NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case

[IlllI]

I think if it does better than expected, there's the possibility of Lian Li turning it into one of their offered cases. I could be wrong though, so I'm jumping on the Indiegogo production campaign as soon as it opens.

I'd rather them set up their own company and get paid for their work and design ideas. Lian Li has already 'borrowed' one of the design ideas from them for some new cases already.

I wish I had a use for one of these. Been following it for a while and it really is nicely done.

Really? Link?

I contributed to the prototype campaign, but... *sigh*

I really don't need a new case, and I don't watercool...

Have fun you guys.

but here are some pics. basically some new cases coming out from lian li have that same/similar side bracket.

Huh, would you look at that.

*shakes head sadly*

Only 50 slots left to go.

What does that mean 50 more cases and your out of luck even though its got about 2 weeks left?

They said 600 is a soft cap for now. They have the option to add more if the demand is there and they feel like taking on the additional shipping load. However once the campaign is over, whatever the final number may be, thats it for this case.

That I got, well unless there was desire on both them and us for a second run. But it was the first I heard of a cut off, but I stopped tracking it on HardOCP for a while. Didn't wait for an answer though, I like the case enough that I will build a machine around it next year, so really I don't know why I was trying to be cautious. One on order for me.

 

[Topweasel]

errr. Well I thought it did, I submitted a credit transaction on Paypal (not using an account). Did it show up immediately on everyone elses end? It's not showing up on my Contributions either.

Edit: Did it again, last time i tried without logging in it took me to the homepage for Paypal, this time it redirected me back to the backer site with campaign info. I think I am good now.

 

[IlllI]

you should also get an email about it from indiegogo after you submitted. subject heading "Thanks for contributing to ‘NCASE M1 Mini-ITX PC case"

Now I'm wondering if I should stay with black or go silver. Everything I have it black right now, expect my case is aluminum with black plastic up the middle.
