in a world of plain black boxes with no RGB one man risks it all to show five of the most insane cases that money can buy and it's brought to you by I fix it I fix its protec toolkit gives you the tools you need to tackle any electronics repair challenge visit ifixit.com forward slash linus at the link below to get yours today okay don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of the understated monochrome aesthetic with maybe a sprinkle of color here or there but today today is about the outliers the biggest the boldest and arguably subjectively the beautifulest monstrosities that you can actually buy for your next PC build so no one offs let's kick things off with the deep cool Oh try stellar to make something truly unique you basically need to step out of the standard form factor I mean all boxes look somewhat alike do they not so deep cool amongst others here today took that challenge very seriously as the name implies the Tri stellar has three isolated chambers arranged in sort of an arrowhead style with a metal hub in the middle that serves to route cables between the compartments the exterior panels have a rough kind of like gunmetal finish that gives them a very industrial look and feel and they just slide off whenever you need to perform maintenance so each chamber holds something different so starting at the top you've got mounting for your GPU via a PCI Express extension and up to three SSDs with some sexy tempered glass to show them all off then the left chamber holds your power supply an optional two hard drives and a five and a quarter inch bay if you still live in 2005 finally the last compartment contains an ITX motherboard with either a low-profile CPU cooler or a single 120 millimeter liquid cooler thanks to this fan mount now each of the wings comes with a 90 millimeter fan in the front and is designed to act like a mini wind tunnel so I would probably stick with a blower style GPU cooler in this case that is if you can afford one it is 350 bucks now for our next trick the thermaltake tower 900 may actually not feature an overly unique form factor but it's still more than earns it's insane designation thanks to the sheer magnitude of both its capacity and size which are sort of the same thing this thing is so big that my wife can literally fit inside of it with the motherboard tray removed I couldn't make this stuff up anyway the white version that we have here in the office has a powder-coated steel exterior and more tempered glass then you have probably ever seen on a single case at least for now and this robust construction lends to its over 50 pound dry weight I mean you seriously need two people to move this thing around once it's full of hardware lots and lots of hardware the Tower 900 can hold 2 quad 140 millimeter extra thick radiators like what we've got here and even has adequate room for fans on both sides of it if you're a total airflow nut the motherboard tray fits up to an e ATX board and quad GPUs although that last ones not really a thing anymore at least for gamers and surprisingly the 900 actually costs barely more than it weighs at 220 dollars following in the size matters footsteps of our last case is the also by Thermaltake core p7 now in its default form here you can see it just looks like one of those fancy showcase cases that's just kind of like a slab of metal that you put a bunch of stuff on and then a tempered glass cover in front for effect but no my friends this case has much more to offer it can be upright like a test bench it can be on the wall or in its final form which we're calling panoramic mode you just install these extra included panels and the case turns into this crazy open concept set thing that you can you can choose for different angles for depending on what you like to change the look of your case and your bill I mean customization is king right the p7 also has a ton of radiator mounting let's face for three quad 120 millimeter radiators in panoramic mode here and you can even vertically mount your GPUs yes that is GPUs plural but if water cooling or our fancy GPU mounting isn't really your thing the case also has plenty to offer for normal people with space for up to eight hard drives or SSDs and of course like the tower nine hundred full e ATX board compatibility this one will cost you 300 bucks alright so you've likely seen part one of our course err slate build and don't worry we will be finishing that up soon TM but the slate fit our insanity descriptor so well that we needed to include it here and I know it's fundamentally just a big black box but what makes this case crazy is the ridiculous amount of tempered glass this glass it's gonna be huge it's curved and you won't even believe it and it's no slouch when it comes to hardware capacity either in fact it has the most capacity out of any case we've looked at so far the most you can mount eight SSDs five hard drives five graphics cards two motherboards two power supplies to quadruple 120 millimeter radiators a triple 140 millimeter radiator and 24 fans to cool it all off oh and did I mention that it has RGB front i/o because yeah it has RGB front i/o now sadly this 40 pound behemoth is not on the market yet but we are hoping to see it sometime soon and hopefully for under 500 bucks because damn it Corsair the world needs this bringing us to our final case but okay the most insane case nay the most insane thing I think I have ever seen meet the Zadok 511 Helicarrier we aren't sure how many of them exist or how many will be made but it is technically a production model and therefore qualifies for this video so all right where do we start with this thing not by opening it that's for sure so it did include toy jets you know yeah but it didn't include instructions so we're gonna have to take their word for it that it contains a 69 50 X and an asus strix GT X 1080 that actually that story doesn't really check out at all because this is an MSI motherboard and you know what whatever I'm sure if you order one you can get it with whatever you want inside let's focus on what we can see from the outside the entire case is plumbed up for the integrated liquid cooling system with coolant lines visible on the sides here and over here and it's got four single 120 millimeter radiators here here here and here the whole thing is made out of machined aluminum and plexi and weighs so much that it requires two people to move it io is fairly standard and positioned at the back but don't be fooled into thinking that you can just put it on your desk and fire it up the power cord can only be inserted into the bottom once it's mounted on the included display stand but once you get it in there you can power this thing up by sliding your finger down a capacitive strip at the front whoa is that a thing of beauty or what so it lights up these LED lights down both runways and also add some blue accent lighting to the bottom now I wouldn't blame you guys for having decided by this point in the video that you need one of these two which all I can say is frickin bad cuz unless you've got a cool $20,000 burning a hole in your
