No PSU, and sell three color variants. Or make the pieces removable and include all three in the package so people can decide for themselves.
Same opinion
I still don't understand why they keep trying to upsell a PSU in these cases. Everyone just wants the case. They would sell so much more if they stop trying to bundle these with other components.
pin this
@@xXCrimsonWolfXx752 the reason why is because sfx power supplies are always more anyways. So a 700 watt power supply is a good deal for sfx size. Also the amount of people that buy a regular power supply when you need sfx is a lot more than you think.
or just make the pieces removable but it only comes with one color and make the additional colors available for purchase. Just so the base case can be cheaper than if it had to include all 3 options.
Hello Dmitri, we're good people!
Hi Good people
@@HardwareCanucks no included power supply, in the us we can get 700 watt psu's for less then 110. I got mine a gold 850 fully modular for 80 bucks, only like 20 bucks off it's msrp. Also white looks the best, it's a shade not a color so it stays more neutral and white contrast the black better
@@hodgindaylon was that an sfx or atx psu? Because most sfx psu's cost way more that that
This guy has no clue about SFF. The only SFX PSU with 850w is from Coolermaster and costs at least 150$ since it's brand new on the market. It's not even in stock most of the time. My unit took over two months to come in stock and then be sent to me.
Case only. I dislike not being able to choose my own psu because oftentimes, companies cheap out on the power supply included. I'd rather just pick my own that fits my needs, even if it costs slightly more
It won't stop you from choosing your own power supply lol you can just replace it with your own if you really want the case that bad. Then you have an extra 700w gold sfx psu that you can do whatever with. $200 for both is a great deal once you see how much a gold rated 700w sfx psu is. For most people looking to build in an ITX case 700w would be enough and it saves them time and money with a pre installed psu with pre routed cables.
@@PabzRoz But then I'd throw the original PSU in the garbage (and there's already enough garbage in the world). Because I couldn't be bothered with reselling nor would I feel comfortable with selling some kid some off brand Chinese garbage PSU that has 700W 80+ Gold written on the side but can only provide 450W. If ibuypower would provide it with a 700W Seasonic or the Cooler Master 850W PSU I'd consider it but I doubt they could deliver those for the same price. The fact that they didn't disclose the potential OEM can have two reasons: 1. They don't know who will provide it yet or 2. the thing is some off brand POS. But being unclear on the matter really doesn't help.
@@CheapBastard1988 why would u throw it in the garbage? sell it lol u dumb?
@@zz_01001 cuz it's worth more then what u paid for it... wow the comments rlly are dumb
@@zz_01001 because it's worth more and you could easily sell it for more or it's always good to have a spare psu for testing potential issues and components? You do realize a 700w gold rated sfx psu is nearly $300 right now and we're literally in a time where psu's are overpriced and hard to come by...
I think that selling the mesh separately would be great! It could be a great way to customize it. I'd go for some more crazy colors too, like a bright green, pink, red, etc for like $15 each if that's profitable
I feel this might not be an option for them.. I mean they could totally have two versions with and without PSU, and it sounds to me they wanted to choose only one, not mentioning the mesh which more extensively complicates logistics and introduce more cost. Well it's just me guessing, maybe it's not a big deal for them to have all the options as they have a robust online direct sell platform.
A mesh material that size costs less than a dollar for them in bulk, most of the cost is shipping. Selling meshes is fine but I'd much rather make my own with a pair of scissors, magnets, and super glue rather than pay an extra $15 for already a $90-200 case.
Definitely option 1, 90 dollars/pounds would put this in a good spot against the competition
Option 1 is with PSU though, i guess you meant option 2 (no idea why he put option 1 on the right, it confused alot of people)
option 1 is with the psu option 1 is 200 it is confusing since they said option 2 first edit and say option 2
i choose no psu, so i can put my own high power one
There is a fairly big difference between 90 pounds and 90 USD
@@PaddyGun 1 pound = ~$1.40
this is literally ticking every single one of my boxes right now, this is the case I have been waiting for for so long
Ssup meshlicious be like 😑 bruh. Compare to this case, ssup will dominate this
@@NamelessPassenger Never heard of the Ssup before, thanks mate!, oh wait edit... you can't have a full length GPU and have an HDD in the Ssup case. so nvm that won't work for me
Case manufacturer should collaborate with Dimitri and make case based on recommendations from Dimitri. That would be great.
Nah lian li at it colabing with der8awer instead of Steve or Dimitri :D
The Dimitri by Dimitri Mark I
There is no other way
@@rere439 the o-11 dynamic would like to have a word with you
In case of ITX-cases, Ali aka Optimum Tech would be the better choice, he specialises in them.
For $90 that looks like a great budget sff case. Well done... (Case alone / Black)
for 90 dollars you can buy a trusted brand, with better design features
@@Rem_NL such as...
@@ColeMarkusen The only SFF casew that comes to my mind at that price is the NR200. And if we are looking at this vertical layout, the competition at 90$ it is non existent, unless you buy products from China. I like the case, but I am no t a fan of the shape of the cutouts and the "mesh".
Finally something different.
I would like to have all the meshes included. Case only. I want to choose my PSU.
My favorite part of this case is definitely the storage options and where they are placed and how they are implemented. Great job on that
Without PSU this seems like one of the best budget sff cases around, will definitely be looking into this one. Having the headphone holder built in and handle is a pleasant surprise.
I would say don’t include the psu because for $90 that is one hell of a deal. Silver would also be my go to just to have some difference in colour instead of just mostly black
And a case with a 750W 80+ Gold Power Supply for 200 USD ain't a deal in itself?
@@dorientjewoller113 exactly, gonna have to buy a PSU anyway, an SFF one at that. If it's a good quality PSU it's totally worth it.
if you actually did the math and didn't do a stupid assumption, the PSU is only $110. I personally want no psu, but maybe they should make an option if you want a psu or not in the order page.
@@dorientjewoller113 nope, got a 850 gold fully modular for 80 bucks.
@@hodgindaylon You, just like the guy above you, are not alone in the world.
This is one step forward for iBuyPower and one step forward for mini ITX PC builders.
The gold mesh looks pretty nice imo
Uhh, a gold and black/dark grey case would be dope. Reminds me of Deus Ex Human Revolution
Case only!
Great video format, the visual cues and dimensions were definitely better than any case manual out there
No psu and black mesh. Love their usb c idea!
I think I speak for everyone when I say option one and black mesh because it keeps the price down and keeps it looking SLEEK
Option 2 is the case only.
option 2 is case only
With all the warm lighting in your shoot, the gold looks amazing.
I used to believe that it should be relatively simple to bring along your PC while traveling, until I actually did it. So now I appreciate a case that offers some level of portability.
No power supply and in black. The cheaper case is easier to buy for lower income builders and becomes more competitive by targeting a larger demographic. If you force an included power supply, buyers will look at other cases in the $175-200 spot and potentially buy a more premium case instead.
Dmitri, please just make your own case, you know what the people want
go look at Gamers Nexus explanation video of why its a logistical nightmare.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 Now that you say it, I could see that being a problem.
Your cinematics is looking fire! :)
Finally a SFF case that has space for a 3.5" drive that doesn't cut down on GPU space. That alone shot this case to the top of my list.
Option 2, SFX 700W PSU are hard to find these days, but I hate those cables too. I had avoided EVGA SFX PSU because those cables are hard to manage and you have to pay $100 for custom cables in the end, I rather pay for the Corsair SFX PSU just to have nice cables out of the box.
SF750 is the best SFX PSU. Let's see what Seasonic is cooking on the oven... It has been said something about a 850 plat.
700w... corsair does not make a 700w...
@@UltraDXSASC I think Seasonic announce back in CES 2019 one SFX PSU with Titanium rating.
100 dollars for custom cables no way they're only like less than 50 for branded ones
@@ramorinestore6796 That's what I listen but no more info abour
Everybody wants just the case for $90 until they buy it and realize how much a 700w sfx PSU is let alone gold rated AND comes pre installed with pre routed cables saving you time... $200 is a much better deal even if you wanted to replace it with your own PSU.
case only homie. keep up the great work!
Thoughts: No mesh or replace with a fine mesh at intake points because functionality and convenience outweigh appearance. I would prefer an included PSU with pre-routed cables to make the build process accessible to more people. I would ask that the cables be standard wire, but in a sleeve, for better flexibility and fit. It’s refreshing to see a company make a case for function over RGB bling, just please retool the 240mm fan/rad door to allow slide adjustments over the entire door length. This would increase compatibility in AIO models due to tank/expansion size variance. Amazing case, thank you for the opportunity to provide input in the development process.
Have a great day sir!
Can't wait for Optimum Tech to build a beastly full loop system inside this case.
What type of Optimum Tech is this? :D
Defo case only option, nice to see the manufacturer listening to feedback as well.
Could be a great budget ITX option soon.
man that headphone mount is genius, while it doesnt look custom water cooling will work, i do like this case for on the go
I prefer no psu, if I don’t need one there isn’t a reason to add one in. For the mesh, hard to beat the black on black but I personally do love that silver highlighted look
Meshlicious Review? :( I really wanna see your take on it!
Case only is the best option.
It's refreshing to see SFF cases with adequate airflow capability, although configurations could still be better. Maybe ultra-SFF case manufacturers take the same approach.
To answer the first question, I think going 200 bucks with PSU is the way to go. A lot of the people who go ITX are people who are dipping their toes in for the first time and don't really have SFX power supplies lying around. People who do come from ITX already on the other hand, would at least get a new one as well. But ultimately, I don't see why they can't just do both.
Sweet!!
They need to get rid of the cheese "ibuypower" branding
Yeah I agree, even the brands lamborghini, rolex and ferrari are way too cheesy. They should get rid of that too
Well I'm not a fan of branding either and the iBuypower logo is very cheesy but it's applied in a subtle way so I wouldn't call it a dealbreaker.
Very good design, price is very affordable. Thanks for your introduction, will try to get one.
The black and gold looks amazing, looks very unique.
Power supplies are hard to find, I'd probably buy as a combo.
For first question. I would recommend they sell both with power supply and standalone version so people with different needs can get what they want.
For question 2. I would recommend going with silver colour mesh. I like silver colour so much.
Case Only, please! Great review. Thank you!
I’d personally prefer the case only.
Putting a power supply pushes the market toward new users who are building their first pcs and people who are downsizing, while keeping it case only you have all the people who want an itx case [aka no need to select for a niche within a niche (sff lovers) within a niece (pc builders)], putting it in line with the nr200p and the SSUPD as far as price goes.
If people really want an easier experience iBuyPower can always redirect them toward their prebuilt services.
And if the H1 thought us something is “more stuff=more points of failure”
with all the effort they put into making that included PSU function well, I can appreciate the value added with that option. Especially since it supports a standard form factor for future replacement if anything goes wrong with it.
The black is a safe color since most people would want black mesh to go with the black case. People could always spray paint the mesh with whatever color they want since it's removable.
$90 without the PSU would be more competitive and give people options. Who the PSU OEM would be and what warranty support included is important. Some people may want more than 700 watts and others may be picky about fan noise from the unit. Custom length, pre-routed cables are convenient, but not necessary in a 19L case. I do fine with stock cables in my
I like the case with the power supply. Makes it easy to get into the itx space so anyone can just get this and an its board and they are set. Using the things they already own.
From a business stand point, iBuypoer should go with both No-PSU and with-PSU options. Let the butey choose which one they'll purchase. That way those with PSU's (or have a different PSU in mind) aren't locked out from purchasing, while those without any PSU's available won't have to worry getting one.
Nice to see some thought has been put into this, too many case manufacturers are rehashing old designs and cutting corners.
Kudos to them for the USB-C option, if your board has a header then it's the best way to go, and if it doesn't you can still plug into the rear port. If your board doesn't have that then you won't care either way, though.
If you're one of the 3 people who already own an SFX power supply, then bare-bones is a great option. I'd be leaning toward the PSU inclusive option, if it were a good model. The price difference looks to be spot-on the cost of a comparable PSU.
As for that mesh panel, either do away with it completely or replace it with a proper mesh filter.
They should offer both buying options, for those who already have an ITX system and want to swap(Case only) and I think its the best budget ITX case ive seen.
Option 2 for me... I would love to see purchasable bright color meshes for reasonable prices and stock black. Like you could buy colors like cyan, green or red. That would spice up things...
No PSU option for a much lower cost will incentivize people who already have an itx build to switch cases but the PSU option makes it easier for people who have never built a sff pc or a pc at all.
Ultimately I think it will be easier to bring in more customers with the no PSU option since people really interested in the case will still be able to source their own power supply if they need to.
Would love the case by itself and that black and gold option looks amazing
Depends on the quality of that psu and price when included. That's going to be the biggest question. A good price with a solid quality psu included would be a GREAT option
I enjoy all the mini itx cases, personally I prefer non-perforated, chimney-style cases, but I see why someone would find this compelling. Good job and nice design!
seems like a well thought out case, the handle and the headphone holder are amazing and the lack of extension cable is great. My only gripe is that it's too large to be portable comfortably. I would love to see a mini version with more limited gpu and cooler compatibility and sfx psu only to for people that like to optimize space as much as possible.
2021 = year of the vertical ITX cases
I really like both options but if I had to choose it would be option #1, however option #2 is very appealing with having a 700w with custom length cables. Stick with the black filters but sell the silver and gold and possibly more colors down the road as options like the color front panels Fractal does for the Meshify cases.
This channel deserves 5M subs.
If they made a version with the power supply and case i would buy that but it makes a lot more sense to just make the case with the three different mesh options
I'd vote no PSU. I'm from South Africa so i doubt I'll ever even see this case, but if you are in the ITX/SFF space already I'd imagine you have a PSU already.
And with the Cooler Master SFX PSU's coming out more and more it should be far easier to find a well priced one.
This also REALLY reminds me of an upright NR200, down to the size even.
Edit: It's literally a vertical NR200 without the "bottom" rad, which is actually an awesome thing. Glad there is another player in SFF market.
I think I'd like to see Case Alone/Black. However If you are going to include a power supply I'd hope it'd be a fully modular one!
Loveeee the USB-C idea!
I like how computers are moving toward looking like consoles!
Yeah, this looks like a great case. I would love either all three meshes in the box, or the option to purchase them after at a reasonable cost.
Case only! Mesh available separately, that way you could paint them to create your own look. Include internal usb-c cable
As for the included PSU's cables. It's a little bit of extra work, but if you carefully split all the cables apart it makes them 10x easier to work with. I did this once with an ITX build with a Corsair PSU that had those fused style cables.
Split all the cables and then used a few pieces of velcro tape around each one to make them neat and tidy again and then was able to work with them very easily after that.
I would really love to try this one. The traditional non-vertical mount GPU setup is such a plus for me.
Also, the no PSU option and all black mesh is what I prefer.
It's a bit late to chime in on 'case only' vs 'case + PSU' (both configurations are apparently being sold now), but I'd go with the former because I will not use a power supply that isn't highly rated by the Cultists Network. I do like the Revolt 3 however, and I might just pick one up. Thank you, Dmitry (for ALL your reviews). 👍
Case only. Black front. Clean up the front io (as in, remove everything but the power button, also replace that power button). Remove the brand on the front, it's horrible, horrible stuff. If you have to have your brand on it at least shorten it to iBPWR or whatever. Interior looks basically perfect imo, but don't underestimate how much sff-enthusiasts appreciate "clean" exterior designs. There's a reason why stupidly expensive cases like the Louqe Ghost S1 and Sligers are even relevant, and why the Meschilicous will be successful. They look fantastic and are functional, that's it. It's shocking how few case-makers have managed to figure this out. Cooler Master seems to have solved this mysterious riddle with the NR200, which is a massive hit.
The case looks interesting. I would say case only on that option, so people can freely choose their own powersupply and not feel locked into the one that comes with it. As for the other option, I personally like the gold (gives a kind of bronze look poking through the case), but I would say give people an option (even if it costs more or the other colors are sold separately and then the user replaces it)
Case only. Integrated power supplies are convenient. But: 1.) ITX builders tend to be advanced builders that aren't going to be satisfied with a 'good enough' power supply. 2.) It's extremely tough to have pre-routed cables that work for every board; its a routine top complaint for pre-routed cases of any size. 3.) It has a high likelihood of causing assembly issues or other problems (looks at NZXT) that will cause major headaches all-around. It can be done, but I don't think it's worth the effort.
This looks like its going to give fantastic competition to the SSUPD and I really like that handle and headphone stand. I think the 90 dollar option with a removable front mesh is the way to go.
Case only, black mesh, gimme gimme gimme!
For real though, I'm kinda loving this in concept at least. Other than no ATX PSU support, this seems more appealing than the SSUPD due to mesh all around instead of a TG panel, riserless design, and lower price. I've got the SSUPD on order but I might have to replace it with this when it becomes available.
I'm really liking the ITX tower trend. Smaller footprint means less desk clutter or even putting it next to the TV without looking too out of place.
Option 2, case in white with the gold/bronze mesh.
I agree with sentiments below, make mesh something you can purchase alone.
I feel like having both options would be great. I felt the same way when the NZXT H1 came out it would've been nice to have both options if possible. But if only had to pick one I would go with option #1 for just the case!
The case with a PSU, not only that SFX-L PSUs get super expansive and finding one can be a royal PITA, most people don't have one already unless they already have an ITX system in which case they probably wont upgrade anyway
Need more like this portable travelling desktop system a complete setup like monitor,keybd,mouse and cpu
Great and informative review as always.
Personally I would like the package unit. As long as the cables are well routed. For my office, the gold/ copper mesh would look best since that is my accent color.
Looks amazing iBuyPower!!!!
I'm for Case only (PSU - thing that everyone can choose for their own). Frontal mesh, as for me - "gold" great option, really cool looking.
Option 1 please.
This case AND a (80-plus GOLD rated) 700W SFX PSU would cost significantly north of $200 US.
This would also eliminate the cable management headaches of having to route those PSU cables yourself.
finally, a good itx case that sells under 100. It would be perfect for a small budget gaming build
In my opinion, Ibuypower should have both the standalone and the kit with the power supply, you can tackle both the market of new small form factor enthusiasts and give Justin closure to those who already have an sfx power supply
From further inspection, this looks pretty much like what you'd get if you rotated the NR200 by 90 degrees - which seems like an interesting route to go for ITX cases I think it's priced really well, especially given that the clearest competition I see is the Meshilicous which is $20 more, but given the concerns you've pointed out, I'm kinda unsure about actually going for this case in the event I actually get around to serious purchase territory (which, given the current stock situation, seems like a distant dream).
Also, I think the $90 option without the PSU is the superior one, puts it in really competitive territory.
I'd say the front mesh in copper colour would look super cool!
I would definitely buy this thing. Way to go IBUYPOWER!
All the meshes look great
Thanks for the video! I’d love to see the case only option in silver!
I hope they do the option for just the case at $90. I will definitely buy this case at that price. I currently have an H1 but this would allow for better future expansion. The ability to not need a riser is amazing.
case only. some people might already have a PSU, and there's no guarantee that whatever iBuyPower shoved in there is a quality PSU. I'd rather buy a PSU from a known brand and model rather than paying for the unknown. Or perhaps better, sold the case in both variant.
Color experimentation is always a choice for me, so try gold out. don't be another NZXT H1 case or some other myriad of cases out there, be yourself.
Case only is def what I want, for the mesh black would be my go to
As a new PC user ( made my ITX in October) I thinks having a case coming with a PSU is better , a SFX 700W gold for 110$ there is no way to find it . For beginners having cable pre-route and an included PSU is a must to have !
With the psu would give it a competitive price, and save the effort and possible added costs of finding a powerful enough psu that fits in the case - and with pre-routed cables as well; but selling it without the psu would make it more widely available and more personal, and give it more of an appeal for those who already have PCs, but the psi would be better for new builders or people who don’t have an itx psu.
I feel like most people would be coming from a standard atx form factor to trying out a case like this, meaning that they wouldn't have a psu, so I think that's reason enough to include it! It was a nice part of the H1 that didnt catch on fire afterall! The cable routing being easier also improves the most annoying aspect of building mini itx! So I think the included psu would be well worth it for the bump in MSRP!
Option 1
Should add radiator support to the front of the case as well to make this case a great option for watercoolers too
SFX-L power supplies are rarely in stock! It would be great to come with one. Silver mesh looks great! Give it a two-tone.
No PSU, and full black! Great looking case
Great video, I’m a little late but: Case only with optional PSU. Black front dust cover with optional mesh colors. Ditch the carry handle and make room for a 120mm top exhaust fan or mounting bracket for a rear exhaust fan
The no psu variant white color 😍 a good case for custom loop thinkers
Definitely prefer option 1 to have a standalone case. The only benefit I could see to selling with an included power supply is if they are planning on integrating the cable runs into the design, but that wouldn't really work for a case designed for flexibility.
