One of the nice things about watching LTT over the years has been seeing new people arrive, start out as nervous assistants to Linus in his videos and then steadily develop into relaxed, entertaining presenters and likeable characters who have their own recognisable style and interests and can carry a video on their own. Anthony and Alex are two obvious examples - just really fun to watch both of them do their stuff these days - but Adam's been improving in leaps and bounds lately, and I think this is the best work I've seen him do.

@iheartninja Год назад

I helped my friend upgrade his 3070 to a 4090 last weekend. Unfortunately we had to replace his great old Antec case because the riveted-in front HDD cage didn't have clearance for the GPU. We ran down to Microcenter and he decided on a Fractal Torrent. After building in that thing, I'm upgrading my case to a Fractal ASAP. The care and thought that goes into the design and build of their cases is outstanding and worth every penny. I remember seeing all the fans and telling my friend he might need a fan controller because of limited connectors, only to discover an included fan hub. Same with RGB only to discover they were daisy-chainable.

@FomeDH Год назад

I’ve got an cooler master nr200p as my sff build for college dorm life. Seeing this chassis from fractal has be seriously considering tearing it apart and rebuilding by B550 5800x & 3070 system inside of this new case. Been wanting to try out water cooling anyway so might be perfect for my use:

@RandarTheBarbarian Год назад

my last SFF was in a Fractal Node 202, which is a pretty similar design but a bit smaller, worked really well with a Scythe Big Shuriken 3 cooler if this case is taller inside you might even be able to get a full thickness fan on it. I found the Big Shuriken to be quite good and surprisingly quiet, but it was only a quad core that I did a de-lid on so newer chips may vary.

PIO makes so much sense, wish they would release an adapter plate to fit any case with an open expansion slot area, then the GPU backplate would be in the old motherboard IO area. Makes way more sense and saves so much more room than "connectors in the back". Also you could use a PIO motherboard with 2-4 slots in the usual area and they would be completely out of the way of the graphics card.
