I actually got this case for my build, got about 95% done assembling it, then promptly tore it back down, boxed it back up, and returned it for a full refund. See, this case is touted as able to be "inverted" where the main chamber is on the other side, and everything is essentially "upside down." I need a case that does this because the desk I have in my home office somehow has the shelf for my computer tower to the left of me. The problem is that setting this up to be inverted is really only a matter of taking the feet off the bottom panel and attaching them to the top panel, but this does not take into account that the front I/O and power button are suddenly on the bottom corner of the case. And because the corners of the case are angled, this really renders the front USB completely useless. So if anyone's looking at this case with plans to do an inverted build, I *highly* recommend you look elsewhere.
Couldn't you just flip the front panel upside-down? Thought the front panel was symmetrical on all sides. I have the case too now and was actually considering doing this.
I think you missed something. I’m pretty sure the io panel can be move around alone in all 4 corners
@@ericspoor8175I’m pretty sure you can put the io panel on the back panel
@@BigPtace nah, not all 4 sides. The io-panel is integrated with the front panel.
@@ericspoor8175ok i have the q300l v2 and the io pannel looks like I can move it around.
Love the case.
Happy new year mate🎉
I really love the cases you showed til now, love the aesthetic that ITX and mATX bring to setups.
Awesome way to start the new year great video Devyn, Happy New Year Everyone
Love the minimalistic design approach of the NZXT motherboard
I kind of like the look of it, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the £279 price tag, or the massive amount of probably unnecessary heat sinks to enable that look ;) Perhaps those heat sinks are incredibly functional and have proven themselves in performance benchmarks though?
it looks good fs but I’m not a fan NZXT having to pay more for minimal aesthetics
Apart from the ASUS ProArt mobos, NZXT's line of mobos are the types of boards that I wish would have a mini-ITX version.
@@jmal you'd think they all would want to do that sort of thing. The ITX stuff is all more expensive, right?
please make a video about Jonsbo c6 case with matx case & atx powersupply
Yeah, it’s a bit of a different type of case but it’s interesting you know it’s nice that cooler master kinda goes out their way and kinda make some different options for us instead of just a plain old square or rectangle box that we normally used to.
Anyway, Devon, have a happy new year and can’t wait to see what you’re doing in 2024
I bought this case for an old EATX board I wanted to use for a server. It's probably the nicest case I've worked with.
Looks so nice dude and the specs Love it
i love it i have been waiting for it since the original QL500 and QL300 i even contacted cooler master about what they could do to the original QL500 and QL300
and i owned the QL500 and QL300 and did mod them obtain things this new case offers natively
this is exactly what we wanted back when the QL500 and QL300 launched
I have been planning to build a ITX case for some time now and came across your Channel, your videos give me a very good insight on what and what not to do when building a PC. I have all of the necessary informations to start buying all the parts but with every video you post I keep changing my mind on what parts to pick.
Your videos are so good that I keep changing my mind on what cases to buy...
Amazing work, this is a commendable no compromise build, well done!
5:24 if that piece you’re holding was after stripping paint, I’d keep that and do it to all pieces
This works great especially when we have to get them shipped overseas. I live in the Caribbean and I order from Amazon US. The smaller shipping volume is a god send as it drastically drops shipping cost compared to a regular case. That is the biggest advantage to using this case for me.
amazing, i like the build great job👍👍
its cool to see more SFF ATX cases rather than just ITX cases
The use case, is for people like me, who lives on an island without a computer store, and needs to ship it. The smaller box is huge for shipping cost and surviving the process. This is good for people who face logistics challenges.
Amazing videos as always !
Can you do a video about : your setup, your camera gear and how you do your videos (recording, stuff, techniques...) ?
Thanks ! And happy new year 😉
If you use it as a test bench, flip the PSU the opposite way so the cables are routed from the back which makes more clearance for big GPUs. Can't screw the PSU mount in but when it's a bench it's not moving anyway
Yes definitely. I do own that case and cooler right now. It’s a wonderful case
I'm not usually one to comment on UA-cam videos, but I wanted to say I've really been enjoying your videos lately. The content, production, and quality are all top notch. Also, I love seeing the Founders Edition cards; one of the best looking GPUs in my opinion. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!
Thanks so much! That means a lot to hear from you. Happy new year!
I did black case white component build using this case. It was very straight forward and I liked the outcome. it was a gift for someone in university which I think this fits perfectly for. smaller size and easy to move around, along with how you can customize the panels this is great for HS/college students.
I cannot wait to get my hands on that mobo, it’s sooooo clean
Great video as always! How did you remove the paint?
Dont stop i look forward to buidling a itx build for college in 2-3 years with one of your guides
im thinking of bying this casen just because it would work nice as a test bench and still isnt too expesive... nice video btw!
What you use to remove the paint I think that looks cool
I’m going to try this in the test bench mode, hopefully it doesn’t get crazy dusty
The aesthetics is my issue with this case as well. It's clever in other ways but the design is just very toy-like. I assume they were going for a LEGO/Mechanix vibe with this but I wish it built into something more subtle or elegant. Also, like some other reviews mentioned, the mesh filters they provide are very restrictive and if you remove them then the circular holes of the outside and angled slits on the inside clash badly.
I agree with the design language.. I actually like the case without the outer paneling !!
How did you remove paint from the panels? I'm guessing sand paper will work
I’m going to 3d print shared components in the coolermasters site and use it as a table next to my desk.
AWSOME
I want this with raw steel, no paint - and just the circle cut outs - I dont need the glass either.
- I don’t really get the design logic on the PSU being hung from the top with intake facing the front panel .
The width of the PSU will somewhat hinder smooth airflow for air coolers while the position probably doesn’t allow any adequate water coolers to be used due to restricted radiator length .
I am a fan of Cooler Master. I like their products for many years now. So what I am about to say is not about this particular version, but all similar.
I will tell you what my main issue is with these build your own PC case. Shipping. After you build it and have a full PC running, what happens if you need to ship the PC? The box it came with is useless. So how do you ship it? How do you transport it?
I like the look of the case, I think it would look better in orange, though the brushed look is good too with what you did. Nice touch.
I'm curious, what methods did you use to strip the paint off? I've always wanted to remove the paint from an s300 case, to look more uniform with the shiny, metal I/O panel along the base. And maybe replace the handle to achieve a sort of diesel punk aesthetic (with some amber-colored rgb lighting on the inside, of course).
I used Klean Strip! www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-qt-Premium-Paint-Remover-and-Stripper-QKPS301/307995061?g_store=6361&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D24-024_034_SOLV_CLEANER-NA-Multi-NA-PLALIA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-FY21_Sundries_PLALIA&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D24-024_034_SOLV_CLEANER-NA-Multi-NA-PLALIA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-FY21_Sundries_PLALIA-71700000075826952-58700006496586425-92700058691145358&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADq61UfEoIXh8di1WRtq_egotfpe8&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnfmsBhDfARIsAM7MKi3ezTyd4Ku2Q37j7XK16yK1d1S-kWvXxGL74amAOgF0TK3MEEXbMQQaAsToEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
This is pretty cool but only at the right price. I think $80-$90 is fair but this would sell a lot better if it was price below $70 get rid of the tempered glass and replace with another metal mesh panel and i'd consider it for my next build.
4 month late for comment
i've waited this case since release and finally seeing on local store
but so sad, variants that official Cooler master shop sold in my place are already pre-build so i would received full build instead of build from ground.
i guess i would wait for black friday maybe they put flatpack variant
Huge ++ for test bed convertability
I'll probably buy it for that alone.
Yes, I've had my eye on it a while, and also a Streacom bench table. But just realised the second one is probably overkill. Not that I wouldn't want one as a luxury indulgence.

What is that case?
The airflow on this case "looks" rough. Im sure its not, just my conjecture, It looks like it would benefit from ducting
sir make a vidoe about Jonsbo C6 case with matx motherboard and atx psu, please it's a humble request.
At first I wanted this case.....then I looked up it's overall size. If it was smaller then yes, but for this dimensions I opted for less work, and bought Lian Li O11 air mini case for about same price in my country.
how do you like the air mini, I'm split between the case in the video, the air mini, and the asus ap201 and I'm finding it hard to decide.
@neotlk8950 it all depends, available space on desk, and your esthetic....Asus ap-201 can't fit ATX motherboard while others 2 can. Lian Li O11 air mini should have lower temps since PSU is in back, comes with 3 pretty decent fans. With custom brackets it can also fit 360 radiator as Asus ap-201, unlike Qube 500. Lian Li O11 air mini is bit wider than other 2...... Like I mentioned it all depends. For me, personally I'm happy with Lian Li O11 air mini case. Price in your location matter too.
@@antoniocepaj7544 thank you, I have an matx motherboard but am seeking quiet while still cooling well and reducing the size of my case, I'll probably go for the lian li
I love the look of the paint stripped panels, how did you do it?
I think it turned out cool, too! You’ll need to get paint stripper (I used Klean Strip from my hardware store) and some patience. I liked the brush on paint stripper better than the spray. Definitely don’t recommend using a steel wool brush to get the paint off once it’s set in the solution. Just let the panel sit for a bit longer and use a plastic scraper and elbow grease. I got an electric polisher and plan to polish it up even nicer when I get some time.
@@devyn.johnston Thanks for the info, I have some leftover orange based stripper that worked well on painted wood but not sure it will be strong enough for metal. But if you did chemical based I'll give it a try!
Good luck!! I got this one since it says good for paint on metal. www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-qt-Premium-Paint-Remover-and-Stripper-CA-Formula-QKPS301SC/307995062
Did you use anything special to strip the paint off the grills? I was thinking of painting mine a blood red
I went to my hardware store and got Kleen Strip. They have spray and then pour/brushable versions. I liked the pour better than the spray.
it looks good but the glass didnt fit the look
Cooler Master is very nice.
I wish cooler master just focused on nr200 successor.. instead of this
Agree with you, i like the vent hole to be the same size and shape.
jonsbo c6 handle
Hi I have 2200 dollars can I buy this ? And if i cant what the best pc with this case
Is it really "anything" if it can't even fit ODD?

jonsbo c6 handle with m-atx motherboard & atx psu , please make a video about it
so, it is a expensive complicated case for people who dont have a job or a need for such case
I was Jebaited
I didn't realize in 2023, dust was eliminated. PC case companies seem to be going backwards in terms of filters and such
