this case needs an even basic version, without the glass but a well ventilated side panel for those that don't care about lights n stuff or seeing inside but having the performance..
@@ElGoogKO I wish it shipped with an optional panel like the back. I agree, I don't really get the RGB bit. Especially if it doesn't run off the MB. It's faff, and I think, it looks a little silly to me - like the builder is wasting money that could quite possibly, make the PC faster, better and/or stronger than it is. If it's their thing, then go for it but it doesn't accomplish anything. Sometimes, it can make it run hotter by creating internal turbulence and eddies/hot spots. Being different - to me - still has value to individuals.
Im doing something similar soon. Moving my current atx build to a matx in this case. ASRock B550M PG RIPTIDE 5800X Gigabyte 3070 vision 16gb ram Thermalright peerless assassin And unfortunately a non modular atx psu
@@gunnadair - yeah, I recycled a non modular as you saw. I used it today, got the label (program) up there, setting up UPS to print just the label to the 4x6. It's working well. I was going to, maybe I did, do a video on the fans (number, placement, etc.) and it's - I think effectively silent at idle and the roaster and related software are not demanding so even working it's quiet. I hope you enjoy your case as much as I do. I think it's (getting to be rare as hen's teeth) a case actually worth the money. I think there are some cheaper cases but there's none of the "Erector Set" building of the case like so many iTX cases and a little smaller than similar mATX cases. One thing I didn't show, you know these things can get so long, the bracket I hung the SATA SSD can take 2. On the interim PC while I wait to finish the custom loop upstairs, I pulled the new 240GB Team group ($17 on Amazon), and replaced it downstairs with a Crucial T500 I think it was. So, I imaged the 8 year old 120GB on to the 240 and both are inside the Jonsplus. I had a disk utility say the health of the old drive was 64%. I have not had any errors on it, it doesn't look like it was having any errors logged - I think the utility just rated it down because of 8 years of Powered Up time. Since both are system drives, I left the old mounted - just unplugged it. M.2s are the way to go if your PG can take one. But if you don't have a drive to periodically back all your data and stuff, the older and slower SATA SSDs are pretty cheap. I have a Peerless Assassin on the 12th gen z90 PG down, and in that one a Phantom Spirit SE. I can't really compare the two coolers, as you know Assassin is 6 pipe and the Spirit is 7. I rather suspect they added an extra heat pipe because the Phantom Spirit has less fun area at the bottom for more room for DRAM or I/IO heatsink clearance. For anyone who may read our thread, if they haven't made a decision on an air cooler, that little "what's the difference between" question might be helpful. I am pretty "function first (style second)" kind of guy. I almost wish I got the orange and black to sorta look like it was made for the roaster. But at the time - I was ill as a wet hornet that whole week/or two - whatever it was. But yes, thanks for the comment. And good luck assembling. Just don't forget that the PSU bracket has to come out to slide out the upper fan tray.
