    Girl, your nail girl should get an award. They always so perfect. Super jealous
  • @paulking4908
    This video is the best build review of this case that I have seen.
  • @WendellSexson
    I like the idea to install the MB before the front, back, top, bottom panels are attached because I have very large hands and it can be tough to work in compact ATX cases for me.
  • @laszlosarkozi1385
    Great Video and nice case! Also, the audio quality and volume of your voice in this video is much better than most other you tube chanels and I mean some of the biggest tech tubers. This is a really important factor if one watches your videos on their cellphone or laptop - as I do.
  • @aelaan12
    What a nice concept, kudos to Cooler master for re-inventing the PC. I like that color very much. I wonder if they will release pink as well (supporting the cancer research). Thanks for the vid!!
  • @Kizarat
    Wow this is an incredible case!
  • @GUN69_
    Bumped into your channel due to the review of RTX4070ti from Asus which you did. I subscribed to your channel and periodically still watch it for the reviews of the stuff I don't need 😅In a way, I found voice calming. You are doing a really good job with these reviews - professional, to the point. Keep doing what you do!
  • As an avid ITX PC builder of many years now, I’m used to unscrewing cases to fit components in so a case like this isn’t a concern for me 😇👍. I think in more ….. student environment like kids pc, uni dorm etc, this case would sit well in a young persons apartment / studio.  The AIO did well imo, considering it’s trying to cool a 13th Gen i9 cpu ✊🥰💪….. although tbh, in gaming the i9 isn’t too bad in terms of temps …… and if you’re buying an K-sku cpu, thrn your probably going to tweak / undervolt the settings reducing temps further.

    So excited to see that Atmos water cooler, i hope it will be available in my country soon.
  • @Dukitek
    Ikea case, exactly what i thought about it when i first saw it. Lego/ikea cases ftw. Great video Nada.
  • @outlet6989
    Hi Nada. Nice to see you again and watching your informative videos. When building a new PC, one of my grandchildren always visits me. I know that in the assembly instructions, I'll see the phrase, "So simple, a child could assemble it." Building it as a test bench makes a lot of sense. An excellent review would show the advantages of a test bench and the available ones. I use one, and it's the best PC purchase I have made.
  • @antonuis2547
    I'm super jealous i love the color off youre case. I've the cube 300l v2
  • @swaggod226
    New sub. Tech is my world 💪🏾🔥
  • @Little_Mysha
    I like the modular building system and it is something new. When I get the chance I would to build it for somebody, but personally it is a bit to tiny for my sense of taste. Looks fitting for juveniles!
  • I remember a case that had this feature back when I was a kid in the 90's. I forget which one though.
  • @ivovass195
    Build it yourself case are very interesting as building is fun for me and thus looks like a great option, even better when you dont need to bend pannels like some competitors. Thanks for sharing with us
  • @TazzSmk
    it's refreshing to see front-mounted-PSU cases nowadays, years back I got Fractal's Node 304 and it's still the perfect layout ITX case, in a similar way PSU is put in front of the motherboard along the gpu :)
