With some orange highlights you could have a cool Gulf Motorsport theme.
hey thats pretty cool thinking ! I like that !
Lovely like my tag watch
These colours are beautiful. We need more. Racing greens. Lamborghini yellows !
Like the 🤔 Maybe a Ferrari red too
Oh wow, I really do love this. I wish more companies offered case colour options, instead of black, white, or grey.
Agree 💯
Love that scheme. Love the Timelapse. ❤
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.
Those magnetic connectors are such a good idea as well as the swappble fan blades. They really have put a lot of thought into their design
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.
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!
Great build James. ❤❤
Thanks 🙏
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
James amazing build man. Watched this twice now. Love that psu too !
Wow spectacular. Like a satin finish
Getting nice and settled in for the James build that I'm about to witness.
Nice clean build,the blue looks good.
Glad you like it
James bravo man. Bravo 😮
Thanks
Another cool video 👌
Thanks nice build.
That is absolutely stunning 😍 I'd say all the city fans are loving that! 😅 mabey do a football series?? 😂
There are so many fans!
The way you mounted that graphics card looks so cool.
That's a good looking build.
Thanks !
very nice build
I'm glad you like it
The looks 😍😍😍
Thanks !
I really love that AIO.
Love that color!
It’s different ! Buying the case ?
@@KitGuruTech it's on my short list!
Nice case
Interesting colour scheme me thinks this may be a future classic.
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
Would be possible ! We don’t own this gpu and it has to go back !
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.
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.
Love the weather report on the AIO screen showing Rotherham. Guessing by James's accent thats where hes from in the world.
England actually but close (well not really) 😀
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.
Yes that’s a tough one to argue 👍🏻
good one 👍🏻
Thanks ✌️
good one
Thanks
When I saw thermaltake announcing this stuff I thought, MEH. but what a great looking build. Changed my mind James.
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
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.
Interesting to see the deep cool Morpheus in comparison with the thermaltake
That SUROA mobo is sweet!
Glad you enjoyed the build !
Looks like the case would allow u to mount fans to the back cover as well
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
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.
Very great, very beautiful, just one thing I didn't see the bag from the back, which became from above
Sorry I’m not sure I understand your point.
I mean io shield
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
Blue isn't normally my colour but I have to admit that when it's all put together it looks good.
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.
If this case had a traditional orientation it would be much more interesting
Wow.

It’s a fucking gorgeous PC.
Thanks !
Bought the Tower 300 in hydrange blue but really struggling to find the rest of the kit in that colour. Where can we buy it?
Does this case fit a Noctua NH--D15 cooler?
Nice, but I thought the pump should always be lower than the radiator?
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.
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.
@@KitGuruTech Excellent, thank you.
Does the case have a rubber grommet where the cables exit ? that might be risky over time
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.
Why did they mount the cpu rad with the pipes down
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
We got it direct from the company. We will send an email for you to them and see if it’s available there
Do Thermaltake make an AIO water cooler for GPUs too?
No but they make custom loop gear.
Can we buy that build ? Need to get you working for Pcspecialist James 😂
Really nice case this but sort of disappointing that you cant have removable media anymore.
Would love to see that thing under load maybe playing Cyberpunk or RT modded RDR2.
Surprised you guys didnt de-lid that CPU given the success in cooling you had in one of your previous vids.
It looks great. I'm not really a fan of the basic looking 25 on all of the components though.
I hope you can peel it off and it’s not laminated. 😮
Sadly you can’t really just pull the stickers off.
Yikes, that USB cable on the CPU/pump block. What where TT thinking? It should as a minimum been a 90 degree plug 🙈
90degree and in white or blue color.
I thought the same when installing it.
I love the hardware, can you pick those awful white 25 stickers off the components ok? they arent laminated on or anything are they James?
They're not stickers so they can't be simply peeled off.
wouldn't it be better to have the radiator as exhaust?
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.
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.
Imagine a guy owning this and he has it under his desk. What a crime!
Who knows what some people have under their desk
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.
Its just the stickers that are not 100% perfectly central. 😊
Shame zotac didnt give you a BLUE GPU ! would be awesome. Guess if you painted it and handed it back they wouldn't be too happy lol
Zotac dont do a blue one but of course you could always paint the fan shroud and backplate if you want.
@@KitGuruTech Thermaltake should work with a company and do some hydragea partner parts
Do Thermaltake know that hydrangeas come in more than one colour?
I definitely want to check the weather outside on my CPU Cooler 🤣
I want BTC price and Forex stock exchange.
you could always carry the pc outside with you and check the weather.
who doesnt ! 🤪
The "25" shoudl has been a fancy badge...not som cheapass print!
from what I heard, this AIO position is not good for AIO
Why dont they just call it light blue?
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!
You don’t like the blue colour then ?
@@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.
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.
Thanks Steve !
11 fans 🤣
Why are all of the expansion card covers black... white interior, blue exterior... then BLACK expansion covers... (smh)
That was why I removed the whole thing from the case, black is a strange choice.
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.
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?
You know when you've been consuming too much soy when you choose to build a hydrangea colored PC.
Cpu radiator is upside down. Tubes above the pump not below.
If you are referring to the GN video this is the correct orientation.
I'm curious to hear what difference that would make in this situation?
@@KitGuruTech over time the fluid evaporates and introduces air bubbles into the system. when positioned the way you have it will cause pump cavitation and pump failure. Gamers nexus has a video explaining this.
@purefun65 do you mean this GN video that said tubes up is bad?
ruclips.net/video/BbGomv195sk/видео.htmlsi=L1xT1xYW85yDdiHt
You got it mixed up. Steve said tubes up was bad.
naah. Looks like a Fischer Price toy.
its fisher. and no, it doesnt
@@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252 lol - to each their own.
@@KenOtwell you stick to the hand built bikes, we will stick with the pc building bud 😅
@@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp Naa. I like my own hand builts, thankyouverymuch.
$200+ and not a rubber grommet or cooling fan to be seen anywhere
should have gone to specsavers
@@amdforlife5591 He means if you buy the case on its own. Its just a mentality thing now. People dont like to sound positive about anything cause its cool. like this 20 minute build video which ended up great looking, so instead of saying 'great job james' its just a dig at the case not coming with fans or rubber grommets. I can certainly see quite a few fans in this build....
@@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp Apologies, I meant that out of the box the case is lacking in what should have been included with a price that high.
@@gravef1ghteryou made a good point mind you. They should look into those before it was released.
another lian li clone
Not this comment again. It’s like a copy and paste into every video featuring a case
its hardly a lian li clone.
It's dual chamber like an O11D but it's not quite a clone as the motherboard orientation is rotated and there are three rear fan mounts and several graphics card mounting options so there are noticeable differences.
Lol blue rgb doesn't make it a blue build
no but all the hydrangea components they used do. Heres a hint, click the video and watch it.
The build uses the hydrangea Thermaltake range of components. Hydrangea is a fancy word for ‘blue’. Your welcome.
😂
You win the prize for the most idiotic comment on RUclips today, well done my little trooper. It takes a special kind of mind to be this dumb.
This guy wins my comment of the day. absolutely brilliant
Interesting colour scheme me thinks this may be a future classic.
