1
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:05,890
- The Fractal Meshify 2 C is or it might not be the best computer case

2
00:00:05,890 --> 00:00:09,590
but it's easily top three for sure. And if building in it is easy today

3
00:00:09,590 --> 00:00:13,860
then like top one or two, probably.

4
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:17,310
It's freaking sweet, it looks awesome and it should keep your components cool.

5
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:20,477
What's not to like? Come on.

6
00:00:20,477 --> 00:00:26,040
Meshify 2 Compact user's guide. Yeah that's a fine looking PC right there.

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:33,370
One of the big things over the last one was before in order to like get that the dust filter in here,

8
00:00:33,370 --> 00:00:38,460
it was a terrible time. Now what to do you just pull on that logo right there

9
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:40,313
and boom, dust filter.

10
00:00:41,515 --> 00:00:44,943
Oh, oh okay. This comes off.

11
00:00:44,943 --> 00:00:50,150
You just pull it a bit and boom. Okay, very easy access to the dust filter.

12
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:56,690
Okay, the top filter is not magnetic, which I actually like I find those always get kind of like misplaced

13
00:00:56,690 --> 00:01:02,582
and I believe it's totally toolless. Woo, yeah. So that just comes right off.

14
00:01:02,582 --> 00:01:06,810
Let's put that back on for now. Rear I think is also toolless

15
00:01:08,581 --> 00:01:10,381
This is gonna be so easy here today.

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,770
I really like this design in the front. For IO you get two USB 3, headphone, microphone

17
00:01:18,770 --> 00:01:21,770
and new for this one is the type C up here as well,

18
00:01:21,770 --> 00:01:24,453
maybe around. Yeah, it's a computer case.

19
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:31,600
There you go. Let's start building. I want to do it. I've selected components that are according to the side

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,997
of the box will fit, but very close to not fitting.

21
00:01:34,997 --> 00:01:39,673
I believe you can take off the top as well. Yeah, this just.

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,750
Heck yeah. This is going to be such an easy build.

23
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:48,030
Accessories, all look pretty standard.

24
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:53,140
If you look on the bottom here as well, it's the filter. You just pull from the front, bring it out like that.

25
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:57,320
Super easy to clean. I am going to remove the hard drive trays just

26
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,160
to get the PSU in and then we'll have to put them back on.

27
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,834
Oh, there's a first kind of stupid thing. The foot interferes with where the hard drive tray's

28
00:02:06,834 --> 00:02:08,143
screw is.

29
00:02:11,913 --> 00:02:15,385
Okay, we'll just move it up as far as we can go for now.

30
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:19,710
This also has the power supply, a removable thing,

31
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:23,370
which makes getting your power supply in so much easier.

32
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:27,370
Today we're going with the Seasonic Prime TX 1000.

33
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:30,610
I don't have any good reason besides this is a really thick power supply.

34
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:34,450
That's kind of the long and short of it right there.

35
00:02:34,450 --> 00:02:40,330
It smells good too. Those power supplies should just go in,

36
00:02:40,330 --> 00:02:46,140
doing it this way makes your life so much easier than trying to like get all the cables in afterwards

37
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:47,493
once it's inside.

38
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,960
I do really like that they already have some straps here for your CPU power.

39
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,970
So today for a CPU, we're going with a 10900K,

40
00:02:57,970 --> 00:03:01,810
it's hot. But most importantly it was

41
00:03:01,810 --> 00:03:07,020
at my desk and I already had built this computer. So we don't have to worry about it not working or anything.

42
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,550
I also have two sticks of RAM for 16 gigabytes in total.

43
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:13,543
And there's already an SSD in here. I think that's a 970 Evo.

44
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,030
Oh, this is so nice with the top gone.

45
00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:21,300
I did make what could have been quite a bad mistake

46
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:28,260
right there, because I totally forgot to add in the cooler mounting but this case does have the big old hole

47
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:32,970
in the back so I'll be able to access that when the time comes in a couple of minutes.

48
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:38,600
Building PCU is so easy now. Yeah, back in my day, you had to get a bunch

49
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,823
of cuts from the unfinished edges on your steel case.

50
00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:48,860
It should be noted that they give you exactly how many screws you need to attach the motherboard

51
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:54,660
and the power supplies. So don't drop them on the floor. You guys get a bit of a bonus here on ShortCircuit 8

52
00:03:54,660 --> 00:04:00,400
two unboxings in one. This is the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280.

53
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,510
And as far as I can tell, it's pretty fricking sweet. According to Gamers Nexus the performance on this

54
00:04:06,510 --> 00:04:10,010
thing's really good. But at the same time Arctic's performance has been quite

55
00:04:10,010 --> 00:04:14,193
good for a while now. My concern is more so just the mounting.

56
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:20,649
Oh geez. She's a bit big. Well, this is gonna be fun.

57
00:04:20,649 --> 00:04:24,520
One silly thing about this is they have a little fan up

58
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,624
here. That's supposed to cool down your VRMs.

59
00:04:27,624 --> 00:04:31,760
I feel like it's not gonna be useful for almost everyone.

60
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,273
It's left from that, I think it looks pretty cool. Huge of MX for here.

61
00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:41,330
Well I still have easy. Ooh, okay.

62
00:04:41,330 --> 00:04:44,490
If you're building in this case, you should not

63
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:49,490
install your AIO before you put power to everything.

64
00:04:49,630 --> 00:04:56,010
I would do that last. For a GPU we're going to be using the AORUS RTX Xtreme

65
00:04:56,260 --> 00:05:01,060
10 Gigabyte. It's a 3080, and it is fricking huge.

66
00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:04,200
I think we have just a couple of millimeters of clearance.

67
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,593
Nice, no problems there.

68
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:13,543
Oh geez. This is a very big cooler for this,

69
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:19,990
but it should be fine. So this is where taking the top out is pretty fantastic

70
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:23,433
'cause now we can drop this down in here.

71
00:05:24,408 --> 00:05:25,241
Oh, maybe.

72
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:32,179
It does say up to 240 on the top. - [Jono] Are those 280s?

73
00:05:32,179 --> 00:05:36,620
- This is the 280? Okay. Doesn't fit, not even close.

74
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:39,820
So long Arctic you sent us a cooler

75
00:05:39,820 --> 00:05:44,480
and that actually was really easy to put in but the one that you sent us is too big.

76
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,240
All right, moving on to my favorite cooler in the world the NHD 15, it's big, it looks sick,

77
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,960
it cools your stuff really well. No complaints.

78
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,060
It's what I use my personal rig. Again I know I've said this like 10 times

79
00:05:58,060 --> 00:06:03,060
but this would be terrible if the top was still on.

80
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:08,362
Oh, do you think that I can get in the fan for the CPU cooler without removing the GPU?

81
00:06:08,362 --> 00:06:10,523
It is right up against the cooler.

82
00:06:11,433 --> 00:06:15,153
I'm going to use this hook. It's in the iFixit kit, maybe.

83
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:21,200
Hell yeah. Did it. Wow, we almost have a computer.

84
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,543
So let's get the cables in here.

85
00:06:24,740 --> 00:06:29,690
Oh man, we just got so lucky. So on a lot of motherboards, it is possible

86
00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:33,840
that the USB headers will be down

87
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:38,320
under where the graphics card is right now. And I totally forgot to connect them.

88
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,790
But on this one, they're just up here above the GPU.

89
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:47,760
So we're good. Now it does seem like there's no fan hub included with this.

90
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,710
The original one, I think only had one, 120 millimeter fan up in the front.

91
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:57,650
This one you get the two 140s and also a 120 in the back.

92
00:06:57,650 --> 00:07:01,800
So that's way more cooling for your components out of the box.

93
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,700
Like when you're buying a case in this price range, this one's $110

94
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:10,530
the old one was 90. You're probably not going to want to spend like 50 bucks

95
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:14,170
on sick knock to a fans. So it's really nice that they have these pretty

96
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:19,653
good ones here stock. For storage. I'm going with a 12 terabytes, Seagate Exos.

97
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,250
It's overkill for pretty much anything.

98
00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:27,523
The only reason that I have it is because it just arrived in the office.

99
00:07:27,523 --> 00:07:31,030
And it's the first hard drive that I saw when I went looking for them.

100
00:07:31,030 --> 00:07:33,240
It's got the cage here. Is it only one screw?

101
00:07:34,590 --> 00:07:38,810
Nice, and then this I believe just goes right

102
00:07:38,810 --> 00:07:42,210
on like that. The hard drive just slides right back in there

103
00:07:42,210 --> 00:07:48,850
like that. No, it was very easy. Now we do want to reattach the hard drive cage.

104
00:07:48,850 --> 00:07:53,730
I feel like kind of no matter what you want to move it as far forward, as you can,

105
00:07:53,730 --> 00:07:59,770
just to give yourself more space for all the cables. Hey Jono, how much effort should we put into

106
00:08:01,010 --> 00:08:04,018
cleaning up the back of this case? [Jono] Zero.

107
00:08:04,018 --> 00:08:07,140
- Zero? What about you put on a timer for two

108
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:13,060
and a half minutes and whatever we can achieve in that amount of time is how good the back's gonna be.

109
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:17,590
Timer for two and a half minutes. Speed cable management, yeah.

110
00:08:17,590 --> 00:08:21,280
This straps are not as good as I originally thought 'cause you can't really tighten them down,

111
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,486
but at the same time, way better than no straps at all.

112
00:08:25,486 --> 00:08:29,890
Oh, balls. All right, screw it we're just bundling it.

113
00:08:29,890 --> 00:08:33,701
Minute 30. Oh balls, It's cramming time now

114
00:08:33,701 --> 00:08:36,299
- [Jono] 4, 3, 2, 1.

115
00:08:38,078 --> 00:08:44,100
- For 10 minutes and 30 seconds. I think that's a really clean backside of your case.

116
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:47,630
Now the one big thing that you don't get with this case

117
00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:50,673
is RGB. There's basically.

118
00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:55,790
Yeah, there's none. There's just no RGB at all. You can put the top on now

119
00:08:59,634 --> 00:09:00,551
Back panel.

120
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:06,640
This I think came off the bottom.

121
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,450
Yep. Are we done? I think we're done, hour and a half?

122
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:16,830
Not too bad. Especially given that

123
00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:21,920
we probably could have saved nearly half an hour if we didn't bother with the air cooler there.

124
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,595
That was especially for the size of this case

125
00:09:25,595 --> 00:09:29,370
an exceptionally easy little PC build.

126
00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:33,110
I don't know about you guys but I think that this is a fantastic looking rig.

127
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:37,180
I really like this case. Its biggest competitor is easily the O11-Dynamic-mini

128
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:40,910
but the reason why I'm more inclined to recommend this one

129
00:09:40,910 --> 00:09:44,050
is because this takes a full ATX power supply

130
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,370
the O11-mini you have to use an SFX L so

131
00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:51,390
that gets really expensive really fast. If you're trying to put like a thousand watt

132
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:53,443
or like anything about 600 Watts in it.

133
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,850
Heck yeah. Well, there we go.

134
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:05,900
The Meshify 2 Compact is a fricking awesome little case.

135
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,970
And I think if you're looking for a case and like, you know

136
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:16,534
about $110, you really can't go wrong with this thing.

137
00:10:16,534 --> 00:10:20,310
Hit, like get subscribed, have a great old day.

138
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:21,143
See ya.
