Sure thing! I actually found another article about NGFF stating that although the 1st generation will be limited to 500MB/s, it should have a lower latency compared to standard SATA SSD. So I'm thinking both current 2.5" SSD and 1st-gen NGFF should be comparable. Was gonna post a link to the article last night, but [H] was down..

As for the Asus 670 Mini.. if the card is too high and doesn't fit, I really don't see any way of making it fit, short of cutting out a slot in the side of the M1, which would look nasty. Unless I can come across some better referenced dimensions, or Necere has any feedback on this card's fitment in the M1, I'm gonna pass.
And for the PSU.. personally I would be happiest with a 600W short ATX & short cable set, but since I'm planning on using the 3.5" HDD rack, I'm going with the 450W SFX instead. Though it would be sweet if the planets aligned and Tony @Silverstone announced an SFX with a little more headroom in the next few months =)
Thanks for the info AFD! I was a little disappointed about the ngff ssd's being limited to 500mb. I have the same plan with the SS 450w and second your request for a higher wattage sfx psu . Great job with the 450w Gold and fixing it's noise issue in the rev.2.0's Tony and Silverstone! I would chalk up the 670mini, there really is no point of going back a step when we have the 700 series. I do share your concerns with power usage because I plan on putting a 4770k and a gtx 780 reference in my M1. Hopefully no problems arise but i did a power usage estimate with a overclock to 4.5 and came up to 526w! Without the OC it was 498w. This is a little concerning but I have heard of people using a titan/4770k succsufully so maybe the power usage estimator has a buffer. I sure hope I don't get this put together to find I need a Atx powersupply and a shorter pcb graphics card to fit it.
Note: I had the CPU usage at 100% on the estimate.
