If you didn't go through the comments: this was mistakenly transcoded and published in 16:9 instead of the 2:1 aspect ratio while the original editor was away on vacation. It was a mistake, not a deliberate choice.
Well it was a good mistake.
Im not complaining! Just don’t get mad at who’s mistake it was
It was my mistake. My psychic powers made him do it....
Eh.
It felt like a movie so it wasn't a real mistake.
does it even matter?
*Intense music*
Me: Oh wow, that was a really good vide-
Linus: BLUE APRON!
Felt like I was in bf1
Definitely true
well, a guy's gotta make some money :D
😂🤣😃😆
lmao NAILED IT
This quality of this video is impeccable. Great choice of music, great color correction, and amazing editing. Would love to see more videos at this caliber! Keep up the great work!
and then it gets ruined by blue apron
I'd agree but at the same time if it pays the bills it's hard to complain
Except at 16x9. Most people still view on devices with that aspect ratio.
Yeah that blue apron ad kinda jumped out of no where lol
It scared me :/
If only Linus had the rights to the Interstellar Soundtrack...
When he dropped that disc into the slot on top that is apparently an optical drive i was SOLD. I dont even use disks but i want it.
Where did that happen? i cant find it.
@@Grubbet 7:02
Holy shit a PC case that has the feature of a PS3, man this is cutting edge haha
I wasn't on board until he called it 'stealth'.
Yeah, I love the idea of my disc drive burning out when I use a disc for the first time in months, due to it filling with dust.
That optical drive slot on the top is easily the best/coolest feature on a case I’ve ever seen.
Agreed. The top mounted Optical is pretty much the best thing in this video. And this is from somebody who swears they would never go back to Optical drives since they have really fast internet
Yeah... what's an optical drive is for by the way?
@@hhy2k Nowadays? Like Booting a disc copy of Windows 10 from Amazon lol. People used to use them to watch movies, listen to CDs, or burn discs for either illegal free console games, or illegal music downloads... I think that's it but don't quote me on that
dust magnet….
imagine that having a hidden ps4 in it
They only thing missing from this video is Morgan Freeman's voice....
nah, total disrespect since he involved into politics...
The voice of GOD? Sure.
we need someone do write the words from linus, make a crowd funding for the morgan freeman impersonator here in youtube, to make a video of this.
James Earl Jones for me. He was the Morgan Freeman of my time.
That's why they brought in Riley, right? The Golden voice of Central Pahk? Like, I am right, aren't I?
These more "documentary" style videos (like the one on the IBM keyboard) are really fun. Not sure how they do for you guys views wise given they're not really wacky meme-able stuff, but I thoroughly enjoy them, and they're something no one else is really doing to such a high standard IMO.
Kudos.
it shows views on every video...
James Mastroianni I know, but I rarely look as it's not really important to me. What I meant was I don't know how this style of video performs relative to a more traditional LTT video.
My Custom TJ07 build was heavily influenced by this rig back in the day, have used my chassis for years and have yet to see another case that has tempted me. Absolutely love the attention to detail, all of those little tid-bits are just incredible.
Hey Cole. Long time no talk haha
It has been a while. Glad to see you're doing well, will have to catch up one of these days. Keep up the great work
A lot of cases also seem to be inspired by the murder box. I can definitely see influences in my case the in win 909.
100% agreed, man. I don't have the patience for detailing but I do appreciate it a lot.
Look at my profile picture....my tj07...haha
"Optical drives were already on their way out."
Me: ):
"Optional stealth slot-load optical drive." Damn.
I have two Blu-ray drives in my PC. I use them to rip my blurays for Plex.
@@TooFurious4 what programs do you use for that? Every time I've tried downloading some in the past to rip my old dvds hasn't allowing me due to the piracy protection. I'd greatly appreciate it
@@greod1006 I just use MakeMKV. I have two Blu-ray drives. One is LG and the other is Samsung. If one drive fails to open a disc the other one gets the job done.
@@TooFurious4 is that... Legal?
@@rskat501 sort of kind of maybe. Because it's never been tested in court, for now it's technically legal. But it can be argued as illegal.
Basically Ferrari of PC chassis. This will be my mid life crisis purchase.
did you actually buy it? that is not a good purchase lmao.
Even if it's not a good purchase, it's super awesome. It's pretty much art.
@@nathanielbarragan882 Well I honestly do not consider it the most aesthetic case.. It just kind of looks like mix between boring office pc and gamer pc. Well and they definetly could have done better
:D . I am ready but my wallet isnt.
@@Beachn2407 its the mirror edge's office's desktop, now more like apple, but, with colors
I admire passion these people have, shame that it ended it that way but huge respect and gl in the future with new projects.
No respect for him, the guy got investors (probably lied to them) to get a lot of resources to play with so he could make is dream case in a way that isnt practical for anyone other than himself. It was hugely selfish and a waste of everyone elses time.
My: search history 300 dollar budget pc

The quality of this video is as amazing as the case it's about.

*Best* LTT Video ever! The Music, the editing, the camera shots... great job to everyone involved in this Project!
Brandon went ham on this one
Noah the cinematography was like watching a pc case documentary like literally
Totally necessary
Cant forget the editors tho, they went ham as well
You can go ham. Or you can go home
Noah @ otto
Huge Props to Charles H, this guy really did what many people (including me) only dared as a thought experiment. I really adore the style and quality of this case. The price is just a result of the incredibly attention to detail and the road to this result.
But it has one flaw that all the showcases have. Once dust gets involved in the equasion, this case will need to be cleaned A LOT.
Lol, when a case costs more than your actual pc xD
And a car... combined.
when a case costs more than your car xD
I have a ryzen 3 1200 and a 1030 with 16 GB RAM and it costed 400 dollars. The case costs literally 5 Times more than my average PC.
WADER 007 You could need some upgrades
My Pc cost more than this case. ;)

I bought one a couple months ago. Absolutely love it.
@@Mog-Ops it has been amazing and I'm sure it will be for many more years to come!
$12.99? That's not too expensive.
*realization kicks in*
more like starting at 1299$.
easily 2000$ as showcased
the joke was the comma placement ;)
r/woooosh
"Too" expensive. Friend, that's hella cheap.
Friend, you overestimate my wealth.
"Wires shouldn't be hidden. They should just be beautiful"
This. I never understood the craze around "hiding your cables". Wires and cables are as much a part of the PC aesthetic, as the Motherboard, GPU and everything else you leave on display. Meh, I wish was able to afford to buy this case. I hope that it will sell well and we will see a Mark 3 that I will able to afford by the time it comes out.
Thanks. I was getting self-conscious of the wires bunched up around my my bottom drive bays in my build lmao
If anyone is foolish enough to purchase these for that amount, they will buy the next generation also, and the next etc. Look on ebay for these in six months. I have a nice Lian Li case sitting around empty.
A lot of wires aren't beautiful. Hiding them is the most cost effective way of making your pc look better.
Plus even having single sleeved cables dangling around in your case is ugly.
*looks at my mess of cables zip-tied and stuffed in the empty drive bay*
@lilkoolaidman93, fuck yeah.
Screw "aesthetic cable management" that's what empty drive bays are for.
and zip ties.
Nice of you to support that man's beautiful work. I'm sorry for him losing so much money when building such a well thought piece of art.
@plaguelock Why do all those fucking kids comment im this video? Obviously a case made by a billionaire company with lots of manufacturers will look more modern and can have lots of rgb and shit. But this is a peace of art. Handmade by a man who paid all of that. You wont buy this because its the best case in the world, but as a piece of art, just like spending on pieces of art to decorate your home
WoomyBlitz Do you know how difficult it is to perfectly cut, design, and mod a case to where you can just plop accessories in flushly? That takes serious craftsmanship and thinking
@plaguelock screw off you uncharismatic bore, and evne that's insulting soundwave. but seriously fuck off
Wow this is the most unified the PC master race has been since the great war over consoles.. and it's against one of our own kind. Lol
Although I do agree to much rgb rainbow shit is.. just. Bleh..
The optical drive is what really sold me from an amazing design standpoint. As soon as I win the lottery, this is what I'm getting.
I mean if my budget to build was like 15K I would get this!
My budget is barely 800$ Right now xDD
I could not afford this standalone case
I'm gonna be honest. I want this guy to succeed at whatever he's doing but, at no point would I consider getting this case.
Darn you I thought you profile picture was a hair on my screen!
Znow I just have to sell my car to get this
thas some complex ass fat hair lol

G V you missed the reference mate
So it's a tax dodge? I think not but it is OTT, just because you can doesn't mean you should. I think i'll stick with my Nanoxia and spend the 2k on a new OSW.
G V "something like the delorean, something only a fanatic would build" meaning how famous the delorean was BECAUSE of back to the future.. someone would recreate that car just like back to the future. Now with the case.. because there was only a handful made and everything went into thought about making that case on why its SUPER good and you'll never get anything like it. Just like how the BTTF delorean is only 1 of them. Only a crazed computer enthusiast would grab that case for the price tag and make a piece of art out of it.
This is the kind of thing artists would do, no profit in mind, just pure, raw, innovation.
This. Is. Art.
I don't.
Alas, this is true art. Some arbitrary construct whose cost and value far outstrip its practical utility and is prized for among other reasons, exclusivity and sentimentality.
There is really no practical difference between buying this case then buying a normal case plus a painting for the reminder of the money.
Yea, who cares about INSIDE of PC case, if PC purpose is to deliver visual performance onto screen, nobody is looking into PC case, but onto screen.
My favorite kind of art: the one that's mixed with engineering.
Israel Salgado agreed
All these comments are right but, I do wanna share my thoughts. Linus does an amazing job of putting products in front of people who would actually buy them and putting him name behind something he truly believes in. Well done to all parties even though the money side was a sad story
I never thought I would get goosebumps from a computer case. I never thought I would see one built like an exotic handcrafted car. And I've never thought that my water-cooled, overclocked, custom etched side paneled PC would seem so utterly common. I'm seriously sitting here wondering if I can make the cash fast enough to order one...
I agree.
He need more people like you, after 5 months, the 149 units are still not sold out yet.... Even after publicity bump by LTT.
So did he sell them all?
Work of art to be honest.
He is crazy, in a good way.
Clicked the link, lead to nothing but the website. I'm wondering too.
I don't know if the 250 were sold, but there's a limited edition available at Titanrig.com as they apparently bought Mod-One.
Titanrig still has 21 as of today, did they buy them off of him or are they just a re-seller, I have no idea, but they are becoming incredibly rare

"This was a financial disaster." "I wanna see another financial disaster."
For me, this is the best-produced video on LTT, I love video quality, transitions, music in the background. Congratz.
it's a sponsored video, do you like advertising?
Alpha Artax I like ads, they help people to earn money
Not sponsored
there is a link below the video, in the description, wake up
Well, its not bothering me
No one cares how much it takes to build a normal pc. The price of this case is based off all the time and effort the creator put into it, it looks amazing, and if i could buy one rn i would. The creator put his heart and soul into making this, and i feel as if that is enough to justify the price of this case, and when i build my pc, i will get one of his case's if theyre still available
But did YOU buy one............. hell no.
WeirdTacoEaters it’s people like you that continue to push the idea of supporting failed dreams, his complete fuck up and poor financial management skills are the reason his design failed
Don't see how his design fail. Last time I checked, his design were praised.
Indeed, business =/= design.
I put my heart and soul into the shit I just took, would you buy that for $2000?
The music is very different... It's good though.
Hans Zimmer is strong in this video xD
can you tell me the name of music by the way it's not Approaching Nirvana - Sugar High

This and the Corsair Slate are so beautifully overkill to the point where it's worth it.
Andrew Nguyen you mean the $500 Corsair 1000D?
You mean the Corsair case I just bought to house my gaming system and threadripper?
You mean ?
Too much overkill for me. Anyway its a beautiful case.
I would say:
"One of the best moments in 2018" :)
So it has come to a point where even in the hardware-scene I'm getting old... I remember when I first started dabbling in modding, cutting our own case-windows, the first custom watercooling companies popping up... The moment I discovered the miilion-dollar-pc website, I was blown away. Got head over heels into modding, got to know Nils, Richard, L3p, did some custom projects myself and so on. Even back then the Murderbox was almost doomed to fail because of the infancy of the whole scene and the outrageousness of the project. Now however, it has become this exquisite piece of history, like a monument, earning its value on what it stands for. If you can't justify the price for yourself, then so be it, I can't afford it either. But do not make the mistake saying that it's not worth it. At this point in time, it is worth every penny and more just because of what it stands for. If you don't undertand this, I suggest you educate yourself on the evolution that the pc-modding scene went through. What we now have at our disposal in terms of visualy pleasing hardware, we have because of the community and people who won't settle for 'good enough'.
>Hidden instead of non-existent optical drive
Now you got my respect for real!

That doesn't mean, as an artist myself, that I can't appreciate what Charles is, a true master of customization. Bravo Charles, bravo!
Michael Livote The 10% or 20% could manage this case if they don’t have kids :-3
...or a car, or a life.....sigh, I'd still love to at least look at it in person, it's a beauty for sure ❤
I can appreciate a Ferrari, just can’t afford one
Consider that people buy 1k monitors (s as in plural), 2k is not that out of reach for most people if they want it
Almost333 or just like nice cars dumbass
Gorgeous, gorgeous piece. I'd love to get in on this if I was financially able to, but to be fair, you're asking a community that responds best to "Best mechanical keyboards under $40!"
I wish Charles the best in selling these, it's seriously a pleasure to just observe this.
it's not very motivating for potential buyers to throw around heavy phrases like "financial disaster" but I appreciate the thought behind this video. the entire video was actually very well made, like some sophisticated short documentary. and giving him a stage to show his work and craftsmanship is something I want to see more of. thank you for this!
All this video is, is begging for a bailout for a failed company with a poor business model. Right off the top of my head I can think of a few ways to make this look and function exactly the same, yet cost much less money and take less time to build. He may be an artist, but he is NOT a business man. He should stick to art and let other people run businesses.
D Cheverie but the businesmans don't understand the artist, what he wants
pathengart Well, he's got to find someone to help him reduce the costs. Otherwise, he's gonna keep going broke and losing other people money.
pathengart Businessmen don't need to understand the artist if hes crazy and can't make anything worth selling (like this case).
imo it's a one off mod
To be honest, if I had the free cash for this, I'd totally buy one. Perhaps some day I will. This is a one of a kind masterpiece, and shows talent beyond the standards normally put on display. I love passion in attention to details. Thanks Linus for showing this off for us, and bringing attention to such an awesome creator.
This god damn case costs more than my pc
Bones Jones my current setup cost just over $500. EBay ftw.

Im just looking at these videos and thinking to myself, damn, I WANT A PC TOO 😭

Eplayer buy some ram and consider yourself mid project
Eplayer What do you have?
Meeee tooo exactly the same that’s why I watch these videos
'Linus makes an advert for his mate'
Is that a problem?
I will gladly watch these type of adverts even if it is 10 minutes long!!!
What Linus is trying to sell here is really the story behind the case more than anything else: it was meant to be an economical modding accessory project that got out of hand financially, and kept getting pushed way past the point of absurdity. If you're the kind of person to pick apart at how it was made or what it's made of, then it was never meant for you. It's for people who can see the value not just of how good the results look, but the story of what it went through and why it's the way it is. If Charles has had to get a cash bailout for all this, the project is pretty much past the point where even that eye-watering price can turn a profit. It's probably just enough for him to get set up with his next project/s.
You malign commenters here when you say they can't 'see the value' or can't appreciate the 'the story of what it went through and why it's the way it is'. Most understand both of those things, and appreciate the beauty of the case itself. But they either can't afford it (the majority of people can't), see no reason for the excessive price tag, or see no need for the case at all. And as someone said previously, if the case is more expensive than the actual computer parts inside it, .........
I certainly can't afford a case like this, and have no intention of ever getting something of this sort. But just stating that something wasn't targetted at me or a given demographic of people isn't the same as maligning people for just not being able to afford it. What I was responding to are some comments that DID malign the case for being a $2000 TJ07 mod and who outright said that people who liked the case were gullible suckers. That's the kind of condescension I was responding do.
heydavewhite :) Those who can afford it's price, certainly can afford way more expensive components. There are a couple of videos at the UnboxTherapy channel, also about a custom build PC with the price of almost $20, 000 US dollars, ten times that case, a PC that can run Fortnite on ultra at over 300fps. D
> If you're the kind of person to pick apart at how it was made or what it's made of, then it was never meant for you
Damn, that's a polite way to say that it's a piece of shit for rich idiots.
I can afford it easily, but that doesn't mean that I appreciate it. Yes, it looks nice, but it's more of a tale of what not to do when designing a commercial project than anything else. At the end of the day it's not 4x as good looking as other high end cases and while I guess it's an interesting look to not have fan frame rails on the top frames I don't see how cutting off the fan frame rails is something that justifies hundreds of dollars? Even accounting for all the manual labor this thing is absurdly overpriced.
Are they all sold? This is a complete work of art... A true masterpiece
There are 10 left (sold by Titanrig).
Bro they went ham on the editing this video was a feature film.
alish2001 add a comma you piece of fucking trash

Lowkey yee lol i like fkn around the comment section but naa i do the slappin i own a pc cuz christmas but my hands felt 3 faces cuz people like you dont really know what it is out here
finally someone builds a computer case thats timeless. I hate browsing through cases and thinking to myself
"Yeah in 7 years this is gonna look like total aids"
I want to see what he can do on a lian li pc 011 dynamic case, that hidden cd drive damn thats a good touch.
i just got my 011 dynamic case in the mail today. and i agree he could do some nice things with it.
That hidden optical drive will result in scratches on the optical disc. That design always have that problem. For someone that is supposed to know quality he sure seem not to know that detail.
Just spent half an hour looking at the pics of this beauty on his site. The intentionality and craftsmanship in his design are astounding, like nothing I've ever seen before in this industry.
Linus I bought it!!!! 0:10 I had to after you said took 7 years to create it. Now all I can afford in it is a Ryzen 2200G

Tell me how it is!
Bezi Hes joking
Bezi I'm kidding... I would only buy it if I could afford a high end of with it

This is only about Linus helping the dude out once again. (edit: I was thinking this before he confirmed that the dude broke af etc..) The case really shouldn't exist... overengineered overcomplicated simple "OK" case that is.
Awesome. He invented the lcd display backlight......
So much cringe with ignoramus linus saying it was proprietary... smh...
Yeah, that was a little bit weird, yes a good uninform light disipation is difficult to achieve but the description sounds way over the top
Saw thumbnail - not worth it!
Saw video - he needs to charge more!
Great product. For what OEM and prebuilt people charge for builds, the mans right, "good enough" wont cut it.
Dam the ending.
Right in the Feels
This is like an apple commercial meets interstellar
guy should work for Apple... he'd probably have a good future making HEAVILY overpriced "art"
05:15 Seriously, translucency is anything in between of Opaque and transparent. SO WTF IS SEMI TRANSLUCENT?
SHUSH! It sounds more mysterious and expensive.
Means translucent from one way but not the other ... depends on lighting just like the galss of skyscrapers : You can see from the inside but not from the outside ( well only if you dont stick your face on it )
Well, I think it's more opaque, than transparent? I mean, not in the middle between them, but 75% opaque and 25% transparent? If it's between those 2 states, then I'm not breaking any laws?))))
My only thought is if they added a simi-reflective layer to it. If you wanted a more uniform light level based off general brightness then I could see this actually helping even out the brightness based off ambient lighting without having to vary the actual brightness nor have an ambient light sensor. However, it's probably just marketing speak.
You can kinda see through it, but not really.
I appreciate you helping someone out who owes you nothing. Good on you, Linus.
Isn't the fan frame important?
I thought the frame is there to help create a vacuum as well as help stability and provide a sturdy mounting body.
My thoughts exactly. Why would Noctua go through the hassle of minimising the frame gap in their newest fans if it would be to no airflow improvement?
the frame only provides a directed specific pathway for air and closing the gap increases the pressure of the fan. Frames are totally useless for a general airflow fan...
Linus talked about that.
AlienFreak69 I thought it was there to prevent appendages from entering the danger zone.
computer fans are not dangerous mate. unless you're talking 220cfm delts
Bloody hell,that's a beautiful machine!
4:20 - A Zalman CNPS9700! With the backplate cracked into 4 pieces, I'm STILL using this amazing cpu-fan on a z270 ROC mobo
just realised, if you'd like the diffused white panel look, it's doable with a disused/ broken lcd monitor!
strip the screen panel down, bin the lcd layer and circuitry.
You'll be left with a something very similar, which you can cut to size!
What's with all the Sherlocks commenting about the price. Literally mentioned in the video itself that it's insanely priced and only crazy enthusiasts should buy it. It's a beautiful case with a history of painstakingly hard work which gave birth to some of the coolest case features like the under glow lighting, the gradient blood drip, stealth optical drive, etc. Get this case if you have the money and love this case and appreciate all the crazy stuff that went behind it. Don't need all you Sherlocks to tell us that you can build an entire PC for $2000.
Elementary, my dear Watson.
I just don't know why he's using what looks like ek SE rads. The top fans are cool though
Few points to make about this case:
The light panel basically is what is inside those cheap LED backlit monitors, but more aimed at frontal light than polarized light, it seems. He could have used one from these thin backlight panels.
The lighting effects _could_ have been accomplished by a single strip of acrylic with strategically made etching pattern and a diffuser.
The frameless fans are usually used in graphics cards, and are available in large quantities, but they are usually not the quietest fans. He could have ordered the custom fan from Noctua, Sunonwealth or other manufacturers instead of painstakingly modding the fans himself, though.
Everything seems just a bit too overengineered for its own good, *BUT!* BUT, it's a piece of an art. It's beautiful. If you own one, I'm sure it'll last a long time since it's so well-made. I actually like the looks of this case, but the making process and bill-of-material could have been slightly optimized to reduce the load and burden on himself, physically and financially. It's the point I'm trying to make.
6mm aluminum on its own is pricey now cut polish and etch then have it anodized... thats a good chunk in itself
and yeah there are other work arounds now, but was all this cheap and easily doable 7 years ago when this started, how long will it hold up? whats the diffusion differential in lumens through the case, will it be true white or will the acrylic cause a color distortion?
I think its great that its a nice strong AF case and its made more for water cooling with 2 fans to cool VRM with passive breeze and feed PSU some fresh air as well as drives, the real cooling is all H2O based for components .
It is truly an art piece, but its missing RGB in the front drips

I am not disagreeing with that -- I'm just suggesting ways to minimize the overall work overheads if he decides to make more. Oursourcing some parts of build process to China isn't all that bad (if and ONLY if you know where to look). Not everything has to be hand-made in-house. While, yes, I admit, it is beautiful in its own ways, puffing up advanced DIY project to full production scale without accounting for human resources and overheads only results in losses.
I really, really, really want him to succeed. I don't want him to fail. :(
If the process is not optimized fast enough, the next thing he will lose could be himself. This is unfortunately not a sustainable business.
I think the whole point is that they're made in house in low volumes, even if they made it cheaper then how many people do you actually think would spend for example £500 on a case? Not many people
funny how so many people have all these ideas too "make it better" when i bet none of them could do anything close to the quality of this case. Prolly have an old stripped down Gateway 2000 case still. SOOOOOO much hate. Its very strange how its projected on to others......hmmm....
Josh Needham they don't seem to see that maybe he couldn't have used an LCD, this isn't an "on a budget" hack up DIY oh look I've made a case. This is making a quality product from scratch
"The Core" looks like a led screen diffuser.
Well yea it’s 2k, but I’d rather spend 6k on a pc build with this case, rather than 6k on a Mac Pro that’s going to have worse parts and definitely a worse case.
$1,299 base case on titanrig. Maybe with all mods it’s $2K.
i would totally support this if i could. History
They’re acting like this dude invented the first flying car
This is so overkill to the point where it's a tank.
I can agree to that.
It's no tank... IT'S A LAND BATTLESHIP.
No one would have died in the Iraq war had the US Army known about this.
is it wierd that my favorite part is by far the optical drive LOL
WTF. I really enjoyed watching this.
Something is wrong with you.
So did I but I will still not pay 1200 USD for a PC case.

Where have I said that the video is not enjoyable ?
This was probably one of Linus's best videos. Very well done Linus Media Group.
That video production and quality is amazing.
friend:Why is your computer so expensive
me:You wouldnt get it
A thing of beauty.
Can't afford it, but considering how Mr. Charles but his all into it, I wish I could. SALUTE!!
Someone wanna sauce me a cool 2K?
DN KrYpT0nItE Sure. Send your bank details with the password to me and I'd be happy to send it to you.
Saurav Suresh Hahahaha, if he could send them to me too I'd also be giving him 1k :D
It is equivalent of my income tax return. So no.
you should move to a democrat state
Btw don't buy it if you live in the USSR
Pretty sad to see a such talented guy who went 110% end up in debt because the product didn't sold
But to be honest, what kind of person buys a 2000$ case ?
That's why it didn't sell. lol He's an artist, not a business man, clearly. He should stick to art. Like, the "custom lighting solution" for the bottom of the case, that could have been done MUCH cheaper for example. He chose the most expensive way to do EVERYTHING when building this. Not the best way. That was a big part of his problem.
But how will his case work with out custom made hex screws?
Darth Strakh By using standardized parts like an intelectual, he didn't need the custom screws, he wanted them
the Delorean analogy was so good, minus the fact that he didn't compromise. They both had great ideas that were financial disasters. The difference between this and Delorean is that Delorean made a terrible car, that wasn't what he promised (only beloved because of the back to the future movies) and this guy made a surprisingly innovative product that was everything he promised and more.
i normally watch at 720p but haha had to up to 1440p for this .the video quality on this is simply amazing !
Respect to Charles! That is a beautiful case. I'm really impressed.
I love people like this who are so incredibly passionate about their work and it astonishes me how they almost always make something amazing with their passion and work. I truly do hope he continues making terrific stuff like this and that he will get something back for all of that dedication and hard work.
Alucard Pawpad dude you have a problem... Just let it go... Yeah let it go. If people are saying it looks good, that's there right. You don't need to be such a douche.
Alucard Pawpad oh and if you're a socially awkward individual who enjoys attention...sigh... Go see a therapist
Nothing quite like seeing an artist's labor of love on display.
truly something special 🤗
I think the fan design is amazing! I'd love to see it more honestly
Watch someone buy the case and put a intel Celeron in it with 2 GB of RAM
or a raspberry PI
with that price that all i could afford
Blow the entire build budget on the case and a celeron is what you can afford lol
really that case cost more than my pc and I have 1700x 16gb ram and a rx480
Amazing video you should do more showcases like this
I see your pun there
"This video isn't sponsored"
"BLUE APRON!"
That's a misquote.
@@reanetsemoleleki8219 "That's a disquote."
WOW! That's art.
This is expensive, though beautiful and handcrafted. I would say it's worth the money.
probably one of the same people that think a 10 million dollar NY city apartment is worth it. :|
You can say that something is worth the money, if you praise it highly.
@@ammotorsport9480 Well, being people want to live in New York City. Yes, yes they would pay that price. As they refuse to attempt to beat the price down. Yet this is HANDMADE and has INNOVATIONS that you do not see on the market. This is beyond living in some cramped overprice box in New York.
@@ammotorsport9480 Sometime money doesn't see that things are worthy or not.. Handcrafted pieces obviously come with a price tag.. Even I'm the guy who fight on 1 buck for actually surely would buy this Case if I had money.. Arts need appreciation..
That's a sick look, but most of those two grands end up in appearance and assembly. Not saying it's wrong, but I'm more a "function over aesthetics" type of guy. I'd prefer to get a 200$ case and increase my components budget by the 1.8k$ I'd save.
Fair enough, but this is one of those things that you have to appreciate the sheer ambition and commitment to making such a work of art... exist.
Sure, I am not getting one... I likely never will, but I am not going to fault Charles for the pure passion that it takes to make this case.
This ain't the kind of case you buy if money is a limiting factor.
That's true. And the final result is simply beautiful.
Pacman's Revenge $200 is still too much for me 😂 I'd rather just spend $30-$50 for a functional case. (or a $10 rosewill case that I got at a thrift store)
I personally don't understand the whole aesthetics nonsense for a computer. In a vehicle that you can drive around town I can understand. Some people like to be noticed driving down the road. But for a computer that just sits in a bedroom floor getting dust sucked into its vents never made sense to me. idk
the light bar on the bottom is basically just a side lit led monitor panel without the lcd layer, so just the light destribution and guiding layers so that it shines to the front, DIY Perks has some nice videos showing how to convert broken lcd Panels to "fake windows" which light up the room evenly in front making the illsuion its a window where the light comes from behint the pnael itself and shines through it.
this could easily maded into other cases with just cutting these distribution layers to size and attacking side lighting leds, could even work with rgb leds :D
