FITMENT CAVEAT: This record describes the named model only. Published maxima can depend on revision, brackets, fan/radiator position, PSU cable routing and drive configuration; verify the exact manual and parts before purchase or assembly.

Specifications & fit

Exact modelNCASE M1 EVO
Motherboard sizesMini-ITX (170 × 170 mm), Mini-DTX, Micro-ATX and Deep-ITX; check the exact board outline and tray/vertical GPU configuration in the matching M1 EVO manual revision.
PSU type and fitSFX and SFX-L; ATX requires the optional mounting kit. With an ATX PSU and GPU longer than 270 mm, PSU depth is restricted to about 140 mm; verify manual configuration before choosing the supply.
GPU length and thicknessHorizontal/flipped layouts: up to 359 mm long, 142 mm wide/high and four slots. Vertical GPU layout: up to 359 × 165 mm and four slots. These are different assemblies; the vertical layout reduces CPU-cooler height.
CPU cooler heightUp to 135 mm in standard/flipped GPU layouts (depending on card thickness); up to 50 mm with vertical GPU configuration.
Radiator and fan optionsSupports 120/140 mm fans and 240/280 mm radiators in documented locations; simultaneous dual-radiator layouts (including 2 × 240/280 mm) require the appropriate configuration/kit. Maximum fan count and radiator thickness depend on board, PSU and GPU orientation.
Storage clearancesUp to nine 2.5-inch drives or three 3.5-inch drives using the supported brackets; accessory configurations may vary. Drive brackets consume radiator/fan space, so use the manual's selected layout rather than summing all advertised maxima.
Compatibility notesThe M1 EVO has multiple modes and accessory-dependent configurations. Record the exact M1EVO-A/R/MC-SDK model and manual version; GPU orientation changes available CPU-cooler height and PSU/radiator compatibility.

Compatibility & preservation notes

The M1 EVO has multiple modes and accessory-dependent configurations. Record the exact M1EVO-A/R/MC-SDK model and manual version; GPU orientation changes available CPU-cooler height and PSU/radiator compatibility.

  • Record the case model/SKU, revision, included riser, brackets and manual version before changing hardware.
  • Measure the actual GPU shroud, power connectors, cooler, radiator/fan stack and cable bend radii; do not assume listed maxima can coexist.
  • Keep original drive trays, standoffs, fasteners, fan brackets and panel hardware with the enclosure.
