There is no question that Singularity Computers has nice stuff but it does come at a tall price also, when you pay the price the Singularity Computers is asking it better be top notice product, so if you can afford it up front go for it. A company like Singularity Computers can treat you like you should be treated. Singularity Computers isn't my taste in PC hardware and it's different and that's alright, and it isn't for everybody I understand that too, so to each there own. I'm glad they took care of you because when your happy it will be by the word of month that will help Singularity Computers going forward..
@@billbabbs3871 How was it Nvidia treated us during the pandemic ? readily available graphic cards at low prices and no problems with RMA ?

They offered this for me as well. Although I was able to silicon mine up to stop it leaking and it wasn’t too noticeable. Damn good of Daniel to even offer though.
I saw you went to the beach on your last video and came back with that Dell still booting. If you're going to nail something to the wall, it would be that..
Daniel is probably chuckling while watching Jay struggle and asking for a manual, all the while knowing he sent Jay a chassis that doubles as a logic puzzle.
I went to the comments to post this but you already did. Yea, how does he not have a single Seasonic PSU? I have been using Seasonic for well over a decade now. What PSU does Jay depend on then? lol
I'm also baffled that he never got a Seasonic PSU, they are great and they come with a 10 year warranty, just to say how sure that company is about their products....🙂
This reminds me of the older skeleton cases, affectionately called "open air" cases. It's great, unless you have a pet and the dander gets all over the parts
I just blow my open air case down with canned air every few months and it's been fine for years now. It's the hair that's the real problem around here!
It kinda seems like they designed it but didn't do any test fitting afterwards. There's a lot of things not lining up that I feel would have been a non issue if they had done proper test fitting.
They all do fit properly - with some specific gear - I'd expect. I get the feeling this is a case that has a VERY limited list of items it goes well with in terms of everything from motherboard to radiator, and if those are used it works a dream. If not it's between okish and nightmare. I have a Thermaltake Mozart TX, big ass mofo case you'd assume anything to fit in - nope, not even close. Custom watercooling is a MUST in it, and E-ATX boards are a pain, which makes no sense since it's like a friggin fridge. But yeah, they built it to only basically work with 3 motherboards without pain, because of how drivecages block your access to ports on the motherboard unless all your ports are bottom right corner or bottom edge. The mid/top right? Blocked - by a WELDED in drive cage assy - whee. Old ass stuff but also more like a showstopper than an actually practical product, a bit like this thing is.
Jay, I can remember your battle to lose weight quite a few years ago now and how you lost a shit load. I also had gastric banding done and lost weight and levelling out at 80 kg. After 11 years of vomiting and unable to eat takeaway or food from a restaurant, I endured enough and had it removed. While I had the banding in situ I still managed to put on 20 kg by eating chocolate and other sugar dense food and drink. Then I had it removed and slowly but surely my weight increased to 130 kg. I had terrible back and hip pain and so I saw a pain doctor who promptly said to lose weight before he would help. He recommended the 5 : 2 diet and after one year on this diet I am back to 90 kg and I have self control to maintain and even lose another 10 kg at this stage. Never once did I use a diet shake or buy diet food. Everything I ate was measured or weighed and it was so simple. All regular food items. Why am I telling you all this, well I have noticed you have put on a fair amount of weight, significantly more than your lowest with the gastric banding. I know how hard it is and have experience to share.
It's an interesting little thing there is definitely something interesting to shake things up but there's also a lot of little oversights on things that could be easily adjusted by making a second version
At first, I thought I’d be unimpressed by an open air ITX case, a little late to that discussion… But add the power board and the water cooling, and you’ve got my attention!
Honestly, when you said that it’s a boring video, I thought that’s definitely not boring and is definitely a lot more interesting than just a showcase of anything
I love how no matter what you're building, if you've ever bought a Be Quiet! cooler, you basically now have a screwdriver that you'll be using for the rest of your PC building days.
You could make aluminum rails in between the radiator and the mounting plate to the top and put your own holes in to get the rad holes in line with the top of the distro plate, you could also run the aluminum right to the bottom and it would make it sturdier
You could totally use a passive cooled PSU and Seasonic has a 700w version. I think that would look cool seeing all the components of the PSU too since it is open chassis case.
This entire thing needs a mulligan. Great idea Dan; now make it so the PSU is put into quarter-split box channel which would be made as the _perfect_ frame for a PSU, and have a rigid riser for the GPU which mounts it vertically. This would enable the whole thing to nearly fit in the profile of a PSU, while not entirely relying on it for structural rigidity.
I agree the PSU should mount to the other and I think that is wear it should actually go it would have given Jay that extra room he need and the pump facing outward not over the psu!
@@mromutt Exactly what I immediately thought when I saw that metal bracket. But at the time Jay might of been over it. I'm wondering if the PSU faced behind the motherboard where the rad was. and mounted the GPU by the rad(longer riser cable). It would of made the draining of the distro worry free. Keep in mind the same design Jay was mentioning about the rad facing inward to straight pipe the distro. Then again you cant have kids or animals around it would destroy your whole motherboard etc by knocking it over
MOD TIME!!! I'd 3d print 2 90 degree rails to connect to the radiator plate to mount 2 360's straight out the back on each side. Bonus, it gives you a place to put your take out coffee to keep it from getting too cool lol.
Don't compromise on the pump, the case needs more adjustability, those brackets have room for improvement, GPU placement anywhere, it's already on a riser cable..
I'[m not sick of fishtanks. Before those, we had only one ATX-size PC form factor: 2-3 fans in the front, 2-3 ion the top, 1 in the back, and the PSU and cable space underneath. I'll always welcome having more form factors.
Get some sticky feet to put on the bottom of the PSU. Flip it over so the psu logo is upright and the psu intake is on the bottom. The sticky feet will also help with vibration.
Your assembly shows that while we builders are experienced and intelligent, sometimes we run into issues out of ignorance or poor planning. Twice I have left stickers on CPU mounts this year and mounted a Deep Coolpl Assassin 4 backwards once. Sometimes we go braindead without our coffee or it is late at night. None, or poor, instructions do make the job harder. (Montech has poor manuals.) This is the first time I have seen this manufacturer so I have no history with it to speak knowledgeably on. This Singulaity would also look good with a Deep Xool Assassin 4 passive cooler would be cool.
Cool case! A horizontal L shaped bracket to mount the PSU sideways to point the cables sideways would be rad. Maybe even have the PSU mount on its side to have the fan facing the front. That would also stop dust and water getting in the PSU mesh
So if there's a revision made to slide the rad up so that you can line those fittings up... the power supply exhaust will also clear the radiator better! Maybe a little air deflector shield to route the hot air?
In Australia, not just the animals are trying to kill each other and you, the plants can also kill you. There's one where all you need to do is brush you skin against the leaves and it will suffocate you to death. Yes. And the economy too. And they have a very efficient and effective government security agency as well. Great build commentary and review. Jay, you do the most amazing work.
I think you could put the lower left GPU mount behind the upper left mount. This would possibly change the bracket order and the GPU wouldnt have the leaning issue at 20:53 due to misaligned holes.
I don't even have a case any more. I just use a shoe box and put some holes into it and zip ties to run my pro art b650 creator motherboard with 7500f and 3080. It does the job done.
NR200p with 7900xtx...i found great success with venting out the side and in the top. The case is a block, but it is full of exhaust options. I also undervolted just like you said to do with amd(7600x). It's been great!
Great video. Was nice to learn about Maximus. One thing though. Cutting at 30htz does remove some low end energy. Most mastering engineers would cut 20htz in the low end as we can't hear below or above 20 -20,000 htz. You will of course get a louder master as you may have cut too much from the low end. I tend to cut 20 low, 17500 high.
LOOKS LIKE A 0.5 VERSION, needs to be iterated a bit more before 1.0 Release. if the 3.5 tray we rotated 90degrees you could hot swap them (with a caddy and clips systme) then you don't have to dismantle "case" to swap them.
Jay! You recently said about doing a case collab, I think it would be awesome if you also did something with singularity and came up with a an open "case" like this but worked together to iron out all the kinks you would find 🙂
Jay You could put the Fans in between the Radiator and the Bracket! That way you could flip the Radiator and put 90°-Fittings or those Offset-Fittings on it to get that superclean Look! Personally i really like that case except the GPU-Placement ... that really sucks :( Love your Content!
Those are PCBs. You should be able to design a PCB for the radiator mount with the correct measurements quite cheap for the same. And in just a week it can reach you also.

That's what I was thinking lol
Spot on
Jay in next video "i found the manuals!!, they were in the trash with bubble wrap"
Honestly for this video it's kinda great for feedback
Not to mention that the manual *IS* on the website...
vid is NOT annoying, it's nice to see you actually putting it together and taking apart once in a while my guy
@20:53 "We got two holes here. But we can only get to one." That's what she said.
If I ran a design company like Dan, I'd be sending my stuff to Jay for this superb evaluation and feedback
But also with no manual!
Wait until Jay gets to the end of the box and find the instruction manual 😂
I’m kind of shocked Jay doesn’t have a Seasonic PSU. They’re great Power supplies.
I went to the comments to post this but you already did.
Yea, how does he not have a single Seasonic PSU? I have been using Seasonic for well over a decade now. What PSU does Jay depend on then? lol
@@procrastinatingnerd I think he tends to use Corsair units, *some* of which are OEMed by Seasonic, but it's not the same.

RTFM is a thing for a reason
I know it didn't come with a manual but I can't wait to see Jay try to figure out how to plug the power cable into the PSU.
It kinda seems like they designed it but didn't do any test fitting afterwards. There's a lot of things not lining up that I feel would have been a non issue if they had done proper test fitting.
and a test to see if anything considered "disposable" can easily be replaced, i.e. the SSD's
There's also so many different component mounting options, so I can see a first run that would need tweeking and revisions.
They all do fit properly - with some specific gear - I'd expect. I get the feeling this is a case that has a VERY limited list of items it goes well with in terms of everything from motherboard to radiator, and if those are used it works a dream.

So we need picatinny rails or mlok rails for computer parts.
If SC packed and shipped a broken mirror, it would arrive whole and perfectly polished.

Looks very cool and I love the way Singularity is thinking out of the box
Hope you have it up and running on your next video to see how it runs and thermals.
There is no case, there is only Zuel!!
Videos like this are not annoying whatsoever. They're highly educational. Jay and team, thank you. Hope y'all are doing well.
We learn he cuts towards the body, instead of away.
I really like open "cases" like this, but every time I look more into a specific one I sigh and think "Nope. Still not the one"
Ultimate clean build! Build with a APU also 3D print a Power Supply shroud, and if it resembles a Hood Scoop even better!
It's an interesting little thing there is definitely something interesting to shake things up but there's also a lot of little oversights on things that could be easily adjusted by making a second version
One step closer to a technological singularity
It's also a Linkin Park track.

You could make aluminum rails in between the radiator and the mounting plate to the top and put your own holes in to get the rad holes in line with the top of the distro plate, you could also run the aluminum right to the bottom and it would make it sturdier
I feel like that siren in the beginning is a sign this video is gonna be good.
Arctic makes a very slick AIO that has a fan built into the cpu block for cooling VRM which would be perfect for this case.
You could totally use a passive cooled PSU and Seasonic has a 700w version. I think that would look cool seeing all the components of the PSU too since it is open chassis case.

Thanks for the chuckle around 16:20-16:30
Why put the drain on the bottom near the PSU??? It’s such a small and open “case” that you could just flip it around when you need to drain it.
I agree the PSU should mount to the other and I think that is wear it should actually go it would have given Jay that extra room he need and the pump facing outward not over the psu!
I was thinking drill a hole in that metal bracket and mount a drain valve to it then just have a small tube to the distro
@@mromutt Thought about that as well. Still say belongs on other side!
Just to clarify, i meant you could just pick up the whole case and turn it upside down to drain.
@@mromutt Exactly what I immediately thought when I saw that metal bracket. But at the time Jay might of been over it.

Really funny seeing Australian moving boxes from bunnings in one of jays videos.
21:54 Right there with you Jay. Sometimes I feel I need to put a stick up my nose and hit my brains reset button. 😐
As an Aussie that last statement is very true Jay, although more the economy than the animals!

Or PSU fan facing down with some small feet to raise it.
jay you can use some large washers to pin the aio to the sides of the braket where there are no srew holes. then it should line up the hose ports
24:30 made my day 🤣
Yes, a couple of'em are gonna happen. We just do not talk it about it. In the tech space. Or in general, for that matter.
So if there's a revision made to slide the rad up so that you can line those fittings up... the power supply exhaust will also clear the radiator better! Maybe a little air deflector shield to route the hot air?

18:50 grab yourself a small crescent wrench or open end wrench to turn that bit & screw.
19:00 that iFIXIT kit comes with a bendy screw driver bit
I think you could put the lower left GPU mount behind the upper left mount. This would possibly change the bracket order and the GPU wouldnt have the leaning issue at 20:53 due to misaligned holes.
That is the physical representation of niche and its pretty cool.
Pretty smart assembling this without a manual.

I would like a radiator that has less fin density to allow more air flow, but thicker to help offset having less fins.
the manual is now on their website mate

maybe adding another support for a second rad next to the first one could help doing a full waterloop build?
A set of instructions would have resolved most issues...
Plus a list of compatible components... I hope you do a build on this later...

Maybe have a bracket for 140 and one for 120 and you just install the one needed. that is pretty bad ass... Thanks, jay!
Would make a super cool steampunk build. Maybe copper tubing/pipes.
I would actually make a frame/stand/tube run out of copper pipe for it... It would look cool as hell...
