[@Ladioz]

Thank god you mentioned how horrible it is to remove the front panel. Surely German engineers could come up with a way to remove it easier? I never even went to school and I would probably make the front panel magnetic or slide of sideways.... I love everything about this case (I HAVE IT)

[@TechHunterOfficial]

😂 Maybe we both just have noodle arms compared to the Germans

[@Ladioz]

@@TechHunterOfficial Quick question. Do you prefer Light Wings or Silent Wings 4 please? airflow/silence

[@mohamedayman7396]

I got this case for less than 100 euros! Love it. sure somethings are a hassle but it's only minor and nothing you will have to do often and for 100 euros I got nice RGB and high quality fans, can't complain

[@TechHunterOfficial]

Especially when the price of the fans is probably 100 euros 😂

[@Troynex]

@@TechHunterOfficial is the case big enough for a Dark rock Elite and rtx 4080 super or should i Go with 800fx?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

It would be tight if I'm honest. It's a nice case, but just outdated for the size of the newer components

[@Troynex]

@@TechHunterOfficial Thank you! So you would Go With 800fx or is that case too big ?

[@chookpanquan9172]

Hi is this case a good deal for 63 USD brand new?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

😂 Insane value for 63 USD

[@chookpanquan9172]

@@TechHunterOfficial that's what I thought, thanks!

[@nobodyneedstoknow128]

Cases in this bracket don't even come with fans...or useless throw away fans...

[@Mulllan]

What is the best case you recommend under $100? Including fans too

[@TechHunterOfficial]

I haven't reviewed them - but they are in the studio right now. The Montech Air 903 Max and Deepcool CH560 look seriously good for cases that include a lot of high quality fans.

[@Mulllan]

​@TechHunterOfficial they look great and would suit my white build but they're all over €100 for where I live

[@roythunderplump]

@@TechHunterOfficial Those cases you mentioned look really well designed. And not too expensive in Blighty compared to other regions of the world.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

You said under $100 so I checked newegg. What country are you in?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

I've got the CH560 in white. That should look really nice when built

[@dobuddy19]

Just picked this case up brand new on fb marketplace for $30

[@TechHunterOfficial]

😂 Great price!

[@RyanSMiles123]

I recognise that backing song 👀

[@TechHunterOfficial]

If you know, you know 😂

[@martinrakovicky1189]

I have the exact problem with internal USB connection with crosshair VIII dark hero (connector is sideways) and fractal design meshify 2 compact....

[@TechHunterOfficial]

On a really high end board like that, you'd think there would be 2 of them at least!

[@martinrakovicky1189]

Yeah, it is a shame. I have to purchase some cable extension for that usb header. but I am a bit worried about transfer speeds and stability. I will report my findings later@@TechHunterOfficial

[@inelliesworld6667]

Great video 😊

[@TechHunterOfficial]

Thanks for watching

[@RyanSMiles123]

Defo a weak little baby 😂
