@@hoppel9177 what if you want to do comparative testing? It's good to have an inventory of cases you have reviewed before. Good thing the focus of this channel is SFF cases 😅
This channel is basically the sole reason I went SFF for my system, extremely happy with my FormD T1 V2. Seeing the return of the Ncase is refreshing given it was some of the first content of yours I watched.
I just built in that case also and was experiencing some case envy watching this at first until I saw them side by side. This case a little too big for my needs/liking. My only real issue with my build is the panels bow out slightly on both sides. On one side it’s due to my fan duct and on the other it’s due to my graphics card. I could fix it with some work but I’m pretty sure if the side panels had some additional tabs at the front it wouldn’t be an issue.
I'm the happy owner of an M1 for 10 years - still using it for my gaming PC. Was not going to change (even if I would like to upgrade the GPU). Now I finally can !!!!!
I want to take a moment to appreciate NCase M1 as the pioneer of the SFF world Edit: I want to clarify some things in my comment reading others. Of course there was ITX systems before the M1, of course there are other great cases and brands in the SFF world (remember that ITX is not the same as SFF, a 30L case with a ITX MB is just a waste of space) But the Ncase M1 was an inspiration for many many of the current cases in the SFF world and it was (and it is) the most popular case and the best seller in the SFF probably When I think about SFF I think about the M1
I feel like Lian Li were the first ones to do the tiny rectangular monolith that everybody makes these days. The PC-Q25B back in 2011 was sort of the precursor to the M1. It's so similar that I wonder if the NCase/Lian Li partnership actually started earlier than we know.
Gorgeous case, intelligent layout. Will be a hit. That being said, I can't help but think about the SFF landscape in 2024. It's completely different now than it was when the M1 was dominant. Back then, the only good cases were the boutique ones that you paid 250 dollars and waited 6-8 months for. Now, there's a sea of "good enough" SFF cases that you can buy and get delivered in 2 days. I did the "buy and wait" thing for my FormD T1, and honestly I don't have the time and patience to do it again
Well, don't worry, in a few months new 5000 series will drop and you will get something more powerful and hopefully more efficient and smaller for a lower price (but probably not as low price as they should be).
I respect the challenge in fitting as much performance as possible into as little space as possible. I don’t do that myself, but I enjoy watching your journey.
Hopefully you already know this, but NCASE now has this video embedded in their website as promotion for the new case. I really hope they asked for your permission first!

This is so clean and functional... I have always thought the massive cases with all the dead space and all the silly rgb lights looks kid ish. Plus they're just so damn big.
As someone who loves making custom panels for my PCs, what I already love about this case (haven't finished the video) is how easy it looks to repaint without having to de-rivet certain portions.
If you used a 4080 FE or 4090 FE water cooled so it is only 206mm & moved the sandwich board up, you could add dual rads top & bottom with the CPU & GPU water cooled, but you will need to cut/tap some new threads.
I can't wait to see your full build in this case. I just ordered the black colorway. I've owned the M1 v6, and I was an early adopter of the M1EVO and while I really liked it at the time (I still do honestly), and it did feel like a natural evolution of the OG case, it really wasn't at the level that I expected if that makes sense. I will finally upgrade to current gen ryzen x3d and build it in this case. I'm excited.
I pulled the trigger on this, so excited for it to ship. I've been drooling over it for months and after transplanting my build from the Louqe RAW S1 back into the NR200 due to thermal reasons, i'm excited for the M2 to get here.
I've been running AM4 in an InWin 905 for a number of years now and absolutely love the finish on it. I've been waiting for a SFF to come out with a similar finish to wow me, I think that M2 Grater model just did. Thanks Ali!
for me its actualy the price, yeah 170 is not cheap but 25% cheaper than what any other worthy competitor has on the market. 4x usb front-io also best i have seen so far.
Just finished building in the M1 evo - 4090FE, 7950x3d, AIO. It chews through any thing and runs any game on EPIC settings. Paired with the new Asus 32" OLED and its the most insane rig ive used with a tiny footprint.
Great video as always. I am looking forward to your builds in this. Curious if thermal performance favors the vertical mount (w/ 4090 and 7800X3D 280 rad) vs inverted configuration (same 4090 and D15L, or same 7800X3D 280 rad). Also, where do the front I/O ports go on the Grater front panel?
@optimum; I got the ncase M1 off of your reviews, I got it in early 2020, just before the pandemic. And I've loved it for four years. It's perfect. This M2 looks fantastic!
I'm still running my original DAN A4 v1 case from the first production run. I love that it sparked a whole market segment of beautifully compact and efficient cases.
I’m the type that slowly saves money and pieces my build together over a year or 2. This looks like the perfect addition for whenever the 50 series cards drop (hopefully this fall)
Would be very cool to see a build in this with a matx mobo and atx psu. For those who want to downsize without rebuying everything 😅. Maybe even compare it side by side with the Meshroom D that allows matx board and atx psus with an extender bracket.
Would love the same video! At the same time, it's kinda sad that GPUs have gotten so big that a case that can fit almost all of them is defacto big enough for mATX now. I mean, that's cool, don't get me wrong. Just feels weird 😅 (Now, at 16L, where should I save it? In my list of ITX or mATX cases?)
I have the previous version mentioned in the video (M1EVO v1.1), so things might be different on the M2, but it's not as flexible as it might seem - some configurations of components only fit in one way (for example, it would be very difficult to do mATX MB with 4090 vertical, as you are then limited to water cooled CPU with small limit on CPU block). But it definitely is versatile, and I hope the extra width in the case opens up more options. I currently have my M1 EVO configured in "classic M1" style, using a mATX board, SFX PSU, 7800x3d, air cooled, 4090 air cooled and I'm very happy with it, it really is the NCASE M1 successor.
@@mickaelsflow6774 16L is still very small. Especially compared to the Hyte y40 my pc is in rn. 50L down to 16L is a massive difference. I would say anything 20L or more is considered matx
I’m using a NR200 but wanted to upgrade from a 3080 to a 4080 super and luckily you used all the parts I currently have, now I know I can use this case exactly! Thanks for this!!
Looks really good, love how premium some of the SFF cases look. After following this channel for some time, this year I finally decided to try an SFF case and built in a FormD T1 with my strix 3080 (barely fits haha) and 12700k with an AIO and I've got to say I really enjoyed it and I love how it looks on my desk vs my old case. I also found it a lot of fun to work with as it there was some definite problem solving involved and relying on the community who were all very helpful.
Great video! This case looks very interesting. I think the "holy grail of PC cases" is over the top, though. The main advantage of this case, compared to, for example, the FormD T1 or the NR200 (I have built PCs using both of those cases), is the fact it can take a micro ATX motherboard, whereas the other two I mentioned can only house mini ITX motherboards. The video made a big point of the fact that this case is able to house the largest GPU on the market (Asus ROG STRIX 4090?), whereas the T1 and NR200 can't. That is a good point, but I think that is missing the main point to some extent. Good video though, as always. This is by far one of the best channels on TH-cam.
This seems to be the future proof case, when I'm gonna switch back to building itx PC's again. I've got 2 ridges, 1 with an itx board and the other with a mini dtx. For what I can see, I could switch my current dtx build to this case. You've got me interested again in coming back for building in these small cases. And I'm also looking forward to hear more of your Collab with wooting for the 60he(+) case 🎉
Thank you for the video! The M2 is beautiful and it's great to see the price coming down compared to the days of the M1. Love how versatile the case can get with all the possible configurations. Looking forward to your other build videos with the M2. Cheers!
Ncase M1 was what got me into SFF so will always love that case, these days I am running a NR200 but I am excited for the Ncase FF1 the most (if/when it eventually releases).
Perfect timing on this, as I've been rocking the M1 for like 8 years, but will need something bigger for the 5080 when that comes. Nothing out there has hit the spot for me, but this looks like it will for my planned air build. Can't wait to see your build guide, and I'll wait for the second release.
day by day you prove to us you are a genius, your videos are just from an other universe, I really love your content, I loved the tech hardware industery, and I dedicated a lot of time for it, I enjoy every video talking about hardware, and I wish one day I could be as good as you, Keep shining
Ive got my 4070 and 5800x3d. Undervolted and frame capped to 120. Total system power is around 200-250 watts while gaming 35-50c. Its in the lian-li dan case.
I just picked this up, it will not ship until 7/30/2024. I am so happy they finally gave it compatibility for 280 rads, I have been waiting for this for a very long time. I do not understand why manufacturers refuse to do this. Also be aware that if you have a 3d printer you can print the rad/fan adaptor. I do not understand why they don't do the same for the feet besides greed. I'm also happy the GPU doesn't have to be mounted using a riser cable. My lion li case had a bad cable and didn't figure it out until I did another build. I had months of random problems, drove me nuts.
I would really like a deep dive in how you would optimize your setup. So if you have a watercooler start with placing that and then depending on X place your motherboard in X spot away from the radiator. This way the case can actually be used in the most optimized way instead of having just a few rough but good layouts. Like if you want to optimize then you should follow a few set rules. Or maybe steps. One thing is for sure, having so much optimisation is only awesome if we know how we can take advantage of it. It's not just being able to fit everything. It's also fan clearance and gpu clearance. etc.
I was getting more and more interested in the Dan C4-SFX, but found it expensive and sadly, discontinued. Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in? 😻 This is beautiful. Great video. And timely.
When I think back to when i first discovered itx and found the nr200p the option to use the cheaper matx board, cheaper full size psu while also being relatively cheaper compared to the current market will make it a pretty compelling choice for new pc builders or those looking to downsize. The cpu height is the only thing theyll have to concern themselves with. If new builders can get over the need to put an aio on underpowered parts with a glass side panel then this is a great case for sure.
I have an M1 v5. I’m looking at doing my next build as a full size ATX as I’ve stopped moving around as much and can do that (and it’s a bit cheaper lol). But this channel has really given me a love for SFF. Probably will keep my M1 case and just using it as a TV PC. This new M2 looks great! Love the more squared design, just wish it had more color options. I’m looking at Fractals wood and metal cases rn.
I'm an Ncase M1 6.1 owner myself. Still using the Crosshair VIII Impact wich its DTS form factor won't fit on any sandwitch layout. Finally a new case to look forward to without needing to replace my motherboard.
Love the Ncase still have my m1 v6.1 I don’t need to upgrade since I’m running a 3060ti but after seeing these I want one. Only other case I really liked was the T1 and loved that you mentioned it on this video those are the top best cases honestly.
Cons: 1. "The power button cable is too short, but it will be increased in length in the future" - ok, fair point. 2. "The manual will likely suck for this, though I don't have it myself yet" HUH? Why assume that when the company clearly cares about quality. 3. "The last con is the price, it's so competitively priced that it might not be possible to get one" another assumption, and a weird way to spin a positive into a con. So the only con it really has is that the cable is a little short, which they're fixing...
Just bought one and it will be my first SFF build after 15+ years just doing ATX builds. I am done with big, clunky PC cases and really curious to how this one will turn out. Cannot wait for it to be delivered.
Can't wait to see the builds you do in this! I have an M1 because of your vids and when I upgrade my gpu from a 1080, I'll definitely be going to the M2. Maybe my first water cooled build as well!
Daaamn and I JUST bought a FormD T1 v2.1 last week and it should arrive today or tomorrow This has two usb-c on the front. It looks amazing, a bit bigger, and still amazing quality. Well I got the black formd so this is a perfect reason to eventually get a silver case
I have received my case and 3d printing the extras for the case instead of buying them, feet have been added to the 3d print page, wohoo... Hope to have this done within the next few weeks depending on how it goes. Hope everyone else is enjoying there new M2 case!
I was concerned with the QC issues that came about with previous versions of the NCASE M1 EVO. I ended up pre-ordering the Loque Ghost R1. From the spec sheet, that thing can even fit my NH-D15. Excited for that in October.
What a throwback to some of the early content you made (I still am very envious about that M1 Build with the custom matte water pipes). Do you by any chance know when the silver M2 will drop? Thanks again for making these vids
I have a v6 M1 and I was lucky enough to snag a C4-SFX when it was available. Good to know that it performs similarly to the M2 because I think the C4-SFX looks better.
Would love to see your full build guide for the M2, as you mentioned might be coming down the line! Specifically, I'm wondering if beefier cards NEED to be in the vertical orientation, or if they can be installed in flipped config as well - assuming the width / height fit in the case? Does vertical GPU allow better cooling for a bigger card?
I've been rocking an M1 for the past 7+ years and couldn't be happier with it. The M2 on videos looks a little fragile/delicate in comparison, but I'm sure it looks a lot better in the flesh
I make ONE TH-cam video about the Noctua NH-D15, and my feed is now FILLED with related content. Really makes you wonder if TH-cam has finally integrated (an entrapped) AGI in its algorithm. Also, screw you for showing me how amateur my content really is. I hate you and love you at the same time. Subscribed.
after watching your vide "Unbeatable 16-core + RTX 3090 Ncase M1 Build!" it inspired me to build a NCASE M1 my build is a RTX 3090+ Ryzen 5950, everything is water-cooled including the rams
MATX support, perforated front panel and the ability to place the GPU on top makes this the perfect case for me. I'm tempted to replace my ASUS AP201 now. I just need the grater one in black.

The video made a big point of the fact that this case is able to house the largest GPU on the market (Asus ROG STRIX 4090?), whereas the T1 and NR200 can't. That is a good point, but I think that is missing the main point to some extent. Good video though, as always. This is by far one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Fun fact: new ncase M2 has nothing to do with ncase m1 v6.1 that Ali loves so much.
That’s a huge shame Ali keeps advertising cases from W360
What do you mean by it has nothing to do with M1?
4:01 gives me hope, bc 99% of the time i see u playing video games u wipe the floor compared to me but in ths clip we look very similar
I was waiting for this after 'Machines and More' channel reviewed this case
He gives me that Sage Athletic Monk vibe with those brown hoodie robes.
Where did you buy that clean af hoody
This man has become one of my favorite tech content creators because of how clean his videos are. Keep up the good work.
On their website, only the black version is available, not silver. Do you know when silver becomes available?
The quality of your videos is insane.
Can't decide between the Formd T1 and the Ncase M2. any advice guys?
The quality and the Lighting conditions and the smooth editing gives goosebumps ,high tier content
Why is the silver M2 version not on the website?
Wondering the same, only grater version
This seems to be the future proof case, when I'm gonna switch back to building itx PC's again. I've got 2 ridges, 1 with an itx board and the other with a mini dtx. For what I can see, I could switch my current dtx build to this case. You've got me interested again in coming back for building in these small cases. And I'm also looking forward to hear more of your Collab with wooting for the 60he(+) case 🎉
is there a link to the mod diy gpu power cable? @8:09
5:00 gave my brain an instinctual "SPIDER!" response
0:12 how do I make my youtube look like this?
Maybe you can change appearance in general setting to dark mode or something like that? I can't say for sure since I don't use TH-cam.
It looks like that bcs , it was opened from his own channel gmail , so its like the creators user interface 😊
Thank you for the video! The M2 is beautiful and it's great to see the price coming down compared to the days of the M1.
Love how versatile the case can get with all the possible configurations. Looking forward to your other build videos with the M2. Cheers!
Sorry, is it me, or is that curtain SUPER crooked? 0:53
Seems like he has vaulted ceilings
The curtain must be on wheels lol
He doesn't have a ceiling. The roof is sloped.
That would make sense, I can’t imagine they would be that crooked otherwise. Appreciate a solution that can scratch that itch haha
Your channel and review of the M1 got me into sff pcs. I still to this day have my M1 (now retired) and don’t plan to sell it ever.
its been a month and still no proper video aside from this ad.. how much more testing is needed
bruh you are making me fall in love with ITX builds!!
It's a CH160 for 5x the cost. Nice
Idk how you thought of that. Its different.
Never cook again they are very different
it isn't
Ncase M1 was what got me into SFF so will always love that case, these days I am running a NR200 but I am excited for the Ncase FF1 the most (if/when it eventually releases).
I was so bummed when NCASE discontinued the M1. I'm so happy to hear they are making the M2!
Perfect timing on this, as I've been rocking the M1 for like 8 years, but will need something bigger for the 5080 when that comes. Nothing out there has hit the spot for me, but this looks like it will for my planned air build. Can't wait to see your build guide, and I'll wait for the second release.
dude, you don't even have to have this high production, you can literally upload anything and I'll watch, clean ass n
Ive been obsessed with the "smokestack" airflow setup lately, and i cant say i can even begin to understand how this case is supposed to airflow
day by day you prove to us you are a genius, your videos are just from an other universe, I really love your content, I loved the tech hardware industery, and I dedicated a lot of time for it, I enjoy every video talking about hardware, and I wish one day I could be as good as you, Keep shining
Ive got my 4070 and 5800x3d. Undervolted and frame capped to 120. Total system power is around 200-250 watts while gaming 35-50c. Its in the lian-li dan case.
I just picked this up, it will not ship until 7/30/2024. I am so happy they finally gave it compatibility for 280 rads, I have been waiting for this for a very long time. I do not understand why manufacturers refuse to do this. Also be aware that if you have a 3d printer you can print the rad/fan adaptor. I do not understand why they don't do the same for the feet besides greed. I'm also happy the GPU doesn't have to be mounted using a riser cable. My lion li case had a bad cable and didn't figure it out until I did another build. I had months of random problems, drove me nuts.
I would really like a deep dive in how you would optimize your setup. So if you have a watercooler start with placing that and then depending on X place your motherboard in X spot away from the radiator. This way the case can actually be used in the most optimized way instead of having just a few rough but good layouts.
Like if you want to optimize then you should follow a few set rules. Or maybe steps.
One thing is for sure, having so much optimisation is only awesome if we know how we can take advantage of it. It's not just being able to fit everything. It's also fan clearance and gpu clearance. etc.
I was getting more and more interested in the Dan C4-SFX, but found it expensive and sadly, discontinued.
Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in? 😻
This is beautiful. Great video. And timely.
as a proud owner of the m1, i was wating and waiting to upgrade my pc. But now i've instantly ordred it, building a new pC!
This channel should've had 10M+ subs by now. Good to see Ali finally doing some collabs with Wooting etc.
Thank you for the awesome review. Are you planning to review the Louqe Ghost R1? Debating between these 2 cases
When I think back to when i first discovered itx and found the nr200p the option to use the cheaper matx board, cheaper full size psu while also being relatively cheaper compared to the current market will make it a pretty compelling choice for new pc builders or those looking to downsize.
The cpu height is the only thing theyll have to concern themselves with.
If new builders can get over the need to put an aio on underpowered parts with a glass side panel then this is a great case for sure.
Yoo, NCASE is back. I built my M1 based on your videos, and fell in love with SFFPC design. I can't wait to see your M2 videos.
This is the cleanest video i have seen in youtube. I subbed.
I have an M1 v5. I’m looking at doing my next build as a full size ATX as I’ve stopped moving around as much and can do that (and it’s a bit cheaper lol). But this channel has really given me a love for SFF.
Probably will keep my M1 case and just using it as a TV PC.
This new M2 looks great! Love the more squared design, just wish it had more color options. I’m looking at Fractals wood and metal cases rn.
I'm an Ncase M1 6.1 owner myself. Still using the Crosshair VIII Impact wich its DTS form factor won't fit on any sandwitch layout. Finally a new case to look forward to without needing to replace my motherboard.
all these beautiful cases and here I am still using my Ghost s1 hehe, love the video they are always top notch!
Love the Ncase still have my m1 v6.1 I don’t need to upgrade since I’m running a 3060ti but after seeing these I want one. Only other case I really liked was the T1 and loved that you mentioned it on this video those are the top best cases honestly.
Another BASED Optimum banger of a video, let's go!
Cons: 1. "The power button cable is too short, but it will be increased in length in the future" - ok, fair point. 2. "The manual will likely suck for this, though I don't have it myself yet" HUH? Why assume that when the company clearly cares about quality. 3. "The last con is the price, it's so competitively priced that it might not be possible to get one" another assumption, and a weird way to spin a positive into a con. So the only con it really has is that the cable is a little short, which they're fixing...
Just bought one and it will be my first SFF build after 15+ years just doing ATX builds. I am done with big, clunky PC cases and really curious to how this one will turn out. Cannot wait for it to be delivered.
Can't wait to see the builds you do in this! I have an M1 because of your vids and when I upgrade my gpu from a 1080, I'll definitely be going to the M2. Maybe my first water cooled build as well!
Daaamn and I JUST bought a FormD T1 v2.1 last week and it should arrive today or tomorrow
This has two usb-c on the front. It looks amazing, a bit bigger, and still amazing quality.
Well I got the black formd so this is a perfect reason to eventually get a silver case
Don't be sad. The T1 is an incredible product. You're lucky to have it.
i just built in the m2 and mine doesnt have 2 usb c on the front, they changed one of them to a drive indicator light. D;
I have received my case and 3d printing the extras for the case instead of buying them, feet have been added to the 3d print page, wohoo... Hope to have this done within the next few weeks depending on how it goes. Hope everyone else is enjoying there new M2 case!
I was concerned with the QC issues that came about with previous versions of the NCASE M1 EVO. I ended up pre-ordering the Loque Ghost R1. From the spec sheet, that thing can even fit my NH-D15. Excited for that in October.
What a throwback to some of the early content you made (I still am very envious about that M1 Build with the custom matte water pipes).
Do you by any chance know when the silver M2 will drop? Thanks again for making these vids
I have a v6 M1 and I was lucky enough to snag a C4-SFX when it was available. Good to know that it performs similarly to the M2 because I think the C4-SFX looks better.
Would love to see your full build guide for the M2, as you mentioned might be coming down the line! Specifically, I'm wondering if beefier cards NEED to be in the vertical orientation, or if they can be installed in flipped config as well - assuming the width / height fit in the case? Does vertical GPU allow better cooling for a bigger card?
Cost effective and flat-pack. I wanna see more from the industry that matches this quality/cost ratio.
I've been rocking an M1 for the past 7+ years and couldn't be happier with it. The M2 on videos looks a little fragile/delicate in comparison, but I'm sure it looks a lot better in the flesh
I make ONE TH-cam video about the Noctua NH-D15, and my feed is now FILLED with related content. Really makes you wonder if TH-cam has finally integrated (an entrapped) AGI in its algorithm.
Also, screw you for showing me how amateur my content really is. I hate you and love you at the same time.

after watching your vide "Unbeatable 16-core + RTX 3090 Ncase M1 Build!" it inspired me to build a NCASE M1 my build is a RTX 3090+ Ryzen 5950, everything is water-cooled including the rams
I got my M1 because of you. About a month before they discontinued it
Can't wait to see builds on this case!!!!
I'm pumped! I'm hoping to get my hands on it soon to do build review.
MATX support, perforated front panel and the ability to place the GPU on top makes this the perfect case for me. I'm tempted to replace my ASUS AP201 now. I just need the grater one in black.
