    I’m positive this desk setup idea I used off of you saved my life and my wallet tonight. No joke. I used to have all the cables on the floor. When it rains heavy the room my setup is in floods sometimes and I kid you not where my wires used to be was tonight was super flooded. I’m sure if it wasn’t for you I would have fried my systems or worse, electrocuted myself getting to unplug something. Crazy.

    I suggest Velcro over zip ties, because if you need to re plug something, zip ties need to be cut and thrown away, but Velcro can just be reused. Great video, and this kind of things are so worth watching, and you feel somehow nicer, don't know how to explain it.

    Really enjoy your videos, especially the small case builds. I am interested in purchasing the raijintek thetis for my rig. I know that you reviewed the sytx, it's matx cousin, and the mini itx version. I'm a bit concerned about airflow. It looks pretty limited, but optimum tech has had luck with intake at the back and exhaust up top in small cases, which I might end up doing if I get it. Currently rocking an first gen i7 870 and a GTX 1050 ti. Wanted to know if you would recommend it and your thoughts on the cases lineup. Thanks in advance for the help!
