Honestly the layout makes sense, especially since rooms... well, tend to have more vertical space than horizontal space. Thermals are going to be far better if each component gets its own access to fresh air. I'd love to have more of these types of cases for mini itx builds, especially if they can fit in AIO radiators for CPUs.

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

^This is exactly my issue with this build... Is it looks aesthetically sweet. But in actual practice its like another PC you'd want point blank AC vent to keep it decently cool'd XD. Which defeats the purpose of the aesthetics.

isn't most people put their pc below the table so vertical space is even more limited because of it

TOP TIP: When using hot glue in your projet, use the BLACK one. Not just because it's harder to spot, but because it has way more mechanical strenght than the clear one. The clear glue is for arts and crafts. The black glue is for actually gluing things in place, although temporarily.

[@_evildoer]

My dad used to use hot glue all the time back in the day, and NOTHING ever stayed stuck. Its garbage. Also, you cannot glue something as large as you are with hot glue because it cools/sets VERY fast, and by the time you do both sides of the case its already too cold on the other side. Especially when you are putting it on metal, which conducts the heat away very efficiently

[@supersuede91]

fuck hot glue

[@genderender]

Hot glue is amazing for wood/wood products and literally nothing else. I use hot glue for cheap tool chest dividers and odd things like that and it works amazingly, but with no other materials does it work

[@psiah9889]

It's a solid option for attaching fabrics to something in crafts, but yeah it's not particularly great.

[@the_wiki9408]

Hot glue (and most simple glues) needs some texture to grab on to. It can't grab smooth metal, as evidenced by how easy they just keep peeling it off. It is for things like cardboard, wood, fabric where it can seep into the fibers and hold on. To glue smooth surfaces, you need something that chemically bonds, like epoxy.

[@acters124]

I live in southern states of america and during summer my hot glue sticks better because the weather is just so much hotter, there is much time possible before it cools and hardens. of course that means I am sweating bullets and everything feels hot to the touch, but thats what I get for working in the sun.

Flank your desk with one of those and a tower fan. Not only will they look fairly similar providing symmetry, but you get a fan blowing air on you when it's warm, and when it's cold if you move the tower fan next to it, you get a free bonus space heater to keep you nice and comfy.

[@CommodoreFan64]

That's an idea, but I've owned a couple of tower fans, but to clean them you have to take them apart with 20+ screws depending on the model, and a bunch of plastic clips pulling them in 1/2, which is a true pain in the ass for what amounts to less cooling than a basic 12in oscillating floor fan that can be cleaned in just a few minutes with less than a handful of screws to remove if you want to take it down to the motor for serious cleaning.

@@Tee_eM_Kay What I mean is, the GPU sits vertically, so the ports either come out on top of the case (which I hate due to dust accumulation and cable orientation) or you use a bracket on the back that connects to the GPU output ports.

why didn't they make a slide in panel

[@goblinkrunch]

With a little bit of revision, I think this case is damn cool. I'd definitely be interested in picking up one of these in the future

Nice video keep up the great work! 👍

The problem with adhesive in aerospace is that you can't properly validate the strength of the bond so it's rarely used for critical structural applications. The famous Aloha airlines accident where the airplane turned into a convertible was actually because of an adhesive failure. They used adhesive to reduce the stress concentration on the rivets connecting two fuselage sections but the adhesive failed causing the rivets to get a higher load than intended leading to failure.

Really redefines the meaning of Tower PC

Hot glue is well known to bound two metal plates together. Especially on smooth surfaces, aka without using sandpaper prior. It can also withstand heat from the computer with no issue. That's why it's called hot glue after all. Keep going.

the ASMR Linus I knew I needed but wasn't willing to admit

[@costafilh0]

Depending on how well this video performs and other videos from the same product on bigger channels in general, Thermaltake or Cooler Master will definitely copy it!

[@MrDarkbluewater]

I loved the part where Linus gave them credit for aligning the GPU screws with the vent on the side. The vent that is supposed to be covered up by the glued on side panel.

[@mr.almezeini647]

okay linus you finally got me to watch a full ad. that ad transition got me laughing😂😂.

[@charlesschneider7079]

Instead of hot glue, look at automotive trim adhesive. It's a tape which makes it easier to use and sticks really well.

[@SomeDumbRandomUser]

When using hot-glue: make a puddle, so it doesnt loose its heat as quickly - especially when glueing metal. metal makes it loose heat so qiockly that it doesnt get to really bond with the material (thats also a neat trick if you want something to be able to get the glue off of easily as well)

[@PAEz...]

That thing is just waiting to get painted. That company should send some to all the yt artist....10 Hundred does awesome with that form factor.

[@Komplexitet]

This made me realize that I would love a case that is just a bench that I can put on my desktop and have screens on top of.

[@ani_b]

I have the Thermaltake Core P3, best case I've ever used. The looks, the open design for airflow, the neat way to organize cables in the rear compartment. It's just perfect. I also thought I saw one in the background of one of Linus's videos?

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

12:16 that case looks amazing.

[@chrisoverson]

Would be so much nicer if that side-panel could be kept on with magnets. Tip btw: When putting hotglue on metal the heat will sink into the metal very quickly and the glue will set within seconds, so if you take 30 seconds to put the side panel back on it's more or less set already. If you really want to make something like that permanent, neutral cure silicone or VHB tape would have worked easier... or VHB backed velcro 🙂

[@patrickjeromeobaldo2450]

If they upgrade the case stand/feet, and drill Vesa mounting holes, this whole case could be THE monitor stand itself for a clean desktop.

[@snowpython]

I like the idea of a vertical desktop case that looks good is awesome. I'd buy a case from them

[@snowpython]

If it was reasonably priced

[@Slikx666]

Apart from the construction issues I find myself liking it. And the white side could be painted however we want.

[@xanderwusky]

I’d really like them to design this so you could lay it flat as well. Or offer a version made for that. Since the closed side doesn’t have any ventilation I would think that would just work. You could have a sort of soundbar/monitor riser pc case. Also absolutely please do switch to screws or magnets for holding the sidepannel on. Glue is something I want to see as little as possible of in final products. It’s bad for repairability, recycling, reliability, everything pretty much. Magnets would look just as clean or screws would just do the job better if that’s to expensive to add.

[@matthewbockwitz6107]

I watch some automotive KZbin channels and I learned that the panels on McLaren is glued on. They use a special 3m panel bonded

[@a0dnk1]

This is genuinely a cool product. If they can nail the design aspect, Id buy this.

[@egmccann]

I ... think I really like the look and idea of the case. Some execution work to be done, yes, but... it's an interesting concept, form factor and look.

[@yourmetalgod69]

I have a delivery of a Thermaltake CTE C700 coming Monday. I will be transplanting my currant build into it mostly because it is the only case that can fit all three of my 280mm rads at a reasonable cost. I cant imagine a 100$ case
