We've got another plug","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":323.52,"end_s":330.08,"text":"there. That's for the Oo, there's our first glimpse of the uh phase change","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":328.32,"end_s":335.52,"text":"cooling inside. All right, let's go ahead and come around to this side where","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":332.32,"end_s":336.88,"text":"we've got all just plain white here. We","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":335.52,"end_s":342.479,"text":"should stay over on this side so we have light.

I mean, I guess if you're","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":351.52,"end_s":359.199,"text":"going to charge €1,200 for a case, it better be nothing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":356.639,"end_s":364.72,"text":"but the finest.

All right, so let's unveil","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":376.36,"end_s":381.84,"text":"her. Look at that. Now, it's all","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":379.68,"end_s":385.919,"text":"aluminum except for the bottom plate, which is steel to hold the weight of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":383.759,"end_s":388.919,"text":"compressor unit that is installed, pre-installed in the bottom. This is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":388.0,"end_s":394.319,"text":"made in Slovenia. Check that out. And I guess","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":391.84,"end_s":398.72,"text":"all that's left now is for us to open it up. And oh, right. No, there's one thing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":396.479,"end_s":403.52,"text":"that we can definitely check out. So, that's the thing that we heard banging","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":400.4,"end_s":405.039,"text":"around inside the case uh before we were","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":403.52,"end_s":410.16,"text":"able to open it. So, it's bubble wrapped. And that is the evaporator unit","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":408.16,"end_s":414.479,"text":"that is going to sit directly on top of the CPU, cooling it. And then let's go","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":413.039,"end_s":419.919,"text":"ahead and get the bottom opened up as well, so you guys can check this out.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":418.24,"end_s":427.1,"text":"All right. So, this is curious. It looks like the case comes apart completely","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":422.24,"end_s":430.52,"text":"with Allen keys, like like with hex","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":430.52,"end_s":436.72,"text":"heads. All right, here we go.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":433.919,"end_s":440.759,"text":"left side panel off. So, there's our window. In spite of no protective","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":438.16,"end_s":444.599,"text":"covering, it's in pristine condition. It looks like they're using a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":443.28,"end_s":450.479,"text":"very different It's not glass, but uh it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":448.56,"end_s":455.599,"text":"seems like a seems like a better acrylic.

Oh, there's a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":471.199,"end_s":477.68,"text":"crack in the corner. Yeah, there's definitely a crack","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":475.16,"end_s":484.319,"text":"there. So, this case is available without the the white out option. So,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":481.68,"end_s":487.479,"text":"you can see the case is painted white and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":485.639,"end_s":493.759,"text":"then the actual Here we go. Everything but the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":490.56,"end_s":496.4,"text":"hold down plate and the boot here is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":493.759,"end_s":502.319,"text":"actually uh white as well. So this is the lines here are insulated underneath","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":499.039,"end_s":504.56,"text":"this white sleing. And then there's more","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":502.319,"end_s":509.36,"text":"insulation here. And then this piece right here is for insulating the bottom","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":508.16,"end_s":515.599,"text":"right here. So you're actually going to have to cut that to size. You can see","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":511.68,"end_s":517.12,"text":"that nice shiny copper base there.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":515.599,"end_s":522.399,"text":"Absolutely beautiful.

And as always, don't forget to subscribe and follow and all that good stuff.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"Welcome to a new segment that we're calling from the archive where basically I don't know if we'll ever do this again, but like we found a video that we made a long time ago and never released. So, here it is. It's not often that I do an unboxing anymore. And the reason for that is actually a good one because, you know, I think there's more value to other parts of the experience with a review or a build guide or a build log or whatever else. But this product, I actually started opening it up and I realized how fun the experience was and I went, \"Nah, let's put the few things we've taken out back in.\" And let's just start over. Welcome to my unboxing of the LD Cooling. They used to go by Little Devil. I think that's sort of unofficially what they still go as. PC V10 phase change cooled case. This puppy is going to hold your CPU, a 300 watt CPU, at minus30 degrees. GFuel is the sugar-free alternative energy beverage to maintain focus and endurance in long days and gaming sessions. Use offer code Linus at the link in the video description to save some money. So, let's open it up and have a look at what comes inside first, shall we? You get a couple of boxes, each of which has, I'm assuming, some kind of accessories or something like that. As soon as we take out the foam on the top, we've got the top of the case that is able to house a quad 120 mm radiator. The OEM for this case is Lean Lee, so you'll probably recognize a lot of the design elements of their PC V10 case. Also in here, we get a a neoprene insulation boot that there's going to be instructions. Oh, I seem to have misplaced the instructions. Well, there are instructions for how to put on the phase change cooler as well as some looks like adhesive neoprene material for insulation. Yes, when you are cooling below ambient temperatures, you have to insulate the cold stuff in order to keep condensation from forming and uh getting water on your hardware. Now, I don't think they include the needed eraser for most people, but they threw that in for me. I'm actually not 100% sure about that. And then the same with the PCI covers. Uh they sent those for me. Those are actually an additional purchase. Uh this, no idea, but it's a 3 and 12 to 2 and 1/2 in drive mount. So, I'm not sure if that's normally included. This all is though. This is a bunch of mounting hardware for your phase change cooler. It's compatible with pretty much any socket. So, you can see they've got your AMD holes, your Intel holes, your other more different Intel holes, some different Intel holes, and then this is a piece that goes on the back to keep the back plate itself from frosting up and then just dripping down the back of your motherboard. Then we've got another one of those puppies as well. Some more screws. And then this looks like uh I'm not sure. I know that there's a USB module that it includes that monitors the temperature so that you know you don't uh boot up before it's working and something something whatever it's in the instructions. All right, so now we got to take out these pieces of foam. Honestly, it's kind of a miracle that this thing arrived in one piece because this is pretty much the worst kind of foam. It only has about 2 in of it on either on every side. So, it weighs about 50 lb. 50 lbs without a system in it. All right. Which means getting out of getting it out of here is going to be a challenge because I'm not actually 100% sure if this applies to all uh systems with a condenser and an evaporator, all phase change systems like refrigerators for example. I know you shouldn't flip them on their sides if you intend to use them anytime in the next I don't know what it is, 48 hours or something like that. So, I don't want to flip this baby over cuz I want to try it out pretty quick. And I've had it sitting upright for a while. So, I actually have to lift this straight out. So, let's hope this goes okay. Let's clear some space. Let's put it up here. Okay. Nothing to hold on to. Oh, man. That's heavy. Yeah, I'm going to need a hand. Kill the camera. Okay, got it. So, I've clearly I'm clearly out of practice at this whole unboxing thing. My wife's like, \"Why don't you just cut the box open?\" Like, I I I don't know. Cuz I didn't think of it. What's up, little girl? Sorry about that. Little Missy was getting fussy over there. So, uh on the side that we had actually left off on, you can see that there's a very, very large window. I think there's actually a larger window option as well, but then the bottom part is just reserved for cooling. On the back, you can see we've got 10 PCI slots, uh, single 120 mm fan, power supply, and wa, there's already a a power plug there. I guess we can start opening it, right? I mean, that's how this works. Unboxing. There we go. We've got another plug there. That's for the Oo, there's our first glimpse of the uh phase change cooling inside. All right, let's go ahead and come around to this side where we've got all just plain white here. We should stay over on this side so we have light. Where we've got all just plain white as well as another fan vent there that looks like an exhaust. Wow, they included a Noctua industrial fan. These guys are serious about, you know, quality here. I mean, I guess if you're going to charge €1,200 for a case, it better be nothing but the finest. And then finally, that brings us around to the front where we've got four 5 and 1/4 in bays, two large intakes, the USB module thing, as well as our front switches. All right, so let's unveil her. Look at that. Now, it's all aluminum except for the bottom plate, which is steel to hold the weight of the compressor unit that is installed, pre-installed in the bottom. This is made in Slovenia. Check that out. And I guess all that's left now is for us to open it up. And oh, right. No, there's one thing that we can definitely check out. So, that's the thing that we heard banging around inside the case uh before we were able to open it. So, it's bubble wrapped. And that is the evaporator unit that is going to sit directly on top of the CPU, cooling it. And then let's go ahead and get the bottom opened up as well, so you guys can check this out. All right. So, this is curious. It looks like the case comes apart completely with Allen keys, like like with hex heads. All right, here we go. left side panel off. So, there's our window. In spite of no protective covering, it's in pristine condition. It looks like they're using a very different It's not glass, but uh it seems like a seems like a better acrylic. And then they've just got it adhered with adhesive strips and then it is slightly indented so it sits just almost flush with the side panel. Actually quite nice. It's a very DIY, but like in a good way. Uh, in this case, does seem to be a crack in the corner, though, actually. Oh, there's a crack in the corner. Yeah, there's definitely a crack there. So, this case is available without the the white out option. So, you can see the case is painted white and then the actual Here we go. Everything but the hold down plate and the boot here is actually uh white as well. So this is the lines here are insulated underneath this white sleing. And then there's more insulation here. And then this piece right here is for insulating the bottom right here. So you're actually going to have to cut that to size. You can see that nice shiny copper base there. Absolutely beautiful. I mean, you see a lot of DIY phase builds on forums like extremesystems.org or wherever else, but I've never actually seen like a commercial grade one like a like a like a professionally done one for for resale. So, that is pretty that is pretty incredible. So, we can Oh, okay. I'll take this baby. Thank you. So, what else we got in here? So, behind this plate, we've got five of Lean Lee's usual sort of you put rubber grommets into the drive on either side, put them down, and slide them in. 3 and 1/4 in bays. Uh 3 and 1/2 in bays, excuse me. We've got those uh four 5 and 1/4 in bays up here. I don't see any dedicated SSD mounting. Although it seems like if you got even remotely creative at all, you could drill a hole here or there, put some double-sided Velcro here or there, and make SSDs happen pretty much all over the place. We got a nice big cutout for CPU coolers, like say for example, this one. Getting those mounted with the motherboard installed. Um, I've kind of, this is kind of funny, even though they sent me the five pack of PCI covers, it didn't even occur to me at the time that I was ordering that I have 10 of these and I'm not putting in two graphics cards and something else. So, I'm probably going to have to figure out another solution for that. Anyway, this is an extremely roomy chassis. So, you can see that an ATX motherboard is only going to go up to here with like mounting holes going like way the heck off to who knows what the heck. You can put pretty much absolutely whatever you want in here. You can mount a 140 mm fan between the basement and the um No, you can't. That Oh, that's weird. So, you could Yes, you could screw through this side and mount a fan on this side blowing up at a graphics card or something like that, but actually that's going to be for your power supply if you wanted to have it um have it have top intake or something for some reason. So, let's go ahead and open up the basement and get a better look at the compressor. All right, here we go. Last screw. And there it is. Oh, that Noctua. Okay, so I'm not a phase change expert by any stretch of the imagination. The closest I've ever been to anything like this was the one time I did sub-zero cooling, and that was with chilled liquids. So, I bought a window AC unit and then basically submerged the uh the evaporator in liquid and then pumped that liquid around to my CPU. and I believe my GPU at the time. No, it might have been just GPU. Anyway, the point is um this is a totally other ball of wax. So, the evap head is up here. We know this. So, this is all insulated very nicely, very professionally glued together, lippity bloop. This is the condenser. So this is where the Okay, so the liquid basically boils on the CPU. Then it gets brought back around and then this is where it has to go from a vapor back to a liquid. So this is the condenser. So it's a 140 mm fan on there that is a pressure optimized fan. The manufacturer does recommend cleaning out the front very frequently because this is going to do all the cooling. This is what does all the cooling. So then once it turns back into a liquid, it comes back over here and then around and bippity boop, around and around we go. So this is that USB control board that I was talking about before. So this is where we've got it looks like a K-type temp probe that goes presumably right up to the evaporator head. So that's going to tell it how cold things are running and going to tell all these other things what to do. And then over here we've just got general ventilation for all this down here. Now, I don't know much about the individual models, but I do know that Danfos is well regarded as far as compact compressors go. This is what it's going to make the bulk of the noise of this system. It should be noted that phase change cooling, especially a compact unit like this, like I mean, I was using a window-mounted AC unit in order to get similar CPU temps, actually not even as good. Whereas, this has this tiny little condenser, like 16 the size. this tiny little evaporator, this tiny little compressor. So, it tries to make everything really compact. So, you're gonna have to make some compromises and noise is definitely one of them. Speaking of which, Ting, the mobile carrier that's focused on customer service and satisfaction first, which shouldn't be unusual, but it really feels like it is. And the one key difference, well, not the one, but one key difference is that when you call them, you do not speak to a robot. you actually get put through directly to a person. I mean, sure, the person says, \"Press one for billing. Press two for sales.\" No, I'm just kidding. They don't say that at all. They just pick up and they're like, \"Hello.\" Like, your mind is so blown, you forget what you were calling them about. But it's okay. You can call them back and talk to them again once you've recovered. The other great thing about TING is that they've got a pay only for what you use type of plan. So, the average TING bill is actually only $24 per month per device. So, all you got to do is head over to Linus.ing.com, which we've got linked in the video description, and try out the savings calculator. If you enter your last few bills and how much your actual usage was, and it turns out that you will save money with TING, they'll actually cover 25% of your cancellation fee in your existing contract, up to 75 bucks.
