00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.200
in a world of plain black boxes with no

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:12.719
RGB one man risks it all to show five of the

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.040
most insane cases that money can buy

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.960
and it's brought to you by ifixit ifixit's protect toolkit gives you the

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:23.279
tools you need to tackle any electronics repair challenge visit ifixit.com

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:33.760
forward slash Linus at the link below to get yours today

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:41.520
okay don't get me wrong i'm a huge fan of the understated monochrome aesthetic

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:47.200
with maybe a sprinkle of color here or there but today

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.719
today is about the outliers the biggest

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:54.000
the boldest and arguably subjectively the

00:00:51.280 --> 00:01:00.079
beautifulest monstrosities that you can actually buy for your next pc build so

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.799
no one offs let's kick things off with the deep cool

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:08.799
oh it's heavier than it looks tri-stellar

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:14.240
to make something truly unique you basically need to step out of the

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.560
standard form factor because i mean all boxes look somewhat alike do they not

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.360
so deep cool amongst others here today took that

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:29.680
challenge very seriously as the name implies the tri-stellar has three

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:32.000
isolated chambers arranged in sort of an

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:36.240
arrowhead style with a metal hub in the middle that serves to route cables

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.280
between the compartments the exterior panels have a rough kind of

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:46.079
like gun metal finish that gives them a very industrial look and feel and they just

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.200
slide off whenever you need to perform maintenance

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.159
so each chamber holds something different so starting at the top

00:01:51.680 --> 00:02:00.640
you've got mounting for your GPU via a pci express extension and up to three

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.200
ssds with some sexy tempered glass to

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:08.319
show them all off then the left chamber holds your power supply

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

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:15.840
in 2005. finally the last compartment

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:23.360
contains an itx motherboard with either a low profile CPU cooler or a single 120

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.560
millimeter liquid cooler thanks to this

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.040
fan mount now each of the wings comes with a 90

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:34.160
millimeter fan in the front and is designed to act like a mini wind tunnel

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:40.640
so i would probably stick with a blower style GPU cooler in this case

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.519
that is if you can afford one it is 350

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.599
bucks now for our next trick the thermaltake

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:51.040
tower 900 may actually not feature an

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:54.480
overly unique form factor but it still

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:56.879
more than earns its insane designation

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:02.800
thanks to the sheer magnitude of both its capacity and size which are sort of

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

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:12.800
with the motherboard tray removed i couldn't make this stuff up anyway the

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:18.080
white version that we have here in the office has a powder coated steel

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:21.280
exterior and more tempered glass than

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.239
you have probably ever seen on a single

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:28.400
case at least for now and this robust

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.000
construction lends to its over 50

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.280
pound dry weight i mean you seriously need two

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:41.360
people to move this thing around once it's full of hardware

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.120
lots and lots of hardware the tower 900

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.000
can hold two quad

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.720
140 millimeter extra thick radiators

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

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:03.439
it if you're a total airflow nut the motherboard tray fits up to an eatx

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.040
board and quad gpus although that last

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

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:16.320
barely more than it weighs at 220

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.959
dollars following in the size matters

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:24.240
footsteps of our last case is the also by thermal take core p7 now in its

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:28.400
default form here you can see it just looks like one of those fancy

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

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:38.320
stuff on and then a tempered glass cover in front for effect but

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.320
no my friends this case has much more to

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

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:49.759
final form which we're calling panoramic mode you just install these extra

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:54.320
included panels and the case turns into this crazy

00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.240
open concept setup thing that you can uh you

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:05.120
can choose four different angles for depending on what you like to change the

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:10.560
look of your case and your build i mean customization is king right

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:13.039
the p7 also has a ton of radiator

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:18.639
mounting with space for three quad 120 millimeter radiators in

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:25.280
panoramic mode here and you can even vertically mount your gpus yes that is

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.120
gpus plural but if water cooling or

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:31.120
fancy GPU mounting isn't really your thing the case also has plenty to offer

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:36.960
for normal people with space for up to eight hard drives or ssds and of course

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:39.919
like the tower 900 full eatx board

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:45.520
compatibility this one will cost you 300 bucks alright so you've likely seen part

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

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.600
tm but the slate fit our

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:59.280
insanity descriptor so well that we needed to include it here and i know

00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:02.280
it's fundamentally just a big black box

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:06.400
but what makes this case crazy is the

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:07.360
ridiculous amount of tempered glass this

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:12.240
glass it's gonna be huge it's curved and you

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:15.360
won't even believe it and it's no slouch when it comes to hardware capacity

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:22.639
either in fact it has the most capacity out of any case

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.479
we've looked at so far the most

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:31.520
you can mount eight ssds five hard drives five graphics cards two

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:35.360
motherboards two power supplies two quadruple one hundred and twenty

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:42.720
millimeter radiators a triple 140 millimeter radiator and 24 fans to cool

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:49.199
it all off oh and did i mention that it has RGB front i o

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:52.400
because yeah it has RGB front io

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:54.880
now sadly this 40 pound behemoth is not

00:06:52.400 --> 00:07:00.880
on the market yet but we are hoping to see it sometime soon and hopefully for

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:03.199
under 500 bucks because damn it Corsair

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:07.199
the world needs this bringing us

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.800
to our final case back okay

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:14.080
the most insane case nay

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:20.400
the most insane thing i think i have ever seen meet the zadak

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:23.199
511 heli carrier we aren't sure how many

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:30.160
of them exist or how many will be made but it is technically a production model

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.759
and therefore qualifies for this video

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:37.599
so all right where do we start with this thing

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

00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:47.400
but it didn't include instructions so we're going to have to take their word

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:54.240
for it that it contains a 6950x and a sue strix gtx 1080 that

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:57.599
actually that story doesn't really check out at all because this is an MSI

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.520
motherboard and you know what whatever i'm sure if you

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

00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:12.240
can see from the outside the entire case is plumbed up for the

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:18.240
integrated liquid cooling system with coolant lines visible on the sides here

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:22.000
and over here and it's got four

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:25.280
single 120 millimeter radiators here

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:27.360
here here and here

00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:33.919
the whole thing is made out of machined aluminum and plexi and weighs so much

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:37.120
that it requires two people to move it io is fairly standard and positioned at

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

00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:49.120
fire it up the power cord can only be inserted into the bottom once it's

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:53.680
mounted on the included display stand but once you get it in there you can

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:58.640
power this thing up by sliding your finger

00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:01.120
down a capacitive strip at the front

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:06.480
is that a thing of beauty or what so it lights up

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:09.360
these led lights down both runways and

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:13.360
also add some blue accent lighting to the bottom now i wouldn't blame you guys

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:19.200
for having decided by this point in the video that you need one of these

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:24.720
to which all i can say is too freaking bad because unless you've

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:26.640
got a cool twenty thousand dollars

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:32.000
burning a hole in your pocket you're just going to have to live without it

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:36.640

this point it is pretty sex horrific
