We need more these cases back. I loved Corsair 760T and Corsair 380T. I have the former. I felt old when many people failed to recognize the Manta. Awesome work as always.
This is a case that fits only a mini ITX motherboard, but I dont consider it a mini ITX case, since it is bigger than some micro ATX cases. So I'm completely uninsterested about it. But I understand that there are many that put form before function, so I might be wrong.
Maybe add Micro Atx support, like it will still have 3 or 4 expansion slots for modern gpus, and there is a lot of wasted room in the front, can probably mount the Psu next to the motherboard like some Itx cases and open up the bottom for full Atx boards while keeping a similar profile. Then like 2 180s at the bottom and 1 more at the top.
It was my pleasure! Thank you for being part of the adventure. Perhaps the quest now should be to get a Manta into your hands for an i3 & 4090 combo build 🫣😅
Wise words from the The Tesseracts themselves 😁 stoked you enjoyed the build and thanks so much for being part of this… even with my 2007 letter approach! Maybe next time I’ll send a messenger pigeon 😂
Dude, your story telling is 10/10! Epic video, well done! :) 🔥🔥 But the colour theme is a bit of a blasphemy to team blue and team red, don't you think? 🤣🤣
Thanks so much my man! A real pleasure to have you on board with this one! Once I got over the tears of laughter that is 😅 Shhh, we don’t talk about the colour theme here 🫡🤫
This was so much fun to watch. I really like how you add a personal connection to the beginning of your videos and this one really showed an emotional journey. IMO if they kept the similar design but increased the perforation at the front and top, I don't see why it wouldn't handle more powerful hardware and it still looks cool. BTW somehow I was expecting your car to be black for some reason :P
I had a black car previously, but as somebody who obsessively likes a clean car, black was WAY too much hard work 😂 literally breathe near it… filth. Silver is good contrast to my all out black approach to life haha
This made me nostalgic for a case I already have lol. My Manta is still going strong from 2016, I probably have upgraded every part of my PC since my original build but I can’t move on, I love the look.
Even if I repeat myself with every new video from you, but your videos are so great. You can really feel the love you put into the videos. Simply fantastic. The hardware components from the pc to the desk, always perfect. Love it ❤💯👍
Haven't finished the video yet, just made it to you finding the manta and got to say I feel you. I have wanted this case forever and still haven't find it. Now to see the finished product. Finished the video. Love your work and love the build.
I had the Black and White Manta, with a sick custom watercooled build in it. I consider it one of my biggest mistakes selling that case, it was awesome.
They call Me Mr Matt Trojan Lee 🥷 haha We absolutely need more collabs and I’ll make sure this is a thing moving forwards. A real pleasure to have you as part of this video dude 🖤
Would love to see NZXT rerelease and do a modern interpretation of this case with current case trends (tempered glass, better airflow). Love this "big" itx form factor. Amazing video!
Awesome video, I love the character you built around yourself, you are the John Wick of PC builds! You don't need words to make such an amazing content!
3 minutes 8 seconds... Killer car brother ,enjoy it. Great build Matt. Your recent video insoired me to build my new daily driver, a: Fractal Terra Jade/R5 7600/Asus B650E ITX/Kingston KC3000 4Tb/ID Cooling IS55/DDR5 5600 2x32Gb/RTX 4080FE,as my new daily driver. Your builds are relaxing to watch and cool as heck.
I have always loved this case!! I used to call it "The Whale" :D But I never bought cause it was too little to be used as main pc, and too big for a htpc. Unfortunately NZXT never made an ATX version.. Thanks Matt Lee! Memories..
Love this comment. “The Whale” haha. I get that! I’d be so stoked if NZXT brought this one back, with a slight redesign for more modern hardware. ATX would be fun too! Those curves are everything 🤌
@@Mr_Matt_Lee since you have a NXZT contact..you could try to ask them! A Manta refresh, maybe ATX, with better airflow, would be insane! And keep going man! Amazing work
@simoSLJ89 even matx would solve 99% of all needs with big gpu support, 2-3 nvme m2 slots and some have 4x ram slots some have 2 slots but hey 32GB is enough for maaany. Matx with sxf-L or short ATX 140-150 mm PSU tops and size would still be great.
Finding that case u wanted for so long feels so amazing, same happened to me with the evga DG77, I was trying to build a full evga system back when evga announced their break up with Nvidia as tribute. I even modded it for making room for a E-ATX mobo. great video Mr Matt
Thank you 😁 It’s a little known fact that a lot of us creators are great friends and regularly talk with each other. It was awesome to finally collab for the video 🙏
Your content is truly something outside of the box Matt. Muchly enjoyed! the build and edit my friend. Great Idea and as always mint camera work! - Jass & Jacqui E.
I found the car weirdly fitting even though I only know these build videos of you and nothing personal at all. The video was nuts. Great storytelling and another pastime we have in common. Skateboarding in mini ramps. Keep em coming. 🫶🏼
I just did 2 custom old school x570s builds this summer and applied RAID0 to the m.2's talk about nostalgia, I personally have run all my rigs in RAID0 since 2004. No matter what the channels say, RAID0 is absolute and has always been bonkers fast with minimal latency. I create documents for print that are 4 meters tall by 27 meters long at 72 dpi sometimes I need to do 150dpi for super high end prints that size.
I liked the story behind this video. I remember the Manta being a bit divisive, but I don't remember it looking as great as you made it look in this video 👍
O know this feeling, i have here sitting for about 6 years the Corsair 350D that I never have been able to build a PC inside. Finally after all these years my pc is getting build and I cannot describe the feeling! 🥺
the Manta lasted me through two builds and is one of the most sentimental PC cases for me because it was my first time building a PC with brand new parts. I've also been building ITX builds ever since that case
Fuuny I just bought new parts for a new build and my previous one is 7 years old and it is in the Manta.. I forgot about the name untill I saw this video :) It has served me well!
Given the current PC Market situation is, I think this is how PC Tech youtuber should be, collaborating and helping each other out. Another awesome video Matt. I enjoyed watching it.
I've just a week ago sold this case, what a coincidence. Absolutely beautiful case if I'm being honest. Aio and 2x 140 in the front? Man... Oh yeah and all the lights are cool Edit: I really wish Nzxt would bring it back
I had seen SO many used cases, but those who know, also know that the acrylic window was prone to scratches. Finding a ‘mint’ unopened Manta was next to impossible. So glad I found it 😁 incredibly ironic that you sold one recently too! I could never sell this, it’ll be with me until I die (the case at least) ahahah
@@Mr_Matt_Leehaha yes, I wish it was tempered glass, the plastic does scratch very easily. I honestly wanted to keep it, it was in decent shape too, but I had no use for it anymore as I upgraded.
This is my case, I used it for my build in 2017 same identical color, with the original Nzxt Kraken with infinite mirror (which in my opinion is much more beautiful than the new one), 5 thermaltake riing fans first series, color Red (beautiful and were not super expensive like the current riing), Gigabyte Z170n-Gaming 5 mini-itx motherboard, black with red details and a red LED (at the time LEDs in the motherboards were rare), RAM Adata XPG Dazzle, With red leds that pulsate like hearts, video card RX580 ROG OC, still after all these years I keep the PC very clean and every time I look at it I am satisfied, this is in my opinion one of the most beautiful mini itx case ever created and I will never sell it , the video is fantastic I signed up.
Lol, If you continue like this soon we will have a movie (I would watch that movie), great video Matt, the intro was entertaining and the ending was funny, I hope to see more of your ideas, good luck and thanks for your videos!
So, should NZXT bring back the Manta with a V2? Would it have mesh front and top panels? A lower PSU shroud for larger GPU’s? You know my answer…
We need more these cases back. I loved Corsair 760T and Corsair 380T. I have the former. I felt old when many people failed to recognize the Manta. Awesome work as always.
Yep!
Yes yes! Those curves.. That's the reason I bought in 2012 the Corsair 600T. And the 780T was great too in that period.
This is a case that fits only a mini ITX motherboard, but I dont consider it a mini ITX case, since it is bigger than some micro ATX cases. So I'm completely uninsterested about it. But I understand that there are many that put form before function, so I might be wrong.

Then like 2 180s at the bottom and 1 more at the top.
Guess it's true what they say...the classics never go out of style 😎
Preach it 💜 this one will be presented in the MML studio museum forever.
Is the classic fire extinguisher still in the box?
Please NZXT do a revisited version of the Manta, this case is just epic!
Bring the Manta back!
we wanted back V2 :D
Matt the video turned out so good mate! Absolutely EPIC!
The man himself!
Your involvement was the icing on the cake! Except that part where I, you know… interrupted your video so you totally shut my quest down hah 🥲 legend!
Thank you for letting me make a cameo appearance!
It was my pleasure! Thank you for being part of the adventure. Perhaps the quest now should be to get a Manta into your hands for an i3 & 4090 combo build 🫣😅
Build turned out sick! Definitely doesn't look like a case from 7 years ago, bring it back NZXT!
Wise words from the The Tesseracts themselves 😁 stoked you enjoyed the build and thanks so much for being part of this… even with my 2007 letter approach! Maybe next time I’ll send a messenger pigeon 😂
Absolutely stunning. Great work as always!
The pleasure was all mine 😁 Keep up the great work too @intelgraphics. So exciting to see you progress and grow the Arc with each passing update!
Dude, your story telling is 10/10! Epic video, well done! :) 🔥🔥
But the colour theme is a bit of a blasphemy to team blue and team red, don't you think? 🤣🤣
Thanks so much my man! A real pleasure to have you on board with this one! Once I got over the tears of laughter that is 😅 Shhh, we don’t talk about the colour theme here 🫡🤫
Awesome video. Without doubt one of your best. Nice combo of comedy and art. True masterpiece 🌟
Thanks so much 😁🙏 a little different to my usual videos, but a great play on story telling with some like-minded friends right? Love it.

@@Mr_Matt_Lee haha fair enough, I can totally empathise with the pain of keeping a black car clean.

lengendary NZXT Manta
Great looking build. I remember the Mantas, been a minute since I have seen one. Love the intro, especially the clip with Tech Notice.
:)
Love the light on the back above the I/O. More cases should come with that.
I can’t stop watching Matt’s videos. Their so fun to watch and make me excited for my next build.
BRO!!! What a cool video! I loved the collabs and yes I noticed the "chopped" keychain lol I love it
Well spotted! 😁 You just can’t beat Mighty Car Mods. I subscribed to them when they had 750 followers ✌️
@@Mr_Matt_Lee That's awesome. I don't think I've followed them THAT long but it's been since they were in Marty's garage for sure. Love them.
Hands down.. My new FAVORITE youtube video 😎🤩🤩🤩 CLASSIC.. THANKS 👏🏾 MML ❤️
I've watched this two times, I love it Matt!
Man! I love this kind of content where you collaborated with other Ytubers, AWESOME MAN!!
Great video!
Dying to see the nostalgia build with Compucase 6A19 :)
Awesome video, I love the character you built around yourself, you are the John Wick of PC builds! You don't need words to make such an amazing content!
this video by far is gold....awesome video and such a great build. and YES NZXT should bring the case back!
love this video so much. the begining cracked me up so much ahah. nicely done. beautiful build! thanks for the video.
This build is gorgeous, thank you for your love for details, channel like yours inspire me to build awesome PCs for me and my friends, thank you Matt.
Congrats for 100k subs. I've seen this channel going 2x in a short time. Well deserved!
This is probably one of my fav videos from the pc builders community. I'd love to see a similar build with the Alienware R15!

Awesome opening. I just subbed to 3 creators I wasn't before thanks to this video.
Just picked this case up today!!! Can’t wait to build in it!
Thanks! This video is fun!!
Thank you so much, Jackie! Glad you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate the support. Have an awesome week and take care 😄
That was the best intro to a PC build video, hell probably the best intro I've ever seen period
Nice Production an build! Throws me back to my pc build start line.
It's just wonderful. Thank you for your time, the assembly is really beautiful. If I lived in your country, I would harden your assembly))
I have always loved this case!! I used to call it "The Whale" :D

This video is art, plain and simple. I'm calling it, you're taking off big one day!
Excellent video! I'd like to see more 2010 - 2015 cases with modern hardware builds 🙏
This gives me more of a reason to sell my mac and build a pc. Thank you Mr Matt Lee!
Sensational video. Love how you reached out to the other creators. Fantastic Build 🫶🏼
I'd love one
Thank you 😁 It’s a little known fact that a lot of us creators are great friends and regularly talk with each other. It was awesome to finally collab for the video 🙏
Ooof this is cool as hell and seeing the other creators makes it even more awesome 🎉

Still using this case since 2017 and its great
This is so great! Awesome video!
I never pogged so hard just from the thumbnail alone when it comes to tech. especially from my boy MATT LEE
Oh heck yes! Let’s go 😁👌 thank you!
I remember seeing the Manta case in so many videos during highschool.
I have watched so many of your videos and this one finally made me click subscribe. good job mate!
I really love your pc build videos, more power and more subs!
🙏
I'm using from 2017 / 2018 NZXT S340 ELITE, the red one.
Aesthetic design, slick. Happy, old but gold
loved to see those collabs
This is AMAZING. Love the insane work you put into these videos, GREAT JOB!
Wow what a amazing video great job Matt
Great builds and even better Shoes!!
Absolutely amazing work. Having trouble finding words describing the magnitude of how epic this was.
This is not your regular youtube video, this is an art piece
This is such an excellent pc build. I love it!
Very nice build. Awesome video ;-) Love cases like this ... and the color :D
I remember always wanting a Manta case when they were originally around. Always loved the design
what a beast!! awesome video Matt thank youuu keep it up!
This was nostalgic. Great build as always matt
Thanks Allen! 😁🫶
Best video of the channel 😂 The case still holds up very well tbh, nice build.
I found the car weirdly fitting even though I only know these build videos of you and nothing personal at all.
The video was nuts. Great storytelling and another pastime we have in common. Skateboarding in mini ramps.
Keep em coming. 🫶🏼
This whole video is a masterpiece! Nice to see everyone.
Wow that case definitely stands the test of time. Really interesting to see that radiator mounted above the internal chassis.
