Also hoping for word on when the v2 will be available. Had to cancel my order from back when I had a spot due to life reasons, getting back to the point I can order again and might be seeing it as a blessing in disguise if I can get the v2 instead of the v1 I would have had.

Or just get that type of case if you need the space for the GPU. There are plenty of excellent vertical sandwich cases around, no real need to turn every case into the same thing.

Looking forward to seeing what they actually look like.

The PowerColor 6800 XT Red Dragon looks like it might fit into the M1 without too much issue. If nothing else it's the shortest AIB 6800 XT I've seen so far, based on my rough Photoshop comparison where it looks about the same length as a Strix 2080 Ti or TUF 3080...

I'm also thinking about taking a chance on the Sapphire Nitro+ 6800 XT. I was settled on the reference model, but after watching the cooler teardown of it on Gamers Nexus I'm not so sure (I don't like the cooler design).

Not sure I would want a card that's been used for mining, I'd settle for miners not buying new cards so other people get a chance at them.

I think what I'll do is spend my GPU money on the NCase M1, and in a year or so when I want to upgrade my main PC and probably move it to mITX from mATX, I'll put it in the M1 and take another look at the A30 for the second PC. It may also give them time to improve on the design.

Yeah, and this wouldn't be for my main PC either, but for my secondary PC that may see limited use in a hobby/gaming room. While the M1 is definitely the better case, I really like how the A30 looks with the right components in it, kind of like a showpiece while the M1 is more business. I'd...

Well, I was all set to buy this case (was eyeballing it before I saw the review), but when I'm looking at buying the case, accessories, fans, GPU cable, Flex PSU and then shipping ($40 for me) it comes out to almost as much as an NCase M1 (after shipping). Kinda hard to look at the A30 and say I...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that Li-Heat Riser Cable is only optional if I'm NOT planning on using my own GPU in the case, and instead running off the motherboard? (as in, If I want to run a dedicated GPU I need that cable)
