How about that in between solution: Internal AC-DC paired with a pico? Oh well, there will be a time (and thread?) for that...
Completed The MI-6 Microtower Case: Performance in 6.7L

+1.
I don't want to travel with my PC but forget to bring my power brick
. I guess I'm more of that old-school users who are used with power supply as a component in the PC itself. That's why I like this case so much
I am of the same opinion, one of the selling points of this case for me is the SFX PSU support. I already have both the SF450 and SF600, they both are extremely quiet and work very well.
Yes please I have like 4 SFX PSU's and i would love not having an external brick dont change the layout.
This pico talk turned into into something it wasn't.. How about we leave it till the day it gets it's own thread?

@firewolfy in the latest renders you've gotten the surface texture to look like brushed anodized alu. I don't remember if we discussed surface texture earlier? In your description in the OP you don't mention any texture treatment.. If I get a say, I'd prefer a kind of matte finish instead of the brushed look. (I guess any kind of shot blasting goes well with anodizing)

I would say go bead/sand blasted, then anodized, for that MacBook Pro look...
Hmm, yes I didn't include "brushed" in the page 1 info. That is an oversight on my part. The case exteriors will all be vertically fine brushed then black anodized. I mentioned brushing in the threads this summer, but you would have to hunt it down.
Sorry about that. I'll be getting the prototype parts with the production-intent brush anodized finish and will post lots of pics.

Getting good results on renders of surface finish has been tough. The brushed look is typically barely there or looks way too coarse.
@firewolfy kind of a weird request, but if you have a Ncase M1 would you be able to take pictures of your case next to it?
Sorry bro, I don't have a M1. The closest I have around here to compare to is a Dell "mid" tower as they call it.
I'll try to do a quick model of the outside envelope for comparison...
Okay, that should give me a good idea of the size difference. I know yours is nearly half the volume but it's hard for me to envision that without actually seeing it.
Cardboard is an excellent medium for a bounding box type of comparison...
Here are some quick comparisons of the MI-6 to the NCase M1-

And of course there is always this--
Is it just me or the slanted / angled front side makes the M1 look slimmer than it actually is.
