NCIX PC Special Edition 650D Masking & Loading Masked Cases Into the Car Linus Tech Tips

The video showcases Linus Tech Tips covering the masking process and transport of a small batch of Corsair Obsidian 650D cases for a limited edition PC build. The hosts explain the masking strategy in detail, noting which parts of the cases will be painted and which will remain unpainted to maintain clean lines between colors. They demonstrate the use of masking on the top and sides to ensure the painted red accents appear only where intended, while preserving the natural contours and dividing lines of the chassis. The crew has prepped multiple cases, with the narration indicating that two are fully masked and ready for painting, another two awaiting similar treatment, and a third in progress. After masking, the team discusses loading four masked cases into a car and transporting them to painters, while accessories and side panels are secured in the trunk, signaling the next stage of the customization. The video closes with a note that this is part of a limited edition run, hinting at upcoming stages in the build and the collaboration with NCIX for the project. Overall, the segment blends practical masking techniques with a behind-the-scenes look at how a small, coordinated team manages a complex hardware modding project from preparation to transport.
