Cases are Stupid. - XWORKS X32 'Case'

We build super expensive over the top machines all the time, but what about the little guy? We’re putting together a super cool open-concept SFF case from XWORKS. Come along as Linus kludges his way through assembly of this sweet little small form factor 1440P gaming machine.

I've noticed that the LTT editors/writers have been having way more fun with the videos in the last few weeks. Keep it up guys!

[spectr]

2:51 Linus: "You can't screw up!"
Also Linus: *immediately screws up*

[correctthatfilthygrammar]

I love how compact the motherboard looks when you've added all the RAM, the M.2s and the cooler.

[Haloweee]

“Wanna bring your pc to visit a friend?” Bold assumption of your audience there Linus.

[woodworkerroyer]

GN: "80+ efficiency is dead!"
LTT: "Meet *cute* efficiency!"

[dschaedler]

Normal cases: Dust filters, positive air pressure
This case: "Hello Dust"

[Robbaz]

Always go for the big cube cases because it's so easy to build in, also if it's bigger it most be better also paint the case red for extra speed.

[jontittley]

14:46 I'm shocked you caught a House Hippo on camera - they're usually so timid!

[carlsage]

Linus: "What could go wrong?"

<a few moments later>

Linus: "Oh. Non-ferrous screws."

[gormauslander]

"taking a PC to visit a friend" is exactly the sort of scenario where I want a case.

[iMind-Juris]

12:11 "I was kind of hoping to be alive at the beginning of this shot, but I guess it doesn't really matter."

Truly, profound. Being alive is optional when it comes to YouTube.

[recreatinguniverse]

"I love my case!"
"Hey dude, need a glass of water?"
Oh shi-

[daniels-mool]

"Everything is labeled so you can't screw up"

Linus WILL find a way

[gobbel]

I love how neatly the CPU cooler fits into the motherboard.

[MoaiGaming]

Linus: Oh look, labeled screw trays!
Also Linus: *Proceeds to flip it upside down and opens it mixing all of them*

[ChiralWolf]

Linus making the exact same mistake Anthony did during the budget test bench video is just perfect poetic justice

[Drails]

"Let's get this out onto a tray, nice"

God that brings back memories from binging MRE videos

[zeekjones]

I do like the silicone floppy cabling.
Braided cables wear out and grow hair, and bulky cables feel like you are going to break them if you bend too far.

[rexdink]

Linus-"lets fire it up and see if it actually runs properly."
Cut to Linus shooting teammate, then gets bodied instantly.
Yup, it's running fine.

[JusticeJanitor]

14:46 That's some deep Canada lore right there.
