Excellent job at breaking down such an absurdly complex topic into 16 minutes. The video came together really well and gives a good start-to-finish look at case manufacturing.
Gamers Nexus stamp-of-approval lol
When I say mine I mean we haven't signed the contract yet lol and it's for my mum actually.
There's just so many hiccups and time pressure. It's our first brand new car you see.
The latest hiccup I shouldn't have mentioned me mum has concession
now I have to find out how it works with Pensioner's discount on the new
rego, instead of the old car rego!!!
Spec number as in the minor reiterations and improvments over the
months, I'm not entirely sure if it corresponds with Build date. And
frankly hesitant to trust what comes out a dealer's mouth at this point!
Agreed the new gen RAV looks too edgy for me, I guess it could grow on you over time though,
We love everything about the current RAV4!! except why the gear knob doesn't have the leather covering, yet the handbrake does!
CHR looks bit better than new gen RAV, but yess essentially
CHR = Corolla hatch on stilts, room in the back sucks
You're so great man.So is your channel.
If you guys thought this is arduous work, you haven't seen when it goes low volume with minimum tool investments.
Respect for those workers. This was a fun experience
I wonder how much money they are making on a weekly basis. That would be my dream job.
Juan Gonzalez lol. Youre fuckin insane. Repetitive manual labor is hard and makes minimum salary.
@@JuanGonzalez-hv6vs Probably like 30 cents an
hour over there and no you don't. Warehouse work in America is nothing compared to what these people have to deal with.
@@blaaaaaaaa2017 So...do you know anything about Jaun and his situation? .This would be a dream job for millions of the world's population. It seems that calling Juan fuckin' insane is a bit fuckin' arrogant.
one month can get 2000-3000RMB（8 hours working），if have over time can get 5000-6000rmb/month，
Cool, I didn't know how much work went into case manufacturing!
There is much more, like the company that mined the aluminum, shipped the raw aluminium to the smelting factory, then shipped it to cooler master in a gaint roll, paid for gas, truck, truck insurance, repairs, parts, workers and maybe health benefits, insurance, uniforms. Etc. In both factories. And there's much more.
It's a bit weird how run down and dirty these factories look though
Still too easy to brake
@@southbronxny5727 Exactly! This video just scratches the surface: th-cam.com/video/IYO3tOqDISE/w-d-xo.html
@@Mr_Higgs A factory cleans to a level that ensures safety and product quality..I wouldn't expect cleanroom technology in a factory like this, nor would I expect an integrated circuit facility ti have anything less than ISO Class 1 cleanroom standards.

As a mechanical engineer who has designed stamping tooling this is an interesting explanation from a different perspective.
I'm interested in making my own PC case from scratch. I was wondering if you know how meshes are made into sheet metal for the case fans. And how would I go about it doing it by hand?
BPS Customs: *has a fractal design case ad for a cooler master case making video.
Cooler master: Am I a joke to you
Rrp and campaign pricing are different. Even reading the ts and cs says that its on paying full price.
Feel free to find out guys, but u wont know your interest rate till
after you buy the car, so you might not be in the position to actually
get the 2.9%!
To the OP, are you a car salesman or Business Manager? What im
getting at, is can u legally talk about finance? 1 can and 1 cant, what
category are you in?
I like the look of the new cases and they look better than some of the older ones I made computers from years ago. The process of the building of the cases was interesting and impressed me with the improved quality control they have in the plant. Thanks for sharing this information with us all.
That's some serious manufacturing! Good thing you did video last year instead of the same time this year!
I'm loving these "how it's made" videos from you and Steve. It's very enlightening.
6:50 The flame color in such a torch is due to what's burning, not to temperature. Blue is butane, orange would be propane.

@7:27, If you notice close enough, about half of those panels will not be inspected by QC whereas the other half will be. That explains why there's a mixed perception on cheap labor. You can replace machines, but you can't replace humans.
Man I spent 30 years as a Tool & Die maker and you sure don't know a thing about the terminology but keep going 99.99% of those watching won't know the difference. OH the wire cutting you refer to is WIRE EDM Electro Discharge Machining. All In all great job and very through.
HoundDogMech and this why everyone including your family members hate you.
Good move, Cooler Master, seeing how it's made makes me want to buy one. Oh wait... I've already got several 😁👍
The good thing about these videos is that you get to see how the pieces are snaped together, so that you can fiddle around with them more easily if you need to do any modding. Good stuff!
But.......where's the DVD drive bay?
Most newer cases don't have them anymore. Instead there is often either nothing or another fan slot on the front.
When this once staple product of US Mfg. was given away to China, they also inherited the dilemma of a continued demand for them. Plastic injection molding was, and is still replacing thousands of former steel products like this. Sheet metal enclosures will always be in demand, but not for products like this. That's a nice looking operation going on over there. Very good job making this video.
Give this man a million subscribers
We under estimate the amount of man power that is required to manufacturing these things.
We underestimate how absurdly little these factory workers are paid.
Basically slave work.
A Manufacturing Engineers Nightmare or Masterpiece. You decide.
I never thought that PC case manufacturing is as complex as that. It even includes robotics which are commonly used in the manufacture of more complex machines such as automobiles. Good job people.
Like the GN tour of the Lian Li supplier there is 0 information about the steel used to make the cases and the materiaks used for finishing.
Cool! Great video! I wish I could see what went into making my C700M! Some parts on the one in this video look similar, but there's still several differences. Cooler Master does some really high quality work!
Me too..i was hoping its was c700m
This was a very eye opening and fun video.................Thanks dude !
I love the fractal ad on the coolermaster tour
0:06 your thumbnail 😆
I'm a lady watching this. I always wanted to go to Shenzhen to see the tech. I don't have many Cooler Master products but I got their 210 Evo for the price.
Fascinating detailed video...well done & thanks!
Poor buggers, doing that all day. Reminds me of the dying days of the 1980s when we (In Wales) had jobs like this, with a few robots bought second hand. I worked for the company that built the Olympic Stadium in London a few decades back. By then we were top of our game, then went bankrupt and the Chinese bought out the knowledge base and shut us down- thankfully I wasn't really affected as I'd moved on. Still it shows the work involved and why cases of quality cost so much.
Mom, how cases are made?
Interesting video. I just used a Cooler Master H500M for my build. But when they snapped on the top panel, they broke one of the tabs. Wonder if it was one of the workers in the video? Where was QC for my case lol...
i know this will be difficult but this would be an amazing series!
i like China because it made every thing available at reasonable price
One case costs to build 2$, you buy it for 100$
@@juhaheikkila it could cost $500 if you white oops i mean 'like'
@@juhaheikkila who would pay for designing, prototping, shipping, maketing and of course profits
@@juhaheikkila these particular case is 250 dollars...
When was the part where the case gets a static charge on it, that always shocks you when you take it out of the box?
This is very depressing to watch...and all the guilt the comentator keeps pushing in by repeating over and over that all of this is very expencive!...like what??? should i run to my local store and buy a ton of coolermaster products now?...
case maker:
- spend millions and years to build the tooling for a pc case
gamer nexus:
- this pc case is bad, no air flow whatsoever, do not buy this.
Great video! It’s so easy for us to forget how much planning effort and work it takes to design and manufacture all these products we can just order up in a few clicks on Amazon or some other place. Would love to see more of this kind of video on how things are actually produced.
😲 i love my c700m coolermaster 🤗
There are cheaper options than laser cutting e.g. Browns' Gas generators. I wonder why they don't have SD or micro SD connectivity on cases?
cooking doesn't seal in the juices and putting it in an oven is to get doneness more even...
Excellent video! Thanks.
I feel for those workers, they don't look happy.
They think you in regulation
The guy "having way too much fun" at 15:13 is having his joints destroyed.
unhappy doesn't pay bills. Earning your own money and making a living is not easy.
As making PC case is sooo complex, labor & capital intensive ; its fair for Cooler Master to command higher price. Thank you for sharing. Its very inspiring.
As a PC Modder this was very much enjoyable to watch! :D
props to these people for having the will to assemble all that cos tbh those jobs look goddamn terrible
biya binya The world needs ditch diggers too you know
Looks like any factory job. They all tend be monotonous, especially when you work on an assembly line. At some point you tend to commit all the steps to muscle memory and can get by with only paying half attention while your mind wanders off into other thoughts.
Derangel nailed it. Muscle memory while thinking of other things is how it goes. Even the more complicated station probably have operators doing this.
I did it as a CNC operator. You eventually just know how to do things without thinking, then the next time you think about the job, it's already done and you're onto the next.
It's amazing that there is this many people buying pc cases in the whole world lol
Very interesting video, thx 4 sharing !
Hope they got better mask while painting.
when it comes to pc parts each time someone goes to a factory we can always expect it to be in asia
R.I.P. DVD Drives...............
Sad how much the workers make versus how much cooler master makes from their work!!!!!!
that's some hard work.
You deserve a hell lot of more subscribers sir. Quality content is always good!
I feel like way too many of each type of case is being made. I bet there are a dozen of the same case being made but rebranded with slight differences to get the most out of each tooling.
who else did a quick amazon search to find this case?
What a horrific powder coating job at 7:18 . Dude just does 2 circles on the same area, leaving corners with much less material.
Terrific video! Thanks.
Although, it's sad... we used to actually make things ourselves. I know it's not as simple as saying, "We should make things ourselves!", but it _is_ a little depressing.
so we see in first few minutes that COOLERMASTER IS C-TECH. now i directly buy c-tech products, not coolermaster. but already everybody know that one company made products for premium company .
super happy to see the process but i need to know how many minutes the process take start to finish?
Wow, very cool to watch. Thanks Brian!
Production costs 50€ Retail price 172€
What kind of steel alloy do they use? And are they galvanized with zinc or just bare paint?
0:06 savage
like how you made a boring vid of assembly line into something fun to watch & educate us about the process at the same time
What do you think about work quality in the factories? Thinking about buying a case that was made by slaves makes me disgusted tbh
Actually they had a lot of quality stations which surprised me, and honestly they get paid too, maybe not $20/ hour but they get paid it's a job...
Although machine shops will always be dirty to a degree, these factories are generally well lit and clean. The workers are paid well and were very pleasant to interact with. They also receive benefits and have on-site meal facilities. It's a factory job, it's not going to be glamorous. But from what we saw CM is treating their people well.
@@BPSCustoms "paid well" lol arent factory workers in china paid literal pennies? They look miserable aswell, but you know better than me since you were actually there.
@@thatxonexguy5438 it's not about pennies, it's about income vs cost of living ratio, someone affording a house in mid america would be homeless in sanfrancisco for example
multiple tours/interviews have said china isnt about cost anymore, but it's about suppliers being in the same region along with skilled technicians
this is still relatively high tech, there are much worse factories in poorer countries
what exactly do people imagine a 'good' factory is supposed to look like? i cant imagine one other than robots, at which point hundreds or thousands of humans now have no job
1:30 Oooh, love me some walking beam transfer action!
It’s amazing some cases are sold so cheap when it can cost so much for manufacturing.
Repetitive work on every station. You'd think they'd get bored and tired doing the same thing over and over unless they get rotated. Some of these workers come from farm villages.
guards?nope
safety glasses?nope
fire extinguishers?????
plastic bags to control leaks?check
chairs for employees to sit?nope
steel stamping guards??NOPE
smiling employees?sadly no.
coolermaster should be embarrassed imo.
The New How It's Made
Excellent video. I always wandered what China’s sweat shops looked like, now I know. Actually same thing over here. I go to lots of these type metals manufacturers around the country where automotive parts are stamped out and it’s interesting but not something I could see myself doing for long. Always has the same smell of metal burning in the air and it gets all over your cloths and into your pores. Lots of employees and shift work atmosphere going on. Im a Truck Driver with a Gaming PC in my Truck. I use a large Hot Spot WiFi device from TMobil , 2080Ti , 10900K in a small case. It Rocks and I can game every time I stop. It’s made trucking so much more fun.
Too many commercials, from now on I'm giving thumbs down to any video that has over a minute of commercials at the beginning
I remember watching when you were only around 19K subs! Amazing to see that you've broken 100K so early. You deserve it!
fractal design is the sponsor for a cooler master case factory visit
14 years ago I was working in a PC parts importer where we were in a group around 15 to 20 people assembling PC cases. Their metal parts came already pre-made and our job was only riveting them, putting the cheap PSU, boxing and sending to the store. Boy they were so cheap and badly designed (PSU in front and above ... heh), watching this video seems nothing changed since then, only the number of people involved raised ...
Considering how expensive tooling is I’m surprised very few companies are going with a modular case design. This of course would destroy the case market for the shear #’s of cases available. Any company interested in this concept could simply offer 3 levels of modular cases. A $150ish system, $250 system and a no holds barred system. The lower levels could have additional add on pieces to make the basic model more affordable. The mid tier would also have options but have a more substantial amount of supplied parts. The top level would include everything possible. Most parts would be shared between the three levels with certain parts exclusive to each tier. It would be a benefit to manufacturers since tooling costs would be reduced. The downside would be there might not be as much repeat business for custom PC builders. It’s focus could be shifted to providing cases to the prebuilt market. This could reduce the number of case manufacturers and the companies left out could easily shift production to other markets. Audi already uses this concept in their 4 door saloon segment. Same Sausage.....different length and of course the appropriate power plant for that given Sausage length.
This was nice.
Good job on this video, it's like National Geographic for nerds, I don't think you used a dead cat to cover your mic and isolate the wind noise!
I left it at home thinking I wouldn't need it. Whoops.
One of the very few (literally 0) 16 minutes videos that I watched entirely without skipping!
Good WATCH EXPERIENCE!
Just a quick comment to let you know that the algorithm finally took a break from showing me what happens if you eat Flex Seal so that I could watch some classic BPS Customs content without having to hunt it down. I still love this walkthrough of the CM lines
10% mats, 10%chinese labor, 5%shipping, 10%tax and fees, 20% retail cost, 45% profit. Not bad.
Cooler master is taking over 5 months to send me a replacement 200mm ARGB fan. Sad to say but I don’t think I’ll be buying anything made by them from this point moving forward. By far some of the slowest customer support I’ve ever had the nightmare of dealing with.
The powder coat spray guy is shortening his life after every spray. Maybe they wear the useless mask for your visit only otherwise the management will save on it. That's the reality in China thousands of peasants are waiting for this type of jobs. Very sad indeed. No safety at all.
How old is that factory? I wonder if one of my old ones is made there. :) I thought it would be bigger but I shouldn't be surprised.
Annoys ne that he says qc check instead of just qc ir quality check.. like who says and next up is quality check check
atm machine
Fantastic
so it goes through the build process then the packaging and once it's packaged it goes back to the assembly line? Makes perfect sense.
Fractal Design, a case maker, sponsored the video about a rival case maker, Cooler Master? Isn't that a huge burn to Cooler Master who were gracious enough to let you in and learn their manufacturing process?
who the heck didnt skip the ad & even remembers what it was after watching 15min of cooler master!?
7 oct 2020 3:49 pm edt(utc-4):
'The company headquarters of Fractal Design is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, where the products are designed. Fractal Design manufactures all their products in China.' in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_Design
I'd like to know because I estimate the worker counts will be around 1000 worker minus the office
9:45 You said RGB lighting. I stopped watching the video from that point on. You had one job, and you blew it.
Simon Johnny
Your loss:)
I think you missed an important part - then 2 years later, it gets chucked in the garbage, run through a chain mill to break it into little bits, boated back to china, and then becomes another case
I feel bad for the working conditions. Every factory seems to have old run down building
I just learned of your channel you have some amazing work here, wish i learned of you before finishing my first loop, good work!

No wonder this Cooler Master case cost $300..
amazing vid!! thanks 4 share
Imagine how much these cases would cost if they were manufactured here in the US. Probably 10x more expensive. Those employees are probably making $0.10 an hour. 😔
Hi dear,
Get me sample package of pc caseing. I would purchase a massive.
I cant believe how dirty and primitive in a way everything is...o-:
its made by cheap workers
Heard of video stabilisation?
