EVGA DG-87 Review | Jumbo Case of your Dreams?

[@kng_aster7590]

i really like this case idk why its just looks beautiful to me

[@probablyawake]

I agree

[@josephpete1833]

2nd this

[@Andernol]

+Mathboy dude you have a Minecraft Profile pic. Don't try to roast anyone.

[@ljr5159]

+Mathboy DAMN HE GOT REKT

[@MrHendrikje]

+xXElite_GamerXx tleast he doesnt have ''xX_Xx'' in his name....

[@powermix24]

Bought it back in Dec of 2016 and the fans that came with it still going strong! Excellent case.

[@Camell513]

Lmao if you ever decide to sell it HMU, Wish I bought one back then!

[@Forflies]

Honestly I think that's one of the best cases I've ever seen lol

[@Forflies]

***** Never heard of them mate

[@agentorange8530]

They look like blocks

[@mrcaptaindarkrex]

caselabs makes awesome cases but they are way more expensive

[@jessehoeper]

I grew up in the crt TV Era so I agree love this case.

[@RevengeofGothzilla]

Caselabs are great, but they're definitely not going to win any aesthetics competitions.

[@RetroBleck]

I've had the DG-87 for roughly 3 years now. One of the front fans and the top fan are finally starting to go out. Front fan has to be hand-started every time I turn the computer on, and the top fan is making a plastic rattling sound. They lasted long enough. The case is great otherwise, new computer parts are going into this case again, probably going to use it forever.

[@ricksadler4594]

I really like the look and concept of this case. It's really made for people who want to have a high end liquid cooled system and show it off.

[@keventao]

This case is so beautiful! If you are going for a themed build or don't like the mirror at the front or the glossy plastic piece, you can wrap or paint them to match your theme. I think EVGA did an excellent job.

[@endlessitaly21]

Computer cases don't usually feature in my dreams...

[@Kenseigan]

They do in mine!

[@endlessitaly21]

Holy crap! I got the top comment on a youtube video! I feel so undeserving...

[@titanclaw2488]

k

[@aaronb3024]

Strangely enough, my computer (computer case more specifically) was definitely in one of my dreams. I had to run away to a forest or something cause somebody was chasing me and ironically the only thing I had was my 760t.

[@Goretantath]

Francesco Russo mine do.. but theyre impossible to build xd

[@bikerboy3k]

I discovered this case because of you and the more you talked about it, the more i liked it. Managed to find 1 (one) in the whole uk and won the auction for it, and it's just breathtaking, even more in real life. So even if you don't like it, i wanted to say thanks for the review and for making me discover it. All the best.

[@strange_jason]

I like it...for some reason. Probably because it's something completely different.

[@mikeskerritt9618]

And practical for water cooling! Which I think that EVGA intended the case to be used for. Cheers. Mike

[@thekylebaker]

I love how your editing has improved and your personality is coming out more and more. I love it. Thank you!

[@chrisb99]

OMG there is finally a propper video on this case

[@Jack-qj2pr]

Years later and I really want this case.

[@MrCheker34]

Am i the only one that acually thinks this looks cool? :c its new and i think its awesome that you have all the important buttons on the side

[@kishona69]

I love this guy. Another well put out and put together review. I also love the case. It looks awesome put in terms of ease of use and practicality, some of its key features appears to have not been given much thought.

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

This case kinda reminds me of 1990 Sony Trinitron TV..

[@atamiss3259]

omg I had the same thought. I had that very tv with the stand lol. this looks just like it hahaha.

[@syd_jzx100]

I had the Sony Triniton aswell. Our family has kept it for over 20 years, and now it's outside all broken. Haha.

[@titanclaw2488]

I still have that tv lol and it looks almost same as this case!

[@atamiss3259]

I miss it i wish i still had mine (i moved) i would have used it in my retro NES/SNES corner.

[@hwstar9416]

+JLCmedia I still have it, trust me it's not very good and it's very heavy. I hooked up mine with a PS3 and the tv doesn't show the whole screen, which means I can't see my ammo in COD, I'm gonna buy a 4K tv next year

[@ImranPangilinan]

say what you want about it... it looks different and I like it

[@OneRedKraken]

lol, the first digit will always show zero. Unless your case is on fire. :D

[@msinclaircorp4571]

Personally, I love it, it has a good size because I have EE-ATX Supermicro 13.68 × 13 in (347 × 330 mm). for the taste, the colors. and also has a new and super different design

[@xAfroMetalHead1990x]

Ugly?? that's the sexiest case I've ever seen bruh

[@SvenOkonomi]

I agree. It has no fugly 5.25" bay bezels or gaudy 'gamer' face plates, its just a big finned machine.

[@midnightcandy380]

agree

[@lyrix7479]

Irony ocerload

[@ilpatongi]

Then you need serious help

[@lyrix7479]

Jeremy Clarkson i know right!

[@RTXti-ld7dx]

As with most people who commented, I really like this case. Something very different and massive, the way I like them. Ordering one in the next week or two!! Thanks for the review!

[@CaptHotah]

I like it. I know it's not perfect but I like it. Would look awesome with a EVGA classified all black motherboard and a pair of EVGA classified 10 series gpu's.

[@Justin-0991]

Despite its size and weight. I love the design and features. I like the built in fan controller and cable management options and most of all, it looks badass. EVGA has always been a good brand and THIS is my next case. I also like the Glass with the EVGA Logo but I will be changing that LED color to Red to match everything else. All red LED's everywhere. Fans, Rad, CPU, GPU, and RAM. All Red. Can't wait to get mine at Christmas.

[@mrcaptaindarkrex]

guys pls do some research! the K boost button doesnt just change the windows power setting. It also pushes the GPU by constantly simulating 100% load. but you need EVGA precision xoc for this.

[@mrcaptaindarkrex]

Plus you dont need a dust filter on the top of the case because its the outtake not intake.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I have always liked large cases. Being in the production industry we always use internal HDD RAID and the spaces to put drives is a welcome for our company builds.

[@mikeskerritt9618]

+1 I agree. I also need HD storage for raid 10. I also would be using two SSD's in raid 0. The OS will be on a Samsung 950 pro 512Gb M.2 with the scratch dist on another Samsung M.2 but the smaller 256Gb one. Cheers. Mike

[@ZubAirT]

why is the uninteresting part of every case more interesting in this particular case?

[@v3dantsharma]

touché

[@unth-z8q]

Your videos are really awesome, the travelling, video montage, focus etc. really great work man (sorry for my poor english).

[@SvenOkonomi]

"I dont like the mirror, but I like tempered glass." lol, that stuff reflects almost as bad as well.. mirrors! "It could have had space for a 4th fan in the top" No it couldn't, it would be hanging over the backplate. It merely looks bigger because a door covers the I/O section, a normal case would need open space instead. "The grommet for the cables doesn't work." Well you're using the case wrong! Its meant to have its broad side against the wall, thats the whole freaking POINT of this case! "It has no 5.25" drive bays." I for one am glad there finally is a good case that doesn't waste space and materials on obsolete optical drive bays. You claim it offers no space for fan controllers or reservoirs.. have you actually looked at the case? It already HAS those things, specifically designed and built in! And how does the basement have space for it? Its completely filled with drive cages and PSU and likely a pump. I usually like your videos, but this review was not very well thought out, or atleast you didn't see the logic behind most of what you complained about. It felt like you were reviewing an airplane fully believing it to be a submarine.

[@ilpatongi]

Fanboys... Lol You're everywhere, please, stop insulting everyone only because you ordered this monstruosity

[@SvenOkonomi]

Jeremy Clarkson Sounds like somebodies basement isn't big enough for a nice big computer. Sorry mate, maybe after you move out of your parents house.

[@ilpatongi]

+SvenOkonomi A computer doesn't need to be big to be good. LOL, you're just butthurt because you bought it. You're very mature if you insult other people for a stupid looking computer case... LOL 33 years old my ass.

[@SvenOkonomi]

Jeremy Clarkson It needs to be big to house all the good stuff. Not that an ignorant fop like you would know good gear even if it hit you in the head. You're apparently too stupid to grasp why this case makes sense, since you spew the same idiotic shit over and over again. "Durr my phantom my phantom." You're just crying because you cant afford an adult rig. Go back to putting hotwheels stickers on your mouse or something, I honestly dont give a shit about your opinion on facts.

[@ilpatongi]

+SvenOkonomi Lol "the good stuff" like? Every Midtower can house a 6950x with a Titan XP. And a good custom watercooling loop. There's no need for such a big case. My workstation is much likely better than yours... And it's half in size

[@gcardinal]

I kinda appreciate honest feedback on the feelings towards this case - but going to buy it anyway, even in 2019. Awesome case

[@HardwareCanucks]

Nice, enjoy ✌️

[@z0phi3l]

Forget about the case, what was that keyboard?

[@lukecheski1747]

always love ur camera work Dimitri. you put so much work into them

[@CatJago]

Why does the audio went out of sync for a couple of a seconds? Also, why are there a green bar at the bottom of the video? Guess someone messed up during the editing.

[@HardwareCanucks]

Refresh the video? No green bar on our end and audio is in sync perfectly.

[@CatJago]

+HardwareCanucks and now it's gone. Weird. I'm watching from phone. Don't know if that affect something on my end earlier.

[@astitvanigam9277]

+HardwareCanucks Its happening with almost everyone in every video. Its KZbin's problem.

[@iitox1cii849]

Bad weed?

[@MrDirtyVirus]

Same

[@tofubox]

I love this channel for how honest the reviews are. Well done as always 👍🏻

[@bitrates]

I don't want to look at myself while I game

[@dyeless]

Maybe good for streamers hahaha

[@michaelsteffensen6844]

Who stares at their case while gaming?

[@bitrates]

Michael Steffensen Nobody. but do you not have peripheral vision?

[@perryhoofd]

Smooth

[@SvenOkonomi]

Maybe you should try not sitting infront of the case and use a monitor next time? :')

[@RTXti-ld7dx]

Just ordered this case a couple days ago from EVGA. Got the DG-86 cause dident need the buttons for a fan controller. I lucked out too, it FINALLY went on sale down to $219.00 so I grabbed one! Cant wait until next week when it arrives!! Dident want to spend that much, but then again, my last case, the Thermaltake Armor (Which is also MASSIVE) cost me $269.00 so I guess thats a good thing... I for one love the look, and the massive amount of space really appeals to me. I fell in love with it as soon as I seen EVGA release info on it...

[@James.Stark.Ben.Edition]

This or the meshify c? I really appreciate this case and it's looks, it also has pretty good airflow from what I can see and I love the mirror at the bottom. The meshify c is obviously more stealthy and compact and has a tessellated front mesh that I can appreciate a lot as it gives great airflow My specs: Cpu: I7 8700k Gpu: rx vega 64 lc (please don't suggest the 1080 or 1080ti. They're more expensive here than the vega 64 lc and would require me to buy a more expensive monitor to fully utilise the g sync unlike freesync which is much much cheaper I already know the power draw is high but the gpu is more than enough for games at 1080p 144hz) Psu: seasonic prime 850w Titanium 80+ Titanium, fully modular Ram:16gb 3200mhz g skill trident z non rgb ram Cpu cooler:corsair h115i 280mm aio Monitor Samsung C24fg70 1080p, 144hz, va panel Motherboard Asus strix z370 e Storage:1x 1tb hdd, 1x 2tb hdd, 1x 250gb nvme ssd and 1x 32gb ssd for windows. Extras:2x noctua nf a14 industrial fans at 3000rpm, nzxt Hue + phanteks rgb halos for the noctua fans Keyboard: hyperx alloy fps Mouse: logitech g502 spectrum Theme: Red, Black and White Use: mainly gaming and some light content creation

[@untoldstory164]

Meshify c would be "my" choice.

[@Outfrost]

I love what they did with the airflow here, FINALLY a case manufacturer that _sort of_ understands the concept of positive air pressure and allows to achieve it through the front of the case where they put the 3 fans - awesome! Now don't quite like the mirror and the display/buttons of the fan controller (can we just have some standard, cross-manufacturer, cross-platform, open source software for these, thank you), and routing of rear I/O cables could be improved a bit, but otherwise I think the case is absolutely amazing and more manufacturers should turn their heads this way with future designs.

[@TheKarolean]

Could you review a minimalist PC case sometime? I am seriously bored by all the angular designs and light all over the place. A case that could fit in a living room or a minimalist's dream

[@faraday7879]

He has done a couple of mini itx minimalist cases, and you could check out the new cases from cryorig that he covered in his computer vids

[@TheKarolean]

Yes but how about a case you can actually put more than an R9 Fury and a a M.2 drive in? mini ITX is great for home theater but no so much for a high end work and gaming computer that require multiple HDDs for storage and a full ATX motherboard for the features you usually don't get on lesser than mATX boards.

[@husssein5153]

he is not gonna pull cases out of his ass, he already reviewed minimalist cases

[@TheKarolean]

I can see some of you criticizing what I want to see from Hardware Canucks but I am merely voicing my opinion on what I prefer to see. Something that should be rather valuable to any creator. You can also suggest what you want to see from him as I am sure he is reading the comments for feedback and seeing people suggest ideas and content they want to see should be rather valuable.

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

NZXT S340. Fractal Define S. Fractal Core 1000. Fractal Define S Nano.

[@g3nesisprime183]

Still want it. It's gonna go flat against my wall. Massive watercooling, super quiet. Dual 1080's.

[@EIGHTMAG86]

you did the banana like a champ subbed :D

[@HardwareCanucks]

welcome :D

[@Goretantath]

Cody Pike the pop was the cherry on top :)

[@NEFeldman]

Dimitri, I do agree that large cases in sizes like this should utilize 5 1/4 drive bays. Some like me who do video/photo editing have card reader drives and even the DVD burner drives for creating DVD's. And yes even the reservoir for those who would do water cooling.

[@infamouspbj3609]

Dimitri should make a channel called Software Canucks

[@urdaddywingnut7820]

First off- I've got to say- Dimitri, I am a massive fan of your channel. HardwareCanucks ROCK!!! As for the DG-87 case, I think it's a great looking case. Definitely a step in the right direction at least. Between the RGB revolution and 5-1/4 bays losing favor, I believe it's only natural that the side becomes the new front for PC cases now. But, with that said, I do really like my drive bay fan controllers for that little bit of extra pop, and EVGA surely could have integrated a few into that base panel below the window- which I think could also look really good as well if integrated properly. I've been wondering when a case was going to finally come along to make the side panel the actual front of the case, and even if it's not optimal- at least a manufacturer finally went there. I hope it's a sign of more cases to come in this configuration, and can't wait to see what becomes of it! If nothing else, you at least have to say- for EVGA to just be starting their case line, They aren't afraid of doing something completely different and off the cuff... . much more than can be said for a lot of more well established case makers out there.. .

[@urainsaephan1]

why not just slap a LCD side panel on that then itll be an all in one

[@Goretantath]

urain saephan ... i actualy want that... o.o

[@BIGBASSSAMA_4]

Evga needs to see this comment asap

[@Dammitimmad]

1:08 - 1:18 Is one of the reasons why this channel makes such great content 'cause my mind nearly got confused at first lmao

[@rustyheckler8766]

I think you are full of crap, this case looks awesome. and I been wanting a case that sits the way with it's front IO placement for a long time now.

[@n2ocharged]

You could have taken the gloss plastic piece and sprayed it with matte plastidip... It would give you a matte look and still allow the EVGA illumination to come through, although not as bright. Great review.

[@kemanorel3110]

Though, you'd also have the option to cover over the EVGA logo with masking tape, then spray paint it, and you won't have to worry about painting over the lit part.

[@danielworthey]

You need to hold a workshop for the rest of the tech youtubers for b roll.

[@HardwareCanucks]

We need a workshop with many other talented KZbinrs for b-roll advice :D But appreciate the compliment!

[@fwank49]

Yeah. You and Brandon from LTT should.

[@raymondsimpson2305]

Thanks for reviewing this Dimitri, was following this case for a while. The rear side port is a seller for me, I can make this case proper with some good ole fashion mod tweaks..

[@ACRaptor17]

Get the mirror and the glossy crap out of the equation and i'd say it is rather decent, still with it's flaws but decent.

[@inky5168]

Wonderful case. Best since the HAF-X

[@timwarning9326]

I don't get it. This is an enormous case and built primarily for people with lots of watercooling. What does the reviewer do? Sticks in an aircooler and moans about the lack of a 5,25 inch bay. Maybe he could have...you know...fitted watercooling? This is like testing a Ferrari racecar and moaning about the lack of space for groceries.

[@Tennyson_W05]

Front on looks like a heater then side on a tv I love it

[@Andy-White]

Looks like a 90's television

[@mikeskerritt9618]

I also posted this reply on another site as I think that EVGA are getting a hard time with negative reviews from some people.I really like the fresh new look of this case. Thank you EVGA for designing such a practical and also a very good looking case. I was originally looking at getting the Be quiet probase 900 but now I think that I will get this one insteed. I think with the easy entry door at the front and sides it will make for easy maintenance of filters and water cooling ETC. The best of luck with the launch of sech a nice looking case. Regards. Mike Irish

[@1directioneatsshit]

the evga hardon was good this one sucks

[@WolfHunner]

Ha! "Hardon"

[@PcGaming1080p]

i have the hadron air used a dremel to cut away lil bit of metal to fit a reference amd 7970 in it have it oc to 1255mhz core and 1725mhz vram works good as my lan box with a i7 4770k @ 4.3ghz and 8gb of ddr3 1866 ram

[@sad6549775]

i agree having the evga hardron hydro is better in concept but it also has its sheer issues (dust magnet)

[@mikeskerritt9618]

Hi All. I had a closer look at this case and their are some problems that I have found that I feel should be addressed by EVGA before its release date. 1# The rear door hasn't any noise dampening and I feel that it could be a little flimsy and could amplify the noise within the case. The noise dampening would also help to improve the rigidity of the door. 2# The small plastic sliding door that covers the cables to the power supply is listed as (OPTIONAL) and I feel that for the total cost of the case and the minimal cost of such a small plastic part that it should be includes. Over all I still like the case very much. Regards. Mike

[@BeefIngot]

I like the Idea of this case, with the side being the front, but its poorly executed. Plasticky and needlessly large.

[@Turok2]

Agreed

[@huetruong3862]

Could've been the next 900D maybe, EVGA has bad design issues

[@christoffer4017]

I like how he spins the chair both at the start and the end, if replay is is enabled it looks the spin from the end continues at the start again :D

[@scottkailey1]

Does anyone even want a big case anymore??

[@Ziakel]

If I can get an matx case that I can comfortably wc 2 gpu and 1 cpu, have space for 3 hdd, and at least 4 ssd then I'll be all over that.

[@Randomguy86204]

+Ziakel It's called Corsair Air 240 or Node 804

[@DoctaDoon]

Depending on your skill level, it's isn't that hard. Having a caselabs would make it a lot easier.

[@DoctaDoon]

Depending on your skill level, it's isn't that hard. Having a caselabs would make it a lot easier.

[@Ziakel]

Mike S I said comfortably wc. Not having 240mm and pushing 70c+ on my gpus. Most ppl have air 240 only have room to cool 1 gpu with hdds. Don't forget I need room for pump and ssd as well. Node 804 might do it but that look disgusting. I guess I"m sticking with Enthoo Primo for my main case for now.

[@emiliogarcia4496]

I really like the look of this case. The only issue I see that you mentioned and I agree with is the fact you can't remove the mirrored section at the bottom to get easier access. Trying to decide whether to get this or the Dark Pro 900. Moving from a Haf 932 Adv. Looks good and plenty of features..

[@MMFITuk]

i love this case also it had 2 digt number on mine so i guess they have changed , u can check this out fully completed build with this case here uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/Z6RJ7P

[@TechProof]

Beautiful shots as always Dmitri!

[@RealOmarWahdan]

You are a funny guy, good touch with the mirror face expressions. Great review video. Good inputs. Didn't think about those pointers. 👍👍

[@DualPerformance]

very professional review, nice camera job, I'm impressed with the good quality of the video

[@Priestess509]

Doing a build with it right now. Loving every minute of it. Looks great for how I'm doing my setup

[@donriddle8393]

This case was a breeze to set setup my system. Cabling was easy, fan setup and radiator setup was easy. Front panel gives a large temperature reading with easy access to usb, etc.. Overall NICE, glad I purchased it.

[@callmevil]

Ur extensive list of cases reviewed helped me a lot, thx!

[@SanjShowTime]

I don't count opinions EVGA u have done excellent job and I am in love with it...

[@colevano]

This is the type of case I'd put behind my monitor, so it's easy to route cables, and it would probably look good in a complete setup

[@jamessimpson64]

i think this case is amazing and it really draws attention when people walk in

[@havoc1482]

The reason you had a problem opening the side panel was because you have to push the lock pin in and press down on the switch at the same time. Simply look at the mechanism, you can break it if you open it like that.

[@iburley_]

I've actually thought about how great it would be to start seeing cases make it so the window to the motherboard was intended to be the front, but I definitely didn't have this thing in mind. I was thinking more like an H440 that had a second front-cover on the back with a slat on one side for cables.

[@tiagopinto6637]

Welp, you know what they say Dmitri. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

[@paulyoung4790]

It's so close to something I've wanted to see in a long time, if only the motherboard was inverted so the IO was at the top, and the PSU was in the middle of the basement, allowing a 360 rad on the left side. That would allow a centre motherboard with a rad an res either side of it. I'm going to invest in one, for a project to see if my plans would work.

[@ShadowTheLight]

I believe the banana is a very smart and modern way of scaling because it it statistically one of the most common household items and most people know how big they are anyway because they are at any local grocery store

[@Nivrad6Dmanindahouse]

I totally agree with you. I'm not a fan of that side mirror side where the fan controller is. Anything that is glossy is a finger mark magnet. I feel that EVGA could have showed more of that angular design on the left side panel. It kinda looks like an old TV when looking at the left side.

[@StanleyYork]

Each to their own Dimitry. I really like this case, it has just the asthetics I like in modern technology Although I agree that glossy plastic has no place anywhere on any case ever!

[@styxwickorfrost811]

I honestly like the looks as well. However, I do have to say, the price, the looks, the size, the features, and the material of choice of EVGA's largest case to date is actually polarizing compared to something like the Enthoo Primo or the Be Quiet's 900 case. All of which are packed with SO MUCH features that you can't go wrong with any of the three.

[@SaberSlayer88]

im going to be swapping my system into a new case this christmas from a cooler master 932 advanced. im really leaning towards this case for all of the reasons he said he didnt like. i love the size and the look. but i do not like how the basement isnt completely cut off from the main section and because of that im looking at other options. my budget is $200 give or take, needs to support a decent amount of liquid cooling and a eatx motherboard. Any suggestions would be great :)

[@speedygrove]

im running a thor V2 W and i want it for same reason that and and dual 420 rads will make one hell of a custom water loop haters gonna hate on the case but thats just personal opinion and i got mine on pre order so says my opinion of the thing easy

[@SaberSlayer88]

The Crazy Gamer i might just stick with the haf and do the highest end 280mm cpu/ bay res loop i can. either that or i will get a fractal design define s and go super big loop for one cpu and gpu

[@kiwiandapple503]

The Define S is an awesome case & ready for some great custom watercooling for sure. Phanteks their cases are also very good, the Enthoo Pro M, Luxe & Evolve ATX are 3 great cases for custom watercooling. The CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 is also pretty sweet. NZXT H440 is alright, but I prefer the look of the Noctis. I'm not a huge fan of them personally, but have to mention it. They're fairly expensive tho. Corsair Carbide 400Q or Obsidian 450D are 2 okay cases, I again am not a huge fan. Mostly because of the price Inwin 303. An absolutely stunning case and awesome 360 radiator support, enough for even an SLI + Haswell/Skylake CPU custom loop. If the radiator is thick / dense enough! It's a bit of an outsider, but worth a look.

[@speedygrove]

im gonna be doing indipended loops for video cards and cpu was either gonna get a SMA8 or the DG87 and decided on the DG87

[@SaberSlayer88]

The Crazy Gamer SMA8 and dg87 are not on the same playing field in anyway. if i had the budget id of course get the caselabs case over the evga case especially for that size of a cooling set up. jaystwcents and singularity computers shows how good you can make a caselabs system. but hey its your money not mine :)

[@DrkNinja_]

The technology and functionality of the case is fantastic; I feel like EVGA was really thinking about the enthusiast/builder when constructing this. I think that the ascetic of the case is the problem if you give this a brushed aluminum body and a more normal shape and a tempered glass side panel it'd have been fantastic; also a basement shroud...

[@joejustjoe6015]

I love the mirror shot with his look of disdain.

[@williammccoll5563]

I know this is a year old but I got one in 2018 and I love it, that said you are right about the PSU the cables have to go around front unless you get those cable extenders which I didnt, the other thing I couldnt connect the front Headset to the mobo and the USB were tight and extended. Other then that the light plastic piece and the over all design doesnt make the case look bad when all is said and done. The size was a shock I dont know why I thought it was smaller despite all the reviews I seen but that said your a big boy so the case looks smaller then it is. lol

[@jetcity7156]

I think the build looks amazing!

[@KingAzaz]

I think this is beautiful and creative, I don't know what you're talking about!

[@Maximilianoalfonso369]

Thank for you time and videos. I have a question...recomended this case? is case is the best for moment? Thanks

[@danielschaummann973]

This case is very intriguing. I really like a lot of the aspects, but some of the little things are driving me nuts. I would definitely have to see it in person before purchasing. Thanks for the review.

I love this case. If you think the size becomes a problem well... I have mine sitting on my college dorm room desk, so don't tell me about lack of space. This case was designed to have the back against the wall. At first I was skeptical, but then I actually did it and I love it. What it lacks in compactness is made up for neatness. I don't like looking at wires hanging out the back of the I/O and GPU. Oh and as far as the EVGA shield thing on the side, just don't connect the power to the white LEDs and it looks 1000% better lol. Also, the "4th top fan" comment the reviewer made was not well thought out. If you were to hypothetically put a fan there then it would be above and behind the I/O shield of the MB, aka, useless.

Nearly a decade later and this is still one of my dream cases. also.....I remember when $200 for a case was expensive......now we spend that much on just fans.

[@BrownKow100]

the i/o panel probably limits it for desk placement only as well. it'll be inconvenient to have it on the floor

[@SvenOkonomi]

The I/O panel limits it for me on any normal case. This one is the only one that looks good sitting sideways. Anything else will just have an ugly back end on display when you do that. Thats why I ordered this case.

Looks good to me, but I hate to have to modify a case to fit a blueray burner and multi- card reader. also the mirror bottom section looks as if it would crack easily if you try to drill holes in it to start a cut.

I love EVGA's design idea. i had their first case and tbh this one looks pretty good too. just disapointed that they didnt learn to put freakin filters in there... specially at the pricepoint they're aiming for

[@briant9251]

This would make a nice HTPC case under a wide screen TV. Massive amount of space for storage to hold all your videos, music and pictures. Easily fill with some nice older high quality hardware and water cooling equipment. Lots of options if your into modding cases. A 5¼" bay or two would have been nice to have a Blu-ray player for the HTPC. Yup scrap the mirror not liking that at all. I didn't see any air in take in the bottom or did I miss that part?

[@mikeskerritt9618]

Yes it has an air intake and filter on the bottom left side. I think it is a little small for my power supply a EVGA 850G Silent series!! I just might be wrong? Cheers. Mike

I just got one of these for free. Definitely nice case, but agree it was hard for me to place it in a decent spot. Plus I have a tiny work desk lol. This thing is huge. Love the lights and fan switch shortcut, very convenient.

[@gargonovich]

I think if you have the desk space or just really like showing off the guts of your rig, this is a really cool case, actually. Seems like it has a lot of flaws at the moment, but I like where their head's at. It would be interesting if EVGA or somebody else developed the idea a little more.

[@WiiHaveDowns]

I feel like this case would be perfect for a showcase build. Something like a Gamescom booth or something at PAX where you have a demo area which could also feature a great looking PC. I think that's what the form factor / cable routing lends itself towards. Places that host events that are nothing but PC showcases would be great for this since a great build can always be a slightly dulled by peripheral wires running out of the sideways cases.

[@firyxx]

To me, it is definitely a cool looking industrial styled case.

[@patchfile]

Thank you for doing such a complete review.

[@ricknovlesky]

Interesting case. Great review. Thanks Dmitry.

[@DBHHellhound]

All of my products are from EVGA or most. Fantastic customer service and warranties.

[@vskye1]

A dark tinted section vs the mirror would be way better. Also, a dust filter up on top. You'd think this would be standard by now.

[@elenchus]

It's sort of a "Gaming PC as an appliance" piece of art. I get the old tube TV connections, but in a lot of ways this reminds me of a refrigerator or microwave.
