1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,200
when I'm looking at a value product it's easy to find things to criticize and

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,160
it's easy to say no way man it's totally worth the extra 20 bucks to get that

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,080
other one but some people will have $75

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,480
shipped in their budget for a case period and they want to know about

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,800
products that cost that amount does it have competitive features how well

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,560
constructed is it is it packaged well enough to survive a trip across the

7
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,080
state or country or whatever by Courier and is it simple to build in but also

8
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:33,079
with room to expand so it's with those things in mind that I'll be reviewing

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,320
the cooler Master N600 kw1 version an

10
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:41,320
Enthusiast friendly case that can be obtained for as little as 75 bucks

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,320
including shipping after a mail and

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,160
rebate the Jazz mini phone and tablet stand from Cooler Master is now

13
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:55,440
available in a variety of cool colors from these great retailers click now to

14
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:59,600
learn more packaging wise I'd prefer to see as much of the budget as possible

15
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:03,760
allocated to foam rather than a full color box but in this case the middle-

16
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:08,400
of the road stuff that they're using here is probably fine even with a system

17
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:12,159
integrated into it so it's not a huge issue the front of the chassis holds

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,920
three 5 and 1/4 in drives and is probably best described as unoffensive

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:22,759
it won't turn any heads with its practical mostly mesh with a faux brush

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:27,560
metal stripe front bezel thing but I still think performance minded customers

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,960
will be happy because the Dual 120 mm

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,240
fan mounts behind it will have basically unimpeded access to Fresh Air front IO

23
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:38,640
is pretty comprehensive with reset power front audio USB 2 and USB 3 ports as

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,640
well as an LED switch for the included illuminated front fan then moving on to

25
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:48,040
the right hand side we find more Enthusiast friendly intake vents this

26
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:53,000
one has a 120 mm bracket behind it that can actually be used to mount a single

27
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:58,640
cooling fan for the drive cages or a dual 120 mm radiator giving this case a

28
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:03,920
total of three radiator mounts that can be used at the same time while still

29
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,399
retaining full usability of one SSD mount on the back of the motherboard

30
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:12,120
tray and the three 3 and2 in Drive mounts in the Front Bottom but not the

31
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,959
adaptable 2 and 1/2 or 3 and 1/2 in Drive Bays above those ones speaking of

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,360
Drive cages the one on the back of the motherboard tray is a bit tricky to

33
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:24,800
screw in but doesn't put unnecessary strain on the connectors the resizable

34
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,879
and removable ones in the front are super handy but perhaps a little bit

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,120
unsightly with the extra mounting points just kind of hanging there

36
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,360
but these on the bottom permanent ones are extremely solid better than cases

37
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:41,800
I've seen that cost twice as much it's just too bad I can't say the same about

38
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,640
the toolless plastic Drive sleds some of which arrived bent just from being tied

39
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,480
together with a rubber band the good news is that they work great if you

40
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:53,000
screw them in the rest of the outside of this case is pretty straightforward the

41
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,720
left side panel has a mediumsized window that shows off mostly just the good

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,159
parts of the hardware but also the SATA cables coming out of the back of your

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,560
hard drive although the pragmatic part of me acknowledges that there's a nearby

44
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:09,959
Cable Management hole and appreciates the extra radiator Mount that this cable

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:13,400
visibility enables the bottom has plastic feed and a removable fan filter

46
00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:18,720
that covers the power supply intake as well as an optional 120 mm fan Mount the

47
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,720
top has a filter for its dual 120 or 140 mm fan mounts and finally at the back

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,360
we've got seven PCI slots a final prepopulated 120 mm fan Mount and an

49
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:33,000
integrated fan controller with two simple settings low and high it plugs in

50
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,439
Via Molex and handles up to two fans without Splitters nothing special but

51
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,360
still a nice to have around the back let's see what else we've got there

52
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,760
isn't a lot of space between the motherboard tray and the side panel so

53
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:50,760
unless you're going to obsessive compulsively manage your cables you

54
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,720
might end up doing the old push down and

55
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,680
slide technique to close up the panel but the good news is that there is a

56
00:03:55,799 --> 00:04:01,720
little cubby in the bottom left there for stashing extras if you're not using

57
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:06,280
a rad there and there are lots of zip tie Loops so if you really want to do a

58
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,000
good job at least Cooler Master provides the right tools speaking of cable

59
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:15,760
management the front I/O cables are all black or sleeved and they're all

60
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:17,799
adequately or even amusingly long this

61
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,520
usb3 cable for example looks like it's designed to plug into the system next to

62
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:27,400
yours rather than inside your own system still I'd rather they're too long than

63
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,000
Too Short the last note back here is that the CPU cutout is only average size

64
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,000
but we'll work with almost any motherboard and the motherboard tray due

65
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:41,000
to its anchor points on all sides is surprisingly strong this is a sure sign

66
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,360
that a case designer has done this kind of work before the motherboard tray is

67
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,840
actually quite important back around to the front the windowed side the cable

68
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:53,280
management grommets are made of the most unexceptional rubber ever but I was

69
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,080
impressed to see them included at all in a case of this price the extra auxiliary

70
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,680
PCI slot is a nice touch and I think everything else here I've sort of

71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,479
accidentally covered as I made my way through the rest of the case so the

72
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:10,560
conclusion for this case actually surprised me there's some stupid obvious

73
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,479
cost-saving measure stuff like the non-resalable bag for the included

74
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:18,479
screws and the fact that not all the motherboard standoffs were pre-installed

75
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,680
but all in all it's actually a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing aside from the

76
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,919
side panel window an optional feature and the obviously Enthusiast oriented

77
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:32,120
ventilation holes on the top of the case from the outside the N600 looks like it

78
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,840
belongs sitting next to Joe and accounting but based on the kind of

79
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,080
Hardware you can cram inside such a small enclosure albe it at the expensive

80
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:44,440
some cable management convenience and other Creature Comforts like noise isolating hard drive mounts Joe from

81
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:48,639
accounting could just as easily be a hardcore Enthusiast gamer freak I mean

82
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:51,600
you could easily pull out the top removable Drive Baye Chuck a pump in a

83
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:55,520
Reservoir in that space fill up the radiator spots and with all the filtered

84
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,919
intakes on this bad boy you could easily tame even a liquid cooled CPU and dual

85
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:04,120
high-end graphics card setup in here so the only thing left to say then is this

86
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:09,039
Cooler Master please stop putting glossy plastic on things it's not a good accent

87
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:13,479
strategy sure it looks nice in photos and for 3 seconds when I take it out of

88
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:17,880
the box but other than that it sucks but the good news is that other than that

89
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,000
obviously very Petty complaint I don't think there are many criticisms I can

90
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:28,000
come up with for this case at full price it's got some pretty stiff competition

91
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,800
but when it's on promo it's actually

92
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,680
