Jay, I've been a subscriber for a couple years now. You got me into overclocking, you got me into water cooling, and I'm so glad you're here. I love your enthusiasm, I love that you're an educator, and I can't WAIT to see what you've got planned. Thanks for being you.
overkill for an HTPC. You don't need space for a high end GPU in a plain old HTPC. way better HTPC cases out there. For something like a living room gaming pc (steambox), this is awesome tho. Very few options out there.
Why not what? Why you don't need a gaming GPU in a HTPC? Because it stands for Home Theater PC. It's meant to watch Movies and stuff. For that you will want something like Kodi or Plex which can be easily controlled by a remote. And then you can't really play games on it anyway, even if you had a powerful enough GPU in it. So HTPC in the traditional sense, definitely no use for a powerful GPU.
Just a side note. Asrock has a x299 itx with a full cover waterblock. Silverstone also has 800+ watt 80+ titanium sfx L power supplies. Jay I hope you wont dissapoint us when you said MAXIMUM OVERKILL.
So I just wanted to thank you for all the stuff that I've learned from you. Recently my PC was destroyed by an accidental house flood, which means I've no longer been able to create any new content. I've decided to go forward with putting together my own very first build. I know some basic stuff, but I didn't even know where to start in order to build the best pc that I can in relation to my budget (to get the most bang for my buck). Thanks to many of your videos I've learned so much and am much more confident in putting together my first build. Thanks for what you do, and keep up the great work. Cheers, Tarnaseus
You wouldn't need to expand it for a compact air cooled case. But to put enough radiators in there to cool a CPU and a GPU you really need the space, simply can't be done otherwise. And even at double the size it will still be a really compact water cooled case.
TigerXtrm don’t need to cool the guy just the cpu with the x62, curve the fan speeds up for lower temps instead of higher like normal and sync the outer fans to do the same so it pulls the gpu air out at the same rate, you may also take a side panel and cut diagonal slots with an angle grinder and sand it off to look nice and increase air flow
The watercooling is a bit of an overkill considering the case is actually designed with decent air flow from all the vents. The only issue is it doesn't have filters like Fractal Design does.
Really looking forward to seeing the full build + benchmarks and thermals. Such a simple and elegant design. Love the additional 'Tophat' for more cooling/radiator support. Definately a contender for me next build.
Keep doing what you’re doing man, really enjoying your channel again. It’s great to see the metric system pervading the US tech space; really nice for the rest of the world.
Hang on a second... does the full modularity mean you can stack two motherboard/CPU/GPU combos into one "tower" (two cases), so you essentially have two PCs (e.g. Someone wants to play a game on their main PC and have a stream box encode/upload it) - I get that would mean the top of once case would be exhausting heat into the other depending on fan arrangement, but I think that could be pretty neat
do push on the top and push on the bottom, then the air goes out by the middle vents. The center might be a bit warm if it's next to ya, but no heat contamination from one system to another
I was thinking the same, maybe they will make a tophat that is for fans you could put in the middle of the two systems for venting one, sweet looking tower, two nice PCs.
Swedish mini-case! Check Sweclockers.com for more info on it! LOQUE Sweden are actually making modifications to the chassi like lowering the PCIe mount and shortening the goods at the top (the part you pointed out to dremel) and using a lower internal power plug. There will be three sizes of expansion sleves and they all stack. You can use as many as you want on the top or on the bottom. Really liked your in-vid commercial! Go for more of that stuff Jay!
Thank you Jay haha. Saw SO many people today doing these small builds with Open Air GPU's and was just sitting there pondering! Then I saw you start to put a full size Open Air GPU in there and was like "NOOO Jay, not you too!"... then I saw you talk about a blower style card. Thank God.
I'm building myself a new rig right now, Jay. Your videos have taught me so much about all of this. I'll be liquid cooling for the first time in my life. Just like Eran said, love the passion and knowledge you have.
How so? Repurposed a salvaged (free) ivy bridge laptop i7 onto a mini-itx desktop board, paired it with 8gb of ram (single dimm mobo), and eventually got my gtx 970 on it (which only cost me $100) and it runs everything high/ultra 1080p no problem, uses very little power (epecially the CPU), and is nice and portable as well as unassuming as my htpc that can game.
You seem to not be aware of what this is capable of. It will last plenty for 1080p. Maybe end up turning things from ultra to high, or from high to mix of high/med. But it's my secondary unit and serves it purpose incredibly well. Main rig is 3770k at 4.6ghz with a 980ti and 16gb ram...
dude that's lit I have i7 2670qm paired with a rx 580 8gb 8 gigs of ram I can play anything at 1080p high/ultra above 60 fps but how did you fit your cpu onto a desktop mobo?
Patrick, You have other problems if you're having performance issues with a 970 (at 1080p), a 1070, and a 1080. A 980ti does beautifully at 1440p, I have one set up on my brother's computer with a 96hz Korean 1440p monitor and a Xeon e5-1650 6 core at 4ghz and it's always above 60 fps up to the 96fps cap when vsync'd
Thx Ducky Duck I found a compatible mitx motherboard on eBay, came from Israel of all places. Cost me $75 at the time too. Portwell Wade 8321-LU mobo. They are still on eBay.
As a French Canadian it made me smile too : in French it's "aluminium", but it shouldn't be in "proper" English since there's no "i" ;-P Danny Nicolai Larsen, no I don't say potassum, sodum, magnesum, calcum, and strontum, because those words don't exist in English, they all have an "i" (as a Francophone it feels weird to say those things to an anglo - including the OP - lmao).
I bought one of these baby and it was a joy to build in and noctua has a cpu cooler that they designed for this case that works wonders. Along with costume length cable, it is by far my favourite computer I have ever owned.
This looks an amazing small form case, I’ve been stuck for 6 years with a “all in one” pc, due to space limitations, can’t wait to see a real build, the ideal answer for a PC user that’s not hot any space to put a tower. Keep up the great work u do.
As a person who rocked a Cooler Master HAF X for close over 7 years, i got myself a new rig with a Fractal Design Meshify C Mini, and god, i love it! So light and easy to carry!
Love the showcase. This is the kind of stuff we need more of. Too often I never hear about cool tech startups until after they're started up. Shame that it costs roughly $250 for such a simple case. The Cooler Master Elite 130 is only $40. Sure, it is 50mm bigger in every dimension, but it allows for an ATX PSU and a 13.5 inch GPU. 1/2 the size for 6x the price.
Wonder how effective two small tophats would be with slim fans doing push pull? With two tempered glass side panels, it would be a rectangular wind tunnel.
Clickbait title was so worth it! Love this case and video! Way too often I watch a video and find myself spamming the skip feature on my phone, but never from Jay!
The Sweclockers video said that Loque (I think they said it's pronounced "Loki" but not sure) are planning on shaving a little bit off the case where the kingpin hit it to be able to fit the bigger graphics cards. And it's been said that the Noctua L12 is one of the better coolers for it if you are going aircooled. Not the new S version, which is higher, but the older L12.
Loke, not Loki. Locke was also used in some old texts... This name Loki that everyone seem to want to use is not a swedish one, and this case is a swedish product.
Very cool case. I've been thinking about building a mini itx build since i won an EVGA hadron hydro a while back. This case looks so much easier to build in than the hydro. Can't wait to see what you build
cant wait until the custom watercooled video comes out. I wanna see if a240g that you covered would fit inside here (i guess you would need to route the pump outside).
DigitalNow I'm not talking about money here. If you remove the top hat. Yes it's as big as a console. And if it's a bit bigger I don't care. At least I can run 60fps. (Sorry for the mistakes. "It's" was auto corrected)
PS4: 12.0 x 10.8 x 2.09 = 270.8 cubic inch PS4 Slim: 11.3 x 10.4 x 1.54 = 180.9 cubic inch PS4 Pro: 12.9 x 11.6 x 2.17 = 324.7 cubic inch Xbox One: 13.1 x 10.8 x 3.10 = 438.5 cubic inch Xbox One S: 11.6 x 9.00 x 2.50 = 261.0 cubic inch Ghost S1: 7.40 x 5.50 x 12.6 = 512.8 cubic inch
DigitalNow I prefer the small difference in size and get 10x the performance. 70 cubic inch is a very small difference. 70 cubic inch is a size of tennis ball
DigitalNow still prefer mouse and keyboard anyday, everyday. And you can run any game at 60 fps. Why I'm even saying 60. 60 is nothing get a 120hz monitor and experience the real performance.
DigitalNow I didn't say 4k. Using mouse and keyboard on a console is trash and costs more. Plus people will hate you because you have an advantage. Games don't break after 30fps who the fuck came up with this shit. I run all my games 90+ fps
as soon as you took this out i loved it! nice Scandinavian design man, simple and beautiful. funnily enough after being obsessed with sff cases, i thought of almost the exact design myself, other than the top hat thing, and ive been waiting for someone to make it and make it look good too so i can finally go sff. it defo needs dust filters over the vents tho man
You can customize it to what you need. Don't need any top hats? Don't use them. Need a big one for water cooling? Use it. Need a smaller one for more fans? Use it. The point is to cater to as many people as possible.
@@BobBobson You're entirely correct, but it does come across as odd that he seems to want to take a great small form factor case and turn it into a mid tower. If that's what you want, then go buy a mid tower.
Because getting lots of performance into small form factor isn't cheap. You can probably cram a smaller drive in there somewhere, but odds are if you are making a PC using this you aren't going to be using it for gaming/will have a box set up with a bunch of HDDs and just run all your shit off of that. It doesn't help that they appear to be making these in Sweden.
Woah, this is actually a solid case! Hopefully Loque has some good luck in the market! I'd totally buy it for my next build given the radiator support!
Very interesting case to build with, as you mentioned, very modular! I like the thought of that and would like to see this company come on the market with their product!
That is such a sick case! Going to have to check these guys out as i am looking to build an ultra portable LAN computer and this is right up my alley. Great video as always, Jay! :D
why would you put your shoes back in a shoebox, if you bought them? that's like buying a phone, but when ever you are not using it, you power it off, makes no sense
i want to see this build completed! also i recomend to set the fans to pull configuration at the same side they are. its better for the rad to be cooled with fresh air. also the total temperature that it creates it will be so small that the other components inside the case will be not affected.there is no need to put another two fans to achieve push-pull config. the only thing you need there is dust filters!!! ;)
Wow, this case would fit perfectly on a nice glass hi-fi rack, next to a decent AV receiver, acting as the media server keystone in a brilliant home entertainment system. Water cooled for silence, it's perfect! If you wanted to go air-cooled, Noctua make a lovely low-profile unit in the NH-L9x65. I'd love to build in a case like this one day. But, just by the noise alone when you slid the side on, it doesn't sound cheap!
Really nice. The center spine/mount is brilliant. I have no idea why more cases arent like this or some degree of modular. I have a Hadron Air and upgrades/repairs are a constant fight for cooling/space/access. Seems like fan selection would be another key on this one for noise if not cooling. If I were in the market, I'd consider it.
Greate that you will build this (very ) small factor , I would be personally affraid to do this , as you said every thing extra small ! Good luck , looking forward to your project, for sure it will be very exiting. ..
This looks great, really small case with watercooling support, would love to see a custom waterloop in it. The hardest part is building in small spaces. Make it fully modular and problem solved....
Jay, I've been a subscriber for a couple years now. You got me into overclocking, you got me into water cooling, and I'm so glad you're here. I love your enthusiasm, I love that you're an educator, and I can't WAIT to see what you've got planned. Thanks for being you.
Thanks Dad
Eran Karanouh-Schuler 2080ti in the post.
I thought you got excited on an external GPU enclosure.
Brian same

That is a slick looking small form factor case. I'd like that for an HTPC set up.
overkill for an HTPC. You don't need space for a high end GPU in a plain old HTPC. way better HTPC cases out there.
For something like a living room gaming pc (steambox), this is awesome tho. Very few options out there.
Max Mustermann why not?
Why not what? Why you don't need a gaming GPU in a HTPC? Because it stands for Home Theater PC. It's meant to watch Movies and stuff. For that you will want something like Kodi or Plex which can be easily controlled by a remote. And then you can't really play games on it anyway, even if you had a powerful enough GPU in it.
So HTPC in the traditional sense, definitely no use for a powerful GPU.
Yeah but it can be a htpc and a living room gaming rig.
Smaller than the sub in the living room, why wouldn't you make it capable of gaming??
As a swedish person, I can say that the name doesn't make any sense to me. I have no clue how to pronounce it
then you are not really swedish, nor have you seen any of the very popular "thor" movies..
Indeed, as Sue hints, the name can be read as one character from Nordic mythology, but maybe they tried to keep it low key. :)
Oh, I didn't even think of that. For the most part I avoid movies, especially superhero movies.
And I am Swedish, however we never hear about the Nordic/Swdish mythology in school, at least not anymore.
Loki
Jay, take the challenge and try to build custom loop in that case. I would really enjoy video like that.
Be careful with the spine, if you damage it you'll paralyze your PC.
A Troll 🌚
eheuehueheueheueheueueuheueheu
Damaged spines shouldn't hold you back.
yes you have sfx power supply, its silverstone 450w from white ft03 mini build
that moment when the fans have better knowledge of jay's inventory than jay
He has a million fans and only one jay to remember his inventory though
He sees it all day tho, we saw it once
Just a side note. Asrock has a x299 itx with a full cover waterblock. Silverstone also has 800+ watt 80+ titanium sfx L power supplies. Jay I hope you wont dissapoint us when you said MAXIMUM OVERKILL.
Jay you definetly need to consider this configuration
So I just wanted to thank you for all the stuff that I've learned from you. Recently my PC was destroyed by an accidental house flood, which means I've no longer been able to create any new content. I've decided to go forward with putting together my own very first build. I know some basic stuff, but I didn't even know where to start in order to build the best pc that I can in relation to my budget (to get the most bang for my buck).

I dig it. I like how they're kind of working with you to understand what a builder actually needs.
Beatiful Camerawork time and time again
Real cool case. Don't think I would go small for my first build tho😀😁😂😉
sorry but dimitri is still the camera god. but jay your camera work is still really good great too
I just wish it was in 60 fps.
IMB2U give this man a cookie
Jay: Look at this awesome tiny case! It's so small!
Also Jay: I'm gonna add to extra compartments to double it's size
You wouldn't need to expand it for a compact air cooled case. But to put enough radiators in there to cool a CPU and a GPU you really need the space, simply can't be done otherwise. And even at double the size it will still be a really compact water cooled case.

My HTPC is inside an old NES console. Now THAT is SSFF.
You should wire in an NES mini inside as well, for the lulz.
I have an optical drive in it as well... not enough room left even for the NES mini.
Me and a friend are building a system inside of an old xbox(original xbox)
thought about doing that to my lan rig that's under my 4k tv
But can you game in it? 😂
Really looking forward to seeing the full build + benchmarks and thermals. Such a simple and elegant design. Love the additional 'Tophat' for more cooling/radiator support. Definately a contender for me next build.

Hang on a second... does the full modularity mean you can stack two motherboard/CPU/GPU combos into one "tower" (two cases), so you essentially have two PCs (e.g. Someone wants to play a game on their main PC and have a stream box encode/upload it) - I get that would mean the top of once case would be exhausting heat into the other depending on fan arrangement, but I think that could be pretty neat
Yes, there has been discussion about it on the SFF forums.

Yep. Kind of misses out on the really small form factor though.

This is gonna put my i7-3610qm + GTX 970 in a CM Elite 130 mini-rig to shame! But so awesome!
How so? Repurposed a salvaged (free) ivy bridge laptop i7 onto a mini-itx desktop board, paired it with 8gb of ram (single dimm mobo), and eventually got my gtx 970 on it (which only cost me $100) and it runs everything high/ultra 1080p no problem, uses very little power (epecially the CPU), and is nice and portable as well as unassuming as my htpc that can game.

Thank you SO much for saying aluminium as well as aluminum. As a Brit, it made me smile
You mean, the second "i" that is in the name, being skipped by savages. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium
Mp57navy “Aluminium or aluminum” Literally the first 3 words in the article.
As a French Canadian it made me smile too : in French it's "aluminium", but it shouldn't be in "proper" English since there's no "i" ;-P
Danny Nicolai Larsen, no I don't say potassum, sodum, magnesum, calcum, and strontum, because those words don't exist in English, they all have an "i" (as a Francophone it feels weird to say those things to an anglo - including the OP - lmao).
why link a page that says it was originally named aluminum? did you even read it? lol
Aluminium is the true and proper way...
I want to see tempered glass panels as an option for this. Damn that would look SICK.
I bought one of these baby and it was a joy to build in and noctua has a cpu cooler that they designed for this case that works wonders. Along with costume length cable, it is by far my favourite computer I have ever owned.
Thank you for all the videos posted on this channel. They helped me build a PC at 66% of market value on Black Friday. It performs excellent. Cheers!!
Pleeeeaaaseee do a custom water loop on that thing soon. So different and awesome. Love it!!
I want that in my living room...yesterday.
You left the I/O shield 😂.
This looks an amazing small form case, I’ve been stuck for 6 years with a “all in one” pc, due to space limitations, can’t wait to see a real build, the ideal answer for a PC user that’s not hot any space to put a tower. Keep up the great work u do.
Do you live in a closet? lol.
5 years later and I miss that studio background great vid Jay
"ask me how I know', subtle, I almost missed it. Funny.
X299 system in it with that asrock board
JayzTwoCents spam
LOL
Asrock X299 ITX board with the Bitspower Monoblock
and a split loop with GPU 240mm rad at the top and CPU 240mm at the bottom
Asrock X299-ITX+BitsPower Monoblock+EVGA Kingpin Watercooled+4x16GB DDR4 3000+2x960 Pro SSD+Noctua fans+Silverstone SX800-LTI PSU... etc :D
Low key thought this was an eGPU case lol
Everyone did
As a person who rocked a Cooler Master HAF X for close over 7 years, i got myself a new rig with a Fractal Design Meshify C Mini, and god, i love it! So light and easy to carry!
Love the showcase. This is the kind of stuff we need more of. Too often I never hear about cool tech startups until after they're started up.
Shame that it costs roughly $250 for such a simple case. The Cooler Master Elite 130 is only $40. Sure, it is 50mm bigger in every dimension, but it allows for an ATX PSU and a 13.5 inch GPU.
1/2 the size for 6x the price.
Watercool x299 chip on a AsRock x299E-ITX motherboard and top Pascal GPU in this little boy.
Podwojniak why have all those pcie lanes with no ability to use them and worse performance than a 8700k?
Yep. Because balls to the walls.
Podwojniak nah. A Vega 64.
1080ti is much better then a vega64
Ted Curry actually, the mini itx x299 asrock board has 3 m.2 slots and Quad channel memory support, so you could take advantage of X299 features.
Could you custom water cool this?
WolfyMcMarmalade he says he's going to so probably yes lol
3:35 + 13:21
WolfyMcMarmalade ya I want to see that
Yup, thin rads, thin fans, Swiftech Apogee Drive II, 2ez.
Actually wow, don't even need thin rads/fans!
It will be nice to have mesh for the plates in a push pull configuration with 2 top/bottom hats :)
they are planning that if you check their kickstarter page in description
Wonder how effective two small tophats would be with slim fans doing push pull? With two tempered glass side panels, it would be a rectangular wind tunnel.
Clickbait title was so worth it! Love this case and video! Way too often I watch a video and find myself spamming the skip feature on my phone, but never from Jay!
Thanks for giving small companies making small cases some love.
You are the oldest youngest looking man I’ve ever seen
Lol😂
Is it smaller than the dan case a4 sfx ???
Tarek Sh Nope. Its height is more
Tarek Sh
1 l bigger but:
Fit 66mm cpu coolers (only 48mm in the dan)
Has a better build quality
Can go watercooled if you buy a top hat
Can fit 3 ssd
I'd love to be able to fit at least at noctua air cooler...
Mp57navy Ncase supports most of em. Still It'll be good to check compatibility
Mp57navy
You can fit an l12
The Sweclockers video said that Loque (I think they said it's pronounced "Loki" but not sure) are planning on shaving a little bit off the case where the kingpin hit it to be able to fit the bigger graphics cards.
And it's been said that the Noctua L12 is one of the better coolers for it if you are going aircooled. Not the new S version, which is higher, but the older L12.
That actually makes sense why they are called Loque (Loki Norse mythology)
Those coolers are mad expensive now
Loke, not Loki. Locke was also used in some old texts...
This name Loki that everyone seem to want to use is not a swedish one, and this case is a swedish product.
Obviously "Low-Key"
Very cool case. I've been thinking about building a mini itx build since i won an EVGA hadron hydro a while back. This case looks so much easier to build in than the hydro. Can't wait to see what you build
cant wait until the custom watercooled video comes out. I wanna see if a240g that you covered would fit inside here (i guess you would need to route the pump outside).
this case looks perfect for a super tiny little server
Console killer at it's finest
DigitalNow I'm not talking about money here. If you remove the top hat. Yes it's as big as a console. And if it's a bit bigger I don't care. At least I can run 60fps. (Sorry for the mistakes. "It's" was auto corrected)
PS4: 12.0 x 10.8 x 2.09 = 270.8 cubic inch
PS4 Slim: 11.3 x 10.4 x 1.54 = 180.9 cubic inch
PS4 Pro: 12.9 x 11.6 x 2.17 = 324.7 cubic inch
Xbox One: 13.1 x 10.8 x 3.10 = 438.5 cubic inch
Xbox One S: 11.6 x 9.00 x 2.50 = 261.0 cubic inch
Ghost S1: 7.40 x 5.50 x 12.6 = 512.8 cubic inch
DigitalNow I prefer the small difference in size and get 10x the performance.
70 cubic inch is a very small difference. 70 cubic inch is a size of tennis ball

Is it "low key"?
yes in swedish it's pronounced like the character "loki"
What?? I mean, maybe i dont know what ´´LOW KEY´´ mean :)
I have to say that is one nice case Jay. Hopefully you commit to show us a full complete badass build in the coming weeks.
This is one of the best small form factor cases I've seen! I hope this goes into production, I really want one!
visje66
You need to go to kickstarter and you wilm get obe in april
Hey DAN A4-SFX has been out for a while and no comments on that?
Was the first thing I thought when I saw this.
As an owner of a Dan case, I love how it looks. It's extremely minimalist and is very well built.
cant fit watercooling in it though
redback209 you can fit asetek AIO
kenny sughiarto
Which struggle to cool down anything above 65 tdp
Oh god an unboxing. Will he drop it?
lol linus dropped the new razer blade on stage
Wrong channel :D
Said Farisi I mean Jay dropped threadripper.
Yes he will.
That's Linus. J2C has a much better track record.
I think Jay just DDOSed the kickstater page with this video... can't connect... :)
_no._
This looks excelent! Small and compact. And it can hold a hidden power!
This excited me in dirty ways and I'm not ashamed. This case looks amazing! The lack of dust covers is my only qualm.
Console killer at it's finest Bleke
you right
agreed
Don't let logic get in the way of a good circle jerk my man
Except the case alone is $200
Well I'm annoyed, I've been drawing up and designing a case of my own very similar to this lol
read more eh this has been a thing for like 7 months
I legit tapped read more great name
Haha winner...
I'd never seen or heard of this case before now.
JayzTwoCents I’m so confused
Sup Kids that isn't him
I want one.
but it's too expensive for me 😢
as soon as you took this out i loved it! nice Scandinavian design man, simple and beautiful. funnily enough after being obsessed with sff cases, i thought of almost the exact design myself, other than the top hat thing, and ive been waiting for someone to make it and make it look good too so i can finally go sff.
it defo needs dust filters over the vents tho man
The build quality looks good, really good idea for a modular case, can't wait for it to be released to the world.
Why buy a so small case if you plan to expand it whit more top hats?
Because you can’t just cut the bottom quarter of a full tower and expect it to function normally.
because these swedes love their team fortress
So it can be as small or tall as you need it to be.
You can customize it to what you need. Don't need any top hats? Don't use them. Need a big one for water cooling? Use it. Need a smaller one for more fans? Use it. The point is to cater to as many people as possible.
@@BobBobson You're entirely correct, but it does come across as odd that he seems to want to take a great small form factor case and turn it into a mid tower. If that's what you want, then go buy a mid tower.
Jay you said smaller is sometimes better.. Can you prove this please? :D
Oh wow. Researched this yesterday. Also no 3.5 inch drive so that sucks.
You can actuall add a 3.5 inch drive under the PSU if you stick to a SFF one.
Tony Ko umm expensive m.2 is. Lol. No.
This case is expensive.
callanrockslol yeah. So why is more money?
Because getting lots of performance into small form factor isn't cheap.
You can probably cram a smaller drive in there somewhere, but odds are if you are making a PC using this you aren't going to be using it for gaming/will have a box set up with a bunch of HDDs and just run all your shit off of that.
It doesn't help that they appear to be making these in Sweden.
Woah, this is actually a solid case! Hopefully Loque has some good luck in the market! I'd totally buy it for my next build given the radiator support!
Im actually pretty excited for this build, cant wait jay!
Let me guess *$200* ?
Can you review the Skyreach S4 mini?
Lol covered this before Linus
Very interesting case to build with, as you mentioned, very modular! I like the thought of that and would like to see this company come on the market with their product!
That is such a sick case! Going to have to check these guys out as i am looking to build an ultra portable LAN computer and this is right up my alley. Great video as always, Jay! :D
At this size, why not just use a shoebox?
also because shoebox isn't made of aluminium and doesn't have mounting points predrilled for you
But where would you put your shoes?
why would you put your shoes back in a shoebox, if you bought them? that's like buying a phone, but when ever you are not using it, you power it off, makes no sense
Where is the watercooled build fam ???
Waiting since this video was released
The feet should be at least an inch high IMO.
Should come with different feet. I hope to see an option for higher feets when the case is out.
Modular feet seems like an idea that meshes well with their design. They should add that.
i want to see this build completed! also i recomend to set the fans to pull configuration at the same side they are. its better for the rad to be cooled with fresh air. also the total temperature that it creates it will be so small that the other components inside the case will be not affected.there is no need to put another two fans to achieve push-pull config. the only thing you need there is dust filters!!! ;)
WOW that is a freaken AWSOME case; I hope they get fully funded and are able to make them! I would be up for buying one!
Overpriced pieces of aluminum. They want 240 euros for it
but is a sexy 240 euros
But tis a fully modular, heavily ventilated 240 euros ($273.14 USD about). Thing is gorgeous
Do you need a case lol you can have it open lol why easier to add a new slap on
It’s probably pronounced “low key”
Louqe doesn't exist in the Swedish vocabulary so it's probobly a random word they made up that would sound cool, you probobly pronounced it right
My suspicion it refers to Loke/Loki, you know who Im talking about.
guess the name comes from "low key"
most likely a mixture of both.. simply naming it loke in this day and age, what with marvel's monopoly within the movie industry.. meh..
Think its french actually.....
@@miou-miou- You know Loki is from norse mythology, Not marvel right?
Wow, super cool. Gonna have to look into this for my next build!
This case is awesome! Cant wait for the watercooling video with it.
That's bad ass
Hi
Notification SQUAD, WHERE YOU AT?
will be interesting to see temps on the components and how the case works as a living room htpc/gaming pc
Awesome I can’t wait to see your final build in that thing!!
Turn on the caption an see the firs 2 second
$0.02 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Holy shit did an American just pronounce aluminium correctly? Christ I think I need a cold drink...
PirateAndy education has come a long way ;)
Nope! He messed it up the second time. And it’s spelled “aluminum.”
You do realize that English isn't the same everywhere, right?
Did you forgot to mount the motherboard iron guard thingy *classic*
He said hes not mounting it in the video, but you had to skip through
it's called an I/O shield you uncultured swine.
Ryan McEntire that's how we normies call it.
Freaking democrats 😂
I'd pay extra for a cast iron IO shield..
It would be nice to have a see through option for the side panels, like acrylic that could easily be milled for ventilation as well
Wow, this case would fit perfectly on a nice glass hi-fi rack, next to a decent AV receiver, acting as the media server keystone in a brilliant home entertainment system. Water cooled for silence, it's perfect! If you wanted to go air-cooled, Noctua make a lovely low-profile unit in the NH-L9x65.
I'd love to build in a case like this one day. But, just by the noise alone when you slid the side on, it doesn't sound cheap!
Yea I really like this case! Great version of a small form factor case and I love the modularity!
Really nice. The center spine/mount is brilliant. I have no idea why more cases arent like this or some degree of modular. I have a Hadron Air and upgrades/repairs are a constant fight for cooling/space/access. Seems like fan selection would be another key on this one for noise if not cooling. If I were in the market, I'd consider it.
Greate that you will build this (very ) small factor , I would be personally affraid to do this , as you said every thing extra small !
Good luck , looking forward to your project, for sure it will be very exiting. ..
This looks great, really small case with watercooling support, would love to see a custom waterloop in it. The hardest part is building in small spaces. Make it fully modular and problem solved....
Hey Jay, the lid of your ifixit toolkit is designed to be a tray for your screws.
Definitely gonna be lookin out for your build video for this case, looks interesting!
I'm so excited to see a full build in this!! Now I want to upgrade my PC..
Every time he takes off a side panel it sounds like a sword and i love it
Jay looked genuinely interested in it. This means this thing is good.
i really like this new case! would be a great way to finally enter the mini itx case and put a small powerful build on your desk :D
