a really cool case, that houses a terrible product. NUC 9 is just too expensive and really does not have much of a place outside of maybe commercial entities that need high performance small form factor PCs.
The Compute Element system is a very cool idea, basically it's a new small form factor MB / case standard that makes building easier with good thermals and eliminates the need for GPU riser cables. But they blew it by making it expensive, this should be the lost-cost option for system building, not the premium option.
It is a super cool product and a great video. I do wonder though, how different is the form factor from a mini itx build? In the video it doesn’t look much smaller. A micro itx build would be much more flexible and cheaper but obviously more work. Very interesting.
Off Topic: A dedicated video on how to set up 2 color split static RGB fan lighting would give you alot of clicks. I know you mentioned it somehwere how to do it but I cant find it anymore
The Intel Nuc structure is awesome as is the CM case. The price of a Nuc setup as mentioned is expensive and the i9 variant is coming with a massive price premium over the i7 and i5 models. Hopefully the CM power supplies have improved over their older generation ones with quality or longevity issues.
Hey Gear Seekers, your channel has taught me and inspired me to build an ultimate gaming rig, but I'm still a bit confused on the wiring on a nzxt built, can you do a build with the nzxt h710 with the 360 mm cooler and show all the steps to assemble, that would probably be really helpful to others aswell
There’s like what 8 cases you can say are good in sff that support usb c header. So most people are still ordering ghost, ncase, and NZXT 210 because there no other real options. It’ll be nice when nr200 comes with the usb c. But not even sure if they’ll ever do it. And if they can add 5-10mm to the top and bottom for better Rad support, it’ll be best in slot imo.
hmm - I was hoping to get a case that would hold a GPU that I could connect directly to another system via a pcie cable. The target system doesn't have thunderbolt 3 and the card would not actually fit in the aurora r5 case but it can run a rtx 40 series if connected directly with a PCIe cable. I was thinking I could use another case, power supply and an extension cable.
NUCs are cool conceptually, but I honestly have not seen any type of interest in it from real working people (excluding reviewers of course). Seems like it started as an IT line-replaceable solution that got scuffed with the Intel tax. Regardless, you guys did a great job with the video and I stayed for the enjoyable music and recording.
Why would anyone buy this when you can make sandwhich style gaming pc with desktop grade cpus. My Formd T1 is the same size and I have a 240 aio hooked up to it. Cools amazingly and performs even better with my 5800x hooked up.
@@GearSeekers do you recommend that for individuals as well? Is buying the tools to test like a digital psu tester or a multimeter worth the effort and extra cost if you dont build often?
The awkwardness of this video shows how awkward these ‘compute element’ solutions are. I just don’t get it. Who would want to pay more to power a GPU with laptop hardware?
do you realize how huge and ridiculous desktops are? I was going to buy a pre-built from microcenter this weekend. I could fit at least 10 of my laptop inside. and it's probably a 20-30% performance difference.

I agree
it is incredibly not bad in terms of thermals huh given that those type of gpus dont get along in a sandwich layout
NUC? okay, Im out :(

It is MUCH smaller than standard mini itx. The NUC Mainboard looks more like GPU Board than mini itx.
The music at 9:00 god damn claps I can't stop listening
Happy New Year, Nick & Claire!

I'm a fan of the intake duct, and how smol it is overall.
man! the cinematic mode is so dope as always..much love❤
9:00 the bass of that sounds a lot like the bass in flutes by hot chip. Was that an inspiration for that beat by any chance?
You don't need to take the entire plastic cover off to install everything. You can undo 2 or 3 screws and the middle part flaps out.

looks like squeezed and stretched " phanteks evolv x" case but in a good way... Nice and very helpful video

Why not flip the compute elements orientation so that it intakes from the back panel?
Impossible
@@GearSeekers I dont mean you, I mean CM or Intel.
You don't need to install the cpu compare to normal PC build, and that's the only difference
I should have got this over the ghost canyon. Ghost Canyon has the GPU sandwhiched up to the compute element and no airflow!
Come for the pcs, stay for the tunes
kinda wish the nr200 had the same cut-out patterns on the side walls
Is that a 12VO psu with 12VO connector cos i am wondering if that PSU can be upgraded in future
I wonder how thermals would be with and without that plastic vent
A lot worse
Wow at 11:57, that's a bop right there!

Would this be useful for a steamer to use as a second PC for OBS????
CoolerMaster always produce the cool case
Is there anyway possible to fit a itx mobo in?
can you use this for only the GPU? and plug to your computer? as an external GPU drive or what call it?
Will any NUC fit it?
I would put a NUC 11 Beast Canyon in it.
does Cooler Master MasterCase NC100 White SFF work with windows 11?
Wow a video i actually miss some how.
Cool needs tempered glass side panel, excerpt for thermals. RTX FE too nice to cover up. :-)

LOVE the montage + music. main reason i'm here. GG xD
I'm nuc gonna buy this
I really want to see if its possible to plug the NUC 9 to a regular pc and use it as a 2ndary system in the same pc.
It's been done
Is there an mini-itx equivalent out there for this case? Refering to the design.
Nope
How you doin nick ? Awesome build
I would only buy this if there is gonna be a upgrade path in say 4-5 yrs with same ff
Great portable VR PC.
5:50 this is BETTER NOT BEING UP AGAINST THE COMPUTE ELEMENT. you need air flow to that noisy laptop fan in the compute elemtn.

Because it's easy. Exactly as I said in the video lol
@@GearSeekers Yeah I skimmed the video ahah my bad... As an enthusiast SFFPC guy myself I couldn't hold in my rage at the NUC series
wondering what GPU you used?
Hey when you make a new build, do you ever test any of the new parts like the psu ? or do you just put it together and if thees an issue test then?
Everything is pretested
@@GearSeekers do you recommend that for individuals as well? Is buying the tools to test like a digital psu tester or a multimeter worth the effort and extra cost if you dont build often?
No that's overkill. Just test it before you build on the motherboard box
Its a unique case
Would you guys rather have a pc like this or a laptop with an egpu?
I prefer my maxed out Razer blade stealth 4k and a core x with a 1080ti inside.
I prefer this over a laptop. I'm not really a laptop person
This is growing on me
Firecuda 510 is a good ssd
if only it was an itx case
This can work like a egpu for laptops?
no
I would build it but next gen graphics cards.
Very nice.

only if it's a normal itx case
NR200 is and looks better imo
Not even the same thing. You can't compare them.
Little verge drop...
Dam that's nice
Screw with confidence...
hi nick!
Wish sfx was a little cheaper
Cooler master nr200p says hello, seriously check it out.
Felling First With 99 Others 👍👍👍
NOT as easy as building a normal PC. Building and ATX or MicroATX is Way easier.
No，thank you
2021 standards: No ryzen - No likey
Stupid
@@GearSeekers but its true
what is thattttt🤣
