Alphacool Apex Pro Skeleton Carbon : The 1000 Euro Case
Description
Today's video is a combination of a review and a build because the case I am looking at is pretty special. It’s the Alphacool Apex Pro Skeleton Carbon case with a tubular carbon fibre frame and a combination of aluminium and carbon fibre panels and fan mounts. It would be quite difficult to review this case like any other normal PC case so instead Im going to build a fully custom water-cooled system with the Skeleton Carbon and then let you know what I think of it.
