love that its got 5 pcie slots, this would be a great small case to have dual graphic cards in.
I still prefer the SG09/SG10 though. The cable management on the SG09/SG10 seems better, and the graphic card is flooded with air, my overclocked GTX780 runs around 65C with gpu usage around 90-99%.
Civ V on the W700 is just glorious.
I play at 1080, with everything at low, and it looks gorgeous and the touch screen controls are so intuitive.
Yes it throttles, but that throttling also equals great battery life. (I wish the throttling would stop when on AC power, but it doesn't)
Just found about this case, thought I'd share it.
Looks like a miniture CM 130 Elite.

looks like it'll be one hell of an oven.
You'll definitely need to mod that case in order to let your components breath.
but looks interesting.
Same oven as that A30 I tried to steer you away from. :)
Great build, loving the write up.
I'd suggest getting a better CPU cooler than the H80i, something like the NH-D14
here's an OCN members own comparison/review of the two:

Max Payne 3 was an awesome game, loved every minute of it, well worth the money.
pondering on whether to hit up Dishonoured.
Deus Ex was incredibly fun too.
great looking build, loved the write up.
Never knew about cooling the cpu from behind the mobo, I guess you'd need it on LGA2011 and 125w+ TDP's.
Great Job
Decided to refresh my SG09 with a GTX780, since I game on a 2560x1440 Korean monitor. This time I really put a lot of effort into cable management, it's quite time-consuming on such a small case, but love it nonetheless.
CPU:
i7 26000k @ 4.4ghz
CPU cooler:
Nocua NH-D14
Motherboard:
ASUS...
Thanks, pre-ordered.
Empire Total War was amazing, especially if you use "Darth Mod"
Loved the scale, massive battles, and empire building.
Rome 2 might drive me to upgrade to Haswell, if there is enough of a jump in performance from Sandy Bridge.
this is exactly what I was thinking this card would be great for (though even better if the top card was reference)

BF3 = great graphics, horrible interface, takes to long to find a game, only found on origin, launches off a browser.
Oh the great days of BF1942 online and LAN, now that was an insanely entertaining and fun game.
This is how I've set-up my fans after reading about it earlier, and I must say it's definitely helped drop my temps across the board, including my 3.5" hard drive behind the motherboard, which I was thinking might increase in temps.
Makes more sense, bottom fans as intakes, and top and rear...
Check out this motherboard, would totally suit the 3 slots of the N1 Case.
You could add a dedicated sound card / raid card, plus a dual slot video card all in an itx motherboard.
ECS H61H2-MV
can be found at newegg for only $40...
Should be fine, since this is from the silverstone manual.
"The SG09 supports power supply with depth of up to 204mm. The limitation of power supplies with modular cables is 180mm"
The metal bracket used to hold the fans onto the heatsink do indeed touch the GPU's backplate, but since it's a backplate and not the PCB I should be plenty fine. Been running fine for a while now.
The SG09 is the ultimate "air-cooled" matx case ever, I've managed to fit a triple slot cooler...
Here's my SG09 fitted with a Noctua NH-D14 and an Asus GTX680 DirectCU II (it has a triple slot cooler)
I placed my 2 SSD's in the space where the ODD was supposed to be, fit like a glove, and gives me the space behind the mobo to place a 3.5 inch HDD and lots of space to hide my cables.
I did...
I had a good time playing LOTR: WitN, though I'm a big LOTR fan, so if you're not, then it's an average game, though co-op is indeed lots of fun.
It's a game I played, once completed, deleted off the HDD, not something you come back for...... now I'm tempted to re-install it, (then I look at...
That's plenty of space for cables, make sure to have a CPU cut out so that people can change their CPU coolers without having to remove the whole motherboard from the case.
That looks great, great looking design.
My additions would be for it to be a tad wider, so that you have some space behind the motherboard where you can do cable management.
Would be unique, the only small SFF ITX case with cable management behind the motherboard, similar to the SG09, but ITX.
