MATX lan party gaming case for under $50 (IONZ KZ X1)

[@tomfps8096]

I built in this today, cable management is a little tricky in it but it didnt look to bad in the end, the PSU socket being built in the case is an interesting design choice.

[@DumbDownTech]

Agreed cable management is tricky, but well worth it as it is a very nice and tidy system once finished, The PSU location i quite like, something different from the norm which is nice to see.

@@DumbDownTech yeah, i usaully build in standard micro atx or full size cases so it was different to build in, only took me like an hour an half to build it to which is quite quick for me tbh haha, great videos.

[@DumbDownTech]

@@tomfps8096 Very Kind of you to say, It took me about 2 hours in the end for mine, and that is before i needed to change the PSU and then cable manage again, So you have most defiantly got a good amount of skill over me.

@@DumbDownTech haha, well thats cool, i mean, im 18 years old and ive loved everything computers since i was 8 years old and love beingi inside computers haha, ive only actually started puttng system together since like 2022 but have been a PC gamer for years lol and i guess the knowledge ive accumulated over the years definitely helped with building pcs, only thing i had to get used to was using a screwdriver since that was new to me at the time haha, im good with that now though lol, carry on with the great videos!

@@tomfps8096 wow only 18, i didn't even get a pc until i was 19 and the 1st time i even upgraded ram i must have been about 30, i am very far behind

they're out of stock it's annoying me so much. Lian Li Dan A3 is bigger and nearly double the price after shipping. Otherwise nothing else like this for the price. Appreciate the review

I might get this for my SFF build

[@DumbDownTech]

Soooooo, i have done the build and i did fit everything in, But i will say if you can use an SFX PSU If budget allows, i would recommend that as it was VERY tight to fit the GPU, Video will be up in a few days for the build and afterthoughts of the build (Small preview - I really like it) . Chris

@@DumbDownTech ty so much!! I actually already ordered this case yesterday, I was wondering if I could fit a full size psu with a bigger card but I see now it'll be difficult.

[@DumbDownTech]

@@kombuscha1777 I'm sure you will find it easier than i did, it had been a long day before the build, Good luck dude.

Imagine steam deck lan party

[@DumbDownTech]

That sounds fun, But i am trying to get that 90s and early 2000s feeling that i never got to experience, I have never forgotten the image of the 1 person strapped to the ceiling 😂

@@DumbDownTech We used to have one every month or so back then. Lugging in 20in CRT monitors and Antec full tower cases! Pizza and beer all weekend. Good times. It's a lot easier to sit at home and connect on discord these days of course. Nice case fore a decently compact mATX build shown here.

@@TheJamesKF I Half wish i could have experienced them days but also very glad that i am able to carry a lot less around in today age
