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.
 

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.

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.

What? I think the most expensive office chairs I see are 1500 and those are the top of the line ones unless they have gone way up in price the last time I looked. Also the idea that anything under 500 is crap is actually ridiculous. I would say first off I have a chair that cost about 400ish and honestly I can't tell muc of the difference between it and my friends Herman Miller aeron. As someone who spends alot of time sitting at my desk my chair has been a lifesaver and has done wonders for stopping alot of the issues I had with my wrist and back. 

Or, Spend $200 on a chair and $1100 on a GPU. 
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

My grandfather was a carpenter, I studied engineering, worked in a machine shop for a bit, did some general contracting for a bit now I develop IOT for environmental monitoring. This was kinda a personal dream of mine for a bit and i had developed the craft to design and build it though i must say it was hella hard on a table saw and the openings made with a dremmel.

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?

So it's been almost a year and I finally worked up the confidence to show off my build. plz go easy on crit of the components as they are all budget i think in toto ~$1100 barring components i didn't already have... also in as far as case i built it all from 1 sheet of 2'x4' cedar plywood no room for error lol... i made a couple niks in it wish i hadn't... I planned the design off of a test bench... lemme know your thoughts and questions

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)

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 😍

nice job! looks clean, especially that CPU block with all those edges is very well done. 🙌

I like it, very sleek!

@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 😅

Just finished my Deadpool case mod project, it's my second mod and I went mid-range budget on it.
Since it's a splatterfest, I went team red for the specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Graphics: PowerColor Radeon RX 590 Red Dragon 8 GB RAM: DDR4 16 GB at 3000 MHz Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty B350 Gaming-ITX/ac Storage: 240 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD Case: NZXT H210 with the self made Deadpool case mod Enjoy the eye candy!
 
Cheers,

Looks amazing! Great job

Here's another mod I worked on a while ago..
Wanted to make a generic laptop case (from a German manufacturer called Nexoc) a little more interesting with CS:GO's notorious Asiimov weapon skin.

Or the perfect marriage of blue and red 

With an RTX and watercooling? Your Deadpool would make a splatterfest out of mine ?
