Hey everyone. We're leaving for Computex in Taiwan in about 6 days and have a lot of other stuff to film and edit before we leave. We have an air-cooled build with testing planned after we return. Stay Casual <3

I'm back on my bullshit buying PC parts so I'll probably be watching more.

Glad you're still here 😊

[ariscanela]

you litterally inspired me to walk out and go to micro center an pick up this case with a new matx board and sfx power supply and i went to work, so glad with my build. Much thanks to you, i used the same gpu and omg i wish i installed it before the psu haha.

19:03 I made the mistake of not paying attention to the placement of the PCIe slot on my MSI B650M-A Pro series after I ordered it so now I have to return it for a board with a top PCIe slot in order to fit my 4090 with fans on the bottom for intake. You’re correct when you said to watch videos first before buying, because you were the only one who pointed that out, good on you mate.

[AdamChalmers]

The visualizations of power supply vs. GPU clearance were really great. That production quality is so helpful.

SFF/ITX is certainly not dead, we are talking about 26.3 L case here.

[EnergeticTK]

I just found out about this case and you guys are releasing a video about it the same day!! Very excited!

[dennisvillamor]

This is the gear I've been seeking all along. This'll be my endgame PC case (for the 3rd time).

[bradenarnold]

I genuinely love the music. I watch your videos while I work and the music actually helps me focus. Love the 4 hours of music that you have! Oh yeah, great video, as usual.

Like other posters, I'm back researching computer parts since building is fun! I was looking for this channel but didn't know the name and happened upon it and I can honestly say this is one of the top few good channels for PC builders. Thanks for what you do!

Its good to see budget friendly back to basics cases are returning. I know you hated the CH160, but I absolutely frigging love that case. The most time it took for me in that case was to re think of the cable routing and it made all the difference for me and so much cleaner and simpler. (number of screws didn't bother me lol, but I get it that it can be annoying for someone that does lot of pcs...)

Cheers!

Thank you for this. Great format and attention to detail. I feel you really nailed the cinematic, the aestetic theme, and the sound.. I know you take pride in the music, happy to report it was great here.

I want to do a build like this but with a rx7900xt sapphire nitro plus, do you Think it would fit?

[IroxX]

excellent review, so detailed with all the orientations- I left a more comprehensive critique under the A50 video and this one here compared is just excellent, very well done. I understand that maybe not every video is worth putting so much time into it but wow it shows

[mariano]

+1 on the Front Panel matching the Wall Panel theme

Looking forward to a follow-up video with Your Gaming PC transplant

Also: You are toning down nicely!

[sense]

Kudos on making this video. It’s so informative with all the measurements on screen for layout options. Huge thanks for that. Definitely helps visualize options and gave me the confidence to buy.

[TaintedBrain]

Only just got past two minutes and already "away from the had been said six times. 😀


Great video. Thanks.

[saiya]

17:00 Really appreciate you showing an actual size comparison. Talking about units doesn't visually show how big a case is. I own an NR200 and yes, finding a cost efficient SFX mobo is a real pain. Also everything is a squeeze with larger GPUs, even with an SFX PSU.

[angrygreek]

but can it fit a noctua d15?

ah. at 7:00 he says 165mm

according to noctua's website:
Height (with fan) 165 mm

so the answer is yes, barely.

The production level of this channel is exquisite 💙💜
