This BLEW me away! - Meshless AIO SFF by Meshless Design

I don't know if it was just me but several times throughout the video, it sounded like the mic audio had been doubled up and ever so slightly out of sync (like a couple ms) for a couple seconds each time. eg 8:15 , 12:41 and 13:40

[@Gepstra]

[@anthonyscrivener2267]

[@musematt]

[@psilon6999]

it's because both of them have mics on them and when they get close to each other it doubles the voices.. also probably because they use wireless stuff which introduces that desync

[@LashanR]

[@aaronjones4529]

@@FREQQLES Yeah, you are correct that they said it was designed for i9s, so they did set a high expectation... However, to be fair, there's not many SFF cases that wouldn't thermal throttle with that hardware... If you're an SFF builder, then you're well aware that you have to make some trade-offs for the form factor... Also bare in mind that they didn't mention undervolting; again something that SFF builders immediately lean heavily on... For goodness sake, theres plenty of examples of 14900k owners struggling to cool their CPU with a 360AIO and a crap ton of fans!... And finally, don't forget that that was throttling in Cinebench, a 100% synthetic load that pulls 250-300W with that CPU - even a 14900K only pulls an approximate maximum of 120W when gaming. My point being; it was a mistake to make such a broad statement that set expectation unreasonably high to begin with... Your average PC builder wouldn't neccessarily take for granted that there will have to be a bit of a trade off somewhere. And yes, I know I talked about gaming a lot, and not productivity workflows, but with a productivity setup you'd be erring towards a compromise on case size, using a larger case that can accommodate one or even two 360mm radiators to cool the beheomoth that is the 14900K!... Horses for courses.

[@doodskie999]

Honestly, this concept is cool. Just a single fan, less wires, less complications, less maintenance and more quiet

[@HateMerchant]

its not a single fan tho there are like 5 others

[@hunterromano5562]

even then. the lack of concentricity and support on the fan will cause issues. there is a reason why boats, fans, and submarines all use a relatively common design. this thing will destroy itself quite quickly. twist a straw in your fingers loosely then with one hand slowly add pressure (simulating a bearing wearing) and apply pressure until it eventually wears unevenly and seizes. I could see that thing flopping as it was spinning almost immediately, personally I wouldn't expect it to last much more than a years worth of use with the current design.

[@SuperFlawless2010]

and its not quiet/

[@dtibor5903]

In industrial equipments and racks this is very common

[@thoryan946]

@@hunterromano5562 I think it will be just as reliable as your standard axial fan in a PC case. These fans are in use in HVAC equipment. I have one in my furnace and mini split AC. My furnace is over 25 years old and the fan is still running quite strong. Plus you see that design used in industrial equipment.

[@byrd3242]

Honestly for the manufacturing complexity and how well thought out the build process is for a small form factor case that can accommodate a full size gpu the price seems super fair to me. When they started alluding to the price I thought it was going to be in the 600-700 range. If I didn't have a ton of storage drives and it being too early for a system rebuild/upgrade I would consider this case if I was going for a small desktop unit. It looks super clean and well done unlike a lot of small desktop form factors that look imo like pretentious crap, hopefully meshless does well I like their approach and look forward to more designs from them.

[@chicken_punk_pie]

same here

[@babel_fishing]

I was also expecting a much higher price. $350-$400 is around what those NZXT H1 cases were going for (those included a 120mm AIO + SFX PSU, but were not made as well as these, nor could they accommodate massive GPUS). This thing seems quite fairly priced. If I was in the market for a new case, I’d be taking a long look at this one.

[@RanaLoca]

I hope these guys do good. 360 for this case for such a niche audience and design is pretty reasonable I think. Having something this small, that can fit this much power is difficult to begin with. Add onto that, the ease of assembly, and incredibly clever and well thought out design, make this case almost a no brainier for someone who was going to spend as much as the rest of the components in the system cost already. My main concern is how reliable the fan will be and how easy it will be to get a hold of a new one since meshless is the only one that makes it, because it's so non-standard. I hope these guys do some great business, because it would be such a shame for something like this to die and users can only use this case for as long as the fan lives.

[@crazya8038]

I'd consider it but I don't really like the look, I'll be paying attention for there next case, if it's more attractive I'll seriously consider it because it does seem like a great company

There's actually a single server (that I know of) that uses a type of cross-flow fan. The Dell VRTX came out in 2012 and it's an "under the desk" solution for branch offices that need local servers. It's a type of blade server specifically designed to be deployed in an office space. They use four squirrel cage fans (cross flow) to cool the blades and several more traditional fans to cool the main board and hard drives. I use one as a home server and it's noise levels are very good (compared to other servers). It does sound just like a bit of white noise, exactly as you described. The one downside is the heat generation. While the VRTX has good acoustics, that doesn't stop it's massive heat generation from its 4x1200 watt PSUs. With each blade running 2x Xeon CPUs, you end up with 8 CPUS running in a small form factor server with 24 hard drives in its integrated SAN. It goes beyond a space heater into the realm of a house heater or sauna.

Cross flow Fans are really great for Tower Room fans, I got one, it's basically just a case around a massive Cross flow Fan. They also find use in heaters because they can move a lot of air. And this is probably the first case I see in a long, long time that actually deserves the price tag. The majority of sheet metal cases out there are overpriced.

[@kazefw3834]

Most of the price for overpriced case goes into the branding. In this case, the price is justifiable, even incredible to say, that's a lot of custom stuff and with such a small batch, I don't even know how they pull out a price as low as that

That case is frankly one of the most thoughtful PC case ever built. Not as easy as a mid tower or full tower, but for an itx case it looks rather easy to put stuff in correctly & easily. It, and the build quality rather justify the price.

"Expensive" is relative for that cross flow fan. A single Corsair LL RGB 120mm fan goes for more money than that. Sure, more bling but if we're going for function over form, it's not out of this world pricing. Also, this'd push more air than a single 120mm so you'd be needing 2-3x of them, making for similar price anyway when buying cheapo fans. Easily palatable pricing if it solves your needs.

i actually had a SFF case and crammed one near my GPU, i slightly damaged the PCB, but i got it to be far cooler, and it worked i got it to be basically full fan speed performance with idle fan speed noise level it might not sound like much, but thats an AMAZING tradeoff on another note, i think we need governments to add wattage restrictions for individual components, so companies get creative to get these systems to work without all of these dangerous new connectors that keep causing fires, or wattage requirements that would either overload house wiring or need rewiring to get it to work properly the "80 series" and "80ti series" class of cards need to be the highest wattage card under such a rule, and i mean that as in the current cards in terms of wattage requirements (or lower) the idea would be that you get things more power efficient for a myriad of reasons, but one could be that you then have a set thermal performance target, and thus another way to determine a part's lifespan capability

Honestly, this is a premium product, not an overpriced one. Extrusions that size are *INSANELY* expensive, for one thing.

[@gtjack9]

Eh, if they can sell enough of them the price drops dramatically. Extrusions are extremely mass producible and efficient as a manufacturing technique, once you paid of the tooling that is

That's a SMART air purifier operating on the flagship cpu and gpu! You'll get the cleanest air in your room that your chronic sinus will be gone within a week.

[@kakaboom55]

Its basically a split air(cond) unit's blower into a case, someone needs to mount a R32 compressor into it now.

[@Thiquid]

I'm not gonna lie, it is expensive, but I expected it to be absolutely unreasonably high based on the way you guys were talking about it up until the end. I think it's a relatively solid price point for a limited run of a unique, high-quality enthusiast item

[@Brogboolius_Maximus]

The payoff for that acronym alone was worth the entire video. Bonus that the case was really cool, too!

[@Ash-ft5su]

I would actually consider buying this. It is expensive, but it's not extortionate. I'm not a fan of the carry handle, though. It's a little confusing how they didn't see that as a problematic design. Everything else seems really well thought out and engineered.

Linus seems happier and more clear minded after stepping down from running the whole company.

[@napalmarsch]

im using a Silverstone RL-FX121 since release as a front intake it works flawless

Silicone covered wire isn't more expensive to purchase but its more expensive for assembly because its so fragile it has to be handled carefully to prevent cuts in the silicone housing. unless you are placing the wire lose to a heat source its not the best option.

Hi there! Free tip for measuring fan noise - capture not only decibels, but also noise spectrum. This will tell how comfortable the noise is, "whiny" or not

I have that portable cross flow fan in the video which is supposed to be for laptop cooling. It doesn't quite work on gaming laptops, but after my desktop went dead and I decided to just use egpu on my work laptop, I figured out that this kind of thing is great for improving airflow on ultra slim laptops. With some thermal limit unlocking with throttlestop it makes a great choice for gaming. In fact it's even possible to use VR on such setup.

[@Corsuwey]

I love it when Linus makes people he works with nervous.

[@wesleyclark2032]

“Wooooooow” Brilliant video. I’m going to buy this setup.

[@ZeroSuitSamo]

That is a super cool case. And I think the cost of the fan was being overstated a little considering its the only fan the case has. Sure you could buy a multipack of cheaper fans for the cost of one long boi, but you would need that whole multipack to keep a standard computer case cool. Hell even my ammo can computer has 3, though admittedly the 40mm is just there cuz I thought it was cool lol

[@GriffinHooper]

Multiple mics are nice when edited right. good video, funky editing.

[@trs5127]

13:48 you guys EXACTLY know what you were doing there lmfao

[@Emulation_Inflation]

Yeah!

[@TheoLubbe]

Funny, I was considering exactly those sorts of fans a whole bunch of years ago for a case I wanted to build out of wood.

[@purringc5552]

I've seen a lot of case reviews that were expensive, but this is the ONLY one that I've seen that has me excited! I would buy this case! I'm very picky and usually only spend $100 to maybe $150 on a case.
