in a world of plain black boxes with no
RGB one man risks it all to show five of the
most insane cases that money can buy
and it's brought to you by ifixit ifixit's protect toolkit gives you the
tools you need to tackle any electronics repair challenge visit ifixit.com
forward slash Linus at the link below to get yours today
okay don't get me wrong i'm a huge fan of the understated monochrome aesthetic
with maybe a sprinkle of color here or there but today
today is about the outliers the biggest
the boldest and arguably subjectively the
beautifulest monstrosities that you can actually buy for your next pc build so
no one offs let's kick things off with the deep cool
oh it's heavier than it looks tri-stellar
to make something truly unique you basically need to step out of the
standard form factor because i mean all boxes look somewhat alike do they not
so deep cool amongst others here today took that
challenge very seriously as the name implies the tri-stellar has three
isolated chambers arranged in sort of an
arrowhead style with a metal hub in the middle that serves to route cables
between the compartments the exterior panels have a rough kind of
like gun metal finish that gives them a very industrial look and feel and they just
slide off whenever you need to perform maintenance
so each chamber holds something different so starting at the top
you've got mounting for your GPU via a pci express extension and up to three
ssds with some sexy tempered glass to
show them all off then the left chamber holds your power supply
an optional two hard drives and a five and a quarter inch bay if you still live
in 2005. finally the last compartment
contains an itx motherboard with either a low profile CPU cooler or a single 120
millimeter liquid cooler thanks to this
fan mount now each of the wings comes with a 90
millimeter fan in the front and is designed to act like a mini wind tunnel
so i would probably stick with a blower style GPU cooler in this case
that is if you can afford one it is 350
bucks now for our next trick the thermaltake
tower 900 may actually not feature an
overly unique form factor but it still
more than earns its insane designation
thanks to the sheer magnitude of both its capacity and size which are sort of
the same thing this thing is so big that my wife can literally fit inside of it
with the motherboard tray removed i couldn't make this stuff up anyway the
white version that we have here in the office has a powder coated steel
exterior and more tempered glass than
you have probably ever seen on a single
case at least for now and this robust
construction lends to its over 50
pound dry weight i mean you seriously need two
people to move this thing around once it's full of hardware
lots and lots of hardware the tower 900
can hold two quad
140 millimeter extra thick radiators
like what we've got here and even has adequate room for fans on both sides of
it if you're a total airflow nut the motherboard tray fits up to an eatx
board and quad gpus although that last
one's not really a thing anymore at least for gamers and surprisingly the 900 actually costs
barely more than it weighs at 220
dollars following in the size matters
footsteps of our last case is the also by thermal take core p7 now in its
default form here you can see it just looks like one of those fancy
showcase cases that's just kind of like a slab of metal that you put a bunch of
stuff on and then a tempered glass cover in front for effect but
no my friends this case has much more to
offer it can be upright like a test bench it can be on the wall or in its
final form which we're calling panoramic mode you just install these extra
included panels and the case turns into this crazy
open concept setup thing that you can uh you
can choose four different angles for depending on what you like to change the
look of your case and your build i mean customization is king right
the p7 also has a ton of radiator
mounting with space for three quad 120 millimeter radiators in
panoramic mode here and you can even vertically mount your gpus yes that is
gpus plural but if water cooling or
fancy GPU mounting isn't really your thing the case also has plenty to offer
for normal people with space for up to eight hard drives or ssds and of course
like the tower 900 full eatx board
compatibility this one will cost you 300 bucks alright so you've likely seen part
one of our Corsair slate build and don't worry we will be finishing that up soon
tm but the slate fit our
insanity descriptor so well that we needed to include it here and i know
it's fundamentally just a big black box
but what makes this case crazy is the
ridiculous amount of tempered glass this
glass it's gonna be huge it's curved and you
won't even believe it and it's no slouch when it comes to hardware capacity
either in fact it has the most capacity out of any case
we've looked at so far the most
you can mount eight ssds five hard drives five graphics cards two
motherboards two power supplies two quadruple one hundred and twenty
millimeter radiators a triple 140 millimeter radiator and 24 fans to cool
it all off oh and did i mention that it has RGB front i o
because yeah it has RGB front io
now sadly this 40 pound behemoth is not
on the market yet but we are hoping to see it sometime soon and hopefully for
under 500 bucks because damn it Corsair
the world needs this bringing us
to our final case back okay
the most insane case nay
the most insane thing i think i have ever seen meet the zadak
511 heli carrier we aren't sure how many
of them exist or how many will be made but it is technically a production model
and therefore qualifies for this video
so all right where do we start with this thing
not by opening it that's for sure so it did include toy jets you know yeah
but it didn't include instructions so we're going to have to take their word
for it that it contains a 6950x and a sue strix gtx 1080 that
actually that story doesn't really check out at all because this is an MSI
motherboard and you know what whatever i'm sure if you
order one you can get it with whatever you want inside let's focus on what we
can see from the outside the entire case is plumbed up for the
integrated liquid cooling system with coolant lines visible on the sides here
and over here and it's got four
single 120 millimeter radiators here
here here and here
the whole thing is made out of machined aluminum and plexi and weighs so much
that it requires two people to move it io is fairly standard and positioned at
the back but don't be fooled into thinking that you can just put it on your desk and
fire it up the power cord can only be inserted into the bottom once it's
mounted on the included display stand but once you get it in there you can
power this thing up by sliding your finger
down a capacitive strip at the front
is that a thing of beauty or what so it lights up
these led lights down both runways and
also add some blue accent lighting to the bottom now i wouldn't blame you guys
for having decided by this point in the video that you need one of these
to which all i can say is too freaking bad because unless you've
got a cool twenty thousand dollars
