The "Have you seen this new case?" Thread

[Slogan]

Thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread that keeps on top of the new cases that are coming to market. It definitely feels like a faster growing market segment these days and dropping a post in here is much easier than doing a thread for every single one.

It'll also hopefully bring some more eyes to cases that other people discover. Obviously if a case is super popular then it would probably be worth having its own dedicated thread but I feel this is a good catch-all for everything below that.

I'll start:

Recently discovered the NCase M2, which is an ITX/mATX chassis that allows 3 different internal layouts and support for ATX power supplies, as well as even the biggest air-cooled GPUs.

The Fractal Terra is nice but the wind turbulence noise from the CPU coolers is something that I keep reading about. The general consensus seems to be that it's something that people 'put up with' given the form factor but something slightly bigger, that avoids that, would be more appealing to me personally.

I was surprised to see the inclusion of Micro ATX compatibility in the M2 and it's definitely a huge plus, given the spiraling cost of ITX components.

New Lian Li Lancool 207. Fairly standard looking budget case but really interesting to see what they've done with the placement of fans below the GPU. They've moved the PSU to the front and embedded reverse fans into the shroud, so the GPU is getting more direct airflow both in general and closer to the actual core itself.

Motherboard has also been shifted down for greater radiator support above and because the PSU is where it is, it can only accommodate 2 x 140mms (RGB included) at the front.

I got a M2 in black on the way. Going to be either shifting my current build from my T1 into it or doing a new 7800X3D in it.

Nice choice. I think of all the cases in the premium end of the market, it's probably the one I would go for as well. What front did you go for?

Some nice cases above, I think £52 is the most I have ever spent on a case and that made me wince, hah.

It's a difficult one to balance. There's probably a correlation between how prominent the case is in your setup vs how much you're willing to spend. That was certainly my thinking when I bought my Ncase M1 a few years ago.
