1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,000
so what do you get when you buy a case that is only 13

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,920
plus a few bucks for shipping well

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,080
if i'm being honest not enough for us but here at LTT we are

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,760
all about cramming as much power as possible into anything that comes

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,210
through the door so of course this baby needed some major

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,760
modifications

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:39,040
the Corsair one features a compact form factor that is fast quiet and you

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:44,000
guessed it compact check it out through amazon or newegg at the links below

9
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,719
so the experience of buying this case then you really do get what you pay for

10
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,960
sometimes when it arrived i told alex gee man i really wish we'd ordered the

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,840
black version and he responds well you actually don't get to pick a color it's

12
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,719
just luck of the draw brilliant first impressions though it's

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,000
considerably smaller than we thought in

14
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,200
the description it does say mini itx

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,200
case and it does say pos

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,880
but it doesn't say anything about being so small

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,439
that it doesn't even have a mount for a power supply to its credit the

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,880
does this thing even have a model number no all right then the construction of

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,560
the small exclusive custom is pretty solid compared to some of the other

20
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,799
cheap cases that we've had around here so the first aid kit stayed where it

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,920
belongs above the fridge missing screws and lack of instructions

22
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:43,200
aside for 13.50 cents it's hard to complain about much besides the size we

23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,960
went about seeing then what all we could fit in this thing

24
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:51,840
fortunately we had a pico power supply on hand so we built a system in it with

25
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,040
that but frankly it kind of sucked at only about 60 watts

26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,600
and with a four pin connector that we janked together there was just no way

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,159
that this thing was going to end up Linus tech tips grade

28
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:13,120
which isn't to say that we didn't try but our core i7 7700k had to be

29
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,599
underclocked to 3 gigahertz from 4.5 and

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:21,360
have half of its cores disabled and even then it was so questionably stable that

31
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,440
it didn't even post downstairs where the lighting and construction going on right

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,599
now mean that the wall power isn't as clean no

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,480
if we're gonna build a worthy system in here we're gonna need a little bit of

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:39,760
inspiration from roadkill plus the angle grinder man is knocking at the door and

35
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,840
it seems rude not to let him in

36
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,239
so we went down to the workshop and planned out where the cuts would need to

37
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,200
be in the top of the case using calipers and rulers to aid our measurements given

38
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:56,319
we only have one of these cases it wasn't a measure once cut thrice kind of

39
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:02,519
situation after marking out the cuts we got out the aluminum cutting disk and

40
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,519
went to work

41
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,680
and wow it seems to fit so we actually wanted to

42
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:21,040
reuse the drive mounting that came with the case but invert it so that we could

43
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,599
use it to hold our hd plex 300 watt dc

44
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:27,519
to dc power supply that we stole from the s4 mini so we wanted that underneath

45
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,519
the case so we got out the center punch and

46
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:35,120
slammed out some rivets with only a little bit of massaging needed

47
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:39,360
afterwards to get it perfect then the standoffs were screwed back on

48
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,920
the bottom making a nice little compartment the chop chopping wasn't

49
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:49,599
over yet though we needed to make space for the power supply cables to enter the

50
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:50,480
case and for the pci express extender to

51
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:58,159
leave so we marked the cuts out and got the grinder going once again now we just

52
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,799
needed some mounting for the GPU a gtx

53
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:06,080
1080 of course we decided the easiest way to mount it was using this adapter

54
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,799
stolen from the compact sli rig project

55
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:13,200
orthrus which conveniently bolted right onto the existing cuts in the case so no

56
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:18,160
other modifications had to be made reassembly could have been easier

57
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:22,639
everything had to go back in exactly the right order or we'd have to perform the

58
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:26,240
disassembly of shame first we attached our little power

59
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,800
supply to the underside of the case using our preferred mounting method

60
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,280
double-sided tape the 24-pin connector on it was particularly ugly so we

61
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:39,759
covered that up using cablemod aio sleeving not a perfect solution but it

62
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,759
does look a lot better next we attached the SSD to the mount on the bottom the

63
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:48,320
drive mounting that came with this case is actually pretty bad and doesn't allow

64
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:52,320
for right angle SATA connectors but we were able to make it work even if we

65
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:58,080
could only put in two screws because it had to sit at kind of a weird angle

66
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,280
the GPU got slotted in and we were ready

67
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,280
to put the top on so with the CPU fan

68
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,360
getting plugged in first and then screwing down the cooler we

69
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:13,360
just needed to add some finishing touches and a lazy cable management job

70
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:18,560
and she was finally ready for action overall we're actually

71
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:23,680
pretty pleased with the cheapest case on the market i mean it would obviously be

72
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,880
misleading to call our end result here representative of its 13 dollar price

73
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,680
tag because by the time we had actually built our system we had used an

74
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:37,199
expensive ac to dc wall adapter an

75
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,520
expensive 300 watt dc to dc power supply

76
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:45,600
an expensive shielded pci express extension expensive modding tools and a

77
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:50,240
custom bracket that we didn't fabricate but cooling performance is obviously

78
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,919
great since it's pretty much all open air and we think it looks flippin

79
00:05:52,160 --> 00:06:00,160
awesome this is one of massdrop's most exciting

80
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:04,240
drops to date mass drop and hi-fi men

81
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,600

planar magnetic drivers that don't need a fancy amp to sound great the sound

84
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:19,199
profile is smooth engaging and even across the frequency range and they

85
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,800
feature men's focus a hybrid ear pads so the

86
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,880
foam is made of like a soft velour but it has extra cushioning and is

87
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:34,479
specifically angled for optimal acoustics other features include soft

88
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:39,280
