Dumbest case I've seen in years

[tkitch]

Not the dumbest case I've ever seen (cuz there have been some truly atrocious ones) but...  this is pretty terrible

Air Cooler with the weirdest airflow pattern ever, or you can do up to 3x 120mm Rads for the most annoying 360mm watercooling ever!

It looks like Iron Man's Arc Reactor

The McOrb sounds like a limited edition Happy Meal toy

Support for massive GPUs and coolers, 1x2.5" and 2x3.5" (which means potentially 5x2.5"), absolutely huge but airflow is going to be godmode in that thing. Disregarding price, which I'm guessing is in the $200-300 range, if you enjoy or can at least live with the bizarro aesthetic, that's actually a pretty solid case in a weird body.

 

I love the name "McOrb" btw

if you think "big and lots of fans" automatically means awesome airflow?

Go look up the GN Video "12 Fans, No Chill"

 

big ol honkin' case, 12 included case fans, and shitall for airflow

Not available in blue because they'd get sued by Sega.

ill have like 40+ fans in my build...

 

case is not that bad but most likey cost more then its worth thow. its an air flow case not a water cooling case but some one will water cool in it.

Funny enough I saw one of these in blue the other day when hitting a store - it was hosting Sonic-themed build.

As others already pointed out, from a fuild dynamic viewpoint the airflow is gonna be a mess. Way too many random openings, and the multiple fan orientations will cause a hell of a turbulence.

The way the fans are set up in the picture is pretty stupid. Have hot GPU exhaust pulled through the 120mm CPU radiator. It looks like there are 9 fan mounts. Doesn't look like there's anywhere to put a rad bigger than 120mm, so I'd go with a big dual-tower air cooler if I had a CPU that required me to channel the power of the north pole to keep it under 90C. You could balance out those 9 fan curves really easily to keep it nice and cool in there, including having some of them shut down when you don't need full-blast cooling. Added bonus is that with so many fans, there are basically dedicated intake/exhaust for each component.

 

It looks ridiculous, it probably costs way too much and it's not for me, but I still think that would be a solid choice for a lot of use cases. If you want a truly dumb case, go to Amazon and search "cool pc case", then look at all the $70-120 ultra-tight mid-towers that are basically a sheet of metal with slabs of tempered glass on the front and side, one 120mm exhaust and an "intake" that consists of a 0.5" wide, 1" long slit under the front panel. But it's got tons of potential for high-end CPUs because it can support a CPU cooler of up to 155mm, and what CPU can't be cooled by a Vetroo V5, right?

I just can't unsee the cheap happy meals toy look now ~

Impressive.

 

Let's see the AC input for the power supply.

 

[porina]

I like it. At least it isn't yet another boring box.

looks like a 90 degree cable going out the bottom between the fans down there

These fans cancel each other

Yeah it looks too close to sonic

[artuc]

Just hear me out guys.

 

Ditch the glass, mesh the side, make the entire case one huge ass blower with your PC inside.

Those look like huge Beyblades.
