WEBVTT

00:00:01.319 --> 00:00:08.280
no no before we even crack open the Silverstone

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:11.360
lp01 I have a question here why does my

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:13.400
parts pile have an optical drive in it

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

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:21.119
exactly what it is we're dealing with

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:30.240
because complete transparency I have done zero prep oh retro fitted htpc

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:32.759
chassis I remember this thing or rather

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:38.480
I remember seeing this thing and going I remember computers that looked like that

00:00:35.239 --> 00:00:40.920
you know why we call them desktop PCS

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

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:48.399
thinking why would I spend brand new money on an old case when I could just

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

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:58.760
vintage aesthetic it's packed with modern features this side can take up to

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:01.800
I think two 120 mm fans this side can

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:04.920
take another 20 mm fan and has a nice

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:08.960
big intake for your power supply and at

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.560
the front that that is no optical drive

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:18.479
it's a space station sorry sorry no it's front IO front

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:20.680
USB three and USBC and what appears to

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:25.000
be a headphone microphone combo Jack this one seems to be an actual Optical

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:32.320
Bay which I guess explains this what it doesn't explain is this can

00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:37.600
this cas possibly handle the heat output of a 600 watt

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

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:46.159
fan which blows over what appears to be a nicely vibration dampened hard drive

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:48.840
Mount and a pretty barebones accessory package but what are we looking at for

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:54.759
pricing of this thing I'm going to I'm going to guess

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.960
$139.99 $129.99 all right if you're

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:00.119
willing to pay a premium for the aesthetic it's not outlandish but it is

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:03.640
far from the best value that you're going to get for a case odd

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:09.039
configuration of standoffs pre-installed they went with these six which would

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:13.920
only correspond to some of those weirder narrow ATX boards that don't go the full

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.560
width so it doesn't really comply with any of the standards doesn't really

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

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.879
also weird that we haven't talked yet about our sponsor thanks to secret lab

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:30.760
for sponsoring this ShortCircuit all working no play makes me Elijah a very

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.760
sad boy and thank with secret lab's Titan Evo gaming chair you can do both

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.480
in style and comfort it features a host of customization and adjustment options

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:43.480
to keep your posture in ergonomically correct positions and the flexibility to

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:48.360
add a bit of flare to your setup like with swappable armrests and custom seat

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:52.720
covers so head on over to LMG g/ secretlab SCC so you guys can grab one

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:57.120
today now obviously our main focus is the case today but there are some parts

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:03.080
that we need to talk about in particular the cooler because these desktop style

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.720
cases tend to be a little bit on the um

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:10.760
skinnier side compared to a tower you can really see that right 80 mil fans

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.159
here instead of typically a 120 or even a 140 your cooler selection may be

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:20.760
somewhat limited so we're using an nhl12s x77 but it is worth noting that

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:24.360
if we wanted to we could have gone a little bit higher profile we just

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

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:32.159
show you guys what our clearance looks like a little something like that you

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

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

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:45.200
everything up off camera but this might be the tightest USB 3 connector that I

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

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.720
something but look at this like that it's just that tight it's a twohand

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:59.079
job okay here's another one why are my front panel connector cables different

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

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

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

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:16.919
say the cable management in this case functionally non-existent but to

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:23.360
their credit it started as an April Fool's joke so maybe my expectations are

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:25.639
just too high is that true so many

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.560
people were amped about it that they just went ahead and made the damn okay

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.039
sure why not PC gaming community

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.440
stay incredible Andrew the camera guy is like hey you got it leaned up like that

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

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:48.280
cost-saving measure that mattered so you can see the pretty feet from the front

00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:52.639
right in the product Photography they got the cheap just like rubber stickers

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.639
at the

00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:00.880
back I cut myself for this build Silverstone not on your case mind you on

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.880
the cooler but still if I'm going to blood sacrifice to build a computer I

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:07.800
want it to be a good one a another

00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:12.160
cost-saving measure doesn't come with fan screws normally your fans will come

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:17.240
with screws but I've also seen many cases where the case comes with fan

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

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.720
configuration wise we want to bring fresh air to our GPU But the spot where

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:30.800
we have two big intakes is up here which would actually work against the flow

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

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:39.759
to throw in an optical drive oh oh I

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:42.919
cannot because we have a higher profile cooler that precludes the use of an

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.080
optical drive though we could still Mount some you know shallower 5 and a/4

00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:50.360
inch accessory alternatively with this

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:57.240
cooler in the low profile configuration with the stock fan where it's mounted

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:59.199
under the fin stack that could work but

00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:02.560
would restrict cooling a little bit good question all right I think I'm going to

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:06.960
take out the fan that was already in here that was configured to bring fresh

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:13.080
air over the CPU area push

00:06:09.599 --> 00:06:13.080
what well these are

00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:22.520
easy it's a bad

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:25.520
sign usually means I'm getting frustrated

00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:45.680
oh whoa that's

00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:47.960
tight there's a cable management loop on

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

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

00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:59.120
a you know little fan control module or some random accessory that doesn't

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.479
actually need to plug into the motherboard but it um it covers up all the screws

00:07:02.599 --> 00:07:08.280
for the PCI brackets now would be a perfect time to leak a new product it

00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:13.039
didn't Escape our notice that some cases and coolers have a pass through that is

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:19.039
a little bit too narrow to accommodate an interchangeable bit screwdriver so we

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:23.199
have been beavering away as Canadians

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:26.479
are apt to do on this the long

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:29.039
shank screwdriver set it's not done yet

00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:35.360
these bits aren't final etc etc but it will allow you you to do this

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

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:47.319
wow wow that is some borderline

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

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:56.000
the power cable fits thankfully NVIDIA

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.039
angled the connector on the 5090 but

00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:03.759
that doesn't mean that this is a guarantee

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.280
oh dude angled connector for the win

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:10.240
this cable comb might not fit but the cable itself looks like it will which

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

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

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:25.080
look at that she just barely fits okay

00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:30.520
we got two options for the CPU connectors we can either go around like

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:34.519
this uh or hear me

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:39.360
out we go here ah I mean there's no back right

00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:46.240
there's no behind the motherboard tray that's the bottom of the case

00:08:41.880 --> 00:08:48.399
so we put a hole here we go under the

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

00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:57.440
cable management is trash but watch this I can fix

00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.440
it

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

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.279
for the GPU that gives

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

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:23.920
ergonomics that's more like it I still can't believe this is a real product

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

00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:37.079
2 one and here's the results from Labs I

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:38.360
am either surprised or not surprised

00:09:37.079 --> 00:09:41.279
depending on the outcome there's no way this thing didn't

00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:46.320
thermal Throttle No shot I'm not surprised if

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.560
you guys enjoyed this video I don't know subscribe to shirt circuit or whatever
