[@MrPruske]

i like seeing the frustration the case could cause. thank you for not cutting it out T! the detail in the review was excellent.

[@danielgaudet6114]

I think the hand clapping was supposed to help him find the spot back in post production to remove that spot by looking at the waveform, but he must of missed it.

[@merwinpique]

It includes a manual 😉

[@OC3D]

I decided to leave it all in... Its all part of the fun. The bottom of mine was fine after that first time.

[@MrPruske]

@@merwinpique you mean the manufacturer's opinion? XD

[@Leester-70]

Eh, new stuff can be tight like that.

[@JoshBains]

Well Done! You're the only reviewer that mentions the inconvenient cable design in which one has to always open the side panel when plugging anything into the Mobo. 17:17. If I had seen this video before purchase I would have not gone with this case as I constantly tend to run out of usb ports.

[@anzzz88]

my first time build PC using this case. i having an headache. spent two days to finish the instalation. but still got few things wrong. might fix it in the future when i have time.

[@michaelthompson9798]

Every time I see this case and the reviewer states “it’s an mini ITX case” I just 😂🤣😅 so hard as it’s mini server size / ATX case takes up more desk space then an E-ATX case. But as always a great review by TTL 👍🥰.

[@Zanzibar2Far]

That's MASSIVE for an ITX!

[@LethaR_YT]

Yeah man I’m sure there are normal atx cases that are smaller than that xD

[@WilliamChoochootrain]

@@LethaR_YT maybe not smaller, but roughly the same physical presence, which is enough to make this not really worth it as an ITX case.

[@keziz1243]

I want to buy it how good is it really

[@jaygobolos9302]

lol...i just put a Mini-ITX in a build i just did.

[@MrPruske]

this case has a beautiful back door Tom- giggle

[@Murph9000]

I could be wrong, but I think you've got the fans on the radiator pulling air in. I believe that position is supposed to be an exhaust, creating negative pressure overall. That should then make the passive intakes for the GPU work better. It's still going to be a warm case for a top end card, but I think you're missing out on some of the potential airflow.

[@Adx86]

I don't know about you guys, but I am in love with this case till today as it is the best on my opinion, tell this time.

[@Bigheadedwon]

At least in the US, these are $149 right now, I looked into it and don't know if that's a sell price for Xmas or the new price. I just got mine today. For $280 I wouldn't even think about it. But for $150? The build quality's really, really high. 5 minutes with it made me understand why my In Win was a much cheaper case. There's nothing wrong with it, it's pretty nice actually. But the Z11 feels 3 steps up build wise. Haven't actually put my PC together because I'm still waiting on the rest of the parts. But this is a quality case.

[@Dragon228833]

I just bought it for $50 on Newegg. I have no idea how to build a pc but I have a feeling that I won’t be seeing this kind of deal again

[@Bigheadedwon]

@@Dragon228833 Never built a PC and bought this? I've built maybe 100. You'll definitely learn in this case lol.

[@MA5T3R_P]

Just got mine for 40 new will be doing hardline waterloop for gpu and cpu

[@MA5T3R_P]

​@@Dragon228833take your time i feel if i can build in razer tomahawk itx i can build in this lol

[@BuGsYBD]

As someone who just assembled this Case, he's right. But, if you take your time, keep it clean with tight loops, it turns out to be a nice setup. ROG Strix X570-I ROG Strix 750W PSU 6800 XT Considering I just did a build with a Helios cast, the cable management was as frustrating as connecting the back IO.

[@ArikGST]

That ITX Case is larger than my ATX case xD

[@ReiHost]

I've followed you for years and I have never seen you struggle with a case so mightily--And you didn't even disassemble some of the many interior pieces that not only require tools but seemed to feature screws in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” Worse, this is allegedly an ITX case and it seems large enough to have a gravitational pull. All to give us two orientation options, neither of which seem to allow air flow and when vertical appears wobbly to my eyes. On the bright side, it has a fan hub mess and the motherboard sits at an angle, making every day its owner ever needs to insert a cable into the rear i/o a reminder they should have bought anything else. This is a monstrosity and when you couldn't get the rear / bottom / whatever panel off, you should have given up there and thrown it in a nearby river. Other than those concerns, the case has me interested.

[@hugsanddrugs]

Asus: Releases massive 40L ITX chassis. Also Asus: Yeah, no, probably not enough room for our new triple-slot RTX 3080/3090 Strix GPUs.

[@banner7310]

Asus expanding to cases now? Sweet. Dont flame me if they were for awhile, but my pc is 4 years old and its time to upgrade so now im shopping.

[@WilliamChoochootrain]

Dayum, looking fresh with that new cut, Mr Logan.

[@DavidDufourq]

Great review Tom as always thanks!

[@anukulbhatra]

Helios be like : my jobs on trouble

[@mikeschimminger7886]

Why would full cutom water cooling a 3080 be crazy? That is absolutely my plan when I finally get my hands on one.

[@PatrickDKing]

I've had this case for a few years now. I cannot stress enough how poorly it was designed and how much of a huge inconvenient pile of shit it truly is. You literally cannot just plug in anything because the edge of your motherboard is internal and not flush with the edge/external like every other mother board and case would be.

[@Excalabur50]

Another wee ripper of a review, Thanks Guv!

[@terabitdefiance8022]

i noticed theyre starting to get this case out to reviewers. why arent they going to say when its coming out. this month, next month, next year? just get preorders going(i like the look of the case.)

[@Bigheadedwon]

great review, this is a sweet looking case I'm gonna order one in a couple days. I think I might even get brave and try to mount the AIO in the top. I know the cabling makes that almost impossible. But my idea's to only have a 90 degree USB C cable pluged in the MB and plug everything else into a TB4 dock. I think I want to have the case horziontally and I know having an AIO in the bottom of a case is a super terrible idea. And if the thermals turn out to be worse horziontally I could go vertical and still keep and use the TB4 dock. If nothing else that would make things worlds easier if you need to plug and unplug devices on any sort of regular basis. Which is one of the really bad points of this case. And I'll be running it with a lowly Acer Bifrost Arc A770 video card which is 2 slots high so I should be good there.

[@ImtiazReyazuddin]

Did you end up doing this build? please let me know of the problems you've encountered. Picked this case up for pretty cheap, thinking of returning it.

[@Bigheadedwon]

@@ImtiazReyazuddin Once I got the case and started to work with it I didn't even attempt to put the AIO in the top. I also didn't end up even trying to have it horizontal. It's a difficult case to work with, but I like it. I've had it over a year now and would probably go a different route if I knew what I knew. But only because I'm finally getting around to adding a GPU and 2 slot max is really limiting. I love how the case looks and don't have any issues with temps or anything in particular. Well I have an issue with how hard cabling is, so I never fully got that done. I got it working and did what I could and gave up before I had it like I wanted lol. Retail was a joke on this, but the last 3 times I saw it, it was $50-79 which is a steal if you can handle the difficulty of building in it and don't need a big GPU. IMHO it's a beautiful case and is extremely well built.

[@ImtiazReyazuddin]

@@Bigheadedwon Thank you for the reply. What drew me to this case was the price. I paid 1300zar which is about 70usd. I never had a premium case before and I wanted that experience. I still don't have the other components and I was thinking of an Rma as its not easy to open and close. It does look cool and I think you swayed me into keeping it. I'm just not a fan of the vertical orientation, it looks awkward. I guess i just need some time to accept it. Thanks again.

[@rikachiu]

Very sad about not being able to optimally use the strix 3080 with this case. Had the temps been decent, this would have been my next build. Oh well.

[@chojindan]

The ITX case isn't massive, it's just TTL is small. It's called perspective, people!

[@MeltdownDJ]

the rad can fit on top i have mine like that it only required 90 degrees angle cable and extension :)

[@mmmbe3r893]

The case looks great but it is disappointing to see the 3080 Strix isn't viable. More importantly what was your choice in whisky during the

[@philbayf]

Looks like the world's largest ITX case! Not sure what the target audience is for this, generally people building with ITX want SSF which this is certainly not.

[@Electrobix99]

I am looking at getting this to pair with the 5600x or 5800x and the Strix 6800xt LC. My only issue is that card needs to use the radiator slot on the back and worried an air cooler wont be enough for the CPU.

[@hypernovawolf]

What power supply is in the case?

[@drk9950]

I have a question. I know that the power supply can be mounted up to 160mm in this case. However, some communities have said that 180mm of ATX power will also be installed. How do I install a 180mm power supply?

[@ggzii]

What camera do you use, its great and quiet on the zooms

[@T.R.A.N.C.E]

I like the form factor and engineering, aesthetics could be better though.

[@gunstargizmo]

They designed this case for ROG components and a Strix card doesn't fit? Almost all of their higher end cards are the same length. A 3070 would be tight too. That's a deal breaker for me. I'll just stick to my Core P1.

[@MichaelJacob]

was there supposed to be a cut at 4:07?

[@OC3D]

Shhhhhh (yes)

[@MichaelJacob]

@@OC3D haha! I was kinda glad it wasn't cut. It looks like the panel was hard to remove and and it could lead to breaking a glass panel

[@jemickar4220]

hello, if you use a Asus ROG thor 850W power supply with a led for power consumption built in, would you be able to see the window with this case? thanks

[@bakerj3527]

Im planning to out a 3080 on this case. I only do gaming and light day to day stuff, would the 3080 fans being close to the glass cause som issues?

[@Corei14]

If it had a mesh like dust filter at the front then maybe

[@waitandhope]

They need to stop using front clips or whatever redesign using screws only

[@alessandroghiurcuta2800]

Good day to you, how about a BEAUTIFUL tower case to build into?

[@bk201xe]

i actually miss the squeaky tripod

[@joesaiditstrue]

Tom can you fit a 60mm thick 240 rad with a set of fans in this case?

[@ahmadjibawi8535]

Where the hdmi from gpu connect?

[@DecanFrost]

Is it an actual downgrade if you go from ATX to ITX motherboard? I mean, besides the obvious lack of PCI-E and M.2 slots, is there any performance drop?

[@ReiHost]

The only difference should be less features in exchange for a smaller size. When comparing boards in relative class, you may even find the same options for things like power delivery. Unless you use this case, at which point you get less features in exchange for a bigger size, additional complexity, poor design and unused space above the motherboard that cannot accept an AIO and a video card choking to death as you hold it flush against a pane of glass. I assume the last benefit is in the hopes you can get the gpu's lunch money to recoup the excessive price of the case.

[@prestonbasford4493]

Hey, I was woundering if a 2.75 slot gpu could fit in this case. I was thinking of getting a AORUS GeForce® RTX 2060 SUPER gpu for this case. If any one could help me out with this i would definitely appreciate it.

Would this case house a 3090 fe & crossfire impact 😛?

[@OC3D]

Thats a crosshair Impact in there - 3090 FE Ive not tested. the 3080 is fine though (also in the video)

[@AbyNeon]

its an 80 design hifi amplifier design adpated to put a motherboard inside... ASUS should think about doing 2030 designs and NOT 1980s stuff. for 240 pounds this case is as ugly as any other chassis u find for less.

There is no way I would buy that case even if I was I millionaire. Looks bad, design bad, price really bad, the only good point is its not deep but tall.

This not being a bad review, makes me sad. And made me unsubscribe Case looks pretty cool. Like every piece of diarrhea that ASUS pumps out of their china factory with an ROG stamp... Good job man. Keep selling out. We need these blatant examples to know who's worth watching
