The reason that cables have been from the front is that glass PC cases are "new". 8 years ago you didn't care how the cables looked, because your case was a closed metal box, so that's where the cables went.

This is because motherboards have standards, and those standards aren't often changed for a trivial trend in case design. If you were to make a motherboard with a completely different layout, it would instantly become incompatible with a lot of hardware and case setups. If everything starts to transition to this model, then it'd be a good thing, but don't underestimate why the friction exists in the first place. We're lucky we can buy any case we want, with any motherboard we want, and everything typically just works. Companies usually fight for proprietary systems.

My next build will have a custom water cooler system, but that is a no-brainer for these aesthetic builds!

About time something like this exists. I can say this actually looks futuristic. GPU vendors would do quite well with moving the power cable connector to the back. They've learned red and black isn't cool anymore, airflow IS important, tempered glass, RGB, and now (hopefully) clean aesthetics.

Thats a clean build for sure, beautiful work of art!

Would love to see an ITX tower akin to the H1 with this style. Sandwich style makes it a bit more of a pain, but possibly you could have a "middle" compartment in which all the cabling goes. Perhaps the case would be in two pieces with a hinge to open it up for easier access. Just spitballing, but it would be nice to see

Some of the Asus BTF motherboards are apparently going to feature a high power delivery PCIe slot that can deliver up to 600W of power to tackle the GPU cabling issue. Seems like a very smart approach that removes the need for specific GPU models with rear-facing connectors. If that works out well I fully expect it to become the standards for other BTF motherboards like this in the future.

@msytdc1577

2 ай бұрын

They should just amend the PCI-E spec to add a dedicated slot connector past the x16 length for direct power delivery from fixed plugin ports mounted to the back, front, or edges of the motherboard. Removable hot swap PSU modules can deliver 1200w-3000w of +12v on a 2-3" wide PCB connector, so there is zero concern with power density or having to reinvent the wheel. They just need to pick a standard and go with it, not rocket science.

Been following you for awhile. Really appreciate your approach to builds. Where if anywhere can someone either have you do a build for them directly, or order from a source where they use your builds as a template and recreate them for the public? This is the exact aesthetic I have been waiting for. Add to that some version of "reasonably quiet" (with the correct fan curves etc) and some very high end hardware (4090+ etc) and this may be the perfect pc.

Very nice idea! I remember removing bottom case fans to change my case's 'power button LED' .. and later again to connect a 'PCIE x4 wifi card', with this layout it would've just been plug and play!

Now what's only left is having the aio tubes go out the back

That's great! I can chuck it in the basement and hook it up to the 50 foot fiber hdmi and usb-c cable going to the room's keystone jacks and never look at it again just like my current build lol.

Looks great and all for the simpler connectivity

Looks really nice, but I hope this stays in the pre-built section rather than this becoming the new standard. Can only image how much more annoying it would be having to check compatibility between your motherboard and case more than people already have to, not to mention it's reversing standardization that we've had for years. It could be quite annoying to have Gigabyte motherboards only fit in X companies cases for example, it reduces choice and variation between builds.

@Summer-xu8qu

It’d be no problem if it actually becomes a “new standard”. All the major cases coming out would support this if this is common enough, to avoid missing/losing out. And it’s not like it is too much of a hassle, they just need to make extra cutouts The problem is that if this is only a half-assed attempt that only a handful of selected models are “inverted”, like you suggest. Then case companies might just not be bothered to support it. I personally like this idea, even if you don’t care about the aesthetic, the cable management is just much easier with the connectors on the backside

Looks amazingly clean, I would even go without any lighting option tbh and in total black colour.

Great idea, surprised it hasn't caught on sooner. Cos as well as all the other benefits you mentioned, it will probably improve the airflow a lot. I assume air having to run around circular cables probably creates a whole bunch of little vortexes making things slow down quite a bit vs air simply sliding against larger surfaces of the components.

10 seconds into the video and the difference in audio is very noticeable. Not bad but you can hear the echo because the warehouse is still pretty empty. Doesn't turn me off the video tho. Just a thing that I immediately noticed. Love your videos ❤

I actually like wires when they're done right with color matched sleeves for all the cables, I've got some nice well organized White extensions- those light up ones are pretty neat too. Of course the back looks like a rat's nest! I love the way my wires add to the way my PC looks. I do know a lot of People hate cables though.
