hey Lina do you remember fallout 76 yes I also remember a project that I started
right before then yeah well we did to build late last year in this beautiful
nuka-cola case from NZXT fallout 76 has come and gone the case are the build has
come and gone you should definitely go back and watch it I think it was good
build but we're getting to the wrap-up video now for reasons but there are a
couple things I think we we still kind of want to cover about this build so why
don't you kind of first go over what you would have done different or or some
hang-ups that you uh you came across so the reason that you're not actually
seeing this as I envisioned it which was to have RGB fans on the top RGB fans on
the front here and I think in the back as well and have them all lit in white
the reason why you're not seeing that is because somebody wasn't looking
carefully when she ordered her RTP header splitter cable and she ordered a
four pin cable and not a three pin cable which is what I needed for addressable
RGB fans that's but how much is that on you and how much is me really okay cuz I
mean it's all so confusing right I mean the thing is is that it's one of those
things that once you know the lay of the land it makes total sense it's like of
course I should have paid into that detail but it's not until you sit down
and you realize ah crap that that moment comes and that was me okay I mean so I
should sorry I should back up I think if you're a very conscientious person and
you read carefully and you study things super in-depth and you don't get
sidetracked away from your project for months at a time you'll remember things
like this and I also don't have long experience with RGB so a lot of it is
just ignorance on my part because my first RGB build was like what last year
yeah and I didn't I wasn't really looking at addressable and non
addressable parts I think I got all gone addressable so it just it just worked
right and this time addressable RGB has gotten
bigger since then a lot of the fans that I requested and you know where this you
know sent to work and this build have a fancy-dress of RGB fans sorry LEDs in
there so yeah not compatible I'm at the motherboards great we have that pretty
expensive motherboard in there so it has a headers for both three pin or
addressable so three pin and non addressable four pin in there so that
wasn't the problem it was just the cable I got so that I could split to all these
fans I had didn't work and then trying to find a controller box also kind of
difficult because RGB is not really well standardized so some of those controller
boxes are just really only for like certain ecosystems and just was a pain
it's complicated yeah and so I mean I could have ordered it but we we needed
to wrap this message at long last because there's been a very very patient
person waiting for this case you know who you are thank you so much it's just
time just I have to get this to its proper owner you can do the full peel
yeah which which we do you all it's experience that or my face every time I
do it cuz I still just don't get it cuz that's not a thing for me also we didn't
open up the bobble head the either that comes in all the way and you did too you
know kind of do it do a little bit of a wiring job to kind of try to clean it up
I try yeah yeah do you find that fun oh no no Gordon doesn't like yeah you know
I don't find it fun I actually find it very very annoying I mean for this way I
like the look of it so like that particular build when I took care with
it and I cleaned it up it was satisfying because I said oh like I've never done
this before it looks really nice I should think about doing this more often
but sometimes the cables you have and the case you have don't always like mesh
well for it like that worked out really well that build in general just worked
out really nicely for me this one was a reminder that not everything in life is
easy and everything not all the stars aligned
for you too bad it was okay but there's like there's like parts I mean the rad
that I chose like the fans come off of it and like the cable just like hanging
out from the middle here so I kind of have to pull it back this way and I'm I
don't think I'm doing this right or I just don't have an experience to know
how to route this so that it doesn't just look like it's coming back like
this I don't know there's and maybe most people would have noticed it like maybe
it's one of those things where it's because you see it constantly or - you
crazy it's your thing you want it - yeah you know for sure but just little little
details like that yeah well overall how did you feel about the case cuz I was
telling you earlier like that lately I've really been enjoying what NZXT does
in the case Department and I think my next build will probably be in the NZXT
case well what do you what do you think about building in this case in
particular the case itself is nice like in terms of layout and you know all of
that I do think that if you care about your cabling and it being super clean
then you will need to think very carefully about what fans you have and
what you know what the configuration is like and how the cables are going to
route otherwise you know it's really it's it's pretty streamlined it's really
clean I really enjoy having like channels in the back for the cables and
all of that the one thing specific to this limited
edition case that I wish was different though is that so you have a glass panel
on this side so you can see the you know inside and all of your parts and their
glory but then the art like you can't see right now the new vac old girl is on
this side so when are you gonna get to see her I would much you have to pick
which side you kind of want exactly which it's just kind of strange to me
that you'd have to choose a side I I would actually have preferred having a
nuka-cola girl in the front because then that way you can get to see her and your
parts at the same time I don't feel like this side panel is really gonna display
as well yeah unless that's more for other people right so maybe you put on a
side where when someone walks into the room they see the nuka-cola girl while
you get see this and just the new Cola logo well
it's kind of my case at home my desk my pcs on the top of my desk and it sits
off to this side in the corner so even if I had a glass side like it would be
lost but yeah usually there's not a ton on the other side so it's like I don't
want to spin my PC around because I have the cables coming out this way but also
the layout of my desk just because I'm in the corner is easier to have the PC
on this side and I can't really put it underneath for you know especially it's
gonna be a little strange because you said that you really like this case and
you're thinking of building something like this yeah yeah well I probably
wouldn't get a tempered glass side you know like it just would be all right
maybe I would I mean obviously maybe I'll change my configuration of my desk
or something at some point so maybe it is good to get it but yeah it's it's
it's been a thing I've been thinking about for sure but all in all I mean
yeah like I said NZXT I really like these cases I mean is the it was more of
a builder error that kind of ground everything to a halt in terms of
actually finishing the vision I had for it but in terms of the parts like the
hardware and the case itself I have no complaints I mean we've got some really
impressive hardware the hardware is great yeah 900 K in there yeah we
actually used this K we use this build for the the metro Exodus stream that we
did so that we can show the the r-tx features and Amanda it ran great yeah so
yeah you know we built this last year I we haven't really done a build since
then so yeah we kind of need to get back up on that I know so yeah it's just it
was so it got so so oh the other thing I learned other thing I learned never
again scheduled build for yourself when you also have to cover Black Friday
right after it if you hope to finish the build than any well you've done that two
years in a row now cuz he had the Xbox one x1 I had to finish that one because
the embargo date lifted on the seventh so I was like they're all or nothing
Elena get your benchmarks done or is this project
for sure but yeah hard deadlines that yeah well if you have ideas for a bill
to put them in the comments below we definitely want to get back on that
slide I think it's fun especially to to build with everyone in NC gordon
half-drunk and order pizza putting these beer cans on plate in places and on top
of parts that no one would ever normally do no of course not
anyway thanks for for finally wrapping this up and we will get this case out to
the to the lucky winner and see hopefully maybe if with their permission
they'll uh they'll send us a picture of the bill that they do in it may actually
finish it and do a way better that job than I did please we'll see we'll see
so anyway thanks Elena we will see you later
