Would actually like to see a proper build with this case and PSU on the main channel.
Yeah Looks nice and think about custom builds with nicely colored cables.
@@MilchGamer1 I don't think that there are cable extensions out there for this case/psu because the cables are specifically made for this one case
@@martito1014 cablemods would probably have it soon, they do a modular cable (not extension, but a replacement) for a few high end psu i think
Check it out in Techtesters youtube chanel. She already has it built in and gives you the idea of what to think of the case once it's been built in.
I was waiting the whole time to see what the actual build looks like in the case, then the video ended 😐
I like to think that company's send products to Linus as a cheaper alternative to doing durability and wear testing.
State of the art drop testing
Never seen before testing
How many times can it be dropped and still work ??
My daughters get crazy about his style:"daddy, why he smashes and throws everything!?!" "daddy, why he is so careless?!!" "daddy, I can't watch, he is breaking it!", what is fun about it? They are 5y and 8y....lol...
LTT Drop certified from 3 feet
Linus: I don't ever read the user manual Also Linus: Tears apart almost the entire case when everything is easily accessible.
This was the most frustrating part for me. Like whyyyyyy!!!!
The way Linus just throws this case around all episode TERRIFIES me
When he swung the door wildly open I half expected to hear it crash against something... The man is a maniac lol
That actually looks really neat, would love to see a full build in that case.
Lol he told at the end he'll do it in the main channel.
I'd like them to test idle power draw on LTT main channel. If it's the same as 12V only motherboards then I reaaally like it.
Is nobody going to talk about how it could only take a motherboard and an upside down orientation? Who puts their PC on the left side of them?
me too!
I wish the window was on the other side though
you know, for Seasonic's first attempt at a case, it's surprisingly good! I'd say that gives us two options: either Seasonic are just that good, in which case they should make more cases or designing a good case is much easier than we thought and most case manufacturers out there are a bunch of incompetent idiots
Both are correct.
To be fair, this is quite an expensive case. More budget for those little details.
@@Erowens98 i think since its the 1st iteration you're paying to cover some of the R&D costs
Or it could be they have factories that also design/only manufacture cases for other brands.
Yes.
"Why are there RGB and fan extension cables?" So you could plug those two cables into your motherboard and route literally EVERY RGB and fan cable in the system to the distro block. Lights and fans account for 80% of the visible cable clutter in a case these days. It's like Seasonic threw in a free fan and RGB hub so you didn't need to buy one. "Why did they put so much thought into RGB for this case and not include any RGB?" Look, you haven't fully grasped the point of this case. The case was not designed to accommodate the power supply. The case AND the power supply were designed together as a PLATFORM. Seasonic have basically said, "You want a case that can handle RGB? Done. You want it to handle 10 fans and radiators? No problem. Don't want to take up space and cram separate RGB and fan controllers into the back of the case? Our distro block is the only hub you need." They are deliberately minimizing aesthetic choices so you can use this platform to build anything from a showpiece PC to an under-the-desk workhorse. You can swap this power supply out in the future and not have to rewire your entire system. You can swap out your motherboard, and since the fans and LEDs are hooked into the distro block, you don't have to re-route a bunch of tiny cables so they reach the new header locations on the new motherboard. I really like where this is going, and I hope they make it a standard of some kind so more cases and power supply vendors can do something similar.
Also, Is that inverted ATX?
@@ostapkurtash6359 What are the disadvantages of inverted ATX, perhaps AIO might not work or fit?
@@sethhu20 The heat from gpu is directly pointing at the AIO radiator on top. Installing the AIO block to the front and moving the intake fans to the TOP as exhaust would mitigate somewhat but then you will be relying on a single intake fan from the rear plus bottom holes. This case screams air cooling for the cpu so then you have direct airflow from the intake fans -> cpu fan -> rear as exhaust. But unfortunately I really want AIO block for the cpu. Custom loop is also possible but it gets really expensive really fast and it can really messy really fast.
So this is essentially the endgame case/power-supply solution... Once you have this, you should never need to upgrade either of those 2 things again, only replace the power supply itself it is going faulty.The rest of it seems so well thought out that I couldn't see a reason to want a different case after owning that...
@@dwalters98 Pretty much my thinking. After having a few days to think about it, my only other concern would be the distribution block itself failing. They designed this case with external venting for that block...why? Are they afraid high system temps will shorten the lifespan of its internal components, or are they just compensating for the poor airflow on the back of the case? As long as you set the fans up so the case has decent positive or negative pressure then there should be enough air passing through the block to keep the insides from melting down in overclock situations. Also Linus thinks there is only 12V power coming out of the main PSU, but based on the number of wires and lack of active cooling, I am going to bet they kept all of the voltage switching gear in the main PSU. Power conversions are where the heat happens.
For their first time making a case, that is fantastic! I want a Full ATX version!

2020: building an entire build around your power supply. Lol
Seasonic has become a joke.
Because everything else is out of stock...
to be fair.. with the prices of psu's these days, theyre the second most expensive part in most budget builds these days.
tbf, the psu is probably the longest lasting part along with the case and maybe heatsink, you can use a 10-15 years old one if it has enough power, and if like me you had to size for a phenom II x6 and a gtx 480 at some point it probably can. and this one can also potentially adapt to 12vo with just a distro plate upgraade if it becomes a thing in the next 10 years. in most cases you don't need to swap your case out if it can fit the format of your mobo, unless you want to switch to compact (itx) pcs. so getting a mobo+case deal is ok if that means having clean cable management and the case fits your needs.
All chords lead to psu

0:29 thats what she said
😂
It's the tiny hands.
For being their first case, I'm really impressed. Good use of magnets and filters, good out of the box airflow, good cable management, and the power supply configuration is a game changer.
Love the idea, please do a build in the case but can you do it as a live video so we can learn what works or doesn’t as you do. I’d like to see strange boards test fit and other stuff to explore this Personally I like the case quite a bit and I was a fan of the PSU design but concerned a normal case might not fit it right
Agreed, I'm in the market for a new case since I'm practically building a new gaming rig, and this would be a good choice, but I wanna know if it can fit a 240mm radiator up front without removing the 3.5" drive bay.
@@Brando56894 I third this.
kitguru did a build using this case
The included Nidec fans are a genius idea. You want RGB? You sell them (they go for a significant amount of money), and with the money you raise you buy whatever kind of RGB you want. You don't want RGB? You keep them, and you don't need to upgrade fans because you already have some of the best in the market. Seasonic leaves the choice to you, while at the same time helping you a lot with whatever choice you make. Hard to say if this was actually intended, but it is brilliant regardless. If anyone from SS is reading, you guys might actually have a serious talent for designing cases. Don't let it go to waste.
Still have to replace them with Noctua fans :p
I’m actually really excited about the case, it’s hard to find good inverted layout cases
What's the advantage/appeal of an inverted layout case?
@@xqr2911 it’s different, but more importantly, less impedance on your mouse area
It got really poor thermal results during techpowerups review
@@xqr2911 I do think gpu doesn't warm your cpu so much. All the heat goes to to top then it could be a good points. But you cant always fit the gpu you want and it's like your motherboard io is on top rather than behind. I guess some people prefer. but i think it's harder to put HDD in those
That inverted atx layout is really tripping my brain.
@@kwisatzsawyer Imagine it but the GPU fans are facing up! Not much different really
It's also problematic. Everything else is fine but it'll fuck up the cooling on GPUs, which will be sucking the rising hot air back down to cool the card. It won't be a massive effect, but you will run hotter than standard layout, unless you watercool your GPU.
@@kwisatzsawyer You'd have to mount it upside down; PCI-E at the top, cpu at the bottom, io on the right. It was confusing me as well, I was convinced the video was mirrored until I noticed the GPU IO ports at the top.
@@kwisatzsawyer the board is upside down, not much more to it really
@@Demmrir you could run your intake at the top and force feed cool air to your GPU
My favorite part of this power supply is that if I wanted to just replace it down the line with a better one of the same variety, I don't have to redo any of my cable runs.
And how often will that happen? Once every 25 years?
I suppose that would be the case with fully modular PSUs as well, but this is definitely a cleaner solution
@@mina86 I mean, if you want to upgrade to a more beefy GPU/CPU that draws more power you just have to swap the PSU module and bam, that's it
@@0909JWI, so you do it once and then for the next 25 years you can use the same PSU.
@@mina86 Who actually has a case and PSU like that and uses the same GPU for 25 years?
I love how cleanly these all go together
"What do you think of this case" "This video is sponsored?" "Yeah" "Looks great."
I was very sceptical at first, but in this case at least, it's a cool idea. I want to see you try to add this power supply to a case not made for it.
Pun intended?
Didn't he do that with the first gen version of this?
Yes, but going from memory the first gen was much smaller than this second ‘brick’.
Two different systems - the first one they debuted was universal, this one I'm almost positive is not. Look at where the 24 pin & GPU power come out of the backplane of this newer one, look at where they come through the case; don't think you're gonna find another case that supports the new one. And, that's why they made it larger with more cooling, and with different connector placement, they chose to make compromises by designing this and this case specifically to be used with each other(granted, the case is still 'universal' while the PSU+backplane isn't). Look back at reviews of the original model, it's deliberately designed for the "conventional/traditional" ATX + floor mounted PSU + fore/aft airflow(in other words, none of these newer cases that have airflow through the side, like the Derbauer Lian Li cases, my InWin 303, etc.) cases with the way that the backplane connectors are laid out. I suspect they'll offer both, maybe, possibly, because of the aforementioned design differences... but I have no idea because I can't get beyond the fucking CloudFlare pre-page to see what is and isn't listed on their site...
Who remembers when Linus used to measure foam thickness on the sides and corners back when he used to do case reviews
I like the case. I hope the distribution piece catches. I also like it when a good piece of equipment is thoroughly explained. Thanks Linus.
This combo looks way tempting for my waaay overdue new build. Bravo Seasonic, hope it finds a receptive market.
Pretty surprised you didn't drop that case unboxing it lmao Also that case looks a lot like a Sama S35 until you open it
it gave me anxiety seeing him do it lol
@@IvanTube0 omg.. at least 5 times I clinched my butt.
5:25 was a close call
I just posted anxiety comment prior to seeing this...ty for validation
Linus: What case does it go in? Seasonic: Umm, give us a sec... Yep, here you are.
i also like the fact that it has the flipped atx layout. left side cases are unique and free up space for my mouse area. that clean cable mgmt looks like a winner also.
This is a terrific move on Seasonic's work. It's awesomesauce seeing a way to make cable management easier inside a case!!! I can't wait to see an LTT video using this case and PSU.
I would love an actual build inside this case (with extra rgb because of the 100 rgb connectors on the power supply lmao)
An RGB strip inside the wide gap of the front panel would look so awesome! It is a shame Seasonic didn't include it.
lol for real. I love Linus but holy crap does he handle product ROUGH
@@ultimomos5918 so true
He says that at the end of the video
Instead of pre-drilled reservoir mounts, they should have that empty panel be magnetic/removable and you can swap it out with an included panel which has the pre-drilled mount holes.
or they should make a magnetic reservoir, no holes needed
yes magnet all the things
why not have 2 versions, one with pre-drilled holes and one without
I don't think an extra panel that only has to two more hole in it is worth the material
@@Felix-Maus More versions = more confusion which leads to less sales, & a chance of one of the versions staying long on the shelf.
this is so cool, if I actually am able to build my first PC next year this could be the way. i think this would help a lot of newer PC builders too who arent too sure on how to cable manage or those who just want like a super clean looking PC, good job Seasonic. :)
I really really like what SeaSonic is doing here. Been a fan of them for a bit now after buying their fanless PSU. I appreciate that they are thinking outside the box (no pun intended) and coming up with weird designs.
"Why is it so tight" I don't think Linus hears himself sometimes

This is a case that genuinely excites me. Some actual innovation going on, great radiator, pump and reservoir support, and the opportunity for short run custom cables. As well as tying in RGB control for those that don't have something decent. May buy this.
I wish this could be something you could use in ANY case. I get making money and all that, but come on this products can sell itself without a computer case being required. With the way this thing is built, they have pretty much just limited their reach for sales.
this product doesn't solve a problem. We already route PSU cables behind trays, side chambers, etc, and then pop them out right were it's needed, so this isn't any cleaner than any other modern case. I think it's neat, but it doesn't seem to offer anything in the end result.
@@sluflyer06 Same could be said for so many aspects. Cases have become stagnant, and many 'features' go unused or solve no problems. It's about whether the individual sees a use case for the product. At least they're introducing something different.
I'm in love and I want to buy asap. I bought the Seasonic Fanless PSU and it has been a blissful experience of providing all the juice I could ever want without the turbojet SFX when gaming. Damn, Seasonic know how to engineer.
This case actually looks really good. I'm gonna consider this case for my next build.
The inverted atx (for me 1st one) looks very trippy
@@XBitX he did mention it
I haven't seen any 3.5" drive bays which is kind of a deal-breaker for me. This cases looks great as well :'(

@@hotmailcompany52 He noted there are 2 next to the psu and 3x2.5" drive bays.
Wow, im actually impressed with how good the cable management and usability is. I would totally buy that setup
I’d totally buy it. I’ve been looking for a replacement of my HAF 992, and the XPG invader caught my eye for the amazingly easy removal of the front panel filter. This one seems to fit that as well, and the connect is really neat

Add the “and hopefully their asian size..” 😆
I really hope this thing becomes more popular so it becomes more mainstream. Absolutletely love it
But only cases with abot 5cm space for Management can Use
They should sell the case with the psu pre wired.
It is cool indeed, but does it make an actual difference compared to good cable management? I personally hope that the new intel 12V standard will get mainstream in a couple of years. I don't really like wasting all that energy while the pc is in idle (for me about 95% of teh time)

Really impressed with Seasonic's PSUs already. I'm even more impressed with their first case. It looks pretty sleek!
Huh, neat. I appreciate someone trying to simplify the rats nest, even if it's proprietary and really only designed with this case in mind. I'd consider this case for sure, even without the fancy hub doodad.
idk if the cable management will work as nicely if u dont get the hub
I imagine this is just a first (consumer available) pass at this kind of case, the idea is great. If it gains traction, it can be retooled to different styles/looks etc. I'd buy an O11 Dynamic look almost immediately.
Honestly, this is probably the only PC case thats made me go "yea I want this one for sure and no other" - like its so thought out and well rounded with most that regular PC builders would want?
I'd definitely buy it. Good airflow nice dust filters, ect. Already have an 011 D though with custom loop.
what a beautiful case from an unexpected contender. I love the way this power supply and cable management works together. would love to see this as a new trend

I love that it's a backwards mounting system compared to most other cases, having the motherboard 'upside down' is a cool aesthetic, keeps the pump of an all in one at the bottom of the loop, and allows you to see your graphics card better without needing a sideways mount. Overall that case looks great with all the modularity and thought put into it.
@Greg Scott The distance from the GPU is one of the reasons i bought the case i have, the PSU shroud is at the top of the case. but the M/B is normal orientation so my card is at the bottom above the intake.
all logo's and text will be upside down. my ocd is going mad
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice everything is backwards

Having a case that’s thoughtful of the connector hub looks incredibly clean, I might actually do this for my build if other manufacturers don’t decide to support it That being said, Seasonic and the PSU industry should absolutely standardize the size of connector hubs like this so more cases can accommodate them in the future
I will be building my next PC in this case. unless something better comes out before then.
0:28 - "Why is this so tight?" First time Linus has said this in his life.
inside his wife
He has said it a lot
Now we need a build video in the case, to see if it really works. I was a bit disappointed that he did not do it in this video.
nah, this is short circuit. they reserve the build videos for main channel every time
Its short circuit they just unbox on this channel and do basic dive in
wrong channel for builds, this one is just for first impressions
Looks like it would fit pretty nicely in side mounts of an O11D, or just about any other case where you can remove a cover or three to get full access through to the back side. When I saw the first Connect, years ago, I decided that would be my next PSU. Now I'm rethinking that.
I was so chuffed when I saw the thumbnail, thinking that Seasonic did some innovation in the world of PSUs and the slim brick was THE PSU. Now that would have been cool..

I just got a new system but I would love this case/PSU O_o Hope they keep doing this kind of thing (Seasonic)! :)
This is friggin awesome. It's like cable management easy-mode.
This is an awesome idea. It's the way to go to bridge the gap between the current standard and the 12VO standard. First case in a while I'm really considering buying
Now the nicest thing would be if Seasonic included a 12VO cable with the PSU, and the hub would only be used for PCIe power and as a fan/RGB controller.
It's stupid, this psu is useless in any other case, the conversion to 5v and 3.3v still happens somewhere, it's just not in the main psu case properly cooled by a psu fan. It ruins compatibility, you buy this crap you have to keep buying seasonic, if they don't drop this project which is likely. There is zero benefit between this and a standard modular psu
@@25566 If you can somehow mount the hub in a standard case so that its ports are not obstructed, you can use this in there too, and the cables will be a bit tidier, and you have a fan+RGB hub. 12VO will definitely be more widely adopted at some point, so this is an experimental middle-ground until then. The PSU and the case are the two most timeless components of a system, they remain compatible with new hardware for decades, and they don't need a firmware update. Seasonic makes quality power supplies, so it can be expected to last more than 20 years. This combo is a relatively safe purchase, as it will probably be functional even in the 2040s. Not up to the aesthetic standards of that era, but functional. Provided it is taken care of properly, obviously. So there is no chance of buyer's remorse. Computers also don't consume exponentially more power, so today's 650W-1000W PSUs will still be good enough. Even if Seasonic pulls a Google on this project, you will not be screwed super hard. By the time you would want to buy a new case, you would be buying a new PSU as well anyway.
@@matekovacs2696 the cables will not be "tidier" than a modular psu, you are losing a ton of space on the back to fit that thing, you still have cables going everywhere. The psu I bought in 2012 is still good and will be until it dies, the case I bought in 2012 is ugly and outdated. If i had bought this stupid product, I would have to buy a big case that can fit that "power bar" abomination at the back, and it will be as messy if not more than a regular modular psu. But i bought a STANDARD modular psu and that thing will fit in ANY case.
@@25566 If your goal is compatibility and modularity, this design isn't as good as a fully modular PSU, and it isn't as clean as ATX 12VO, we are on the same page regarding that. But this case and this PSU together is really neat, and you can use the case with any other PSU. This will obviously be obsolete when 12VO becomes widespread, but until then, this is a great option. And if you like this and buy it, it will still work when 12VO becomes the norm, so you won't have to "upgrade". I assume that current PSUs will be forward-compatible with the help of a 24pin+PCIe to 12VO adapter. For backwards compatibility with pre-12VO components, you will need a power bar like this. Actually I bet that Seasonic will release a different powerbar, that has an ATX12VO connector instead of the 24-pin, and doesn't have the 12V to 5V and 3.3V conversion in it.
Seasonic : "Create a problem, sell the solution".
the distribution itself is a solution to bad cable management; I would say you can use the distribution thingy in any case but it would just hang there unless you modify your case yourself; or you can just buy both the case and the distribution to have a clean setup

Impressions are still the same as before. Feels too proprietary and is a solution thats looking for a problem. Cable management in anything besides small form factors is a non-issue for the vast majority of cases/builds.
That is true, I think this is still a niche product aimed for the people who will buy modded cables; but for a first attempt there should be only up from here if it's truly any good!
There is already an exception to the rule, the verge
if you reinvent the wheel make sure its more complicated hide complexity by design make it less repairable and way more expansive.
kenny jeffree 1 second ago you can actually use a bog standard power supply in this, if you rewatch the video, you would see that in place of the distro block there is a separate for you to use as a cable management box if you were to use more common purpose power supplies. Besides this sort of this is going to become more common place as seasonic are not the only ones deviating from standard power supplies. Intel have been working on one with another company and even nvidia are moving away from your standard pci power connectors.
In regards to the whole reservoir thing, they could of pre-drilled the holes like you suggested but to keep the clean aesthetic, they could of added a magnetic plate cover for it. That way it still looks clean and keeps the functionality, plus they really already like magnets.
just ordered it ^^ so looking forward to build in this beauty
Where from? i cant find it anywhere?
@@nightowlarchive future-x german/austrian store, since I'm Austrian ^^ Where u from? Contacted seasonic early January and they said case would hit Europe by the end of January. Not sure for other regions tho
@@lukaslauermann1984 I'm from the United States. I don't think were gonna be getting them anytime soon
@@nightowlarchive sorry to hear that. Maybe go to seasonics site and write them when to expect to be able to buy it. If you use the icon in the lower right corner, they usually get back to you within a day
"This is kinda looking like the way" A man of culture I see. This is the way.
This is the way
This is the way.
"Is this Seasonic's first case?" - you literally did a build in the 90s case they did a couple of months ago
They also sell new cases other than this one
How would he figuratively have done it? Lose the literally. Use another word for emphasis like "actually" or any of the hundreds of English words.
@@brianfong5711 Literally copied from Merriam-Webster. Look at point b. Definition of literally 1 : in a literal sense or manner: such as a : in a way that uses the ordinary or primary meaning of a term or expression He took the remark literally. a word that can be used both literally and figuratively b -used to emphasize the truth and accuracy of a statement or descriptionThe party was attended by literally hundreds of people. c : with exact equivalence : with the meaning of each individual word given exactly The term "Mardi Gras" literally means "Fat Tuesday" in French. d : in a completely accurate way a story that is basically true even if not literally true
@@mikeuk1927 No see "Figuratively". literally raining cats and dogs vs. figuratively raining cats and dog They have totally different meanings.
@@brianfong5711 you do realize words change meaning with time right? The main usage of language is to convey one's thought and pretty much everyone uses the word literally in the same way now. No need to correct people in youtube comments.
Cable management king Can't wait to see a build in that case Linus
I really like this concept and it's so well executed.
On this episode of 'Linus nearly breaks things'...
Linus: "Pre-drilled reservoir mount holes" 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄: "𝑴 𝒂 𝒈 𝒏 𝒆 𝒕 𝒊 𝒄 𝒓 𝒆 𝒔 𝒆 𝒓 𝒗 𝒐 𝒊 𝒓 𝒎 𝒐 𝒖 𝒏 𝒕"
That’s one really well engineered case, impressive for a newcomer!
I like the idea of this. My last build I spent hours routing cables cleanly and running back to the store to get some stupid adapter or extension. ( it was a compact build which I won’t do again)
Just wanted to say I love your guys' content and thank you.
So you want me to connect a massive breakout box to my already big power supply?
not all power supplies are compatible with the module. I bet your already big power supply still has the 24 pin 6+2 and 4+4 connectors. Watch the video again
@@doctor9633 I understand that. But I meant the PSU nowadays is the bulkiest part of the system. I'm running a Corsair SF powersupply which looks smaller than the "main" powersupply in this system alone. Plus there didn't seem to be much benefit to buy a proprietary system that will most likely be made redundant in a couple years due to lack of demand as we've seen time and time again.
@@Beterr If you dont like this then you're not the target market. I am just baffled by your question thinking that they want you to connect the module to your current power supply like you didnt watch the video. They dont want you to buy this and connect it to your current power supply, they are trying to prepare for the future of the power supply industry. You watch linus techtips and I assume you dont live under a rock so I will assume that you know whats coming up with the power supplies and motherboards in the very near future where somehow part of the power supply is now on the motherboard. This is a new product. They will shrink the power supply in the future . Again your initial comment doenst make sense if you actually watch the video. They dont care about what power supply you have now.
@@doctor9633 you didn't really answer his question. Instead of having one (big) power supply, now you have one big power supply and a huge breakout box. What's the benefit of that? That system takes up much more space compared to a normal power supply. And in most cases you can't see the cables anyway.
@@doctor9633 I never said they expect me to connect it to my current system without getting a new power supply, so please don't assume. Second, the new technology coming from intel which shifts motherboards to only requiring 12v power would make this product not needed. Third, this power supply basically wouldn't work without being put into this system. The cables are preplanned for this case. This means that larger case manufacturers would have to adopt this technology, but because of this up and coming intel technology. I highly doubt that. If we still lived in 2005 where back panels and cable management wasn't a thing. Sure this is a pretty cool idea. But every case manufacturer has already worked out cabling which is why we have the neat computers we have today!
This inverted layout is really interesting! It makes sense to have the GPU fans at the top for exhaust / intake right by the case!
Really like this concept. I'll bet we'll be seeing more of this.
Linus: "I'm checking the manual" What!!! Noooooooo .....Traitor!!
We don't check the manual because "I know what I'm doing!", but when he does check it, nope, no useful info. Reinforcing why we don't read manuals.
Look how they massacared my boi

I want to see more of this in the future :) I think as an upgrade I'd actually use this, with more options of course.
i really like it, this way you could get whatever cables you need, then adjust the PSU power/efficiency/size to whatever you want at the time. Also (re)building a system must be a lot easier and faster with this
Why do the end credits have Nick Light as the shooter when Linus mentioned Nicole was shooting it?
Darnit John!
Because it is entirely possible that she likes being called Nick.
@@bexgreen1476 But Nick Light is a guy.
It's mentioned it in the description, it's an error
Happy Diwali to all viewers and “Linus Media Group “ all members of Linus Media Group for bringing these very informative video and teaching us new things One again Happy Diwali (it’s a festival ) Thanks “Linus Media Group “.
HAPPY DIWALI!!!!
Happy Diwali🇮🇳
the idea of branching the PSU to an AIO unit to pull wireing off the Mobo connectivity, drives, fans, and other aspects is amazing. i like this idea. can NEVER have too many fan connectors. 2020 has been a good year for innovating the PC.
Really appreciate that Seasonic hasn’t tried to reinvent the wheel in terms of case fans. Nidec makes super high quality server grade stuff and the Gentle Typhoon fans included with this case are very nearly Noctua level in terms of sound while matching them in performance. Having 4 included with the case is a great value add.
Gentle Typhoons were the absolute business when they originally came out. I was amazed to hear earlier this that they were still in production but unfortunately couldn't get any for my machine due to human malware:(
Who gave Linus gloves...im expecting things to go flying even more than usual.
We figured out how to make our power supplies bigger! -Seasonic
Can't wait for the full build in this, coming up on Linus Tech Tips!
Yay! Reverse case! Now I need smaller version of this for matx/mini itx build.
"why it's soo tight" thats what he said
@@MadGelo someone has experience i guess XD
5:24 Linus almost drop tips pt.69
I miss linus drop tips
It even stops the music ahah
Noice, son :D
I literally froze, imagining that glass panel shattering on impact 😬 😬
