    I’m not gonna go watch the video. But if that’s an asthetic touch screen, that case is so beyond extra it’s ridiculous.

    More and more I’m convinced my next case will be a simple black case with metal side panels. I wast want my computer to work, I don’t need to throw any more resources at this shit.

    You know you pay for that in your electric bill, right?

      I’m sure the $1 a year it takes to power that screen will be bank account breaking

      The previous Hyte Y60 had a similar option, but only provided a (non-touch) screen in kit form, requiring the user to 3D print their own bracket or mount it with double sided tape. Bit jank.

      Having it fully integrated like this is pretty great for those who are into the aesthetic. Not my cup of tea, but the implementation is what the Y60 should have had and it’s nice to see that they cleaned it up.

      This is art, some people like black box, other people like that. As for the cost of electricity, that’s going to be pennies a year, not something to be concerned about.

    Outside of the whole RGB is overdone thing, what I would really like to see is more innovation in the actual performance side of things.

    I’m completely fine with RGB rainbow puke boxes being widely available for the people who want that, it’s the complete unbalance of things that I’m bummed about, innovative cases that try to push the envelope of how much cooling can be done in as small (but practical, not talking SFF here) a space are pretty rare.

    I’m obviously aware it’s much easier said than done, putting lights in a case is way easier than reinventing the wheel of how to design a PC case that will actually net a noticeable improvement. So not really blaming the manufacturers here it makes sense, just not what I as en enthusiast would prefer the market to be.
