This was the most frustrating part for me. Like whyyyyyy!!!!

[@docferringer]

"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.

[@ostapkurtash6359]

Also, Is that inverted ATX?

[@sethhu20]

@@ostapkurtash6359 What are the disadvantages of inverted ATX, perhaps AIO might not work or fit?

[@ostapkurtash6359]

@@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.

[@dwalters98]

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...

[@docferringer]

@@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.

to be fair.. with the prices of psu's these days, theyre the second most expensive part in most budget builds these days.

[@satibel]

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.

[@RyTrapp0]

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...

[@matekovacs2696]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@sophv]

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.

@@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.

[@doctor9633]

@@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.

[@Jehty_]

@@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.

[@Beterr]

@@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!

Maybe it's just me but I think you actually see more of the cables with this "solution" than the usual powersupply route. In my experience you only see the connector and maybe 2 cm of cable for both the 24pin and the cpu power 8pin, for the gpu maybe 15cm, but here you see twice the connectors and much more of the cable. Not much of a solution in my opinion

[@BirdnoseRangel33]

Wow! That is really clean case! Having to chase down every cable through a case that was half-assed in cable management design is aggravating to say the least. Then PSU manufacturers try to compensate bad design by making extra long cables, which makes things worse! But this is an elegant design! The case was built with integrated cable management, so you can make the cables relatively short and save a few zip ties! This might genuinely lead to new design philosophies and building standards. I want one now...

[@swift1218]

I was tripped out the whole video, the case is either made entirely opposite of normal cases or the video is flipped.

[@calvinhall6947]

lol, it was weird to watch

[@matekovacs2696]

Because the case has an inverted layout. Everything seems off, because you have to flip the motherboard around a horizontal axis. This way the component side will be towards the right of the case, the PCIe slots will be on top (along with the front panel connectors), the CPU power connectors will be on the bottom, but the rear IO would stay at the back. This might make a ton of sense thermally, we'll have to wait for the full build over at LTT to verify.

[@paranoidrodent]

@@matekovacs2696 It would probably interact oddly with the RTX 3000 series Founders' Edition cards and their pass-through cooling since they'd be blowing hot air down instead of up with this case. That said, it's a very nice and clean design.

[@matekovacs2696]

@@paranoidrodent Yes, that is not a good combo. Everyone keep that in mind if you plan to build in this case. Or... video idea for Linus: invert the fans of an RTX 3090 (the header connecting it to the board also needs to be inverted) to make it work with this case

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.
