Great job as always James - really interesting case and well explained video. You're not just a reviewer or builder, you're a bona fide expert. If that PSU was quieter this case would be dang near perfect
-
Like how you covered all the bases like the PSU noise. I was wondering, as its a key point for me. thanks james
-
Excellent review - again! It’s also the small details like mentioning the psu noise that make one feel that this is a job very well done.
-
absolutely brilliant Kitguru, covered so much in that video. top job james. love your content
-
I really like that bronze theme, looks really nice
-
One issue with this case is that the PSU is exhausting hot air into the radiator. I bought this case and with a small, flat aluminum plate was able to change the orientation of the PSU to exhaust out the back. Basically, I turned the PSU 90 degrees counterclockwise. It was an easy mod without touching the actual case. Made a huge difference. I also put the stock PSU info a different system and got a Corsair SFX 750 instead.
-
thank you for the detailed review james, i think this is a very appealing case for an upcoming second system for me, for my study. the shape and looks in bronze will work well. I just need to find the right motherboard.
-
Really great review James. Covered a ton of of angles there. 🤘🏻
-
great review james, wasnt expecting there to be an expanded mode!
-
Thanks for the review, I was looking for a mini itx case.
-
Neat case no doubt about it.
-
good review james, its certainly and interesting case by design and its a good shape for something different. kind reminds me of the corsair one in some ways, just taller.
-
Bought the case, built an all AMD gaming rig in it. Love the thing. Super easy!
-
7900 XTX would have no issues in that. nicely done JD
-
really good review James its an interesting case that, quite like the look of it, its unusual, like a monolith.
-
The CPU cooler would handle the AMD 7000 non-X variants with ease. And likely the 7800x3d as that's a surprisingly low power part as well. But the 120 AIO is really pushing it for anything else... Still I like this case alot.
-
Good review James 👍🏻
-
What a brilliant build!
-
Biggest issue with their MAX lineup is how the included cooler & PSU seems to come at a steep premium. Saving the labour of routing that stuff yourself is worth a price, I dunno about 'that' much though! Good deal if your build needs such an effective cooling setup though, but makes it basically pointless for midrange stuff at this price.
-
thats quite a nice idea, its fairly expensive and in theory you would be left with components you bought that might not last the distance - the PSU seems decent but shame its loud. did you measure it james? I know this is a difficult question but how loud is it? is the tone annoying ?
