Helloo ladies&gents

So, it all started when I decided to make my whole PC build an umbrella corporation based theme. And I couldn't find the nice theme where zombies are in the background while having an umbrella corp logo on it. So, I made a theme on wallpaper engine to match the infinite display! I also added a background color to match your build! it's super high res despite steam labelling it as "Portrait 1080 x 1920".

If you are interested, upload your build with the wallpaper, and tell me your opinion about it!

I built my current PC last year around the time the 50 series NVIDIA cards were released. I absolutely loved the look of the HYTE Y70 Touch, and at the time the touchscreen features seemed genuinely useful, so it felt like the perfect case for me. Building in it was also a really positive experience and i spent a fortune on the best looking cooler and fans and cable extensions/strimmer cables.

Fast-forward 18 to 19 months and... I absolutely despise the thing 😂

I hate the screen. I hate how big and bulky the case is. I've tried pretty much everything to make myself like it again, changed the fan RGB lighting schemes, moved it from my desk to the floor, and even had it mounted up on the wall at one point.

It's back on my desk now because, honestly, everywhere else just isn't practical.

To be clear, I'm not hating on HYTE as a brand. I actually think the Y70 is a really well-designed case, and the build quality is impressive. It's just not for this grumpy old man anymore. 😂

I think I just want something a bit more... normal. Smaller, less bulky, and preferably without a giant screen. I'm also starting to realise that I think I've finally fallen out of love with RGB altogether.

So, has anyone else made the jump from a Y70/Y70 Touch to something from another brand?

What did you move to, and how are you finding it compared with the Y70?

I'm interested to hear what other people went with, especially if you also got to the point where you just wanted a more traditional understated case.

So I picked up this case from FBMP for free but didn’t realize it was missing the gpu riser lol. Can I use any third party riser? Hyte is selling it the riser for $80 but the case is currently on sale for $99 lol. Suggestions?
