Meet Dave - a long-time industry advocate who's worked as a reviewer, a case modder, and a technician at various water cooling companies. In this video, we walk through a crazy last-minute PC build that was done for Computex in a custom one-off case. The video is more about introducing you to more industry people than anything else! If you've ever thought about working in the industry, this gives you an idea for what the technicians go through to get builds done in time for their companies.

We wanted to introduce you all to another industry veteran and someone we've worked with a long time and respect. Dave has been a reviewer, a case modder, a water cooling technician, and now basically professionally builds computers for trade shows. If you've ever thought about working in the industry, this gives you an idea for what the technicians go through to get builds done in time for their companies.

Thanks for coming to chat to me about the case Steve! It was awesome to see you at InWin HQ. Quite the surprise. It's always a pleasure to chat to you! Apologies for my head being all over the place. Sleep deprivation and not having time to do any concrete notes on the case made for a bit of an unusual video from me, but hey, you're editors did a great job! See you very soon hopefully! - Dave

I dinged a $250 case last year and it stung. If only I had had an InWin rep with a handy sheet of stickers, I might still have that case, rather than selling it on to someone willing to face the result of my fumblefingers.

While I may not like a lot of the cases In Win make, I love and appreciate their willingness to do different things and be creative with them. The industry needs more In Wins. And this build was actually really cool. It came out looking really good.

@davido_labido Жыл бұрын

This is correct, however, the screws were too long in the prototype sample and they would hit each slat as you tried to push it in, so if you flip it, it scratches the sliders, but doesn't get stuck, which is far better when showing it off haha :D
