It’s okay to disagree with the premise, the price or have constructive criticism, but please be respectful.
I get it. I have a Xikii keyboard case from nearly a decade ago - had to find a proxy to import it, took forever, cost a ton, and only fits a now outdated keyboard... I love it, and it's the most interesting piece in my collection.
@@S.T33L that's why this PC is best for you. If you're familiar with business, you know there's supply and demand. Right now there's supply of this product, but what about the future? They won't make this anymore, and that makes the supply of if low. As God of economic says, low supply mean high price. Buy this product now, in 5 years it's going to be expensive, sell it for a profit.

Yeah, this is definitely a luxury item for someone with lots of disposable cash and an itch for pretty things. I'm unfortunately, only the latter. Thanks for the review.
I prefer 'quiet' builds in mid size cases for desktop gaming. But this case would be perfect for saving space when I install it in that sailing yacht I also can't afford.
I'd like something like this for the prettiest GPU, the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 590 Special Edition. Outdated card, but doesn't matter if it's for looks lol
I am gonna kick my PC under the desk and never see it again unless it needs maintenance I honestly don't understand the whole "pretty" thing why the hell would I put a noise generating machine near my monitors or even worse when somebody has rgb in it WHY THE HELL WOULD I ILIKE A RANDOM USELESS LIGHT DISTRACTING ME for what purpose
You can actually connect anything you need, its designed to route out of that slot along the bottom. The website shows it better. You'd have to lift or tip the case every time you add or remove anything though
I can tell the type of person to buy this case would hide ports so he'd probably buy a 10-15 port dongle and drill or glue it to the bottom of his desk.
Picking a single good-looking piece of hardware to design a complete build around (and actually pull it off competently) is peak. I hope we see more of this in the SFF space.
I don't. who's actually buying these? Zero upgrade path and basically locked into a single generation of card...awful idea. But it looks pretty, will make a great paper weight.
@@traderjo9552People who want to? The whole reason this thing is available for purchase in the first place is because when the creator posted a picture showing it off as a passion project people said they wanted to buy it
I think people don't understand why products like these are $600. It's not $600 because of cost, it's $600 because almost nobody buys something like this. It's super niche.
Sir its 600 because there is expenses in the forms for all the materials that's extruded and then machined afterwards setup cost etc... it expensive but as an engineer I understand it jigs and fixtures etc cost too.... I can't justify it though my self.... I want something similar but id say 300 is more likely to make more sales maybe as more sell they may lower price
Holy SHIT this is clean. I appreciate the clarity on the project since a lot of people aren't huge on the price, but you hit the nail on the head. This is far more an art piece than a PC, and wow is it a spectacle
It IS beautiful. If I was considering a painting or object d'art for a few grand, I would consider this instead. To buy it as a functional small gaming PC - no thanks! I still love my Lian Lee Lancool II with my 7950X and RTX 3800.
This really reminds me of the Louqe Raw s1, notably the internal layout & the base. Obviously the panel assembly & overall ease of use here is much better/elegant. Awesome case & excellent video, as always!
my passion lies in the area of custom water cooling but you have made me absolutely love air cooling. I'm new to your channel and thrilled to now be subscribed. I have started watching through your other videos and recommending this channel to others I know due to how impressed I have been so far. Thank you for broadening my horizons and showcasing pure beauty in the form of nothing short of genius engineering and design.
Amazing. SO beautiful. I don't think I've upgraded ANY of my old machines. I build them bleeding tech, when they are outdated (sometimes up to 5 years later) then it's time for a whole new machine anyway.
What a case... Beautifull! This is indeed a nice SFF pc. Everything just fits to the MM. Love to see something so good engineered. I have my SFF custom watercooled pc build on a Cougar Dust 2 case.
It looks amazing! But at this price point, who is really considering a 4080 just for its looks? It really is a work of art and a niche product, as you said. I hope it comes with an air compressor to blow out all the dust that will inevitably accumulate every week.
The creator of that case genuinely deserves a standing ovation. And you deserve a round of applause yourself for putting it together lol. Especially without any noticeable scratches. Nice find and excellent presentation. Keep up the solid content! You got a sub out of me.
The case alone is $600... Cool? Yes. I think it's still a bit steep though. A person who has to save up for those cards are going to be less likely to wait longer and save for a $600 case, especially one that size, bore bones and proprietary. Definitely as niche as it gets. Wanna swap the GPU? PSU die and can't find the exact replacement? Too bad.
Lmfao this product in no way was made or marketed toward that type of buyer 😂 SFF is not for the poors. You are paying more money for less features on parts to experience a terrible building experience and thermal throttling anything mid to high end. Think about it like Min Maxing in diablo or any mmo, anyone who starts doing that is late game grinding and not having fun the way the typical player is doing it.
a case like this is absolutely not made for someone who has to save up for pc parts. I'm pretty sure that the ones buying it aren't building it, just paying someone to do the job for them
@@armandocardona6975 Small Form Factor (SFF) builds don't necessarily have to cost more or thermal throttle any more than a standard build. My ASRock A620I Lightning Wi-Fi motherboard and Xproto case were both around $150, which are pretty typical prices. You could argue that standard PC cases are usually cheaper, but motherboards for regular PCs can also easily cost $200. Apart from that, you might pay a slight premium for the power supply, but that's about it. ATX PSUs were around $100, while I paid about $130 for my SFX PSU. So, overall, going with an SFF build doesn't have to be significantly more expensive, depending on your choices, of course.
You get what you pay for. CNC machining is just a very expensive process compared to folding and cutting metal sheets. edit: yes i know that CNC machines are technically just anything computer automated machines, but to the context of this video, it would be closer to multi-axis milling machining, and most references to CNC machines are to milling machining
Near perfect thermals in something smaller than a shoebox says that "functionality matters" to me. Not saying it's cost effective but this thing rocks.
@@ldm125 Great point. I was looking at it from a compatibility perspective. The card in there looks and behaves great. A founders flow through card would be fine but wouldn't perform as well.
@@jeremytine yeah everything can always be better but think about how much money and time you had to put into your system to get that result. To be clear I'm talking about the fact that the car is pulling as fresh of air as possible means it will cool at peak for its cooler.

This feels like a pretty case with really mid functionality, made for someone to review on youtube if anything.

3:28 only a single usb C? puh, did not expect hat at this price point. i have a DA 6 XL and i miss already some standard cases whch have some more ports. i still use them almost every day, added a dock now, but thats against alle desk asthetic rules. i love this one, but would rather go and add another DA6 for my office.
@@andrewgreen8383 To people who do a lot of typing work for hours and like to treat themselves, those keyboards are more than worth it, while also being a great collectible. For me it makes work more enjoyable and I tend to procrastinate less about doing it, which to me is priceless.
@@NOTNAFilms it is the lower end lol, just cause keyboards "have become cheaper recently", therefore, more entry level options are available (some crazy cheap ones on aliexpress and taobao etc for like 30-40$), it doesn't change the fact 600 is what you'd pay for the case alone of a keyboard. add some rare switches for 100 and rare keycaps for 150-300 (Some GMKs are crazy expensive, Cerakey ceramic ones are around 150 too), and you'll end up with over 1000$. And there are cases that cost 1000 alone. Plus if you get into artisan keycaps you'd be paying 150$ for a spacebar. For example a Mammoth75 with a Brass PVD mirror is $750. A Zero Great Sword ends up being 550-600 with duty and shipping. A used Pixelspace Capsule goes for 500-600 easily, used.
@@xanira6367 yeah like, if I'm paying this much show me the cnc marks!! i wanna see the care and precision that went into making it! or like, idk, vapor hone the surface and clear anodize over that, *something*.
Very strange product. Someone wanted to make something unique and then tried to sell it without thinking who is this for. Bad business decision, especially bad for consumers.
I love the look. It's beautiful. I don't think I would buy it even if I had more than 84 cents. Zero protection from the elements for that GPU. Zero noise reduction. Very high cost. For $600 they could have included a cheap tool to reach that part one needs to reach to use it. Also working with only a couple of GPUs and a single PSU model? So basically as soon as you want or need to change your GPU, you are FRAKED. If the PSU needs replacement, you are FRAKED. IF you can't find the same exact models available any more. $600 down the drain. Only one USB port at the front and all the motherboard's ports at the bottom of the case... Again aesthetically it's beautiful. The artist inside me loves this. I wouldn't buy it though. The idea of building a desktop PC for very limited specific hardware and nothing else, feels me with a reflex of me saying GTFO to it. If someone (yeah I know) gifted it to me, I would cherish it and keep it long after it was dead. Since that obviously is not going to happen, pass. Thanks for the video and bravo to the people who made it for trying something different.
Woah! Just bought a Pro Art 4080 Super and can't seem to cram it into my Dan A4 H2O. Found this while searching for a possible solution and I am glad that I did. The GPU is a work of art to begin with, but this case is next level! A Masterpiece! second to nothing out there. But - the price! Maybe I can get XiKii to sign it, and then I will for sure consider buying this brilliant work of art. Amazing!
Always wanted small pc, but avoid them because of heat problems. But this one… I bloody love how it looks like. If I had extra money (like I used to), I would buy this setup.
Wow, that's an idea that evolves computer mod to an art. We need more of these concept art, still would love if they try to innovate on heat dissipation and cable management.
"Allows you to put your finger directly INTO the GPU fans? NICE. Just what I always wanted. Hey, you know what, I want to be FORCED to buy this exact GPU and PSU, great idea. Oh wait, let's ensure the fans are not muffled in ANY way! and whilst we're at it, screw it, charge me too much too."....said no-one. Lol. You'd have to be a mug to buy this.
I mean, it's very cool if you have that specific GPU and never plan on upgrading. lol Otherwise the case is completely moot. If you built a case specifically for any GPU, it would fit like a glove and look amazing, but it's just not practical.
I got mine 3 days ago, I specifically ask for the first version of this case bucause it has more front io and he told me he might have one from previous stock, I just got lucky and was able to get the previous generation, he's a awesome dude.
I bought the last unit of this batch from Taobao, where this case is primarily sold. There are many rumours saying that this will be the last batch, similar to previous premium Xikii cases. I was lucky to get it after someone canceled their order. In hindsight, I was dumb to pay for it, and I definitely wouldn't recommend spending close to 900 AUD on a case no matter how good it will be.
You can use medical rubber turniket which is basically a thin strip of 1 mm thick rubber that's perfect for isolating vibration. Every fan-chassis mount should have a rubber spacer.
It's crazy that the widest side of this case looks like a front of a midtower (minitorer?), not only because of the width, but especially because of the 3 fans.

Finally a classy case that shows off the GPU. Love it.
A man of taste. Glad to see the finals on here
Honestly ~3k for such a beautiful and powerful setup is a great deal. Id consider it if my system was about to die
That looks amazing, great review!
My 1st thought upon seeing the GPU is what happens to the "esthetic" when you upgrade to the RTX 5000 series in a few months...
Hopefully new back plates will be available to order.
It wont even fit.
i loved how u show us the sound of the fan compering to mouse click
Have fun dusting your GPU out
I love the twenty one pilots jumpsuit music at the start 😍
3:28 only a single usb C? puh, did not expect hat at this price point. i have a DA 6 XL and i miss already some standard cases whch have some more ports. i still use them almost every day, added a dock now, but thats against alle desk asthetic rules. i love this one, but would rather go and add another DA6 for my office.
reminds me of the keyboard market and how theres $500 keyboard cases alone
Welllll I would agree, but keyboards also require less parts to build, so it makes more sense to splurge on one part.
as cool as those fancy keyboards look and sound, I’ll never understand how people drop that crazy amount of money just to type lol
@@andrewgreen8383 To people who do a lot of typing work for hours and like to treat themselves, those keyboards are more than worth it, while also being a great collectible. For me it makes work more enjoyable and I tend to procrastinate less about doing it, which to me is priceless.
Waiting for the October batch. Thanks for posting this.
I actually use ProArt products professionally. This is going to look beautiful on my desk.
600$ holy moly
I think it is justifiable, the much of passion and engineering went to it. Heck people spend 600$ on keyboards these days...
@@tadasnever 600 is the lower end. 600 would the the keyboard case without switches, keycaps, artisan keys and all the other mods and upgrades.
hey if its your thing more power to you. It was more than i expected
@@ciprianrobo 600 is not the lower end for keyboards at all. Custom keyboards have become far far cheaper in the last 2 years.
@@NOTNAFilms it is the lower end lol, just cause keyboards "have become cheaper recently", therefore, more entry level options are available (some crazy cheap ones on aliexpress and taobao etc for like 30-40$), it doesn't change the fact 600 is what you'd pay for the case alone of a keyboard. add some rare switches for 100 and rare keycaps for 150-300 (Some GMKs are crazy expensive, Cerakey ceramic ones are around 150 too), and you'll end up with over 1000$.
And there are cases that cost 1000 alone. Plus if you get into artisan keycaps you'd be paying 150$ for a spacebar.
For example a Mammoth75 with a Brass PVD mirror is $750. A Zero Great Sword ends up being 550-600 with duty and shipping.
A used Pixelspace Capsule goes for 500-600 easily, used.
8:45 what wallpaper is that? I love it!
they made this beautiful billet aluminum case then...powder coated it black?? thats truly a decision lol
Yeah I gotta agree, charging that much for a (seemingly) well crafted piece and then using low grade surface finishing is a bit... Eh...
@@xanira6367 yeah like, if I'm paying this much show me the cnc marks!! i wanna see the care and precision that went into making it! or like, idk, vapor hone the surface and clear anodize over that, *something*.
Very strange product. Someone wanted to make something unique and then tried to sell it without thinking who is this for. Bad business decision, especially bad for consumers.
@@sys-administrator imo it's just not really doing the price justice with powder coating of all things
@@MrTeknown its more of a passion for art then business
The form factor makes it super easy to hose down when it gets dirty
A $600 case that will soon be outdated with the next generation of cards in a few months is "peak sfx"
Outstanding bud, well done.
I wish they make a gpu cover with this case for safety
That's super clean. I love how the GPU blends in to the case. I wonder if asus would ever make prebuilt pc like this?
Nice, I have that same Focusrite, audio clarity is amazing.
I love the look. It's beautiful.
I don't think I would buy it even if I had more than 84 cents. Zero protection from the elements for that GPU. Zero noise reduction. Very high cost. For $600 they could have included a cheap tool to reach that part one needs to reach to use it.
Also working with only a couple of GPUs and a single PSU model? So basically as soon as you want or need to change your GPU, you are FRAKED. If the PSU needs replacement, you are FRAKED. IF you can't find the same exact models available any more. $600 down the drain.
Only one USB port at the front and all the motherboard's ports at the bottom of the case...
Again aesthetically it's beautiful. The artist inside me loves this. I wouldn't buy it though. The idea of building a desktop PC for very limited specific hardware and nothing else, feels me with a reflex of me saying GTFO to it. If someone (yeah I know) gifted it to me, I would cherish it and keep it long after it was dead. Since that obviously is not going to happen, pass.
Thanks for the video and bravo to the people who made it for trying something different.
i wouldn't have said it better , thanks !
This is the beautiful PC case I ever seen ❤❤❤ I love this channel
God that looks clean
Idk how you came across this but thankyou for making this video. Even though I cant afford this thanks for showing it.
dawg as soon as i saw your face staring at the pc, it was instant dislike, dont be weird and cringe
Woah! Just bought a Pro Art 4080 Super and can't seem to cram it into my Dan A4 H2O. Found this while searching for a possible solution and I am glad that I did. The GPU is a work of art to begin with, but this case is next level! A Masterpiece! second to nothing out there. But - the price! Maybe I can get XiKii to sign it, and then I will for sure consider buying this brilliant work of art. Amazing!
That case is 600$. It makes the rest of the ITX tax (PSU, Mobo, etc.) look... small. It's also not very revolutionary.
Always wanted small pc, but avoid them because of heat problems.
But this one… I bloody love how it looks like. If I had extra money (like I used to), I would buy this setup.
Thanks showing it.
Your hobby let me save some money :) Cuz I’ve never been about the process, but more about result.
I bet ASUS will hire those guys for a show-piece rig for their next hardware launches
P.S. XiKii just made an RTX 4060 LP version of this case, and its so small! I will save up for that one
Wow, that's an idea that evolves computer mod to an art. We need more of these concept art, still would love if they try to innovate on heat dissipation and cable management.
"Allows you to put your finger directly INTO the GPU fans? NICE. Just what I always wanted. Hey, you know what, I want to be FORCED to buy this exact GPU and PSU, great idea. Oh wait, let's ensure the fans are not muffled in ANY way! and whilst we're at it, screw it, charge me too much too."....said no-one.
Lol. You'd have to be a mug to buy this.
Yep
Amen
Truly a piece of art 🤌🏻
I mean, it's very cool if you have that specific GPU and never plan on upgrading. lol Otherwise the case is completely moot.
If you built a case specifically for any GPU, it would fit like a glove and look amazing, but it's just not practical.
This is the most beautiful pc I have ever seen no cap😍
imagine the dust.
Awesome case. Love it! Never seen this quality before. Wish more companies do something like this.
What are the temps?
he literally talked about the temps in the video buddy :DD
@ oops sorry must have skipped the most important part. Thanks!
I got mine 3 days ago, I specifically ask for the first version of this case bucause it has more front io and he told me he might have one from previous stock, I just got lucky and was able to get the previous generation, he's a awesome dude.
I bought the last unit of this batch from Taobao, where this case is primarily sold. There are many rumours saying that this will be the last batch, similar to previous premium Xikii cases. I was lucky to get it after someone canceled their order. In hindsight, I was dumb to pay for it, and I definitely wouldn't recommend spending close to 900 AUD on a case no matter how good it will be.
I purchased one last week. So I’m glad I didn’t dawdle... I agree with every sentiment you mentioned!
08:23 what are the cases?
I think I'm interested in the white one.
may I ask the software name on top of the screen at 7:50 ?
You can use medical rubber turniket which is basically a thin strip of 1 mm thick rubber that's perfect for isolating vibration. Every fan-chassis mount should have a rubber spacer.
WHAT a piece of art - simply stunning.
Always a pleasure to watch your vids.. and I love formd t1 e-white 😊
I think this is a great inspiration. Someone might look at it and then go and design a unique case around some other GPU, just for themselves.
It's crazy that the widest side of this case looks like a front of a midtower (minitorer?), not only because of the width, but especially because of the 3 fans.
one of the most beautiful builds ive seen for a professional environment. too expensive for me but beautiful
