After seeing this I still feel confident I made the right choice with the cooler master NR200P a few years ago. I use the case turned on its face(front) so that the motherboard io is pointing up for easy access. Love that the front panel is solid so I’m not giving up any cooling!!
I think there are several companies that make reversed blades that are swapable depending on weather you are going for exhaust or intake...I like the look of Corsair fans, but I wish they would do something like that also...
@@lacedchemist1295 patents would be my guess. sort of like how lian li is suing people for daisy chaining fans even though they didn't invent daisy chaining. /shrug
I prefer cables that are too long over ones that are short. It's easy to loose excess slack in the case, it's a pain to reroute to taoe a shorter route.
Agreed, but to a point. Trying to manage a USB 3.0 header cable that's TWICE AS LONG AS HUMANLY NEEDED in a ITX case or some mATX cases is a nightmare. Looking at you, Lian-Li 011 Air Mini. I swear, they must have used the same header cable from the largest 011 case.
$200? For that? Non-removable mesh? In so-many-ways no. No fricken way, Corsair. While there's no way I'd buy that case, I will applause the fan-grills. For these kind of cases they truly make sense.
I'm excited too! I have never been to a Mirco Center before, but i'm going to make the drive when it opens...I live in Greenville, NC so it's still a bit of a drive, but I will make a day trip just to check it out!
The problem with this case is that it was originally designed inverted from what is shown. The PSU was at the bottom and the mainboard was at the top. That design worked well except for a subset of graphics cards that had heat pipes. Since they were being used in pretty much the opposite of the expected orientation they didn't work right, so Corsair had to do a last-minute re-design to flip it. That's why you have the issue with the power cord being run up the back on the outside of the case, the motherboard IO ports being in a stupid location pointing down, etc. I was excited for this a few months ago when it launched but after I discovered it was basically a salvaged design I lost interest.
0:27 I'd actually be VERY interested in seeing a brand making a case with this volume but horizontal, like a very compact ASUS AP201 or a bigger Meshroom D/NR200P.
We need MC all over the world...In Denmark the best we get is power or Elgiganten, places that are more interested in selling kitchen applicanes or phones...They BARELY have any wider laptop selection, no PC desktops usually or any parts...
I have this case! taking out the front fans makes it so much easier during building and placing them back at the end is easy. Also I pulled the fan controller from the top and mounted it on the bottom that way the aio fan cables can go in and allow you to tip the 360 grill on the mount easily in and out and keeps access optimal if needed. I agree thats it is a shame you cant run the power supply extension through the case. Ow and lats but not least it fits a rx 7900 xtx perfectly.
Cool video, but it was a bit confusing. In one sentence he complains about the terrible cable management options and the amount of effort needed for that and in the next sentence he praises it as one of the best small form factor cases he ever build in.
If you have any influence with Micro Center ask them to build a store in Phoenix AZ. We used to have Fry's electronics, but they screwed up and started focusing on stuff other than electronics and ended up folding. Their old locations are still vacant and Micro Center could just move right in.
OH gods us too, right? They drove local stores like Computer Stop (and the other one, I forget what it was called) out of business in Seattle, then spun around immediately into being trash and closing down. I'm actually jealous of places with a Micro Center now.
Seriously!! We have no good computer stores in the Phoenix area at all. Yet Phoenix is considered the Mecca for data centers due to our cheap energy costs and low probability of natural disasters. Plus, there's a ton of manufacturing that happens here - Intel, Honeywell, Boeing, ON Semi, NXP Semiconductors, and pretty soon, even TSMC will have a fab here. That means there are a LOT of geeks here and we have nowhere to shop locally!
just down the road from me and i was waiting for the opening, i didnt have to buy anything but it was nice seeing the gpu prices so low since i was last looking at them
In UK we had "PC World", now gone, company called Currys took it over and now they have f all pc stuff.. it would be heaven to walk around a pc component shop like microcenter in uk😂
My local Currys is way better than the PC World it replaced. PC World stocked mostly overpriced junk and like 60% of the shop-space was designated for printers.
Totally different but the 680x maybe an older-ish case now but I’ve built four PC’s in them and they are the best case, no frustration or shortcomings. Just a great case and can be had for less than $200 in sales.
I wish MicroCenter had a form for requesting their next location. Would help gauge the market in the area and potentially get stores in areas they might not have considered.
You think it'd be possible to put a 360mm watercooled 4090 in the thing and have enough room for a moderate cooler for a 7800x3d? SERIOUSLY debating this case, but the footage really didn't help [in fairness, I'm skipping around a lot]
Look up other videos for the case. This build video doesn't do it justice. It can fit a 3-slot card up to 360mm length and even Air coolers up to 165mm (when not using the side fan bracket). There are also tons of cable mounts, unlike what was said in the video. This one and the Hardware Canucks video are the worst videos about this case.
Ha, I still have the Corsair 380T case, used it for my VR PC for ages until I wanted to put a 2070 TI into it and it didn't fit... Was actually awesome at the time since I moved my PC around a lot back then.
Patent issues aside, I’d love to see more companies copy thermaltakes swappable fan blades design so that you can have it pretty side out whether it’s intake or exhaust
I'm deciding between the higher gaming performance 7800x3d or the better general performance of the 7950x3d, which I should be able to fix the core issue that decreases it's performance
I have always wondered why anyone would bother with the hassle of such a small build, this video just reinforces that thought. I mean, I get space constraints and preference, but I just couldnt see myself trying to fit a handful of turkeys into a toilet paper roll.
What happened with the 7900xtx??? is Asus's Tuff one bigger than others!? I've watched other videos putting a 7900xtx into this case. One I remember for sure is the Power Color Hellbound 7900xtx
Adam is killing it , he’s started to get comfortable with the camera and now his confidence is building which is exactly what we are looking for in a host💪
it happens :) every time i go in the STL one theres at least one person wearing LMG merch. Especially when it gets cooler and people start wearing jackets and hoodies.
Oh holy cow I didn't realize it was you guys there! Seriously was like oh hey some influencers are here that's kinda cools. INDIANA IS SO FING HAPPY MICROCENTER HAS GRACED OUR CORNFIELD OF A STATE WITH IT'S MAJESTY!!!
Hey micro center, can you fill the hole that frys left in Wilsonville oregon? We promise to buy product, it was a great store till they had doomed themselves with bad management
I've been trying to build a mini ITX AMD system... But every case I go to can't fit a 7900xtx, this might be it... But ITX mobos are hard to find, but AMD ones??? 😅
Sounds like my experience doing builds in Corsair cases... They look great, function fine, but they're really lagging behind other manufacturers in terms of "build features"
Hey man, don't use the PSU as an exhaust in general, it's components need that separate cooling and fresh air, it's a really bad idea to force the extra heat through those components. Especially when you have high-end components that generate a lot of heat, this case here (and AMD). It's a really worst case scenario, when you don't really have other option, that small fan of the SFX PSU wasn't designed to do this, expecially for 1000W PSU, if you get anywhere close to that, you will have a bad time. Long gone are the days when you had to mount the PSU in the top of the case, even then, if you used a tower CPU cooler, it will be pointed towards the back of the case, and the PSU just had to handle a relatively small amount of heat from the CPU cooler radiator that tends to go up, because of physics.
Thanks Adam/crew and Micro Center for the PC!
The man that was there at the right time wearing the right gear. lol
king of "right place right time"
how convenient ........
@@Enzo187 haha. i knew they were going to be there. i just didn't expect to get picked.
good stuff
They told me to chose ANY card and that any 3 slot card would fit :/ Great to meet you guys! Thanks for coming out!
Sorry guy I was looking forward to the all AMD build too, 4070 kinda took the wind out...
Not too bad but 7900 XT would have been better :/
He looks more excited to shake Adam's hand than to win the PC 😂
to be fair he is wearing shortcircuit hoody🤣
Well, he did just watch that thing get built. I probably secretly hoping he never has to open it up.
After seeing this I still feel confident I made the right choice with the cooler master NR200P a few years ago. I use the case turned on its face(front) so that the motherboard io is pointing up for easy access. Love that the front panel is solid so I’m not giving up any cooling!!
if Corsair wanted to sell a lot of new fans immediately, Exhaust fans where the guard is on the other side would be a money idea.
I think there are several companies that make reversed blades that are swapable depending on weather you are going for exhaust or intake...I like the look of Corsair fans, but I wish they would do something like that also...
I always wondered why they don't do that. Also wondered if the direction actually made a difference.
Bit pricey but Thermaltake makes the Swafan that you can swap fan blades on to choose the direction of each one.
@@lacedchemist1295 It can make a huge difference, it just depends on the rest of your setup...
@@lacedchemist1295 patents would be my guess. sort of like how lian li is suing people for daisy chaining fans even though they didn't invent daisy chaining. /shrug
Adam seriously walks like a NPC in a game (at 0:15) - and I love him for it lmao.
YAS Charlotte! I cannot wait! I have yet gone to a MicroCenter just because they are so far from me! 1.5 hours is so much closer!
I prefer cables that are too long over ones that are short. It's easy to loose excess slack in the case, it's a pain to reroute to taoe a shorter route.

Sacrilege to not put a 360mm AIO in this when it's the only ITX case that can accommodate one lol
$200? For that? Non-removable mesh? In so-many-ways no. No fricken way, Corsair. While there's no way I'd buy that case, I will applause the fan-grills. For these kind of cases they truly make sense.
It was super weird to hear, the non RGB version of this costs like 90 -100 euro here in the Netherlands which seems like a much fairer price
Yeah I got the non-RGB for $80 on Amazon, at that point I couldn’t say no, it was one of my cheapest options.
I cant wait for the NC store to be built soon as I get the cash I will do a similar build the 2000D is just too dang tempting to get. :)
I'm excited too! I have never been to a Mirco Center before, but i'm going to make the drive when it opens...I live in Greenville, NC so it's still a bit of a drive, but I will make a day trip just to check it out!

Need more microcenters in California. One in San Diego and one in the Bay Area would be perfect
We need some microcenters to migrate north, Washington State has almost nothing for proper tech stores.
We need MC all over the world...In Denmark the best we get is power or Elgiganten, places that are more interested in selling kitchen applicanes or phones...They BARELY have any wider laptop selection, no PC desktops usually or any parts...

Wich model of 7900xtx does it fit? Not the asus tuf in the video...isn't it ?
You say 320 when you mean 360 (3 × 120) when referring to the radiator/AIO support. Just figured it's nice to let you know.
Was going to comment the same thing
Cool video, but it was a bit confusing. In one sentence he complains about the terrible cable management options and the amount of effort needed for that and in the next sentence he praises it as one of the best small form factor cases he ever build in.
Jeez imagine a guy just turning around and giving you a sick PC, wow
I love that MicroCenter is now in Indy, I hate that they didn't buy the old Fry's Electronics building. That would have been cool.
If you have any influence with Micro Center ask them to build a store in Phoenix AZ. We used to have Fry's electronics, but they screwed up and started focusing on stuff other than electronics and ended up folding. Their old locations are still vacant and Micro Center could just move right in.
They would absolutely kill it here. This city would eat it up.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Congrats
can we please get some whide adam memes going? The start of that video was perfect.
Imagine downgrading to 4070.
If I won a pc then watched this video I’d be mildly annoyed especially coming from a 3080 😂😂
They make power cables that have the 90° bend going the other way. And PSU’s use standardized AC cables.
I’ve never been to or seen a place like Micro Centre, place of dreams 😍
I'm an air cooled fan.
Takes less room
System doesn't immediate overheat like when a pump fails
Air flow over the vrms
That man was ONE LUCKY BAS***D to win that PC at the end. 😂
just down the road from me and i was waiting for the opening, i didnt have to buy anything but it was nice seeing the gpu prices so low since i was last looking at them
3:18 he meant 360 mm radiator everyone who's wondering what a 320mm rad is
In UK we had "PC World", now gone, company called Currys took it over and now they have f all pc stuff.. it would be heaven to walk around a pc component shop like microcenter in uk😂
"Where in the world, PC World"
My local Currys is way better than the PC World it replaced. PC World stocked mostly overpriced junk and like 60% of the shop-space was designated for printers.

Corsair makes an "ITX" case... while missing the point of ITX.
NZXT did this as well.
Note to self, wear LMG merch next time I go to Microcenter. Just in case!

I build this case on the daily, plenty of space to cable manage, pretty simple case to build in actually
Man, I wish I’d have known you were going to be at the Indy store. It’s an awesome MicroCenter. Sometimes I just go to walk around.
Can't wait for their Miami store to open. They'll be a lot closer than the closest GA store.
You built this waterblock and I gave it away! Monoblock 2000$
As a Canadian in Alberta 600km north of the US border I very much dislike not having a micro center. I'm cold...help.
Ha, I still have the Corsair 380T case, used it for my VR PC for ages until I wanted to put a 2070 TI into it and it didn't fit... Was actually awesome at the time since I moved my PC around a lot back then.
I hope they build a microcenter in Ocala because oh boy howdy am I ready for a PC :D cmon Microcenter please! There are a lot of people out there lol
Patent issues aside, I’d love to see more companies copy thermaltakes swappable fan blades design so that you can have it pretty side out whether it’s intake or exhaust
Aye I’m from Charlotte! So excited for the new Micro Center coming here!
9:40 MAYBE Corsair or another fan Co. will design the FAN RGB to be standard on the "Stick" in the way.
Wow, that's a good reason to visit Indianapolis.
(A Micro Center store isn't available here in Hawaii.)
I'm deciding between the higher gaming performance 7800x3d or the better general performance of the 7950x3d, which I should be able to fix the core issue that decreases it's performance
Microcenter, please build a store in Pittsburgh. I would do anything. Literally.
I have always wondered why anyone would bother with the hassle of such a small build, this video just reinforces that thought. I mean, I get space constraints and preference, but I just couldnt see myself trying to fit a handful of turkeys into a toilet paper roll.
I love how we could literally fit 4 of these 2000D cases inside the 1000D, they really need a new naming convention.
We desperately need a Microcenter in New Hampshire.
ya
I was thinking the 4070
but because of the Connection
and the Power Consumption
Really liked this style of video!
Cant wait for MIAMI NEXT YEAR!!!!
Where is secret shopper ep.2 i can't wait
I wish that happened over here in the UK. It'd be so much fun to find the worst tech to put into this.
5:29 that guy looks like he'd suggest an iPod classic with a terabyte of flash storage or something rather than an ssd.
Better than auctioning of a pre production sample unit so progress
that seems like a massive itx case and non removeable mesh?
What happened with the 7900xtx??? is Asus's Tuff one bigger than others!? I've watched other videos putting a 7900xtx into this case. One I remember for sure is the Power Color Hellbound 7900xtx
Sometimes the brands make the cards bigger than other brands

He's natural
This feels like adult size Linus 😂

3:15 He means 360 right?
3:33 The 2000D Page I'm looking at also says "Maximum CPU Cooler Height 165mm"
Damn sad I missed you guys while you were here
Need to wait in a microcenter with a LTT merch xD
it happens :) every time i go in the STL one theres at least one person wearing LMG merch. Especially when it gets cooler and people start wearing jackets and hoodies.
@@kenzieduckmoo Ima be of one them imagine getting a 2000$ pc for wearing their merch xD thats a feature and a bet
just like that prototype heatsink
For the price and the build limitations, this is a pretty low-mediocre ITX case...

Adam, I'd like to know what your best building experience is, building a small form factor case... This honestly looks like a hassle.

why is the new micro centre's parking floor has so many crack n refill?
Those are some short-shorts and long socks! :)
Any Idea if they are planning to open Store in Canada?
You could do a pull through exhaust on the cpu rad and the psu choice was verge level bad.
Recommended a 4070 damn. Guess price or performance isn't their issue.

ShortCircuit literally has left the algorithm i feel...
This felt enough like it was playing at 1.25x that I checked.😂😂😂
Hardline cabling sounds like the trend enthusiasts never knew they needed
Petition to have microcenter take over BestBuy
does corsair make magnetic levitating psu's? yet..
Soo, another micro center commercial. Cool
2:39 So fan grills change their name, if installed on the inside?
So when they open the Charlotte store, I'm gonna be there and you guys better pop down.
A new Micro Center in Indianapolis
got a bunch of spare parts including a 9900k thinking about building a spare pc this might be the move
