2:12 - Corrections: "USB" not "UBC", and "Gb" not "GB". Computex deadlines meant that some little things slipped through the cracks, and we're working to get this updated in the video.
That’s ok. We meant what you knew. ;)
The horizontal computer case being introduced as a revolutionary design makes me want to check myself in to a nursing home.
Honestly i like horizontal PC cases. Either as the classic HTPC or just you know "oh the monitor ontop the pc"
Amen...long before that guy (or maybe anyone at LMG) was born, 8088, 8086, 286, 386, and maybe 486 were all horizontal or nothing. I think it was about Pentium when I saw/built my first vertical. The movable feet are nice, but the idea being revolutionary makes me want to chug some geritol. lol Next thing somebody will come out with is a rotary dial for smartphones. You punks get off my lawn!
I miss my HaF stacker
@@esc952 My Tandy 8086 running MS-DOS and Tandy's own "OS" was fun. Played so much Ultima.
@@esc952 My first vertical was an AMD 386 DX 40, Pentium were non-existent.
The thumbnail makes it look like some kind of encased bedroom.
I thought it was a 3d printer 😅
I thought it was an NES 😂
Fr tho
Or a modern baby crib
Right?
His mind would have been blown in the early 90s.
My comment exactly. Then there were the late 80s when these "inverted" cases were even bigger
So true. Remember the first Thermaltake solid aluminum cases with the locking doors? Had a little view window on the side. Was my first custom case. Wasn’t cheap 289. Back in 2003ish? Case had a handle on the top too at 50lbs 😂. Forget the name but had a X on the front.
the point was about the mechanism that allowed how easy it is to switch
Please no, lets not go back to the horrifying mishmash of form factors we had back then.
His dad's was. It's why he's here
Now they just need to make one that's a little smaller, mATX or ITX, then it would be perfect for a home entertainment center PC.
You could check out the Jonsbo N3 case. It's an ITX NAS case with 8 HDD slots and it's basically a small cube.
Fractal also make an horizontal case
Yeah, just go to PC Part Picker and filter for HTPC cases
Yes please
Bequiet avoids anything that isn't ATX, but it would be cool to see smaller cases too
Now we need it with an option for Rackmount😂
Was thinking the same so you can maybe mount it inside a desk drawer
That's what I was thinking. 5HE, cause 4HE is a pain with some current GPUs, make the large glass panel optional (or give the option to buy a solid side/top panel), viola... finally more options besides rack mount cases that are cheap and build like shit, expensive and build like shit, and Sliger (which are kinda hard to get outside NA).
I thought this was a rack when i clicked
So we went full circle back to horizontal computer case, but without the ability to put your monitor on top of it to save desk space like we did in the 90s and prior.
I did that with my RVZ01 build a few years back
@@Vonliktenstien Nice but SFF cases don't count since they're mostly aimed at enthusiast, this is the first mainstream ATX horizontal case we've had in years
I don't see why you couldn't put the screen on top. I mean, modern LCDs are, even though they have become much larger than any CRT we put on the cases back in the day, still lighter than those old monitors were.
It'd be pretty distracting with the entire lightshow going on below the screen though...
@@steveweidig5373 Putting something weighted and not evenly spread in weight on top of a tempered glass is generally discouraged for a reason.
Problem is that it takes like 1 linus² floor space
Ahh a footrest!
3:33 When he said "It's brilliant!" by brain was so conditioned on youtube sponsor spots that I fully expected him to make a segue
It's brilliant! - just like this segue to our sponsor... there you go.
@@BigT87 (Riley appears on screen) THE RIDGE!
seeing someone so young that they probably don't even remember that towers were not the default configuration back in the day...be "surprised" that you can lay a computer on the side.....
Right!!?? It was standard to have the PC flat with the monitor on top. Just google IBM pcs from the 90's.
My old compaq pressario is crying
He's impressed by the fact that you can rotate the case to 3 different positions just by popping its feet. If you pay attention, he says that it has seen it before but that in those previous cases you had to move many parts, not just the feet.
@@itisabird But he also claims that with any other case that does this, you need to change the whole case around like it's a day's job, which is not true either. - These kiddos need to stop acting like they've seen everything. That said, even the older ones sometimes act like they know it all, but don't. It always shows flaws in their knowledge or at least research and makes them look like blabbering idiots to those who know.
I have a Dell Optiplex 745 years ago that runs WindowsXP professional. It does indeed have provisions for being on its side. It was my first PC.
1:42 who's that handsome gentleman in the blue Viewabo shirt? It's me!
Horizontal used to be the standard. Everything else was odd. There were some advantaged to the switchover. No longer did cases need to be strong enough to support a monitor (crt's back then) and less desk space needed, none in some configurations. Of course now there are serious issues to vertical cases. Main one being the ginormous heat management solutions bending and breaking slots and cards and the level of re-enforcement needed for cpu coolers as well. Horizontal cases are due for a comeback now that that monitors weight much less ( a 32" 4k flat panel weighs less than most 14" crt's did) and no gpu sag/breakage and some interesting alternate cooling setups come to mind.
Putting a monitor on a wide dual-chamber case like this would be ergonomically terrible, but yeah, it would be great to see slimmer horizontal cases make a comeback.
Child from the 80s here and yep, that's how we rolled haha. Now bring back the turbo button and matrix printers.
I actually own horizontal cases
@@gamebuster800 I have the Cooler Master Haf XB EVO for one of my computers.
Arm mount your monitors, it save space and adjust it to your height.
I'd like to see this be no glass on the side, so I can still see in from the from, but also put my monitor on top of it without worrying about the glass
looked like an apartment room lol
Rent is only $1150 a month.
So horizontal cases making a come back?
I need it. But like a reasonable size for on the desk
I’ve had HTPC’s for a long time, currently using a super simple, super cheap dell optiplex unit I got for $50 with a SSD and half height GPU. The only issue is that HTPC’s are not flashy, you don’t want lights on them and the glass is useless in a home theater cabinet.
I support horizontal PCs, but can we make one that has modern component support, decent airflow (silverstone’s did okay all things considered) without any fluff wasted on RGB.
I went be quiet on my last build because they were one of the only decent cases I could find that didn’t have a single RGB light on it. Disappointed if they don’t release a non RGB horizontal case. I’d build one in a heartbeat
They have finally made it. They told them for decades to be quiet and finally they are quiet. Good job be quiet we are proud of you.
ngl with that soft diffused lighting, a wood panel version of that in walnut would go hard......
That is a really nice design, didn’t expect it to have project zero support as well, that’s really impressive
I think the universal term is "back-connect".
omg that ghost bass in the background is deafening and kills me holy hell.
left over from when the cases had optical drives there for it would take more than just moving the feet to completely invert it.
I remember the BTX standard. Also old enough to remember when horizontal cases were the norm. Back when it was a beige hellscape. And there were 30lb CRT monitors on top, not very friendly with glass panels.
But this case is awesome.
BTX Ready - I still have my daily driver in a Coolermaster STC-T01. Thing came out in 2005. But if I wanted an AIO CPU cooler I'd probably have to either mod it beyond recognition or get one of these, looks like the best new case out there.
I've seen cases like that but putting it horizontal is a game changer. Looks way cooler on its side
would love a mini-ITX case in this style!
Yeah, this is one of the areas Be Quiet! really needs to enter. I'd like to see them do a "stealth" aesthetic (every possible surface matte black or dark grey, including screws), also minimizing vibrations and turbulence. Mini ITX or even a micro ATX that's SFF or close enough (sub 25L would still be fine in my book, especially if the footprint is small).
Embracing every aspect of the "Be Quiet!" name. Maybe even reach out to partner with LTT for LTT x Noctua style partnership. Can borrow that Stealth Hoodie aesthetic. 😎
Even better I like cases that have rear covers so on all sides it looks good with cables just coming out of one of the corners
I would definitely get this if I could put my monitor on it when its horizontal. I would even buy an optional side panel for that since I'm not sure about the glass holding it up. Always liked that about old PCs with everything right in front of you.
Seems like it'd be taking up way too much desk space, because it's very unsmall.
audio can be hard on the showroom floor, but i would recommend cutting out those sub frequencies cos i can hear the thump from other booths in the background lol
These tech-channels don't even know how to do audio. - Their best guy is probably Dan, and even he is incompetent.
@@michaelmonstar4276 Dan was literally an audio engineer. The audio is fine man, it doesn't sound bad. My comment can hardly be taken as hate
Great design, I've been waiting for this for a long time
Some weird low bass noises happening in this video. Might be worth adding a High-Pass filter at ~80Hz
Just make it 100-120. You don't need all of that. - But don't expect anything, they're incompetent when it comes to audio.
The issue with horizontal is the larger footprint. Older 90s PCs were just boxes you also put your monitor on so the footprint was mitigated. This is just glass so i doubt anyone puts anything on it.
Jake. Looking well mate!
I designed a case exactly like this in shop class 12 years ago. Nice to finally see my vision come to market.
Super exciting case! Im a huge fan of over the top, large cases. I currently use a Phanteks Enthoo Elite, and I also couldnt help but notice this would also totally fit a XL-ATX motherboard
Great coverage, and thankyou for the knowledge bombs. Could we get some dimensions going forward?
I want a completely clear plastic pc case like they made in the 90s
Sounds indestructible!
I have an older Be Quiet case that I like though would enjoy a smaller version of it. I imagine shrinking the case while maintaning the same 2 fan on the front & less depth (front to back length) would allow the air to flow stronger right on the components.
This was my case of the show and probably the case I'll get for my next build.
There has been so little innovation in horizontal cases ever since the HAF XB Evo.
Thanks Be Quiet, this case rocks.
I've always wanted a horizontal case.
Inverted layout is cool, but are there any GPU support brackets (first-party or aftermarket) for that configuration?
(i.e. where the GPU stays horizontally mounted. You *could* use a vertical bracket/riser but then the GPU intake will get smothered by the glass)
I finally see an accurate scale of Colton standing next to a full size human.
I like horizontal cases for the smaller motherboards, like Matx or Itx and the orientation also helps prevent the snapping of heavy graphics cards which seems to be common place in the news recently.
I wish I had the dimensions for these cases because it would look DELIGHTFUL in my rack. My current pc is in a Phanteks P350X Eclipse and it slots PERFECTLY into a cantilever rack-mount shelf if you take off the feet. If either of these fit in, I know what my next case is gonna be.
I like the horizontal cases, they just give you a little more options of where you want to put them since they aren't as tall.
I absolutely love the design on this case - once my current BeQuiet behemoth is in need of replacement, I'll definitely be taking a look at this.
Silverstone SUGO 14 ITX did this years ago. Feet can be easily refit for horizontal/ vertical layout. As for horizontal layout, it was the norm during IBM PC days; the CRT would be above the case, utilizing desk space as well as bringing the monitor's top at eye level, which is more ergonomic. I use my ASUS AP201 case horizontally without the feet, it looks like a subwoofer next to my TV in the living room.
Thermaltake V21 probably before that, though it's larger to accommodate up to mATX. But then it also leaves more room for more and larger fans as well as general breathing-room. - You don't change just the feet on it, but the panels instead, as you can even remove the bottom and put it on the side or top, as to turn the entire frame around onto one of four sides. - It has its own issues here and there, but I love that thing, it just makes a lot of sense, even if it can be improved upon.
I think that may be my next case... horizontal!~ I loved desktop configs back in the day when the monitor was ontop of the horizontal case.
gotta love the darkflash logo reflecting from the case
I wonder how this works with AIO’s
Does a normal config being laid out flat like the first way it was shown cause issue?
Guess you can just reorient the fan setup depending on how you want to configure it.
Yeah, here are the AIO placement options, I will refer to each location based on the regular mode.
Regular mode - top and side mount are good. Not bottom.
Horizontal mode - top and bottom are good. Not side.
Inverted mode - bottom and side are good. Not top.
Regarding airflow and fan placement, it's basically the same. At the time of building you will need to decide regular, or inverted. And you can always go horizontal, if you choose.
And location on desk will decide this choice. Inverted for left side of monitor, regular for right.
All said and done, the case gives you loads of options, but not every option makes sense without moving stuff around.
Hope that makes sense.
As long dust exists, I don't think I'd pick a horizontal layout anytime soon. Really like the symmetrical design and clean reverse mobo setup, though I can't see myself fiddle around with the whole case once I have it in place with all the external cable sorted out.
Lol @ horizontal PCs... YOU MEAN LIKE THEY USED TO BE?! =P. This is cool though
*supposed to be - The whole thing about "GPU-sag" is because cases have been wrong for decades now. - They even started making support-brackets out of that ignorance. 💀 (And I get that tower-cases reduce the footprint, like for offices and such especially, but then they started making them wider/deeper anyway, so it started becoming moot.)
0:15 probably because it takes 2x to 3x the space on your desk compared to a standing case
YES. Ive been using the haf xb ( i think thats the name) for years and ive been waiting for something like this.
This but with a curved front quarter panel, you have the perfect airflow case. We have the technology!
How much pressure can it take on top? Honestly most people that need a horizontal case, want to put their screens on it.
lord, there's some serious bass in this video for what ever reason, and my sub woofer is off to my left and it's messing with me. Wish I could've gone but these videos are amazing to watch for insight into pretty awesome stuff.
I have the nzxt h500i I really want the H1, just want it as small as possible
if they do one without the glass side panels, looking into it. need opaque panels because some parts need software to disable rgb.
The dude from Be Quiet! in the background watching you like a hawk is hilarious.
noice, i remember the 'ol packard bell 486 dx/2 25mhz (33 mhz turbo) with the horizontal case. I remember drooling over the full size tower cases normally reserved for servers and bbs. these horizontal cases look soooo much better than that tho. glhf fam and tytyty 4 the content
I'm still using a horizontal HAF XB Evo. I bought it in 2014.
I used to have one of those but it took up too much space on my desk.
I like that one, almost got it around that same time, but didn't, and actually still want one to build something in. - But it's quite limited in terms of cooling and such, and indeed a quite large footprint. - I use the Tt V21 instead and that hasn't been topped in terms of its design-principles, and even that case is flawed.
Dang, kind of wish this was out a few months ago. I bought a O-11 D EVO specifically because I could flip it for a left side build, this is so much simpler than that lol
So it comes full circle what is old is now new, once towers were unicorns among desktops. Case designs reminds me of the wild designs of 50's cars chrome, color, wild shapes and numerous models.
Funny. Both of my work PC's are laying on their sides. Have been for over 13 years. I use one for normal work stuff and gaming and one for flashing automotive control modules. I find it's a lot easier in a shop environment to have them flat for the room and stability. The one I use for flashing modules is on a roll cart for portability. If it were standing upright, it would have fallen many times.
I have a Silverstone Raven where the io is on the top its 90 degrees shame they no longer do them
Been rocking my Lian li infinity’s reverse blades for a while now!
Just need to make a mini sffpc version, and I'm sold
I love Be quiet! Ive been using them for about 7 years now on 3 different pc builds. Case, fans, PSU. All great.
Oh, the inverted case has my attention. YES! I have been looking for a way to put my computer on the left side of my desk but being able to see the internals. This is what I've been looking for!
Thermaltake V21. A bit outdated, but hasn't been topped in its design-principles. - I have it on my desk with the window-panel put towards me and the motherboard horizontally, but the kind-of weird thing is that you see the back of the GPU then, which isn't that weird, but it is when it has a design with text on it that's "upside-down" for when you look at it in a regular tower-configuration. - But you can also put the motherboard vertically on the other side, which then would have the GPU-fans up. And you could even put the motherboard upside-down if you want to. All four panels around are interchangeable, so have at it.
waht about the PSU? how does it get enough air when on the side?
I'm not even planning on building a computer any time soon, but for some reason I love watching these videos about awesome new cases.
Been running a danger den water box plus for about 20 years now.
My Silverstone ML-08 can do a similar party trick. It's always baffled me why more case manufacturers don't make this an option. Game consoles came equipped for both orientations it for years.
Isn't there a problem about liquid cooler pump when you turn it upside down?
I need this case in my life it looks almost architectural in a way. Would fit super well in a cyberpunk themed den
i am really happy to see more dual chamber cases, i love it
That is a great idea. If I was into having my PC with transparent pannels and on my desk, I'd be getting one! Good job, be quiet!
But can it fit 6 or 8 3.5" HDDs? Also, I would love a modern horizontal PC with ODD support.
Video Suggestion - fantastic demo of a very flexible case. But as an old time PC owner, it was always my understanding that if you had a case sit one way for say 2 or more years. Then if you changed it to another layout, this could potentially "misalign" the heads on a MECHANICAL HDD. So my suggestion is --- now with SSD's with no moving parts --- is there anything else in a "typical" PC case that could be effected if you have the case one way for a year or two, then change it like you can here... could this still effect GPU / CPU / CPU Cooling / Power Supply in any way?
Can you rack mount it though?
I am glad someone was thinking about folks that wanted horizontal pc cases.
None has done it as well as the Thermaltake V21, however... and that thing is outdated. Yet I won't stop using it until something does the same and better. - There's also that Cooler Master HAF one, but that's so outdated that it doesn't even support 140mm fans (except the 200mm in the top) and it has a much bigger footprint for no reason (unless you need an ATX motherboard for some reason), and you can't change the orientation either, unlike the V21.
Could this be a replacement for my Nanoxia?
But I have a Tower 900 and all the corresponding parts for it.... but this was the case I wanted years ago...
When he showed the 900 in the laying down position, my first thought was 'what if it had rack ears?'
I'd love to build my daughter a new PC with a horizontal case. It fits her desk better than a vertical case. Keeping an eye out for this! Thanks BeQuiet and LTT staff.
Can we get one without tempered glass? I'd like more airflow and to use it as my monitor riser, so stamped aluminum would be pretty cool. No need for rgb fans. The strip on the outside should be distracting enough.
now test and see if it can support a CRT monitor ontop when its horizontal
3:43 Steve is very happy right now
Immagine if the NR200P had a slightly longer bottom plate without the feet, but with feets on the elongation to put it vertically (it needs to be elongated for the cables).
Do I put my monitor on top of my horizontal case like it’s 1996?
2:12 Love UBC, always been my favorite standard.
I like this case... it would solve a lot of my problems... except they on horizontal are almost as tall as my SilverStone PS15 PRO (shortest case I could find and afford) on vertical. lol
I like the look of the fans and the AIO. Good job.
I really appreciate the RGB control with hardware!
Nice to have another option as I only use inverted cases.
Finally! Modern horizontal cases have been desperately wanted for so long, especially if they came with optional rack mount ears. I'd buy it immediately if they offered a rack mountable case.
That 1st case, genius idea.
Horizontal case and reversed blades in fan isnt anything new or revulutionary, but it looks cool.
I think horizontal builds look fantastic. Ive had horizontal itx builds for years it looks like your looking down on a mini futuristic city block.
What computer case with a blank panel could you not put on its side?
2:12 Oh wow, UBC-C and UBC-A connections? A rare treat to find even on a modern case!
Thermaltake Core V21 12 inch cube i've been using it for like 10 yrs
