Just finished off some CPU fan testing in my M1, if anyone is interested I could post up some results? If it's not already been done, that is, stuff reading every page to check!!

I'm sure it would be useful in the most current build thread to help people on the fence about certain components.

I just inherited a slim slot load dvd drive. Can anyone tell me if I need a specific plug for the power? I know they sell slimline cables that have a molex and SATA, but can I use a regular SATA cable and a power plug? I have the SX-600 power supply and i don't think it came with a power plug that fits the drive. Any help appreciated
The Silverstone PP05-E short cable set has a slimline sata connector that you need for a slimline optical drive. There is also the Silverstone CP10 which is just the slimline connector combo, it's all black and sleeved - better looking than other molex+sata cables you might have seen.
Hey all, how long does an order take to ship?
I placed my order and paid through Paypal on Wednesday, and I haven't heard anything since then. I reached out to NCASE in an email yesterday asking for a status update, and haven't heard anything from them either. Just wondering if this is normal or if something is wrong with my order.

Orders are shipped out in bulk so you will have to wait for the next ship date IIRC.

You could get one of these, or this, don't know how well they work, though...I got a sata/molex->slimline adaptor.
To answer your question, generally no, you'll need an adapter.
Edit: Actually, those two look like they're for a different kind of connector (eSATA, maybe?), probably want one of these.

The cable is 38cm excluding the connectors.
Hey Necere, I was hoping you could answer a question for me. With a 3.5" HDD on the floor of the chassis, I know there isn't enough room for a 120mm fan to mount next to it by default, though it seems like there will be just enough room if the HDD connectors aren't attached. I also noticed that the 120mm fan mounts are slotted and will allow a little bit of forward and aft adjustment. So my question is, how much clearance will there be, between the HDD and the 120mm fan, if the fan was mounted as far forward as possible? Thanks in advance!
About 8mm.

The shorter v2/v3 power cable is ~45cm from my measurements (from end-to-end, including both connectors).
You can buy the PP05-E kit from Amazon for $30..
http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Flexible-Short-Modular-PP05-E/dp/B00H7Y3I4M
The majority of the other cables included with this set are shorter than the stock SX600-G cables, so consider the additional space-saving an added benefit (in addition to the ODD power cable).

I see, and when is the next ship date?
For anyone wondering about current shipping estimates and tracking numbers:
Orders placed before April 5th should be in the most recent batch, which we should have tracking numbers for by tomorrow night (the 14th).
Orders placed after April 5th will be shipped with the next batch, which should be sometime next week.

And FYI, if you've sent him an email recently and are waiting on a reply, he's been swamped with taxes and hasn't had a chance to catch up on the backlog. I'm helping to clear out the support inbox as best I can, but there will be some things that will require his attention and may take a little longer.
Dropping by after a long time. My system has been used mostly for gaming on an eyefinity set-up since it arrived (V1). At the time there were some people discussing about running the 290x on 450 watts. I will share my experience.
I have ran the reference 290x on the Silverstone SST-ST45SF (450W non-gold) with an 4670k at 4.6 Ghz at 1.34V for the last few weeks. To achieve that I used the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 and delidded the CPU and used sandpaper to make the Noctua and CPU extremely flat (mirror finish). Prime95 will make the temperature go bad, but with gaming and Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility the cores never exceed 75, so thats perfect.
Before that I used that same setup but without the overclock.
I never had any trouble. So I guess the Silverstone SST-ST45SF can handle the 290x (reference) with a decent overclock on at least the CPU.
Some pics of my extremely wired up system:
If any1 wants more pics or info let me know.

What kind of finish is used for the Silver panels on the M1?
It looks brushed + clear anodized for protection?
I've ordered a POK3R and was thinking about getting the case finished/ refinishing the case to at least sort of match my M1.
They look like short Cold cathodes to me.

I used two sets of this: "Revoltec Ultra Bright Cold RED Light - 10cm TWIN set"
So thats 4 lights in total.
One of the sets is operable via the included switch in the third pci case slot. (below the two used 290x case slots) The second set is not operable without opening the case. I will be modding this in the future though.
I just completed a mod to my M1 last night. I added one of the PCIe extenders (listed somewhere in this forum.. I forget where I saw it 
). It fit perfectly, with just enough room to mount it to the motherboard tray.
Now I have more clearance for cpu air coolers I ditched my H220, because it leaked on my Titan , and don't want it taking out my new Titan X. Currently have a Thermalright AXP140 on it, with Thermalright Venomous-X bolt thru mounting kit

Does using a PCIE riser effect performance in anyway?
Also whats the best place to buy shielded risers?

And no any effect to performance.

I have only 2.0 motherboard and there is working fine x16, no dropping. So I think that 3.0 work fine because that is supported.

Hi Necere, I have a question, 1. If i order through the website, through the air, it says it comes out to 240, I am paying with a pre paid card, is it anything over the 240 to southern california or is it exact.
2. this is for anybody, There is a ncase brand new in box near me, for 200, Is there a huge difference between v1 and v3?
Also if i order tonight, would i get it in 2 weeks?

That's a brilliant solution!
1. Should be the exact amount
2. Changes are listed here, nothing major
3. Probably a bit longer than 2 weeks if you order now. W360 plans to ship the next batch sometime next week, and then 7-14 days maybe. The time it takes to get through customs can be unpredictable.
W360 handles orders, not me, so I don't know about every situation that arises. Having said that, I haven't heard of any problems with customs for US orders.
Thanks! Credit goes to CyberShot for testing it in the M1 first. I just happen to mount my riser to the case, and take some pics of the process.
If anyone is interested in mounting it the same, you'll need 8mm standoffs. I chose these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AQTWYUY since there isn't much space on the between the back of the motherboard tray and side panel, and you'll need low profile M3 screws for that side.

Just a suggestion, but if you are going to quote 3 pages worth of scrolling without referencing to the images, please don't quote the images or use spoiler tags:
[?spoiler="images"] image 1, image 2, whatnot [?/spoiler]
(without the ?-sign)
It makes it much more confusing to read.
yes, it will fit.

So sorry about that- Will keep that in mind. Thanks!

How did you connect the standoffs? Did you just drill some holes and stuck some small screws in?
How much room is there? Because this makes me lust after a SFX-L or fullsize ATX PSU.

Does it really have to be an 11cm long ribbon though? It does seem like a 5cm or 7cm long ribbon should be just long enough.I just completed a mod to my M1 last night. I added one of the PCIe extenders (listed somewhere in this forum.. I forget where I saw it
I'm thinking of getting one myself, just not sure that length is necessary, and they have more length options. What do you think?
P.S. - BTW you can order from Ameri-Rack directly, they're quite nice and ship worldwide. I did before, wasn't disappointed. Probably cheaper than ebay resellers, too.

I don't think so... I explored the possibility for quite some time, but it's pretty iffy. You'd need a 140 mm ATX PSU like the Silverstone S12-G 750w, which leaves you just the space above the CPU/HSF to mount the radiator. Plus you'll be dealing with non-modular PSU cables, not to mention dissipating a LOT of heat in a very small space.
I still think about it now and then, but it just seems more difficult than it's probably worth. The Titan Z would be a better solution, if it wasn't ludicrously overpriced.

Funny, because I have that exact PSU in another build...
Someone has offered me a nearly new 295X2 at a good price, I'm willing to modify the PSU cables to help with the cable management if need be.
I think it's worth a go, at the very worst it doesn't work and I can just put it in the other bigger case where the S12-G already resides.
