[@UnboxMaster]

Paul, do you get to keep this PC or do you have to send it back to corsair and Asus?

[@mcunner]

Why not two overkill systems?

[@procedure7]

The link to buy the Corsair 1000D it is no available also it will be great to have Hackintosh and Windows it looks great I can't wait to see it full of radiators and see the temps Thank you!!!!

[@keltonjohnson6197]

Hey Paul! Nice video. Btw I just bought a 1080 last night at MSRP on Nvidia's website. They still have 1070's for 399 and 1070 TI's for 449!!! Maybe some other viewers can benefit from this sale.

[@larrywhite9552]

All I can say is WOW Paul

[@odinakazeus]

Paul always with his affordable builds.

[@paulshardware]

trying to keep things reasonable...

[@lucasrem]

dead abyss Need Pauls help, you got a PS4, poor people all do that! Need a $1500 gaming PC? Why you cry to Paul?

[@odinakazeus]

lucas rem English is probably not your first language... but I didn't really understand that, so I'm going to assume you're asking why I'm complaining? I'm not complaining, it's an ongoing joke.

[@lucasrem]

dead abyss Language on KZbin, are u a UK guy, or other Empire outskirts, Australia, Tasmania? Most people here do the cheap fake US version here, never needing any good language skills at all, nobody cares about UK or US versions of that English language, nerds just cry nerdy talk here. Anything unable to understand for you? pants, trousers, why use the multiple word for one item, still understanding what it is, one pair? or two trousers? Nedry people just cry, that's not a joke, just lame nerdy crying, no humor in it al all! Guess you need some community college, Most people never understand the nerdy cry here, why noobs do that?

[@odinakazeus]

lucas rem dude I have no idea what you said. SPEAK ENGLISH.

[@WayStedYou]

Just a nice cheap build this time around Paul?

[@lucasrem]

WayStedYou What do you run, old GTX 1080 system, or the new onboard 2018 crap? Time for onboard builds! or do the 2016 builds all over again channel!

[@chyrt]

what do you mean with the new 2018 crap?

[@lucasrem]

Geert Perton Go buy a 2018 system, and you understand it! You better buy old GTX 1080 cards if you still can! Name one 2018 system that is any better! NUC Vega 11? Wait till new nVidia $500 volta 2018 cards are on shelves, them build a system around that! Nobody needs a new build now! Paul is just uploading, that is what he does! Needed it now, NOT!

[@Pyromonkey83]

... Am I having a stroke?

[@lucasrem]

Pyromonkey83 having a stroke? Why you cry here? Needing nerdy attention?

[@johntotten4872]

I don't always spend $10k when I build my PC but when I do I watch how Paul does it first.

[@DB-wv1qp]

John Totten underrated comment here

[@Knockbump]

Wow you took all that tape off without letting us hear it..

[@josephnone3900]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@LennyTheSpacehamster]

it was so disappointing

[@lolyoyo100]

same i is maddest person now yeet yeet

[@drakademik6013]

Right? Like wtf?

[@papaquonis]

Oh, I like how they've hidden the cable management area behind doors. Excellent solution for a case of this size.

[@lucasrem]

PapaQ If cable management is your thing, i am sure you don't have any creativity in you! Why you cry about cables, PC building is just LEGO, need that mat to content them? Need Paul to do a build? Excellent solution for what, what does it need to run? Games hahahaha....

[@papaquonis]

Wow, that's a surprisingly confrontational comment. I just said I liked the solution. It's not like cable management is "my thing", but in a $500 case, I do expect to see them bringing something interesting to the table. I have no intention of getting this case, but I can appreciate when something is well-made.

[@IvanNOFX]

Wow dude, who killed your dog?

[@Slade-6]

I too enjoyed that, I wouldn't mind seeing it used in smaller applications. Also yeah, no idea who pissed in that guys cheerios.

[@KiraSlith]

Makes the back tempered panel unnecessary though, nothing to look at anymore.

[@tuppytheducky]

Still cheap by LinusTechTips standards

[@Ash007YT]

Duckingtanker damn straight.

[@lucasrem]

Duckingtanker You love that grownup Linus kid better, where do you need from him for, learning to build your first system? Why use chat?

[@HiteshJetwaniTechtesh]

I can see Linus throwing in a dual xeon on eatx system and an 8700k matx /itx build.. Running all the 1080tis in it.. 512 +128 gb ram.. All RGB.. Why not?

[@booboothefool982]

lucas rem Maybe Linus could teach you how to fucking type. ;)

[@tuppytheducky]

lucas rem did you just assume that was a dig at Paul?

[@Tom5TomEntertainment]

$10,000 now, $2,000 after GPU and RAM prices drop

[@allmight8127]

Tom5tom Entertainment hahahah so true hahah

[@allmight8127]

I bought my gtx 1060 a little while ago and it's more expensive now. stupid really

[@foe.9534]

The CPU and fans are around $2,000 by itself...

[@keshavlokheeram7784]

f o e. Thanks Nerd

[@lucasrem]

Tom5tom Entertainment You keep crying, why you do that? No money, just go for that new PS4! Got money, build a $1500 gaming PC! So easy, but still you cry, Paul i need you!!!!!!

[@RadioactiveLobster]

I like how at some point during filming they realized they mounted the rear exhaust fan backwards and fixed it but it keeps flipping between main and b-roll shots.

[@NokeManzo]

I don''t ask for free stuff. Just wish that the price of computer components would settle back to normal.

[@gavinearls2935]

Up vote for GN mod mat

[@lucasrem]

Gavin Earls You love giant mats, needing to know all PC parts, how all wires connect to components. Why you use that, you build lots of PC's? Or you just need a soft mouse mat without ant charging capacity...This big? why this big?

[@gavinearls2935]

lucas rem I do actually build a lot, it's my main income

[@jameshealy4594]

lucas - It's an anti-static building mat, not a mousepad. Although given your responses I'd love to see you try to use it as one, they're super grippy by design. Awaiting incoming incoherent response including something about crying nerds.

[@lemonhaze715]

Ikr, he is all over the place, but so m i mwohohoho (kappa)

[@carljosephavelino4128]

lucas rem actually u r pathetic

[@PeterDavila-mx9ni]

Great series of videos on the 1000D. This is going to be my upgrade. Except, here in early 2023 the case is on backorder. But, that's fine since I plan to wait to next year anyways. A case like this deserves an EATX motherboard with a new Chipset that will handle PCIe 5.0 and M.2 PCIe 5.0 drives. It may not hurt to also wait for an RTX 5090 to throw in there as well as some DDR5 memory. So I'm guessing I will end up waiting 1.5 years, to late 2024?

[@winston_bishop]

at first glance I thought it said $10,000 PC in the HOOOD

[@MrQuequito]

Sione Fetalaiga we either hit a glitch in the matrix or paul changed because i swear i read that too

[@lucasrem]

Corsair HOOD Riptide Part 1 that is what is said, you are right.

[@MrQuequito]

lucas rem shut the fuck up dude, who the hell are you? And whats up with all your stupid comments? Learn to write proper sentences at least

[@winston_bishop]

Oh yeah he changed the title, shame I liked the other one

[@jrodzz3145]

Sione Fetalaiga SAME 💀

[@videogameexpos599]

For my next build, I'm definitely picking up this case! Bigger is better, lol. I'd make TWO minor changes however: paint the inside white and change the front fan configuration to yield 3 large fans instead of 8 smaller ones.

[@HotRodHippie]

Does the ASUS ITX Board actually support ECC?? The spec sheet on ASUS' website says it doesn't. I too want to build a FreeNAS setup to replace my Qnap but can't find a motherboard I like that ACTUALLY supports ECC.

[@JuanPretorius]

dude, this doesn't answer your question, but you look like you know what you're talking about. What's freenas? Apparently it's "enterprise-class storage software designed with data protection as the primary objective" but why has Paul got a second system inside this build? *Confused*

[@HotRodHippie]

Juan Pretorius it is a FreeBSD based operating system. It is for building your own NAS setup (network access storage). So instead of buying a prebuilt NAS (at a premium) you build a small computer to your own specific needs and run FreeNAS as its OS. So Paul is building Riptide to both edit videos AND store the raw footage/completed projects. One computer will be the editing Rig. The other will be the storage.

[@HotRodHippie]

I am quickly filling up my Qnap NAS and I don't like the software it runs on. So I'm looking to build myself a FreeNAS system before the end of the year. However I want ECC memory support. Ryzen seems to be the most affordable way to do that, (aside from used server hardware) except I can't find a small form factor and affordable mobo that actually supports ECC.

[@marioStortuga]

This is why I like your videos more than other Tech channels. You actually build in the same video not like others that have this case for review.

[@buyingonabudget1916]

I shouldn't be watching this. My wallet is crying...

[@lucasrem]

Buying On a Budget I see you say weird shit all the time, why you do that? You need to upload here, get Final Cut skills! Chatting is 100% bullshit! Why you think Paul is doing promoted reviews??? Use your brain if you have it, stop crying!

[@buyingonabudget1916]

I see your point. I will try to improve my skills. But sometimes I just want to watch some awesome videos, learn something from them. While chilling and chatting. I think KZbin is a great community for that.

[@Skewel]

lucas rem You're annoying af.

[@lucasrem]

SAV3RAGE You love the dropped't humor, the i run this on 286 DX bullshit nerds cry here? They all cry nerdy bullshit, why you love that? Annoying, all channels hate the nerdy shit you do, unable to remove that chat crap? Support only creativity, remove the nerdy shit talk now! Nerds are annoying, now way they can do any level of humor, just lame bullshit!

[@Skewel]

lucas rem Wtf are you talking about? Every comment I read from you makes absolutely no sense at all, you might as well learn grammar before referring to yourself as a "nerd".

[@DarkPhoenix1515]

While not a big fan of spreading the thermal paste manually, it was really satisfying to see that clean layer of paste. Great job!

[@Kombalaxy]

Wife: Honey I want a walk in closet Me: we have one already 10:52.

[@Starringo58]

You've only just started and I'm already jealous. Beastly build. I'd call it a Titan build but in any case loox awesome. Enjoy!!

[@UnboxMaster]

Paul, do you get to keep this PC or do you have to send it back to corsair and Asus?

[@morphball]

Are you asking if he can give it to you ? :D

[@foxstrutbars]

Axel he is just curious if sponsors ask for their samples back

[@morphball]

...yes, I have read what he wrote ? I was just making a joke, you know ?

[@tobyhallam4750]

Paul. Thank you Brother. You answered all the BASIC questions which are missing from Corsair's website... Like the ability to daisy chain Commander Pro's, which is missing from all product info.

[@crowkympatrick]

Suggestions for waterblocks that are compatible with the strix 1080ti?

[@forza1sra]

Patrick Crowley EK and Phanteks have options for it. However only Phanteks can RGB waterblocks if you're into that. I wouldn't look to water cool the Strix 1080ti because it will void your warranty (there's a sticker on one of the screws you would have to remove so they can in fact tell). I would go with the Gigabyte 1080ti as it has a 4 year warranty (compared to the 2 on the Strix) and water cooling doesn't void it. We are supposedly in for an announcement on May 30th for the 1180 which will be released in June-July (as is all ways the case) so I'm waiting for that.

[@danielspellingclausen4669]

Great idea with a NAS build, as the smaller build. I would love it if you could dive a bit deeper into the 2nd build. I'm currently building a NAS for myself, and would love to hear your thought process on building yours.

[@aidanjt]

I wish every case manufacturer offered a SKU for most cases that omits bundling fans. Bundled fans are usually garbage.

[@tobygreenwood5036]

aidanjt I agree, only budget cases should come with fans

[@zahidshabir4038]

why should budget cases come with fans when people are on a budget they are trying to save money (and budget is not defined by the price of the build someone could have a $3,000 budget for their PC) and to make the most of any budget there should be NO included fans unless they are what someone would expect to put in their case we do not want 5+ year old fans and fan designs we want new fans and I am sure people with low budgets would agree

[@tobygreenwood5036]

Zahid Shabir I was thinking for young/old system builders who want as little hassle as possible

[@KiraSlith]

Zahid Shabir because they get bulk fans for dirt cheap (0.25c a fan usually) and a budget builder will usually need the included cheap fans.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Most stock case fans from any of the good manufacturers are actually much better than most aftermarket RGB fans nowadays. Especially thermaltakes old(not current) Riing fans which had a max rpm of 1050 and barely flowed anything even maxed

[@lunarlyte]

That was a cool editing effect on the rotating case, swapping out footage of side panels off and on. Good Job Joe and Paul.

[@TrippyRexTech]

Techsource VS Paul's Hardware

[@paulshardware]

I'll support my side by pointing out that I actually installed parts into the case

[@TrippyRexTech]

do you planning custom water cooling on the system?

[@stevensimison625]

from a builders point of view i would love to see a case with all the space for a single system. the grommets and space above the mobo mounts is a really helpful thing.

[@sarahbingham1133]

Wait one of your 1080Ti’s are the OC but the other isn’t...

[@AngryBeardGaming]

Corsair and Asus are my favourite component and part manufacturers. One day I plan to make an overkill build like this, for the sheer joy of the building process.

[@chuckschickbaldtacos]

The Verge Wants To Know Your Location

[@Iliketurtles12345100]

Those transitions on the Obsidian case were perfect.

[@xephael3485]

Because when you build a super expensive system you're worried about underclocking to save power...

[@morphball]

You gotta compensate for all the RGB fans :)

[@JoaoPedro-bd4pe]

dude, that 1500W psu needs to handle everything plus all those rgb fans = 1100W without counting overclock

[@timcarpenter2441]

That NAS, I suspect, is to run 24/7, so having it run at low power, temp, noise is a plus IMHO

[@seanwatkins4200]

Also interested to see what height cooler can go in the freeNAS build. Standard wraith can run really quiet if it fits and the APU is underclocked I’d imagine

[@forza1sra]

xephael - You're*.

[@markbullock7349]

The look 1st attracted me. Good point not so accessible when in its final position having to remove panels to the rear. Very helpful video.

[@Mosquito3314]

how dare you remove the plastic as the first step. MY EYES!!!!!!! lmaoo jk love ya

[@CrustyAbsconder]

I just did a simple build in a Corsair 1000D, using just fans. My new long term goal, is to look for ways to gradually upgrade and hopefully get a video card the size of a watermelon. LOL ! I found the old thumb screws everywhere to be really annoying. My ASUS X570 fit so perfectly into the spot, that is was so simple to install. I wish the back exhaust area had room for two 140mm fans, but it only has room for one and an additional 120mm or just two 120 mm's. My CPU cord barely reached the powersupply. I would have preferred to have three 140mm fans on the front for my air-build, but that was not a deal-breaker. My Noctua fans would not reach the Commander Pro, but I have the Noctua extension cords laying around here in a pile somewhere, so I will fix that tomorrow. I do not know if I will add a mini-ITX to the build. I wish it had a spot for a Raspberry Pi or Odroid. LOL ! I really did not want a full glass panel, expecially on the back, but I did what hinged doors on both sides. I really wish there was a chassis fan hole on the glass near the video card area. I will likely not have hard-drives on my build, but if so, just one. I plan to fill up the SSD area and have a Linux distro or some other OS on each SSD. The only think unique about my build, is that I have Fedora Rawhide Workstation loaded on the first NVMe which is a fast one, and then I have Fedora 33 Beta Workstation loaded on the 2nd NVMe which is slightly slower, but one TB. For the time being, I just have a new Ryzen 3 1200AF, but I will eventually put something better in. I have a giant Noctua Air-cooler and plan to fill all the fan holes with premium fans. But little to no RGB. www.dropbox.com/s/3djp5xh90sn0ihm/Photo%20Oct%2011%2C%2011%2036%2040%20PM.jpg?dl=0 I am very worried about moving it though, as I am old and frail and live upstairs, and I might have to move out soon due to being furloughed at work because of the COVID b.s.

[@LunchBXcrue]

Jesus man... 8 16gb sticks?! That's like 2 grand alone here.

[@michaelc5019]

Bring me Peter pan The fan price on this build is pretty damn expensive too! Paul got the care package of the year dropped on him

[@g.s777]

Bring me Peter pan that's the price of an A to B transportation.

[@lucasrem]

Bring me Peter pan Keep the 2016 DDR4 3200 sticks, $200 16Gb, good enough. Bring me Wendy, how old would she be, if she still looks great i never care, fck forever young...

[@water3345]

I own 570x, now i want this ! Absolutely incredible case.

[@13pinesfarmstead5]

Please get this thing together before Ed does.

[@Andy-White]

Done Being Big there’s no chance that isn’t happening, it’ll take that clown Ed six months to build it and it’ll still not be a patch on Kyles, Pauls, Jayz, GGF and pretty much anyone else who builds PCs

[@bitgod]

Sees a $10k box, gets excited about the NAS part of it. I was curious how one of those new APUs + ECC works out, so glad you're doing it.

[@sekharmenonk8462]

its cool to watch not to buy....

[@lucasrem]

Sekhar menon K What do you run now, old GTX 1080 system, why watch for new gear now? Or do you like the nerdy Googly KZbin scene here? We all keep the old gear now, never needing anything new 2018!

[@sekharmenonk8462]

yeah i pretty much run a skylake i7 6700k with 8 gb ram sponsored by my brother !..yeah its always tough for students to get into design and simulation without graphics card !!! Lucas rem

[@AlexanderBukh]

Might be cool to buy too, if you have extra doughie laying around.

[@sekharmenonk8462]

yeah..planning to buy the new gpu as ssssson as the new models of nvdia gets released !!

[@lucasrem]

Alexander Bukh All you need is a $500 GPU, a $250 CPU, some board, keep the DDR4, need 5? Need Volta now?

[@TParkcasual]

Yes! The Corsair 'Obsidian D-Series" Chasis, infamous for the sickest Custom Loop builds. Achtung Corsair!

[@tockep.7045]

Bet this thing can't run Roblox high settings 720p

[@generalrawat7586]

Barely, it will only run the aaa gsmes like jailbreak at 20 fps low though

[@arkratos]

For your custom liquid cooling please use the Heatkiller or XSPC waterblock (for the 1950x) as they perform significantly better than the rest of the market.

Whole new meaning to computer porn....

[@nijagamer1]

is there any possible way to remove hard drive mounting 15:30 ? I have 2 MSI 2080 ti and it's not possible to run SLI without removing hard drive mount (yes i do have this case)

[@filetsteak5677]

this "custom" waterloop is so ugly 😭😭

[@Mystikalrush]

Paul, this was a great teaser video. However, I want to see the extreme over the top insanity build with this case. Full rads in RBG push pull, custom loops. Max drives 3.5 & 2.5 (m.2 as well!) Maybe even go LLT insane dual cpu server board, just max it all the way up, even that ITX board, max that sucker with all it can handle!! OVER 9000!!

[@TobiasDettinger]

Ed was first hahahaha :D

[@lucasrem]

Tobias Dettinger First in what, first noob cry? Why first noob cry is a thing here? Why you all cry first then? Why are nerdy channels so nerdy, why you do that? Sooooo ultra lame, this Paul channel! Needing promoted crap, all crying.......

[@Andy-White]

Tobias get your tongue out of Ed’s arse. His builds are mediocre at best, consistently outdone by better builders.

[@TobiasDettinger]

Hahahahahahahahaha a few words and the people are angry af. :D Sweet ^-^ I just meant the upload date. Its onle 30 mins between the upload times. I just want to say this. They obviously get it in different times. I just meant the only video upload times. Nothing more. So calm down people. :D

[@MogR91]

The clearly labeled "HEAVY" box... Sits at the safest place in the garage. Right on the edge. XD Great vid Paul!

[@anderzenn_official]

So this was like a 500 usd build before the whole crazy price thing right? Kappa

[@ReZhorw]

What a satisfactory build this will be when it's finished. It's gonna look so freaking cool. Thumbs up Paul!

[@tummygang6070]

this is one of the best budget builds I have ever seen

big up to the good boy laying there no barking no begging just chilling watching his build good boy fo real ^^

[@FurNaxxYT]

I don't watch a ton of your videos. *But you added RGB so this is top tier*

[@JasenBerger]

That thing is a beast looks sick cant wait to see the finished product

[@SooperFlye]

Holy cow, a 65lb. case for $579.99!! Everything about this PC case is BIG!

[@flayed]

that's one crazy setup that I can only dream about. Unless I win some give away there is no way I would ever afford a beast like that! Nicely done!

[@DDT2005]

No test boot with monitor attached?

[@michaelfairchild]

900D still looks better even with all the years passed. Also, if you want to change/fix PSU for main system, you need to remove secondary as well. Have fun doing that when both systems have custom loops with hard tubing.

[@MrPruske]

you could have the gpus connected to a triple rad exhaust on top and a massive air cooler for the cpu facing backward. or the front intake as the rad for the cpu, two loops, and supplement air to the bottom with an articulated fan aiming at the secondary system

[@Bewefau]

I'm still using my 800D :) and I still love the Drive bay's and hot swap HDD trays

[@jakelofgren2510]

My gosh that thing is insane. also, its really nice to be seeing a lot of high end AMD systems these days. finally.

[@xXDarthBagginsXx]

That is a killer case and glad Corsair launched it as the 1000D instead of the Slate. Loving the new Obsidian line-up so far, enough to start at least considering the 500D for my next build as I love the hinged tempered panels and the look of the over-all case (would go for a 1000D but really don't need another gigantic case to go with my CaseLabs M8)

[@seedling345]

Dude this is going to be sick!!! Great work Paul

[@mikstrixful]

Never seen someone apply thermal paste like that, cool build dude

[@doubledose3650]

Paul, may I recommend a 3/4 or 1 ton ductless single zone system for your garage? Judging your space in there, 3/4 or 1 ton will keep your garage nice and climate controlled. All those fancy components deserve it. get a heat pump!

[@customcomputerdesigns6819]

I missed this one definitely on my bucket list to build.

[@sanctorum21]

I mean with a case like this, you kinda have to do 420mm rad up top for 1950x, 2x480mm rads in front, one for each 1080Ti, and a 120/140mm rad in the rear for the 2400G

[@Stonehenge81]

Awesome, good idea under-volting the AMD for FreeNAS, since it doesn't require that much power. Please do a follow-up on the FreeNAS portion! Also, it would be cool to see power-draw of the system once under-volted / under-clocked.

do a FULL custom loop with liquid cooled CPU/GPU's (non of that quick disconnect fitting stuff you got for that CPU block it needs to be hardline tubing) all rads need to be extra thick and with push/pull configuration for the fans

[@krazykyfan]

Insane build man. I wonder how heavy it will be when you're done. Might need to reinforce the floor its gonna sit on lol. With 21 fans it'll sound like a server room when you fire it up

[@caffau]

Gorgeous build so far. But more importantly Ive never really understood the point of these two-board cases... until you said NAS. Seems so obvious in retrospect. Useful idea + awesome too.

[@alexandermccomb6444]

Finally, something I can actually afford to build myself!

[@teacher555555]

this case can support up to 24 fans normally or 26 if you place a 240 radiator with the tubes on the bottom. up to 16 on the front, 6 on top and 4 on the back (if radiator as i said)

[@KSPilo]

I found the concept of the sadly discontinued *Lian Li PC-D666WRX* way more appealing. The case fitted an EATX and µATX mainboard simultaneously in two separated chambers with space for one 480 mm and two 360 mm radiators.

Can I get a suggestion of the best processor for gaming... Not keeping in mind the budget.... And the cooler for it.

[@oscarmontoya2342]

CRy oF RIP 8700k with 280mm+ radiator

[@gank9]

Ryzen over Intel. Ryzen 1700 or 2700 are great choices

[@shanewilson3523]

Been subbed to your channel for several years now. I don't think I've ever seen you take on a project this extreme before. Definitely not with all the RGB'ness. I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

[@lfraxurel4429]

lighting is looking pretty good @paul one tip- i could give is to try to position them each frame to get rid of all those shadows. other then that they look pretty good. and to try and make it so you can see them in the frame

[@AlexComanM]

Very nice, Paul, can't wait for part 2.

[@Magmaa]

Its perfect for streamers! Gaming and a streaming computer in one.

[@avglebowski]

I don’t remember to much but they’re was a custom pc from origin pc I think that had two system in one case. The point of having two system in one case is for streaming and gaming at the same time.

[@jerrytherednecknerd3889]

Dude...oh my frickin case ram jesus..fans slide out rails double system ..my brain is overwhelmed! (Zap followed by smoke coming from ears) why is there only one like button? Can't wait to see more!

[@jasoninsearchofthegoldenfl153]

Good day Paul, if you ever need to get rid of old equipment then let me know.

[@Nobody-vr5nl]

I have the 750D and thought that was huge. I'll be going as small as I can with a full liquid loop next time

[@linkdude64]

ASUS makes damn good components, must be nice to have them as a sponsor.

[@wannabesq]

SSD for booting Freenas? You'd be better off using a much smaller (16GB) disk, or even a USB thumb drive. The SSD could be used as a L2ARC if you have enough RAM to make it useful.

[@GautamKumar-cr7tw]

That case is soooo big!! I have a 750D and I think it’s humongous. Question, is the 1000D bigger?

[@kyleingram6330]

This rivals Bitwit Kyle's 10K build. Nice video Paul. I hope that Corsair makes an Obsidian case that's between the 500D and the 1000D.

[@RyanS493]

Awesome build Paul! Looking forward to the next video 👍🏻
