00:00:00.310 --> 00:00:05.890
- The Fractal Meshify 2 C is or it might not be the best computer case

00:00:05.890 --> 00:00:09.590
but it's easily top three for sure. And if building in it is easy today

00:00:09.590 --> 00:00:13.860
then like top one or two, probably.

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:17.310
It's freaking sweet, it looks awesome and it should keep your components cool.

00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:20.477
What's not to like? Come on.

00:00:20.477 --> 00:00:26.040
Meshify 2 Compact user's guide. Yeah that's a fine looking PC right there.

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,

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

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:40.313
and boom, dust filter.

00:00:41.515 --> 00:00:44.943
Oh, oh okay. This comes off.

00:00:44.943 --> 00:00:50.150
You just pull it a bit and boom. Okay, very easy access to the dust filter.

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

00:00:56.690 --> 00:01:02.582
and I believe it's totally toolless. Woo, yeah. So that just comes right off.

00:01:02.582 --> 00:01:06.810
Let's put that back on for now. Rear I think is also toolless

00:01:08.581 --> 00:01:10.381
This is gonna be so easy here today.

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

00:01:18.770 --> 00:01:21.770
and new for this one is the type C up here as well,

00:01:21.770 --> 00:01:24.453
maybe around. Yeah, it's a computer case.

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

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:34.997
of the box will fit, but very close to not fitting.

00:01:34.997 --> 00:01:39.673
I believe you can take off the top as well. Yeah, this just.

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.750
Heck yeah. This is going to be such an easy build.

00:01:44.750 --> 00:01:48.030
Accessories, all look pretty standard.

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.

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:57.320
Super easy to clean. I am going to remove the hard drive trays just

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:01.160
to get the PSU in and then we'll have to put them back on.

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

00:02:06.834 --> 00:02:08.143
screw is.

00:02:11.913 --> 00:02:15.385
Okay, we'll just move it up as far as we can go for now.

00:02:15.385 --> 00:02:19.710
This also has the power supply, a removable thing,

00:02:19.710 --> 00:02:23.370
which makes getting your power supply in so much easier.

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:27.370
Today we're going with the Seasonic Prime TX 1000.

00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:30.610
I don't have any good reason besides this is a really thick power supply.

00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:34.450
That's kind of the long and short of it right there.

00:02:34.450 --> 00:02:40.330
It smells good too. Those power supplies should just go in,

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

00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:47.493
once it's inside.

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.960
I do really like that they already have some straps here for your CPU power.

00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.970
So today for a CPU, we're going with a 10900K,

00:02:57.970 --> 00:03:01.810
it's hot. But most importantly it was

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.

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:10.550
I also have two sticks of RAM for 16 gigabytes in total.

00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:13.543
And there's already an SSD in here. I think that's a 970 Evo.

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.030
Oh, this is so nice with the top gone.

00:03:18.030 --> 00:03:21.300
I did make what could have been quite a bad mistake

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

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.

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

00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:41.823
of cuts from the unfinished edges on your steel case.

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

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

00:03:54.660 --> 00:04:00.400
two unboxings in one. This is the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280.

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

00:04:06.510 --> 00:04:10.010
thing's really good. But at the same time Arctic's performance has been quite

00:04:10.010 --> 00:04:14.193
good for a while now. My concern is more so just the mounting.

00:04:17.030 --> 00:04:20.649
Oh geez. She's a bit big. Well, this is gonna be fun.

00:04:20.649 --> 00:04:24.520
One silly thing about this is they have a little fan up

00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:27.624
here. That's supposed to cool down your VRMs.

00:04:27.624 --> 00:04:31.760
I feel like it's not gonna be useful for almost everyone.

00:04:31.760 --> 00:04:36.273
It's left from that, I think it looks pretty cool. Huge of MX for here.

00:04:38.020 --> 00:04:41.330
Well I still have easy. Ooh, okay.

00:04:41.330 --> 00:04:44.490
If you're building in this case, you should not

00:04:44.490 --> 00:04:49.490
install your AIO before you put power to everything.

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

00:04:56.260 --> 00:05:01.060
10 Gigabyte. It's a 3080, and it is fricking huge.

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:04.200
I think we have just a couple of millimeters of clearance.

00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:06.593
Nice, no problems there.

00:05:08.380 --> 00:05:13.543
Oh geez. This is a very big cooler for this,

00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:19.990
but it should be fine. So this is where taking the top out is pretty fantastic

00:05:19.990 --> 00:05:23.433
'cause now we can drop this down in here.

00:05:24.408 --> 00:05:25.241
Oh, maybe.

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:32.179
It does say up to 240 on the top. - [Jono] Are those 280s?

00:05:32.179 --> 00:05:36.620
- This is the 280? Okay. Doesn't fit, not even close.

00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:39.820
So long Arctic you sent us a cooler

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.

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,

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.960
it cools your stuff really well. No complaints.

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

00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:03.060
but this would be terrible if the top was still on.

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?

00:06:08.362 --> 00:06:10.523
It is right up against the cooler.

00:06:11.433 --> 00:06:15.153
I'm going to use this hook. It's in the iFixit kit, maybe.

00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:21.200
Hell yeah. Did it. Wow, we almost have a computer.

00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:23.543
So let's get the cables in here.

00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:29.690
Oh man, we just got so lucky. So on a lot of motherboards, it is possible

00:06:29.690 --> 00:06:33.840
that the USB headers will be down

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:38.320
under where the graphics card is right now. And I totally forgot to connect them.

00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:41.790
But on this one, they're just up here above the GPU.

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.

00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:52.710
The original one, I think only had one, 120 millimeter fan up in the front.

00:06:52.710 --> 00:06:57.650
This one you get the two 140s and also a 120 in the back.

00:06:57.650 --> 00:07:01.800
So that's way more cooling for your components out of the box.

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.700
Like when you're buying a case in this price range, this one's $110

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

00:07:10.530 --> 00:07:14.170
on sick knock to a fans. So it's really nice that they have these pretty

00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:19.653
good ones here stock. For storage. I'm going with a 12 terabytes, Seagate Exos.

00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:24.250
It's overkill for pretty much anything.

00:07:24.250 --> 00:07:27.523
The only reason that I have it is because it just arrived in the office.

00:07:27.523 --> 00:07:31.030
And it's the first hard drive that I saw when I went looking for them.

00:07:31.030 --> 00:07:33.240
It's got the cage here. Is it only one screw?

00:07:34.590 --> 00:07:38.810
Nice, and then this I believe just goes right

00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:42.210
on like that. The hard drive just slides right back in there

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.

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,

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

00:08:01.010 --> 00:08:04.018
cleaning up the back of this case? [Jono] Zero.

00:08:04.018 --> 00:08:07.140
- Zero? What about you put on a timer for two

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.

00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:17.590
Timer for two and a half minutes. Speed cable management, yeah.

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,

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:25.486
but at the same time, way better than no straps at all.

00:08:25.486 --> 00:08:29.890
Oh, balls. All right, screw it we're just bundling it.

00:08:29.890 --> 00:08:33.701
Minute 30. Oh balls, It's cramming time now

00:08:33.701 --> 00:08:36.299
- [Jono] 4, 3, 2, 1.

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.

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:47.630
Now the one big thing that you don't get with this case

00:08:47.630 --> 00:08:50.673
is RGB. There's basically.

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

00:08:59.634 --> 00:09:00.551
Back panel.

00:09:04.990 --> 00:09:06.640
This I think came off the bottom.

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:14.450
Yep. Are we done? I think we're done, hour and a half?

00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:16.830
Not too bad. Especially given that

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.

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:25.595
That was especially for the size of this case

00:09:25.595 --> 00:09:29.370
an exceptionally easy little PC build.

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.

00:09:33.110 --> 00:09:37.180
I really like this case. Its biggest competitor is easily the O11-Dynamic-mini

00:09:37.180 --> 00:09:40.910
but the reason why I'm more inclined to recommend this one

00:09:40.910 --> 00:09:44.050
is because this takes a full ATX power supply

00:09:44.050 --> 00:09:47.370
the O11-mini you have to use an SFX L so

00:09:47.370 --> 00:09:51.390
that gets really expensive really fast. If you're trying to put like a thousand watt

00:09:51.390 --> 00:09:53.443
or like anything about 600 Watts in it.

00:09:57.500 --> 00:09:59.850
Heck yeah. Well, there we go.

00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:05.900
The Meshify 2 Compact is a fricking awesome little case.

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.970
And I think if you're looking for a case and like, you know

00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:16.534
about $110, you really can't go wrong with this thing.

00:10:16.534 --> 00:10:20.310
Hit, like get subscribed, have a great old day.

00:10:20.310 --> 00:10:21.143
See ya.
