Does the Threadripper 2970WX still have what it takes to be a competent workstation in 2024? I sure hope so, because Rett is expecting this system to last for the next 10 years. And the InWin Dubili will probably outlive us both.

But first... What am I drinking???

A classic Rum Cocktail in the Swizzle!
Mix 1/2 fresh lime, a barspoon of Honey and 4 dashes bitters into a glass and stir well. Pour that into a Collins glass filled with crushed ice. Add 2oz of Spiced Rum and a few pinches of granulated sugar. Then... Swizzle! Garnish with a lime wheel, strawberries, mixed berries, or any other fruit you desire. This is the definition of a dangerous rum drink.

    Heh, what a fantastic build. Also the plastic feet hurt my soul too Jeff, you're not the only one.
  • @pyroslev
    Gorgeous case. Inwin can make some of the wackiest, mundane or prettiest cases.
  • @corombb
    Being a flatpack case I thought it'd be slightly cheaper, but $230 is similarly priced to many other high end non-flatpack EATX cases (including the preassembled version at $250). A comparably sized Phanteks Eclipse P600S costs $120-$150 depending on version and vendor. Wish it was slightly better priced, but maybe they'll come down over time.
  • @fourthplanet
    the amazon link shows pictures of the case with the metal arks as feet. Always enjoy watching a good build
  • @AndrewWells527
    The case does look great and $320 (shipping and taxes) is a premium but acceptable price. What I can't get past though is the lack of 5 1/4" bays. I have an internal drive for ripping media and also multiple card readers for ingesting from cameras. I don't know why someone would have a giant tower and then go though the trouble of having port replicators, card readers, and other external drives cluttering up their workspace. If I were to build a non-rack server though, it would likely be this case.

    As a lover of the color orange, I'm drooling over this build's colorway
  • @makouille495
    i wish second hand market in France for Threadripper was as good as in the US or China ! been a while im looking for a cheapo workstation combo for 3D rendering so i can slap in my old Pascal GPUs in it and enjoy the full x16 lanes of PCIe per cards !
  • @MarkHyde
    I love computer cases that require you to have 'trained' Meccano in your formative years lol :) Great build and another awesome video.
  • @SavageScientist
    I just built a custom loop in this case its on my youtube channel. I had to modify the case quite a bit and paint it. Modifying the Dubili case is easy.
  • @xgansterplayz
    could you not turn the metal handles around (up-side-down) and us them as feet?
  • @DavidSiebert
    To fix the feet issue with that case just get some steel strips bend them into a loop. You would also have to weld and grind it flat. Aluminum would work as well. Color matching might be an issue but it could work.
  • @MikeHowles
    ETH did not go “ASIC mining” as you said around the 3:15 mark. It went Proof of Stake. Still love you though Jeff.
  • @Jack32X
    I neeeeeeed this case holy cow
