I know this is very much a side thing for the actual video, but I would be very curious to see a deeper examination of those graphene pads your sponsor spot mentioned this episode. As someone who is generally happy to set up my computer and then just dust it out as needed for several years, a thermal transfer layer that doesn't degrade over time due to drying out is of interest to me. I'd be curious to hear some stats as to how it does compared to more traditional options, get some background as to how the graphene (notably a particularly flat molecule) fills out the gaps to fit whatever microscopic peaks and valleys are on the CPU and cooler, etc.
Like...my intuition based on what little I know of graphene (it's a nearly flat sheet of carbon laid out in a hexagonal grid, noted for its strength as carbon-carbon bonds are notoriously extremely difficult to break) is that it shouldn't work. It should be like putting an extremely thin sheet of invincible paper between them. But, uhh....I'm not a materials engineer, and I'm not the guys at Kryonaut who have probably at least consulted with one if not hired a few full time. So I assume there is some property that makes graphene a way better choice for this that I am unaware of.

Honestly the colour looks really cool, there is a lack of colour cases in the market, only seemingly black and white. Fractal did that pop case with colours which was nice to see so their logo colour being like an optional thing at the cart or its own version or maybe sell the different parts in a select amout of colours that people can buy and then mix would be great. The gimmick with the tiny tiles and how you can put them into thr case, its unexpected but welcomed as its something while not functional, gives the case more customisation and lets the user add some personality/customisation to their case is really cool to see a company do, its little but means a lot.

What I like the most about modern cases is that they are a LOT more customizable + it seems easy and you usually dont cut yourself anymore trying to install/ replace basic stuff.
Buuut I still got my 12y old whatever brand semi ugly standard big case, 3 new strong case fans inside and a big 200mm noctua inside the case door . Imo, if the airflow is good and you dont change (case-) parts as frequently+ dont care about how it looks, I dont really see a reason to buy a new case.
But seeing all the cool stuff makes me kinda look for a reason to replace my case, ngl.

I've been a loyal sub of gn for the last few years and I have huge respect for the content, so I ask yet again, where the EFF is the fan testing??? You made such a huge deal out of the giant investment you made in that crazy fan testing machine and ever since it's been absolute crickets, at least address this already, I'm so interested in this as nobody else has this capability to challenge the listed specs! I'll totally wait but just need an update already, every time I see anything from you on airflow I'm reminded of this topic...now I have to start this video over lol

I really like the teal color, but if I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't buy it. I'd probably still buy a white case. However, I really love the pegs on the top, despite them being a goofy little ideal. And if those came in teal, that would be great. Having said that, since the case is modular and comes unassembled, I could see myself buying a teal panel or two or some rails as an accent. I feel like that might also alleviate the volume production issues, since you don't need to sell and ship an entire 200+ case, you can just sell the panels by themselves.

I don't like that Deepcool-green, it's just gaudy. I still want them to bring the case to market, though, if for nothing else then because there're practically zero cases out there that aren't plain black or white. It's boring! What if one wants to build a PC with some personality to it? Well, you either have to mod it yourself or you're stuck with just using the components and LED-strips inside to do what little you can.
Me, I'd love that gorgeous champagne-coloured In Win-case if it performs well. It would look SO good next to my desk.

I wonder if the cost of supply chains and volume would make it unfeasible for Deepcool to sell essentially the barebones case with the base colour of white or black, and then kits or piecemeal components in white, black and teal to give users the choice. It's probably a bit too complex and would present just a bit too high of a barrier to easy purchase to be practical though.
I think going in on some unique branding colours like this would work well for establishing a stronger brand identity (see Noctua for reference).

I vote keep the Mint color! Also a deep red would be great, and them together would make a fantastic 'watermelon' blend!
also about time we got rid of those solid glass fronts and such... just disasters every one of them. big fans, able to run lower RPM but have enough force to push enough air is all we need, to keep noise down and proper cooling. Of course OC and extremes will go to the extremes.
I like seeing the electromagnets in the fan with the lit central hub. It's fancy and mechanical

G'day Steve,
As someone who has painted cases it would be Cool for colours like Colourway to be an option if it is a case that is great to build in & has great cooling,
Deep Cool did colours with the Macube & there have been lots of Yeah that's really cool but when it comes time to buy those who left the comment need to live up to it because if they do not sell because the colours are not popular it does end up waste plus this will show people really only want Boring Black/White Box cases.

That colorway should come to market. I think every brand with a simple color design for their logo should bring their logo colors to market. They should also look into other colors to bring to market, as a modular platform can easily allow for mixing colors, someone could eventually do something interesting with a variety of components; though this also only really works if the various parts can be bought separately or within a kit.

I like airflow but am happy with my FD R7 that house my 6 HDDs. The sound profile of the spinning rust is absorbed nicely. And although more and more users move away from even having even 1 spinning rust in their system, I continue to believe that Gamers Nexus thermal testing platform is not representative of an average build both in sound profile and maybe in thermal output, although it gets more relevant as years pass.

Shoot, when I saw that LED lit fan hub motor my eyes lit up. I'd so buy those just as aesthetic fans for visible places in my case! I really appreciate subtle lighting and stuff that draws your attention rather than just blasting RGB throughout the whole case. I do also really like the look of that towercooler, but at that price... eeehh.... Still nice to see some different looking stuff coming to market.

I love my Deepcool cases. They look nice with great paint and they're rarely sold at full MSRP unless you grab it right at launch. I got each of mine for only 70 when MSRP was far higher. It will be interesting to see how they compete as they slowly upscale their cases.
If I wasn't deep in AIO territory since I'm running Alder Lake that Assassin 4 looks like a beast.

Would love to see more modular designs. I think this is awesome. Anytime you can mix and match and create something that suits your personal tastes? Yeah that's a win. The colorways? Awesome, would be great if they could make it affordable to actually provide a variety of colors so you could mix and match, really make the case and in turn the PC your own.

Ill never really get behind colored cases because while they might look neat at first it gets old and you can't change or alter the look at whim like you can woth a neutral color case and rgb. Im alright with color accents on a mostly neutral case to liven things up but more than that turns me away. I am always a fan of modular cases though
