the fact that dawid is making those pc building noises in a hotel is hilarious. can you imagen being in the next room and hearing "AHHH ITS FINALY IN" after minutes of questionable sounds.
This being Japan those stickers would have been greatly over priced in any sex shop. I mean he claims to be spending money in Canadian, which is silly Canadians don't have money, that's why they are so nice. Now send American gamer to Japan, he will be blasting 'Big in Japan' on an 80's boombox while spending the equivalent of 1,000's of CAD on things like AIO's with OLED screen/RGB and power cables with RGB, possibly on screws with ARGB!
They are surprisingly well made, granted those items are made BY the vtuber rather than the company so they have personality and the creators want it to be quality..
I ran into Dawid and Anna in the Akihabara Bic Camera while they were filming this! The first time I have ever seen a TH-camr out in the wild. This video is making me want to go back to Japan already. Dawid it was really nice to meet you and Anna, thanks for taking a break from filming to chat :)
I saw them too awhile back in Akihabara, in that shop that have the Idol Masters stuff, but i was too shy to even approach them, plus i don't like seeing myself shown in Social Media Appearances, so unfortunately i had to just admire them from far behind haha
Similarly to this sort of luck, I had the most wild chances to encounter the late Grant Imahara in a random Shinjuku arcade and just happened to catch him leaving in 2018. Dude was super chill and accepted my request to take a selfie. Years later, I'm glad I was even able to take that picture with him because he'd pass away in 2020.
20:22 The reaction of the guy in the car behind Dawid seeing him wear the hello kitty Razer headphones with that pose is priceless. Great video dude. It's amazing that such a small ITX pc can become a capable gaming pc.
the handle on the case box is really smart anyone who held something by these kind of straps knows the pain of it digging into your hand and in japan most people will be taking the train so they'll be holding onto it for a long time so i appreciate the QoL improvment ...
Japan has packaging down to like some kind of ancient black magic. You should see the high end department stores wrap things, its amazing what they can do. Even oddly shaped things are no problem. I watched them wrap a $5 pencil for me and even I had filmed that I don' tthink I could ever replicate how the hell that actually worked.
Having lived in Japan for over 15 years, let me tell you that everything here is either extremely expensive or extremely underpowered and old unless you order it online. Also, i am sure Dawid doesn't read this, but for anyone that does, Japan has extremely strict privacy laws and filming in stores, restaurants, transportation, and people without consent (and blurring people's faces) can actually get your camera confiscated by police and a fine up to ¥100000 (~$1000) over their portrait/privacy laws. Since Dawid is making money from this TH-cam video and if he didn't ask for consent, he can get fined by the government and sued by any of the stores and people of they find out.
Ironically Southern California has similar laws about filming in and around bathrooms. A World of Warcraft TH-camr got fined for doing an interview in men's room (at Blizzcon in Anaheim, California), not knowing the law. SoCal like Japan has had...issues with perverts and so has had to also create legal remedies.
Japan has similar privacy laws as EU countries like Germany... Unless your following somebody with your camera or taking tons of pictures then practically nobody cares, there are people streaming in public using selfie sticks for thousands of hours without any problems.
@@kevin-sj3wtyou’d have to have money or get lots of sponsorships on TH-cam to finance this sorta thing yeah… if you haven’t seen all the videos of him ordering prebuilts, matching prebuilts in price ordering stuff from abroad (out of Canada) it’s kinda obvious… though I wouldn’t necessarily say he would be “rich” more middle class (which I guess in 2023 for your average peasant is rich)
Linode being called Akamai, which sounds like a peak shounen anime name, is fitting for a vid set in Japan. EDIT: 6:13 - Heh, didn't expect to run into a certain chaos rat in a Dawid vid.
Oh didn't know you came to Japan! Was awesome meeting you at Taiwan, I forgot what happened that night though, I swear I got your details but went to send you a message and couldn't find you in the phone.... :(
The case you see at 6:19 is a limited edition Hakos Baelz Hyte Y60. She’s an Aussie VTuber part of the English Branch of HoloLive, so something like that definitely would be expensive lol (but many, including me, would love one..)
The Hyte Y60 Hakos Baelz edition and Ouro Kronii edition are sold at a price of $280 USD, making them $80.01 USD more expensive than the regular Y60. As someone who owns the Y60 Bae edition, I can say that I do not regret the purchase beyond the impetus it gave me to upgrade literally the entirety of my computer's innards because the parts I salvaged from my previous build felt... unfitting 😅
When it comes to tech stuff, for me this is fast becoming the most interesting and entertaining channel out there. I'm subscribed to quite a few channels, but this one excites me the most when I see new content available. It's the combination and balance of technical details and humour, together with the Carl Sagan-esque delivery that just blows me away. Brilliant and entertaining stuff! I can't wait for your next episode.
To me it's already mind boggling to see shops and stores with this stuff. 90% here is all online webshops. The few that are left are just a couple of stubborn old people or big chains that sell TVs and appliances as well.
I was going to say the same thing, man it's so different in the Asian countries compared to here in the states. Nobody here in the states does that kind of setups for sales except for maybe Micro Center. And the care they take to package your stuff to keep it from getting wet is pretty wild. Compare that to the 5 gallon Amazon box I got with 1 blown out bubble bag and one small item floating around in there like a bad pinball game.
@@JohnSmith-hv6ks same. I saw when they were selling these and debated buying one, but I literally just put my stuff into a new case last year and couldn't justify spending a bunch of money on yet another case lol

I've noticed that you're relatively new to PC building. Additionally, I find it puzzling why some Western TH-camrs criticize Asia when the majority of their viewership comes from Asian regions.
You are doing the same thing as you do in Canada but because you are walking around in shops in Japan it makes it much more interesting than just ordering things online. Tokyo may not be the tech capital of the world anymore but it’s still very cool. I’ve been wanting to go since I was a kid in the 90s but never gotten the opportunity yet.
as a japanese viewer, I am planning my first computer build this year and my wallet is CRYING when I see prices for parts like GPUs here in Japan compared to places like the US. please keep making videos like this one, i really enjoyed it!
Do keep in mind US prices are without any sale taxes on them. Where there are various sale taxes in the various states (so what you actual pay differ from state to state). I would assume Japan has VAT added to the price in stores, perhaps also other sale taxes (I guess there might also be import tax).
@@chrisgrui1993 I would think most of it is taxes, then also not as many PC gamers in Japan so there isn’t that bulk savings as there are in other markets.
@@AndersHass good point on the sales tax! I'm sure even in the US price of parts varies a lot by state because of this. here in japan we are suffering with high taxes, high import costs, and the lowest valued yen compared to the dollar in decades 😁
I use this same case for my mini-ITX build. I replaced the feet on the bottom with some taller feet, and it helps with GPU temperatures and was a very cheap modification. I then took the existing feet and used them to screw in the tempered glass panel on the bottom of the motherboard. So now I can use the PC in horizontal mode as well. For day to day usage there is no thermal difference, but when I am using a high GPU workload I get better thermals when I lay the PC on the side. It simply lets more air get to the GPU. The case itself is super durable, I traveled halfway around the world with it and never had any issues with my PC from airlines handling. It can even fit in carry on luggage, so that helps. When I take it through airport security I always get strange looks though.
6:42 WHAT they already have the Dan C4-SFX for sale??? The price is roughly $240 USD too which is actually really reasonable. I would've bought it on the spot if I were there.
Did not expect this to be the most painful pc building experience I have seen in awhile. At first, I was like I like that case, then as soon as the build started, I was like oh no. Great video, though!
I would be curious how reversing the orientation of the CPU fan would impact temps. It's not ideal to dump exhaust into the power supply, but it would probably be fine.
@@jeanbrouwers More work, but possible I have done it a few times. Usually DON'T like opening ANY PSU if it can be avoided. Just generally a bit risky.
I like the idea of a small compact PC… yet seriously flaws = Future problems. - More storage… - Cooling issues - New components that won’t fit It’s not worth it. Buy a big case.
@@Daxiongmao87wasn't that timeframe era the sort of glory years of feature phones in Japan? (Maybe a couple years too early) Before the era of smartphones, but you'd find phones with color screens (before we got them in the US), basic apps, and phones that even had TV tuners in them?
@@volvo09 it was the era of polyphonic ringtones! And as a teen I was obsessed with them lol. Mine had a color screen, but the polyphonic sounds were awesome. But yeah no smartphones yet, mainstream consumer cellphones was still a pretty young concept.
4:17 A Jonsbo T8 I have this case. It's not bad if you can get a SFX PSU that you can get ultra short cables made, but the choices for GPUs are limited to ITX models at 180mm max (they even state that on their site.) For best air flow though It's best to use a 35W~65W, a RTX A2000 6GB GPU, and a HDFlex 200W Pico PSU w/ a 180W - 200W Dell laptop adapter (just needed a metal plate to put in the DC plug into.) Oh depending on the GPU the GPU fan works for drawing the air in, but your choices on Heatsinks & GPU are not the wisest of choices on airflow, but at least it wasn't thermal throttling.
There's a ton of shops in Japan that do that(same handles, same green plastic straps). They do it because people ride the trains to get around. There's a machine at the checkout that seals the straps by melting the ends together. Very common for things that don't fit into any bag(I got straps on a full size casio keyboard from a music store, as well as a folding table I bought at a department store) As for the plastic wrapping, the employees are taught "the proper way" to do it. It's a cultural thing that if you get wrapping on a purchase, it has to be the stores way and is probably WTF awesome. It goes back to the cloth wraps they used to use. Apparently they often hire a consultant to come in and "teach" wrapping techiques. If you ever go to Japan, feel free to ask for it to be wrapped(gift wrapped, travel wrapped, etc) and they'll probably do it in an exquisite manner. If you think it's weird, they also have a very specific way to count money that is the same everywhere and they all do it EXACTLY the same every time(they force people to practice doing it just so, with the same precise motions and a very exact angle of folding)
@@Grimmwoldds I thought it was an awesome little touch. I don't really see myself as a travel enjoyer, but Japan seems like it would be a great place to visit. Thanks for sharing your experience by the way.
@@herrakaarme I certainly think so, lol i saw switches & keycaps missing from a display the other day. Sooner or later we are going to go into a store with everything being behind a locked display case. Gonna have to wait for a store associate to unlock things we wanna buy smh.
I would probably have flipped the cpu heatsink fan up the other way so its not fighting with the power supply fan, just to see if it improves temperatures.
5:05 ..... ...BULL S#!T! I was LITERALLY there LAST MONTH! IN THE SAME SHOP! and I didn't see those 11th Gen CPUs(I was hoping to get parts to side-upgrade my current PC. Currently using a 11500) God, I have the WORST LUCK!
I laughed when Dawid pointed to the limited edition red Hyte Y60 pc case and called it,(a case with a bunch of anime crap on it),that's Vtuber "Hakos Baelz" from Hololive.
Custom builds are fun! We have a giant tech market called Nehru place in Delhi, one of the only logitech dealer and a great friend there and knows where to source what, he tells us what all shops to grab components from after understanding our requirements and we assemble the entire rig in his shop and fire it up before bringing the build back home. So we avoid these potential red flags by assembling builds before taking them home!
It looks orange to me. Am I wrong? I am jealous about the whole experience. Outside of the language barrier and complete lack of money, I would love to travel and spend a lot of time in Japan. Thank you for sharing!
@16:15 - Meh, I have a GTX 295 in my retro Antec Super lanboy PC build. That baby is a friction fit, literally scraped into place! Worth it for the case and obscene XP/Vista gaming action. That baby plays Crysis maxed out at 1080p.
Akiba is a shadow of its former self when it comes to PC shops, but you did pretty well. There are still a few smaller ones where you can get deals but you need more time (and patience) to look around. I hope you’ll have a good time elsewhere in Tokyo as well.
It's so interesting to see these hardware stores, like the 90s never really ended in Japan. Very cool. I used to love looking at "computer stores" but of course that's like saying I used to love visiting the cobbler or something, they're all gone and never got a chance to progress into this insanity.
19:02 confirmed, next build should be in an ITX case for portability in hotel rooms, RV/camper TV's on a stick, and/or the beheaded laptop 15.6 inch screen. Naturally with SFX power supply, dual fan graphics card (but not too big now) and accessory itasha decals. Waifu wrist rest optional. Tanoshimi-desu!
oh and I know that Biccamera! That's where I got my Switch and TOTK. There was actually some guys set up in front with a booth that had voice translators, it was such a cool experience.
The anime case they found for those wobder, the character is a Vtuber (streamer who uses an anime character on screen) Hakos Baelz from thw company Hololive. They did an official collab with Hyte for mutiple versions of the Y60 with characters fron their company. Most are pretty good streamers tbh.
Awesome video! The PC looked awesome in the end, just too bad about the heat! But you looked super fashionable in those Hello Kitty headphones Dawid my man!
Wonder what the cpu thermals would be if you reversed the cpu fan (have it blow towards the psu) ? Would be interesting to know if it did any useful cooling.
Re: the ram clips, I like them because you know it’s fully seated. And I don’t recall ever seeing a mobo that didn’t have them. At least not in the last 10 years.
So glad you find those ram slots annoying, my b550 tomahawk had them & I wasn't expecting it, nor had I ever experienced them before, 'twas my first full build since 1997.👌✌👍🙏
What an awesome video, I would love to see another build using that case and maybe even with the anime sticker aesthetics, the case just looks so cozy besides being so hard to work around with 😅
At 4:24 he shows a case. Can someone please tell me there is an Amazon, or ebay listing for one, it'd be perfect for a build I've planning for over a year now.
16:42 looking from the mesh of the powersupply that thing is well made and high quality , it has nippon capacitor which already places it above most 100$ brand name powersupplies that use chong pong capacitors .

Cute pc. Love the sticker. Dang sure wouldn’t build in that case though.
By far my favorite video so far. I was making the same sounds when that GPU was being installed.
I love how the Japanese put so much effort into their packaging and stuff like that
That japanese plastic man sure puts wish's yellow tape man to shame. I desperately want to see a yellow tape handle next time.
The collab we never knew we needed
There's a ton of shops in Japan that do that(same handles, same green plastic straps). They do it because people ride the trains to get around. There's a machine at the checkout that seals the straps by melting the ends together. Very common for things that don't fit into any bag(I got straps on a full size casio keyboard from a music store, as well as a folding table I bought at a department store)
As for the plastic wrapping, the employees are taught "the proper way" to do it. It's a cultural thing that if you get wrapping on a purchase, it has to be the stores way and is probably WTF awesome. It goes back to the cloth wraps they used to use. Apparently they often hire a consultant to come in and "teach" wrapping techiques. If you ever go to Japan, feel free to ask for it to be wrapped(gift wrapped, travel wrapped, etc) and they'll probably do it in an exquisite manner.
If you think it's weird, they also have a very specific way to count money that is the same everywhere and they all do it EXACTLY the same every time(they force people to practice doing it just so, with the same precise motions and a very exact angle of folding)
@@Grimmwoldds I thought it was an awesome little touch. I don't really see myself as a travel enjoyer, but Japan seems like it would be a great place to visit. Thanks for sharing your experience by the way.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO! It's a prefect mixture of PC building, reviews, travel vlog, and Japan! I think it just made my day lol
How nice is it to go into a shop, see keyboards displayed......WITH ALL KEYCAPS ATTACHED lol. Great vid as usual
Are people stealing them as spare parts for themselves? I noticed a lot of missing keycaps when I went to buy a new mouse recently.
@@herrakaarme I certainly think so, lol i saw switches & keycaps missing from a display the other day. Sooner or later we are going to go into a store with everything being behind a locked display case. Gonna have to wait for a store associate to unlock things we wanna buy smh.
Yeah now you know why can't try out headphones there either...
Respect for the side sticker. Looks truly nice. :)
Love your video, I am interested in the sticker you ordered for this ITX case, looks lovely
Finally!!!!! I have been itching for my doze of Dawid vd jokes and gaming PC reviews!!!
I would probably have flipped the cpu heatsink fan up the other way so its not fighting with the power supply fan, just to see if it improves temperatures.
I have a similar layout case, flipping the fan helps a lot
I'd guess he would have tried it, but the video was starting to be a bit on the longer side for one of his videos. They are usually around 10-14 mins.
This build is unironically really sick looking and very practical. Used may have been cheaper but less fun :D
that sticker really made the whole build, looks great! (as long as you dont open it up)

.....
...BULL S#!T! I was LITERALLY there LAST MONTH! IN THE SAME SHOP! and I didn't see those 11th Gen CPUs(I was hoping to get parts to side-upgrade my current PC. Currently using a 11500)
God, I have the WORST LUCK!
I laughed when Dawid pointed to the limited edition red Hyte Y60 pc case and called it,(a case with a bunch of anime crap on it),that's Vtuber "Hakos Baelz" from Hololive.
I just bought the hakos baelz case recently lol.
@@sogaich. It is a really nice case.
@@SgtReaper22 I was going to buy the kronii case but it was out of stock💀💀.
Custom builds are fun! We have a giant tech market called Nehru place in Delhi, one of the only logitech dealer and a great friend there and knows where to source what, he tells us what all shops to grab components from after understanding our requirements and we assemble the entire rig in his shop and fire it up before bringing the build back home. So we avoid these potential red flags by assembling builds before taking them home!
in Australia it’s very common for tech stores to showcase their headphones & speakers so you can listen to them before purchasing
1:39 those prices seem pretty normal by Australian standards.
He could have called it a "Kawaii" or "Chibi" Gaming PC.
and painted it pink, and added a cute bow to the handle!
@pauljefferies5837 Yes, Exactly.
Maybe he will see this and change the title hah
No, that's cringe
@@uhm175 Hence, the joke lol.
I love this build. I actually love the color of the case as well. That orange-ish/copper color is super appealing.
Bae❤❤
6:35
There's a razor gaming store in the basement
Where it belongs 😂
"A spunk-proof keyboard" 😂
Dawid knows his audience
It looks orange to me. Am I wrong?
I am jealous about the whole experience. Outside of the language barrier and complete lack of money, I would love to travel and spend a lot of time in Japan.
Thank you for sharing!
7:22 Nah, physics can handle a bit more, look at Hitomi Tanaka
YOOOOO THEY HAD A BAE CASE LMAOOOOOO IT'S JUST AS SHORT AS HERRR HAHAHAHAHAHA
17:41 me too, Gamer Bow Guy, me too
@16:15 - Meh, I have a GTX 295 in my retro Antec Super lanboy PC build. That baby is a friction fit, literally scraped into place!
Worth it for the case and obscene XP/Vista gaming action. That baby plays Crysis maxed out at 1080p.
Akiba is a shadow of its former self when it comes to PC shops, but you did pretty well. There are still a few smaller ones where you can get deals but you need more time (and patience) to look around. I hope you’ll have a good time elsewhere in Tokyo as well.
Lol you looked like you loved making this video. Bravo Sir. Those Hello Kitty prereferral make me all jealous!
It's so interesting to see these hardware stores, like the 90s never really ended in Japan. Very cool.
I used to love looking at "computer stores" but of course that's like saying I used to love visiting the cobbler or something, they're all gone and never got a chance to progress into this insanity.
We need more of those small pc builds keep it up bro.👍👍👍
19:02 confirmed, next build should be in an ITX case for portability in hotel rooms, RV/camper TV's on a stick, and/or the beheaded laptop 15.6 inch screen. Naturally with SFX power supply, dual fan graphics card (but not too big now) and accessory itasha decals. Waifu wrist rest optional. Tanoshimi-desu!
17:32 I have that exact keyboard in white, and I understand what you mean by crappy. I can barely squeeze out a tekken session on it.
Loved the tension to get the GPU in. But it was mind blowing to get the front panel power connected to the USB connector. Nice small build.
oh and I know that Biccamera! That's where I got my Switch and TOTK. There was actually some guys set up in front with a booth that had voice translators, it was such a cool experience.
10:17 What every man over 40 dreads hearing at his checkup.
The anime case they found for those wobder, the character is a Vtuber (streamer who uses an anime character on screen) Hakos Baelz from thw company Hololive. They did an official collab with Hyte for mutiple versions of the Y60 with characters fron their company. Most are pretty good streamers tbh.
6:24 lol, wasn't expecting to see bae
6:14 that case wasn't sold in a while, been visiting that store for 6 months and since then I always see it at the same place lol
I admire your courage for buying an ITX custom build PC on the fly. And you can't get enough of Japanese PRO wrapping enough, indeed.
Love the jonsbo t8 case, had 2 of them, just need to plan the build a bit.
Definately as small of a cooler as the cpu will allow.
Awesome video! The PC looked awesome in the end, just too bad about the heat! But you looked super fashionable in those Hello Kitty headphones Dawid my man!
you're love for Hello Kitty made me subscribed! Greetings from Japan....
the sticker matching the case's colour is just chef kiss
I'm SO glad it was that decal you ended up using
Thank you for puting the link to buy the sticker in the description. I was looking for the exact same thing.
Wonder what the cpu thermals would be if you reversed the cpu fan (have it blow towards the psu) ? Would be interesting to know if it did any useful cooling.
I won't lie I love the look of OG Japanese PC's from the 80's and 90's. Many were not in fact not beige boxes.
Re: the ram clips, I like them because you know it’s fully seated. And I don’t recall ever seeing a mobo that didn’t have them. At least not in the last 10 years.
So glad you find those ram slots annoying, my b550 tomahawk had them & I wasn't expecting it, nor had I ever experienced them before, 'twas my first full build since 1997.👌✌👍🙏
What an awesome video, I would love to see another build using that case and maybe even with the anime sticker aesthetics, the case just looks so cozy besides being so hard to work around with 😅
In Japan the best option for ANYTHING games or gaming related is small shops dedicated to these type of things.
At 4:24 he shows a case. Can someone please tell me there is an Amazon, or ebay listing for one, it'd be perfect for a build I've planning for over a year now.
Excellent as always. Thanks for this video!
Awesome work as always and the Headphones are the real Banger here XD!
16:42 looking from the mesh of the powersupply that thing is well made and high quality , it has nippon capacitor which already places it above most 100$ brand name powersupplies that use chong pong capacitors .
7:25 The Japanese blur
