Awesome video, I think the case is amazing.... however I can't find the actual product itself on Amazon. Can anyone be of assistance?  

Also, @LinusTech do you think there would be an easy DIY way to make the case Red?

[Skiiwee29]

Wow.. thee Linus posted this himself instead of Nick.. impressed!!

Spray paint the orange accents and add red LED's.

I felt that it was a little cliché for me to say "me five", but still being the 5th person to agree. You'd be the 6th.

 

Anyways, the built in Qi wireless charging sounds so cool, especially because I have a Galaxy S6. However, I'm sure the pricing can't be very "pretty". I mean I think an H440 might stretching it a little bit. I guess maybe I could just buy a wireless charging puck from Samsung so I can easily charge my phone when I'm using my PC. I would also hope that a case (Otterbox Commuter) wouldn't cause too much of an issue... I hope.

 

Edit: I just went to Be Quiet!'s website to see the pricing of the 900 and 900 Pro... €200 to €250 (in my currency US$220 to US$275) Yeah sorry Be Quiet! but I think I'll have no choice but to pass, nice case anyways.

That would make an amazing case mod, building in a Qi wireless charging pad. @LinusTech Potential video idea

I just looked up pricing of the 900 and 900 Pro in USD it's $220 to $250 (at least if it's an even conversion from about €200 to €250). I think that modding in a Qi charging pad would be a whole lot cheaper.

Oh that's the pro, so it's a little cheaper than it's EUR pricing on the Be Quiet! website. Noice?

[Mr.Bison]

so what is the better choice to buy? dark base 900 or the Enthoo Evolv Atx tempered glass?

[Lewellyn]

Might get one of these when I hand down some of my PC to my brother.

allthough the prices on the website are always way to high, you get them most times for less. I found offers for the pro for 210€

I am that guy who says, "A case for $250? Wha??"

[Cracklingice]

Black and orange cable mod cables would have looked good in that case.  Can't seem to find the link for the cooler video and grats on 2 million subs

 

[Heesleemer]

So he talked about how modular it is, without actually showing the modularity?

[Inthebay]

Gorgeous case, and features. You sure get what you pay for, and I think a lot of people don't put enough investment in their cases when they build a new rig. Something like this may not be for everyone, but when you make your living with your PC and use it every day, its totally worth the investment in something solid. Great review! Super in-depth, as usual.
