Review: HP Omen 45L Case - A Full Walkthrough and DIY Build

TLDRIn this video, I review the HP Omen 45L case, providing a full walkthrough and DIY build. The case supports ATX, micro ATX, and mini ITX motherboards, and can fit even the longest GPUs. It has excellent airflow design, with a separate compartment for the radiator and fans. The case lighting strip is 12V RGB but the front logo lighting is proprietary. There is no CPU cable pass-through and the front panel connections are too short. Overall, it is a great case with some minor drawbacks.
