Having lived in Japan for over 15 years, let me tell you that everything here is either extremely expensive or extremely underpowered and old unless you order it online. Also, i am sure Dawid doesn't read this, but for anyone that does, Japan has extremely strict privacy laws and filming in stores, restaurants, transportation, and people without consent (and blurring people's faces) can actually get your camera confiscated by police and a fine up to ¥100000 (~$1000) over their portrait/privacy laws. Since Dawid is making money from this KZbin video and if he didn't ask for consent, he can get fined by the government and sued by any of the stores and people of they find out.

[@TK199999]

Ironically Southern California has similar laws about filming in and around bathrooms. A World of Warcraft KZbinr got fined for doing an interview in men's room (at Blizzcon in Anaheim, California), not knowing the law. SoCal like Japan has had...issues with perverts and so has had to also create legal remedies.

I use this same case for my mini-ITX build. I replaced the feet on the bottom with some taller feet, and it helps with GPU temperatures and was a very cheap modification. I then took the existing feet and used them to screw in the tempered glass panel on the bottom of the motherboard. So now I can use the PC in horizontal mode as well. For day to day usage there is no thermal difference, but when I am using a high GPU workload I get better thermals when I lay the PC on the side. It simply lets more air get to the GPU. The case itself is super durable, I traveled halfway around the world with it and never had any issues with my PC from airlines handling. It can even fit in carry on luggage, so that helps. When I take it through airport security I always get strange looks though.

Do keep in mind US prices are without any sale taxes on them. Where there are various sale taxes in the various states (so what you actual pay differ from state to state). I would assume Japan has VAT added to the price in stores, perhaps also other sale taxes (I guess there might also be import tax).

Excellent advice. Whenever possible, you want fans blowing in the same direction. I always try to envision a cohesive overall air flow (where will the air be coming into the case, and where will it be leaving?), and then change the direction of all fans (cooler fans, case fans, cpu fans, gpu fans) as needed so that they are all reinforcing each other, and not fighting each other.

The collab we never knew we needed

[@Grimmwoldds]

There's a ton of shops in Japan that do that(same handles, same green plastic straps). They do it because people ride the trains to get around. There's a machine at the checkout that seals the straps by melting the ends together. Very common for things that don't fit into any bag(I got straps on a full size casio keyboard from a music store, as well as a folding table I bought at a department store) As for the plastic wrapping, the employees are taught "the proper way" to do it. It's a cultural thing that if you get wrapping on a purchase, it has to be the stores way and is probably WTF awesome. It goes back to the cloth wraps they used to use. Apparently they often hire a consultant to come in and "teach" wrapping techiques. If you ever go to Japan, feel free to ask for it to be wrapped(gift wrapped, travel wrapped, etc) and they'll probably do it in an exquisite manner. If you think it's weird, they also have a very specific way to count money that is the same everywhere and they all do it EXACTLY the same every time(they force people to practice doing it just so, with the same precise motions and a very exact angle of folding)

In situations like that with the CPU fan, I have had some success reversing the direction of the CPU fan to pull air up. Still isn't ideal, but it pushes the hot air into the psu and out of the case. With the 2 fans working together, the psu stays cool enough as well.

4:17 A Jonsbo T8 I have this case. It's not bad if you can get a SFX PSU that you can get ultra short cables made, but the choices for GPUs are limited to ITX models at 180mm max (they even state that on their site.) For best air flow though It's best to use a 35W~65W, a RTX A2000 6GB GPU, and a HDFlex 200W Pico PSU w/ a 180W - 200W Dell laptop adapter (just needed a metal plate to put in the DC plug into.) Oh depending on the GPU the GPU fan works for drawing the air in, but your choices on Heatsinks & GPU are not the wisest of choices on airflow, but at least it wasn't thermal throttling.

[@weaponisedwisdom]

Have had the exact same red T8 running for three years now. Awsome unit, everything is tight as heck and ran into the same goofy front IO cable through the mounting plate issue. One thing I haven't figured out is how to alter or turn off the RGB on the top fan (unless I buy another fan and deconstruct the whole thing... again).

I admire your courage for buying an ITX custom build PC on the fly. And you can't get enough of Japanese PRO wrapping enough, indeed.

[@Randomninja47]

I really kinda wanna build a mini-pc like this. Pretty sure I was one on another channel once and it seems compact and fun. But also, I need like 8 of those stickers stuck on the side panel because that art was sick.

Itx fix for the noctua fan and psu fan facing the same direction, flip the noctua fan so it pulls through the cpu coolerand out the psu, Ive done it for my itx system and saw a 10 degree drop in temps

Your build is basically 50% of my new SFF daily driver that's smaller than 5L. CPU, check. Motherboard, check. Cooler, check(minus swapped fan for a Chromax), RAM and that's where the similarities cut off. I'm using a 256GB 980Pro M.2 and a Inland Pro 1TB(ew but it was all I had on hand), a HDPlex GaN 250W and the piece la resistance, the RTX A2000 6GB, inside a Stratos case. Not a bad little build.

Respect for the side sticker. Looks truly nice. :)

[@ikwilgeenkanaalzeur]

Cool case and colour, pretty good build!

[@xerxesYt23]

much like in Shenzhen China, Japan has quite the storefronts that are actually storefronts and being able to view and touch almost everything unlike in the US where its all enclosed in glass.

Thank you both this gave me a much needed lift

@16:15 - Meh, I have a GTX 295 in my retro Antec Super lanboy PC build. That baby is a friction fit, literally scraped into place! Worth it for the case and obscene XP/Vista gaming action. That baby plays Crysis maxed out at 1080p.

[@TheDarkestPhoenix]

Ha, they had the Hakos Baelz Y60 case. Nice. Rocking that one for my build.

[@FakeArdweaL]

We need more of those small pc builds keep it up bro.👍👍👍

[@parker3293]

This is my first video of yours and I love your style and the going abroad to build a pc 😂 Definitely subbing. Will check out your other vids and hope you do more of these foreign country pc builds!

[@DadGamingLtd]

Would turning the exhaust fan into an intake fan improve thermals at all?

[@brenolima7520]

I think it would make a bivg difference. I remember seen a similar video with JJ from Asus talking about that.

[@TK199999]

I won't lie I love the look of OG Japanese PC's from the 80's and 90's. Many were not in fact not beige boxes.

[@robertm8779]

cool case and decal looks great on it

[@markfriesen1435]

Akiba is a shadow of its former self when it comes to PC shops, but you did pretty well. There are still a few smaller ones where you can get deals but you need more time (and patience) to look around. I hope you’ll have a good time elsewhere in Tokyo as well.

[@jaxbade]

Honestly impressed by this build. 👌 Would be perfect for LAN parties.

[@ibm5155]

6:14 that case wasn't sold in a while, been visiting that store for 6 months and since then I always see it at the same place lol

[@deadend79pe]

Could you share the uncensored version? I want to know how did you apply the thermal paste. :>
