These renders look great, I nearly pulled the trigger on an Ncase M1 for my first SFF build but the reference layout has caught my attention, might have to hold off until I can get my hands on one of these.2021-08-28: T1 V1.5 Update:
Waiting for anodizing on the prototype. Will reach out to Beta Testers once I finished testing.
For a second I thought that OptimumTech was going to be our first publicly-revealed v1.5 beta tester hahahah
OG T1 is a solid canvas for a methodical, general intro to building in the space-constraints of SFF content like this. Nice shout!
You can *still mount rear Vandal Power Switch if you choose to.
New version adds USB-C Front I/O mounting and USB-C Power Button to the side of the Front Panel. And yes, location swappable.
The radiator will fit, the problem is the fans.
For dual radiator setup, you will need two slim fans on *one of the radiator touching the Mesh Side Panel, where the TX240 with two thick 25mm fans will be next to the Top/Bottom Panel. You can’t get slim 140mm with 140mm fan mounting afaik - that’s the real challenge.
Titanium and Ash, this combo looks better because Titanium is a darker color.
Will there also be a front panel option without the USB-C port and power button? I’d personally prefer a clean look similar to v1.1
No, but we are trying to get USB-C port covers that match the outer finish to make it blend better.
Oh, fascinating! Do you have any experience with those Noctua 120-to-140mm fan adapters? I'm happy to try test fitting the 280 GTS I have on hand + 2x NF-A12x15 + 140 adapter on the side and compare it with the spare TX240 also on the shelf right now. Even got a couple of those Kaze 12mm fans on hand that could go in the mix! Just in case beta test batch hasn't been finalized yet
I'd be curious how these work with slim fans. Wouldn't the "pegs" need to be trimmed down as well to match the fans being attached?
That's precisely what I'm envisioning, too. TBH I haven't worked with them before but it looks like they're just structural elements. And we're certainly no strangers to filing down superfluous bits of Noctua plastic here in this thread, right

3D print the fan adapter.
WOW! It's HOT!2021-08-28: T1 V1.5 Update:

Loving that USB-C & power button on front panel. Since there are more GPU slot option, will there be more backplate for V1.5?2021-08-28: T1 V1.5 Update:

I've made a simple adapter for e.g. CRYORIG XT140 and similar fans - suitable for laser cutting (e.g. 0.5mm stainless steel) - drawings are here - feel free to use for your personal DIY projects

If I choose to install the rear anti-riot power switch, the front USB-C power button will be useless
You can use it as a reset switch. I have two buttons on the back of my T1, one for power (which is the premium button I bought after I got the case) and then the stock button that came with the case is a reset button. Comes in handy every once in a while.
Plus, if you put your case near a wall like I do, you won't be able to realistically use one of the sides of the case, so that's the side I would put the reset switch on, so I can have easy access to the type-c header. This is my current plan for when I get a v1.5 (Have a power button at the back, type-c header facing me, and then reset button on the other side)
Or, you can theoretically wire both buttons to the power button header on your motherboard, so either one of them can turn it on.

I like the minimalist style. The reset button is redundant for me, but I will consider your plan. After all, this is more reasonable.
