Nouvelle version pour le petit NCASE M1, désormais proposé en V6. Et comme pour chaque révision, les changements sont assez nombreux. Quoique cette nouvelle mouture fait très fort, avec un changelog très impressionnant qui apporte de nombreuses nouveautés.
Si le style général du boitier n'évolue pas, tout comme ses dimensions particulièrement compactes, beaucoup de petites choses évoluent en douceur ; plus ou moins, certains changements pouvant être assez radiaux.
Front I/O
- - Added USB Type C port (requires motherboard 20 pin Type E header)
- - Changed headphone and mic ports to single combo jack
- - All ports use new molds
- - Redesigned I/O bracket with swappable no-I/O faceplate (ports can be removed for cleaner look/slightly better 2.2+ slot GPU compatibility)
Chassis
- - Redesigned ventilation holes on bottom and rear to improve airflow
- - Added longer fan mounting slots on the bottom
- - Bottom vents moved to separate steel floor plate attached to underside of chassis
- - Added bottom magnetic dust filter

- - Added M4 screw holes for window mounting to chassis
- - Front-right chassis flange reduced, SFX PSU can now be installed from the right side
- - Reduced rear-left chassis flange to facilitate GPU installation
- - Enlarged chassis front GPU passthrough to facilitate GPU installation and provide more room for oversized GPUs
- - Removed four panel mounting clips from side flanges to reduce incidence of oversized GPU conflicts
- - Changed front 2.5" drive mounting to use screws instead of rubber grommets to save space/reduce complexity

Top panel

Side panels

Other
- - New 15mm tall molded rubber feet

Avant d'opter pour cette V6, il conviendra donc de vérifier attentivement les composants de la future configuration. De bonnes surprises et de moins bonnes, et un tarif qui reste à 210USD.
