Entire Case Company Built on Literal Theft 

To see the debut of our new case testing methodology, check out the Fractal North XL review! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aQHKCjuYTVQ.html We previously reviewed & benchmarked the Hyte Y60 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QNfsG-Ai2PA.html -- comparatively, it seems as if the Hype is a step beyond a Hyte clone.

Man, really expected more from a brand who's been making cases for 10, 15, 10, 15, 10, 10 years now

They’re 100% banking on people mistaking this one for the original, thank you for getting the word out.

I've been following you for 15 years and this video is probably one of the funniest I've seen in the entire 10 years I've been watching you.

"Includes....buttons ... Cool!" I was rolling 🤣

Not gonna lie, naming something "Diamond COC" is an absolute power move

"Be ready, be gammer" This is gonna be good.

"It's not the case we needed, but the case we deserve. Be ready, be gammer." - Stevve Burrke, Gammer's Nexxus

One of the most entertaining, yet also informative, videos I have watched recently. Thanks for the review!

“Created for those for dare to win” sounds less like a slogan and more like a passive aggressive threat.

I legit just purchased a Hyte Y70, and my heart was in my throat when I saw the thumbnail. Luckily, I'm not a gammer, and I got the right case.

That's wild. I never expected to see full-on fakes after how much backlash Thermaltake (aka Thermaltake your design) got when they made all those ripoff designs years ago. The only counterfeit cases I had ever heard of previously was the ooooold lian li knockoff.

I just have to say whatever shutter speed you're using to video those fans on the Arctic cooler especially and even the other fans during the video is basically perfecto. It makes those fans look incredibly smooth and for some reason at least to me really really relaxing I could just literally sit and watch those fans spin it looks so nice and so smooth great choice could just be happenstance but seriously it it looks amazing they look so nice when they spin

nothing goes harder then the Diamond COC

They somehow made a COC as hard as diamond. That’s impressive.

Oh I love my Diamond Cooling and OverClocking Kase. It came in black and it's HUGE. Lots of room for extra components and cooling.

I'm sorry but I cannot unsee those cases looking like fish tanks. XD

"Gamemax. Why does that name sound familiar?" *Glances nervously at the power supply my roommate gave me which is currently running* OOOOHHH NOOOOO...

But, did they say that it’s patented by themselves?

So pleased to see case reviews starting again it's been far too long! Thanks for this

Really appreciate this case review it helped in many ways thanks

“It features buttons.” -zooms in-- “COOL” 😂😂😂😂

2:36 "They say it's patented". It *is* a patented design... it's just that the patent isn't held by GameMAX! 🤣

I snatched a gamdias aura gc2 elite case for 37 euros. The case is perfectly designed for airflow, and the only thing to note is that the fans are rubbish. But that is easily fixable, since the arctic P12 5x pack is around 32 euros. For the price of 69 euros I got myself a damn nice case with best quality fans on the market. That is a killer combo, a copy done right imo.

I almost bought that case. Thank you guys for the info. I'm subscribing right now.

Here in Portugal we have a distributor that buys crap from gamemax in bulk and resells it to all major retailers. We've seen their stuff under other names also. It's impressive because I've had the massive pleasure to build computers with their cases and coolers. Yes: They all suck, but people buy whatever is cheap and flashy nowadays. It's the distributors fault to invest a single dollar on these chinesium companies and spread their crap around the world. Even worse is that we are forced to assemble prebuilt machines with these cases because there are contracts with the distributors... Please go after these and other guys that do this shady job. You have good journalism skills, you can easily expose these companies.

This should be a series

I've had a Y60 for a good 6 months now and was scared for a minute when I saw the thumbnail. Glad to know I have the correct one.

I love how you guys protect consumers thank you

Hey man you gotta pair the balls of steel with the Diamond COC. Gotta give it to ‘em. It’s as gammer as it gets. Also fun fact, they also sell a “Turbo COC.”

Too bad Thermaltake wasn't the sponsor. That would have been the icing on the cake.

Reminds me of the episode of Reno 911, when the author of a novel is pleading with the Fire and Sheriff's dept. to save his in-progress work that was clearly plagiarized and they wouldn't do it. In fact, after the Sheriffs asked him to give them a quick synopsis of the story and had concluded that it was too similar to the film, "Frequency," the Fire dept. shows up and he turns to them, pleading. The Sheriffs interject and says, "...just listen his plot," to which the Fire dept. Concludes, "Oh, it's like the film, Frequency!" And ultimately also decide against rescuing his work lol.

Steve's bluntness is one of many reason why I love this channel. Thanks, Steve.

"it frequently fails to respond to the remote for... mysterious reasons. the reasons are: it sucks." I laughed at this for a solid minute , thank you for all you do

Everytime I see charts like this I smile. Building in the fractal torrent was the most fun I ever had building a PC. Maybe I will get one for myself aswell. One day.

I've been seeing their cases and power supplies on PCPP for ages and never once clicked on one, glad I got a Xigmatek Scorpio when I needed a cheal case.

HYPE lmao, at least they aren't trying to hide it

I do with you would review more DIYPC cases. I highly suggest the DIYPC Q3 ARGB. It's extremely cheap and isn't just an O11 Dynamic ripoff. It is mATX (so much smaller), comes with 3 RGB fans, still supports ATX PSUs in the rear, comes with genuine tempered glass, and all of that for $50. It even comes in some fun colors like pink and teal (which I also absolutely adore).

So the one thing I could say for the removeable base is could you use that for running cables or tubes(for water cooling not sure i would want to though in that case), though the danger of breaking/cutting a cooling line could be an issue the water/cooling would leak into the false bottom area compared to the interior case area. Like I could see even having a false top that you could run cables thru an drop down to where they need to be. This could help to keep the case interior less cluttered an help airflow maybe keeping the cabling/tubing to a minimum in the visible interior. Not saying the case is good, but looking at it maybe there is some useful ideas even if accidental in there that could be used.

Diamond hands are obsolete, embrace the DIAMOND COC

"COC" stands for "Case Obviously Copied"!

It's originally intended to be standing (or laying rather) with the glass panels facing up. However it's up to the user to figure out the correct vent pattern. Also this case perfectly fits into the "air conditioner window socket" of the older american houses.

holy cow, I usually use prebuilds at the moment, never knew cases got that big.

As somone from a (China adjacent) country, I'll throw my two cents into the mix for some consideration. Proper channel imports aren't really a thing here. Sure you'll find a limited selection of hardware funneled through legit "big" name brands that operate locally, but the selection is quite meek to say the least. Stuff like Hyte, Fractal, etc. isn't something you'll find all to easily down here..and though a lot of stuff does end up on the shelves via questionable import practices, non-mainstream items don't make the cut cus the buyers would be few and far in-between. This is where these cases come into play. A larger chunk of potential buyers are actually just looking for the that-trendy-aesthetic they see making the rounds on tech channels, and that alone is often, surprisingly good enough. Needless to say, being China-adjascent means that items from there are presumably subject to more favorable import regulations, not to mention the shipping costs are drastically lesser than the haul to markets elsewhere. Just like that these items land down here, subsidized to an extent..with favorable odds of being sold once you combine it with the dearth of other more viable purchase options for the avg buyer. Yes i know this is a wall of text, I'm sorry. I'll leave you with an example as the outro; The world : has that Jonsbo lcd screen mAtx. We : have the spitting image copycat alternative that goes by the name BOOST T-REX.

A Chinese company NOT respecting copyrights...Color me Shocked! Shocked I tell you!

I don't know if you already have one, but would be really nice if you could do a big list of top cases, budget, airflow, for expansions etc.

If they had taken that case form factor, and rather offered mounting for multiple uATX, they could have achieved "an original" _use_ (if not look).EG I have a standard 5700G CPU cooler on a B550M (iths low profile for a desktop), and a Corsair 750W PSU with 4x 4pin mother board connectors (along with 7 SATA power connectors) that would allow me to plug in 2 other RPi CM4 motherboards in the same physical space - note that I did figure out how to mount and power those 2 CM4 uATX m/b is a single SFF INNO case (one is mounted upside down on the _airflow holes_ side / top cover).

When I saw the bit about the extra-cost vertical GPU mounts NOT ACTUALLY BEING COMPATIBLE, I wanted to clap my hands politely. Their commitment to.. "lackadaisaudacity" (I just made up that word - someone stop me if I try doing that again) was truly, truly, impressive.

Thermaltake: "We are the kings of stealing other companies case designs." GameMAX: "Hold my beer."

I'd be curious to see you review Gamdias products. I have a Mars M2 which I really like, despite shortcomings. It was one of the few cases with both a front-panel USB-C and a top-mounted power switch at the time, and after rebate it came out to about $50 Canadian. After a couple of years it finally has some additional competition (The ASUS Prime-AP201 would have been a much better choice for me had it been available at the time), but it was a decent little performer that I wish they iterated upon with a ventilated front panel, rather than the wierd redesign they did with the E3.

I actually have a typhoon gamemax case.... It's not bad. They definitely cheap out with the 3.5 HD bay using one where the 2 HD bay I have is literally a single bay while the second HD sits on the top of the bay while the screws hold the drive by screwing through the bay into the holes on the bottom of the 3.5 HD. I can't comment on their other cases, but it's pretty nice. The one time breakaway PCIe stuff is annoying as I broke away one that I wasn't supposed to, but I just bought some extra PCIe mesh covers to cover the hole I had. Another gripe is the LCD strip on the front has a built in controller and has no way to plug into an ARGB plug to be controlled by the motherboard, but it is what it is. The fans included are also 3 pin fans so they're not great, but they work. I do think the COC motherboard fan is a bit of a gimmick, but I don't overclock so I can't really say for sure. Again it's not in any way the best case, but it works pretty well for a budget case that I got for like 50$-60$ Edit: I'm curious if the one I have is a ripoff of another well known case... I'm not really familiar with cases. If it's not I'd be interested in seeing what y'all thought about it. Again I wouldn't call it a first choice case, but I think for a budget case it's good enough and actually has functioned pretty well for me. I'll also add one other gripe I have is a lack of mesh screens on the front, which I bought some magnetic fan covers that fit over it well enough, but it would've been much nicer if it actually came with a proper filter cover to prevent dust from getting in easily as the holes in the front are definitely big enough for dust to get through. Edit 2: One other thing to add... The audio ports on the front are definitely low quality... I noticed crackling noises when I used them initially so I just use the one in the back for the most part.

I was expecting the cut to Patrick to him saying 'It sucks. Back to you, Steve'.

Another great video of Gammer Nexus!

I've only ever used one Gamemax case, but I actually had pretty high praise for it, especially at its price point. Their Gamemax M60 case was pretty decent, easy to work in, pretty small, and it has perforated side panels which helps with ventilation since it only has one rear and two top fans. Honestly it was a decent and pretty minimalist case for around 40 USD.

@gamersnexus Hi, I wonder if you could review Armaggeddon Tessaraxx Corevision MATX PC case. This has an 8 inch screen that can mount on the front panel or the side panel. Anyway, great to see you review PC case again. Hope to hear more reviews on not just standard case, but quirky or bizarre case as well, like the mini PC case with front panel shape like a cat's face. I wonder if it is still around.

It's still impressive how close they copied it while somehow making the case bad.

Halfway through this video. You convinced me to return an 850w "80+ Gold" power supply from Game Max. It's in it's packaging (never used) and ready to be sent back.

ROFL your faced @7:56-57, priceless! Snip that for insert, maybe with a drip sound, lol!

I have this case... It is marketed as "Dragos North" in Turkey. I got it for 100$ and it came with a single exhaust fan. After adding 5 arttic p12s and one id cooling fan it ended up costing around 140$. I must say for that price I ended up with a case that looks very good and is quiet too. With that many fans I don't need to run them at high rpms and my pc never even gets close to thermal throttling, stress testing included. Granted I am not running the most power hungry components but with a 6800xt and an overclocked 5700x it's not a low end pc by no means. Full size pci-e slots are actually very good because I can mount the gpu horizontally and feed it fresh air with 3 bottom intake fans. Now, I am not very experienced with this stuff so I might be missing something but, I don't at all understand why you were so negative about the ventilation of this case. What's wrong with magnetically attached mesh dust filters? I thought they were just the ideal type and, the one that is "impossible to fit properly" fits just fine if you move it a bit. Ventilation on the side panel also seems very good, just a no nonsense single layer of metal mesh. Everything else you complained about the case also seems just fine to me. It has captive screws where it needs them the most, has a lot of room to stuff the cables in where they are not visible therefore it is much easier to build in compare to all the other cases I've worked with, the standoffs for the glass panels are not the most elegant but they, again, are just fine. The front io isn't the best but one less usb port has never killed anyone in the last 100 years. The warp in the top cover is dissappointing but unnoticable when installed. The gap between glass panels could easily be smaller but still looks intentional the way it is and doesn't look bad. The same goes for the "misaligned metal". In fact, where even are they? Yes the top and bottom covers are smaller than the footprint of the case but it looks almost entirely intentional and is done in a uniform way. Can you really call that misaligned or is it just a design element that you chose to dislike? I think you ended up feeling very negatively about the case because of the high price and shady marketing. In the end I don't at all agree that this would be a bad case for 80$-100$. Add 35 dollars to that price for a 5 set of arttic p12 fans and you got yourself a very uniquely beautiful looking case for way under the price of hyte y60, all the while performing well enough for most people. Isn't that what you have praised about hyte y60? I just don't understand how this case can be so bad for 80-100 dollars while y60 is the best case of the year for 200$. Again, my case+fans cost me 140 dollars and it probably performs better than most aircooled y60 setups while having an extremely similar look. A saving of 60 dollars is very significant. In fact, 70 dollars was the price difference between a 5600 and 5700x when I got my cpu.

I never fully realized just how important crisp and sharp sheet metal bends were to making a case look premium, but wow GameMAX really shows how important they are. The Hype looks a little... swollen? Just a little "squishy" compared to the Hyte.

OMG Vitalii has a voice? What is this sorcery?!?! I thought Jay was the only person with a vocal camera dude? Mind Blown.

I almost spit my coffee. What a showcase!

Oh man! Thats my case! Just arrived and I havent installed yet. The temp problem is because of the stock fans or the case itself?

Glad to see gamers nexus on the.....case

Forgot to change the chart titles from the Fracal North XL but I can't really blame you guys for not putting much effort into this.

I got one of their mice ages ago as a cheap "until pay day" replacement. It's shaped just like the ancient Microsoft Habu(which I actually loved. It was like Microsoft Inteli point had a dirty weekend with a Razor) and less than £10 off amazon. It weighs a ton, left and right click are squishy as all hell and somehow in completely different ways, only one of the side buttons worked out the box and the "turbo" button jams...and I didn't even get to the sensor and why it weighs so much and that's not down to decent plastics being used to make it 😂 On a positive side it did hold out until payday and sits in a cupboard as an emergency backup so I don't waste another tenner next time 🤦

wow. when i saw the thumbnail i genuinely thought this video was going to be about the real hyte case, which scared me because ive been planning a whole PC build around that case. them copying even the name is insane 😭

Thank you, Gammer Nexus, for the solid review!

If you dont have a COC case are you really a Gammer?

There's this one PC case I always thought I'd find you reviewing it - ENDORFY Arx 700 Air

Gamemax Aero Mini Black. I bought 2 of these for my kids builds. Been working really well for the price lol.

These are everywhere in Brazil. They sell everything from peripherals to PSUs - which I wouldn't trust to power a lamp.

Between Jayz's Overcock, and Steve's Diamond Coc, Tech is going into a direction I did not foresee.

Man i know this off-topic but darn it im so happy with every cent that i spent on my Fractal Torrent. This case is a beast.

The jump cuts due to a laughing break makes this review just golden

As usual, this channel is making justice for the consumers. thank you.

ah yes, thanks GN for the long awaited Shyte Y69 review

mimicry is the highest compliment thanks Steve

I picked up a fractal design focus for like 35 bucks recently, and it's not my favorite case to build in but for 35 bucks it gets the job done.

Well this explains my GAMEMAX Master M905. Newegg listing was false. 1: claimed glass side panel, I got plastic 2: misaligned holes for my 280mm radiator. Had to drill my own 3: LED fans that wouldn’t light up Among other quality/newegg listing issues that I currently don’t recall or can’t verify. Such as my extreme doubt for 360mm radiator support, which the Newegg listing claimed.

The world wasn't ready for the Diamond COC

i got one of their rgb psu's a year ago. they are really good. 850 watts 80+ gold rated (if that matters). and it only cost me 50 quid i may have missed part of the video that says what i have but i think the reason they do this is to try and profit off of people who cannot afford the on brand equipment but still want it. when i was hunting for a case i was going to go for the gamemax vista before the nzxt h6 flow went on sale. their cases (well at least the hype) dont seem to be of the highest quality but i can attest to their psus being amazing. i bought the rgb 850 for 40 quid and only had 2 problems that were entirely my fault (exploded twice. static does indeed exist, dont build computers on your beds please) where i live the hyte y70 is MUCH more expensive and the hype is much less expensive so my view onm this case is slightly warped

@4:40 "front IO features.... Buttons.... COOL!" I laughed way harder than I should have at that

'Be Ready' Ya be ready for a lawsuit. Lawyer: So how is it different? Game Max: We changed a letter and made it worse.

I got the gamdias NESO P1 because it was the only one that could house a RTX 3090Ti on my budget and you can open the front of the case with a button. 😅

I listened to an interesting podcast about these factories that specialises in counterfitting and fast fashion. The main company mentioned was shein. With their algorithms and trend analysis they can in an extremely short space of time mobilise factories to produce fakes or close to original products at scale. It is insane. So the effort put into more complex products is no surprise, as long as the baseline amount of people buy them. Unfortunately I can't remember if it was freakonomics or some other investigative podcast like like that.......

Not gonna lie this exact case showed up on my radar a couple months back and for the briefest moment I was tempted. Then rational thought took over and I thought to myself it's only cheaper than Hyte because a) they stole the design and b) they've probably cut some corners and compromised the design. Glad to see I called it right.

I can't remember ever seeing you have SO much fun in a product "review." I love your presentation. I'm only 10 minutes into the video at this point, and I sure am hoping that there will be a side or front impact test coming. This product may have been released as a form of corporate self immolation. GREAT REVIEW.

The Diamond COC: for only the hardest gamers. Provide stiff competition in your gaming sessions. Rigid steel construction for a no-sag experience. Fight gravity itself. Ok im done lol.

I have never found the need to enable subtitles on RU-vid videos but the day has finally come.

I wish someone would make exact replicas of the gaming cases from the early 2000s! Antec Super LAN Boy, Chieftec Dragon, Apevia X-Dreamer, and other similar cases. I really miss the aesthetic of older cases!

"This whole thing is just going to be an extended piss take" I'm so here for this, not that I don't also enjoy the usual informative content

"... be gammer." Are they wishing me to become radioactive?

It’s just like purchasing a knockoff purse. Quality is not to par but from a distance it looks legit. People will continue to buy knockoffs if it’s a lot cheaper. Knockoff cases may sound louder or perform worse, but an average pc user probably wouldn’t notice. They don’t usually have another pc to compare noise level or performance.

I've actually contemplated getting that Hyte Y60 for some time now. Problem is my old Lian-Li PC 6b Plus II is still in perfect condition.

I love the cut away starting @7:44 when you said "And I don't know what that means... BUT If that's supposed to be math" 🤣👍🔥

The hype is real.

I saw this on April 1st. Good one!

Think I saw a ad scroling on Instagran from Hype...was thinking it looked similar to Hyte. In no way Im in the world of pc building or knowledgeable about pcs in general, but I thought something was off about it. One day I do want a Hyte case they look so cool, but for now trying to make me a budget build with a Pink case instead!

Thank you for this sneak preview of the Disappointment Build’s case!
