Can you guys test placing 16V DC capacitors inline with PCIe power cable 12V power to see if it stops transient power spikes from triggering PSU OCP/OPP?
Steve and Patrick should make love to each other live on stream. You can tell there is a deep, deep untapped passion between those two that needs, yeah, begs to be explored and publicized. Do not fear that which lays inside you, Steve... The Gayman's Nexus. Patrick shouldn't' feel fear, because Steve doesn't exactly have size on his side.
Yeah tank engineers do watch this channel, or at least the ones who enjoy building PCs! For $500 I think they did an alright job on the design of the case. I don't think the steel would be very effective in even stopping a swift kick from a pissed-off foot soldier, but that's okay. It won't see deployment anyway. Unless the military want a cost-effective IFV that can be manufactured quickly.
Re: revisions for thermals without ditching the "cool" factor 1. Lose the tempered glass everywhere. 2. 3x120mm/140mm fan mounts on the top of the turret, where the commander and gunner's hatch would be. Yes it'll be bigger, but you're already not gonna easily fit this one on most desks vs a regular case, might as well go all-in on the tank-ness. 3. Ensure there's enough space to either flank (and again, ditch the glass on the treads) as to fit at least a 3x 25mm fan and 38mm radiator. 4. Change the PSU mount so that you can mount fans as intakes ie look like the wheels for the treads without countering the case airflow. As it is the PSU exhaust is blowing counter to any intakes on the other "tread." Like stand it up and have the exhaust pointing down (ie no glass, who's gonna see the cables). Or mount it vertically with the exhaust pointing to the rear (even if half the height will still be inside the case). 5. Have a non-NATO+Israel+SoKor design ie smaller and more squashed turret. Only one "turret hatch" 120mm fan, squashed turret, mITX board, only 2x140mm on the "treads" but still fit 25mm+30mm (plus of course some space for the end of the rad), SFX PSU mount on the turret next to the exhaust 'hatch.' ------ Re: the RV02 and similar cases, 1. Are you reviewing the Alta F1? It's a revision of the old Fortress FT05, now with a rad mount technically sort of outside the case (it's on top outside the main chamber)? Standardized review and then maybe a custom loop build on it but dish out the numbers ie temps for it at the same normalized noise levels as with the standard test system but now with different CPU+GPU on two 360mm rads? silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/ALTAF1/ 2. There's a new manufacturer making cases like these Silverstones: Geometric Future. Any chance these will be reviewed too? Model 8 has the power supply next to the CPU so there are side intakes for the graphics card (and whether it's worth getting this just to get intake fans there vs just using the bottom intakes), Model 6 has the power supply to the other side but there are fan mounts along the CPU side. www.geometricfuture.com/product-1.html?classid=1
Loved the video! This might sound not much like a "weird" case idea, but as someone who has worked in the industry for over 10 years, my favorite case of all time (yes this includes even excellent modern cases) has easily been the Rosewill Thor V2. It's somewhat of an older case, but it is possible to get it NOS in some places. It would be super interesting to hear your take on how an old premium case is to use today. I absolutely love this case, I just bought one brand new off Newegg, and it's probably one of the best cases for SSIEB / E-ATX. It was meant for SLI, has excellent *massive* 140mm / 230mm stock fans, plenty of expansion, surprisingly-decent cable management, and what is in my opinion a very subdued look considering the time period it came out from. It's still modern with USB 3.0, and could be an excellent option for people with truly monolithic builds (such as myself) who are looking for a case that's not just "black rectangle with glass" and would much-rather have the airflow and expansion at all costs. Also as someone who still uses front expansion bays, there really is not a lot of options available (unless you only need one, and even then), and this case is one of the few that does not sacrifice on cooling to achieve this, which is one of many reasons why I love this case. Overall, definitely not as externally-wacky like the tank, but should still be quite an interesting experience. It's actually impressive just how much it can still achieve with modern hardware, and it definitely brings advantages to the table that even modern PC cases could pick up on and learn from, so I think it's a good possibility. Let me know if you need help sourcing one :)
My first build was in the HAF XM the little brother of the HAF X a full tower case that looked like the Thor V2. I ran SLI in for a few years until the 1000 series Nvidia cards came out and SLI died. Still have the case but its sitting in the shed. I moved my pc innards to a Cooler Master H500. R5 5600, RX6800XT. I kind of miss SLI.
@@iddan1205 SLI was such a wild time. I love it. The interesting thing is that the cases that were meant for SLI rigs still to this day have excellent cooling, great cable management, and a lot of other really-nice options. Because SLI required so much cooling, so much space, and so many cables, the best cases from that time period really are excellent to use still, and they offer such a unique look over the cases of today. RIP SLI, but SLI cases can still kick it!
@@xPLAYnOfficial True I hope to build in the case again. Love the side 200mm fan for the GPU cooling. I just hope AMD will bring it back on a single GPU like old days (never had a xx90 ATI GPU). I started with Intel and Nvidia, but AMD is moving forward like crazy 🤣. Although if Intel and Nvidia get it together, I'll be happy. 🙏
@@xPLAYnOfficial SLI was such a short-lived time. I almost built a system with two housefires (GTX 480) back then, but thankfully cancelled. Imo the best part about EATX is the amount of hard drive bays and caddies you usually get; it's very easy to repurpose an old machine into some sort of NAS. Though the downsides are very clear; finding a place for it is annoying and it's terrible moving them around. At least dual GPUs are at least making a comeback somewhat in the vfio space. For those who want to game on VMs.
@@silvershines Very true, but the benefit of PC cases that were meant for SLI means that they were meant to handle high heat loads and lots of cables, something single-GPU builds are easily approaching, especially with the Nvidia 4000 series' reported TDPs.
Had the sides been vented it would of given the image of an actual treads on a tank and probably better airflow. Hard to believe that having good airflow in a pc case is such a difficult concept to apply lol
@@ACE112ACE112 "would of" works if you consider the probable speech pattern of the person writing it. When I say "would have" it sounds like "would of"
yes, it needed to be twice as long so it could house 6 80mm fans on each side, one sucking air in and the other side venting. Would have been awesome. Still, probably more armoured than a Russian tank I guess!

A tank case would be a lot cooler if the tank could actually move and drive around. I'm not sure why but looking at it, I got this crazy idea of a mobile type case in the shape of a hanging fish that 'swims' in the air which uses a micro projector to show the screen. It should be moving the whole time like it was swimming. Not practical at all, I know, but the idea just popped into my head as I saw that dumb looking tank case.
I don't have a tank case but have a 1/6th scale RC car hummer that I converted into a custom case.🤭 It's almost done just need to drill holes in the motherboard plate, but keep putting it on the back burner for other projects.
5 1/4 bays! Yeah, those can make a ton of sense. I have one that takes up three of those slots for a five-bay hot swappable HDD enclosure and I love it. :)
Just a heads up if you decide to run a 3090 ti in this case the 12 pin connector will not fit under the glass. Also dual 360 radiators will fit but you need to move the side glass panels out with spacers to improve airflow. Other than that the case is super cool to work in. And is seriously awesome.
late to the party. would buy this for approximately 300 eur. this is frickin awesome. don't need the glass though. instead lets add tracks and maybe make it actually move. this is going on my bucket list of things to build from wood or 3d printing it. awesome idea!!! why i watch your channel; often for entertainment, but you're also my main source for accurate and reliable(!) information. also watching a few others like jay and paul for cross checking, ltt mostly for entertainment and the makerstuff

as a ZFS dev i'm privy to things most others might not be, but the name "tank" was a thing from the Sun ZFS documentation, where all of the machine and disk pool names were characters from The Matrix film.
I think it would look more industrial with mesh or something where the glass is. Even though tanks only have vents or grills behind the turret, at the back, it would still look better and breathe better with the glass area all mesh.
would be really cool if they made the engine deck big enough to mount a radiator into it and designed it to not only look like tank not also properly resembles one
I really wish you guys would review the DarkFlash Phantom Black pc case! It’s a beautiful case with 4 120mm fans in front 2 rear exhaust fans etc and 3 glass panels ! I have this case and recommend it!
Interesting thing if that case exterior is really entirely made of brass is that brass, like copper is a great material for blocking radio waves. So it's a natural faraday cage. I would suggest not installing an antennaless wifi adaptor in there.

I'd be interested to see a build in the Thermaltake Tower 500 or 900 (or even the 100 if you're willing to do an ITX build). I personally have the Tower 100 with an ITX setup (12600K, 3070Ti, 32GB DDR5), and really like it after making some improvements to the stock cooling setup.
Tanks Steve lian li did a train case once upon a time that would be interesting I guess might be hard to "track" down but also there was a very expensive spherical case that was on sale in a lot of places but didn't look too great for airflow and room inside a lot of wasted space a "round" often wondered how it would perform but also what could warrant the huge price tag both would probably be difficult to find anyway good stream thanks for the entertainment
Theoretically you can have no diff between a simulated sine wave -vs- a "real' sine wave. "Real" sines generated by rotating a rotor through a stator naturally creates a sine wave. Depending on the cost / quality your natural sine wave a synthetic wave could be cleaner. A motor or generator also introduces impedance and noise, if your spending for quality a well designed sine wave generator will create a cleaner signal.
Yes build Jay a boat PC that would be awesome a carrier chassis if they have it from WWII era or something that will fit a micro at mini ITX, just thought. great video BTW.

Heros of might and magic!!! I grew up playing 2! I still have the ripped disk my uncle gave me but i just bought it off of gog for like $5. Awesome game
I reckon you could leave the tread glass off and put a row of fans on either side with grills and this'd look pretty sick. With a custom loop it could work, but not for $500 lmao.
Would be good if you could work out some kind of warehouse or distribution colocation / 3PL supplier. Shipping fees from GN to New Zealand is also prohibitively expensive. Makes the value proposition unworkable when they tack on a 50% fee on top of the product price. Meanwhile shipping from China to here costs like 50c to $2 (far cheaper than domestic shipping for the same size/weight) because our representatives got straight up played back in the day... and it apparently hasn't occurred to anyone that the deals should be renegotiated.
I imagine those side glass pieces are for when you don't want to mount radiators there. Haven't watched most of this just yet, but I think it would look best without the panels there and instead some fat radiators. (fans mounted inside)

The USA T95 prototype actually used glass armor. It was a special glass core between two steel plates. I really doubt the case creators knew about it though;)
@@wom_Bat It was first gen composite armor circa 1954. It worked very well based on the public numbers. It was not the only radically new technology though on the prototype just about everything was new tech. Particularly the smooth bore gun with tungsten carbide rounds & X type diesel engine.
@@alt5494 youtuber and former tanker the chieftain has talked about it. The X motor and optical rangefinder were both discarded due to performance, and the accuracy of the smooth bore gun failed performance tests. After 9 years the project was scrapped. A few hulls were used as prototype T118E1 with diffrent engines and turrets. Later leading to the M728 with Paton tank hulls. No T95 or their hulls ever went into service. Pretty much every aspect of the project couldn't perform. It was a failed design. 0 of it's tech was actually used in any design.
@@wom_Bat Failure in experimental programs is of widely misunderstood value. When well documented it is of enormous value. The difference between thousands of possible solutions & a few dozen possibilities being the ideal choice. T95 yielded date on multiple engines including gas turbine, numerous mainguns (90mm 105mm 120mm), & torsion bar/drive components. If I remember correctly the only flaw in glass composite armor was the difficulty in field repairs. If a modular approach had been implemented it had potential.
@@alt5494 none of the features passed trials or were put into production beyond limited runs for testing. It was a paper tank like the Armata 14 is. You can dig up a lot of cool things well before their time that failed. I'll try to find the chieftain episode where he tears this tank apart in a AMA episode. The hull had to be replaced if damaged which is expensive. You do see some fiberglass turrets but that's because they are more often replaced then hulls. The tank used silica glass. It's better then the ceramic we use now in theory. The glass silica is harder then steel but also much more brittle and would shatter where hit and crack up all around the section hit. The only thing to really come from that project was the concept of composit armor using silicone, which was fairly new.
oh yeah :) here in the netherlands the Azza cube is a major hype, i like the case but was wondering,it`s also a weird case with some weird things,would ya test that one :) would be cool
I would prefer a minature working armored tank with a 50 caliber semi auto cannon I could use for security patrol of my property... Make one of those and I will be impressed. 🙂
can`t you replace the top tempered glass,with a nice metal mesh one (make it the same size of course) that would give more for the air flow instead of a full close tempered glass at top :) put the canon/top on it again and tadada more air...
Crazy idea for a video that's be crazy and get a lot of views maybe a new wave and big sponsors for you. Could you put a water cooling system with a external reservoir for the fluid since they run hotter than your dream wive in your favorite birthday suit.

late to the party. would buy this for approximately 300 eur. this is frickin awesome. don't need the glass though. instead lets add tracks and maybe make it actually move. this is going on my bucket list of things to build from wood or 3d printing it. awesome idea!!!
why i watch your channel; often for entertainment, but you're also my main source for accurate and reliable(!) information. also watching a few others like jay and paul for cross checking, ltt mostly for entertainment and the makerstuff
Love your integrity, sense of humor and in-depth knowlege
I always enjoy your content as I continue to learn something new from you even though I've been building my own systems for over 40 years. Thank you!
patrick: "i don't know how we got the reputation as people that will buy elaborate novelty cases off of aliexpress"
steve: "yeah so this one i tried to buy twice"
I'd be seriously tempted to put rads on both sides but only hook up the fans on one side just for the looks and the added air intake (or exhaust)
as a ZFS dev i'm privy to things most others might not be, but the name "tank" was a thing from the Sun ZFS documentation, where all of the machine and disk pool names were characters from The Matrix film.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who leaves the videos playing while I sleep. I set up a list of 4 or 5 longer videos and usually pass out by video 2
I think it would look more industrial with mesh or something where the glass is. Even though tanks only have vents or grills behind the turret, at the back, it would still look better and breathe better with the glass area all mesh.
Gpu risers are generally rated for 75w at 6.25a so that's 12v but the PCIe slot does provide 3.3v. RAM uses 3.3v
Hilarious that they added some barrel flash in the thumbnail xD tank case be shooting
I am slightly disappointed the barrel isn't an air intake.
would be really cool if they made the engine deck big enough to mount a radiator into it and designed it to not only look like tank not also properly resembles one
I really wish you guys would review the DarkFlash Phantom Black pc case! It’s a beautiful case with 4 120mm fans in front 2 rear exhaust fans etc and 3 glass panels ! I have this case and recommend it!
Got to come back and finish the stream! It's nice to see you guys having fun making content!
Interesting thing if that case exterior is really entirely made of brass is that brass, like copper is a great material for blocking radio waves. So it's a natural faraday cage.
I would suggest not installing an antennaless wifi adaptor in there.
When I saw 'tank case', my thought was that someone was reusing an old fish tank. Not...military tank.
Looked soo good with the camo cover off the top when doing the peel.
Also this stream is hilarious 😆
I never noticed until now but your carpet looks like a greyscale version of the PDX airport pattern. I'm a fan.
G'day Steve, Andrew & Patrick,
Sad I missed the Stream live due to sleeping here in Australia, but will still be fun to watch late 😁
For the Fans on the Rads in the Track Area I think some be quiet! Light Wings or In Win Sirius Loop Fans set to Rotate the LEDs & Forget the Glass
Ps I watch your content because it is an un way to learn the TRUTH instead of all the 🐮💩 that most channels Spew
Almost tread-like: Try a set (or 2) of car bumper protection strips. 3-ish cm wide x 1 cm thick and about 30 cm long self adhesive thingys
amazon seemed to have ( HR-imotion 12210201 Self-Adhesive Bumper Protection)
i rewatch old streams to sleep too lol
"watched" that 3080 overclock one probably like 30 times now
I'd be interested to see a build in the Thermaltake Tower 500 or 900 (or even the 100 if you're willing to do an ITX build). I personally have the Tower 100 with an ITX setup (12600K, 3070Ti, 32GB DDR5), and really like it after making some improvements to the stock cooling setup.
Tanks Steve lian li did a train case once upon a time that would be interesting I guess might be hard to "track" down but also there was a very expensive spherical case that was on sale in a lot of places but didn't look too great for airflow and room inside a lot of wasted space a "round" often wondered how it would perform but also what could warrant the huge price tag both would probably be difficult to find anyway good stream thanks for the entertainment
Black fans and mesh side panels that would look like track chains with the wheels and all would be cool.
Theoretically you can have no diff between a simulated sine wave -vs- a "real' sine wave.
"Real" sines generated by rotating a rotor through a stator naturally creates a sine wave.
Depending on the cost / quality your natural sine wave a synthetic wave could be cleaner.
A motor or generator also introduces impedance and noise, if your spending for quality
a well designed sine wave generator will create a cleaner signal.
Tanks for doing this!
Sneaker case next 🤔
Yes build Jay a boat PC that would be awesome a carrier chassis if they have it from WWII era or something that will fit a micro at mini ITX, just thought. great video BTW.
52:15 Dang, steve is a HoMM3 enjoyer. If you are interested in 4x, I can recommend old world, it's a great mix of civilization and crusader kings while not being as complex as CK.
Heros of might and magic!!! I grew up playing 2! I still have the ripped disk my uncle gave me but i just bought it off of gog for like $5. Awesome game
_Hey! Is that a tank?
_Well actually, it's a PC.
_Guys... its an airfryer.
I reckon you could leave the tread glass off and put a row of fans on either side with grills and this'd look pretty sick. With a custom loop it could work, but not for $500 lmao.
Would be good if you could work out some kind of warehouse or distribution colocation / 3PL supplier. Shipping fees from GN to New Zealand is also prohibitively expensive. Makes the value proposition unworkable when they tack on a 50% fee on top of the product price.
Meanwhile shipping from China to here costs like 50c to $2 (far cheaper than domestic shipping for the same size/weight) because our representatives got straight up played back in the day... and it apparently hasn't occurred to anyone that the deals should be renegotiated.
I imagine those side glass pieces are for when you don't want to mount radiators there. Haven't watched most of this just yet, but I think it would look best without the panels there and instead some fat radiators. (fans mounted inside)
This is good.......I love these cases. Keep it up guys, just keep it up............much love for ''GN'', peace out.
Wow this is incredible, I've never seen a TH-camr where their videos are longer than their live streams
When I was in high school I built my first computer. A friend came over and I had FFIII running on an emulator and of course I received a whole wheelbarrow of good natured friendship.
Boat PC must have a custom watercooling loop and a Helicopter PC must have some powerful industrial fans to it! xD
Awesome! There are only 3 Tank builds on TH-cam. Besides one from some company we won't mention. Lol
I watch all of your content. Every video. Same with all my other tech tubers. I want to stay up to date on everything... *forever*
Never knew I needed this
You could increase the cooling of that rim case by putting a snow tire on it.
VR game using any objects and even your car to enhance the overall experience, i was thinking a spider tank game or VR space battles in zero kind of one-way gravity
You should take a look at one of the Geometric Future cases, not as weird as a tank but still interesting.
It's ready for Robot Wars
So cool of steve to bring his son to work
Glad I'm not the only one who puts on gn live streams for bed haha 😅
It would be interesting to see their take/build on the Pyramid case
At least it's true to form. Difficult to get in, and hot as hell.
You should definitely make Jay a battleship PC. He'll probably end up giving it way to a viewer unless he loves it but you'll both probably get a couple videos out of it.
should have some smaller fans over the gears at the front and rear of the tracks
purely for aesthetics
What you need to do is use custom water cooling and then use a vortex cooler to blast the heat out the turret
Now I just want to build a few dozen raspberry pie(every single one running a different Linux distro;) into a aircraft carrier model just to send it to Jay^_^
The USA T95 prototype actually used glass armor. It was a special glass core between two steel plates. I really doubt the case creators knew about it though;)
Well it's a prototype. If it never went into production does it count? It didn't work.
@@wom_Bat It was first gen composite armor circa 1954. It worked very well based on the public numbers. It was not the only radically new technology though on the prototype just about everything was new tech. Particularly the smooth bore gun with tungsten carbide rounds & X type diesel engine.
@@alt5494 youtuber and former tanker the chieftain has talked about it. The X motor and optical rangefinder were both discarded due to performance, and the accuracy of the smooth bore gun failed performance tests. After 9 years the project was scrapped. A few hulls were used as prototype T118E1 with diffrent engines and turrets. Later leading to the M728 with Paton tank hulls. No T95 or their hulls ever went into service. Pretty much every aspect of the project couldn't perform. It was a failed design. 0 of it's tech was actually used in any design.
@@wom_Bat Failure in experimental programs is of widely misunderstood value. When well documented it is of enormous value. The difference between thousands of possible solutions & a few dozen possibilities being the ideal choice. T95 yielded date on multiple engines including gas turbine, numerous mainguns (90mm 105mm 120mm), & torsion bar/drive components. If I remember correctly the only flaw in glass composite armor was the difficulty in field repairs. If a modular approach had been implemented it had potential.
@@alt5494 none of the features passed trials or were put into production beyond limited runs for testing. It was a paper tank like the Armata 14 is. You can dig up a lot of cool things well before their time that failed. I'll try to find the chieftain episode where he tears this tank apart in a AMA episode. The hull had to be replaced if damaged which is expensive. You do see some fiberglass turrets but that's because they are more often replaced then hulls. The tank used silica glass. It's better then the ceramic we use now in theory. The glass silica is harder then steel but also much more brittle and would shatter where hit and crack up all around the section hit. The only thing to really come from that project was the concept of composit armor using silicone, which was fairly new.
With the camo on that tank being a PLA camo, it's possible a Communist Party or PLA member ordered that case. Kinda crazy to think about.
oh yeah :) here in the netherlands the Azza cube is a major hype, i like the case but was wondering,it`s also a weird case with some weird things,would ya test that one :) would be cool
Not available to buy in the UK
I would prefer a minature working armored tank with a 50 caliber semi auto cannon I could use for security patrol of my property... Make one of those and I will be impressed. 🙂
if they wouldve made the glass panels for the tracks a steel mesh this might have actually been a viable case.
I'm curious why you don't use overhead mirrors for making the overhead shots
I think Lindybeige would love this case.
can`t you replace the top tempered glass,with a nice metal mesh one (make it the same size of course) that would give more for the air flow instead of a full close tempered glass at top :) put the canon/top on it again and tadada more air...
Airflow ? Why the external CW value of the case is perfect.
i love this idea for this, nice LIVE
Could you do a video explaining the difference between amd and Intel vs RISC-V?
Would have loved to see a power on, and thermal testing.
The glass panels need either stickers or etching, to depict the tread, wheels, and engine parts that would exist on da'tank in reel-life
Crazy idea for a video that's be crazy and get a lot of views maybe a new wave and big sponsors for you. Could you put a water cooling system with a external reservoir for the fluid since they run hotter than your dream wive in your favorite birthday suit.
shocked y'all haven't looked at or been suggested (to my knowledge) Azza's pyramid or cube cases by now
Please do the Cooler Master Sneaker X PC Case and Cooler Master Shark X PC Case next. Thanks for another great stream.
i swear yous could be in a rock band and nobody would question it
We wanted to see it in action
Tank you for a fun and entertaining stream.
