Sure, I assume this is what you're wanting?
*pic*
If you don't need to mount any 2.5" drives to the front side of the frame you can shift the PSU mounting hole 3.5mm forward (which is why there's a slot instead of a hole).
The survey is still open for the custom bracket to better fit SFX-L in the M1 if anyone's interested: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1041460223&postcount=15800
Not panels but i've gotten car parts powdercoated and anodizing. I prefer the brush/machine finish better tho.Anyone have any experience with anodizing the panels? Is it possible to get as nice of a finish using powder coating?
Anyone going to take the plunge and buy the Titan X?
Sounds like a smelly room
I am sure it would work just fine, but since the air blown into it is hotter, it would probably be worth checking out results having the PSU the other way around and the HDD cage where it is meant to go first before getting the AIO.
Also, you could always try to see how bad things get if you put the HDD on the bottom under the GPU. No harm in trying.
If all else fails - AIO
I have the sfx and bracket measurements, just needed one to figure out how they are in relation to each other. The red line is that from the "inside" of the side? or something else, and what's the "thickness" of the material (unless red is from outside) ?
I assumed you scraped the idea of the bracket, that's why I thought I'd make my own.
Found someone to do it in a smaller quantity?
1.) The HDD cage will fit on the rear half of the fan bracket and aside from limiting CPU cooler height (to about 75mm with one drive) it doesn't conflict with anything (pic with two cages); 2.) The fan bracket does fit with an ATX PSU mounted.
Not sure where you read that, but the V3 SFX brackets won't be produced again until and unless there's another M1 production run. Lian Li requires a 1,000 unit minimum order for a small part like that by itself, which makes it unfeasible to do. If we attach it to a production run, it's no problem to make a couple hundred extra.Read somewhere that V3 brackets will be available in a couple of months, got any more info about that?

The search function is your friend--found in less than 10 seconds. Just searched "nzxt", was the second or third result.
Well if it's any consolation, I just filled in the form.Ah, forgot about that, you'll want to add 1.07mm to both the X and Z measurements.
I'll leave the survey up for a few more weeks but if there isn't a big influx of interest I'll probably drop the project.
Just got put my M1 PC together. Was much more simple than I anticipated, as packed as it appears when it's done, I never felt all that cramped or frustrated putting it together. This case lives up to the hype.
Only issue was using the SFX-L PSU and fitting the 970 behind it, I had to bow the board a bit to get by the cables, but I was anticipating this.
2 noctua 120mm x 25mm fans bolted on a 38mm radiator will not fit. At least if you are using a swiftech pump/cpu cooler combo.
Hi. So just in case anyone is wondering.
2 noctua 120mm x 25mm fans bolted on a 38mm radiator will not fit. At least if you are using a swiftech pump/cpu cooler combo.
Just wanted to inform you incase anyone of you are as dumb as me and fail at measurements and basic math. Works with one fan though so I got that going for me.

All of the rad+2x fan setups, including H220 I've seen seems to fit snugly. Which component inside the case is blocking the fan+radiator from being fit in?
There are adhesives strips that attach to the case, and the filters attach magnetically to those. The strips themselves aren't meant to be removed.What are people's experience with the Demciflex filters? I thought it was a great idea having magnetic filters, but then these don't work with aluminium. Instead there is some kind of adhesive on them... Won't the adhesive wear out? Can it be conveniently replaced when needed?
I see, thanks for clearing that up. It's not a super convenient solution, if you ever need to remove them due to different airflow configuration or so, I guess.
Have you ever been proud of something but ashamed at the same time? Kinda how I feel now.
I made it all fit. The 38mm radiator with the 25 mm fans. Have some pictures of my ghetto build.

I don't think it could be any tighter. The fans are pushing on the switftech apogee pump making the motherboard bend slightly. But it boots, and it is dead quiet* idling at 40 degrees celcius. Would love some feedback both good and if you are horrified and want to tell me how ashamed I should be.
Also there is a screw stuck in one of the holes that I had to drill the head of.
*as quiet as you get with no sound dampening material.
The gpu is not watercooled (yet) and is not plugged in as of this moment just in case it starts leaking overnight. But it should be trivial adding watercooling to the gpu if I ever want to do that.
edit: Aaaaand apparently I don't have room for dust filters.
I had the same radiator and pump/block combo in my M1v1 build, but with the pump rotated 90 degrees (with VLP RAM), and corsair fans. I still had similar issues with the fan pushing on the fitting and pump, but I fixed it by using a rotary tool to cut away the part of the fan chassis hitting the pump... it doesn't need to be much.
Nice one. It's good to see the Gainward is as short as I thought it would be. Might even convince me to go for an air cooled setup.

I could do that, but the fans were kinda expensive and I don't have a tool like that anyway. It ran fine all night so I'm going leave it like it is. If it breaks I have a good reason to abandon watercooling for good. It is not for me I think. Kinda fun to "plan" and build but too much of a pain in the ass to maintain.
This has been my experience as well when I used them on my aluminum Caselabs SMA8. VERY annoying. I wanted to put the filters on the inside of the panel to avoid having the ugly magnetic strip on the outside. Unfortunately the slack is an issue and the magnets are too weak to let the filter stick to the outside through the panel. I don't know if this would be possible on the M1 where the panels are a little bit thinner.My experience was that the mesh itself has a bit of slack that led to the mesh getting pulled into the fan blades a bit. Nothing that would impede the fan from turning, but it does create additional noise. I never got around to swapping it so that it would go filter -> rad -> fan, that may have solved the issue over going filter -> fan -> rad
It's well worth it and you've come a long way already!
I wouldn't feel very comfortable with the motherboard PCB being stressed by the radiator pushing on the Apogee Drive ii, so I'd probably swap out the radiator to a thinner one. It might seem like a setback but that's all it should be. By now you should be a pro at tightening the fittings right?
And I would also say why not get that waterblock... the fewer times you have to mess with the loop the better, as you've already experienced the fun of a leak.
Thank you, that helps numb the pain in my fingers.
My fingers are scarred from the sharp edges of the case, fittings and radiator.
But I am a very lazy person so I might just pretend everything is fine.
My fingers are scarred from the sharp edges of the case, fittings and radiator. I also always get the watercooling liquid all over my hands. And it's black so I look dirty even after scrubbing for days.
Oh I will get the waterblock. It's just that they are expensive and difficult to find for the Zotac 970GTX.
Hahaha, that brings back memories of my M1 build...sore fingers for days
