MC0002 - Fractal Meshify Build and Thermaltake Floe RC 360 AIO Unboxing Overview

They say good things come in small packages and while the Meshify C isn't DAN Case level of small, it's certainly economical with it's size and space. What this system isn't economical with is benchmark-smashing power. Packing some of the latest hardware from AMD and Nvidia, it's diminutive figure belittles it's ability to pulverise the latest games into submission.

While building this rig I also got the chance to look at the Thermaltake Floe RC 360, the world's first CPU and RAM AIO liquid cooler:
