Why do you do this to me @Wahaha360? I pledged on your M1 on Kickstarter and build a system, then pledged DAN Case A4-SFX and build my next system, then moved back to M1 due to cooling (didn't like 3700X on air), followed religiously your FormD T1 but chose not to buy due to time constraints and now you do this?! OK, subscribed to this thread...

Oh I’m excited for this. I have an m1 and haven’t had a desire to move out of it till now.
One question for the O1-EATX: is it possible that you could make it rackmounted?

Does anyone know the external dimensions of the M1EVO?
I do not see it in first post. At this stage (ie when everything seems ready except the fixing of the side mesh panel), I imagine the case size has to be finalized.
If there is a full spec, please post here. I do not have Discord account.
Thanks.

Afaik, supports all 4090 GPUs either via direct insert or via PCIe Riser, except the following:
- XLR8 Gaming UPRISING EPIC-X RGB Triple Fan (365mm length is too long)

2023-04-10: M1EVO ready!​

M1EVO is production ready. We are preparing to launch this month. This is contingent on our supply chain's capacity to fulfill outstanding FormD T1 orders.

We are also in sync with YouTubers for review and plan to ship some units to members of SFF Gurus before others to collect feedback.


From left to right, M1 Classic, M1EVO Angled, M1EVO Round. Also added FormD T1 V2.0 Silver for size reference.

There have been a lot of questions about triple rad setups in Discord, so here is what I would recommend, but YMMV:
mITX mobo + SFX-L + WC GPUmATX mobo + SFX-L + WC GPU (sensitive to MoBo RAM height)
1. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 240 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x151. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 240 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x15
2. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 280 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P14 Slim / Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x152. Top or Bottom: Alphacool 240 ST20 / XSPC TX240 + Arctic P12 Slim / Noctua A12x15
3. Side: most 280 RAD up to 45mm thick with 30mm thick fans.3. Side: most 240 RAD up to 45mm thick with 30mm thick fans.
Tubing and cables are going to be very, very difficult. This type of setup is NOT for beginners or intermediaries. This is guru territory. Before attempting this, please try mATX Mobo + ATX PSU + dual 240mm RAD as a transition challenge.
Given the difficulty, I am debating whether I should even include this in the spec sheet.

@Wahaha360 Could you please list the dimensions, compatibility, etc. Or point where we can find that information. I couldn't find it on the ncase site.

I'm updating the website this week, so it will be on the website.

There are numerous configurations possible, so it's my third attempt to write up the specs, it's just so much not sure how to condense.

Would it be possible to elaborate on the dual 240mm RAD constraints? Are these the same as the triple radiator, or is there more room for a standard single top/bottom radiator & fans?

Pains me but I much prefer the O-ATX front panel. I badly want to begin a new build so the M1EVO launch is tempting.
Will at least look forward to seeing everyone's builds ahead of the O-ATX launch

Does anybody know of any YouTubers who have received and reviewed the case?

If there is one, it will be posted here. You can bet on it.

Are you trying to compare the M1EVO with the Dan C4-SFX?

but note that it is a fair bit cheaper than SS135 so IMO still worth it p/p wise
Fair enough. Though, there's also the seemingly excessive amount of heatpipes for this cooler class. For example, Noctua's only cooler with seven heatpipes (the NH-U12A) is intended to be used with two high-pressure fans — a single-tower model at that! What's more, the SLIM appears to be but a shortened version of the SE-207-XT ADVANCED, which ships with two fans as well. So I'd rather bet (a bit more) money on the Silver Soul 135.
