Necere, come up with a business plan and there would be no shortage of investors. Id imagine there are enough people on this board alone who would be willing passive investors.

Nice photoshop. The issue with using plastic is the substantial cost to set up the injection molds. Check out this post by CorsairGeorge, where he goes into the breakdown for what something like the M1 might cost to mass produce. He's talking about up-front tooling costs of a quarter of a million dollars. It's only possible to make that kind of investment if you're pretty sure you can sell a whole lot of them, over several years. And to do that, you need a real business: the engineers and product designers, the sales and marketing people, the distribution network, the support people. It's kind of amazing we've achieved what we have with this project, as just two people - amateurs, really, with hardly any experience or capital.
We're fortunate that a company like Lian Li exists. The way they manufacture cases is somewhat unique, in that much of the tooling is shared between many different models. This is what makes a project like ours possible. In effect, we're relying on their existing tooling and parts bin, as well as their case manufacturing experience to be able to deliver a high quality, unique, low volume case at a cost that, while not exactly cheap, is still in the ballpark of higher-end mass produced cases.
It'd be neat to design a case with plastic, since it allows a lot more flexibility than you get with sheet metal. But for the time being, at least, it's not something that's feasible for us.
Iirc the G10 is 2.5 slots wide since I know it fits the Corsair 250D that only has 2 slots. I'm not sure how wide the G10 is tho.Has anyone tried the Kraken G10 bracket to mount a CLC to their GPU?
I'm worried it'll scrape along the bottom of the case since it's a 3-slot cooling solution.
Also, has anyone tried 2x 120 CLCs? I'd like to have one for the GPU, and one for the CPU mounted to the side bracket.
For people that bought the ST45SF-G, did you find it easier to shorten the already short PP05-E kit cables or did you start from scratch with wires, connectors, housing, etc?
Exactly. You guys have quite a following. Even if you did small runs like you did with the first M1, they would surely sell out quickly. Maybe even do a second version similar to this (from post #7898):

Although, I would guess that it would be possible to separate the cables on the PP05-e kit anyway, as they appear to only be connected together by its insulation, as per usual for ribbon cables.
Thanks. I'll first give it a try on my PP05-E kit. It should technically be half of the work.I found it easiest to just bend the excess of the PP05-E cables out of the way (still seems to take up less space than the shorter stock cables).
In theory, shortening the PP05-E kit should be easier than building from scratch, since you'll only be adding half as many connectors.
Don't really see how individual wires would offer any better airflow than a combined PP05-E cable. Ideally, you'd want to tuck the cables out of the way as much as possible for better airflow (unless you're showing off custom sleeving or something).
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.. so do whichever makes you happy![]()
Now i'm just waiting to see someone insane stuff a Titan Z in one of these cases. XD
(may require that 600w SFX PSU though)
Everyone got five. Yes, we're aware that it's not enough to use more than one 2.5" mount (well, you can, by using two per drive at opposing corners). It's one of the things on the improvement list for rev2. You can order them (or any other screws) directly from Lian Li. W360 also ordered a bunch not too long ago, so he should be able to hook you up as well.can someone tell me how many of these screws we are suppose to have?
Maybe you already know this but the EK FC R9 290 block fits. Although if it was 3mm larger, it would have touched or pressed the sidepanel.
lol...was thinking the same thing.
For those M1 owners that work at Nvidia, you know how to find me![]()
In the "dedicated" sound card.Anyone who has an ASUS Impact MOBO:
Where do you plug the HDAudio cable from the front I/O panel of the ncase?
In the "dedicated" sound card.
You could put the cable under the actual card and then run it along the GPU. I don't have a picture of it but I copied it from a guy on here that has a blog. If you are interested I'll take a picture of that or find his blog.
#186 arrived and got promptly unpacked. I dug out my very first mini-itx build (from ~2004) for this family photo![]()
Congrats, man. What're you going to stick in that thing?
Necere, I recommend you put something in front of your question to make it stand out more, because this forum's default skin makes it harder to differentiate posts and users and many things get lost in the other comments.Can someone that has the Frozen Q reservoir installed on the M1 do me a favor and see how much space there is between the res and the PCI retaining tab? I'm lowering the rear fan mount and watercooling holes by 2mm and I need to see if it's going to cause problems for the res.
