This case is TOO EXTRA for a basic build. Don't make the mistake I did! NEW Lian Li O11D EVO

so I take a look at a lot of your guys' PCS right almost on a weekly basis and I would say about three out of five of those PCS are using none other than the lean lee011 Dynamic which is a very popular case for a number of reasons it has terrific air flow great thermal performance it's super flexible there's a lot you can do with it it's high quality well thought out easy to build in and there's a bunch of other things that I could rattle off the point is the o1d is widely regarded as one of the greatest PC cases to ever hit the market and today that case just got better here she is the lean Lee 01d Evo Evolution continues here we go it looks it looks pretty similar it looks pretty similar from the box I can already tell you right now that this is not the same case it is in a lot of ways but there is so much more that you can do with this chassis compared to the original o1d for example the manual for the original o1d is 8 pages long the manual for the Evo is 31 pages long if that's any indication of just how much is going on here but for the record I'll be up front right out of the gate uh even though there's a lot you can do a ton that you can do with this case right out of the box if you really want to take advantage of its full potential and all the features there are a number of accessories that you have to purchase separately in order to leverage them here's a quick glance at him Le and Lee just sent this all over with the case as well and we'll take a closer look at all that stuff later on but for now let's get this thing out of the [Music] box [Music] all

video and making you tolerable now back to our regular content all right so let's take a look at the outside of the case first and we'll work our way in so here's the front it looks pretty much the same as the original 0d uh in fact the entire case does from the outside uh it sort of looks similar from the inside as well but there's a few differences we'll get into that later you got a tempered glass panel at the front here which uh I guess this brings up our very first add-on accessory that's sold separately you can actually Swap this out for a mesh panel right here and it just pops in I believe with some push pins looks like it y so toolless that's very nice and then on top of that it also comes with this kit the mesh panel also comes with these uh fan mounts so you just Mount them vertically to the front of the case like this and depending on how far you space them apart you can either Mount up to 3 12 mm fans or 2 140 mm fans like the original o1d there's already a ton of air flow going through this case but if you just want to maximize the air flow then this is the kit for you we also have a power button right here which is kind of uh interesting it's it kind of wraps around the edge the corner of the case so I guess depending on if you have the case on your right side or your left side of your desk it just makes it more accessible and easier to press and it feels good feels nice and solid good quality just below that you've got a reset button and two buttons for lighting control there's built-in lights into the case and you've got different colors and different modes or effects that you can do we'll take a look at that once the build is fully assembled in here at the bottom of the case we have our front Dio we've got USB 3.1 type-c two USB 3.0 ports and an audio combo Jack and this is actually modular so you can actually move this either to the right side of the case up front right here or to the left side of the case at the back so lots of options very flexible and I actually kind of like this position uh right at the bottom of the case versus the original ports that were right here kind of on the front it was kind of awkward because anytime you plug in like an external uh let's say an external hard drive with like a a cable I actually have one that has a pretty short cable it's a external SSD and it just sort of hangs awkwardly the cable that it came with isn't long enough for the SSD to rest on the desk so it just sort of it gets suspended in midair it's a a little weird it's also putting a little bit of strain on the USB port so I actually prefer the bottom ports and the fact that you can switch it on either side as well is very handy Tupper glass side panel on the left that hasn't changed ventilated top and then on the back here we have a mounting point for a 120 mm fan cut out for your rear I/O on the motherboard and 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 expansion slots that are horizontal we'll talk more about vertical GPU mounting and even upright GPU mounting in this case later on cut out for your power supply we also have our hard drive cage here which is accessed from the very rear of the case you just pop that off with a single thumb screw and you have two trays for 2 and 1/2 in or 3 and 1/2 in drives you can even swap these out I believe you can do this with the original o1d as well but you can actually swap the position of the hard drive cage and the power supply if you wanted to reverse them or you can even take this out completely remove the hard drive cage and have a second power supply if you wanted to have a dual PSU system above the hard drive cage we have a grommet that you may or may not use depending on how you mount your GPU if you decide to Mount Your GPU upright this will actually be where you pass through your video cables and again we'll explore that later on we have a ventilated side panel on the right side pops off with some push pins it's actually fairly loose right now because this is a a sample this is not a retail model but the retail version will have magnets that allow the uh the side panel to stick on more securely but it just pops out with some toolless push pins very easy uh we'll take a look at that side uh Cable Management side in just a bit I think that pretty much sums it up for the outside of the case other than a removable dust filter that you get at the bottom let's go ahead and actually show you that really quick so here's your removable dust filter pretty straightforward and then here you can sort of see those mounting points for uh the I/O panel if you did want to relocate it either again to the left side or the right side of the case and as you can see there's plenty of ventilation here if you want to mount fans or radiators uh the bottom of the case supports up to 360 mm RADS or up to 280 depending on whether you're going with 120 or 140 mm fans believe the panels come off the same way as they did on the 11d so two thumb screws for the top panel side panel just lifts up much easier to do with two hands oh boy you know what I stand corrected this panel doesn't just slide up anymore there's actually push pins so you fold it out like that aha still toolless though I'd imagine it's the same for the front panel yes taking a look inside this Beast there is much to discuss let's start with the motherboard tray first so supports up to eatx boards you've got grommets at the top on the sides one and two very generously sized and also some generous cutouts at the very bottom uh just below your motherboard so Cable Management should be a breeze there's also a large CPU Cooler cutout so you can access the back of your board if you ever need to swap out your CPU Cooler uh without having to uninstall your motherboard very nice to see there we also have a removable bracket so we have a modular bracket at the bottom now with a single thumb screw you just remove that and voila you can mount up to 360 or 280 mm radiators here but wait there's more if we slide this bracket back in we also have the option to use these included Drive mounting bars so they kind of Mount like this one there and one there and with these bars installed you can actually Mount up to 2 three and 1/2 in drives they would be stacked like this or you can do four 2 and 1/2 in drives whether they be hard drives or ssds of course and Leon Le has also included these anti vibration pads made of rubber so you can just pop them in the little holes there uh so that uh there's no vibration noise if you are using hard drives down here oh one neat thing I forgot to mentioned about the motherboard area Le and Le's also included a GPU sag bracket and it's very clever how they've done this I don't think I've seen this before but you guys let me know if you've seen it on other cases basically they include this uh or two of these two of these raay standoffs along with this bar and you basically replace the standoff in the middle and the one at the bottom Middle with these longer standoffs and from there you can mount this bar onto that well Mount Your motherboard First Mount this guy onto it and then you have these uh these little L brackets that go like this so let me see hold on all right now that I have my hands free I can kind of give you a visual on how this looks so the bar would go right there and you got this little L bracket boom and then you kind of adjust it wherever you need it to be uh depending on where your GPU is setting and there's actually two of these guys that come included if you're doing a multi-gpu setup and there are also um anti vibration pads or just rubber pads with adhesive on one side that you can just slap on there so that your GPU is not resting up against anything that's going to scratch it on the right side of the motherboard tray we have a bracket on the side of the case that's very familiar pretty much identical in a lot of ways to the original o1d that can mount up to 360 mm or 280 mm radiators it is fully modular and I really love the way that they've done this see this guy right there looks like a standard phillips head screw but you actually push it in and then you can pull out the bracket like so kind of just comes down like a drawbridge and you can remove that so it makes it easier to install fans and radiators and that sort of thing or you can replace this with the included Drive bracket where is it where it was it was around here somewhere oh duh it's right in front of my face okay so basically this can pop in in its place boom and just like that you can mount two 3 and 1/2 in drives or four 2 and 1/2 in drives very similar to the bottom bracket that we just looked and again you would use those anti vibration pads wherever you need them but wait there's more this is also the bracket that you would use if you wanted to opt for an upright GPU mounting orientation which is completely new to the o1d Evo and basically the way that works is you would have to buy once again a sold separately kit for upright GPU mounting uh so this is basically part of the kit it sort of mounts to the top of the case like there there's actually four screws that you would screw it in with boom boom boom boom and then you can actually Mount the GPU kind of like hanging down in an upright position so it be kind of like this and the cable would come out your video outs would be right here of course you'd probably Loop them up over here around the back along the top and then again out through that grommet at the back of the case that we mentioned earlier so that's pretty handy oh yeah the kit also comes included uh the upright GPU kit also comes included with the Riser cable let me make sure this is PCI Gen 4 it actually doesn't stay on the manual if it's gen 3 or Gen 4 I would imagine it's Gen 4 because this case is releasing in 2021 it's a high-end case but I'll put it somewhere on the screen once I find out or or if I forget to do that I'll put it in the comments uh what I'm curious though because when I do a build in this today I going to mount the GPU in the upright orientation with this add-on accessory uh just because I think it's fairly unique to the Evo probably one of the more unique things about it and I just kind of want to see how it works and how it looks I'm very curious though how it's going to look with this Riser cable basically connecting from the GPU uh PCA slot or you know PCA connector right here going to the motherboard it might look a little funky I'm going to have to or I guess let's see I guess it would kind of come from up here and then go down and then into the the top slot of our motherboard I believe the manual says to uh sort of use cable ties to sort of cinch This Together kind of make it look a bit more tidy and so it's not so wide but again we we'll have to see exactly how it looks when all said and done carrying on with the backs side of the case we have a familiar looking bracket looks a little bit different but still in the same location where you can actually Mount two ssds or two 2 and 1 half in drives one here and then one here on the inside you can see it's sort of got this zigzag shape going on like that uh so the drives would be on opposite sides of each other very easy to remove there's just two thumb screws one at the top one at the bottom I've already loosened them so it comes right out like that and behind the bracket we've got tons of room for cable management you can see some of our IO cables right there and you can even see that we've got these brackets now that pop out boom boom with the little slits so you can actually route uh some velcro straps there to really cinch everything down make sure that it's nice and tidy the side panel goes on without any issues even more room for cable management right above the hard drive cage and again this cage is removable uh if you were only using a single PSU and you weren't using any drives uh inside of this cage you would have a ridiculous amount of room for managing cables in here uh it would just be kind of a no-brainer you wouldn't really have to do much at all if you didn't want to just kind of shove it all in there and slap the side panel closed but we all know that we're not that lazy right and of course below that is where your power supply would go kind of on its side and remember the uh the side panel is completely ventilated here so you would have plenty of air flow there and there's a little Riser here for the PSU to rest on so it's not drooping and putting any tension on the case two little things I forgot to point out earlier uh are the remaining two add-on accessories that you can purchase for this case again sold separately the first of which being additional IO panel so this is very similar to the one that's already at the front uh bottom of the case except it doesn't have the audio combo Jack so this would be used in addition to uh the the existing IO panel at the front so again you can put this either on the left side or the right side of the case and then the second add-on accessory would be this guy the top I/O option top I/O panel so this would essentially replace this piece right here and as you can see it's got cutouts for some I/O but to use this panel you would essentially have to relocate uh the front IO uh panel that comes included with the case so that would just sort of Route behind the motherboard tray and then up boom right at the top so that would actually be really handy if you have this PC on the floor which I don't suggest you do shame on you but if you have to whatever you don't have a choice or something like that it would be really inconvenient to access ports the very bottom of the case that would that would actually suck really bad at this point I think we're pretty much ready to start building in this thing I know I'm pretty excited for it again I'm going to do an upright GPU configuration which is going to be again to the right of the motherboard I think I'm going to keep the uh the tempered glass panel at the front here I'm not going to do the mesh and after we're done building we'll take a quick look at temperatures primarily on our CPU and graphics card to see if the thermal performance of the O 11d Evo lives up to the [Music] original [Music] all right here it is here's the build honestly not not like the nicest looking build I've ever put together but I wasn't really going for Aesthetics I was just trying to hone in on the build experience so I can relay my experience to you guys I build a lot of PCS right and it's been a while since I've gotten this frustrated with the build and it all mostly has to do with this right here the upright GPU mounting system so I have I have a lot of gripes with it for starters this look it barely get a finger in there how am I going to fit three pcie cables mind you each cable has an eight pin a 6 plus2 pin coming off of it I couldn't even get this one through you know they they're there Daisy chained right and at first I just used the daisy chain connector push that through but it was getting caught it wasn't long enough it was the other connector on it was getting caught and I it wouldn't actually reach the plugs on the gpus I had to shove both connectors on each cable through this tiny ass hole why is it so tiny I don't it was so frustrated it took me like 15 minutes just to just to plug the cables into the graphics card I was swearing like a sailor it was very frustrating and that's why you you have this this mess here the other thing is that if you're going to be mounting a GPU that's fat a fatty GPU that's thick like this one this is what a 2 and 1 half slot card technically only takes up two expansion slots but it's like you know the the cooler is about 2 and 1 half slot then bear in mind that you're barely going to have room for a 280 mm radiator this radiator right here it's touching the graphics card they're bumping uglies right now and if this GPU was just a hair thicker this would not fit oh by the way I didn't want to mount the radiator on the bottom of the case that was not my intention I wanted to mount it to the top but the other thing about this upright GPU configuration is that it totally blocks 280 mm radiators at the top of the case there's no clearance for a 280 because the bracket the bra see see this is the thing the bracket is is technically three slots so you could fit a three slot GPU in here but because it's a three slot bracket it's so thick that this part of the bracket this end it interferes with a 280 mm rad at the top and it's annoying because I'm only really using two slots if this was just like I don't know a piece you could remove so that this bracket was more shallow and went deeper into the case I could have easily fit this radiator at the top but instead I had him out at the bottom which is not good because typically you don't want your radiator uh below the pump cuz what that does is it essentially brings air bubbles towards the top of of the loop and you don't want little air bubbles next to your pump because it could potentially dry run you never want to run your pump dry even if it's like partially dry cuz that can wear out the lifespan shorten the lifespan of the pump it's not good for longevity so I would never run this build in this configuration long term this is just for the purpose of the build because I had no choice I had no choice cuz this was taking up taking up the room off also this is kind of annoying the video cable that you got to pass through goes around the backside you know it's fine it's fine it works passes through there but I mean you think about it anytime you want to plug something in or unplug something out of your GPU you have to basically remove two screws and three side panels just to plug something in which is going to get old real fast for most people the other big compromise of having the GPU here is that it takes up case fan space you'd ordinarily be able to mount 31 120s or 240s here but you can't do that obviously when the GPU is here and since I can't mount a second 140 here by the way it's not even that I can't mount a 280 rad with fans at the top I brought the 140 out cuz I was like oh well I got to put the Raider at the bottom that's cool I'll just Mount two 140s at the top no this won't fit either this one fit it again if this piece was modular just this end of the bracket could just be taken off if you were only using a two slot GPU I'd be able to fit this but I can't so I have 1 2 3 4 I have four case fans have you ever seen this few fans in an 0d I I don't even think I've seen this few fans in an1 air mini and obviously like you could put fans at the front here if you had the mesh panel but that's sold separately that's more money you have to spend on what's already probably a very expensive case do I sound stressed good good also the Riser cable the Riser cable looks not great I don't like it I did my best to to Cable tie it where I could and it still just doesn't look very good I tried you know like all right maybe I'll route the 24 pin over it kind of like block it a little bit I mean it Blends in kind of nice nicely on camera and stuff black on black lighting is not great but it's uh it's just kind of an iore the GPU does look pretty cool it it's Unique right it and Visually this is really the only visual thing that really sets this case apart from the original o1d I mean without this if if this was just mounted here to the untrained eye most people would just think oh that's an 11d they wouldn't think like oh that's the new one but in my opinion the compromises and the pain in the ass the headache it's not worth it it's not worth it unless your custom water cooling because in that case you would have most likely a single slot GPU just you know the the GPU PCB with a water block on it it would drastically reduce the amount of space that this is taking up which means you'd have more room for radiat at the bottom although you would still have clearance issues with a radiator at the top in the case is defense another cool thing about uh mounting a custom liquid coil GPU is that it opens up this area of the case for runs so you could do a lot of different kind of unique runs that you otherwise wouldn't be able to because the GPU would either be here or be mounted vertically right here so it does open up the door to a lot of creativity but I'm not doing a custom Loop I'm sure I would have had a lot more fun with this build if it was a custom Loop and I think that's kind of the moral the story here I'm not done with this video yet we still got to timee about the backside and temps and stuff but I think I use this case for the wrong reason this is not the type of build you should put in the o1d Evo the o1d Evo is for custom Loop PC Builders who want to get fancy who want something really unique and they want to get artsy with it at the end of the day this case it is littered with features but a lot of those features the average user is not going to use but it's all factored into the price of the case you're going to be paying for all these features whether you use them or not and with the build that I put in here today I think it's very underutilized I'm not leveraging all this case has to offer very effectively and I think the narrative here would be a lot more positive if I was actually taking advantage of everything this case has to offer because it offers a lot just a quick note about the bracket the removable bracket the original o1d didn't have a bracket you just mounted the radiator fan straight to the case and I actually prefer that over the mounting bracket the reason being the case is heavy generally right the oldd the original one it's it's a heavy case it stays planted when you've got a big radiator assembly up against it and you're trying to screw it in from the other end it just stays planted the the mounting bracket especially like once you already have like your motherboard assembly mounted into the case you're it's just kind of slipping sliding around it doesn't feel very stable it was kind of annoying to like all right got to like thread the screws and stuff it just wasn't as seamless of a mounting experience in my opinion the other thing about the bracket is that it doesn't just plamp straight into the case it goes in and then it slides like half an inch to the left think let's say I'm mounting a radiator at the bottom of the case I'm pretty picky I'm pretty particular of like where I want it mounted it's like it's got to be just centered right centered just right so there's it's equidistant from the front and the and the back of the case it's hard to visualize that when you're assembling everything outside of the chassis so what I ended up having to do was sort of Mount this to the bracket and then put it in the case slide it over and kind of eyeball like oh it's it's off to the left you know half an inch and then I have to like take it out loosen the screws on the fans slide it over half an inch to the right tighten it back up and then put the mount back in or the bracket back in and be like okay now it's good so you know you know what I mean it's just kind of wasn't quite as intuitive as I'm used to to seeing in the O 11d original one more thing about Aesthetics and another reason why I'm not a huge fan of the GPU mounted here is that because you can't mount a radiator up here there's just a lot of unused space empty space directly above the motherboard and so you get this really like kind of obvious look at the uh The Grommet which doesn't look all that great there's like a lot of just bare Steel and it looks a little it looks a little empty quite frankly you know it's my obligation to call it how I see it not everyone's going to agree with me on any of this you know it'd be disingenuine if I didn't tell you exactly how I'm feeling about this build right now and everything that I'm observing so let's take a look at the back really quick uh so some good things why don't we talk about some good things Cable Management pretty good in this case I mean there's infinite amounts of room for for stashing cables right I could have even had like sleeved extensions added on to all of these cables and still had plenty of room to stash away everything nicely all right back to the bad things uh so this this thing I don't like it it's it's annoying because they put the velcro strap directly behind it so when I'm tying things down this is in the way it's directly behind I'm just like how comfortable does this look right now cuz it's not it's not and there's another one down here and another velcro strap again directly behind it just getting in the way of things if these could just pop off really easy like toolless Le or something even if there was a little thumb screw or something wouldn't be a big deal um and then there's also this this panel right what if you're not using this for drives not mounting hard drives or ssds back here because that's something you can do with this panel where are the tie down points I would have liked to see some tie down points I mean imagine if I had like a like a Corsair Commander Pro or something right with like 12 cables coming out of it six fans six RGB cables there's no tie down points here I mean yeah sure you can just route them over to the right but what if I want to Route them down or route them up or anywhere else it would have been nice if they thought that through and added some more cable management features uh to this panel to make it a bit more versatile I'm not saying it's not versatile and it's not smart and clever that they've done this you know upright GPU thing but I feel like this case is so extra that they kind of forgot about really little simple traditional things so again this case is a beast it does a lot it can do a lot it's very flexible very versatile but I just I don't think it's it's for the average Builder I think this is for someone who again is doing a custom Loop build and they want to get fancy with it they want to try something new and they they really want it to look unique this is again the most unique VIs visually speaking the most unique thing about the D Evo versus the original o1d and it's the biggest pain in the ass to work with if you're using a fatty air cool GPU like I am today you know that being said I am very interested to see people using this case for the right reasons for for the proper types of builds for something just balls to the wall that would be on the CES show floor something like that completely custom cooled and I think I think this case is going to do really well for those users but for the average person if you're just doing a build regular build just get the o1d you're going to pay less money and you're not going to be paying for a bunch of extra features that you're not going to use okay temps how are the temps let's look at temps before we continue this video is brought to you by the Corsair Xenon 32 QHD 165 gaming monitor corsair's first display is a 32in 2560x1440 Quantum do IPS panel with a 165 HZ refresh rate and 1 millisecond response time featuring seamless integration with Corsair IQ and elgato's multimount system for more information click on the link in the description below okie dokie jumping into some Halo infinite been playing around 15 or 20 minutes the GPU and CPU are fully heat soaked and I haven't even told you guys what the specs are in this build you know I thought there was a 5800 x a ryzen 7 500x in here it's actually a ryzen 5 5600x so I I was actually hoping it'd be a slightly higher end CPU so we could sort of get it uh get it toasty get it a bit more toasty get some more cores and threads in there uh to really tax the case but um it is what it is 5600x is at 70% 70 to 80% utilization thereabouts uh well it's kind of fluctuating all over the place 60% at times um but nowhere near 100% and we're getting around anywhere between 60 to 65 C is what I've been seeing so far um just at a glance our GPU is not doing so great as you can see we're hitting around 86° C right now at 95 roughly 100% utilization and this is the RTX 3090 um that uh that we're actually using right now uh the Asus Rog stricks RTX 390 gaming OC so it is Factory overclocked but you can see there it's only hitting we're only hitting around less than 1900 MHz which I guess isn't too bad but uh we would definitely see that go up quite a bit if we had significantly cooler temps so what this tells me is that I have yet another reason to dislike the upright GPU orientation in this case because again if we didn't have that GPU there we could install three more 120 mm fans or a couple 280s or 140s I should say sorry um and I think temps would would actually uh show a lot of improvement in that regard ah sorry got distracted yeah I mean it's just it's it's kind of a hot boox right now again we've only got those two 140 mm fans that are on the radiator right now those are our only intakes in this case at the moment it's actually not surprising at all that we're seeing such high temperatures I would imagine things would change and improve significantly if we were to use the optional mesh panel uh mesh front panel kit and have a few more fans mounted at the front of the case I'm not going to do that right now what I can do what I can do is remove the front panel I'll just remove it entirely I'll actually swap it out for the mesh and and not install any fans and we'll just see what it does to our GPU temps Hur my team needs me suddenly everything's gone everything's gone what the here it is you got it boom bada bing bada boom all right I have literally done nothing other than swap out the front tempered glass panel for a mesh one no extra fans have been added just simply opening up some air flow some passive air uh so that uh that GPU gets a little bit of fresh intake and again it's not even active intake it's just it's just more ventilated at the front now within seconds our GPU has decreased it has dropped 6° roughly we're at 80c now and you can see we are now hovering over 19 well we were hovering over 1900 MHz we're much closer to yeah we're we're we're doing 1900 now 1900 you know I mean 6° is is not a small amount especially when you're when you're talking about going from 86 to 80 imagine this with a couple fans slapped onto the front of the case I think my hypothesis is right and that we could probably get this GPU down to maybe 75c if we were to add some fans to the front of the case but um okay we're at 79 79 is it continuing to go down maybe it'll continue going down can we do I hear 78 eh CPU is still about the same our 5600x is still hovering in the 60s low to mid-60s I didn't expect that to change all that much because again that's all getting its intake from the very bottom of the case swapping out the front panel wouldn't really change that much um oh we're at 78 78c 78c on the GPU oh back up to 79 I'm going to die okay it's okay feel don't feel too good about yourself don't get cocky filming a video so uh I firmly believe that the temperatures in the o1d Evo have the potential to be very good and the therbal performance is probably on par or maybe even better than the original o1d but with the current setup that I have uh and the configuration with this upright GPU and a very limited number of fans especially for this chassis it's really no surprise that we're seeing some underwhelming results with the graphics card at the moment and you know the other thing that kind of sucks is that this mesh front panel that's made quite a difference here is sold separately it's not included with the case at least I don't think it is if it is then I'm so sorry Le and Le I I didn't catch that in the reviewer's guide that it was included I'm pretty sure it's sold separately um but if it is sold separately that's kind of a bummer because anyone who wants to take advantage of this upright GPU configuration is is going to have to pay extra if they want semide decent temps unless we're doing custom water cooling which again makes a case ah pun intended uh for for really only buying this case if you're going to do some some custom Loop action this is just my opinion this is my opinion but I think if you're just buying this case for a regular build you are wasting your money there are other cases that will do the job just fine that won't have a bajillion extra features that you won't be using but you will still be paying for the Bal the story here is that I should do a sick ass custom Loop build in this case okay but but I would have to do it with the upright GPU it would be the the upright GPU Redemption build if you want that build to happen let me know give me some ideas give me a theme give me a color scheme whatever just blow up the comments feed the algorithm that special sauce and that's pretty much all I have to say about this case it's very interesting review if you liked it toss like on it before you go get subscribed for more Tech content on the way and I will see you after I play some more Halo infinite for the next 5 hours I love this game
