not only that, but to get good Z790 M.ITX motherboard you would need to shell out at least 200$ premium, instead you can get micro ATX mobo for 200$ less with same chipset (z790) and call it a day. this case has all benefits of micro ITX build while still allowing you to use big components and saves you money on motherboard and powersupply (no need to use more expensive SFF PS). its also future proof case! you can put huge 4000 series grafix card and it has 4 PCI Bracket slots (new high end grafix cards are 3 slots now!!). also, support for 360mm rads and up to 170mm power supplies is amazing. this case basicly gives you all options what other cases in same segment do now, thus making you spend more money on expensive MOBO or power supplies.. amazing!!
You made the right decision, those little details is what makes you the different from the rest. I fall love with your channel, I join recently and can’t watching your videos. Love the content, keep it coming. 👏👍
Ive seen that in person and it is small compared to average sized towers and in case you didnt listen right its a MicroATX Case, not an ITX case. It's even smaller than my Define Mini C which is already smaller than an average sized tower. If you want ITX content, go watch ITX content.
Nice video! Small feedback: PSU fan is not an intake, you can do put a 80/120mm in the front or a 3rd one in the bottom as intake if you go with 240/280 aio + SF PSU. In your setup Its likely better to have rear as intake to compensate.
Just wanted to let you know I just finished my son’s pc this past weekend and used your cdkey code for windows 11 👍. So far so good. For sure taking time to get use too.
OCD with my wife so I learned 35 years ago that I would only put the 360 AIO in the system. Caution almost all power supplies have a max rating of 125 Watts per cable and yours calls for 2 cables and your 3080 can use 300 watts that's 250 Watts plus the max motherboard of 75 watts total 325 watts using a pigtail from one cable only gives you 200 Watts and the pigtail will give you more BUT you may over heat the cable and melt/ short the power supply or damage/catch on fire your system.
Like you, I want every build to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. But with the 12900k pulling as many watts and getting as hot as it does I feel that having the best cooling solution, regardless of size (where applicable), is more important overall.
There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. Keep moving…🙏🏽
i honestly prefer to go the perfectionist way, as in tweaking little things suck as cable management or aio size, its just a better feeling in the end when you turn it on and you know how much hard work you put into every thing
I just built a new pc and I love the stealth look it has. I have the NZXT H510 Flow which has a tinted glass panel and only rgb comes from my 3070 ti and trident ram.
You mad the right choice with the 360mm Rad, I have a 240 in a slot that can take a 360, and I had to hide it behind all the fans to make it look clean
the cooler is design for the tubing to go to the bottom so that you have landscape screen instead of portrait, that is why the tubing is so long. and apparently those were better for the cooling too
this case would be great if there is an sff psu support to mount in the bottom front. then mount a fan in the front for in-take for users who loves cpu air-cooling.
Clean build. You'll do fine with Windows 11. I've been using it since launch, and have yet to experience a crash or anything I'd consider buggy aside from a few instances of settings not sticking, and that seems to be pretty random and not often enough to truly bug me.
Agreed, been using it since launch and i have not experienced any issues except file explorer freezing once or twice... I much prefer it from windows 10
dude it's always the small things, the least important details bother you the most. i totally get that and i think we have to feed our perfectionist personally.😄 the best thing is, not let it take control of us
would have changed the rad for sure as well... i rebuilt my system 10 times probably, until i was happy! First ever build, msi tomahawk z690, 32gb ddr5 5600mhz dominator ram, i5 12400f (its gonna be a 13700k later) 240 galahad aio, 6 lian li extra fans on top and bot, in a lian li o11 air mini... removed the stock fans and completed it with a rtx 3080 founders for that slick all toghether look! its all black with some nice rgb!
Great looking case, nice build. thank you for entertaining. Good idea switching to the 360mm AIO looks better. You could have also stuck a fan in that space with the 240mm, might not have looked as appealing though. And thank you for the windows 11 pro discount keys, at the store they can run for around 259.00$ CND. Dude build any computer and I'll be satisfied watching.
Killing it with case reviews. First the early lancool 3 review and now the ap201. Have only seen Chinese reviews on this case, so glad you put this out!
Love the setup, love the build, love the video, I like how you talk us thru your build, highlighting the mistakes along the way so that we don't make them if we were to copy this build. Don't be so hard on yourself, you did great! Thanks for uploading TS
Such a better choice with your the 360mm rad. I was thinking, as soon as I saw you tyring to place the 240mm in there, that space and tubing would drive me crazy. The 360mm looked more complete and at the end of the day offers better thermals for a demanding chipset.
The next case to build in would me my case :D (well doesn't hurt to wish that it happens). I am always watching pc builds but never had the means to build myself one. I am still using my 5 year old laptop but the experience of having a gaming pc would be just fantastic i bet. Love your content as always! Love From Mauritius Island ^^
It is a beautiful looking case - something about it has made me look at downsizing my motherboard. Might also give me a reason to upgrade my 3800x to a 5900x.
This build is so clean and the cable management *mwah* so clean. Love ur vids always and i wanna see more of setup wars content. All love from Philippines!
Wow i was actually going to buy a micro build in the future and i wondered how it would look like. Thank you for posting this video, I learned a couple bee things too. As always its a pleasure to see a new video of yours. Have a great day 👋
Thanks for making this video the way you did, including some mistakes and the decision about the 240 vs 360 AIO. I'm working on building this case, and ordered a 240 AOI. Also, loved how you removed the panel you didn't need to remove for the PSU - thanks for being human!
Man, if they only had some type of document available that would explain in like, a step by step format, how to access the power supply area. That'd be pretty helpful I think.
Hey TechSource can you do another budget PC build as the last one was over 2 years ago would love to see an updated version with all the drop in prices on GPUs. Much love love the content
Bruh did you catch what he said at the beginning? he can cram big powerful components inside such a tiny body "something he often does on the weeknights" 😂 😂
I didn't know Frenchie quit the Boys and now is into pc building.
For real lol, I’ve been trying to think of where I’ve seen this guy before 😂
Really love the recent move to M-ATX cases. Such an underrated form factor. Still somewhat compact without many of the shortcomings off mini itx
not only that, but to get good Z790 M.ITX motherboard you would need to shell out at least 200$ premium, instead you can get micro ATX mobo for 200$ less with same chipset (z790) and call it a day.
this case has all benefits of micro ITX build while still allowing you to use big components and saves you money on motherboard and powersupply (no need to use more expensive SFF PS).
its also future proof case!
you can put huge 4000 series grafix card and it has 4 PCI Bracket slots (new high end grafix cards are 3 slots now!!).
also, support for 360mm rads and up to 170mm power supplies is amazing.
this case basicly gives you all options what other cases in same segment do now, thus making you spend more money on expensive MOBO or power supplies..
amazing!!
and much cheaper than building mini itx 🤣
Underrated? Dude just because you just noticed doesnt mean its underrated. Its been popular for 15 years now welcome to PC building?
Most office pcs are matx builds

The 240 would also bother me, the 360 looks so much better and more symmetrical, nice build man! It looks so clean!
yep, same here, when you do a build you got to do it perfect to your spec, no shortcuts
@@pitech4446 agreed
That case definitely needed 360.
My asus z11 the 240 fits perfectly asus with asus parts helps also lol
I agree it makes the case feel and look weird
I don’t feel well and I am going through a hard stage in life right now. Thanks for making us happy. Please keep going, you’re a hero Ed!❤️
Bro that was the worst attempt I’ve seen in a while
You are not hard on yourself. You are just brave enough to do what others are scared of imagining. Much love Edgar, HUGE fan!!
Everybody on the server was clowning me for building in a micro atx build a couple weeks ago. Now I doubt they will. Nice video as always man!
This is a big matx case. Ty for review I didn't realize how big it was. Nice build crazy how it can fit full size components. Looks easy to build in.
"Something I often do on weeknights" got me

dudeeeeeeeee 3.5 mil subs wtf ! i havent watched since you was on 50k. i never expected this amount of growth so quickly. congrats
like before ryzen ,before 10 series
I just built a new pc and I love the stealth look it has. I have the NZXT H510 Flow which has a tinted glass panel and only rgb comes from my 3070 ti and trident ram.
I’m glad you switched to the 360, that was the right move!
See edgar is just so genuine and cares for his content and others He took the time to fix it completely for another person
The 360mm Rad was a must. The 240mm would of drive me nuts looking at it.
I love small formfactor stealthy build and being perfectionist is not bad. btw I would love to see nzxt h1 v2 case build
The 360 rad was definitely the right choice. It looks so much better.
Awesome vid the case looks great with no rgb, super excited for the custom setup that that will be in
holy crap the 3 fan radiator looks way nicer in there. it fills the case and made the build imo.
The no-rgb approach actually makes it cleaner in a way
You mad the right choice with the 360mm Rad, I have a 240 in a slot that can take a 360, and I had to hide it behind all the fans to make it look clean
I got mine from 👆👆they sell the best you could ever need
"So cable management is gonna be a bit ch...allenging"
Idk if that was intentional but it made my day
The 240mm aio bothered me, there was just that empty space that could have been taken up. If I was in your shoes Ed I would do the same thing.
Love these builds man, keep up the good work
love the vids and cant w2ait for BigRed v4 to be finished!
the cooler is design for the tubing to go to the bottom so that you have landscape screen instead of portrait, that is why the tubing is so long. and apparently those were better for the cooling too

so much power in such a small case, very cool
the 360mm rad looks way better ed & don't feel bad for being ocd & needing it to look good dude! love your builds for that reason!
I love your builds they always look so clean.
I loved this intro. Approved ✅
great call on the 360 mm it looks so much better
Great to see you are doing well Ed.
Was worried after seeing your tweet.
the 360mm is much better visually ! well done
Clean build. You'll do fine with Windows 11. I've been using it since launch, and have yet to experience a crash or anything I'd consider buggy aside from a few instances of settings not sticking, and that seems to be pretty random and not often enough to truly bug me.
Agreed, been using it since launch and i have not experienced any issues except file explorer freezing once or twice... I much prefer it from windows 10
You definitely got a new editor, right?
New videos are lookin spicy 😍
I'm glad that you decided to go with the 360 because that 240 was going to struggle and failed to keep that 12900 cool under pressure.
those case fans are looking so good wow
dude it's always the small things, the least important details bother you the most. i totally get that and i think we have to feed our perfectionist personally.😄
the best thing is, not let it take control of us
You should do show some love to itx builds. They waste a lot less space and perform just as well, they also look amazing
Another clean pc build as always
would have changed the rad for sure as well... i rebuilt my system 10 times probably, until i was happy! First ever build, msi tomahawk z690, 32gb ddr5 5600mhz dominator ram, i5 12400f (its gonna be a 13700k later) 240 galahad aio, 6 lian li extra fans on top and bot, in a lian li o11 air mini... removed the stock fans and completed it with a rtx 3080 founders for that slick all toghether look! its all black with some nice rgb!
msi board = already a good job, lol nice build
you made right choice about cooler.
Another awesome build Ed!
I rock 11 its pretty cool somethings are harder to access such as graphic settings but others are easier such as Bluetooth
Great looking case, nice build. thank you for entertaining. Good idea switching to the 360mm AIO looks better.

the 360 mm was a good choice it was also bugging me out
Killing it with case reviews. First the early lancool 3 review and now the ap201. Have only seen Chinese reviews on this case, so glad you put this out!
Ud think these punchlines get old but they never do 😂
You should do a build video on the cooler master NR200P
This build looks awesome. Love all the mesh on the case.
Awesome and the 360 was surely better

How do you pick out random people to makeover their setup?
Edgar really be out here talkin his shit😂🤣 I feel like Ed really be crammin shit in the bedroom you have my respect brotha✊🏽
looks way better the way you did it

nice pc i liked the fact about can get anything in especially can get 360 aio and i think the person who gets it will be happy
360mm AIO definitely the way to go. Not only is it aesthetically better, but 360mm AIO would provide better cooling for the 12900K.

i like this video it shows everything i worry about with building my pc at least im not the only one
ED is it okay to plug the 8pin to dual 8pin to the RTX 3080 ? Some says its required to plug 2 separate 8pins so the cables don't get overload !
Such a cool pc i wish i had one like it but i only have a garbage pc that only register 40 fps
I got mine from 👆👆they sell the best you could ever need
nah man.. your not paranoid... im also like that. so dont worry 😄 an u made it a super clean build as always.
Could someone help me find out where does the fans point towards (which one intake, which one outtake?)
Nah bro, the larger AIO looks SOOO much cleaner. Good call my man
