  1. be nice if any time they advertised the PTM it was actually in stock
    i've never seen it in stock and waited weeks, ended up having to going with moddiy. this video is only 2 days old and its out of stock! I choose to, charitably, assume it was actually in stock at the time of release and they werent advertising something thats been impossible to buy for weeks as based on the existence of new reviews i can only assume they basically instantly sell out every time.

  2. Don't mock the 5,25in bay drawer! I got one in my case for the longest time (together with a 2x 2,5in hdd bay) and it's pretty handy for keeping a lot of trinkets

  3. Report the jerkoffs who offer something for a low price or free and then want to barter. Time to shut these creeps down!

  4. But if a viewer actually had this setup, it would be SO roasted.

  5. My near top of the line gaming PC is in an old dozen year old workstation rack mount case. Literally, there was only one sizing issue and it wasn't really an issue. The GPU power connector is touching the top of the case.

  6. 5:09 OSHA! WHAT FORM OF CURSE HAVE YOU LAID UPON ME?!

  7. Good ol reliable 12vhpwr connector

  8. As someone with a Lancool II; I cant wait to get an actually good case. Easily the most over rated case of all time

  9. this was a dumb and impractical video…

  10. I had to skip this video because the grinding noise is unbearable.

  11. I actually had an idea for a crazy case, would it be possible to completely embed a computer in a brick of potting compound, and then fan cool that brick of epoxy? I imagine you just need to have the heatsink/heatpipes protrude through the top of the brick.
    Imagine playing minecraft on fan cooled cube.

  12. little boy wanted to surprise daddy with some cool new features on daddy's gaming pc. man, u should see daddy's face when he saw the results….😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵😵😵/s. thx linus!!

  13. I haven't put the side on my case after buying a 4080s, the sketchy new connector squeezes against the glass and I'm afraid it's going to burn the connector.

  14. Guys; stop looking like girls at 2:50. Do not use such tools upside down if you do not need to increase risk of injury; TURN THE PC Case the other way up (upside down) to work on the grinding easily.

  15. Hope it is a 488 pista engine. It would be very fitting as its a twin Turbo v8

  16. if i want to upgrade from the type of case linus built which one recommended?

  17. I've carried my case forward since 2005. But it IS time for another case… eventually. Maybe on the next build.

  18. My last computer case was a Corsair 900D not 9000D, 900D. The Case is MASSIVE It was supposed to the last case ill ever need. big enough to accommodate all of my custom water cooled dreams. Well that thing is now bulky, cumbersome, and i actively avoid having to move it or do maintenance. I had the case for over 12 years so it had a good life. I recently upgraded to a 011D evo RGB. big enough to accommodate my liquid cooling but much smaller and more convenient. maybe one day ill want to build a mini beast. but who knows.

  19. Many moons ago I bought a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000, it currently has its 3rd computer inside it and thanks to Windows 11 will soon have its 4th PC inside it. Also I am one of those people that bought a 5 1/4" bay adapter to put front USB 3.0 in the system 🙂

  20. Most of those "vintage" cases are real tough steel, not the foil crap you'd get with almost any case under $100 nowadays, that was the #1 'selling point' for me when I picked one up 😉

  21. Oh my God this is a visual disaster. But it works.

  22. Or just you know. Don't buy a $100 case for a $1000 pc.

  23. Sure !

  24. i used to like you Elijah 🤣 boomer star wars?

  25. This is fantastic and also stupid too much work

  26. Yo, why are Elijah's eyes so yellow? Did you get your bilirubin levels checked recently, bro?

  27. I got a drawer!

  28. Adam the computer guy should have his own videos

  29. I kinda miss those days where you had to mod your Case yourself or have a friend do it to not have a beige case with no fans or windows.
    I even cut those holes for fans like 5 years ago for a friend who didn't want to buy a new case for the new PC, i was building for him.

  30. the last month or so….. ground news sponsors all of youtube

  31. Elijah is in 95% of videos, which is more than Linus- ETT 🎉

  32. I've been doing this for years…
    People just made fun of me for it.
    They kept saying my computers were a fire hazard and that they were going to explode soon. That never happened.
    Just haters with no vision.

  33. Alex makes things work better.

  34. Gods, I love old school case mods. More of this!

  35. Street no 9

  36. "Many people won't have the tools at home" Who doesn't have an angle grinder?

  37. 9:37 WHAT IS THAT DANGLING

  38. This tip only works if you already have all the tools, otherwise a new case is much cheaper.

  39. Amazon sells inexpensive small box fans starting at 9 inch. I'd love to see this type of build with the largest one that fits attached in the side panel as a massive intake fan…

  40. Note that the case would have fit a 120mm exhaustion fan in the back that they didn't installed.
    And it completely lacks the 3.5" housing.

  41. ok he calls boomer star wars AHHHHH he needs to sat down and forced too watch till he under stands the reality

  42. no one noticed the wiener on linus?

  43. Linus: save money by using cheap case.

    Also Linus: spend money on renting tools to modify your old cheap case for it to work with new hardware.

  44. "Now you have a feature " – linus 2024

  45. Now do the same but with your laser cutter tool to make it "beautiful" and compare than the models 😀

  46. Elijah shouldn't be able to walk around without a guide. Especially after that comment on star wars.
    He puts holes in anything that can't run, is collecting funko pops and has two belle delphine keyboards. This guy needs help. Why is everyone looking the other direction. Do it for him.
    And don't let him into the workshop

  47. Inflation so crazy linus tryna help u save money

  48. loved "Adam the computer guy " xD
