The good, bad, and ugly? NCASE M2 "GRATER" - SFF PC case

[@Yardo]

Love the approach you’re taking here with your channel. Just focusing on letting people know things that you wish someone had told you.

[@dcbyca]

Absolutely!!

[@Yardo]

@@dcbycahey man, I ended up ordering the case. I’m a bit confused though- you say that it doesn’t come w a fan bracket, but then later on in the video you have a list of what comes inside the box. Did you just order an extra fan bracket? Or does it really not even come with a single one? Because that sounds absurd.

[@dcbyca]

@ it comes with one, I ordered another one. I also recently got the glass panel too

[@kailron]

So how does the default look like when it comes to the io? Is there an awkward gap or is it nicely filled at least

[@hughsprague]

Thanks for posting this. I didn't even notice the missing front panel ports. Like you, I was attracted to the Grater because of more airflow potential. Decisions, decisions.😂

[@IamMotionMedia]

U can you always get a USB hub

[@ncase_official]

Thank you for your detailed review of our case! Looking forward to your upcoming videos! :)

[@ElKuku9999]

I ordered the round version and shipped about 2 days ago. There aren’t many build videos of the M2 so I’m looking forward to yours. Great video and you earned yourself a sub.

[@dcbyca]

@@ElKuku9999 thank you, yea most of the parts drop on the 24th of this month so many things to consider. Then I still have to wait for Nvidia to drop the new 50 series GPUs in January apparently. My wallet isn’t ready lol

[@IamMotionMedia]

FYI - they do tell you in the Spec list for the "Grater" that there is no front i/o. Though, not sure if that was there at the time of filming.

[@dcbyca]

@@IamMotionMedia since making these videos NCASE has definitely been on top of making things much clearer on their website. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was one of those changes, Good to know though

[@Kaiza989]

Great video! You shared a lot of the info I was having trouble finding on the M2

[@dcbyca]

thanks I'm glad I could help

[@ПружинкПружинк]

I like the way you speak. Intonations and tone of voice. Keep it up, following you. Waiting for new itx bulds

[@dcbyca]

thank you

[@MrGobaz]

Thanks for showing the case! I don't actually have a 3D printer, would getting this case be a bad idea then? Not being able to print the fan brackets for example?

[@dcbyca]

@@MrGobaz if you want the case it’s definitely worth it, it’s super flexible but I wanted as many layout option as possible and that’s why i bought the additional accessories. Not having a 3D printer is not a problem, and it would have added a low cost option of accessories for example the case feet without necessarily having to buy it. The M2 Round is a great options as well if you want to keep it under $200 Additionally, don’t forget they come with a radiator/fan bracket 0:35 for the top and/or side depending on what you put in there that might be enough. You can also put fans on the bottom panel. With cases like this planing and orientation is key. I hope this helps

[@kaeyrl]

That's awesome. Just researching for the grater case and found your channel. You are the only one who menitons that there is no front IO mount for the case. Where are we supposed to install the io then? Glad I found your video, keep it up :)

[@dcbyca]

Glad I could help, so you have to purchase it separately which is unfortunate. They claim it was to have a "sleeker design". The only way to use it after you get it assuming you have access to a 3D printer is with that Hybrid foot / front case IO file 3:03 which does have a cool look if you do decide to go for it. I do think it kind of takes away form the premium aspect of the case though. Additionally when you look up M2 IO on their website they have two versions $15-20, but it says in the description it's the parts that are actually for the M1evo which is why I haven't tried to get one yet. If you want front IO with the Sacrifice of ventilation, try the M2 split, M2 round, or M2 Angled Hope this helps.

[@kaeyrl]

@@dcbyca Thanks alot for the explaination :) Although I'm still wondering, where I'd turn the PC on without the on/off button xD

[@7EQH]

There is actually on off button in the rear panel you can see in the video 1:05

[@dcbyca]

@@kaeyrl it does come with the on/off switch, it's in the back check out at 1:05

[@kaeyrl]

Didn't even notice that, thanks :)

[@justdavid1849]

excellent video dude! I think it would have been great to put different sections, the good bad and ugly, like the title for example

[@dcbyca]

great idea

[@Snakepeaz-animation]

hello I am shakia's son I loved this video and I am now a subscriber, keep making more videos

[@dcbyca]

@@Snakepeaz-animation glad to hear, thank you for subscribing

[@misericorde360]

Great vid, thanks ! Thinking about getting this, or the nude case Modable Sys8. If you'd ever test this one, would be awesome :)

[@lolcatmaroon]

Where is the power button for the grater? In the case foot?

[@dcbyca]

@@lolcatmaroon at the back 1:06

[@00sra]

Is there a device thats similar in color and finish to the silver ncase m2? I like both the black and silver but cant decide.

[@dcbyca]

Similar would be the dan case c4 sfx v2 if it ever comes out. Finish wise they have these made at a new manufacturer that has this particular finish. If we are talking from Ncase similar would be M2 angled, m2 round, smaller ones they have a T1 Model.

[@Lenduya]

Shouldn't one radiator/fan bracket be included? If you got the radiator mount, shouldn't you have two?

[@dcbyca]

yes, there is one that is included but I got another one just to have cooling options for the side. It was a no-brainer since I was getting the feet and bracket for $20 off with the coupon they gave me for the shipping delay.

[@Lenduya]

@@dcbyca Good to know. I was just asking in case since you showed only one when I made the comment.

[@ryanjohnorris]

if you use an itx mobo, can you fit two 120mm fans on the top and bottom, & what about two 140s?

[@dcbyca]

I'm not to sure, when i get my hands on a ITX MB and start to build ill test it out, you can get away with slim fans most likely

[@tonylollis895]

Bro I ordered mine the same day and they haven’t offered me anything. It was supposed to ship on the 30th of last month and just shipped on the 13th or so. 😭

[@dcbyca]

Check your emails or on shop app, they gave you 3 options. Wait, Get refund, or change the model

[@Sabakoe737]

The gap btween the front and top panel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
