I own this case. Some pointers

• Replace the 850W SFX PSU with something else. It gets loud under load and has buggy firmware that doesn't allow the fan to ramp down when unloaded.
• Lift the bottom of the case by 1 to 2cm. The radiator has some breathing room, but it works better and quieter when given more ground clearance. You can place it on a grate/mesh, 4 hockey pucks, etc., it's up to your creativity.
• If your mobo has wifi, and you want to use it, get an antenna that's on a lead. There's no room for screw on antennas with the ankle guard panel on.
• On that note, the rear I/O ports closer to the PCIe slot may need a 90d angle adapter to use.
• It's heavy. The best place to lift it out of the box is from the top horizontal bars adjacent to the mobo and GPU.
• Keep an air duster and soft brush around. The paintjob on plastic is fantastic, and you don't want to scratch that with careless use of a hard brush or microfiber towel.

It's a limited edition novelty interior deco/art piece that doubles as a case. It's not for everyone.

Like, I can find a ton of generic shoe box cases that perform well, but this one is red, white, and black and has amazing details that those generic shoeboxes will never have, even if you give it a custom paint job or wrap.

Thanks for sharing!

It's not my cup of tea, but I do wish the article had a few more stills. Maybe I all watch the video or hunt down some more pics, as I'm at least intrigued enough to be curious.


P.S. even though I'm more of a "form follows function" type, I do have a slightly irrational preference for certain things. For instance, I always wanted to build a machine using the Silverstone PT13, which is a tiny 1.3L case that's basically as small as you can realistically make a Thin mini-ITX case.

It's far from a perfect case, requiring me to do several mods to make it work. All told, I've invested quite a bit more in this case than probably every other build I've done to date. Part of that wasn't really the fault of the case, but actually the motherboard I used and its poor thermal solution, which prompted me to rig a backside cooling solution, swap out the heatsink, and rig a fan in the case (which wasn't designed for one and doesn't really have room for it), all while trying to keep it as quiet as possible and avoid ever thermally throttling.

All of that is just to say that I do "get" the passion some people have for cases, as well as the time & trouble to make it "just so"!

Sell this without cpu,motherboard is impossible

coolermaster must add AMD 7800X 3D and 9950x to it (with asus strix and gskill ram then sell it to 3000$ (use intel cpu is mistake all are very hot , after 3month use give bluescreen in games even in 30watt labtops)

then many gamers ,producers buy it when is full pc
