Wow, beautiful case!

[@hompalai]

I didnt expect you here

[@JazzManMilan]

hompalai I know right? Also this case is overpriced holy shit.

[@hompalai]

JazzManMilan Yus, i got the Define R5

[@JazzManMilan]

Yeah.. I got the same for my desktop. Just looking for a micro atx case atm.

[@kNo1bdy]

Hey I know u

[@gazmodo1192]

I really love how often you guys use Monstercat produced music in your videos - It started in your build guides, and now it's in the intro - It's fantastic to see a channel like you guys (who started small and have worked your way up to the 1.3 million subs you're at so far) support up-and-coming artists who produce awesome music. I love this channel so much.

[@rickonami]

Dear Linus.... Can u make a video on Rendering comparisons on regular Nvidia GTX vs Quadro cards? Render under 3D MAX or other 3D programs? Or perhaps is it possible to overclock the GPU for Quadro cards?

[@TheStaticable]

Dude I love your vids

[@vinercent215]

That would actually be something good to know, there is literally no documentation on that

[@maxmustermann194]

Viner Cent just compare the number of cuda cores ;) pricewise there's no point in titans/quadros because dual gtx 970/980 outperform a single quadro easily while costing less. Unless you need double precision it's not worth it. I have seen some cuda performance graphs from nvidia, it was basically the cuda cores numbers.

[@benjamen007]

Great idea, something very useful for video makers.

[@Dubsys]

there's tonnes of info on this already, it doesn't matter. quadro cards are made for cad, not rendering videos.

[@ledzeppeman]

This is the best channel on KZbin, TV, or anything else. This shit is just so great. I love these videos.

[@LorelynF]

That looks very minimal and cute. :) I honestly had to replay your intro because I thought I misread something then poop - "We Have No Slogan!" Love it. HAHA! Best Slogan 2015. Great review LinusTechTips BTW.

[@IllusiveManJr]

Couldn't agree more

[@th3broffesiona121]

Hello *****

[@LorelynF]

Th3Broffesiona1 : Ohai! =)

[@nikosgevre2821]

This case doesnt look cute to me..

[@exyia3404]

#BestSlogan2015

[@NanoMine]

"We have no slogans" FTW!! The best one ever!!

[@mini-_]

"We have no slogan". Winning!

[@iamsioth]

RIP N1 classic. Weird as all hell seeing a younger Linus lol.

[@Spectrum184]

You of all people should know that not all non-reference design cards vent to the inside of the case. I have an evga card that has better cooling than stock and vents out the back of the case. This is the first compact case that I have seen you review that I would actually buy.

[@error2k2]

Which evga card vents out?

[@JayJapanB]

error2k2 I think some of the old 7xxs did. The non ACX ones.

[@xxstrawberries5833]

If ur case venting card has a rear exhaust also. Just put duct tape around the inside of the card so it only goes out the back,problem solved

[@error2k2]

Erm. That would work but you would have to lower fan speeds as the pressure would get a little high and ad resistance to the fan.

[@untuchaball9611]

Wow, what a coincidence. Just yesterday I was saying why linus hasn't reviewed this case. Now finally it has come!

[@danermanerkider]

Jesus, this is the best looking and tiniest case I've seen besides maybe the Node 304. I'm considering leaving my ATX build plan and going with ITX again with this as the case. It even has a slim ODD slot, triple expansion slots, and room for a 240 rad, sounds perfect.

[@vojtasTS29]

ITX elite 110 user here... :D Love small cases!

[@UniCrafter]

This case is amazing. The most compact full case I have ever seen. I would live to get one of these with a Z97 impact, 4790k, titan Z (for lolz) and somehow fit a decent enough PSU into this to run the thing. I would then have hoses come out the back and go to a dedicated radiator+pump+res unit, and sit the computer itself on my desk, with only the main ingredients and the blocks contained within.

[@ArturRybak1994]

"We have no slogan" I love you guys.

[@RapperRank]

One of my favourite things about building pc, every case has its own challenge and figuring out how to mount everything for best airflow and cable management is worth it

[@RubinRahman]

HOLY CRAP Massdrop is a really smart service, I don't usually say this but thanks for advertising them x)

[@kaburan1441]

I miss the old intro (idk it got me hyped) :D

[@ImDoneKilling]

same here

[@iosxbetax]

Me too!! Whenever I heard it I instantly got super excited! I was so shocked when I heard the new intro. It´s not even close as amazing... :(

[@guy990]

I can't believe that people are whining over a fucking intro

[@kaburan1441]

how about you shut your mouth keyboard warrior its called a comment section for a reason to give thoughts about the video

[@spapbp]

The old one's words went too fast for me to read (maybe I'm slow reader) but the new one uses pictures to give the viewer a clear understanding of what this channel is about

[@michelsbmx]

"We Have No Slogan" Love it!

[@de_stroyed]

Wow I love this case. Just so happend to be looking for a in-home PC that will be streaming off of my gaming PC. Going to try to get this one.

[@mrfarkyhars9192]

Still the king of ITX. Absolute design classic.

[@MsNIKITA]

Yea.. So good I bought two of them. One of them contains a FE RTX 3090 and fall water cooling.

[@SaffatBokul]

Love the intro animation. The combination of that music makes it perfect !

[@RichardWenborn]

Very nice case! and excellent first entry from NCASE

[@murdergames9684]

Once again a great product for anyone building a pc for university

[@CaveyMoth]

Mmmmmm...Classic Linus! Much better! 2:00 LOL..optical drive. Those were the days.

[@garywalsh5740]

Just bought this case...stunning esthetics!! Core i5 4690K, 8gb Ram, gtx 770, h100i, Silverstone 450 watt SFX PSU

[@groovyhippie1165]

I'd like to see cables shrink in size too. Imagine if you could run everything threw 7mm or smaller cables, power included. I know you can make your own and shrink wrap them but they can still bulk up in a small case. Nice case though and great review!

[@hellssephiroth]

Just ordered one of these, I was hoping Caselabs would do something tiny but I'll try this out.

[@Alexdengmusic]

Linus, you say plower supply instead of power supply. I can't unhear this.

[@jirehjohng.arafol3939]

By the way, I like your how to's, build guides, and unboxings and reviews video! Keep it up :)

[@eyedavis]

Linus please do a Build Guide of that System

[@jerhms]

i'd love that!

[@ldragopegasis2]

***** I 5th That! I would love a Mini ITX system!

[@eyedavis]

Never thought so many people would like to see that !!

[@jerhms]

Davis N. I guess great minds think alike :P

[@DeivMab]

2 years later and... ☹️

[@MisterGutsy108]

Wow, seeing that ssd take up almost half of the front of the case really gave an idea of how small this case is. Sometimes I find it hard to gauge the size of cases on video.

[@GiannisTsolakidis]

That new Intro is so nice, smooth, creative, and.. Material design ! :D

[@yoloswag5851]

Can you do another review on the v6 version of this case with current hardware?

[@luke7542]

id like to see a full custom loop as well with that lol

[@Anthony42ly]

"We have no slogan", this is definitely the best slogan I have ever seen.

[@IkaXpleZ]

I got this case it's amazing, the only difficult part was mounting the radiator, the screws were too small for the filters given with the case, so I had to buy 1.5mm filters

[@JensLarsson]

Love the mini pc case reviews, keep them coming

[@darkdynasty5097]

I'm going for Mini-ITX for my new build. Mini-ITX is the future in my honest opinion. Our processors are getting cooler, quieter and more efficient and GPUs are getting smaller and smaller (like the FuryX and Pascal will follow) so I'm going to bite the bullet and get Mini-ITX.

[@MattStephensRich]

Love the new Linus tech tips Intro, even without a slogan. ;)

[@ruboyjenks]

I wasn't ready for that intro

[@T0BBi94]

Wow that case looks amazing! I have also been a fan of this rout with really compact pc:s. Every case always have some drawbacks but this case have nailed everything! It is really impresive and even the design is something I would guess more people than myself find elegant

[@teamnitrogen210]

Wow, Linustechtips is almost at 1,400,00 subscribers. I remember when it only had 300,000!

[@IraQNid]

Ah, the good old days where shoving your cabling into the case, scraping your knuckles raw, and not being able to, or wanting to, see it all once the covers are put back in place. This brings back memories. Not necessarily fond ones when you factor in the aforementioned scraping of the skin. :)

[@RaphaelGP]

2:24 "BUTTER !"

[@pangtundure]

0:28 Imagine Linus in this era Making a 18K GOLD controller

[@georgelucas8287]

thanks to the linus media group Im watching linustechtips for the first time on my custom built pc specs: i5 4690k PNY GTX 970 8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE 1TB SSHD seagate 7200rpm 64MB cache gigabyte ga z97mx 400w EVGA psu 80+ bronze corsair 240 air just need windows, using ubuntu, but i built this for gaming and you lose fps when in ubuntu

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

That is a very nice little case.

[@Videokompuuter]

Case that has the absolute best heat managemant is Origin Millennium, review on that would be nice because with components side by side (motherboard rotated 90 degrees) they don't drop heat on each other but with this case it makes now sence to add big fan in the bottom (use hot air natural moving and bottom because it makes less sound than on top) and cpu with custom air cooling would lead hot air out of the back without any additional fans-most silent case probably.

[@andrestadelmann]

Hahaha, "We have no slogan." good one Linus!

[@TheFishingHutt]

anyone else absolutely loving the new intro

[@zonlymachine]

5 years later, still the only video i can find showing a HDD on the bottom

[@JayJapanB]

Just did some googling and found a 480mm rad NCASE build. As in 2x240mm rads. They fit one under a watercooled gpu at the bottom. 63deg Max temps(Pi) with a 4790k at 4.8ghz and a GTX 780. In a 12.8L case. And people are whining about cable management....

[@mcmaximax]

This is actually the first time I got exited about a tease.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

That is a very beautiful case. Thank you Linus.

[@Draelren]

Had one of these for quite some time, will be using it at PDXLAN tomorrow. :)

[@RealKanashii]

I saw this case born in hardware forums and I can point that's the top SFF gamer case ever and all started and made by only two people (Necere & wahaha360) with other members feedbacks. The price is high 'casue is a custom design send to a known big manufacturer to produce it on scale as long as the creators are not able to produce the case by themself. First model, in fact, was crowdfunded by forum's members. It's absolutly amazing the gamer's rigs made with this case and it's full of pictures of them.

[@Nobody-vr5nl]

Wouldn't u want the intake to be passive by making the fan exhaust creating negative pressure inside the case that would suck in cool sir from out side? Other wise ur making the case have positive pressure and that would help keep all the warm air inside.

[@bradval4119]

It gives up multiple processing cores, it gives up Hyperthreading and it gives up Turbo Boost. And also gives up the massive cache that the processors in its Haswell and Haswell-E family enjoy.

[@bradval4119]

Allan Patterson Yeahit makez 0 sense

[@bradval4119]

Reflexez You can't make me get dunked. YOu're f***ed.

[@bradval4119]

Allan Patterson And yes I know there's an X99 ITX board. I'm just referencing another video. And the socket is pretty big for a ITX motherboard.

[@TheOmegajimes]

A build video of this would have been really really cool.

[@dune_tech]

waited so long... funny enough tho, you posted this right after I finish my build with prodigy.

[@JesseCombsTwiZtedCheese]

I like the editing in these videos. Just looks more professional.

[@waterrocketengeneer]

Those intro slogans keep getting better and better

[@mattyl2413]

"we have no slogan" LOL that was hilarious! and ofc a good review!

[@Goofffi123]

woah linus! You look like a giant beside the case!

[@QuantumBraced]

If you don't want to go crazy with the overclocks, you can wait for the A4-SFX case, which is 40% smaller than this one, and the only things you sacrifice are water cooling/big air coolers and 3.5" drives.

[@Halofan4001]

Linus HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@mehfff]

This case looks a lot like the Cooltek W1 and W2 cases. They're a bit bigger than the NCASE, but I seriously urge you to check these cases out, and even there other cases. I'm not sure about it's availability in North America, but I think Cooltek is re-branded as Rosewill there. Anyways good review. Keep it up :)

[@bobmamipoko]

i have the case. its absolutely beautiful. the only downside i have with it is there isn't a manufacture that makes socket 2011 itx motherboards.

[@Nicktrance1]

Looks like an awesome case very tiny and beautiful and yet less compromises than even some small cases by bigger companies. I'd really just stick to SSDs for such small builds, put one or two in the front and leave the bottom as an intake with a filter for a large GPU cooler.

[@techfulltv7864]

HELLO DUCKY

[@alexvazquez1268]

"We have no slogan" That touched my heart

[@KameshSS]

Atleast put the "We tech things seriously" instead We have no slogan. We tech things seriously or Do as we say, not as we do.. are good..

[@mini-_]

There were a lot of people complaining about both.. Maybe that's why they did this

[@Mawson6492]

It changes daily lol

[@trevorrobb8436]

On the last live stream they mentioned that they're just using a bunch of random, stupid slogans. I personally love it!

[@therealr0bert]

Do as we say, not as we do. I feel that this isn't great slogan because it's already a common saying. Being a person that has been working on cars for literally as long as I can remember (seriously my absolute earliest memory is my father teaching me how an ignition switch works), I honestly couldn't even begin to count how many times I've heard that or a variation of that.

[@gla3dr]

woosh

[@darthplagueisthewise6832]

I feel like with every video, Linus is slowly but surely going insane.

[@DARKISSAC]

not gonna lie linus that is the best slogan evar

[@deadlemon]

Love my m1! Though I think you could have covered compatibility a bit better, maybe showing an ATX psu in the case for comparisons sake, or showing different fan configs.

[@jsan9791]

Love the new intro

[@chillz28]

Woha that is an awesome case!

[@andreat.5913]

Finally a good itx case with no compromise. I won't buy it still because I have more than a 2m^2 room to leave my pc in. And to go to play at a friend's house, we'll I still have to haul a monitor, mouse and keyboard so... It doesn't make a difference between this and a mid tower, really. Probably a good case if you really need a full fledged system in your living room.

[@MadOliveGaming]

This case makes me cry.. I didnt know about it so I bought a hadron air yet this is so much cooler :(

[@greenboy2304]

Love the new Intro!

[@NinjahCowboy]

Why could you not have done this review before Christmas i want this case

[@tacoburger5]

i love the intro xD "we have no slogan"

[@worstenbroodje6832]

'We have no slogan' Awesome intro xD

[@Aronsson007]

going from the phone to the laptop in the intro at 0:42, the laptop's animation does not stop exactly at the song's dunk (like all the others do). just wanted to Point that out.

[@Minion123]

Another great review Thumbs up

[@frostburn311]

Lets be real Linus, not too many if ANY people are going to look to build their very first PC in this case. This case is dead sexy with great build quality for experienced PC builders looking to go as small as possible without sacrificing performance so I think the lack of documentation and price are fine.

[@barbecuetechtips6024]

Best case ever! Can't wait to throw a x99 and titan x in mine.

[@JayJapanB]

I remember being on [H] right at the beginning and thinking "this project will never go anywhere..." ...Feels good to be proven wrong.

[@gillo2011]

Every night I dream of the day that Linus will reply to my comment? Will it be today or is tonight going to be tearful yet again...

[@gillo2011]

Not sleeping well either mate? Maybe Linus will one day reply to your comment and allow you to sleep better and get rid of your grumpy mood.

[@2987ms]

Ask him a question on twitter.

[@mobertlawl]

visualdragon lol

[@melifeendshere]

not happening.

[@bobjames1521]

post a comment correcting him or criticizing one of his design choices in a build. He'll reply with a rebuttal.

[@kingobscuritycf]

ive been waiting for this, i love my m1

[@skylarmorknerbrown]

I love all these new slogans :)

[@KazuUnix9]

This is amazingly small... But please do a video on one of my favorite smaller land PC cases. The Lian li tu100. Please oh please do a review of it Linus.

[@DeilGrist]

I'm in love with everything about this case but the price. They're going to need to drop pricing down by about 1/3 to even make it competitive. Would also like to see dust filtering for the GPU at some point in the future.

[@DeViLzzz2006]

LOL! POWEREST! Linus man you are cracking me up today. Smiles are plenty in my house right now. Thanks Linus!

[@glimpsetheinfallible7203]

Sweet case! I would like to see an option for a window though. But then I would need/want custom cabling. But it is pretty awesome for a first try.

[@M1.Designer]

There's no place for a window with the side intake fans in this layout. Accommodating a window would necessarily either make the case larger, or give up some features (e.g., radiator support).

[@Minion123]

Linus, did you notice, the last couple of your videos have brightness set to hi. I checked my monitor and my settings are ok.

[@bonsaiman101]

love your work Linus, as a console gamer wanting join the PC gamers it would be awesome if you could do a gaming PC build on a 2grand budget

[@mathiaskarl7490]

Woooo. More Brandon, can't wait!

[@DoctorrMetal]

You know what you should do? Make a NAS build inside a gaming pc. A case the size of a 900D or a little smaller is able to hold both a m-Itx and a std. ATX MB, that would be sick!

[@ewuldoer]

You said "couple" - I'm holding you to that!
