      Agreed! For the amount of R&D and effort and custom manufacturing that had to go into that design, as well as the beefy and precision-machined parts, I think the price point is very reasonable. Very impressive little unit unlike anything I've seen with that hybrid open-air design and seemingly using the case itself as a heat sink for some passive cooling a bit like the CompuLab Airtops. Hopefully we see similar but more modular/upgradeable designs follow.

    9:22 To avoid this, use "movflags=frag_keyframe+empty_moov" in the Custom Muxer settings, or use a format this is not MP4 or MOV (like MKV). MP4/MOV expect what is called a "MOOV atom" in the file, which contains all the metadata about the video, and the standard is to put it at the end of the file. If your recording gets interrupted somehow, that MOOV atom doesn't get written, causing most players and video editing software to have a difficult time opening it. (If you ever run into this issue and really need to recover the recording, try producing another one with the exact same settings, which can then be used by software like "untrunc" to build the MOOV atom for the broken file.) Using the specified muxer settings, ffmpeg (and thus OBS) will generate "fragmented" files, which means it will regularly store the metadata along with the fragments it is writing. (Though be warned that some software doesn't want to deal with fragmented files, but you can always re-mux them if needed and at least won't lose the entire recording on a crash.)

    As I'm sure many have said before that's a white powerCON connector and the appropriate one should be blue. It's mainly inferred but I haven't seen anyone state it, they included the "appropriate" power cable which is effectively a male to male power cable or a "suicide cable". If this cable is plugged into the wrong thing (like the output of a light on the white end) it creates exposed live contacts that one can potentially electrocute themselves on!

    That power connector is called a PowerCON connector made by Neutrik. They're products are industry standard for event production. It's really cool to see one used in this way however its slightly upsetting because they used the white connectors instead of the blue connectors. The reason this matters is because white is supposed to mark a power output, and blue is to mark a power input. The purpose of this is for equipment that has both ports on it so you can daisy chain the power.

      The formfactor and component placement make sense the issue is flex ATX PSUs aren't common and really to get one you probably have to print you own PCB. When you get into printing you own PCB you have gotten into company secrets for how intel or AMD connect to the motherboard electrically. Now if you had that as a open thing you would have many people just printing their own motherboard instead of having to make it fit the shape a motherboard manufacture made. Would it be more expensive to do it that way? Maybe depends on the design they use but for most it is normally done for size requirements are different from the standard.

    Aside (as other comments have mentioned) for the power connector being dangerous for being the wrong use case, I think overall this is a nice looking system that borrows a bit of that Apple aesthetic/engineering of using the chassis to sink heat. However, the exposed area/fans creates a danger situation where someone (like Linus) sticks their finger in it, or something accidently hits the fan and shatters it (I've had that happen when a case fan was exposed.) I probably would have at least put a magnetic fan filter at least over the fans, or design one with magnetic posts (since aluminum isn't magnetic.)
    It is overall neat to look at though.

    Those Neutrik powerCON connectors are fantastic, but they have selected the wrong ones for this application. the gray panel-mount connector on the PC is supposed to be an ‘outlet’, usually as mains passthrough on a piece of equipment, and gray cable-mount connector which mates with it is expected to be used on the Source side of any cable it’s fitted to. This cable should be destroyed immediately; while it will work perfectly safely with this PC, if it ends up in your warehouse and someone grabs it not knowing how wrong it is, they could plug it into any lights/equipment using correctly configured powerCON connectors and end up with the domestic plug end live at mains voltage.
