The Abkoncore Ramesses 780 (R780) is a massive full-tower case that's outfitted with 12 fans stock, but most of them blow into walls. We're completely baffled by how anyone could actually design this intentionally, then still brag about how great the airflow and cooling is. This case, despite being large, is so inefficiently laid-out that its actual usable space is comparable to much smaller enclosures, so it doesn't even win in the "just be large" department. The fans were even custom-designed to mount in the bottom while showing the LEDs clearly, but they still can't overcome the panel limitations for air access.

almost looks like whoever made this case thought that fans produce cool air
-
Named Ramesses because there's about the same amount of air here as in a sarcophagus
-
Funnily enough, circulating hot air inside a box is how a convection oven works. Those extra fans inside are literally cooking your components.
-
Finally, a PC case that meets the extremely high standards of The Verge.
-
"open the wind way" just means that you should remove all the panels before using the case
-
When your company's only requirement is that everyone has a marketing degree.
-
Maybe we can create a processor that decreases entropy? As in, it takes an already solved math problem as an input, un-solves it, and creates cold instead of heat. This case would be perfect!
-
This is genius, how did nobody think of this before?! Even the best dust filters still let some through, but solid steel lets absolutely no dust through, genius!
-
If eBay sellers got their hands on this, they’d put in a Pentium and a GT 1030 and call it a “gaming PC” selling for $1000
-
He's going to feel so dumb when he realizes he just reviewed a fan oven, thinking it was a PC case.
-
3 guys sitting in a warehouse with 1000 fans stacked all around them: "Man, what do we do with all these fans...?" ]
-
Funny, I bought an Abkoncore case (can't remember the model) for a simple "office spec" PC, just a 2200G nothing fancy. It has 3 fans at the front, supposedly for intake, and 1 at the back (the usual place). Thing is, there's absolutely NO holes AT ALL on the front plate, it's sealed shut, just plain metal and a semi-transparent strip for the RGB. There are small slits at the top, which seems to be more of a decoration than anything else, you can't even install any fan there. So the only functional hole is the exhaust one at the back, which pulls air out without allowing any air in (or the minuscule amount of air sucked in through that decoration slits). I think it's designed by the same guy. The fact they have 3 fans at the front with ZERO holes to let air in is mind blowing, no pun intended
-
So, you could say this is a "OnlyFans" -case.
-
Thumbnails never dissapoint. The case is being cooked by the extreme glare of Tech Jesus..
-
"They've somehow managed to make ventilation dangerous and ineffective." Got a good chuckle from me, sir. Cheers... now let's burn it so it doesn't reproduce...
-
given the cost of manufacturing I would legitimately like to know how this makes it to existence
-
"Designed by The Verge"
-
Q: Should I configure these fans as intake, or exhaust? A: No.

This reminds me of that time my father put on what he thought was mosquito repellent, but it was actually a mosquito attractant that you're supposed to put close by so that it would attract mosquitoes to itself and away from you.
