Can't wait for the rest of this build!!

Lol, I'm still using my Haf X, it's a pretty good case just not very pretty and a bit too much plastic on the front and top for my liking.

We are building in this currently, so I was fizzing all over the place when I see Wendell and HAF 700. Fitting 2x 360mm rads in the roof is just too good to pass up! Personally I can't get enough of big cases, this build will be replacing the venerable EVGA DG-85 that's been on the desk for years now. Cheers Wendell!

Big cases are cool! (or at least a lot cooler than SFF cases) Really looking forward to your future plans with this crazy case. Stick as many rads as you can in on that custom loop and see how low the temps can get with low fan speeds. Waaay too expensive for me, but fun to gawk at.

Loved this video! Sharp looking case.

Thanks, always enjoy your videos.

Great video, LOVE this case! To tackle the HUGE increase in heat from all this next generation hardware, surely there is finally the incentive for the majority of people, who can afford to buy the top of the range new gear, to switch to custom water loop cooling, as the ultimate way to cool, stabilise, silent running, and performance boosting (no thermal throttling)? I am planning on a single custom water loop with three 420mm radiators (which was over the top in previous generations, but if you still want silent and extreme cooling, now sounds sensible), with water cooling blocks for CPU, GPU, M.2 gen5 drive (which apparently WILL need cooling), and even DDR5 RAM. I'm currently thinking a Cooler Master HAF 700 BERSERKER or EVO pc case, although I heard a rumour that although Cooler Master claim you can install a 420mm radiator in top + side and bottom at the SAME TIME, there is no holes suitable for a 420mm at the top of the case; so if you could check this, and if it proves the case (pun intended) check what would be the maximum possible water cooling setup in that case, eg. would you get even more 'passive' cooling two X 360mm top + 420mm side + 420mm bottom simultaneously, possibly even something on the front or back. Would love some expert advice for us enthusiasts wanting the ultimate in water cooling and silent rigs. Thanks in advance from a loyal viewer.

With regards to computational fluid dynamics, check out Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) which is open-source and developed by NIST. The install comes with a library of sample files/test cases. I script all the samples to run whenever I set up a new machine. There are binaries for Windows and Linux, or you can just build from source.

That might fit a 4090 and power supply. 😆 🤣 😂

Old School Enterprise guy, I dig your style man. Those of us in this industry can appreicate not only this cats knowledge, but he's funny as well. Keep on keeping on.

Serious question: would that 3.5" drive cage be suited to a set of 2x2.5" drive docks/conversion sleds from a company like IcyDock or StarTech? Or is the layout of the cage too tight for that to work? It would be very nice to have 8 SAS 24Gbps SSDs all in one location so that the cables can be easily managed to a PCIe HBA.

that looks like a proper chonky case.... I'm loving the dual 200mm front fans...

the "post credits"-pun caught me off guard 😂

the layout of this case is very similar to the lianli O11D-XL, I actually wonder if the side mounted distribution plate for the o11d (for a custom loop) would fit in the same place in this case

Thank you for this Punishment xD

still rockin my Cosmos II. actually it holds up one end of my desk so I can't get rid of it even if I wanted to.

Liked only and only for consistency in throwing puns our way 😂

Even bigger than my Phanteks p600s, with no RGB, and no glass. It's nice and quiet in my home recording studio. When you think about the cost of all the components the case is a cheap upgrade by comparison and I love rebuilding. 😄

Super exciting!

You just HAF to go on and on! I mastered my calm and bore the storm. Sadly I can't afford this, but I did have the HAF932, sadly it was given to a friend. After it was loaded up and had the wheels on I heard a crunch. The weight actually crushed one of the wheels it came with.

So far the coolest case i've ever seen. new case a love 🙂

I didn't know I needed terrible puns over the video's build portion until today

I can't believe that you were able to escape the SFF wormhole!

I love that this thing is so massive we basically can't see Wendell when it's turned sideways.

The front panel looks like the grill on an old school space heater.

Wendell, When he's on the case he ain't haf apeeling, and always punny.. Back to you....

I love Level1Techs!

Wendell, you are the best. You got me rollin'. lol Excellent!

I lost count the number of times I bellowed "damnit Wendell!"

I have a big case fetish, but I also like the space to be used sensibly... All that space and no disk drive bay? :-(

Жыл бұрын

Did you not watch the video? This case have a rear drive bay that can fit 4X 3.5" HDD's and it also have place for 2 additional ones on that cable cover plate and also 3 more on those multi function brackets in the front area of the rear bay so a total of 9 HDD's can be fitted at the back and also if you really wanted to squeeze more in you have 2 more places in the front bay with those brackets for a maximum of 11 HDD's or SSD's. That is a hell of a lot of drives. Way more then most people will ever need. If you have nothing to fit in the front end of the front area then you can always occupy that space by putting some action figure there like Darth Vader or The Hulk for instance!😁

@@SkyForce6700 When I said disk-drive bay, I meant a slot for a cd burner or Blu-ray burner... All the things you mentioned are internal and not accessible from the outside so they are not suitable for the purpose I described

Haha these puns were great!

I hope they make a HAF 500 EVO for micro-atx sized pcs with top and front/side 280mm radiator support

Big case fetish. I have an EVGA DG87 and a Lian Li DK-03. Enjoyed the pun'ishment.

I currently have my rig in a Thermaltake Level 20 HT and still said, "HOLY SH@T!!!", when I saw that thing. 🤣🤣

thank you Wendell

I wish the front wasnt so busy. this case seems great

It's missing 1 vital thing. The 5.25" bay. This is mostly the reason I still using the Cooler Master HAF 932, and a Corsair 760T and 750D. And yes, my Blu-Ray drives get used at least 2 to 5 times a week. Burning CDs or watching movies. The disc isn't completely dead yet lol. If their selling them, I'm still buying them.

I am a great fan of you! Is this case able to accommodate dual RTX 4090 (3.5 slot width) and can support proper cooling?

I almost bought one but....after virtual building into it I realized it has the same problem Corsair cases have they advertise radiators placement everywhere but once you measure them and the fans and a reservoir AND fittings...you see you can't use them alll, while on a lian li dynamic o11 XL like I have..you can fit 2x 360x54mm + 1x 360x30mm rads and a reservoir+pump, I really wish it wasn't like that because with almost all high end boards being E-ATX now even the dynamic XL feels too small (rgb wiring doesn't help you'll be fine without 40 rgb wires and two corsair commanders)

20 seconds in and I'm already crying LMAOOOO

Ah, Wendell. HAF puns, will travel!

I can't believe you missed a perfect pun HAF way through the build... Waiting for the FUL 1400 review next.

I really think Level1 could benefit from more lights in the studio. When showcasing black objects, a lot of details are lost - even on my other vise quite bright monitors.

I love that they are planning a no bling version

Great punsors

You sound like me when i was trying to open a can of beans this morning.

At least you warned us that you won't be HAF assing the puns.

Those RGB fans look FANtastic.

Wendell got into the candy stash before he recorded this one.

Finally after a decade HAF is back.

That's one big ass box if Wendell can fit in there.

When are they going to refresh my favorite case? The HAF XB EVO? IIRC i built a dual Xeon X5690 system in one of these.

The artic freezer 4U despite the name, is to tall for a 4U rackmount chassis. Jeff over at kraft computing found out the hard way.

1:20 AY YO RGB AIR? POG

Those jokes were at least HAF good ;D Do you HAF anymore? a Pun competition? I HAF to win!~ Do I HAF what it takes?

Great video! The pouns were really nice to HAF. By the way does anybody know if this case is free of heavy metals like, say, HAFnium?

Would you do a 3.5-inch HDD rattle test for this case? See what will come loose or is it even worth the noise of 12 HDDs under load.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"im not goona run the CPU the same time as GPU" I Love It!!!

I've never laughed so much in a case review

This will do what I want but might be overkill. I want to run a basic ATX system (ATX board, medium sized PSU, single high end GPU with AIO, capture card, maybe a single 2.5" SATA SSD with the M.2s handling most) but with room for a 420mm AND a 360mm AIO. Looking at Fractal Meshify 2 XL for that. Any other suggestions?

Wendell lifting 130 pounds up the stairs? His 4090 shipment must have come in

Just bought mine. It's definitely the last case I'll ever need.

LOL HOLY SHIT AT THAT BOX DROP that's amazing

Surprised there is no component list in the description...

This is basically my current build except I'm putting two 4090s in my build and I went with the haf 700 Berserker because the case is basically the same for half the price of the Evo.

unparalleled radiator support? where am I going to fit my 540mm rad? (still waiting on a true RV/FT02 successor)

I'm not even haf way through and I don't get haf the puns

Gonna need this case to fit that AIB NVIDIA 4090

You need this case for the 4090!!!

I don't haf a clue with most of these puns.

Ohh. I’m still rocking a HAF 932

Finding a way to fit all those puns in it's obvious your editor is your better HAF, in fact I bet you came up with so many of them they had to meet you HAF way on the edits. It's a shame but understandable you only Haf @$$Ed the build so far, I can't wait to the see the other HAF with the benchmarks

So you could say you’re doing HAF of the build in this video and HAF in another. :P

@Level1Techs what was the software for the rgb like @gearseekers had a horrible time with it as it kept resetting itself. ??

Someone gave you two A6000s? That's crazy

Does this case also do well for the "ASRock WRX80 Creator" ?

Great video review, not HAF bad at all!

That’s no computer case, that’s a mobile home!

This is my next case (well the non-EVO version.... maybe) I have a Threadripper 1000 system ready for its new home Then I'll either toss in a TR 3000 or 7000 system in the EVO eventually 😈 It'll be glorious!

Dumb question. How much plastic is there on the outside? One of the things I'm looking for on a premium case is basically minimal (ideally no) plastic on the outside.

does a new HAF case come out every 2 months?

Ouch my knees

Would it weigh a HAF-ton if it had water cooled build in it?

I'm glad I dont HAF to have a case this gigantic

Those 120mm exhausts look tiny in that thing...about HAF sized, even.
