I forgot what I'd bought 4 YEARS AGO! // ATX Cube Case Review?

I really didn't mean to. It just sort of happened... It was meant to be reviewed after the Thermaltake Core V21 TG, but something else came up, and it kept getting pushed back until all but the box was forgotten... Anyway, it's a case, let's get reviewing!

my youtube account got deleted sometime in between now and 4 years ago. Found you again bro. Glad to see all the improvements.

[@zaipods]

Glad to see you're back. At parents house I'm currently using my old i5 3570K on ASRock Z77 Extreme4, with RX 470 in some ancient unnamed case (I've searched all over the internet and the closest I've got is lc power 7024B but all black, without the single letter or number on it and ofc without the "fancy stuff") and after some modifications (arctic 7 x co cooler, and 2 arctic fans) it's great for learning some basic overclocking and everyday use...While in my flat I have Ryzen 5 5600X, MSI B550 Tomahawk, RX 6700XT, 16 GB RAM, be quiet! base 500DX with Dark Rock 4 etc...etc... everything still in boxes, waiting temperatures to drop so I can build it without sweatdrops all over it. Ofc I spent all the money on PC so it was - screw the AC, I can...oh wait....I can wait 😓

[@Hathal_98]

4 years ago i found your channel :)

[@MartinStrazynski]

Gonna probably make an offsite backup NAS. Thanks for the neat...esoteric builds :-p

[@chris_hertford]

Next plan is building a compact-ish system for data storage and office tasks. Hopefully better than a nas and cheaper!

[@honestddd7381]

built my pc recently in a lancool 2 mesh, bought it after watching your and gamers nexus video on it. love the modularity of the case and cable management solution. currently rocking 12400, with an old 1060 6 gb. Gona try to get a 6700xt or 3060ti. No plans yet for future upgrade but planing to keep the case for a atlest for a long while. P.S - I know its not my place to say but please add review of more pc things. Pre builds, would help a lot of people out.

[@AVTechy]

Glad you found the Lancool video useful. On your system, do you use it for gaming, or something like video editing? You can suggest anything you want. I can't promise I'll be able to fulfil the suggestion, but it's great to hear what people want from me. As for pre-builts, I don't think I can afford to do that at the moment. If a machine costs £1000, I'll be able to test it and make a video, but I'll probably only sell it for at the most £300. I make about £80 per month across the whole channel, so I'd be losing money overall for the channel, but tanking it for the video (which to be fair, I don't really pay much attention to since there's no point at the moment). IF (big IF) this channel takes off, I 100% would love to do full system testing. I did a video a while back where I made a completely used system, and tested it to see how it performed. I'm set up for it, just not financially at the moment. We may get there, but it might take some time. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion - it really helps me know where I should be going :)

G'day AV, My Testbench has a Version of this Chassis with the same Mobo, Rear PCIe + I/O Panel + 80mm Fan + PSU Mount Panel, 2x 2.5"SSD/HDD, 2x 3.5"HDD & Yes 5.25"ODD Bracket, but the other 3 Panels with the Fans & Floor are different as mine while still upside Down was a more Normal Case Design with 3x 120mm Fans & Cut out for the ODD & standard metal/Poly Side Panels. The 120mm Fan positions are 1 Fan blowing air where the 2.5"SSD, HD Audio & PCIe slots are, one on the side next to the RAM & 24pin power, one where the 8pin EPS & Mobo VRM are. My next build is almost ready to start, it is not a full build but upgrade of my Editing PC, Currently Air Cooled R9 3900X (Wraith Prism), MSI X570Tomahawk, 16GB Ballistix 3200 RGB, MSI GTX1080TiGaming X in a Fractal Focus G. For something different I am migrating to an In Win 101 & doing a Custom Loop using Phanteks Glacier CPU + GPU Blocks (New), I just got a used EKWB-Quantum Kinetic 200 D5 Pump/Res for $130AUD ($280AUD), I am just saving for tubing & fittings now & hopefully will get them for Christmas.

[@AVTechy]

Hey, thanks for the info! Hope you get the tubing and fitting over Christmas - the hidden water-cooling expense :(

[@TotoGeenen]

Dropping a comment for the algorithm heh. Use my pc for pc stuff. Browsing the internet, watching series, movies and youtubes. Occasionally playing some video games

[@Fraumann]

Main rig boasts a 12th Gen combined with a trusty ol' 1080, used to play StarCraft 2 and Terraforming Mars, plus the occasional cat video bingeing. So grossly overspecced seen to what it's used for. Have an ITX rig (Elite 110

[@AVTechy]

Nice! Yeah those Macho coolers are massive, but yeah, good airflow is a must have. It would be fun to make a video looking into what normal cooler would make the best passive cooler. Have you got any suggestions for HTPC or Music server cases? If I think they look interesting I might do a video on one anyway.

[@Fraumann]

@@AVTechy Well, I've been eyeing the offerings from HDPLEX for a while, if you tore into their ATX case and put out a video with your verdict you'd have my eternal gratitude (or at least a like ;-)). There's also Streacom, but it appears as if they've streamlined their range so that there's only ITX cases available nowadays.

[@NewsFromTheMoon]

How much did the case cost?

[@methanoid]

Marmite case... Personally I think it looks like shit but I am sure someone will love this one

[@AVTechy]

Agreed. I can't say I'd go out of my way to recommend it. It's not well built, and it's massive for what it offers. But yeah, if it's the perfect look, it can be made to work.

[@extremepsykosis]

Sounds like you need to keep better track. FOUR YEARS isn't an oversight, it's gross neglect. You inadvertently caused this company possible sales. Hopefully they didn't pay you.

[@AVTechy]

Are you serious? I bought the case with my own money 4 years ago. I didn't say it was given to me, or this was a paid video (sponsor or advert). I'm a consumer, the same as you, I just happen to make videos about what I buy. So after correcting all the assumptions you've made. How on earth could I have cost them money?

[@Justakatto]

Don't mind me, just replying to get them sweet sweet notifications, this is gonna be fun
