that don't answer that let's get this case open and find out exactly what it is we're dealing with because complete transparency I have done zero prep oh retro fitted htpc chassis I remember this thing or rather I remember seeing this thing and going I remember computers that looked like that you know why we call them desktop PCS because they used to go like that on top of the desk now I know what you're thinking why would I spend brand new money on an old case when I could just fish one of those out of the dumpster but it's not an old case it just has a vintage aesthetic it's packed with modern features this side can take up to I think two 120 mm fans this side can take another 20 mm fan and has a nice big intake for your power supply and at the front that that is no optical drive it's a space station sorry sorry no it's front IO front USB three and USBC and what appears to be a headphone microphone combo Jack this one seems to be an actual Optical Bay which I guess explains this what it doesn't explain is this can this cas possibly handle the heat output of a 600 watt GPU well don't look at me I don't know I haven't buil in it yet just one included fan which blows over what appears to be a nicely vibration dampened hard drive Mount and a pretty barebones accessory package but what are we looking at for pricing of this thing I'm going to I'm going to guess $139.99 $129.99 all right if you're willing to pay a premium for the aesthetic it's not outlandish but it is far from the best value that you're going to get for a case odd configuration of standoffs pre-installed they went with these six which would only correspond to some of those weirder narrow ATX boards that don't go the full width so it doesn't really comply with any of the standards doesn't really matter it's it's not going to cause any damage or anything it's just weird it's also weird that we haven't talked yet about our sponsor thanks to secret lab for sponsoring this ShortCircuit all working no play makes me Elijah a very sad boy and thank with secret lab's Titan Evo gaming chair you can do both in style and comfort it features a host of customization and adjustment options to keep your posture in ergonomically correct positions and the flexibility to add a bit of flare to your setup like with swappable armrests and custom seat covers so head on over to LMG g/ secretlab SCC so you guys can grab one today now obviously our main focus is the case today but there are some parts that we need to talk about in particular the cooler because these desktop style cases tend to be a little bit on the um skinnier side compared to a tower you can really see that right 80 mil fans here instead of typically a 120 or even a 140 your cooler selection may be somewhat limited so we're using an nhl12s x77 but it is worth noting that if we wanted to we could have gone a little bit higher profile we just wouldn't be able to put a big giant Tower cooler on this thing so let me show you guys what our clearance looks like a little something like that you can see once we put a full thickness fan on there we don't actually have a ton of extra space left over wasn't planning to talk about this I was just going to wire everything up off camera but this might be the tightest USB 3 connector that I have ever seen I thought one of the pins was misaligned and I was mashing it or something but look at this like that it's just that tight it's a twohand job okay here's another one why are my front panel connector cables different lengths like they're going to go to the same place guys what are you doing here you got to Loop it and cable manage it like that to be clear I know these are nitpicky details but what you guys got to remember is that's my job I got to say the cable management in this case functionally non-existent but to their credit it started as an April Fool's joke so maybe my expectations are just too high is that true so many people were amped about it that they just went ahead and made the damn okay sure why not PC gaming community stay incredible Andrew the camera guy is like hey you got it leaned up like that I just noticed the feet are different on the front and the back what the heck was that really a cost-saving measure that mattered so you can see the pretty feet from the front right in the product Photography they got the cheap just like rubber stickers at the back I cut myself for this build Silverstone not on your case mind you on the cooler but still if I'm going to blood sacrifice to build a computer I want it to be a good one a another cost-saving measure doesn't come with fan screws normally your fans will come with screws but I've also seen many cases where the case comes with fan screws and this is not one of them now I got to figure out what we want to do fan configuration wise we want to bring fresh air to our GPU But the spot where we have two big intakes is up here which would actually work against the flow configuration of the 90 so I guess we're stuck with just this one are you going to throw in an optical drive oh oh I cannot because we have a higher profile cooler that precludes the use of an optical drive though we could still Mount some you know shallower 5 and a/4 inch accessory alternatively with this cooler in the low profile configuration with the stock fan where it's mounted under the fin stack that could work but would restrict cooling a little bit good question all right I think I'm going to take out the fan that was already in here that was configured to bring fresh air over the CPU area push what well these are easy it's a bad sign usually means I'm getting frustrated oh whoa that's tight there's a cable management loop on there that may be the difference between the sliding in or not oh they've got an extra little PCI bracket up at the top that I guess you could use to mount like a you know little fan control module or some random accessory that doesn't actually need to plug into the motherboard but it um it covers up all the screws for the PCI brackets now would be a perfect time to leak a new product it didn't Escape our notice that some cases and coolers have a pass through that is a little bit too narrow to accommodate an interchangeable bit screwdriver so we have been beavering away as Canadians are apt to do on this the long shank screwdriver set it's not done yet these bits aren't final etc etc but it will allow you you to do this ha that out of the way let's see if we can get this GPU in here all right wow wow that is some borderline Fage we are not out of the woods yet just because the card fits doesn't mean the power cable fits thankfully NVIDIA angled the connector on the 5090 but that doesn't mean that this is a guarantee oh dude angled connector for the win this cable comb might not fit but the cable itself looks like it will which doesn't mean that we're good to go I also have to get some bulky cables from the bottom of the case up to the top past this enormous GPU hey there we go look at that she just barely fits okay we got two options for the CPU connectors we can either go around like this uh or hear me out we go here ah I mean there's no back right there's no behind the motherboard tray that's the bottom of the case so we put a hole here we go under the case no we're not doing that that's not a bad looking little build I mean the cable management is trash but watch this I can fix it taada that's how we used to do do it that might help draw some extra air in for the GPU that gives me I was going to say hope but it doesn't let's test it now to see the ergonomics that's more like it I still can't believe this is a real product leave your comment now if you think the 90 is going to Thermal throttle 5 4 3 2 2 one and here's the results from Labs I am either surprised or not surprised depending on the outcome there's no way this thing didn't thermal Throttle No shot I'm not surprised if you guys
