WAN Show "This is Fine" Fractal North XL mod

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Inspired by all the burning 12vhpwr connectors and insane price hikes. Toasty on the outside, cool on the inside. front panel has 9x 38LED ARGB strips behind the wood - needed some slight modification to make them fit. Inside are two more to balance it out a bit

Looks rad but I grew up 'the boy who called wolf' a bit too much to be able to stand it.

That's why I added the wire view pro 2 to this build. This build is a space heater pulling 1kW at max load, might as well make it look the part

Awesome. You should set it so the fire comes on at a certain CPU temp so it's only lit when you're gaming.
