love that it kinda looks like an Xbox so each time people come up to your living room and say "wow, that's an awesome looking Xbox" you can just say something like "Looks like a glorified Xbox if you ask me, you peasant!"

How the heck did you get a Dr. Zaber Sentry Case?

From Mr Ząber himself ;) 

I was the third youtuber in the world (after LInus and Dmitry) to lay hands on the Sentry. I published a thorough evaluation of a black one two weeks ago.

This one is an engineering sample number 00013 :D

Oh... That makes sense, so it's pre-production?

I'm not sure If You guys were wondering whether the first image is a render or not, but it's not :)

 

zbeegniev got the case from us because he's got quite a skill for proper and thorough reviews, and has interiors in his flat that are universally suiting presentation of modern appliances such as our chassis. Make sure to watch his review if You haven't done so already:

And yes, this white beauty is still a pre-production unit, with some most recent refinements, but stay tuned guys, we're almost there :)

Hmm this feels like some wrapping a high end sports car.

You'd be surprised how many supercars are wrapped.

Automotive industry aside, I see your point.

But you must know that I'm a youtuber, trying very hard to gain subscribers. While a gaming PC build video in a Sentry case would be a solid content, there's a chance that a Star Wars themed build will result in a much higher exposure. I will be making the decals myself (I know I called it 'wrap' before) so there will be some DIY involved, which should also make the video more interesting than a plain assembly.

Here's a quick pic of the case disassembled that I took when test fitting the RX480... The XFX GTR Black Edition uses pretty much every inch available in the GPU compartment ;)

Slight change of plans, the PSU will be Silverstone SST-SX500-LG 500W fully modular.
