1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,200
in a world of plain black boxes with no

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:12,719
RGB one man risks it all to show five of the

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,040
most insane cases that money can buy

00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,960

forward slash Linus at the link below to get yours today

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:41,520
okay don't get me wrong i'm a huge fan of the understated monochrome aesthetic

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:47,200
with maybe a sprinkle of color here or there but today

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,719
today is about the outliers the biggest

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:54,000
the boldest and arguably subjectively the

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:01:00,079
beautifulest monstrosities that you can actually buy for your next pc build so

12
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,799
no one offs let's kick things off with the deep cool

13
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:08,799
oh it's heavier than it looks tri-stellar

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:14,240
to make something truly unique you basically need to step out of the

15
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,560
standard form factor because i mean all boxes look somewhat alike do they not

16
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,360
so deep cool amongst others here today took that

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:29,680
challenge very seriously as the name implies the tri-stellar has three

18
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,000
isolated chambers arranged in sort of an

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,240
arrowhead style with a metal hub in the middle that serves to route cables

20
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,280
between the compartments the exterior panels have a rough kind of

21
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:46,079
like gun metal finish that gives them a very industrial look and feel and they just

22
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,200
slide off whenever you need to perform maintenance

23
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,159
so each chamber holds something different so starting at the top

24
00:01:51,680 --> 00:02:00,640
you've got mounting for your GPU via a pci express extension and up to three

25
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,200
ssds with some sexy tempered glass to

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:08,319
show them all off then the left chamber holds your power supply

27
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:13,280
an optional two hard drives and a five and a quarter inch bay if you still live

28
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:15,840
in 2005. finally the last compartment

29
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:23,360
contains an itx motherboard with either a low profile CPU cooler or a single 120

30
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,560
millimeter liquid cooler thanks to this

31
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,040
fan mount now each of the wings comes with a 90

32
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:34,160
millimeter fan in the front and is designed to act like a mini wind tunnel

33
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:40,640
so i would probably stick with a blower style GPU cooler in this case

34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,519
that is if you can afford one it is 350

35
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,599
bucks now for our next trick the thermaltake

36
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:51,040
tower 900 may actually not feature an

37
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,480
overly unique form factor but it still

38
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,879
more than earns its insane designation

39
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:02,800
thanks to the sheer magnitude of both its capacity and size which are sort of

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,720
the same thing this thing is so big that my wife can literally fit inside of it

41
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,800
with the motherboard tray removed i couldn't make this stuff up anyway the

42
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:18,080
white version that we have here in the office has a powder coated steel

43
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:21,280
exterior and more tempered glass than

44
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,239
you have probably ever seen on a single

45
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,400
case at least for now and this robust

46
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,000
construction lends to its over 50

47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,280
pound dry weight i mean you seriously need two

48
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:41,360
people to move this thing around once it's full of hardware

49
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,120
lots and lots of hardware the tower 900

50
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,000
can hold two quad

51
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,720
140 millimeter extra thick radiators

52
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:57,120
like what we've got here and even has adequate room for fans on both sides of

53
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:03,439
it if you're a total airflow nut the motherboard tray fits up to an eatx

54
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,040
board and quad gpus although that last

55
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:13,200
one's not really a thing anymore at least for gamers and surprisingly the 900 actually costs

56
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,320
barely more than it weighs at 220

57
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,959
dollars following in the size matters

58
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:24,240
footsteps of our last case is the also by thermal take core p7 now in its

59
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,400
default form here you can see it just looks like one of those fancy

60
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:33,440
showcase cases that's just kind of like a slab of metal that you put a bunch of

61
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:38,320
stuff on and then a tempered glass cover in front for effect but

62
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:40,320
no my friends this case has much more to

63
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:46,160
offer it can be upright like a test bench it can be on the wall or in its

64
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,759
final form which we're calling panoramic mode you just install these extra

65
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,320
included panels and the case turns into this crazy

66
00:04:53,280 --> 00:05:00,240
open concept setup thing that you can uh you

67
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,120
can choose four different angles for depending on what you like to change the

68
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:10,560
look of your case and your build i mean customization is king right

69
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,039
the p7 also has a ton of radiator

70
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,639
mounting with space for three quad 120 millimeter radiators in

71
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:25,280
panoramic mode here and you can even vertically mount your gpus yes that is

72
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,120
gpus plural but if water cooling or

73
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,120
fancy GPU mounting isn't really your thing the case also has plenty to offer

74
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:36,960
for normal people with space for up to eight hard drives or ssds and of course

75
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,919
like the tower 900 full eatx board

76
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:45,520
compatibility this one will cost you 300 bucks alright so you've likely seen part

77
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:51,039
one of our Corsair slate build and don't worry we will be finishing that up soon

78
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,600
tm but the slate fit our

79
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:59,280
insanity descriptor so well that we needed to include it here and i know

80
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:02,280
it's fundamentally just a big black box

81
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:06,400
but what makes this case crazy is the

82
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:07,360
ridiculous amount of tempered glass this

83
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,240
glass it's gonna be huge it's curved and you

84
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,360
won't even believe it and it's no slouch when it comes to hardware capacity

85
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:22,639
either in fact it has the most capacity out of any case

86
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,479
we've looked at so far the most

87
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:31,520
you can mount eight ssds five hard drives five graphics cards two

88
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:35,360
motherboards two power supplies two quadruple one hundred and twenty

89
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:42,720
millimeter radiators a triple 140 millimeter radiator and 24 fans to cool

90
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:49,199
it all off oh and did i mention that it has RGB front i o

91
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:52,400
because yeah it has RGB front io

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:54,880
now sadly this 40 pound behemoth is not

93
00:06:52,400 --> 00:07:00,880
on the market yet but we are hoping to see it sometime soon and hopefully for

94
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:03,199
under 500 bucks because damn it Corsair

95
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:07,199
the world needs this bringing us

96
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,800
to our final case back okay

97
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,080
the most insane case nay

98
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:20,400
the most insane thing i think i have ever seen meet the zadak

99
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,199
511 heli carrier we aren't sure how many

100
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:30,160
of them exist or how many will be made but it is technically a production model

101
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,759
and therefore qualifies for this video

102
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:37,599
so all right where do we start with this thing

103
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:43,919
not by opening it that's for sure so it did include toy jets you know yeah

104
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,400
but it didn't include instructions so we're going to have to take their word

105
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:54,240
for it that it contains a 6950x and a sue strix gtx 1080 that

106
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,599
actually that story doesn't really check out at all because this is an MSI

107
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:01,520
motherboard and you know what whatever i'm sure if you

108
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:06,479
order one you can get it with whatever you want inside let's focus on what we

109
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:12,240
can see from the outside the entire case is plumbed up for the

110
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:18,240
integrated liquid cooling system with coolant lines visible on the sides here

111
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:22,000
and over here and it's got four

112
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:25,280
single 120 millimeter radiators here

113
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,360
here here and here

114
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:33,919
the whole thing is made out of machined aluminum and plexi and weighs so much

115
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,120
that it requires two people to move it io is fairly standard and positioned at

116
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:43,839
the back but don't be fooled into thinking that you can just put it on your desk and

117
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:49,120
fire it up the power cord can only be inserted into the bottom once it's

118
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:53,680
mounted on the included display stand but once you get it in there you can

119
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:58,640
power this thing up by sliding your finger

120
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,120
down a capacitive strip at the front

121
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:06,480
is that a thing of beauty or what so it lights up

122
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,360
these led lights down both runways and

123
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,360
also add some blue accent lighting to the bottom now i wouldn't blame you guys

124
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:19,200
for having decided by this point in the video that you need one of these

125
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:24,720
to which all i can say is too freaking bad because unless you've

126
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:26,640
got a cool twenty thousand dollars

127
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:32,000
burning a hole in your pocket you're just going to have to live without it

128
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,640
but what you don't have to live without is tunnelbear the simple vpn app that

00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,640
to see a dedicated video taking a closer look at this guy i'm kind of tempted at

142
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,640
this point it is pretty sex horrific
