Interesting colour scheme me thinks this may be a future classic.

[@useduction]

Love that color!

[@KitGuruTech]

It’s different ! Buying the case ?

[@useduction]

@@KitGuruTech it's on my short list!

[@Fisha695]

After doing a white & black build for my current system (black case, mostly white internals) I've been thinking recently about what my next build would be and I've settled on trying to go somewhat old school with as much green, blue and/or yellow(ish) PCB based components as I could get my hands on and then try to find a case with as much glass/plexi as possible to put it in and then tint the glass (and vinyl wrap the rest of the chassis) either atomic purple, orange, blue or green.

[@amdforlife5591]

Yeah thats really nice colors , not sure id buy it all myself, but as a themed build, its certainly different and attractive. that GPU would need sprayed to match though

[@siabee421]

wouldn't it be better to have the radiator as exhaust?

[@KitGuruTech]

Maybe if you want to lower system temps but I doubt it will make much difference. This way the CPU radiator is getting cool external air and it's positive pressure so should be good for keeping dust out as all intakes are filtered.

[@MLife1972]

With some orange highlights you could have a cool Gulf Motorsport theme.

[@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp]

hey thats pretty cool thinking ! I like that !

[@KnightRider-lq5yb]

[@GraceMcClain]

Oh wow, I really do love this. I wish more companies offered case colour options, instead of black, white, or grey.

[@johnerikson2443]

Agree 💯

[@RainbowSunset-uq2hs]

great build James Dawson - love watching you create systems. Hope to see another custom AMD build - that FRAME system you built was the most incredible thing ive seen on youtube

[@jimrford]

Look's great but I always feel despaired as soon as its "with a 4080 Super and a I9k..." I know its sponsored and its a show piece but I guess one can dream.

[@Games_and_Tech]

If this case had a traditional orientation it would be much more interesting

[@JitHster]

Yikes, that USB cable on the CPU/pump block. What where TT thinking? It should as a minimum been a 90 degree plug 🙈

[@Jubitu9]

90degree and in white or blue color.

[@KitGuruTech]

I thought the same when installing it.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Great build James. ❤❤

Thanks 🙏

[@georgelowrielowrie5428]

That is absolutely stunning 😍 I'd say all the city fans are loving that! 😅 mabey do a football series?? 😂

[@YuasBirds]

I really love the hydrangea blue, got the tower 300 and the AIO, good chance I'll get the rest of the products too. Absolutely stunning, I'm also really happy with the turnaround in quality from thermaltake, hope they keep it up!

[@iamahappybunny7640]

[@powermaster5004]

James amazing build man. Watched this twice now. Love that psu too !

[@psix130]

Interesting to see the deep cool Morpheus in comparison with the thermaltake

[@konic40]

Looks like the case would allow u to mount fans to the back cover as well

[@QuentinStephens]

I'm really not a fan of the way you transition between segments when showing off the finished build after the 12 minute mark. But I otherwise loved this video. Watching you build is always a pleasure. I do have a question regarding the GPU mount: can it be moved towards the front of the case? I ask because fibre-optic transceivers can be quite large and the fibre cables cannot be tightly bent. Speaking of video cables, does the case have a rubber grommet where they exit the case? If not, I can see cables getting cut over time. Keep up the good work.

[@KitGuruTech]

There are three positions for the graphics card when installed at the front/bottom of the case like this. In this build it was in the central position, you can move it to the right by approximately 30mm or so more I think.

[@QuentinStephens]

@@KitGuruTech Excellent, thank you.

[@philipjfry628]

Love the relaxing Timelapse build music. Way better than all the curse words he must have been using and scraping noises when things go wrong.

[@EdnattPoling]

Do Thermaltake know that hydrangeas come in more than one colour?

[@jamesjessenden7838]

I like the attention to detail they used with their colouring. Made everything flower colour. Its nice. Having so many fans just ticking over must make it whisper quiet. Nice build.

[@vanbilly8387]

It's going to take some powerful magic and engineering and design to beat the Hyte Y70 case now, but I do like all the glass and air flow in this case. The magnetic fans with swappable blades is new to me. Going to have to look into those. These high-end cpu's suffer from really high temps, so cases today need tons of airflow. 14 fans?! Holy Moly! That's a LOT of cooling capacity. That was one super clean build. I'd have to put it in a display case of its own and just stare at it.

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

I like that case but thought hyte could have made the chassis stronger. Very thin metals and a lot of flex. The screen is great though. James found the same thing in his review.

[@harleylover9446]

Wow that looks stunning. I didnt like the photos of these hydrangea components, but when you see them in action, they look really different. I noticed you said you didnt really think you liked them either, its a tough one to get used to, but I think id consider some of these going forward, do something different

[@KitGuruTech]

Blue isn't normally my colour but I have to admit that when it's all put together it looks good.

[@PubliusHadrianus]

those three fans on that graphics card look awfully wobbly and off-center while spinning... are they going to rip themselves out of the sockets? looking at them gives me foreboding shivers of the impending nightmare.

[@KitGuruTech]

Its just the stickers that are not 100% perfectly central. 😊

[@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt]

Lovely job James. Well enamoured with this build. I would love a gpu to match. Would need to get the Pantone for the color and get it sprayed

[@KitGuruTech]

Would be possible ! We don’t own this gpu and it has to go back !

[@realkekec4028]

Nice clean build,the blue looks good.

[@KitGuruTech]

Glad you like it

[@Duvoncho]

I've been using this case since it was released here in the UK and so far it has been an utter joy to build in, maintain, and enjoy seeing daily. I'll be using this case for as long as it lasts. Big thanks to Leo for his early coverage, it was a great help. 👍🏻

[@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252]

Does the case have a rubber grommet where the cables exit ? that might be risky over time

[@KitGuruTech]

There are two exits for the rear I/O cables on the back of the case, one near the top without a grommet and one lower down closer to the power supply with a rubber grommet.

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

Do Thermaltake make an AIO water cooler for GPUs too?

[@KitGuruTech]

No but they make custom loop gear.

[@saleemremane4722]

Another cool video 👌

[@محمدبافياض-ه7ف]

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

Not getting the expression this case is striking at. Why isn't i balanced? As for what it is, it is simply huge. I just don't get why? Why? There is no functional nor form requirements calling for this. Other than staying true to the design style of 1999. What is the elegance here? How is this needed to function? And for form, what is the goal here?

[@dominictrottier3136]

Very good looking build but beginner error in the execution. You'll have bubbles in your pump as the radiator should have been installed the other way. Also, too many inflow fan compared to outflow.

[@tigerbalm666]

The "25" shoudl has been a fancy badge...not som cheapass print!

[@enzovulkoor]

I see the cpu cooler has a dent... So thermaltake never fixed that packing in their boxes. All they need is a tiny line of cardboard though so f' dumb.

[@KitGuruTech]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimbobborg22]

Years ago, you could only really get beige PC cases. I don't know when the trend started for different colored cases, but I'm enjoying the new colors now. I bought a Montech King 95 in red, still in the process of putting it together. Black components will be lit with pulsing red RGB fans and GPU. Should look sick.

[@KitGuruTech]

I remember the days of beige PCs very well, it was the time I started using, upgrading and modding them. We are spoilt these days with what is available.

[@gravef1ghter]

Okay, let me rephrase my earlier comment on this video. Firstly, James, excellent job on this build! Top-notch! Secondly, and what I meant is, that at this price point, Thermaltake should have included rubber grommets and at least a few cooling fans with this case. Other manufacturers do and at a lower price.

[@KitGuruTech]

Yes that’s a tough one to argue 👍🏻

[@stevewatson6839]

I like the colour but the 25 years logo looks tacky... you could say Thermaltacky!!! I'll let them off though; their kit has improved a few hundred per cent in recent years. I'd use a lot fewer fans if I were going with this colour scheme; it makes it extra busy and I couldn't be doing with that in the corner of my eye. I'm City 'til I die, but I don't think this is liveable. Very tidy as usual with the superb cable management.

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks Steve !

[@seankerr1616]

i just built an amd system like this in the tower 300 Hydrangea Blue.. Just one question where did you get the ram from.. i live in Australia and cannot find it locally

[@markod7662]

If Thermaltake think that this color of the case justifies higher price, they are ga-ga. If anything, it should be cheaper. Otherwise i have built in the ceres 300 tg and the case is ok. Again, add on lcd screen is priced at 100 plus €. Why make a product hardly anyone will buy. I would pay 50 max for a screen of that size. Good thing there is plenty of competition in the pc case market!

[@KitGuruTech]

You don’t like the blue colour then ?

[@markod7662]

@@KitGuruTech i do in general, but it should not cost more because of it. It is nothing special. Otherwise all of their cases are interesting (and price is usually ok), including this one, it is a bit different with the mobo orientation.
