Double post, my bad.

USPS tracking is what I used. The iPost tracking still says the same thing it always did - Despatch No. 0025 Office of destination FOREIGNCENTER JERSEYU.S.A.
Well I've got my system up and running, but the guts aren't pretty enough to show off. A couple of things to note:
1. Replaced the Swiftech H220 with a Noctua NH-L12
1.1 Stock NH-L12 won't fit on the ASRock Z77E-ITX I had to bend the heat pipes away from the PCI-e/GPU.
2. The system is loud as hell, especially compared to my previous silence optimized Fractal Design Define Mini build.
2.1 I suspect it's the temperamental 80mm fan in the Silverstone ST45SF-G.
3. I haven't mounted my media/mass storage HDD because of the inflexibility of the stock PSU cables
3.1 Going to replace them with custom cables.
Otherwise, it's working.
CrapMine's on Despatch #26 to New Jersey (left TW on Nov 7). Anyone know if that means it's on an entirely different boat, or just a different container??
@ Diverge and/or anyone with Despatch #25: what date is your "dispatch from originating country" at iPost?

I have Despatch #26 too =( This wait is killing me!
#26 as well. I have almost all of my parts sitting in my closet waiting to be assembled. Hnngh
#26 here as well. Hopefully it means that boat #26 is just a day behind #25 so us west coast people can receiver our cases next week.
#26 myself as well, though my dispatch date reads November 7, so I would think maybe a week before they begin moving out maybe? (Started a week later, Arrives a week later)
Nothing new. Still in Taiwan. Dispatch #26.
You can get the H220 to fit on the Z77E-ITX if you use real low profile ram, and file the corner of the motherboard VRM heatsink (pop it off first, so you don't get metal filings in your motherboard). I just did it today and posted some pics in the picture thread if you're interested.

Yup, at least another week to go (plus ground time) for us, unless.. Despatch #26 is faster..

( my M1 shopping is about done, so instead, I wasted time 'chopping a BF4 expansion pack for the M1.. even recreated the M1 logo in vector. Lol, so sad)
Finally have my build of M1 done, got it running last sunday. I changed the PSU fan, but it is still the making the most noise in my case...Some pictures of my build, sorry for bad quality, I don't have any good camera:

I should probably do a better version of this for people, but in the meantime:It would be handy if I actually knew what all the screws are for...
Going to try to figure out the fan filters now.
Did you change it to the Blacksilent pro fan in the PSU or something else?
Nice, first build I've seen with the pump on the bottom and an external res. And a medium-thickness rad, even. Looks like you managed everything pretty well. Too bad you had to give up the USB ports. I think it would be possible to keep them using a different pump top (with both ports on the side instead of the one on top of the MCP35X).Finally have my build of M1 done, got it running last sunday.

I used that Swiftech microres at the back, with a extra hole at the top. Would have bought that FrozenQ, but I already bought this just before. It fits there okay, so I'm happy with that. Also changed that PSU fan grill to that.

So, I'm using Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 as a rad, and as it wasn't thick enough I had to use 7mm shrouds for the fans that I could get my tubing routed between the rad and the NCase fan bracket. Also had to split one fan header from my Impact because one header was broken and could get my fan spinning. (Those white headers...)

There's Swiftech MCP35X pump in the front, had to leave USB ports from the front away... Would have left those audio connectors, but my gpu has those power connectors stacked like that, so the pump didn't fit there... And those filters are those "first design" ones from Demciflex, I'm happy with them.

Are you using the Demciflex filters just on the side, or did you get one for the bottom rear fan as well?
Btw, you can link to smaller versions of images on imgur by appending 's', 'm', or 'l' (for small, medium, or large, respectively; though "large" isn't actually that large) to the filename (before the extension), like so: http://i.imgur.com/grny4OJl.jpg
Turns out I did ask for M4 nuts to be included in one of our emails; it either wasn't understood or overlooked.
I think I may just tell Demciflex to put up the original filter design. Honestly, the alternatives I came up with aren't much better, while being a lot more complex which might lead to problems with application and structural integrity. The originals also have the advantage of being able to use one per 120mm fan location, so you can choose to leave a spot open for whatever reason. And I know you guys are probably tired of waiting![]()
So will the original 120mm Demci filters fit on the bottom and on the PSU intake also, or are you still working on something different for those locations??
They do work on the bottom. There are lots of mounting holes, so it's not a perfect, but at worst the little magnetic strips would need a bit of trimming.So will the original 120mm Demci filters fit on the bottom and on the PSU intake also, or are you still working on something different for those locations??
Well, having the adhesive magnetic strips going over the perforations is not a great idea IMO, since they'll pick up dust. And there's not space to have the filters clear the vents completely.It would probably be easier to just have the filters made for the holes in the side panels rather than individual components in the case. Sames goes for the bottom. Just my opinion though.
Thanks for the info !I should probably do a better version of this for people, but in the meantime:

Also I think you may be mistaken about using three of the 6-32 pan head screws for your SSDs; it should be the smaller M3 pan heads for that (which would make sense since there are five included and you have two in your picture).
I think the HDD cage uses 4x M3.5 screws, or something like that, as well. Not actually sure if they're in your image (in with the M4s?) or not, though.
Yeah, fan filters need to be used with the M4 screws and fans. Kind of a problem if you want to use them alone or with a 92mm fan on the bottom, I admit. Turns out I did ask for M4 nuts to be included in one of our emails; it either wasn't understood or overlooked.
Superb, I'll probably be getting my R9 290X watercooled and clean it out completely while I'm at it. I can't wait for easily removeable fan filters !I think I may just tell Demciflex to put up the original filter design.
