Did someone mention Scrapyard Wars?...
*hype*
when is it?
8:14 i cri
+Memesy yesterday
+LinusSexTips •_•
The last scrapyard wars felt like a big let down, the overall format changed and felt more clean and planned (which sounds nice but not very scrapyardy). Also that hobo dude was weird af xD
Wow Luke, great reviews, keep it up, proud of you.
cue dank music, and ethans sensual fupa dance
+Jordan Smith and clicking mechanical keyboard sound
coming from h3h3 latest video, and then click this + your comment = win
me 2 just watched h3 xD
fupas out for luke
Would love to see a showdown between this case, the NCASE M1, Silverstone RVZ02, and Fractal Node 202.
right? me too!
Ncase m1 ftw
and the cougar qbx itx case. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811553020
I second that!
Ncase is great but its hella expensive
Great review Luke. The comment about how the Dan case compares to even bigger cases in functionality really put things into perspective. The case is just awesome, is incredibly small. and built very very well. Nice work Luke and Dan.
And that was the last we saw of Luke
To those who complains about the price, understand this:
- A significant portion of the price is the cost of the PCIe extension cable. Good-quality cables are expensive. You could find cheaper cables but those suck.
- It is an enthusiast case made in small numbers. Small runs of things always cost more. It is therefore not fair to compare it to mass-market products. You should compare it to other similar products. One of those is the NCASE M1 which costs $185 _now_ but cost over $200 when it was introduced.
If you don't think this case is worth it for you, then it is not for you. Simple as that. Stop complaining.
i would think that majority of the cost was for engineering and material and less so for the cabling
You'd think, except that the PCIe riser cable costs about $70 in bulk. Its a significant amount of the material cost for the case.
Holy shitsnacks, Batman! It retails for about $150 on Amazon...
www.amazon.com/Ribbon-Cables-PCIe-Assy-250mm/dp/B00HKJVM4M
I found them from companys that buy bulk from 3M and i belive lowest was around 80$ :)
Why the fucking hell does the PCIe riser cable cost so much?
It's some bloody copper and rubber in a ribbon cable
Pretty much the day after I was planing to do a custom build so similar to this I saw the linus video of the dan case. It is really amazing!
Love the intro Luke, great review, I really enjoy watching your videos.
I like these small cases always get fresh air to the GPU. Putting the GPU right on the side of the case is a very good idea imho.
That's how my case is and my gpu stays cool
What case do you have?
Thermaltake V4 actually. That's a middle tower I was just saying :)
Yup. I have a mid-tower (Define R4) and my GPU temps dropped significantly (~8°C) when I added a fan to the side panel, blowing fresh air directly under the GPU.
Making fun of your boss's manhood, wish I can do that
I can do it, not meaning I would keep my job :D
Can't wait to get a ship notice on mine. Having trouble deciding what video card I should put in it blower or ACX. Great Video!
Thank you for putting a 1080 classy in the Dan case!! It looks so sick..
Luke is fired again.
This is what you need for VR in a backpack
Not really, you still need to plug this into something lol
Just put a petrol generator on your back! :D
Also a motherboard with thunderbolt and 4 (so)dimm ram slots in the m-itx form factor. 4 sodimm slots should be much more common on mitx....
For a backpack PC you want to go for straight DC power (otherwise you have to convert DC-AC-DC which makes no sense) and if you're doing that you can get *much* smaller. With the new GTX 1060 laptops, you should be able to disassemble and get a ~1kg ~1L processing unit (about 1/5th the weight and 1/7th the volume)
Probably the best intro I've seen in a while
I remember seeing it in Linus's previous video, but damn fine review. makes want to build one. I can imagine just keeping it in my backpack at that size. lol at the intro btw.
Looks like a high-tech toaster ready to become a flying transformer anytime soon
damn dat brushed aluminium
That is the cutest case I've ever seen. I can't imagine making this even smaller. This is as small as a 'standard' desktop can get.
I have followed Dan throughout the whole building process. I love the astetichs of the case and the possibilities this case brings. My only hestiation about buying this case is the limitations of height on cpu cooler. I wish the case would been like 7,5L, heck maybe even 8L just so that we could use a better cpu cooler and OC the cpu to ish 4.5GHz. Probably waiting for V2 of this case to get rid of some prototype issues.
I was only 9 years old
I loved PC Gaming so much
i had all the games and peripherals
I would call out to LTT, thanking them for the tutorials they've given
I would say LTT is love, LTT is life
My Dad hears me and calls me a snob
He's just jealous for my devotion to 17 part moving videos
I call him a Jayztwocents fanboy
He slaps me and sends me to bed
I'm crying, my face hurts
I lay in bed, its rather cold
A warmth approaches me
I feel something touch me
It's Linus
I'm overjoyed
He whispers in my ear "Throw away the driver disc"
He grabs my case with his small hands
I'm ready
I slide my side panel open
He electrocutes my motherboard
It hurts so much, but i do it for Massdrop
I can feel my case quivering
I push the case against his force
His foot sinks through my floor, leaving a hole to my garage
I want to please LTT
He roars a feeble roar as my case is spray painted pink
Jayztwocents walks in
Linus looks him straight in the eyes and says "Do as i say, not as i do"
He leaves through the hole in my floor
Linus is Turnip, Linus is firepole
You win the internet
*slowly claps*
Bravo. *claps*
Lmao
what the hell did I just read?
Is the EVGA gtx 1080 classified out yet? I still haven't received an email from them...
What an awesome little case it is, I have to find a reason to do a build in this case myself! Very very nice
Luke does excellent reviews c: Keep 'em coming
I love you luke, but how come Linus never does his own videos anymore?
To clarify, he does special stuff like the vr backpack but not regular videos like this
coz luke needs more things to do. not a lot of benchmarks anymore these days
coz luke needs more things to do. not a lot of benchmarks anymore these days
coz luke needs more things to do. not a lot of benchmarks anymore these days
life lesson bosses don't do work
The Luke anger against Linus is present
Tis but bantz
so if luke is heated towrds linus, i guess he's LUKE warm
thanks X)
Now I want a new standard of mini-itx board with the PCIe slot on the back..
If it was built into the board we could build even smaller but powerful mini computer, super easily.
good job luke! long time fan keep up good work
Reviewing something that is not available in the market ... frustrating
They talk about this on the wan show, they have to because they dont want to release 10videos on gpus in a row
OR they can go back to their roots and do videos about Tech Tips. #LinusTechReviews
+UnitedTroy they've always done reviews as their main videos. I honestly don't think that they've done a "tips" video, whatever that would be
+Tanner Pat linus did do a tech tips in the past but on ncix channel and not on this one
+UnitedTroy *#LukeTechReviews*
It's ridiculous expensive.... someone needs to pick it up for mass production
LTT DanA4 ?
This risercard alone retails for around 80-90 dollars. And Lian Li is stupid expensive too. I guess they ask for a lot of money from Dan.
Yeah, the Ncase was a similar project and equally expensive.
Thats why someone else needs to pick it up once the limited run finishes
I wouldnt mind the fake aluminum plastic panels like Fractal use, they look nice and dont stain as easy
*****
Quality riser card with a very good isolation, which is important so that you can guarantee that it works 99.99%
I know this DAN Cases project from a forum and he tested quite a few riser cards. Cheapest, mid priced, expensive. He chooses this product for a good reason.
Thats what my post is about.
He isnt at wholesaler level yet, I think he just made a last purchase. We will see the price drop as more orders are placed
You are paying tomorrow's tech today. If you wait for 2 or 3 years and this form factor becomes standard, then you will pay less. Also there won't be price drop at the moment. 1500 cases were sold on the kickstarter campaign, and a second batch is coming out early 2017.
man when I was this early the last time, Linus still made proper videos on this channel
YES DAN A4 CONTENT!!!! BEEN WAITING SO LONG
I bet a AX1500I is bigger than that shit.
Nope.
Would it be better to use a reference blower style gpu?
separate video with comparison pls
Yeah, he said they reccommend blower style, but even the classified ran ok
Ok because it basically is seperated from the CPU airflow path anyways and it has direct access to outside. I wouldn't say blower is a need in this case yea
yes! use a blower style cooler unless you want a pizza warmer for u self :D btw they also made one of those
I really don't see how it would benefit though. It has a lot of air intake and non-blower fans are usually vastly superior.
Good test of the a4-sfx, i can't wait to receive mine hahahaha (december, so long).
Awesome build, awesome videos on it too. This sort of case would be really bad once caked with dust, as the average person will let it get. What surprises me with these cases is no option for a 1inch thicker(or less ideally) case side panel equipped with some well set out slimline fans but I suppose the video proved it's not really required. I might get into a bit of panel bending/cutting/shaping/painting and make a cool mini case :)
Luke Is A Savage Lmao
8:26 I tough he was going to dab :/
what a nice new word you invented, Luke. "Empasize." I'm not even being sarcastic, that has a wonderful ring to it.
That shoe box just shat on my 780t like it was redheaded step child, so impressed!

I like the ultra space efficient PC cases that have been coming out recently. I just wish some of them had space for 3.5 inch drives. 2.5s are fine if you're all in on a tiny build, but bulk storage is kind of a hurdle for someone looking to move over from a mid tower.
Literally the best intro ever.
Now water cool it.
you are.... SO fired
I have a Lian-Li full tower black brushed anodized aluminum case. Love it. Simple, sturdy, great materials.
My god I want this case so badly. I know that I would never, ever need to get another case as long as I live. This has everything I've ever wanted in a chassis. All of the essentials, and none of those bogged down HDD cages. It's smaller than a console for crying out loud and can house thrice the power. It's perfect in every way. Such a shame it's not available in the mainstream market.
NCASE M1
**Insert unwanted jokes here**
unwanted jokes
second here
you
Keemstar
I would tell you a vagina joke but, you wouldn't get.
Typically you guys upload around 12:00-1:00PM PST. Early, I see. :)
Best outro ever, Slick!
I wish you could actually buy this case.
You can't right now, but you will be able to buy it retail after the initial run is sent out to backers.
An idea when that'll be? I'm really interested in buying one of these.
Their site says late 2016 to early 2017.
Yea, I saw that. Was hoping for something a bit more specific. Decided to go with an Ncase M1 though, so meh.
The ghost louge s1 case is wider the dans case is less wider but taller I prefer the thinner Dan's case
I'm looking for a girlfriend
+subskrildos get laid m8
look on club penguin
go to blackpeoplemeet.com
get a lot of gold on RuneScape and then just buy one.
heard there's beautiful girl in africa
I would love to see a modern case that focuses on "solidly" fitting as many 3.5 inch drives as possible with ample cable room. I'm still using Antec 1100s.
I want a full build log and comparisons between the different setups. You used the cryorig cpu cooler here and that copper one in the linus video... Would be really interested in details!
47th View !
Upcoming channel - LukesUnemploymentTips! ;)
It might be a good case, respect for that. But the design is just boring. :P
Those hard drive mounts aren't toolless mounts. the larger holes are just for the rubber grommets to slip into. Just pop a drive sled out of one of your Fractal cases and take a peek. They will be oriented the same way.
X0D **laughs** Luke, Luke, Luke... You did away with the faux awkwardness and gave us this. Right on! You must have been tired 'cause you "frumbled" some words, but I'm liking the new you!
Not first!
same
same same, but different, but same
Your creativity is off the charts, bro.
Lukes video are annoyingly sarcastic, less luke more linus plz
man it would be sweet with a case like this for bringing on the plane when staying in Thailand for 3-4 months every winter...
Love the outro!
I wonder how well the thermals hold up for this case, especially with the parts they used on the build. It looks pretty darn cool, but even with the big side panel screens, I'm not sure how well/fast the heat can dissipate outwards rather than against each other causing the boards to get too warm and shorten the lifespan
Luke, you are simply...the best
This case is great for a small little rig to use at work because it's quiet and can game well
This could replace my SG05, impressed! Only wish it could be watercooled...
Hi Luke, thanks for the excellent review on this incredible casing!
Though may I find out with such a Low height for the cpu cooler, any suggestion from the mainstream of coolers out there (ESP for a cooler that's able to handle some sort of mild to medium OC)?
Another think is that the TOP of the casing is it able to mount a 120 rad (since the cooler height restriction) and if so any recommendation on any that may fit the case?
Thanks all the way from Singapore as I would like to try build one of this.
Warmest regards
David Wong
That Linus joke, one of the best :)
Size matters was in the title originally, for anyone who watches this after the title inevitably changes.
Nice intro luke! So true
XD that crunchy roll ad on a tech video
When you down and think that you're not doing anything important with your life, remember this. There are people who stalk every video Linus makes just to dislike it as soon as it comes out.
What was the build parts used in the video?
I obviously see the Dan A4-SFX, the Cryorig C7 Cooler, but what Motherboard is he using? Power Supply? Memory? What cables did Linus use to keep his air flow better? And where can I find that LED strip?
That burn at the beginning
This case looks badass, looks like the V2 is coming soon as well.
That first 40 seconds was amazing.
SICK LINUS ROAST
hmm probably would put an RoG strix card in it since you would be able to see the lighting from the side. I believe the strix would fit in that case which is amazing considering how big it is
Best intro yet!
Gah want this so much, but missed the kickstarter, will have to stick with the fractal node 202. Though the node can support liquid cooling with a basic mod...
I loved this case from that uLTIMATE cOMPACT gaminc PC 22 cores and GTX 1080 video, it will be my next build on the go/home
A review form a case that you can't buy at the moment. Good Job.
I like that case!! Wish there was a way for a 3.5" Drive to possibly fit in there with at least 1 2.5" SSD it would be an instabuy for my next build!
Oh wow, that's a nice find! Thanks. I like these small PC cases. Just haven't haven't gotten around to it. I found myself going the complete opposite direction buying a Fractal Define R5 for myself earlier this year. Loving my R5 but my next personal gaming build going to be an ITX...Unless dual GPUs in gaming come back strong again soon (as it should!) then definitely be looking at, at least an mATX.
Luk you have guts man. Well done.
Luke, the hero we deserve and need :)
This is better than my idea of using an Intel Nuc and a Razer Core. Interesting!
I wish a case comes that can fit: ATX PSU and 120mm radiator LC.
I absolutely love how they've handled the GPU slot. I think you can sacrifice some volume to fit larger components while still beating ALL mini-ITX cases/cubes - and this is all thanks to the gpu-slot design. Please dan!
"Linus MUST be able to emphasize with"
Linus: "I am REALLY VERY SMALL, just like the dancase a4"
Empathize, Luke. Empathize.
im about to build my first pc and i heard of esd, how can i avoid it, should i build everything on the ground i have a non- carpeted ground , is that any risk? i also heard the there is a little trick that to touch the unpainted part of the case, how can i know it unpainted ?and should i plug in the psu but turn off, the touch it every 3min when i building my pc ? any suggestion
Luke, I'm still dying to know what kind of temperatures to expect with the current setup, also because you picked the cooler that I'm most curious about, the Cryorig C7. Will you do another video on the performance in this enclosure or can you answer this reply if you get the chance?
Can't believe it's razor core sized. Just blows my mind
Now a manufacturer needs to release a MAINSTREAM motherboard with thunderbolt and 4 (so)dimm ram slots in the m-itx form factor. 4 sodimm slots should be much more common on mitx....
You should have case reviews as a proper build log. As nice as the b-roll is, it's nothing you can't get from most companies' websites. Useful information is seeing how difficult (or not) a case is to actually build in by watching something do it.
Can you guys review the Powercool Qube? It's incredibly cheap and small. I'd be interested in seeing you guys do a HTPC build in it.
Luke's troll game was on max in this video.
Huh... I was looking for a SFF case... Cool!
Luke? Doet the Scythe Big Shuriken 2 fit in this case? I know the height of the cooler is 58mm and the case supports 48mm but is that really true? That does mean i could use the cooler whithout the fan that is 12mm? Thanks in advance :)
use the turbo cards and a modular mini psu... I am really looking forward to cases like this.
