I'm currently alternating Air-cooled and Water-cooled builds in lots of different cases to see how they all cope. If you have any "cool" cases you'd like to see me make a video of/with, let me know through Facebook, Twitter, or through any of the comments sections of my videos.
Thank you for any support you give, even down to checking out some videos.
If any company has any tech they would like me to look at, please contact me through the email below.

Solid review! I purchased this case 3ish years ago (I think full price) and I absolutely love it. I’m doing my 2nd build in this case currently. It looks incredible and has fantastic airflow. Very happy with this buy!
It's crazy that this is considered a "Mini" case, it's still too big to put on a desk. I mean, you could, but why would you want to. Why is all PC stuff so dam BIG
Wir hoch war sein erster ram
The biggest issue for me was the Drive Cage. If you have the impertinence to actually wish to install a 3.5 inch spinning drive there has been no consideration for proper clearance for the SATA cable connectors. I tried both straight and 90 degree types, (you also are forced to attach the cables before screwing the drive into the cage to avoid damage) and neither cage position will allow it to fit period - the cage retaining screw will not align. I can only think I will have to secure the cage at an angle with a cable tie if I want to use the drive at all! ☹
i bought an intel i7 13700k from my local computer shop. been having issues with my PC running games mostly. like BAD. Is there a serial number or anything i can look up to make sure it was new? cuz they gave it to me at a discount price.
Worst review ever.... Talking and talking without any point...
nice herpes bro
Got it for 70€ on sale, i really liked the look of it, but its HEAVY and some installation steps are just a pain, youre so right about that. Im using it with 2x140mm intake on bottom, 2x140mm exhaust on the top and a 120mm exhaust on the back, it actually performs really well in that configuration
Been using this for 2 years now. Its a decent case. even the fans still work, even though theyre kinda loud.
Excellent review. I have using Rev. B since 2015 on a Haswell machine and now gonna install it on AM4. Great product.
I got a prebuilt with this case and I was trying to remove the right panel (the one WITHOUT glass) and I CANNOT get it off no matter how hard I’ve tried. And yes I took off the screws, lol. I’m trying to add a SATA drive.
with the platinum SF600/750 i could easily fit a slim exhaust fan underneath the power supply- and you can fit a 2.5 inch drive. i think you just don’t really understand what sff cases in this price bracket are about… sacrifices are knowingly being made in the name of aesthetics and/or portability.
Not a fan of RGB or aquarium cases, this is the look.
wow you put a lot of effort in making this video
Compatibility with artic freezer 3?
i just know that ram change to 16gb when it became pretty much mandatory was a pain in the ass
Did I just heat a British person say "zee" series board? Wash you mouth out young man! 😉 Great video by the way. Very informative.
Can I turn off RGB?
I was looking for reviews of the Terra and then looked at this review. I like criticism, especially when it is justified. But I cannot agree with this review. I bought the case anyway and put all my components in it - Gigabyte B550i Aorus Pro AX + 5800 X3d + Alpenföhn Black Ridge - RTX 3070 FE - Corsair SF750 - 3 x Noctua NF-A12x15 (120mm x 15mm) and it works well. I use the three Noctua fans as a CPU fan and two case fans. One of the case fans is mounted underneath the case. I attached the case fans with silicone anti-vibration mounts (NA-SAV4) and clamped a SIENOC 120mm fan cover between them. I also fitted the side panels with MoKo DIY dust mesh filters. These can also be removed for cleaning as they are magnetic. The airflow comes from the bottom and also over the sides into the case and then out to the top. I did not equip the top of the case with a dust mesh filter so as not to further restrict the airflow. The desired airflow works because only the top cover gets warm.

Great review! I've been looking for a HTPC/NAS/Productivity case and you did a great job showing the potential with this build. Going to order one now.
custom loop on a 6700k, can we say overkill lol
Woaw your testing about fan speed and pump make me understanding about how to cooling cpu
Dude, amazing rev.
Hi AV techy!! great video! I have almost the same build, but I have rom for one more fan in the top front. I am unsure if this one should be exhaust or intake... You say in this video that it should definitely be intake. but other sites I see it recommended to have both top fans as exhaust..This with arguments of simple, one-way airflow, and that heat goes up. I think intake would be better, for more air to go through the CPU heatsink, but could you please elaborate on your reasoning for this choice?
I dont mess with pcs as often as u but I think I'm going to take and benefit from your new found rule, sitting on a cooler would be devastating to me.
The case is crap. Worth about $30. They lie about the 3x HDD space too.
I have the basic version of the freezer 34, that comes with a single basic P12 fan (not bionix) and it keeps delided 4790K under 50 degrees with a VEGA56 in the PC. What I don't understand is why the basic cooler is rated 150W TDP and the eSPORTS Duo, that is essentialy the same cooler but with an extra fan, is rated 210W TDP. It doesn't seam realistic- you add a second fan but the CFM is the same and even with two fans wrking at max they won't push more air than that CFM rating through the heatsink + the heatsink remains the same... where are these extra 60W cooling cap coming from?
4:05 You need to state percentage differences based on absolute values, e.g. Kelvin, and not Celsius. It would actually help your point, too, as it would show that the 1 degree kelvin differential is actually about a 0.3% difference, even less than 2% (so running the pump at 100% all the time is an even bigger waste).
I drilled the holes bigger where i put the extra fans in mine 2 on the front and 1 on the top rear. And have had no issues. Wouldn't necessarily recommend because it is a lot of work and there are other options with better airflow but I think it turned out well and for the price you can't beat this case. The plastic window does scuff easily so just be careful with that. And on b550 motherboards you do have to move the top rear fan one hole forwards from the default position to clear the cpu plug. But for $40 this is a nice case for any budget build.
I just hope you are okay.
You can install 2x120mm fans at the bottom where you said the holes are useless.. they sit in between the case legs and can install with fan grills. They'll be out of sight and perfectly capable of exhausting hot air and pushing in cool/room temperature air... It works like a charm
Got this case brand new for $20. Did I get a good deal?
@AVTechy is it possible to install a 240mm or a 360mm radiator on the top?
0:13 "you deserve be-e?" whats "be-e"?
why is this video so quiet wtf
I was wondering if I can put it horizontally make it a monitor riser, save some tabletop space for me
Can i know thr flow rate,
oh my god i was up at 11:30 trying to figure out how to install the psu this saved me from pulling an all nighter THANK YOU
I bought the same 215 cabinet in black, could I put a 360 liquid on top?
great case ;D i have the same maximum fully packed with an asrock x299itx/ax with a delidded i9 7900x with allcore OC 4,5 GHz modified Corsair Watercooling, 32GB Quad Channel RAM, 1080TI Asus ROG Strix. good for "To Go" and great for 1080p gaming.
Will rx6800 fit?😅
antec has fallen so far from what they used to be long ago. sad to see. im assuming they were bought out by some cheap corner cutting chinese company.
Damn. I just watched half an hour before realising this was the COMPACT case. My bad. I'm after the full-sized one.
Can I use plastic, nylon or metal washers for the fans instead of rubber ones?
My fans are not spinning...I connect 3pin connector with the sata port connection to the motherboard...lights are working but fans not spinning...what to do
Ive got H510, moved included 2 case fans to intake (from rear exhaust) and added two new exhaust fans.... Maybe i shouldn't have touched from factory***
Great review very helpful
Great video man, subscribed!!
