Thank you so much for the kind words and for the shout out! Your channel is part of the reason I decided to document my journey when I started flipping PCs
Thanks! Was alot of fun, I was a little skeptical at first if it was legit, I mean who would send me something? But they were awesome to deal with, and didn't try to influence me at all in my review.
@@CasualTechReview appreciate it. do u also know fans that look good with it? I plan to put some on the bottom and then the thermal right aqua elite 360 on top and then mount the gpu.
@zland6562 for sure, it's all about value. For higher end builds with graphics cards that need to be kept cooler i will put additional intake fans in. When doing flips I'm always thinking about the overall value of the build. Higher end builds get better components.
Ok cool, I haven't gone hands on with one yet. I'm curious as to how well that works, but I do like the small profile of the case maybe I will have to try one out.
@@CasualTechReview It’s nice, I think the aqua 5 looks better but the aqua 3s cheaper for flips, wishing it came with the long screws for the bottom fans. Thanks for the review and love the vids!
@@CasualTechReview it was a pretty nice case! I ended up using a 360mm AIO and switching the RGB fans down to the bottom because top fans don’t really get seen much. (I had extra long screws from the AIO) and it was a 13600kf + RTX 3080 ftw3 it sold for $1100 left me roughly $315 profit!
@@CasualTechReview I love the case. I just bought a Apevia Phantom and I do like the case a lot too! The Prism is nice as well. Definitely budget but they come with fans although the Phantom is set up as a all exhaust setup kind of like the aqua 5
Waiting till all battlemages nvidia and amd cards release and buying this with 7800xt , 7500f and thermalritgh v3 aqua aio , looks goergous and a year of saying will make a good look
@@CasualTechReview yeah im prob still change the cpu cuz of cores and threads i feel like 6 cores may not last long since my 4 core laptop cpu is already kinda struggling [im on different acc]
Nice case, nice build and nice review. Only complaint I have about the build is that the 240mm aio is better served when shifted to the rear of the case. Right now, it is in line with and is immediately exhausting intake air before the air has a chance to cool the interior of the case. If it is installed toward the back of the case, it will exhaust the heat coming directly below from the GPU. Otherwise, nice build.
Thanks for the feedback. I did actually mount the AIO in a few different places, and it didn't affect the thermals at all. Mounted closer to the front, cable management was easier and looked better. In a more powerful system with components generating more heat, I would be more inclined to mount in the back. Thanks for watching!
@@CasualTechReviewWe're to tempted to make the AIO the intake at the side of the case and move the fans there to the top ? CPU tempts would be better having cooler air going through the AIO.
Great review. Unfortunately in the UK the Okinos is £126, but for $73 in the US it looks like a steal. Particularly like the white motherboard connectors and the full covered PSU shroud which makes cable management easier, particularly if using cable extensions.
what would you prefer, an ARGB controller or a in-case anti sag gpu bracket? I actually believe than in these days with huge gpus I would heavily prefer a gpu support.
@electroman11 great question. Two reasons why I would say argb hub. First, they are more expensive then a gpu support. Second, if it has a controller it is probably also able to connect to the reset or led switch on the front io. I think people like simplicity, and there's nothing simpler then changing the rgb by hitting a button on the case. But I agree, I use alot of gpu supports in my builds, especially with 3 fan cards.
Great video, keep it up! I've listed my first pc about a month ago and I just don't get any messages/attention, I partially think it's because I don't have a real fb account with a history, so I made a new one and I think people don't want to trust a new account with no friends/history. The pc is priced pretty well but still it gets no attention, I just want to sell one so I can start making more and get ramping up but it just won't sell.
Sorry to hear that. I am actually working on editing a video at this moment that talks all about marketing and selling PC's on marketplace. Hopefully get it uploaded soon!
@andreamazzurco1524 I don't, I happy with my sales volume local and it seems easier than dealing with shipping. Maybe if I want to sell more I'd look into that. I barely have enough to flip 2 or 3 and do youtube.

@Lukes-PC-Flips you are off to an awesome start, looking forward to watching your channel grow!
Congrats on the review unit! Making great progress.
Great looking case and great looking build!

LUKES PC FLIPS ARMY RISE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah looking forward to more content from Luke!
good review! also what kind of liquid cooler is that 😊
Thanks, that's a Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm. Thermalright makes fantastic cooling solutions at great prices, I definitely recommend their products!

On the aqua 3 the 2 top fans are exhaust, it’s for a negative pressure cooling and pulls air through the perforated basement

Just did a aqua 5 flip a couple weeks ago!

@levrobb2644 nice job! I definitely plan to use the Aqua 5 again in the future, it had great quality for the price.

@@levrobb2644 I haven't tried any apevia cases yet, I think they are only on Amazon right?
The case is interesting. I like the side front I/O
@kevinrichards1666 yes, I highly recommend it. Great quality and features for the price.
OH YES
You're out of control...

@rathstar I did consider that, but honestly it's just not necessary for these components.

@@rathstar Yeah I took a look, way to much for flip builds.
@rathstar wow thats crazy. Must be an import tax or something.

Can the fans on an aqua 7 be linked to and aio and controlled through motherboard software?
@Jalal_sinclxir I would imagine so. This is an aqua 5 and that's what I did.
In my area facebook marketplace is only used by few people. It s ok to do flipping pc with shipping on ebay in your opinion?
@andreamazzurco1524 I don't, I happy with my sales volume local and it seems easier than dealing with shipping. Maybe if I want to sell more I'd look into that. I barely have enough to flip 2 or 3 and do youtube.
Not a bad video at all.
