WEBVTT 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 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 00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.080 other one but some people will have $75 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:16.480 shipped in their budget for a case period and they want to know about 00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:19.800 products that cost that amount does it have competitive features how well 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:23.560 constructed is it is it packaged well enough to survive a trip across the 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.080 state or country or whatever by Courier and is it simple to build in but also 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 00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:35.320 the cooler Master N600 kw1 version an 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:41.320 Enthusiast friendly case that can be obtained for as little as 75 bucks 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.320 including shipping after a mail and 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:51.160 rebate the Jazz mini phone and tablet stand from Cooler Master is now 00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:55.440 available in a variety of cool colors from these great retailers click now to 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:59.600 learn more packaging wise I'd prefer to see as much of the budget as possible 00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:03.760 allocated to foam rather than a full color box but in this case the middle- 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:08.400 of the road stuff that they're using here is probably fine even with a system 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:12.159 integrated into it so it's not a huge issue the front of the chassis holds 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:16.920 three 5 and 1/4 in drives and is probably best described as unoffensive 00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:22.759 it won't turn any heads with its practical mostly mesh with a faux brush 00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:27.560 metal stripe front bezel thing but I still think performance minded customers 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:29.960 will be happy because the Dual 120 mm 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.240 fan mounts behind it will have basically unimpeded access to Fresh Air front IO 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:38.640 is pretty comprehensive with reset power front audio USB 2 and USB 3 ports as 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.640 well as an LED switch for the included illuminated front fan then moving on to 00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:48.040 the right hand side we find more Enthusiast friendly intake vents this 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 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:58.640 cooling fan for the drive cages or a dual 120 mm radiator giving this case a 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:03.920 total of three radiator mounts that can be used at the same time while still 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.399 retaining full usability of one SSD mount on the back of the motherboard 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.120 tray and the three 3 and2 in Drive mounts in the Front Bottom but not the 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 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.360 Drive cages the one on the back of the motherboard tray is a bit tricky to 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:24.800 screw in but doesn't put unnecessary strain on the connectors the resizable 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.879 and removable ones in the front are super handy but perhaps a little bit 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.120 unsightly with the extra mounting points just kind of hanging there 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:37.360 but these on the bottom permanent ones are extremely solid better than cases 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 00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:45.640 the toolless plastic Drive sleds some of which arrived bent just from being tied 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.480 together with a rubber band the good news is that they work great if you 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.000 screw them in the rest of the outside of this case is pretty straightforward the 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:57.720 left side panel has a mediumsized window that shows off mostly just the good 00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.159 parts of the hardware but also the SATA cables coming out of the back of your 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:05.560 hard drive although the pragmatic part of me acknowledges that there's a nearby 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.959 Cable Management hole and appreciates the extra radiator Mount that this cable 00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.400 visibility enables the bottom has plastic feed and a removable fan filter 00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:18.720 that covers the power supply intake as well as an optional 120 mm fan Mount the 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 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.360 we've got seven PCI slots a final prepopulated 120 mm fan Mount and an 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:33.000 integrated fan controller with two simple settings low and high it plugs in 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:37.439 Via Molex and handles up to two fans without Splitters nothing special but 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 00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:45.760 isn't a lot of space between the motherboard tray and the side panel so 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:50.760 unless you're going to obsessive compulsively manage your cables you 00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:53.720 might end up doing the old push down and 00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:57.680 slide technique to close up the panel but the good news is that there is a 00:03:55.799 --> 00:04:01.720 little cubby in the bottom left there for stashing extras if you're not using 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 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.000 good job at least Cooler Master provides the right tools speaking of cable 00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:15.760 management the front I/O cables are all black or sleeved and they're all 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.799 adequately or even amusingly long this 00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:22.520 usb3 cable for example looks like it's designed to plug into the system next to 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:27.400 yours rather than inside your own system still I'd rather they're too long than 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.000 Too Short the last note back here is that the CPU cutout is only average size 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:36.000 but we'll work with almost any motherboard and the motherboard tray due 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:41.000 to its anchor points on all sides is surprisingly strong this is a sure sign 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:45.360 that a case designer has done this kind of work before the motherboard tray is 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:48.840 actually quite important back around to the front the windowed side the cable 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.280 management grommets are made of the most unexceptional rubber ever but I was 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:58.080 impressed to see them included at all in a case of this price the extra auxiliary 00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:01.680 PCI slot is a nice touch and I think everything else here I've sort of 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.479 accidentally covered as I made my way through the rest of the case so the 00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:10.560 conclusion for this case actually surprised me there's some stupid obvious 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.479 cost-saving measure stuff like the non-resalable bag for the included 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.479 screws and the fact that not all the motherboard standoffs were pre-installed 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 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:26.919 side panel window an optional feature and the obviously Enthusiast oriented 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:32.120 ventilation holes on the top of the case from the outside the N600 looks like it 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.840 belongs sitting next to Joe and accounting but based on the kind of 00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:39.080 Hardware you can cram inside such a small enclosure albe it at the expensive 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:44.440 some cable management convenience and other Creature Comforts like noise isolating hard drive mounts Joe from 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.639 accounting could just as easily be a hardcore Enthusiast gamer freak I mean 00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:51.600 you could easily pull out the top removable Drive Baye Chuck a pump in a 00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:55.520 Reservoir in that space fill up the radiator spots and with all the filtered 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.919 intakes on this bad boy you could easily tame even a liquid cooled CPU and dual 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 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:09.039 Cooler Master please stop putting glossy plastic on things it's not a good accent 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 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 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:22.000 obviously very Petty complaint I don't think there are many criticisms I can 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:28.000 come up with for this case at full price it's got some pretty stiff competition 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.800 but when it's on promo it's actually 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.680 pretty
