    I wonder if it would be possible for them to make a full-cover water block for a short PCB GPU (likely made of copper/aluminum), and then pretty much staple a RAD-Pump combo to the side of the GPU (120mm-like RAD so the size of the GPU would be like a normal-length card).

    That way, you’d get the Cooling/Noise benefits of a RAD-Card, but without taking up the extra PCIE-Slot.

    The water block style first layer would handle the card itself and doing it that way, if the top of the block is layered correctly, the heat from the Rad/Fan exhausting towards the back of the GPU (in a blower-style config) shouldn’t create too much loss of cooling.

    Alienware cases feel like looking at a giant xbox 360



  3. Marmalade Sally on September 3, 2023 at 12:25 am

    That thing looks like a hunk of garbage.



  4. Xyma Ryai on September 3, 2023 at 12:33 am

    did we get almost 2 gpu generations in 2ish years? we had the 40 series at the end of ’22, 30 series in ’21, and 20 series in 2020, thats a generation per year right? wasn’t the difference between 900, 10, and 20 series 1.5 to 2 years?

    This is a thermaltake tide water copycat πŸ˜‚

    lol



  8. sunny on September 3, 2023 at 12:37 am

    isn’t this the same model that GN reviewed and it turned out to be complete garbage?



  9. rabbitslayer42 on September 3, 2023 at 12:42 am

    If it only costs $00.40, it would add up to just over $20,000,000…they’re expensive enough with out a black chassis



  10. Dustin Davis on September 3, 2023 at 12:45 am

    That thing looks stupidly ridiculous



  11. scottcol23 on September 3, 2023 at 12:46 am

    Alienware used to be all about performance. They were sleek Industry Standard case construction that looked great. But you were paying top $$ for a PC that worked great out of the box and had the best specs. Once Dell got its grubby mitts on it they managed to turn it into a brand where looks trump function. WTF.



  12. Silent Node on September 3, 2023 at 12:46 am

    Downvote was for very soft treatment of the shit here. It wasn’t sponsored, but Dell sure got so friendly value from this extremely friendly treatment of a bad product.



  13. Abishek J on September 3, 2023 at 12:47 am

    Alienware made this stupid case the best it could possibly get. LET ALIENWARE DO ITS THING DELL! LEAVE THEM ALONE!



  14. AdonDaniel on September 3, 2023 at 12:48 am

    I wonder if Linus is purposely rough on expensive things simply to make us cringe



  15. Theseus on September 3, 2023 at 12:48 am

    That case is hideous.



  16. Wanton Laughter b on September 3, 2023 at 12:51 am

    Man Alienware gonna use that chassis until the end of the world



  17. OCMonke on September 3, 2023 at 12:51 am

    Its insane how they kept the interion design and structure of their cases similar over the years..



  18. nope! on September 3, 2023 at 12:53 am

    asetek…design…xD This company stands for cheapness (in the bad way)



  19. Zwenk Wiel on September 3, 2023 at 12:54 am

    I don’t get this goofy Alienware style, looks like something Apple rejected…



  20. norweeg on September 3, 2023 at 12:54 am

    That mouse is the same one Dell ships with their cheapest Wyse thin client. With how Dell is doing these days, it doesn’t surprise me.



  21. mastergamerjmo on September 3, 2023 at 12:56 am

    Bruh in Arizona winfpter my water cooled 3060ti thermal throttles from the heat in the room even rethought the room is about 60Β°F



  22. DAT Wagonator on September 3, 2023 at 12:58 am

    Just make a bigger damn chasis, oh wait, they got millions of the same old boxes laying around and they would rather spend quarter of a million making new plastic parts to cover it in some sick frankenstein monster.



  23. de_mon on September 3, 2023 at 12:59 am

    YouTube is starting to go crazy… I had a double ad segment before the video (unskippable) then throughout the video got disturbed for a double ad segment twice (unskippable) after that there was another single ad segment (unskippable) and as usual the video ended with a double ad segment (second one skippable)

    What the fuck YouTube. I donβ€˜t mind ads before or after the video but stop disturbing me while watching.



  24. Kerbin on September 3, 2023 at 1:00 am

    I like to think about the engineer that was working on that card talking to his boss with his boss saying but can’t we get 70%? And the engineer argues no I will have it at 69% or nothing.



  25. bill_and_amanda on September 3, 2023 at 1:01 am

    I have this exact same chassis on my XPS 8930 except without the douchey plastic shroud



  26. robert smith on September 3, 2023 at 1:02 am

    It’s a shit case with no airflow



  27. Bwop MC on September 3, 2023 at 1:04 am

    Go outside!?! Never.



  28. AethΓ«r on September 3, 2023 at 1:05 am

    This dosent feel like a normal ltt video…



  29. Neko man z on September 3, 2023 at 1:05 am

    Dont buy the whole community hates that has owned over 3 years there heat bricks with mandatory parts that are all unbranded and you cant swop out the cooler or the power supplies. 3 years of my hard earned money down the drain. every part in this is mid and dont get me started on thee ram omg ugly. I’m very unhappy with it. I like how they say 60% less noise but the tiny fans it has are bad and the you need to turn them up cuse of the fans suck i hate that there taking sponsors from such bad company’s



  30. Graeme on September 3, 2023 at 1:05 am

    I have a liquid-cooled R11. It’s a con. I’ve never known a system as loud as this. The blowers go max at the merest hint I’m about to play a game, and are louder than a 40-inch room fan I use. It cost a fortune, took a month to arrive (twice as long as advertised) and Dell ignored all of my emails cancelling the deal during that extra time, ignored the cancel order I placed on the Dell website under my login and order number, and ignored all cancel orders after delivery. They took my money and I’m stuck with this ridiculously expensive, ridiculously loud piece of **** computer.

    Oh yeah I might add that during the month of waiting for my delivery, Dell sent me several cheery emails telling me there was 20-30% off the same computer I was buying, and then refused to honour the deal on my as-yet undelivered order. Absolute fucking cunts.

    World of Warships is Jayz sponser 😲



  32. lisenaaaa on September 3, 2023 at 1:07 am

    11:00 "just go outside" you don’t know gamers at all, do you



  33. John Deich on September 3, 2023 at 1:08 am

    This is my current PC



  34. Jonny11 on September 3, 2023 at 1:09 am

    7:29 – I just realized, I had my headset sides swapped.



  35. Nicolas Chapados Girard on September 3, 2023 at 1:10 am

    Still won’t by that… It look awful



  36. Sandro Dach on September 3, 2023 at 1:10 am

    This case reminds me of an Dyson Fan.
    Maybe Dyson should make a PC Case.

    Alienware is the Apple of Dell xDDDD



  39. Adrian Ameijide on September 3, 2023 at 1:15 am

    My first peal was with the glass panel on my case. It recently fell and disintegrated into a popping pile



  40. Counter.Social @RiftRavingRogue on September 3, 2023 at 1:15 am

    Why use a knife when your keys are usually in your pocket or your thumb ?
    Packages I’ve ruined opening them with either my keys or thumbs 0.



  41. Roshan KC on September 3, 2023 at 1:18 am

    Is it worth to buy Alienware R13 if I can get 25% off?



  42. Plasma man on September 3, 2023 at 1:19 am

    I love the videos but hate that you guys fully tape the boxes πŸ“¦ up as if it’s the first time being opened even though you tell us later that it already been tested. If feels like either crappy performance theater or you think people are too stupid to know. I don’t think the few people who get their rocks off by watching someone else open a fully taped box with leave the video if you leave it open or just put enough tape to keep it closed. You are however treating the rest of us like children and it feels like you are looking down at us and under estimating our intelligence



  43. Jacob Olness on September 3, 2023 at 1:19 am

    A 20 year old chassis with a plastic shell on it… for all that money



  44. Logan Feller on September 3, 2023 at 1:19 am

    he moved through my ears



  45. ImBadAtGames568 on September 3, 2023 at 1:19 am

    It seems as dell over engineered a solution to a problem they created by using the same case as they’re office pc’s



  46. Karnage Kollectibles on September 3, 2023 at 1:21 am

    It always annoyed me that you pay so much for these desktops which look cool on the outside and have good specs but then you open it up and just see GENERIC DELL SHIT. If you opened this up and you saw name brand Asus this, or Gigabyte that, or MSI smish, I would be much more inclined to shell out 3 grand for one of these.

    Edit: Whoa I did see some HyperX memory in t here. That’s a start.



  47. Darth Nox on September 3, 2023 at 1:21 am

    Jesus f christ that thing is ugly, it’s like Thanos landed his fat ass on a turtle, and then the turtle puked out a piece of a bounty hunter starship’s sublight engine – But it’s the inside what matters, they always say.



  48. John G. on September 3, 2023 at 1:21 am

    saving on the coper cable… why does this 8 pin only have 6 pins connected?…



  49. Wil T on September 3, 2023 at 1:22 am

    I think someone messed up the title of this video?
    I’m seeing the title and thumbnail of the Asetek Rad Card but the video is Alienware Aurora
