I just built in that case also and was experiencing some case envy watching this at first until I saw them side by side. This case a little too big for my needs/liking. My only real issue with my build is the panels bow out slightly on both sides. On one side it’s due to my fan duct and on the other it’s due to my graphics card. I could fix it with some work but I’m pretty sure if the side panels had some additional tabs at the front it wouldn’t be an issue.

I want to take a moment to appreciate NCase M1 as the pioneer of the SFF world Edit: I want to clarify some things in my comment reading others. Of course there was ITX systems before the M1, of course there are other great cases and brands in the SFF world (remember that ITX is not the same as SFF, a 30L case with a ITX MB is just a waste of space) But the Ncase M1 was an inspiration for many many of the current cases in the SFF world and it was (and it is) the most popular case and the best seller in the SFF probably When I think about SFF I think about the M1

I feel like Lian Li were the first ones to do the tiny rectangular monolith that everybody makes these days. The PC-Q25B back in 2011 was sort of the precursor to the M1. It's so similar that I wonder if the NCase/Lian Li partnership actually started earlier than we know.

Gorgeous case, intelligent layout. Will be a hit. That being said, I can't help but think about the SFF landscape in 2024. It's completely different now than it was when the M1 was dominant. Back then, the only good cases were the boutique ones that you paid 250 dollars and waited 6-8 months for. Now, there's a sea of "good enough" SFF cases that you can buy and get delivered in 2 days. I did the "buy and wait" thing for my FormD T1, and honestly I don't have the time and patience to do it again

I will finally upgrade to current gen ryzen x3d and build it in this case. I'm excited.

I have the previous version mentioned in the video (M1EVO v1.1), so things might be different on the M2, but it's not as flexible as it might seem - some configurations of components only fit in one way (for example, it would be very difficult to do mATX MB with 4090 vertical, as you are then limited to water cooled CPU with small limit on CPU block). But it definitely is versatile, and I hope the extra width in the case opens up more options. I currently have my M1 EVO configured in "classic M1" style, using a mATX board, SFX PSU, 7800x3d, air cooled, 4090 air cooled and I'm very happy with it, it really is the NCASE M1 successor.

I would really like a deep dive in how you would optimize your setup. So if you have a watercooler start with placing that and then depending on X place your motherboard in X spot away from the radiator. This way the case can actually be used in the most optimized way instead of having just a few rough but good layouts. Like if you want to optimize then you should follow a few set rules. Or maybe steps. One thing is for sure, having so much optimisation is only awesome if we know how we can take advantage of it. It's not just being able to fit everything. It's also fan clearance and gpu clearance. etc.

Great video! This case looks very interesting. I think the "holy grail of PC cases" is over the top, though. The main advantage of this case, compared to, for example, the FormD T1 or the NR200 (I have built PCs using both of those cases), is the fact it can take a micro ATX motherboard, whereas the other two I mentioned can only house mini ITX motherboards. The video made a big point of the fact that this case is able to house the largest GPU on the market (Asus ROG STRIX 4090?), whereas the T1 and NR200 can't. That is a good point, but I think that is missing the main point to some extent. Good video though, as always. This is by far one of the best channels on KZbin.

When I think back to when i first discovered itx and found the nr200p the option to use the cheaper matx board, cheaper full size psu while also being relatively cheaper compared to the current market will make it a pretty compelling choice for new pc builders or those looking to downsize. The cpu height is the only thing theyll have to concern themselves with. If new builders can get over the need to put an aio on underpowered parts with a glass side panel then this is a great case for sure.

Would love to see your full build guide for the M2, as you mentioned might be coming down the line! Specifically, I'm wondering if beefier cards NEED to be in the vertical orientation, or if they can be installed in flipped config as well - assuming the width / height fit in the case? Does vertical GPU allow better cooling for a bigger card?

I’m using a NR200 but wanted to upgrade from a 3080 to a 4080 super and luckily you used all the parts I currently have, now I know I can use this case exactly! Thanks for this!!

I was concerned with the QC issues that came about with previous versions of the NCASE M1 EVO. I ended up pre-ordering the Loque Ghost R1. From the spec sheet, that thing can even fit my NH-D15. Excited for that in October.

I just picked this up, it will not ship until 7/30/2024. I am so happy they finally gave it compatibility for 280 rads, I have been waiting for this for a very long time. I do not understand why manufacturers refuse to do this. Also be aware that if you have a 3d printer you can print the rad/fan adaptor. I do not understand why they don't do the same for the feet besides greed. I'm also happy the GPU doesn't have to be mounted using a riser cable. My lion li case had a bad cable and didn't figure it out until I did another build. I had months of random problems, drove me nuts.

one of the things i really like about my M1 classic is that the side and top panels use the same design venting (the holes) - However on the M1 Evo and the new M2 i find the different mesh on the top and sides to be quite disruptive to the overall design. the Grater introduces a third "mesh" vent design which is even more jarring to look at

You convinced me! Great video. I have this on order now, it arrives next month. Do you know when you will do a build video? I'm thinking 280mm rad at the top and whatever gfx I buy side mounted via the riser kit, but want to see what you come up with as well.

Really looking forward to your build video(s) for the M2, particularly the ones without a riser cable (I just prefer the direct connection to the MB). Given its versatility, can this case house an m-ATX board? Great to see another good case from this manufacturer. 👍

Love the Ncase still have my m1 v6.1 I don’t need to upgrade since I’m running a 3060ti but after seeing these I want one. Only other case I really liked was the T1 and loved that you mentioned it on this video those are the top best cases honestly.

I’m an M1 v5 owner and love my M1, but as nice as this case is, I wish they’d kept the distinctive front look of the M1 “notch”. That was their iconic look in a sea of copycats. For me, I’m still leaning Fractal Terra for my next build but if the M2 had another colour option and brought back the notch I’d be way more tempted.

Cons: 1. "The power button cable is too short, but it will be increased in length in the future" - ok, fair point. 2. "The manual will likely suck for this, though I don't have it myself yet" HUH? Why assume that when the company clearly cares about quality. 3. "The last con is the price, it's so competitively priced that it might not be possible to get one" another assumption, and a weird way to spin a positive into a con. So the only con it really has is that the cable is a little short, which they're fixing...

Be aware! The case on the video is not actually what you will get. I got my recently and here are top differences: 1. Face panel is missing holes at the top for "flipped" installation. It is not possible to install in with USB ports up. 2. Cooler grid is low quality, powder coated. Not CNC. 3. Raiser cable is also cheap. 4. One USB-c port is missing (replaced with led). 5. Case is not properly aligned, you can put your finger nail where the top panel is connected with the face panel (or maybe I was not lucky enough). Overall impression - it's a nice case to have, but way way over-hyped! @optimum, I think you may need to adjust your review based on actual cases people get, not promotion one you have.
