Older PC cases were odd things but how good are they for today’s components? We’re about to find out with an computer case we bought that was originally released in 2011. In some ways it is horribly outdated but there’s also some features we WISH would make a comeback in newer designs.

” more case handle has to have a hancanboth” -Dimitri 2018
wow i had this one.who else had this case?
“disgusting gloss”… disgusting dust! clean that sh!t
Yes sidepanel fans is something i kind of miss on my old case.
Had 2x white 120mm fans on a case ages ago with white cold cathode lighting up the inside of the case, looked great in the night honestly.
I had this in 2013.. 😀
This thing is better than A LOT of sub-$100 cases from 2017 and 2018. PARTICULARLY the CoolerMaster cases.
CABLE GROMMETS, removable drive cage, multi-colored interior, rear ssd bracket, giant motherboard cut out, etc!
I wish you compared an antec p180 instead.
Back when water cooling support was just two holes in the back. lol
cases today are all boring , neverly every one is following the same internal design , with no outward flare either.
why this person look like that person in infinity war that in love with thanos daughter’s ?
2011 = blast from the past? If you’re 15, yeah, ok.
Weren’t a lot of early pump/reservoirs made to take like 3 of the top HDD spots for the flip open panels that most of those cases featured?
Is it only me that couldn’t give a damn less how my case looks? I really only care how it performs. Honestly, I cringe when they say ‘cable management’, as if ‘good’ cable management, which only serves in an aesthetic capacity over ‘decent’ cable management, is paramount.
My rig sits under my desk where it can’t really be seen, and performs quite well. If good cable management gets you off, more power to you, but I couldn’t care less.
This is lightyears more advanced than the stuff I have.
To be fair, it looks sexy AF
So much potential!
the most impressive thing about the case to me personally is that it actually had usb 3.0 ports. I didn’t knew 3.0 was popular enough back then or even knew it existed when I was that young I guess.
Lucky you. The only case on Ebay at the moment costs 108 Euros
2011? I had a 2006 Alienware Area 51 that was an absolute U N I T
cases in 2011 are for 11 year olds and cases in 2018 are for 18 year olds.
I still would use 4 drive bays, AND the sata port in the front. I have 3 Bluray drives and a storage drawer for thumb drives, and some headphone cables in it. I rip my movies, and I buy A LOT of movies, for my NAS so I need to have multiple drives. Have you ripped a bluray? it takes 20-30 minutes per movie, and if I get a series, I want to rip them at the same time. 3 X 30 minutes is a long time to wait, or I can do three at a time you know?
For some reason i get you mixed up with Chris Prat
Aw, but I WANT optical drives. Blue ray burning/dvd burning. I also use those sockets for card readers and stuff.
the funniest thing now is that most of the cases of today…..look all the same even tho they try to look different, like they don’t thing to make the case physicly different like shorter in depth as you don’t need those dvd readers anymore and also the general look,
i like minimalist but this ist just boring
2:27 Bro….. Clean your Computer. OMG
I like the jet engine things on the bottom…
soon enough people will be saying that about your case lmao
I still use my Cooler Master HAF 932.
Priorities… 😀 😀 😀
“Meshify C have disgusting gloss on the interior panel”
Whole front covered in dust and the gloss is your main problem?! 😛
I like gloss better than matte.
i wanna see you reviewm first case th original cm cosmos
i chose that case for my first proper pc
my case have 4 150 mm 1500 rpm fans but my motherboard can’t run anyone of them xD (only 2 pins that was needed for dual-fan spartan) When you have atx but feels like micro atx xD
why are u talking about 2011 like it was in the 80’s xD 2011 is not that far from present :d
Really wish this video started like the one from seven years ago
your meshify c is disgusting.
