, have anyone tested the diffences the PSU orientation does with respect to noise and/or performance? My ST45SF-G is really loud with the fan pointing inwards.
Fan speed is based on internal temperature and load. So the cooler you keep it, the quieter it will be.

I'm going to call Taiwan Postal Office tonight to get a shipping update...
For the silent freaks, its still not a silent solution, so I went with a 120mm with adapter.
Any chance of a picture to show us the mod you did. The lack of a "proper" psu is the only thing holding me back in terms of buying all the components.
Thought about the noise blocker mod and the noctua outside, but I really want a whisper quiet system. I'm even gonna lap the NH-C14 to make sure that the cpu stays as cool as possible to avoid high rpm.
Currently powered by the internal fan output, with a Noctua L.N.A. in series (it was handy from my U9B). Idle RPM at this time is 650-700 RPM, full load RPM is 1000-1100 RPM. With a 120mm fan at 1K rpm, its practically silent enough![]()

Not a great photo, but this was my temporary solution. You can see that its just a cardboard box that adapts the 120 fan into the 80mm hole. I have blocked the top 20% of the hole for the 80mm fan opening to encourage the air to flow through the PSU rather than straight through the exit vents of the PSU. Also, the fan is currently offset to give room for the SSDs, but in the real case, I will be re-making this adapter to better fit the NCase M1 when it arrives.

ASUS Impact + NH C12P with SE14 fan -> There is exactly 2cm gap/space between SE14 fan and side fan/hdd bracket.
Ok, this is gonna sound stupid, but i forgot to order the no-ODD panel.
Is there anybody out there that ordered a panel too many or is there a way to still order one ??

what is up with the dispatch to germany? all countries were supplied at once or not yet. but germany: ONE case delivered, the rest is still in taiwan and not even dispatched, while the rest of europe already got their cases? some messing up by the postal office?
Rest of Europe get their cases? Think again, look at your friendly neighbours the Dutch(... and French) Have some patience!
Imagine, there is a boat leaving for Germany. Taiwan post office reserves X containers. They fill those up with parcels and letters. If there is space left at the end for one package, it will go in the container.
Loupi was lucky, that's all![]()
I'm going to call Taiwan Postal Office tonight to get a shipping update and I will definitely ask about Germany.
Germany is particularly complicated for exports, I hope the delay problem is not with customs.
All packages are shipping.
The one person that received in Germany was VIP.
