Actually yes I do 😂 Thanks Dmitry!
After we finished the video, realized this may be an awesome option for parents who want to stop their kids from over-using the computer. Or, would make an awesome prank item.
It's a testament to how flaky wake-on-LAN support is that these things exist. :D I turn my PC on via my phone and WOL but if you enable hibernation in Windows or do a million other things it breaks, so I've thought about these things as well.
I was thinking it would be great if you had a NAS in a closet that you only tuned on when you were actively doing backups.
I don't need it because I never turn my PC off...
I actually rigged my own version of one of these up to one of my old systems. Was pretty cool.

You would need 4 of them to have them plugged into each other.
This is amazing!
I like how these genius & inexpensive parts can make your PC experience so much more convenient!
Great job! Nicely put together and I like how you address some of the important details, like how the PCI riser means you're covering your other PCI slots, or you want to remember clearance for where you position the adjustable fan. Thanks for posting this!
One of my favorite PC parts is a 300W Pico-PSU that accepts 12-24V input from a laptop adapter... I like doing mini-itx board builds with very SFF cases for small gaming PC's that can be moved / travelled with
I was looking today for that because im building a pc for my cabin and its off grid running on 12v battery bank (which voltage goes up to almost 15v when fully charged) but I couldn't find 300w only a 120w that accepts 12-24v voltage.
Where did you find it?

@@MrBerry1404 kmpt and hd-plex only support 16-24V, not 12V.
Protip. Cablemod vertical GPU bracket doesn't fit a Strix 1080ti in a Meshify C.
Protip #2 and 2.5 the riser cable is hard to plug in because the bracket moves the gpu 1.5 inches backwards.......nor does it come with an HDMI 90degree cable.
Protip #3, the EVGA Power Link won’t fit in a Meshify C with an EVGA FTW3 GPU and a full complement of front intake fans.
Coolermaster does one that is just flat on the PCIE so perhaps it would fit then?
I'm shocked the Cablemod Vertical GPU Bracket didn't fit the Strix 1080ti as it fit my Strix Vega 56 with plenty of room to spare.
@@5tyxx There are different kits you can buy that have a DP and HDMI.
3:15 pretty good idea for adding a custom panel screen inside the pc since those ports being on the inside will help power the display
the remote is perfect for a home theater!
yeah your right
i agree. More so if you want to have it like behind the TV or in a hard to get to but out of the way cabinet. Really for a home theater PC right now i would go with a x86 NAS and Raspberry Pi 2B or 3B controller board with that add-on for power on / power off. More expensive than that add-on would be but the NAS can be upgraded to have more storage. I think 180TB is the current max on most Prosumer NASes until you get into bigger than you should have due to drive fails hard drive sizes. That is enough room for a few 8k full length 4 hour long movies with all the extras too. So i would suggest 1080p so you could have like 200x the amount.
Awesome video! Did not know about some of these. Will be picking up one or two items.
Nice, which parts in particular?
-D.
when no one replies :'(
@@HardwareCanucks I think a really great item you should include in perhaps part 2 of Cool PC Components is:
A battery for desktop PCs (for that occasional power outage & naughty cats and babies pressing that power button)
@@aedufare6205 its called a UPS
@@aedufare6205 firstly it was never a cool component. It's just a power backup system/UPS. Secondly its pretty much necessary even if you have continuous power supply all the time
I'd say an UPS should be within the Top 5 on your list because it can save your ass sometimes.
Dmitry, I really like the niche you have carved out for yourself in this style of content. Having followed all the big techtubes for several years, there was a time when everyone was doing the same stuff. It's nice to see that you guys, GN, LMG, and Paul and Kyle, have all managed to find yourselves relevant niches and stay successful.

InWin Mars looks handy for directing air towards mobo VRM coolers on setups with an AIO cooler
Also probably good for test bench setups like the InWin X Frame.
Only if it didn't cost so damn much. Someone needs to make a cheaper knock off version of it since $60 is far too much for a single fan.
Yeah I've been pointing out that this could also be good for server computers in a 4U chassis where by the time the front fans push through the hard drive banks, there's not much left to cool down the chipset, which do need some tender loving cooling when you're rocking dual socket.
Freaking love that USB hub, with all the accessories never seems like, even on high end motherboards you get enough USB ports. I used it in my latest build.
I am working on building a PC into a PSX (these DESR-models) and some of this stuff is EXACTLY what I needed. Especially the internal hubs. Thanks for sharing these!
Why isn't that 24 pin 90 degree adapter a standard mount on motherboards?? It should be standard.
That would be a bad idea on many itx builds. I think a low profile 90 would be better.
I have the NZXT grid v3 fan controller. It gives me much more control over my fans compared to the motherboard control.
I still have the V2 myself. It's in my server now, but it's been passed through several of my gaming desktops. With CAM software, it's an awesome solution.
I use the Aquabus from Aquacomputer. The quality is unbelievable.
Thank you for the video. I found it very helpful. I love videos like this. I hope you make more content like this where you showcase obscure useful items. Keep up the good work and have a great day!
Cool parts. I'm most interested in the 360 fan and the magnetic dust filters, definitely useful items.
You can get unbranded 24pin right angle adapters for under $3
That probably isn't good and fkup your rig.
don't use unofficial things,use cables that come in oem,I have fried at least 3hdd's using cheap sata connectors!
@@dinozaurpickupline4221 me too... 2 hdd
@@zsus1 yes kind of regret it now,since I paired with cheap psu
dinozaur pickupline “Don’t use unofficial things, use cables that come in oem”
So you’re against Cablemod?
The InWin Mars would definitely be useful for cooling VRMs in a system with a CPU being cooled by an AIO.
3:00 aww yeah the NZXT hub! Had to buy one for my super water cooled build since I simply ran out of board header space. Some parts filled the 9-pins yet others simply couldn't reach cleanly around the case. Wooo!
Thank you. I didn't know some of these, and I am going to incorporate them into my next build.

*sees remote power on pc*
wake on lan: "am i joke to you?"
The EVGA powerlink is exactly what I need for my Evolv X case dual pc build, thanks!
It would be awesome to have an updated video, most of these I had never heard of before!
Love the wireless remote you say is "only $20", yet link to it on Amazon for $89!
Awesome lol
As someone who likes to buy random stuff all the time, I need videos like these 😂😂😂
Definitely gonna use that internal USB header even though I have an ATX build, I can always use more functionality and use it in tandem with the power/reset remote.
I use one of the NZXT interlan USB hubs in my current builds. They are fairly useful, even on high end motherboards like my ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero. With a single internal USB 2.0 header it can be tricky controlling things like Corsair case lighting while keeping the use of front panel connectors. Thanks for the headsup on the Thermaltake option. SATA power is definitely preferred.
Mars fan is good idea....Not the $60 though!
More of these videos please
Sweeeet I’ll be needing that wireless switch to turn on my heater when I get home (i9-9900K) :)
Great little heads up video m8, a lot of the populas would not of known about half this stuff, brilliant
This was a really cool segment. Thanks Dmitri.
Always the original content
I've been looking for 90 degree ATX and USB3 header adapters for several years, I've only seen them on chinese shops in very ugly blue and white colors. Never even bothered to look for a brand name version. Thanks for that!
People who for example put their computer on the wall or something like that out of reach would hugely benefit from the remote power/reset I imagine.
I'm already using the previous version of the NZXT internal hub that doesn't have a plastic housing.
Very good selection!
I figured that one out, since it was in the video. :P
I think I'm going to get that remote, never knew it existed til now. I'm just going to have to connect it to my desk with a key ring or something or else I'll end up losing it.
I think I'll get one too, although I'm concerned about the range. This was one of the last things remaining that kept me from banishing my computer from the room, so I can do whatever I want to do without background noise.
@@dominic.h.3363 For me I just have a weird setup where I keep the tower on top of a shelf in the corner to make space. Looks cool there, it's just that I almost have to stand on something to reach the power and reset button.
Sounds like someone has very long speaker cables and never uses any thumbdrives. But there are even wired soilutions. Just replace the power buttion with one on a longer cable. They don't need to be thicker than telephone wire. And I'd suggest getting a new case/fans/cooler on the way if the rig is that loud.
Tose 90° adapters also help getting the cables to the front quickly, most boards got them straight out, and those angled ones would be nice. Now we only need SATA plugs with rotation in every direction.
I'm so glad someone decided to review these I'm so glad.
That little NZXT usb header is the best thing on this list. So useful, and if you want to have a usb Bluetooth adapter and your mouse sensor it makes them all as if they are built into the system. Mad cool.
I made a little dongle which you connect to the motherboard header and you have power switch, reset switch and two HDD/PWR LEDs.
It's super small, dimensions around 15x10x13mm and if mass manufactured could cost $5 or less.
Perfect for test bench where MB doesn't have any switches, or just to test the parts outside the case before installation.
Dmitri, do you want few as a christmas gift? :p
Please I would love something like that
Can I have one coz I am planning to build in April next year
I'm pretty sure you could already start selling that on ebay pretty easily, there is a fee type of thing where you have to pay ebay like 5% of sales though.
Hi its Dmitri, yes I'll take some
I don't see myself going to the post office just to earn few pounds...
Just email them. Im sure they will respond. IMO you should sell them. I think many will buy it. And asked other tech YT channel i think may will appreciate it
Colored anodized thumbscrews
Depending on the case you can add a little color inside or outside, and they are very cheap.
Great upload~!
The wireless power button might be pretty sweet for a home theater PC.
Those dust filters might be a god send for small form factor.
I bought the NZXT hub after watching this video. Came in really handy since I needed the extra usb 2.0 headers for Corsair H110i and Hue+
where did you get that tall corsair MM300 coz the standard 300mm hight isnt enough for me
I changed my MM300 for an Asus Sheath and I love it
That thumbnail though 😍
Ikr ... Quite proud of it 🔥
Typical ocd graphic designer layout style these days
Dustfilters from Demciflex. Comes in different sizes and formats. And also there are "ready to go" packages for some pc cases as an upgrade option.
Silverstone's FP-55, is an awesome case addition. It converts a 5,25" bay into an external 3,5" bay (cardreader, fancontroller..) + 2 SSD-mounting points. and the black aluminum front looks super.
Love this video! My motherboard only has single USB2.0 internal and need many more for Lighting Node boxes, AIO connections, etc that still need internal USB 2.0 Thanks for the video!
Why am I watching this? I can't even afford a decent video card..
@Yusuf Jamal Every human being should be able to afford one video card, it should be on emenda constitution
But those parts are shinyyy!
I mean... I game on a laptop...
Same
even rx 580 is good and budget
The Mars fan was badass until the price.
Thanks for info! Like that PC remote thing.
I have 2 of those nzxt internal hub in my workstation (the old version, without the plastic cover) and there are SO USEFUL

Could be worse.
Great video. I appreciate the accessory options.
I used one of those NZXT internal usb hubs for my ATX build. My 'high-end' ASUS Crosshair VI Hero only had a single internal header and I wanted to use Corsair lighting while keeping my front panel connectors.
I don't get why Mainboard company's still didn't redesigned their Mainboards so that electricity connectors are actually at the back of the Mainboard I know it can't lay flat down than bug there is really no need to be flat on the back than the cases just have to have the right holes and bam no power connectors except for gpu at the front

CM 24-pin w/o Capacitor looks interesting. I just might get one for my new build. Thanks.

@Jason Poole yea we hust need a new cable standard for usb3 if my case had a angled usb3 though it wouldnt fit lmao
They cost £3 on eBay
Your spelling and grammar are awful.
And I guess there must be a reason for it, by why don't the try to design gpu's with the power connectors on the side?
Wow, I really need to read what I write before I post, I don't even know what I meant to say in the second half of that sentence.
Ayooooooooooooo thanks Demetri! I'm picking up that NZXT fan Hub for my 6 Liter build thanks to you
I've been looking for something like the Silverstone ES02 for years. Had no idea it existed and from a good manufacturer on top of that.
I love how he's making a video on PC components and then has a mac in the background.
I can't recommend that NZXT hub. Mine shorted out, power cable caught on fire and fried a USB port on a X370 MoBo. Very strange failure
Have mine for over a year now and all ports are used, not a single issue. You just got a bad one or it was caused by something else.
I've had issues with all my NZXT stuff, their quality control is non-existent. The only NZXT item I have left is a Hue+ in my sons computer, and it's getting swapped out next year when we do a system cleanup.
I am actually using it right now for over 3 month and it still works. But I heard some other people having same issue as you. So that's why I didn't use every port and only use it for LED accessories. I am pretty sure it's just badly built-up as other guy says, 'without fail safe'.
Had the same thing happen to mine, nzxt basicly said not my problem...
Arcane Scroll can I be your son? I'll take his place and we can play games together, all I need is that pc chief Kappa
These are all excellent misc accessories, I have run into problems where these would fix those, saving this video for later XD
One weird thing I've got is a 5.25 inch drive bay adapter which will take both a 3.5 inch drive and a low profile optical drive. Great for putting an ODD and a 3.5inch USB hub in the front of a case with only one 5.25 inch bay.
It took me forever to find and it works really well.

weird maybe but now I want all of them in my build, you just made build video content from accessories, brilliant
Nice stuff. The remote starter can be usefull when you're streaming from your gaming pc to your htcp because with wake on lan my pc starts whenever it's pinged by the router. The Phanteks RGB stuff probably needs an adapter cable to work with your motherboard header (or rewire them to match the pin layout). The inwin fan is a great idea but I personally can't do without RGB.
There's never enough case fan pins on motherboards 😡🤔
4:32 $60?!
😂😂😂
❌
Some people will actually buy it.
This could have a solution inside stuffy 4U home server chassis where there's no internal fans helping the chipset. I have a 120mm fan with those rubber screw replacement things that they put in AIOs to keep it elevated off the motherboard. Janky but it works and keeps the chipset managing the dual Xeons nice and cool.
you can buy 3 premium fans for that and have whole case ventilated properly 😮

Thank you! Never heard those weird components before~

Nice Video,
I've bought the Digital Halo LED Fan-Modules after I was hooked on the Lian-Li PC O-11 Dynamic that you reviewed and looked for RGB Fans to suit but unfortunately, my Mainboard doesn't support RGB (Too old) and thus, I opted for these Modules + White EK Vardar fans as preperation für Watercooling.
