It would be nice, if they made something bigger, but as modular as this one
Naa. SST SG10 is still the best compact enthusiast case out there.
$230!? GEEEEEET FUUUUUUUUCKED.
"Small" form factor with a 18L sized case. I'd really like to see LTT do a sub 10L build. Also it would be amazing if Streacom had something sizewise between the DA2 and FC2.
You guys have gotta get your hands on a thermal camera… I'd LOVE to see the hotspots on the case, and then the internals with that Metro Exodus + Stress test…
I don't like the little plate under the power button and the usbc port.
$200 for a flippin ITX case… I don't think so.
Did Apple take some design cues from this for their Mac Pro? This and a cheese grater.
I don't hate RGB, i personally would use only white LEDs.
It's a really good case (yet not owning one, but I will), but there's one real downside: the GPU clearance allows only 50mm high cards. E.g. Asus has no RTX 2080 card that'd fit. Gigabyte and MSI have only two that may fit, barely. So basically it's only the Nvidia FEs or then just 2070s. Maybe with the bottom grille removed some larger cards could fit, I'm not sure. I believe it would really help with the GPU temps if there was room for cards with thicker heatsinks. It'd only require to make the case 10 to 20 mm higher to allow basically any card to fit.
Oh, and you don't have to be a Mac fanboi to want that minimalistic design. But as an owner of a Dell laptop and a Cambridge Audio amplifier, this is basically the only option to get a good-looking stylistically similar PC case that'd fit bigger CPU coolers. (Ncase M1, nah. Not on the same level in visual design.)
Thanks Seasonic for this and 5 years of power in both my at work and gaming PC
Unicorn vomit, that's exactly what I call RGB too!
so a ikea pc case?
Could you build a Threadripper, 2080ti machine on this?
So basically, dont watercool it because it has the exact same temperatures. Got it.
Coolios
Feedback anyone? Seems like this would be fine for my office ppl to run Excel, QB, and Word, all with onboard graphics only? Comments? Forum link maybe?
Where is the front THUNDERBOLT port!
Advertises a PSU; shows it upside down.
"I gotta say this is an absolutely incredible amount of raw power for the size…."
Yes… I am 12
8:03 DAT OUPS moment looll
wth this bitch is 341 bucks on amazon. Jesus. Overpriced much?
please no more Intel set ups
The PC design sucks
OK i just kidding
So everything was so tight, the case became a secondary radiator
rail system. genius,… only took until 2019…. tap tap tap… is this thing on…. hello….mcfly…..
I find 78C for the GPU to high for water cooling with 2x 240mm radiators, i have a MSI GeForce GTX 1080 AERO 8G OC water cooled with NZXT Kraken G12 and NZXT Kraken X31, and replaced the radiator of the NZXT Kraken X31 (30mm 120mm radiator), with the Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 120mm (45mm radiator), and my GPU never gets above 64c, and that in the Raijintek Thetis Window case ( fantastic case BTW).
This is why i love water……
that activate windows is buggin me XD
C a N iT R u N F Or TnI te
Im new here, love the videos.
Really enjoyed the part where the blonde dude in the back said "I left in on for hours earlier and like the whole case is burning hot" https://youtu.be/osv_sdEMevQ?t=674

Dude, my heart literally dropped when Colton pushed on it at 11:35. I didn't realize Linus was lifting it up from the bottom lol
Who needs a screwdriver when you have thumb screws.
