Hey Jeff. Long time viewer and subscriber, very infrequent YT commenter here. First, a hearty commendation to your esteemed camera operator for a stellar job. Getting the details on build videos is never easy. Also, loved the overall vibe which was a curious mix of generic tech youtuber build video as well as a sarcastic take on how seriously both tech creators and viewers treat this sort of thing - very meta (and f*ck Zuck for ruining that word for me!).

Trying to find an ITX case with both is very tricky unless you also search for HTPC and then the prices skyrocket, presumably because they figure they're catering for a different / wealthier demographic than typical DIY PC builders. Means I end up drilling a lot of holes in older PC cases designed before GN made them aware of air flow!!

I hope they continue to be so competitive and awesome, especially since Amazon has higher prices, lower convenience, and much more evil... but I worry that Amazon is quickly becoming *so* ubiquitous that the general public may soon just forget that other retailers even exist.
