    Just found you and this video and it has completely changed my outlook for my current build. It's like YT decided show me your video and say hey you've been doing some research and doing a couple of specs out for my next PC build look at this . Great job now I am really considering this option.

    I bought a black aluminum CNC cut "case" like this, from China (shipped from there and took about 2-3 weeks)
    Mine is vertical with the radiator behind the motherboard.
    I've been wanting to water cool it and have all the parts but life is too busy and I haven't got around to it.
    I think if I ever do it I'll angle it like this (make a custom base) because I love how this looks and the best part is you can slot the GC and still see the front of it. And what makes it even better is you really highlight cable management. Nothing like sweet looking visible cable management with custom sleeving and cable combs. Just shows the effort and looks sick.
    Love these 2 builds. Good stuff!

  • @EzaneeGires
    @EzaneeGires Місяць тому +1

    I love how discreet they make the PSU mounting such that an ATX size PSU meshes with the mobo. Quite elegant.
    With pricing the way it is, one can save some dough on PSU by getting an ATX.
    Of course that is offset somewhat by the cost of the case/frame

  • @MarigoldAW
    @MarigoldAW Місяць тому +1

    Awesome review! It honestly doesn't look too bad even with a big card sticking out. I know it's designed with smaller cards in mind but I wish they increased the size of the base a bit to prevent tipping. That would also lend itself well to having a vertically mounted card. Overall one of the more interestingly designed cases I've seen.

    • @haurjie
      @haurjie  Місяць тому +1

      Actually the base size is just fine, there's no tipping whatsoever. Even if there was a card bigger than the Strix 4090, longer by 50%, I guarantee you the physics of this current base would still not make it tip.

    Cant believe u didnt add benchmarks. With free airflow this case must be a killer

    • @haurjie
      @haurjie  Місяць тому +1

      I'll tell you why benchmarks don't matter in this video. This video is about the open air case product, not about the CPU, GPU, radiator, AIO, RAM, overclocking or motherboard at all. Actually take a moment and think about it... if I did test runs for this build, what does it tell you about the case? Absolutely nothing. Benchmarks would tell you the story about the CPU, GPU, fan speed settings etc, and pairing of these hardware. The Intel 14th gen CPUs and RTX 40-series cards have been out for how long? And every tech creator that does benchmarks does it with an open air testbench. If this was a CLOSED case, then yes, benchmarks would make more sense, because that would tell you how good the airflow and circulation temperatures would be. If I were to review an Intel 15th gen CPU or RTX 50-series as a launch video, then yeah, benchmarks would make sense for this open air case. But then again, that doesn't tell you anything about the case, it just tells you about the CPU, GPU and core components... Hope this makes sense.

    Cant you insert a couple little washers on the ssd retainment screws? i feel there is some sort of rubber groment or something to contain the ssd in place

    • @haurjie
      @haurjie  Місяць тому

      No there isn't. But even if the SSDs are dangling and hanging, it's actually not a problem. If I'm being honestly, I personally think finding a better mount for SSDs is more of an aesthetic improvement more so than a functional one haha

  • @hadys5096
    @hadys5096 Місяць тому

    i thought something, they could also add an extra add on for gpu holder for an anti sag for vertical mount, maybe something small for the base as the power button but with built in anti sag gpu holder, could be cool for longer gpu or just aesthetically
