Our Timeline
2013 – Where It All Began
A simple forum post sparked it all. W360, driven by a passion for compact, high-performance PC design, asked the [H]ardForum community for a premium SFF case. Little did anyone know, this would ignite a revolution in small form factor builds.
2014 – The Birth of NCASE
With the power of community and crowdfunding, the M1 Classic was born. NCASE was officially founded, and the M Series became the gold standard for indie SFF cases, proving that big ideas can fit in small and space optimized packages.
2018 – Resurrecting a Vision
The “Sidearm” concept emerged, dusting off a bold idea from five years prior. It evolved into FormD, an offshoot dedicated to pushing boundaries even further in the SFF enthusiast world.
2020 – Breaking New Ground
March saw the launch of the FormD Works website, followed by the release of the highly-anticipated T1 V1.0. With updates like V1.1, the T Series became a favorite within the SFF community.
2021 – Saying Goodbye, Looking Ahead
The beloved M1 Classic bowed out, marking the end of an era. In its place, a new level of craftsmanship emerged, as NCASE transitioned from sheet metal to CNC manufacturing, delivering a more refined and precise build experience.
2022 – Revolutionizing Compact GPU Power
The T1 V2.0 hit the scene, answering the call for better GPU support. It was a game-changer for enthusiasts who wanted to squeeze serious power into the smallest of spaces.
2024 – Leveling Up the T Series and Beyond
January: The T1 V2.5 debuted, making assembly easier and elevating its design with a premium touch that screamed SFF sophistication. June: The M2 was unleashed, delivering unparalleled GPU compatibility and cementing its place as the future of compact PC builds.
The Journey Continues –
NCASE remains dedicated to the SFF community, pushing the limits of what’s possible in small form factor design. This is just the beginning.
