Slotloading drives should have those, not the slots in front of them.

Some don't. My bluray drive doesn't though my current Silverstone bracket does.
Not much of an issue anyways. It's just bit of foam/felt.

Not yet. Last tracking update had it in customs in San Francisco yesterday.Did the prototype get delivered yet?
Problem is that different mobos have the sockets in different locations, and everyone may do their wire routing a little differently.I think it is VERY important that when this case goes into production. is have the length of the wires for IO's ports to be the exact length. maybe 1-2" slack.
Do you have any testimonials? I can't seem to find any information for this site. Seems sketchy to me, but I'm not on the design crew end.
I expect pictures in the next four seconds.

I'm about 90% sure it will fit fine. The dimensions on the card that I can find state that it's 4.8" tall, or 122mm. We have a total of 140mm to work with, so the GTX670 Mini leaves about 18mm for the PCIe power connectors.Necere:
With these pictures in mind, can you predict if the card could possibly still fit, concerning the 8-pin connector ?
Yes, the prototype was delivered today
First impressions:
- It's amazingly light. You can easily hold it up in the palm of your hand with little effort. Of course, with actual components installed it's a different story.
- Crisp. Both the cut of the panels and the way they snap firmly into place.
- Both the interior matte black paint and exterior brushed+anodized finished are quite nice. The painted parts almost feel like they're made of plastic, with how light they are in your hand - until you run your fingers on them or tap them, and they give a metallic ring.
- The aluminum has a bit of flex to it, and you could bend the panels and brackets pretty easily with your hands, but the chassis itself feels sturdy (though I wouldn't want to stand on it or anything).
- Cables are too long. Will have to see about changing that for production.
- Power button blends perfectly with the painted aluminum IO module cover. It has a very shallow push-in and positive clicking action.
So far I've test fit the PSU (ST45SF-G), motherboard (ECS mDTX), slim optical, 2.5" drives, 2 x 3.5" HDDs and Corsair H60 CLC on the fan bracket. Everything fits more or less as it should, so far. Have yet to connect the cables and power on though.
I'll try to post some pictures later, though they'll just be crappy cellphone pics. It needs a proper camera/lighting setup to really do it justice. This is primarily for mechanical evaluation, though, so. Glamour shots will come later.

ECS B75H2-D? Any opinions on the board? It caught my eye awhile back, and I kinda wanted to buy one just to show support for DTX but ECS spooks me as a company a bit...
Waiting patiently for PICS!
excellent
those are some seriously long cables (especially for the I/O)!
I bought a boatload of sleeving from MDPC-X for this case, because I KNOW I'll be cutting these cables down to within inches of the minimum length.i know right, ill say it again...IO wire length is crucial for this case. I know different boards may have different location ports and people may wire it differently.
but they can predict how people can arrange wiring OR even dictate how you should arrange them, and the different location ports from different boards aren't like 12" difference, probably 2" difference at most.
wiring length will be the death of this beautiful case, i can see people modding/cutting wires and making them shorter, especially wires from the PSU.
and look at the slack on the power cable, short that thing by 3 inches and it will be perfect
It's actually the H61H2-MV, which is Mini-DTX. It's a lower end board and lacks USB 3, but unfortunately it's the only socket 1155 mDTX board thus far released. The one you're talking about is regular DTX, which is as deep as a mATX board and won't fit in the M1.
Most cases have this problem, one way or another. I don't mind it that I can't use a certain very large USB plug on the right port.i am concerned that this might be a problem area http://i.imgur.com/lgmTVf2.jpg
b/c the panel is recessed and the usb port is so close to the metal edge, i'm kind of thinking it would be difficult to insert something with thicker/fatter usb plug.
I can't think of any useful and popular add-on that's something else than a USB-stick but is too large to fit. Most USB devices just have cables.people use usb ports for more than just usb sticks.

Ok now make the m-atx version
