Yeah good point, also shouldn't be a dust filter on the top too? Isn't gravity going to pull most of the dust through the top of the case?

New revision of Ncase M1, when?
- Thread starter Nitpicky
- Start date
I use a this filter for that purpose: https://www.demcifilter.com/demciflex-magnetic-dust-filter-for-ncase-m1-top-dust-filter
From earlier in this thread, the no front I/O version should be late July or early August, and the front I/O version should be about two months behind.
I actually like this a lot; will V5 owners be able to order and use this new no-front I/O panel? And will V5 owners be able to add the new ventilated panels to their case?
I don't know yet what parts will be available through SFFLab, though it will be backward compatible.

Nope. Personally I feel like anti-vandal switches look a bit too "aftermarket" to put on a production case. I prefer a button that looks more integrated, which the current one does.
That's the plan.
1x Type C, 2x Type A, 1x mic/headphone combo jack for V6.
To be honest, I don't understand why you remove a more frequently used feature (every headset on the market has separate audio and mic connectors) for three USB front ports. Who needs three USB front ports at the same time on his PC? Can't it be 1x Type C, 1x Type A and separate mic and headphone jack like before? Sure, there's probably an adapter available, but it feels crazy to use an adapter for something I connect frequently, while having three hardly used USB ports right next to it. I'm sure more people use the audio ports instead of three front USB at the same time.
Why isn't this change more discussed? Or am I missing something?
I disagree, don’t use the audio inputs at all but use the USB ports all the time.
Also, note you could get a USB converter for under 10$:

At this point I am pretty sure @Necere is done with the design phase, v6 is what it is, its a product with positives and negatives, there is no way to design a product that fulfills every need, because some needs clash. At this point, I just want the case to come out, so I can build my PC. I have all my parts sitting on a table at home, and am using a secondary system. So the less delays, modifications that need to be made the better, let the C4 forum be an example, where the design was changed dozens of times based on people's inputs, only to not release anything thus far.

Personally I use the front Type A ports all the time. I don't have a use for Type C yet, but I guess there's enough people that do. I don't use the audio jacks at all, since I use Bluetooth headphones most of the time and have a desktop mic.
In any case, a simple splitter cable is all you need to connect your headset to the combo jack. It's always a trade off with SFF, but I think this is the best compromise for most people.
Careful with such things, the adapter replaces your sound card, which means a neat loss in audio quality. Really not to be recommended, unless the headphones costed just as little.
Here's an analog adapter that lets you plug separate headphone and microphone cables into the V6 combo audio port: Amazon link
I'll discuss it with w360 as we get closer to production and have a better idea what the timeline looks like.
