Great review. I am seriously considering this case and it is nice to see someone with some knowledge and common sense do a build in one. Also thank you for using the Phanteks Glacier, current gen motherboards are so bad at AIO compatibility and it is nice to see what actually works.
Thanks so much! The Glacier without the pump cover has saved me many times with these SFF builds. I reckon they should make a cheaper version without the cover for SFF stuff.
The only itx lga1700 motherboard I can think of that has good cooler compatibility are asus b660i msi unify z690i and aorus b660 (only 1 m2). Asrock ones too and a couple board in Asia that is not available elsewhere
I think I love this format of your videos with all the prompts you put in. Makes it easy to follow your review even better. I’ve noticed the little but great touches you put into the videos to improve overall cinematic review of your tech products! Great work. I love it!
Much thanks Gear Seekers for showing this one off. Now it's down between this and the Lian Li Q58. While I would go the NR200, I just wished they brought out a DIY Max version of the NR200 with top AIO support.
This is the last piece to a build I've been waiting for over a year to complete, as my 3080 Strix just arrived. Ordered one, hopefully it arrives soon!
Love these cases. My last NR200P was first SSF I've done and was super easy. This seems even better designed. An RGB strip along top side and down side will give a nice glow out of the holes. Subtle and smooth. Can't wait to build in this.
I love the simplicity, but the blandness looks a bit to Apple for me. It'd be amazing to see a glass panel on this, put some RGB element in there and WOW the whole room looks good.
Damn I love these itx cases! Lian Li has really been killing it lately. And love this collab w/ Dancase as they have been one of the OGs in this space. Edit: ended up preordering this too!
i am unbelievably excited for this thing, ive been in love with my dan a4 for years and i have been dying for something that combined the looks of the dan with the radiator space of the sidearm t1/ghost s1.
@@GearSeekers I am writing notes on this! Need to lose my beer belly from the pandamonium also need to to hop back on my board !! Thanks for the motive fams !!
2 questions: First, do you think the modest size advantage of the H20 is worth losing out on the supposed greater ease of building of the NR200? And secondly, since this video is 2 years old, can you maybe recommend an even better mini-itx case in that is really small, but still good overall?
Solid case! Gimme a snow edition and id be more than happy to buy it! A touch of RGB wouldnt hurt, ya know, like a thin line to outline the front I/O or something. Overall, a damn fine case!
Do you do request? Would you be interested in building a Lian Li DK-05? I see a few on RUclips, but not many and most never finish the build, they just stop and never pick back up again. I'm personally building one right now and I have to admit it's a cross between being both easy and hard as hell at the same time. also very expensive as well, but also very satisfying because I definitely love a challenge. I'm getting close to finishing it, I've got one side done and pecking away at the other. Anyway I think it would make some awesome content. I love watching your show, it's very inspiring. Thanks
Your videos are always the best IMO compared to other peps. I like yours because you provide information and I still get to see the building process and admire the work committed to building this. I'm really stuck on which case to get at this point. I have SO much research my head is going to explode. The only reason why I want to avoid this case just SLIGHTLY is I wanted to avoid PCIE riser completely. Just haven't decided yet. Once again, awesome video. Currently thinking about a SUGO16 odd choice but as long as any case fits in the backpack. I can game at my part time job. Thus why I gotta have a SFF case to fit in a backpack. :)
Nice video mate! Well done. I am in need of an ITX case since my H1’s liquid cooler broke and the V2 that just came out is $400! This looks like it might be a good option.
I sent in the whole H1 to them for repair/replacement and they sent me JUST the cooler back! Now I’m fighting with customer service to get another H1. I’m over NZXT!
This is a wonderful looking case. I wonder if they will consider making one just a little bit taller to fit a mATX motherboard. Having a Vive VR headset with the wireless adapter I need 2 PCIe slots, 1 fo the wireless adapter and another for the GPU.
Looking like this will be replacing my Silverstone SG13 soon. Being able to cool with a 240mm AIO and still keep the same super small volume? Yes please.
Hey just a tip. I had the same issue building in some cases with cheaper riser cables. They've never failed me, yet the quality on the ROG Strix riser cable is worth it. Very heavy duty and super flexible. Been running a 3090 on one for a year now.
I haven't watched your vids for a while, since I'm pretty much settled with my pc. But I have to tell you the music you're making is superb. Do you have like an album or place where ppl could buy it? Best of luck!

i'm looking foward to upgrade my prebuild for a SSF and that one looks great, I was thinking about meshlicious for small footprint on the desk , but if Lian Li release a white version of that will be killer
I have one tiny problem with this case. Not the thermal or component fitment, but the side panel design. Instead of CNC-ing holes, why didnt they use perforated panel instead? Those cnc holes in my opinion *looks* cheap 😔
Still very happy with my Meshlicious, otherwise I would definitely have bought this case! And of course... I would change the fans that come with any AIO to Noctua fans.
This case seems like an upside down lian li q58 with even worse cable management. Man your case reviews are spot on! I got my lian li q58 after watching your review. Speaking of which I shoved in my MSI 3080 Gaming Z trio in there with an ungodly amount of force aftwe watching your review.

@@papi6518 yeah, and it's also niche, I understand why it's more expensive, but especially in my country an itx board costs literally double of an atx counterpart, sfx psus can cost up to three times and the cases aren't cheap either. It's too much to justify it.
Someone should make a shock absorbing case for it or just a neoprene sleeve. I would buy this over a laptop If I have a easy method of putting it in my backpack.
BitWit used an FE in his review of this case and it performed surprisingly well. Like @Gear Seekers mentioned it will include standoffs for the riser cable that will give the GPU space to breath.
Sooooooooooo the max supported length of the case is 322mm but that is a 318mm GPU and it looks like it cant get any bigger than that.... What's up with that? I have a 323mm gpu that I'll probably shave for this case
Might have to change from my slinger sm560 for the aio the sliger is also 11l and these size sff cases are easy to build in until you get to the 12 pin cable as there just to long and I had to get a custom 12pin. However I spent sooooo much on my sliger sm560 in Australia and its red I can't seem to give it up that easily. I wish there where more colours like the nr200 but red
Great review , in Spain only managed to get the pcie 3.0 , can you say what riser i need for change to 4.0? The support day me 20 cm 360 degree inverted but i cannot find , thx
I bought the case that came with the 3.0 version by mistake and had to buy a 4.0 riser separately recently. I bought the LinkUp Ultra PCIE 4.0 Dual Reverse Socket Riser Cable 20cm. Works perfectly. As long as your riser cable is duel reverse and 20cm, you’ll be fin. One note though, the screw holes for the female side of the linkup riser cable do not line up with the stand-up’s pre-installed on the case, but there are holes drilled on the case that you can move the stand ups to that will fit this riser cable.

Is their a flatpacked version like the Formd T1
i think i found my new itx build
I didn’t take note about the pump dimensions and the pump i used have the height of 58mm and it fits but its touching against the side panel.
very nice one!
love those small form factor builds :)
Does the phanteks aio come with the 1700 bracket or do you need to get it!
What are other competitors are out there? I know of Sliger and the Formd T1, as well as the Ghost S1

But will it fit the even massiver MSI gaming x trio 3070ti? O.o
Sweet looking case. Would be great for a HTPC. Excellent video fams. I'm still subscribed ;)
Excellent case it seems and definitely worth the price unlike the “New” $400 NZXT H1 version 2
