I'm surprised he didn't even bother to move the fans down to sit on top of the ram. Those aren't tall dimms by any standard, so he should have been able to drop the fans down the 5mm or so that it would've needed to clear the side panel. He was just looking for an excuse to watercool.

[@lukasstadler6594]

@@rcradiator the fans where directly atop of the DIMMs he already put them as low as he could.

[@rcradiator]

@Lukas Stadler That doesn't make sense at all. How did PCWorld manage to shove a behemoth Wraith Ripper into their Dune Case Pro when Linus couldn't fit a slimmer NH-U12S into his Dune Case? Keep in mind that both coolers are roughly 160mm tall (NH-U12S at 158mm tall while the Wraith Ripper is 160.5mm tall). The cooler also wasn't anywhere close to the lip of the side panel, so that's out. I noticed in the video that he propped the black fans up on top of the ram while removing fan clips from another fan (7:32 time stamp), but I think what happened is he adjusted them up while putting the fan clips on the black fans.

Linus, you should take this down. The company has been promising to deliver this product and continually misleads consumers on when it will be manufactured. They post a litany of excuses when they don’t meet there own dates for production and, for years already, have not been able to produce evidence of a consumer shippable product that is actually being delivered. I know the pitfalls of giving money to a backer based startup, but I feel like the company right now is in that phase of grief where they have all this capital and possibly some legitimate production parts, but they don’t have the ability to get the job done. And they don’t want to be scammers but are truly looking for a way out of the mess they are in. I even feel like the unit they sent you had Mac Pro parts in it, just to get a believable demo unit to you. Did you check if that front grill is literally from an Apple Mac Pro? Because now they are saying they can’t manufacture the front cover because of mold issues, 1 year after they sent you this prototype. Please be skeptical for us, and don’t legitimize a company that clearly has no plan or ability to manufacture something like this. Love your show and keep up the great content. Thanks

@Juan Cortez Muro IKR ITS SO FUNNY I FORGOT TO LAUGH

@@Mxjor aluminium is a comparatively expensive material and machining is also expensive, it's impressive they're only charging $250 for it considering all the thick aluminium panels and machining that goes into it, and limited production runs. This is about the same price as a DrZaber Sentry case(much smaller and completely steel) so reflect on that for a moment.

[@twentylush]

@Belagerungsmörser the Sheep "Steel is much harder to machine" eh. Not really. Keep in mind that there are different grades of aluminum and the price can stack pretty high with the treatment considered

The LG competition got me thinking. I have multiple times in the past tried to setup some distribution of linux on a laptop and there's always some functionality (sound, ports, media keys from keyboard, sensors, screen rotation or tablet mode) that just refuses to work without resorting to 1) excessive amount of googling, 2) finding what part of the OS is bugging out and 3) fixing the bug by myself. This is why I usually try to buy a laptop that has the fewest possible amount of features so the probability of non-functioning features is slightly smaller. Does a modern laptop exist where all of the features work out of the box?

I ordered the case 121 weeks ago (nov 2019), Still didn’t get one. It’s not even shipped or made nor is Dune transparent about when or if I will ever get it. I asked for a refund from Indiegogo. Unfortunately they couldn't give one because Dune already collected the money without doing what they supposed to do. Dune stole from Indiegogo and from your backers. I hope that Alex from Dune can sleep with himself and I will talk in behave of all backers. We will be sure that the whole world will know that DuneCase is a scam.

[@mndlessdrwer]

That actually seems like a shockingly decent case design, though I feel quite certain that it's expensive AF. Still, not as though there aren't worse looking and more poorly constructed cases which demand exorbitant prices. Also, this motherboard isn't alone in lacking fan speed curve controls. It seems like a decent majority of workstation boards which are derived from server boards rather than consumer boards lack such functionality. I don't know why this is the case, but here we are. If you're going to bother getting a workstation motherboard, only bother with Asus's insanely expensive premium line of workstation boards if you want to have proper controls and overclocking options. I got one of their cheaper ones for the LGA2011v3 platform and it won't even let me set the RAM speed. I'm sorely tempted to just give up on the option to add a second processor in the future and just jam my existing setup into an X99 board and run with that instead just so I can get reasonable performance controls.

Currently I am using a Toshiba PA3758U, it is virtually unusable as it is so old slow and extremely heavy. Also the keyboard not working requiring me to bring around a mini keyboard to plug in doesn't help. Since I am going to college next year to study computer science which I would need a computer or laptop for and I could really use a LG Gram for its minimal weight and good specs. As an 18 year old with 70 year old back problems I know the light weight could benefit me greatly😂😂.

Linus, please take this video down, this video was the reason why many decided to back the project, or as the campaign owner used to call it ‘pre-order’, we’ve been waiting for almost 2 years and all they gave us is more and more excuses, some are even calling it a scam now. None of the backers, not even one has ever received the dune pro. I will remove this comment once even a single backer has received the case. Let this be a notice to potential backers still willing to back that they can’t deliver, they are opening a new website to take in more ‘pre-orders’ soon please don’t fall for it.

[@smmmokin]

He added "Do Not Buy" in the title. Looking at their funding page and seeing this video still there with that added to the title is way better. Glad Linus did that.
