Help launch a new case!

For those who dont visit [H] too often, they guys over there have designed a new case called the NCASE M1.

It looks pretty tasty with a very well thought out interior.
Any who there is an Indiegogo for it to get sorted here:

Apologies mods if linking to that is not allowed but this case must see the light of day.

Its nice to see the SFF community coming together to thrash out ideas for a really good layout gaming ITX case (those who still think that the Big Fenix is SFF are provably wrong). So vote with your wallets peoples!

Hereafter follows many awesome pictures:

Im liking the idea of this with a Corsair H100 along with my current set up. Ok so its a little bigger than my SG05 but the extra cooling will help keep my 2500K going a bit longer as I eke out the MHz.

Really love the ODD placement too. Pure genius.

With a mini-DTX motherboard, dedicated sound card and a beefy dual GPU card, it's going to be a little beast.

Agreed but

Pity there aren't any decent Mini DTX boards out there.

Which is a shame....ish. When you look at cases on the market the "DTX" ones only have two slots so as soon as you put a decent GPU in there is no point in the extra pci-e slot on the board and the only other cases with more than 2 expansion slots are mATX so you may as well get an mATX board. Would love to see more of this kind of case and a move from ITX to DTX. I could have sworn the guys over at Losias were working on a community designed 1155 DTX board for gaming/OC.

I want one

anything similar available now?

Not that I'm aware of. SG05 is nice as is the SG07/8 but nothing really comes close to this level of flexibility as of yet.

Same boat. Its a great case and pretty much the case I have always been searching for but the price is just too damn high. Maybe if Lian-li nab the idea and run with it we will see a lower price but at this moment in time I will stick with my SG05.
