This thing is incredible. As someone who has refused to spend anything more than $90 on open-box deals at Microcenter, I bought this Jade for $190 and it was totally worth it. Build quality is almost perfect, with some imperfections in the metal work but you can't really notice it too much. This is an incredible case!
I had to laugh because everyone complains about the access to the thumb screws for the GPU and nobody reads the manual. They tell you in the manual to remove the GPU bracket, install the GPU to the bracket and reinstall in the case. If you do it that way you have full access to the thumb screws. I have had my Terra since launch and am really happy with it. I have 10mm between the cooler fan and side panel and I am not getting any turbulence. I also don't see any separation between the wood and the case.
@@MachinesMore , mine has the same bowing issue. It came in like yours. I went through a few returns of the case before this one. Those didn't have this issue but had other flaws. Specifically, they had frame alignment issues. The center spine did not align perfectly across all 4 holes for a given mark value. At this point, I don't think i will return this one, so I'm just trying to not think much about the gap in the wood lol.
Sorry, I skipped through the whole video because I'm waiting for the Ncore Max from mastercooler :D So... I'm still looking at different cases but I definitely want an "all in one" case with cables prerouted, ITX, that can fit on a desk vertically (for min footprint) with rear facing IO (unlike ssupd and other cases of the same kind). Heh. It's a comment for the algorithm I guess because it's like completely out of topic :D Thanks again for the highest editing quality, audio quality and overall structure of your videos, they are amongst the best out there.
Really well written and informative review. Really liked your play with words and the soundtrack! Also, very informative. Don't you think it's paradoxic that a highly technological product plays with natural aesthetics?
such a strange thing they didn't manage to leave some space for fans on top, also this thing with amplified noise with closed panels is just stupid lol. otherwise cool looking case for midrange builds!
I bought this case about 2 months ago and since then... it has been sitting in my wardrobe because I literally have no idea what to build inside of it. I think I'll either sell it or build a low tdp retro PC inside. However after this long sitting in my wardrobe it actually developed a very similiar gap where the wood panel is mounted.
Hey, thanks for the video! I'll be building my first setup on this case, one thing I did not entirely get it was the type of GPU card you recommend to better temperatures, would the 'NVIDIA RTX 4070 Founders Edition' be put on that recommended list of cards?
On mine I sit between mid-high 40s idle and 60s while gaming with 7800x3D using the deepcool an600 (curve optimizer set to -10 on eco mode). Still plenty of room for my 6900xt as well which means it will also fit the new 7000 series reference cards. Blazing fast and quiet. Beautiful case in the Jade!
How many slots is your gpu? And what setting do you have the case set too. Trying to plan a build out with a 2.5 slot gpu and just want to make sure I’m picking the right slot.
How is the noise? This is the only thing I am afraid of with this case. There are some reviews that say that the way the side panels are cut makes noise very frustrating, despite the decibels.

Thanks! Absolutely enjoyed your thorough review of this case.

my favorite itx reviewer reviewing a case i’m considering buying. Perfect
Awesome written review, very informative. You are the best when it comes to ITX cases. Thourough!☺
The wood issue may be specific to your case. Mine is a few months old now and the gap is perfect and unchanged, no warping on mine yet
Awesome, thanks for chiming in. Wood is kind of like that. Not every piece is the same even if you treat it the same!

You should consider the name of the channel as “SFX and more” ☺️. Love your channel

The paradox is part of the appeal
green good colour, silver such beauty.
for me i just love The Black one, so yeah i just bought the Black Version and im loving it

Jade is such a good colour! I just bought one for myself

this guys deserves more subs
I would really like to see you review the Sama IM01 / do a build in it. It's so close in size to the NR200.
This is a pretty recent video. Where did you get your hands on a big shuriken 3 rev b? It’s no where to be found anywhere
Nice pronunciation of Göteborg :)

why would you have your cpu at eco mode? the 7800x3d already sips power anyway so it typically easy to cool. or did you meant to say PBO?
hoping you review an iqunix zx-1 one of these days
The temps in the sandwich cases are too freaking hot
Dude, I have the same t-shirt!
Nice case, only issue is its a little too big and very heavy for its size
L12S doesn't have the sound issue
L12s on 7800x3d in the Terra?
For primary gaming use, should be fine.
Love this aesthetic for cases, just need some more room in there!
Where is M1 Evo?
Coming!
Waiting for this bald guy doing fractal terra. Nice
FIRST LOL
