So what do you get when you buy a case that is only
$13 plus a few bucks for shipping? Well if I'm being honest
Not enough for us. But here at LTT, we are all about
Cramming as much power as possible
Into anything that comes through the door! So of course, this baby needed some major modifications
[Intro music: Laszlo Supernova]
The Corsair One features a compact form factor that is fast, quiet
and you guessed it, compact. Check it out through Amazon or Newegg at the links below.
So the experience of buying this case then, you really do get what you pay for sometimes. When it arrived
I told Alex gee man, I really wish we'd ordered the black version and he responds
Well, you actually don't get to pick a color. It's just luck of the draw
Brilliant
first impressions though it's
Considerably smaller than we thought. In the description
It does say mini itx case, and it does say POS
But it doesn't say anything about being so small that it doesn't even have a mount for a power supply
To its credit the
Does this think even have a model number?
No
All right then
Then the construction of the small exclusive custom is pretty solid compared to some of the other cheap cases that we've had around here
So the first aid kit stayed where it belongs above the fridge
Missing screws and lack of instructions aside
For $13.50 it's hard to complain about much besides the size
We went about seeing then what all we could fit in this thing
Fortunately we had a pico power supply on hand so we built a system in it with that
But frankly
It kind of sucked at only about 60 watts and with a four pin connector that we janked together
There was just no way that this thing was going to end up Linus Tech Tips grade
Which isn't to say that we didn't try but our core i7
7700 K had to be under clocked to three gigahertz from
4.5 and have half of its cores disabled and even then it was so
questionably stable that it didn't even post
downstairs where the lighting and construction going on right now mean that the wall power isn't as clean no if
We're going to build a worthy system in here
We're going to need a little bit of inspiration
From Roadkill plus the Angle Grinder man is knocking at the door and it seems rude not to let him in
So we went down to the workshop and planned
out where the cuts need to be in the top of the case, using calipers and
rulers to aid our measurements. Given we only have one of these cases
it wasn't they measure once cut for rice kind of situation after marking out the cuts,
we got out the aluminum cutting disk and went to work
And Wow! It seems to fit!
So we actually wanted to reuse the drive mounting that came with the case
But inverted so that we could use it to hold our HD flex 300 watt DC to DC
Power supply that we stole from the s4 mini, so we wanted that underneath the case
So we got out the center punch and slammed out the rivets with only a little bit of massaging needed afterwards to get it perfect
Then the standoffs were screwed back on the bottom making a nice little compartment. The chop-chopping wasn't over yet
though we needed to make space for the power supply cables to enter the case, and for the PCI Express extender to leave.
So we marked the cuts out and got the grinder going once again. Now
we just needed some mounting for the GPU, a GTX 1080 of course. We decided the easiest
way to mount it was using this adapter stolen from the compact Sli Rig project (Otherous???) which conveniently
bolted right onto the existing cuts in the case,
so no other modifications had to be made. Reassembly could have been easier
Everything had to go back in exactly the right order or we'd have to perform the disassembly of shame.
First we attached our little power supply to the underside of the case using our preferred Mounting method
Double-sided tape the 24 pin connector on it was particularly ugly
So we covered that up using cable mod a io sleeving not a perfect solution
But it does look a lot better next we attached the ssd to the mount on the bottom the drive mounting that came with this
Case is actually pretty bad and doesn't allow for right Angle Sata Connectors
but we were able to make it work even if we could only put in two screws because it had to sit kind of a
Angle
The gPU got slotted in and we were ready to put the top on
So with the cPU fan getting plugged in first and then screwing down the cooler
We just needed to add some finishing touches and a lazy cable management job and she was finally ready for action
overall we're actually
Pretty pleased with the cheapest case on the market. I mean it would obviously be misleading to call our end result here
Representative of its $13 price tag because by the time we had actually built our system
We had used an expensive Ac to DC wall adapter and expensive 300 watt DC to DC. Power supply an
expensive Shielded PCI Express extension
Expensive modding tools and a custom bracket that we didn't fabricate
But cooling performance is obviously great since it's pretty much all open air, and we think it looks flippin awesome
