Hello everyone!
At the very beginning of my thread, I must apologize to you that my english is not very good because I am a Chinese User of NCASE M1, actually I never thought to build a SFF System until I met the NCASE M1 on a Chinese Hardware Lover's Forum, and I thought this case is AMAZING! So since the last two months I've been planning to build an ITX PC, then I found this forum through Google, and viewed lots of thread about NCASE build. Finally I finished my NCASE M1 build in last few days, I can't wait to share with you my NCASE M1 build.
I. Parts
II. Assemble
1. Inside look
You can see the STRIX 1070 fits in the NCASE M1 and Almost no extra space, so it's very difficult to install the STRIX 1070, if you do that, you must be very carefully.
Up look, the H100i v2's pipes are very thick and hard, I had to try more installation location of the block to put the radiator into the case.
Looks great huh? I replaced the screws with inner hexagon screws and red washer for nice looking.
Also replaced the back screws.
3. Prop up the Graphics Card
Because the STRIX 1070 is very long and heavy, I thought I should use something to prop it up, but I didn't found any product fits this case and card, so I made a strut by myself with screw, washer and nut, put it between the card and bottom fan, looks not bad huh?
4. Dust Filter
I added dust filter at every air inlet, the case top and right side(mother board back side) filter I used the DemciFilter which a filter maker from South Africa, top filter is good, but there was a problem of side filter-----it's too thick to fit the case, I can't close the side chasis cover if I use this filter, so I abandoned the side filter and fix it, use the 3M double side tape to put it on the PSU air inlet.
There also had a problem with back 90mm fan, I can't find a perfect 90mm filter for it, so I DIY a filter, guess what the
materials? It's a silk stocking! Ha!
III. Desktop
I used a suspension bracket to place the NCASE M1, and put the Wi-Fi moving antennas on the bracket.
And this is my desk view.
That's all, this is my NCASE M1 build. Thank you for browsing this thread, have a nice day!
