    Just a heads up, the front column will be flippable in all production models. We've also included 8 additional long screws to mount either (1) 2 fans to the radiator rails or (2) mount the screws through the fans and into the radiator (meaning the rad will be above the fans like Jay wanted). We have a document with pictures and details of all the fixes, the ones I mentioned just now are one of many. Last but not least, when using the case in vertical mode with Handles, it's important that it stands on the 4 rubber rings that come with the Handles (otherwise stability will suffer). If somebody wants the full list of improvements, just let us know :)

    • @mnemonik61

      Yup, that's why I always keep a cheap little 1/4" ratchet driver from Lowe's (or HD, don't remember, lol) handy. I don't really like right-angle screwdrivers - it's hard to maintain downward pressure with those, whereas with a ratchet you can keep a thumb on the top while turning to hold it in place.

    9:10 you can also get some angled Phillips-head screwdrivers that look a bit like an Allen key for jobs like that, and also ratchet wrenches designed for taking standard screwdriver bits and turning them 90 degrees for tight angles like that one. Making a smaller one would be a great idea for your channel partners at iFixit.

  • @DuckyBee156
    @DuckyBee156 3 місяці тому

    JAY Little tip for you. You can purchase ratchet head bit holders, like ratchet spanner/wrenches. Perfectly small for those tight spaces, so instead of finger tight and preying it doesn't come loose (Mobo screw) you can give it a bit of torque to secure it. Most autozone/tool stores will have them. Fantastic for furniture building and small case builds among MANY things. Handy tool to have.

    @jameslewis2635 3 місяці тому

    It's good to see that the manufacturers are sending these pre-production cases out to get opinions and then taking comments made on the designs serious enough to make revisions around them. In this way they will get a much better data set than they will just testing the cases themselves with a limited set of hardware. To my mind this case could use some feet (possibly either a magnetic or push in design to merge with the slot and hole aesthetic of the outer case) to allow for better vertical airflow, a change the path that the GPU riser takes in order to stop it from being damaged as the outer shell is slid on and for it to be possible to switch the orientation of either the control panel or the button section attached to it.

    If you do get bubbling, I know you may not like the idea of cutting into your aio tubes.... but you could add a reservoir with custom soft tubing. Then you can route the tubes to not allow bubbles in the cpu block.
    It's a mess converting aio's cause they're meant mainly to push just the volume of liquid that comes in the radiator. When you add more liquid, it's more work on the motor.
    But it can be done. You could also take the electric motor out and order the next sku up, or custom rewind the coils for more oomph.
    Rewinding motors imo is better. Same draw, up to twice its base power depending on how tightly/precisely you wrapped it.

    That's nuts. Looks awesome but definitely not worth the hassle. Hopefully the revision is better.

      their previous offering had similar issues, this "bigger" case (the previous one was 10L) was suppose to help with all the cable+case squeezing. for AIO its a nightmare unless you have small hands and have enough patience.
      good luck with the case - hope your experience will be better for some of us.
