Good review and some great camera work as well. A lot of your camera angles really helped me out planning my build in this case. So much room in the PSU basement using a SFX power supply. I love it!
Building one in British Racing Green for the wife for christmas. But its going to be mostly a fake terrarium. Her computer needs are minimal so I just got a 3200G and a lower end Itx b550 board. She doesn't game or do anything intensive beyond watching youtube or opening up the occasional spreadsheet. A low profile cooler is all it needs, so the vast majority of the space is open for decoration.
Great it fits the cooler,i have the same one,what about an atx motherboard ? Aorus b550 elite and an radeon rx 7900 xtx from powercolor (red devil) and a full size powes supply? 😮
I have this case and was wondering if adding an small inlet fan at the very bottom in front of the psu would help with turning the passive air flow? I heard it taken down by another channel but I love the look so much.
@@A2KMedia I honestly don't know, other than a few reviews that cited pretty ok temps I just noticed other cases I've had had active inlet fans. I also didn't put together that the mini-itx with that cooler which I also have, would just overtake the view of the motherboard
You said the back fan has to be removed to install two SSDs on the back, but the fan is attached to the removable panel, not the case, or did you mean that the fan doesn't fit anymore with the SSDs installed?
that's right - you need to remove the back fan to fit 2x 3.5 inch drives or it will not close. You may be able to squeeze 2.5 inch drive there but it will defeat the purpose of the fan as it will completely block it :)
@@A2KMedia good to know, thank you, I was planning to install two 2.5 SSDs on the side and two more on the back to make a RAID 5 configuration, but now I think I will attach just two on the side.
3rd video I have watched on this nice looking casing. I might watch a dozen or more to realize, you have to take the top mesh off to connect the keyboard, mouse and all accessories, and leave it open while you are using this PC ? Or use everything bluetooth :(
@@A2KMedia Thanks. I just noticed. Once connected, you could put the mesh back on. None of the videos mentioned, nor showed this bit in particular WIFI antenna should have no hinderance being laid down.
for a ll you rgb freaks a 120 aio is more than good enough and 140 fan and rgb ram is good enough for this case and a single or double fan on a gpu is good enough especially if your mb also has rgb
I've been wanting to get this to replace the Tower 900 I had. But I've been hearing that with a 3080 or 3090 GPU, the performance is terrible since it cannot vent properly considering the card is too close to the glass panel. I don't want to have the panels off....bummer! Great video, though!
All I had to do was undervolt my RTX 3080 but stay almost the same rated clock, as soon as I did that temp went down almost 15c during gaming which is around 70c max. This case is not much difference than any other case out there for example, if you set your gpu side on the bottom is just same as your traditional case aka same layout.
It depends how power hungry the CPU you intend to put in there. anything mid range like i5 or R5 I agree but with large heatsink its reasonable to put 12-16 core CPU in there and have it mostly silent
@@A2KMedia No argument there. I just think a case like this where the whole point is to show off your parts shouldn't be hidden by a giant air cooler so I would go mid range on a build using this case. Hopefully they can revise it in the future for better airflow to bring down the temps. Great video :)
If there was room for a 240 radiator and maybe another fan or 2 I’d like this case a lot. There’s plenty of unused real estate in this case, frankly it’s unusable because you can’t fill it with GPU nor the cpu cooler, unless you do like what you did and use a behemoth air cooler and that’s just lame to me. Behemoth air coolers are usually made by funky brands, and putting a funky brand as your center piece of the build is corny to me. The GPU or the AIO has to be the star of the build, and this case forces you to use an air cooler and then in turn forces that air cooler to be the star of your build.
What a terrible looking build. The whole point of having a three-sided glass case is to have nice aesthetics inside, and you basically blocked out the entire case with that hideous black air cooler, that doesn't even have an ARGB fan to boot........
The rear back fan is a exhaust config from the factory, not intake.
oh snap, you are right - thanks for flagging this.
which is better intake or exhaust?
@@mousqy stock settings - exhaust.
@@mousqy I had mine set to exhaust with an 140mm fan.
I wonder if it would make a difference to put it as intake, since it would be splashing cold air directly to the rear of the CPU.
im in love with this little glass case.
I feel yeah , i bought the nzxt h210i just before this came out . 😭
@@lalu613 Nzxt h210i ist still great 👍

This is the best review of this case on RUclips. Good job!

Does your front glass panel rattles? Mine does when I'm typing on my desk.
Can you install a 140mm Radiator on top instead of a 120? if not, Why?
Great looking case and good review!
It really is and thank you 🙂
I might get this one and put vinyl over the glass.
If the io shield is upwards and the top is closed where do we connect display , keyboard ethernet,,,,,etc???
Theire is a pretty big gap between ip shield and top plate. You connect there and then route cables back
2:20...correction....rear fan is exhaust....look at the blades.
How do you connect hdmi cable, mouse and keyboard ?
its all at the top, there is a little gap up there for connections and cable management
Do you notice the front glass rattling? Mine rattles when I'm typing hard
not noticed that while we did testing
@@A2KMedia I fixed it by sticking a very thin silicone on both the upper corners of case.
Great it fits the cooler,i have the same one,what about an atx motherboard ?
Aorus b550 elite and an radeon rx 7900 xtx from powercolor (red devil) and a full size powes supply? 😮
no ATX, the Tower 200 could fit most micro ATX, but no ATX, you would have to go to a bigger case like the Tower 500
Is there access for motherboard ports..like speekers ports..usb ect?
Yep, there is plenty of space for them above, and then you route cables back and out
@@A2KMedia WWould you be kind to post a photo.I would like to see how thet looks...coz I would like to bay that case?
Sorry don't have one. But I am sure thrtr are photos online for it. It has a void inside at the top of maybe 5cm or so.

hey, I think it would help - but do you really need it?

big cooler is normally better. test it for a bit and see how you get on. I find this case has good thermals without any additions.

hey, no you would not need to leave it open. there is a big gap between there and cables are routed to the back.
@@A2KMedia

Is the CPU cooler pushing on the ram? 😥😥
haha guilty :) would recommend getting different ram or different cooler.
@@A2KMedia no problem, I am sure not all MB or Ram combination have the same problem!
that is also true, with ITX and large cooler there is certainly some limitations though.
Damn, looks like that cooler is pushing against the ram....
With this cooler, really need to get low profile ram.
at 2:08 it looks almost like the heatsink doesn't actually fit great, like it's nudging against the ram.
It was certainly tight there, I would probably recommend smaller heatsink if using this motherboard and ram combo
for a ll you rgb freaks a 120 aio is more than good enough and 140 fan and rgb ram is good enough for this case and a single or double fan on a gpu is good enough especially if your mb also has rgb
and airflow and thermals are perfect

It looks like it is smaller than dark rock pro 4 so should fit, thanks :)

I think an AIO CPU Cooler is the way to go that giant heat sync ruins the aesthetic.
It depends how power hungry the CPU you intend to put in there. anything mid range like i5 or R5 I agree but with large heatsink its reasonable to put 12-16 core CPU in there and have it mostly silent

I saw some people do a custom water-cooling build in it which seems pretty cool
Also look at the memory in 2:08. Looks like it's butting up against the memory

Damn. My card is 336mm in length. 6mm too long!!!
I wish they would build cases, to where you can hide the ugly video card.
you could do a full water loop in here :)
What a terrible looking build. The whole point of having a three-sided glass case is to have nice aesthetics inside, and you basically blocked out the entire case with that hideous black air cooler, that doesn't even have an ARGB fan to boot........
That build would look beautiful without the ugly clunky video card.
