Lol. There are always going to be knockoffs.

Nanoxia always made these kind of cases

I have zero experience with this brand just to clarify, i just find them very familiar.

Nice side fact: they're manufactured in the same factory hall.

 

I don't know what has been there first, but they're a high quality german company, so it's pretty legit.

 

Edit: i have some nice braided 3-pin fan cable splitters from Nanoxia. They're actually really good quality.

who cares...

I hate how boring Newegg's video are. They just read a script and it's super boring. 

Yolk'd is pretty funny for a script :D

I am talking about their product overviews. Yold'd is pretty decent, but still obviously a script.

I meant "similar" not "familiar" ofc. :D

Yea, it would seem quite challenging to remember all the of the script and get every detail.

I just wish Newegg could make it at least a little bit more interesting. I mean, look at NCIX daily. They add some good humor in there and make it interesting

For the regular videos i agree, but they never seem to fail on Yolk'd. At least for me :D

They came out at same I think, they have a similar boxy minimalist look but internals are different, the front doors are different....far from a rip off, if the original DS1 came out a year after the R4, then I could justify saying a rip off in style

Is that the one with the to0 foof thing? And I didnt know they had they I guess the didnt have the models I wanted.

Just checked it is I love that think but I dont think it could take my h320 inthe top :( might still use for a different pc though.

Umm I might be able to... Do you think I can fit push-pull up there?

So yea umm just bought a DS6 and its totally worth it for the size, quality and layout in my opinion (as you can probably tell).

Honestly find that Linus became more entertaining with the freedom of his own channel. NCIX held him back in the same ways Newegg seems scripted.

Edit: What I'm saying is that the people on the channel are more the problem than Newegg/NCIX production team or whatever unless they are extremely restrictive about what the "host" can say.

Get the Deep silence 1 instead, just better case, and better then the R4 in terms of quietness and radiator support

oh and nanoxia have been around since 2007.

if you still are worried about H320 here is a picture to make you feel better.

The more i look at it the more i want to mod a 480 into the roof.

yep saw that. I plan to put in in push pull in the top. Ill be posting a update in my build log soon with the fan layout.

I think It would be cooler to fit it in the front then you could have a 360 + a 480 + even a 240. Also dont forget beside the bottom mounts its setup to take all 140mm fans in addition to 120mm. I how ever dont know if there are any good 280mm or 480mm rads. We really lack some pressure optimized 140mm fans as well.

Nanoxia has been around for ages and definitely before Fractal R4, they have mainly been sold in Europe though, I think this is just the US debut.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

And im so glad they did make their debut, DS6 FTW!

Any good 140mm rads thought you know 2x 3x or 4x etc. i understand why there isnt really as 140mm mounts really only became standard relatively recently.
