Cost as much as my car and fits in my backpack. I'll take two. 👍
I mean you can take a rough design of it and 3d print them and stuff??
Only the CPU costs twice my car does...
@Devin Kagiva you can 3d print it's rough shape but the build quality will be nowhere near as good cus the Mjolnir is made using thick aluminum panels and 3d printing is basically plastic so it won't feel as premium or look as good as the real thing
@@dhananfdo3948 I know that, but it's cheap and light, I actually need light weight ITX In form factor like Mjolnir and support normal ATX psu so I don't need to get hi spec laptop
your car cost $300 lol
"I'm going to throw these mountain bike tires on my Ferrari, they are going to keep it driving cool and quiet..."
Same
Cpu looks at cooler
*nervous laughter* I'm in danger
Please subscibe with notis i have some good stuff coming soon (it would really help me out)🌹💜💙💜🤍🖤🤍🌹
@@WinkzFN no
"Hahaha... Dying tickles..!"
10 months and this case is still not available.. wow.
Lol i know right
Man
Make it 11 months
Fuck, this was precisly what i didnt want to read. And til it comes to my country, even later. The good part is it left much time til i can have enough money to build my pc
1 year ;)
Man I really wanted to see the temps for this one. That is one hella hot toaster
Especially the gpu mounted against the glass panel.
@@Someone-ci8wf Especially the cpu cooler being that size lmao.
3900x with noctua l9i will most likely encounter instant thermal throttle running benchmark ...
Well he did explain why he didn’t, so I’m glad he did that instead of ignoring it.
@@Someone-ci8wf It's not up close to the glass though like most vertical mounted ATX cases are. There is definitely a gap which will help.
I have had enough of these kickstarters and their itx cases that cost 400$. Like seriously, put it on retail or don't waste my time
Might be because they can’t afford to produce enough to put it on retail sites. So doing kickstarter today get some money to produce more
@@PhantomGanhdi the price is simply not worth it at this point. Most of these itx cases cost around 400$ (around the price of a full tower) and by the way , some of these kickstarters have been on for YEARS, and still supply is limited , shipping is long, price is high.
Anything not in retail is simply not worth it at this point.
@@youronlybro9708 true but just because it is an itx case does not mean that the retail price has to be lower compared to an atx case. If the time, design, and material cost went into it then the price can be justified even if the case is smaller.
If the itx case market does not have many well made and designed itx cases then a new company can raise the price and charge more if they so want because there is not much competition and not many good case designs compared to theirs.
@@Omniverse0 so is my main case rig is manufactured from aluminum but I don't have to pay 500$ for it.
@@Omniverse0 and also, the issue is not only cost, the fact that I need to make a donation at kick starter or buy it from their website where they manufacture only 20 pieces a time. So I have to wait 7 months+ for a 500$ case. I refuse to pay them an amount when there are other ITX/ATX manufacturers who deliver me faster products at cheeper prices in convenient retail stores like amazon. More and more of these cases keep getting into kick starter and wasting our time.
"Phenomenal Cosmic Powers, itty-bitty living space."
This is the kind of content I show up for.
Yes best quote
I'm getting real sick of these awesome itx cases not being widely available for purchase.
legit, I kinda would just love to have the internal chasis as a case of it's own lol
With that hardware it should have at least two bottom exhaust fans, that will be hot as hell with that single intake fan config....
As I said, the hardware was just for build purposes for the case review.
I would not use that glass side panel. You’re just choking so much airflow.
this is perfect. I went to my local store asking about a case I saw(this one) and wanted it. this can fit in a large backpack, live in an RV, go an an airplane carry on bag, train, or sailboat no problem. I want this big time, so I can shrink my PC down to this size, all I'd need is to buy a Mini Itx AM4 board and new cooler. Most of my friends say to STAY AWAY from gaming laptops as they can break and have zero reparability. so this case is idea for all my gaming and editing power.
"Wouldn't make sense to benchmark" no you just knew that the thermals were gonna be absolute garbage
Why would I benchmark something that is going to change for the final unit?
@@randomfrankp why not? will the final product change so much? i dont think so..
and if ever we will know the improvement from the prototype w/c is nice for the consumer..
its just deep inside you just know its a toaster XD
@@BrunoMaskulado03 Knowing improvement from prototype to production is kind of pointless. Whether the product model does worse or better, that's what it will be regardless. With glass panels it will likely be very hot especially with any CPU over 120W TDP. Anything below with a good 120 AIO (which the case supports) or something like a Cryorig C7G will be manageable for stock, or maybe even a small OC, especially if you manage voltages manually.
@@JustinBone knowing something is better than not knowing it.. what if they made it worse? (w/c is unlikely but its not impossible) :D
randomfrankp That’s the unit they sent you though. Why show it off or build in it at all then based on that logic?
they could make it a little bit larger in order to put 2 front fans, i dont see where the aio can go but im thrilled to see
That store looks like heaven
Yeah.. so much i wonder does anybody ever or will loot this place when chaos happen in murica?
This makes me want to attach a custom screen on it, so it's an entirely ready, lan party system.
That sounds awesome!
@@heisenberg1833 lol i did that on a full tower pc while there are wheels below and handle on top and extendable oculus rift sensor on the sides like a ninja warrior .. i still use it as im typing but im thinking of v2.0 and thats why im here
I really hope they'll make this in white. Will be an instabuy for me if they do.
They only plan to do black, gray, and silver.
The coolest case I have ever seen!!!
Please subscibe with notis i have some good stuff coming soon (it would really help me out)🌹💜💙💜🤍🖤🤍🌹
"i'm not gonna focus too much on the specs" *looks at specs* my reaction: HJRIOWFJERUI??!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?
@AO1337 have you ever heard of the term ‘joke’?
AO1337 hey look i’m toxic and you make no sense let’s leave it at that good thanks
@@fayenotfaye Imagine getting upset over a joke.
Specs matter running in a small case when thermals are very important. The dude is a shill for an overpriced case, that a year later still hasn't been released to it's kickstarters.
Those who are nitpicking Frank’s choices, he just wanted to show the build process and it’s a review for a case not for the parts.
instead of a glass, i'd love a fine punched metal mesh, similar to a speaker housing so we can get the best of both worlds... plenty of air flow, and not sacrificing much on visuals
@son You gotta specify. A mesh screen can be interpreted as the mesh in a screen door.
Kinda like them to go with sizes selection so you can slap a radiator to liquid cool them. Cause the design is beautiful.
Thanks for covering this! Super stoked I pulled the trigger on the kickstarter!
Niceeeeee
Added benefit of using the glass panels is that you can cook chicken nuggets is the case while you game.
3950X on an L9a?
Good luck with that
Actually, the temps are lower than the 3900x's. And it's like a ~95w tdp, so it's possible. A bit toasty but possible.
dellrizlonian I agree my 3950x says in the documentation and on a sticker that came with mine that it needs at least an AIO. I mean mine is running at 50 degrees idle rip. My moms 3900x runs at around 39 degrees
@@josephyang3260 The AIO recommendation was lousy tbh. It doesn't need that much cooling, I believe they officially mentioned a 280mm radiator. A 240mm was proven to be more than sufficient. Aircooling it would be fine, just not aircooling it on such a dinky heatsink. I had an L9a on a Ryzen 1600 in a similar sized case and it could not keep the temps under 80c.
@@theunholybakery1990 It's possible in the sense that the CPU will throttle performance down to compensate for the insufficient cooling. The L9a just isn't cut out to deal with the thermal density of the Ryzen 3950X (or 3900X). Even Noctua's own recommendations on their website state that the clock speed will be below the base clocks.
Also, no. The 3950X is not like a 95W TDP. 6 of the 16 cores under load will draw around 105w, 8 cores sees that go up to 120w, 10 cores will see it peak at 145w and beyond that the power draw will taper off back down to 125w as the voltage and clockspeeds drop down under a full load. See Anandtech for the source on those numbers.
The L9a is meant for "65w TDP" CPUs, with good ventilation a "95w TDP" CPU is doable. Good ventilation is not having a glass panel less than 20mm from the fan blades nor is it a single choked intake from the bottom of the case.
As I said, the hardware was just for build purposes for the case review.
Best mini ITX case so far.
7:26 how your videocard cooling, interesting....🤔
id like to see hex shaped cut outs for the performance panels, this is probably one of the coolest cases ive seen, ive been looking into itx because i tend to move around a lot so this might be it
I need a Microcenter in Northern California. The closest one is in Tustin down south.
Clifford Hawley Same i live in AZ and it’s a 5 hour drive to get there
I live in South Africa and the closest one is 14 hours away and I need to travel by plane
2020 is looking very promising for MITX enthusiasts, i can barely wait to get my hands on the finished product.
I'd go for the Ghost S1 over this FYI. Lots of options, better airflow... outstanding quality. I've built in one.
@@CashmereSky aye, it is perhaps top 3 amongst SFX cases when it comes to the best performance, airflow, build quality and ease of usage. It is however: miserably expensive.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone ever even think to put an L9a with a 3950X, let alone do that. C’mon Frank, are you trying to heat your house or what? A 92mm AIR COOLER with 16 CORES?
It's just for the sake of building and reviewing the case, I literally said this lol
"Are you trying to heat a your house?"
You realize no matter what cooler you're utilizing, the machine will raise the ambient temperatures of a space the same amount, right? Lol
@@JustinBone "You realize no matter what cooler you're utilizing, the machine will raise the ambient temperatures of a space the same amount, right? Lol"
You realize that wasn't meant to be taken literally, right? Lol
@@JustinBone Not exactly. With this little one the room temp will rise a bit less because the CPU won't be able to clock high enough and will produce less heat.
Jetuas thank you sir
love it! but for hardcore gaming heat is a problem
Do the vlog at micro center I’m so jealous we don’t have one in or anything comparable in CHARLOTTE NC! But I’d love to see what I’m missing. 😂
Well i actuily live in charlotte nc as well and i built my PC case out of wood with a aluminum and carbon fiber finish to it. And it is heavily inspired by DIY perks as i love the pleasure of building my own case from scratch to a work of art.
Micro center is heaven on earth
It’s perfect. Building a new itx this year and this would be perfect.
No just no dude trus the ones how knows
go pick inwin a1 or lianli tu150 instead.. this case have shitty temp for sure.. maybe its good for apu but not full spec pc
Easy Bake Ovens are looking slick this year.
Dope!!
Yes
OOOF... those thermals are going to be terrifying. Air cooling (despite Noctua) on a 3950X with the glass sides? Optimum Tech tested this case and thermals were brutal unless you were running an AIO (still hot), and he used a 9900K. I built a 9900K / 2080Ti ITX system in a Ghost S1 for a friend, and we needed the tophat and a Kraken X52 (with aftermarket Noctua fans) to keep it within good cooling spec, and it has way better ventilation than this case. The Mjolnir looks nice with good potential, but put your thermals as priority 1.
The Verge called, they want their how to build a pc video back.
Ouch burn....but not as much of a burn as that cpu is going through.
This isnt a tutorial though...
It's so small it looks like a portable PC. I like that.
it is
Yeah I wanna see another micro center vid!! I’m debating if I want to go there.
I live by one. I like going there if I need something and don’t want to order it online through like new egg and stuff. They have deals, and I think they price match to.
I really want to go but I can’t build a computer lol
I'm glad that microcenter is marketing properly finally otherwise they would die off
a stock cooler is going to make your pc a ticking time bomb 💣
The thermal throttling is gonna be wild with those glass panels on and those specs.
Crooked GPU from opening scene on really bothered me, hope they perfect that for sure.
I noticed that and thought what a shame, also GPU isnt centered in the window, so that would be a nice change too if possible.
Gotta love how all these content creators rave about these cases to the viewer. They have to know that none of cases like these that are in high demand are readily available.
As a truck driver i really need one!
This build is painful to watch. Tiny CPU cooler for a CPU that has no business being in an SFF case. And putting glass on a GPU that definitely needs that air.
It is going to boil.
You know NOTHING about ITX builds
That's a strong accusation you've got there - Except it's wrong.
xblackdemonx You know NOTHING
Hol' up, maybe its 2080ti from aliexpress
He's making a thermobaric explosive.
Kinda reminds me of those portable welding machines. So small!
Everything about this case screams 'toaster'.
I can’t wait to find one of these! That’s the exact size/shape I want for my desk! 😍
Please subscibe with notis i have some good stuff coming soon (it would really help me out)🌹💜💙💜🤍🖤🤍🌹
“In CASE your interested”
thats a nice looking oven you got there
“Core” it looks like you’re taking a core out of a nuclear reactor
Is it just me or is the marketing microcenter does ingenious
Sponsoring all these youtubers has given them so much publicity
"Blazing fast" sounds like my ISP's recording when I'm on hold, when I call to bitch about speed issues 😂
I like it! Whish it was wider with 1 or 2 extra slots.
I'm cooling my 3900X with same cooler, reducing clock speed to 3100 MHz. Average temp is about 45-50 celsius. When gaming it raises up to 60.
Sure, it looks nice and pretty until it catches on fire lol.
less than 10 seconds and I'm already saying" here take my money" gonna build an itx system soon and was looking at the coolermaster case for 70 dollars... Sweet clean case! Ryzen 9! gonna use a Ryzen 3 3200g for a simple sweet rig, running chrome
No benchmarks as it cooks with high temps? Also 300 USD really?
J C ikr you'd the smaller cases would be cheaper
I literally explained why I wasnt doing benchmarks/thermal testing.
People mentioning the thermals didn’t watch the whole video. He CLEARLY says the parts are just what he wanted to put in there for demonstration purposes to display how much power you can pack inside the small form factor.
He’s not intending on permanently cooling a 3950x with a single fan and paper thin rad. It’s to demonstrate.
All that said, the case is wicked. There’s a point when form factor starts to effect performance due to thermals.
I’d love to do a 3200g/2060 build in a case like this, but I’d never go overkill on the specs because I don’t want a screaming toaster oven yelling at me every time I boot a game lmao
Really cool nonetheless!
@@StaneDaynus Our 107W TDP CPU goes up to 59-65C (depending on case configuration) with a 120mm AIO and 30 min in Prime95 Small FFTs, isn't the 3950X somewhere around 120W? I don't think it's going to be a problem at all under non-synthetic workloads (and perhaps even synthetic ones as well, but that's reserved for future testing) :)
Please do a review of the new razer basilisk v2 please
This is what I've been dreaming of.. Thanks RFP for sharing
Dude thinks like a Mac Designer; TO HELL WITH HEAT My design produces doesn't it look awesome!? 🤨
It would be sick if they built this around a custom loop system. glass side panel could show off the GPU and the water block, then the rear side could have a the vent side panel to house 280 or even a 240 rad. push the whole build over to the GPU side since you'll have extra space with the water block, then it'll give you the room for the rad over the CPU/ motherboard/ PSU area.
Isnt this the guy who thought a sodimm memory stick was an nvme drive
Visiting that store is my dream!
be honest... who built this for you? Seeing as how you don't know the difference between a memory module and an ssd?
I Love Micro Center. I wish they build one in Manhattan..
The case looks awesome but same thing about most of the cases; "the lack of front USB ports not even a usb-c port" and when you have to plug your camera, drone etc you have to plug it to the rear side.
Already been 2 years since ive heard about this case. Ridiculous that its not even out yet.
I kinda like the big window. But at the same time. I think that gpu could do with a big hole mesh to allow it to breathe better.
You could have cramped in a aio for the 3950x with a bit better wiring
Nice case if you want an oven on your desk. Prolly will have to cash in on that warranty every 6 or so months due to all the parts burning up.
If you want something similar to it, the Sliger 560 looks really similar to it too.
I’d like to see them put on dust filters and maybe a fabric handle for mobility and comfort
I dont mind extreme ITX cases but wish they would make different internal volume sizes with the same overall design features (the sleeve is great), e.g. one with 240mm fans on top and space for a water cooling pump.
I wish you wouldn't delete whole comment threads so people could you know, read and reply to each other. You literally pinned a comment to draw attention to it but then for some reason decided to wipe it when people actually responded with something of substance rather than just making fun of the guy like you did.
For all the experts giving him a hard time over the cooler. Yes it seems crazy but if you give it a google you’ll see the SFF community has already done some testing on this and it’s completely viable, especially in 65w eco mode. Of course you don’t get the performance you’d get on a larger cooler but modern CPUs throttle for a reason. You can easily get 3900x performance out of this setup with better thermals. 3950x being much better quality silicon than 3900x helps this.
If ever it gets mass produced i will 100% pick one up. Kickstarters sketch me out.
I would like to see you do an updated VLOG about that store.
Please subscibe with notis i have some good stuff coming soon (it would really help me out)🌹💜💙💜🤍🖤🤍🌹
Robot camo from dbrand looking clean
Stock 3950X is already warm enough as-is. My 3950X with EDC=0 & 3800C14 OC easily toasts a 240mm AIO, thus moved to custom loop. I like the looks of the case but it just does not really support very-high-end hardware.
Yeah looks like you built a nice oven there mate
I don't like the cable management of this case. But as far as i could see, it is possible mount a nzxt water cooling at the top of the cage, this would be nice.
the one improvement/accessory that is a must. a mesh/grilled tempered side panel (or i guess acrylic if need be?). why not get the best of both worlds? i would hate to have to choose.
L9a has a max tdp of 65w... So a 105W 3950x is going to thermal throttle.. hard. My L9a has trouble cooling my 3700x, which actually has a 65w tdp
As I said, the hardware was just for build purposes for the case review.
I wanna throw some white screen with white leds for a Star Wars wall theme
Would love to see an optional handle to carry it around ( should be a cool looking sculpted piece, not like a briefcase )
u can add 3 fans or 2 water cooling systems
He bro just just keep me updated wit all those latest stuffs👍
It’s an awesome looking case. Simple, sleek, and elegant. It just shows on the price of the case.
You should definitely do a micro center video and have a budget to build an entire setup keyboard monitor mouse etc
Its beautiful, but the ghost S1 with a medium top hat is the ultimate sff case.
Why would they put the power button on the back? Also, that fan is going to run hot. It is a neat case...but it would need an aio with room for two fans to be ideal....and the power button. Great video though!
maybe put/ hold the GPU bracket to the GPU then when you put it in, you wan't be limited by the card to put it in? just an idea.
That is the sexiest ITX case I've ever seen
Recommendation: Flip the fan side up and make it an exhaust. There have been tests on this over at LinusTechTips and having one exhaust is better than an intake fan in terms of temps.
Not on this case, Thor-zone recommends an intake vs exhaust.
Case manufacturers recommend a lot of things. This has been third-party tested. Exhausts matter more for your temps. The only reason you would want an intake is if you wanted a positive pressure system, but honestly all these ITX options have a lot of unfiltered holes where dust is going to get in anyway and you are going to have to be blowing them out frequently either way.
@@randomfrankp Prove me wrong. I know you don't really do a lot of testing on this channel but you could temp test both options easily with the removable core on this case. Guarantee a top-facing exhaust will have both your CPU and GPU temps lower than a bottom-mounted intake.
On the final unit I will
