Could not agree more, this one is more like another showpiece for your gaming room.

Summary Thermaltake partnered with Studio F. A. Porsche to design and release the new ARGENT E700 gaming chair, it's gorgious, and it costs $1300. Quotes My thoughts I think kidneys are no longer a viable option... The chair looks luxurious, the choice of colors is pretty neat, I love it from an aesthetic perspective. However, when seeing the $1300 price tag I cannot help but laugh at this being marketed as a "gaming chair". Even when it comes to high end, would you really pay this much on a gaming chair, where for less than half the price you can grab yourself the most ergonomic chair you can imagine? I know with this price tag, they're not looking to satisfy your average gamer, rather a very niche "elite" market. It's a status chair designed by Porsche, that is all.

Holy hell this is awesome!!! Great job! I love how you made the joints and drawers so you can access the components easy! Is woodwork something you do as a job / hobby?

I did this with another case. The case uses Addressable RGB; the SATA connection provides +5V and Ground. That means the wire you're holding has the D and Ground pins. If you can figure out which is which, you can connect them to the motherboard's ARGB header's D & Ground pins respectively. It doesn't work without modding tho, you'll need to diy the connection since the two plugs are not made for each other.

Wow this thing is insane! I haven't seen a uATX case this compact with standard component compatibility before!

I built once in it, it's not hard at all if you follow the manual, you can also find some good build videos on it. I used mine for gaming while travelling, it does the job very nicely but is a bit loud because of the PSU fan while gaming. Yes it's very small, but it's well optimised imo, cable management isn't as easy as in a big case, but it's also one of the easiest that I came across in this form factor (I've built 5 SFF PCs in the past 2 years) especially with the built-in PSU. What you need to note is that of course no graphics card can be installed unless you mod the case, and you're limited to 2x 2.5" HDD/SSD in addition to any M.2 slots available on your motherboard, the worst thing about this case is how loud the PSU is when you're running high load, it's comparable to a laptop when you game on it, pretty loud. You could replace the PSU fan but this as well requires modding - google replacing flex PSU fan (Optimum Tech did a nice video on it) I highly recommend this case if you're specifically going for an APU build on the go in this very sff, but if you plan to have a fixed place for the PC and wouldn't wanna carry it around, I recommend something bigger for less noise, better cooling and upgradeability like: Fractal Design Node 202 Silverstone RVZ01-E, RVZ02 (can attach a carrying handle to it), ML08, RVZ03 Cooler Master NR200(P)

Thank you very much! Also thanks for the video, I need it. I actually used this mod as a way to learn weathering techniques using only spray paint and a shop towel

In Silent Hill we have the Otherworld, this is what I imagine Antec's Dark Cube case would look like in that world. If you're a fan of the franchise, you should recognize the knife Btw this was my entry for Germany's Case Mod Championship (DCMM) in Cologne this year, didn't win but hell it was fun to make and to participate

Thanks!! Nothing a heat gun couldn’t manage

Yea that crossed my mind too and I’m keeping an eye on it, the 3M vinyl is holding tight so far where peak temps are around 60•C

Oh yea I enjoy his case content as well, also learned a lot from his modding videos.

You're right about that, subjectivity is quite limited when it comes to cases, although I'd say some features could count towards that like integration of fan controllers, swapable panels, water cooling compatibility... etc. But hey you can see all that in the specs of a case, no need to go look for reviews. Airflow and ease of build are what could be "tested".

This is a special treat for all SFF fans, I wanted to do something elegant and simple. The front panel, graphics card backplate as well as the CPU waterblock are vinyl wrapped, haven't used any real wood.

@More Spencer @Video Beagle @cacoe @mariushm So according to all of your answers it's basically not worth it for LTT, not that they have a stake somewhere and there's conflict of interest like the impression I got first.. There are arguably great case reviewers like @mariushm & @cacoe mentioned, I usually watch Hardware Canucks' and Gamers Nexus' reviews to get an idea. It's probably objective, but I enjoyed LTT's a lot too, but I might be biased cuz I'm a case modder

Hi all, I’m just curious why Linus doesn’t make case reviews anymore. He mentioned something on one of the last WAN Shows about investing and conflicts of interest, but I’m not up to date and didn’t understand the connection with pc cases. it’s just curiosity and because I loved watching his case reviews.
