it is prepared and willing. i have no hardware that fits in mitx right now but i need this. i just... i need it.
Will preorders be limited? Or just go until a set date, then production go until theres enough to fulfill the orders? I'm super stoked to order an M1 finally, but terrified I'll miss out if I'm working or busy when the preorders go live. I know previous batches have sold out within minutes before
I can't believe how far this case has gone since its inception.
It's been almost a year since the NCase started reaching users and even now. I've been using my case for almost that long, yet I am still here reading about the NCase and getting enthusiastic about round three!! I've built my case, yet I'm looking at what GPU options are up next. I'm still planning what I would be building GPU wise, and even though I know I won't be doing anything soon, I'm still planing my next build for this case each time every time something new comes up, or I discover something I haven't seen before. I think - Would that work for the NCase?
I am still intrigued by what this case can do for its size, and I am still in awe at how this case came to fruition and is still going strong, all while looking seriously good.
A HUGE thanks to Necere and Wahaha360 for getting this organised and carried though to the hands of what is now easily over a thousand enthusiasts.
Thank You!

That's awesome and you're welcome.I totally agree. I remember hearing about this case, but did not follow it closely until a few months ago. I had built several towers, at least one a year to keep my kid's gaming PCs up to snuff. Then last year I built a micro-ATX case (Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E) and thoroughly enjoyed that experience. Then I got the mini-ITX itch. I checked to see "whatever happened to that Kickstarter case" and found this massive thread. OMG. I researched a lot of mini-ITX cases, but when I decided to get the M1, I was too late. Mad for missing out, I found a Version 1 on eBay that was only slightly inflated. I would seriously consider buying a V3.
Heck, If you want to build a mini-ITX case, if the M1 is available (hopefully more consistently), why would you buy anything else? So stylish and yet so flexible, it's perfect for almost anybody. I just hope Lian Li doesn't start to feel too threatened and decide to stop building them.
A huge thanks to everyone, but especially Necere and Wahaha360!
You don't have to worry about missing it. Those were extras that sold out in a few minutes, and there were only around 50-60. We've done two production runs, and in both cases we had the pre-order period open for almost a full month. This time around we're actually ordering the production run before taking orders, and there should be enough to last at least a couple of months.Will preorders be limited?

ALSO: w360 tells me M1 orders will open up on our website on Friday, November 21st. Deliveries are scheduled to start in mid-December.
There's no room inside the case. It would block something anywhere you tried to put it.
Make sure to quote the post properly so people know what you're talking about. I had to go back ten pages to find itThe http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=210 (SG05) does it & it is very close in size, but not as deep.
My order with filters was posted by Demciflex late september but just recently reached the international hub in Johannesburg.
Anyone have a clue how long that postal strike was in South Africa? Perhaps im not the only one waiting for filters? Im in no rush though, just curious, still trying to figure out what graphics card to buy.

Noticed that Overclockers UK now have taken delivery of their special 970 with 980 PCB and 980 reference cooler, only drawback, it is just a £105 price difference towards the £980.

The bracket can only take 120mm fans. With the C14 you can use the included 140mm on top, but it's attached to the heatsink rather than the bracket, and there's not enough room for a 120mm fan on the bracket next to it.Hello -- I see people making recommendations for 140mm fans for the Noctua NH-C14. Does the case allow for two 140mm fans in the side panel? Single 140mm + 120mm?
I was going for two 120mm fans for the side panel (and maybe at the bottom) but now I'm a bit confused.
Tx!
Price should be the same as the V2, more or less. I don't know yet when exactly orders will be live.is the pricing confirmed on the V3? also what time does the preorder come live on Friday?

That board is a standard width (height?) mATX board, which don't fit - it's 244mm, while the entire M1 (without the feet) is only 240mm tall. There are some 3-slot mATX that can fit in the case, though. See this thread and the google docs spreadsheet. Basically, if the board has more than 3 slots, it's guaranteed not to fit. If it has 3 or less, it might fit, depending on the dimensions.Hi all, did someone try the MB of 24x19cm? Yesterday my friend just visited my home and see my V2. He likes it pretty much and asked me if P8H61-M can be installed inside. I'm not a PC HW expert so I'm not sure if the MB is correct but I'm sure the dimension he told is 24x19cm. Or how to make it possible? It seems my friend would like to order V3 and dn't want to upgrade HW

Hey guys, after reinstalling my graphics card, the fan is suddenly being blocked by the hard drive. Does anyone have a good trick for making the card sag less?

As a follow up to this, I did see this build, which has a Noctua NF-A15 installed alongside a regular 120mm Noctua. The NF-A15 is an interesting fan - it measures 140x150mm, but it has a rounded frame and the same mounting holes as a 120mm fan. The fans just fit together on the fan bracket:The bracket can only take 120mm fans.

I'm not sure how he made this, but IreK's friend Elder fab'd a nifty support bracket for propping up a reference 980 inside his M1..

Does anyone know were online those short custom PSU cables can be purchased? The link that Necere's posted has them link ?

It's more an OCD thing than necessary, but it does provide a bit of extra room in an otherwise cramped location if your card *is* sagging.
That bracket mounted Noctua NF-A15 is intriguing. Considering doing that. Still need to pull apart my rig and swap the orientation of my SX600-G to be inwards anyways - the chatter at idle is driving me insane.

So I tried this today with one of the NH-C14's fans and a 120mm fan, and while it does kind of fit, it's 1-2mm shy of being enough room. The result is that you can get them mounted together on the bracket, but the frame of the 140mm fan is forced to bend just a little, so it's a little more oval than round. It's not noticeable and it doesn't appear to affect the fan mechanically (I didn't power them on, but the blades spin freely), but because it's a bit of a squeeze it makes installation a little more difficult. That's probably even more true if the 140 fan has a square frame.What? I never even tried to fit the top 140 mm fan from my NH-C14 heatsink to the fan bracket. Are new holes needed to accommodate the 140 mm width of the NF-A15 fan in the photo? I know the NF-A15's mounting holes are the same as a 120 mm fan, but what about the extra 20 mm width of the fan itself?

lol, I was planning the opposite, ie swapping my SX600 so the fans face outward. Point being to draw in cold air from the outside instead of (in theory) taking in hot air from inside the case. I've never noticed any chatter from it though, just coil whine (disappears after it has been running for a bit). Who knows, if I suddenly start noticing chatter I might swap it around again. Come back in a year or so and we'll probably all still be swapping it around trying to find the optimal orientation.
