This works great especially when we have to get them shipped overseas. I live in the Caribbean and I order from Amazon US. The smaller shipping volume is a god send as it drastically drops shipping cost compared to a regular case. That is the biggest advantage to using this case for me.
the beauty of this case is that you can honestly customise it however you want, remove the air filters and you have an amazing "open air" design, most parts fit, I was even able to put in a 6900 TUF gpu, a Noctua NHD15 and a full size PSU and ATX motherboard and still have room for more (it was tight and hard to cable manage, but ITX builds are bad for that) panels can be painted, vinyl wrapped etc etc... LOADS of options, you can even build it left side style if you want... I was able to get a spare side panel and remove the glass one, got rid of all my air filters and its running cool and looks amazing, thinking of spray painting it soon as well or doing some custom art on it... and, its cheap for what you can do with it.
I kind of like the look of it, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the £279 price tag, or the massive amount of probably unnecessary heat sinks to enable that look ;) Perhaps those heat sinks are incredibly functional and have proven themselves in performance benchmarks though?
Yeah, it’s a bit of a different type of case but it’s interesting you know it’s nice that cooler master kinda goes out their way and kinda make some different options for us instead of just a plain old square or rectangle box that we normally used to. Anyway, Devon, have a happy new year and can’t wait to see what you’re doing in 2024
I actually got this case for my build, got about 95% done assembling it, then promptly tore it back down, boxed it back up, and returned it for a full refund. See, this case is touted as able to be "inverted" where the main chamber is on the other side, and everything is essentially "upside down." I need a case that does this because the desk I have in my home office somehow has the shelf for my computer tower to the left of me. The problem is that setting this up to be inverted is really only a matter of taking the feet off the bottom panel and attaching them to the top panel, but this does not take into account that the front I/O and power button are suddenly on the bottom corner of the case. And because the corners of the case are angled, this really renders the front USB completely useless. So if anyone's looking at this case with plans to do an inverted build, I *highly* recommend you look elsewhere.
Couldn't you just flip the front panel upside-down? Thought the front panel was symmetrical on all sides. I have the case too now and was actually considering doing this.
i love it i have been waiting for it since the original QL500 and QL300 i even contacted cooler master about what they could do to the original QL500 and QL300 and i owned the QL500 and QL300 and did mod them obtain things this new case offers natively this is exactly what we wanted back when the QL500 and QL300 launched
If you use it as a test bench, flip the PSU the opposite way so the cables are routed from the back which makes more clearance for big GPUs. Can't screw the PSU mount in but when it's a bench it's not moving anyway
I did black case white component build using this case. It was very straight forward and I liked the outcome. it was a gift for someone in university which I think this fits perfectly for. smaller size and easy to move around, along with how you can customize the panels this is great for HS/college students.
I'm not usually one to comment on TH-cam videos, but I wanted to say I've really been enjoying your videos lately. The content, production, and quality are all top notch. Also, I love seeing the Founders Edition cards; one of the best looking GPUs in my opinion. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!
I have been planning to build a ITX case for some time now and came across your Channel, your videos give me a very good insight on what and what not to do when building a PC. I have all of the necessary informations to start buying all the parts but with every video you post I keep changing my mind on what parts to pick. Your videos are so good that I keep changing my mind on what cases to buy...
The aesthetics is my issue with this case as well. It's clever in other ways but the design is just very toy-like. I assume they were going for a LEGO/Mechanix vibe with this but I wish it built into something more subtle or elegant. Also, like some other reviews mentioned, the mesh filters they provide are very restrictive and if you remove them then the circular holes of the outside and angled slits on the inside clash badly.
The use case, is for people like me, who lives on an island without a computer store, and needs to ship it. The smaller box is huge for shipping cost and surviving the process. This is good for people who face logistics challenges.
I am a fan of Cooler Master. I like their products for many years now. So what I am about to say is not about this particular version, but all similar. I will tell you what my main issue is with these build your own PC case. Shipping. After you build it and have a full PC running, what happens if you need to ship the PC? The box it came with is useless. So how do you ship it? How do you transport it? I like the look of the case, I think it would look better in orange, though the brushed look is good too with what you did. Nice touch.
Amazing videos as always ! Can you do a video about : your setup, your camera gear and how you do your videos (recording, stuff, techniques...) ? Thanks ! And happy new year 😉
- I don’t really get the design logic on the PSU being hung from the top with intake facing the front panel . The width of the PSU will somewhat hinder smooth airflow for air coolers while the position probably doesn’t allow any adequate water coolers to be used due to restricted radiator length .
Yes, I've had my eye on it a while, and also a Streacom bench table. But just realised the second one is probably overkill. Not that I wouldn't want one as a luxury indulgence.
This is pretty cool but only at the right price. I think $80-$90 is fair but this would sell a lot better if it was price below $70 get rid of the tempered glass and replace with another metal mesh panel and i'd consider it for my next build.
Thinking of buying this to put all my old PC compoments inside so i dont need to spend time selling the old motherboard to get a smaller one was i want to make a small side build. Not looking for something that looks nice, but something that is practical.
I'm curious, what methods did you use to strip the paint off? I've always wanted to remove the paint from an s300 case, to look more uniform with the shiny, metal I/O panel along the base. And maybe replace the handle to achieve a sort of diesel punk aesthetic (with some amber-colored rgb lighting on the inside, of course).

At first I wanted this case.....then I looked up it's overall size. If it was smaller then yes, but for this dimensions I opted for less work, and bought Lian Li O11 air mini case for about same price in my country.
@neotlk8950 it all depends, available space on desk, and your esthetic....Asus ap-201 can't fit ATX motherboard while others 2 can. Lian Li O11 air mini should have lower temps since PSU is in back, comes with 3 pretty decent fans. With custom brackets it can also fit 360 radiator as Asus ap-201, unlike Qube 500. Lian Li O11 air mini is bit wider than other 2...... Like I mentioned it all depends. For me, personally I'm happy with Lian Li O11 air mini case. Price in your location matter too.
@@antoniocepaj7544 thank you, I have an matx motherboard but am seeking quiet while still cooling well and reducing the size of my case, I'll probably go for the lian li
I think it turned out cool, too! You’ll need to get paint stripper (I used Klean Strip from my hardware store) and some patience. I liked the brush on paint stripper better than the spray. Definitely don’t recommend using a steel wool brush to get the paint off once it’s set in the solution. Just let the panel sit for a bit longer and use a plastic scraper and elbow grease. I got an electric polisher and plan to polish it up even nicer when I get some time.
@@devyn.johnston Thanks for the info, I have some leftover orange based stripper that worked well on painted wood but not sure it will be strong enough for metal. But if you did chemical based I'll give it a try!
Good luck!! I got this one since it says good for paint on metal. www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-qt-Premium-Paint-Remover-and-Stripper-CA-Formula-QKPS301SC/307995062
4 month late for comment i've waited this case since release and finally seeing on local store but so sad, variants that official Cooler master shop sold in my place are already pre-build so i would received full build instead of build from ground. i guess i would wait for black friday maybe they put flatpack variant

Love the minimalistic design approach of the NZXT motherboard

it looks good fs but I’m not a fan NZXT having to pay more for minimal aesthetics
Apart from the ASUS ProArt mobos, NZXT's line of mobos are the types of boards that I wish would have a mini-ITX version.
@@jmal you'd think they all would want to do that sort of thing. The ITX stuff is all more expensive, right?

I think you missed something. I’m pretty sure the io panel can be move around alone in all 4 corners
@@ericspoor8175I’m pretty sure you can put the io panel on the back panel
@@BigPtace nah, not all 4 sides. The io-panel is integrated with the front panel.
@@ericspoor8175ok i have the q300l v2 and the io pannel looks like I can move it around.
I bought this case for an old EATX board I wanted to use for a server. It's probably the nicest case I've worked with.
how is this case performing for your server? I have a similiar project idea for my old 4th gen ATX kit
5:24 if that piece you’re holding was after stripping paint, I’d keep that and do it to all pieces

I really love the cases you showed til now, love the aesthetic that ITX and mATX bring to setups.
its cool to see more SFF ATX cases rather than just ITX cases
If you use it as a test bench, flip the PSU the opposite way so the cables are routed from the back which makes more clearance for big GPUs. Can't screw the PSU mount in but when it's a bench it's not moving anyway
Yes definitely. I do own that case and cooler right now. It’s a wonderful case

Dont stop i look forward to buidling a itx build for college in 2-3 years with one of your guides
I agree with the design language.. I actually like the case without the outer paneling !!

how did you remove the painting? Mine is black but that natural steel color is definitely sick
- I don’t really get the design logic on the PSU being hung from the top with intake facing the front panel .
The width of the PSU will somewhat hinder smooth airflow for air coolers while the position probably doesn’t allow any adequate water coolers to be used due to restricted radiator length .
How did you remove paint from the panels? I'm guessing sand paper will work
Huge ++ for test bed convertability
I'll probably buy it for that alone.
Yes, I've had my eye on it a while, and also a Streacom bench table. But just realised the second one is probably overkill. Not that I wouldn't want one as a luxury indulgence.
