If it's any consolation, it's extremely obvious to most viewers that he didn't put in any research or consideration into the build. I cringed watching him. The case looks awesome and well-built, and anyone buying a case like this is going to spend a lot of time carefully picking out parts and making measurement comparisons and checking compatibility lists.I don't know why Bitwit didn't just hold on for a week before posting the video. He was very clearly in a rush, to the point he didn't even want to wait a couple extra days to get brass standoffs instead of the nylon ones. It reflects badly on him and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get picked to sample new cases by other casemakers going forward. You can't build in a SFF case in a rush. It takes planning and care, especially when you start getting into the ~10L cases (as opposed to something more forgiving like the Meshlicious).He didn't want to go back and undo his work/put in a new AIO. He just kept forcing everything to fit and eventually did. So I guess his video served two purposes:1. To reinforce that you should never build in an SFF case without planning and research.2. To demonstrate that even if you build with no plan, you can (probably) force it to fit anyway-- which makes the case somewhat newbie friendly, because a well-researched newbie will still do 10x better than Kyle did here.
