    Thank you so much. What I did after watching your video. (1) didn't like the fan case infront/covering the top left corner of the motherboard, so I moved it outside the case. (2) bought a USB c to USB 2.0 header for the 2nd USB C cable from case. (3) GPU is water cooled AIO so took the RGB panel out for the radiator and added a 120mm fan case under it. Everything else is almost identical. First build after 22 years. Wouldn't have been able to without your video! Thanks you so much.
  • @YGadgETech
    Just to let you know I built my rog Hyperion white build with your video helped me a lot you’re awesome keep it up man!
  • @foster6062
    Thank you, Christopher! This may be the most professional online video I have seen. I think it deserves a bit of compensation. Thanks again!
  • @videogamephenomhd
    The tower may be on the extravagant side, but its benefits, especially for having expanded airflow abilities, a built-in graphics card holder, and other cool quirks make this a fairly stylish gaming rig.
  • @Grysty41
    Greetings. This tutorial and example of a nice job on building a new PC is one of the best I've ever watched in a piece. An excellent video that clearly shows that it can be done without ads and unnecessary aspects of bullshit and nonsense around. Keep it up.
  • Great step by step... Aiming on this case for my next build evolving around a home theater setup.
  • @nolo2jz814
    Again, exceptional review, very very well done! Been a fan of your work ever since I came across it.
  • @justeddm
    Such cases attracted me to pc gaming, now I'm in love with matx compact cases 🙃.. don't mind seeing huge cases, I guess they are loved out there
  • @Arwyr
    Was thinking of picking this case when I upgrade my PC in the next month or so. This guide was really helpful for deciding if it was the case for me, and will also probably make installation a lot easier so many thanks for the very detailed guide!
  • @Philandora
    This video cleared /saved me so much trouble. It's just great. Thank you very much!
  • @jcvdvandd
    Really thorough video on this case. Many thanks.
  • @newlynsteve
    A top-tier build from a top-tier builder. I'm in two minds about the case; on the inside it feels practical and looks great, but that external design is not to my taste at all. So it goes. That AIO on the other hand (even at 450 GBP) looks like the kind of present you'ld love to receive - or give yourself if needed. Thanks again.

    Got my Evangelion case for $600. I shouldn't worship Eva like that.
  • @Sanosuke-Sagara
    Fantastic case with which I have to say very well. The only complaint is that there is a little too much plastic on the top and especially on the front part of the case which produces a little too much creaking during hot-cold transitions. For a case at this price level it is a bit annoying. I came from a Cooler Master COSMOS C700M which had a lot more plastic and where this problem was even more annoying and I had decided to change it for this reason. I'm a little disappointed I must say, but only in this aspect, otherwise an excellent case.
