1
00:00:01,319 --> 00:00:08,280
no no before we even crack open the Silverstone

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,360
lp01 I have a question here why does my

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,400
parts pile have an optical drive in it

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,640
no don't answer that don't answer that let's get this case open and find out

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,119
exactly what it is we're dealing with

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:30,240
because complete transparency I have done zero prep oh retro fitted htpc

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:32,759
chassis I remember this thing or rather

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:38,480
I remember seeing this thing and going I remember computers that looked like that

9
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:40,920
you know why we call them desktop PCS

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:44,440
because they used to go like that on top of the desk now I know what you're

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,399
thinking why would I spend brand new money on an old case when I could just

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,320
fish one of those out of the dumpster but it's not an old case it just has a

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:58,760
vintage aesthetic it's packed with modern features this side can take up to

14
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:01,800
I think two 120 mm fans this side can

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,920
take another 20 mm fan and has a nice

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,960
big intake for your power supply and at

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,560
the front that that is no optical drive

18
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:18,479
it's a space station sorry sorry no it's front IO front

19
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,680
USB three and USBC and what appears to

20
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:25,000
be a headphone microphone combo Jack this one seems to be an actual Optical

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Bay which I guess explains this what it doesn't explain is this can

22
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:37,600
this cas possibly handle the heat output of a 600 watt

23
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:41,200
GPU well don't look at me I don't know I haven't buil in it yet just one included

24
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:46,159
fan which blows over what appears to be a nicely vibration dampened hard drive

25
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:48,840
Mount and a pretty barebones accessory package but what are we looking at for

26
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:54,759
pricing of this thing I'm going to I'm going to guess

27
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:55,960
$139.99 $129.99 all right if you're

28
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:00,119
willing to pay a premium for the aesthetic it's not outlandish but it is

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,640
far from the best value that you're going to get for a case odd

30
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:09,039
configuration of standoffs pre-installed they went with these six which would

31
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:13,920
only correspond to some of those weirder narrow ATX boards that don't go the full

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,560
width so it doesn't really comply with any of the standards doesn't really

33
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:20,879
matter it's it's not going to cause any damage or anything it's just weird it's

34
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,879
also weird that we haven't talked yet about our sponsor thanks to secret lab

35
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:30,760
for sponsoring this ShortCircuit all working no play makes me Elijah a very

36
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,760
sad boy and thank with secret lab's Titan Evo gaming chair you can do both

37
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,480
in style and comfort it features a host of customization and adjustment options

38
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,480
to keep your posture in ergonomically correct positions and the flexibility to

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,360
add a bit of flare to your setup like with swappable armrests and custom seat

40
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,720
covers so head on over to LMG g/ secretlab SCC so you guys can grab one

41
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:57,120
today now obviously our main focus is the case today but there are some parts

42
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:03,080
that we need to talk about in particular the cooler because these desktop style

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,720
cases tend to be a little bit on the um

44
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:10,760
skinnier side compared to a tower you can really see that right 80 mil fans

45
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,159
here instead of typically a 120 or even a 140 your cooler selection may be

46
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,760
somewhat limited so we're using an nhl12s x77 but it is worth noting that

47
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,360
if we wanted to we could have gone a little bit higher profile we just

48
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,159
wouldn't be able to put a big giant Tower cooler on this thing so let me

49
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,159
show you guys what our clearance looks like a little something like that you

50
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:36,040
can see once we put a full thickness fan on there we don't actually have a ton of

51
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,439
extra space left over wasn't planning to talk about this I was just going to wire

52
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:45,200
everything up off camera but this might be the tightest USB 3 connector that I

53
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720
have ever seen I thought one of the pins was misaligned and I was mashing it or

54
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,720
something but look at this like that it's just that tight it's a twohand

55
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:59,079
job okay here's another one why are my front panel connector cables different

56
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:03,840
lengths like they're going to go to the same place guys what are you doing here

57
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:07,159
you got to Loop it and cable manage it like that to be clear I know these are

58
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:11,519
nitpicky details but what you guys got to remember is that's my job I got to

59
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:16,919
say the cable management in this case functionally non-existent but to

60
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:23,360
their credit it started as an April Fool's joke so maybe my expectations are

61
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:25,639
just too high is that true so many

62
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,560
people were amped about it that they just went ahead and made the damn okay

63
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,039
sure why not PC gaming community

64
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,440
stay incredible Andrew the camera guy is like hey you got it leaned up like that

65
00:04:34,919 --> 00:04:42,960
I just noticed the feet are different on the front and the back what the heck was that really a

66
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,280
cost-saving measure that mattered so you can see the pretty feet from the front

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:52,639
right in the product Photography they got the cheap just like rubber stickers

68
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,639
at the

69
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,880
back I cut myself for this build Silverstone not on your case mind you on

70
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:05,880
the cooler but still if I'm going to blood sacrifice to build a computer I

71
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:07,800
want it to be a good one a another

72
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:12,160
cost-saving measure doesn't come with fan screws normally your fans will come

73
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,240
with screws but I've also seen many cases where the case comes with fan

74
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,759
screws and this is not one of them now I got to figure out what we want to do fan

75
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,720
configuration wise we want to bring fresh air to our GPU But the spot where

76
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:30,800
we have two big intakes is up here which would actually work against the flow

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:37,520
configuration of the 90 so I guess we're stuck with just this one are you going

78
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,759
to throw in an optical drive oh oh I

79
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,919
cannot because we have a higher profile cooler that precludes the use of an

80
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,080
optical drive though we could still Mount some you know shallower 5 and a/4

81
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,360
inch accessory alternatively with this

82
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:57,240
cooler in the low profile configuration with the stock fan where it's mounted

83
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:59,199
under the fin stack that could work but

84
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,560
would restrict cooling a little bit good question all right I think I'm going to

85
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:06,960
take out the fan that was already in here that was configured to bring fresh

86
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:13,080
air over the CPU area push

87
00:06:09,599 --> 00:06:13,080
what well these are

88
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,520
easy it's a bad

89
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:25,520
sign usually means I'm getting frustrated

90
00:06:38,919 --> 00:06:45,680
oh whoa that's

91
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,960
tight there's a cable management loop on

92
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,360
there that may be the difference between the sliding in or not oh they've got an

93
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,759
extra little PCI bracket up at the top that I guess you could use to mount like

94
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,120
a you know little fan control module or some random accessory that doesn't

95
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,479
actually need to plug into the motherboard but it um it covers up all the screws

96
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:08,280
for the PCI brackets now would be a perfect time to leak a new product it

97
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:13,039
didn't Escape our notice that some cases and coolers have a pass through that is

98
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:19,039
a little bit too narrow to accommodate an interchangeable bit screwdriver so we

99
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,199
have been beavering away as Canadians

100
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:26,479
are apt to do on this the long

101
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:29,039
shank screwdriver set it's not done yet

102
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:35,360
these bits aren't final etc etc but it will allow you you to do this

103
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,680
ha that out of the way let's see if we can get this GPU in here all right

104
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:47,319
wow wow that is some borderline

105
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Fage we are not out of the woods yet just because the card fits doesn't mean

106
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:56,000
the power cable fits thankfully NVIDIA

107
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,039
angled the connector on the 5090 but

108
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,759
that doesn't mean that this is a guarantee

109
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,280
oh dude angled connector for the win

110
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:10,240
this cable comb might not fit but the cable itself looks like it will which

111
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:15,680
doesn't mean that we're good to go I also have to get some bulky cables from

112
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:23,520
the bottom of the case up to the top past this enormous GPU hey there we go

113
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,080
look at that she just barely fits okay

114
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:30,520
we got two options for the CPU connectors we can either go around like

115
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,519
this uh or hear me

116
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:39,360
out we go here ah I mean there's no back right

117
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:46,240
there's no behind the motherboard tray that's the bottom of the case

118
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:48,399
so we put a hole here we go under the

119
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,120
case no we're not doing that that's not a bad looking little build I mean the

120
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:57,440
cable management is trash but watch this I can fix

121
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,440
it

122
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:04,959
taada that's how we used to do do it that might help draw some extra air in

123
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,279
for the GPU that gives

124
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:12,279
me I was going to say hope but it doesn't let's test it now to see the

125
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,920
ergonomics that's more like it I still can't believe this is a real product

126
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:33,480
leave your comment now if you think the 90 is going to Thermal throttle 5 4 3 2

127
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:37,079
2 one and here's the results from Labs I

128
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,360
am either surprised or not surprised

129
00:09:37,079 --> 00:09:41,279
depending on the outcome there's no way this thing didn't

130
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,320
thermal Throttle No shot I'm not surprised if

131
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,560
you guys enjoyed this video I don't know subscribe to shirt circuit or whatever
