[@SynthwaveGoose]

I'm very glad you enjoing my music. Also will be nice if you'll credit me in description. Thanks!

[@jolness1]

Such Optimum For real though, definitely one of my favorite channels. Loved SFF PCs since shuttle was the hotness. Still rocking a full size tower but now that I have built an ESXi server for storage and other stuff, I can cram my main machine into a little case and display it proudly on my desk

[@optimumtech]

My craziest custom loop yet. I'm insane. Note: Sidearm T1 is not yet available, this is an upcoming case. First batch is currently held due to Coronavirus outbreak. Another note: The case designer recommends the Alphacool LT240 radiator (25mm thick), I used the Alphacool ST30 for this build (30mm thick). Thanks for watching!

[@abdulmuhaimin5274]

"SFF Endgame" sounds like Tony Stark has joined the chat, mate. 😄😄😄 And I love your PC build. 😍😍😍

[@Wirenfeldt1990]

Consider getting shorty wifi antennas too.. i did for my S4M and it’s really handy..

[@pivorsc]

Hey, could you review some sff cases for storage? Like U-NAS Cases that are made for DIY nas servers?

[@TastyLaserCakes]

Do you plan on swapping that radiator for an LT240 as recommended? If not, then is there a particular reason why you wouldn't recommend a new build using the LT240 over the ST30? Thanks ahead of time.

[@mystic8260]

Great build. At 28mm thickness, the EKWB 240mm SE is 2mm thinner than the Alphacool rad which is 30mm. That could solve the problem with fitting the rad. It is however 4mm longer than the Alphacool's.

The background audio coupled with the slo mo b-roll coupled with your really calm demeanor makes this video production for youtube a real cut above. Your other videos dont get me wrong are very well put together but this one is just a cut above. Thumbs up, watching from the UK.

[@asuzi]

the transitions are so clean with the cases appearing out of no where with the dialogue being seamless! great work ali!

something about you and your videos gives me the vibes of an australian guy living in and making videos in the states; in any case, i like your channel's mix of insane production value and chill commentary, keep it up! :)

[@Mythricia1988]

The clean aesthetic of both your living space and your PC builds are inspiring!

[@Bob_Smith19]

Production gets better w/ every video. Keep up the great work 👍

[@JayRello1]

The radiator didn't fit because its not the 240mm radiator that was suggested. Wahaha said the only 240 rad he suggests is the LT240, which is 25mm in height. The rad used in this video is the ST30. Thats a 5mm difference. ST30: L x W x H: 275 x 124 x 30 mm LT240: L x W x H: 270 x 120 x 25 mm

[@optimumtech]

Now it all makes sense - that's on me then! I'm really happy with the result, I'll be keeping the current rad / fan setup. For those looking to replicate this build, definitely go with the LT240 instead, or a 120mm.

[@JayRello1]

@@optimumtech I definitely like the look of this case and plan on getting one myself. Love your videos, bro. Keep up the good work!

[@gk1121983]

Excellent, just excellent Ali. Your productions skills are insane. Although, it saddens me to see you abandon the ghost s1, the t1 seems to be a truly spectacular case. Definitely a worthy successor to the s1.

[@jussiniemela735]

Love the video. I was wondering, since the fans are too tall to fit in on top of the rad and make the panel bulge, could maybe use sand paper and shave 0,5mm off each side of the fan, since the plastic housing usually has some extra height on top of the actual fan. Great video, nice editing!

[@CorpseExplosion]

Great video as always. I'd love to see that dual rad M1 build you mentioned!

[@BenyaminLorit]

The flexing/bulging of the frame is kinda giving me anxiety lol. Damn this case is tight af

[@eshrug]

same lol

[@arcticfoxy6185]

To solve this the creator on forums recommends going strictly with Alphacool Eisbaer LT240 if you want to have AIO since it has a 25mm radiator where as the part apparently used here is 30mm thick.

[@eshrug]

ArcticFoxy Yep. Thought OT mentions it as well..

[@thuggfrogg]

Yeah true the vids are amazing but he totally overused that effect in the build section. It's tasteful but making it harder for me to pay attention / focus on what he's doing.

[@BenyaminLorit]

@@thuggfrogg sorry but I honestly have no idea what you mean. Hehehe. I meant the flexing/bulging of the case frame itself, nothing about the video.

[@dwindeyer]

I've also noticed that after putting in dual AIOs in my PC, it has significantly less dust than it's ever had. I think that since the airflow is now primarily pressure driven and not flow driven that it just doesn't have as much throughput for dust collection.

[@DVZNMedia]

You are insane fam, another great video.

[@pashahillyard8763]

I’m 20 seconds into the video and I think, “My God, it’s like a AAA movie.” Optimum tech is fun to watch even if I wasn’t interested in SFF pc builds
