2:12 - Corrections: "USB" not "UBC", and "Gb" not "GB". Computex deadlines meant that some little things slipped through the cracks, and we're working to get this updated in the video.

The horizontal computer case being introduced as a revolutionary design makes me want to check myself in to a nursing home.

[TheGameBench]

Now they just need to make one that's a little smaller, mATX or ITX, then it would be perfect for a home entertainment center PC.

[epluribusunum]

His mind would have been blown in the early 90s.

[TheBoredPersons]

ngl with that soft diffused lighting, a wood panel version of that in walnut would go

[Kaenguruu]

3:33 When he said "It's brilliant!" by brain was so conditioned on youtube sponsor spots that I fully expected him to make a segue

[lixnix]

Now we need it with an option for Rackmount😂

[wulfman]

I'd like to see this be no glass on the side, so I can still see in from the from, but also put my monitor on top of it without worrying about the glass

[denverag]

There has been so little innovation in horizontal cases ever since the HAF XB Evo.
Thanks Be Quiet, this case rocks.

[jackofblades]

I've seen cases like that but putting it horizontal is a game changer. Looks way cooler on its side

[edwardgreenjr]

I remember the BTX standard. Also old enough to remember when horizontal cases were the norm. Back when it was a beige hellscape. And there were 30lb CRT monitors on top, not very friendly with glass panels.
But this case is awesome.

[MrSchrootenstein]

Problem is that it takes like 1 linus² floor space

[kaseyboles]

Horizontal used to be the standard. Everything else was odd. There were some advantaged to the switchover. No longer did cases need to be strong enough to support a monitor (crt's back then) and less desk space needed, none in some configurations. Of course now there are serious issues to vertical cases. Main one being the ginormous heat management solutions bending and breaking slots and cards and the level of re-enforcement needed for cpu coolers as well. Horizontal cases are due for a comeback now that that monitors weight much less ( a 32" 4k flat panel weighs less than most 14" crt's did) and no gpu sag/breakage and some interesting alternate cooling setups come to mind.

[HXRDWIREDGaming]

omg that ghost bass in the background is deafening and kills me holy hell.

[itsdeonlol]

So horizontal cases making a come back?

[Bellicose]

So we went full circle back to horizontal computer case, but without the ability to put your monitor on top of it to save desk space like we did in the 90s and prior.

[manoz]

would love a mini-ITX case in this style!

[jackofblades]

Even better I like cases that have rear covers so on all sides it looks good with cables just coming out of one of the corners

[dragonkingqt]

Great design, I've been waiting for this for a long time

1:42 who's that handsome gentleman in the blue Viewabo shirt? It's me!
