https://www.ncases.com/ Looks interesting for mitx build
Ah I didn't know I will take a look.
Very cool case indeed, I've kept an eye on the 2nd hand market, but they're hard to come by.
The cost, once you factor in shipping and fees makes it quite expensive as well
Using the calculator linked on that website, the total cost of importing the black version of this with the ODD to the UK is ~£200, for anyone wondering.
Looks a great case but too pricey for me.
I've heard it best to stay away from ATX power supply in such a small case. See the review here and jump to the assembly part: http://glob3trotters.com/portfolio/ncase-m1/
Personally I am waiting for the Silverstone SX 500 LG power supply, which will be released in two days. From what i've read its very quiet and designed for small form factor builds.
What motherboard were you thinking of getting?
Cool, thats the same mobo I was going to get. Cheapest place I've found it is scan for under £100.
Btw if you find a good place to get the SX500 post it here , I havent found anywhere that lists it as a product to be released yet.

I was thinking of getting a MSI Z97I Gaming AC mini itx. Yeah I was worried about noise coming from sfx psu but just looked that up sounds much better.
There are quite a few nice case ideas flying around on [H] but I believe the Ncase M1 was the only one that has been through the whole production process so far.
Aibohphobia's 17L mATX Case: Nova
Necere's Steam Machine ITX Case (Original Ncase M1 creator): No name yet
SaberPL's ITX Case: Unnamed again
Dondan's 6L ITX Case: A4
For those looking to use this case for a tiny gaming computer, you might want to look at the RVZ02, which has a capacity of 9.8L, compared to the 12.6L of the M1. I don't suppose it supports as much cooling, but it's certainly smaller. Plus it can support 'SFX-L' power supplies, which are just longer SFX power supplies, and have 120mm fans (i.e. they're quieter). It doesn't have 3 PCIe slots though, which I suppose will be an issue for one or two people
I have one of these (the most recent V5) and I'm just about to build a Skylake rig inside it. I was planning on posting some pics and a build log on Hexus, so if anyone has specific questions I'm happy to answer as best I can
EDIT: Not my day... thread resurrection batman - I read 2015 as 2016
