1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,970
you don't really do case reviews anymore because well if we're being honest they

2
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:10,830
have really changed much lately other

3
00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:16,820
than some tempered glass here and some RGB there but that's not the case with

4
00:00:15,450 --> 00:00:23,660
this one this is the Silverstone mammoth mm oh

5
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:30,420
one a spectacularly heavy black monstrosity

6
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:33,149
whose claim to fame it's been really

7
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:41,930
difficult to open the box up is being bust proof and splash proof some things

8
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:41,930
are about to get wet

9
00:00:41,989 --> 00:00:48,329
literally we're gonna spray water on a

10
00:00:45,629 --> 00:00:53,550
system in this case with an extreme edition processor running inside it but

11
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:59,640
you know what we're not gonna spray water on Brandon because he deserves better than

12
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:05,750
that even if he did bung up the audio settings the first time we shot this

13
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,230
Corsairs obsidian 500d mid-tower gaming

14
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,310
case features premium tempered glass and aluminum construction removable top fan

15
00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:24,850
trays and more check it out at the link below this thing actually launched all

16
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:28,960
the way back in 2015 completely flying under my radar due to

17
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:35,000
its unprecedented level of neatness so you

18
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:40,640
could think of the mammoth as kind of like the

19
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:43,880
off-road edition of what would normally

20
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,620
be a computer case like designed for use

21
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,620
in rough conditions oh

22
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:57,290
you know it's actually not that crazy

23
00:01:52,790 --> 00:01:59,980
big but it's really heavy oh my gosh

24
00:01:57,290 --> 00:02:06,080
that's pretty brutal it is kind of got a plane

25
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:10,810
sort of look to it there's no tempered glass that's pretty nice that's magnetic

26
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:16,550
yeah the exterior is about as plain black box

27
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:20,810
as you can get it sports a brushed steel finish but in the age of tempered glass

28
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:25,610
Windows you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a little boring but if you look a

29
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:33,980
little closer the entire top of the case is completely filled right so no IO or

30
00:02:30,110 --> 00:02:35,690
fan holes whatsoever up here to keep

31
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:41,420
water from getting in presumably and check out these so this is cool these

32
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:46,220
front louvers are not an aesthetic feature instead they actually serve to

33
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:50,270
prevent fluids again from getting to the internal components of the PC and

34
00:02:48,140 --> 00:02:58,040
flipping it around to the back you can see it has the same louvers here with a

35
00:02:54,770 --> 00:03:00,070
notch at the bottom check that out to

36
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:05,720
allow you to get cables to the rear i/o the design of the mammoth gives it an

37
00:03:02,510 --> 00:03:07,970
impressive IP 43 rating meaning it's

38
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:13,400
safe from not just drips like if you were to spill a cup of water onto the

39
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,739
table next to it but even water sprays

40
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:19,700
now I wouldn't recommend pressure washing your computer and gaming at the

41
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:24,740
same time but if you left a window open with the sprinkler running your computer

42
00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:29,890
should be okay it's just the rest of the room I'd be concerned about let's crack

43
00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:29,890
it open yeah

44
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:38,300
here we find the MMO one second party

45
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:43,040
trick a full fat 20 millimeter thick HEPA filter now most fan filters are

46
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:49,400
pretty good at mitigating dust buildup over the short term but a filter like

47
00:03:45,170 --> 00:03:52,820
this is SPECT to remove 99.97% of

48
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,610
particles larger than 0.3 microns that's

49
00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:59,320
smaller than all but the smallest bacteria so I guess you won't have to

50
00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:02,840
worry about your PC getting the flu obviously compared to a regular filter

51
00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:07,130
this one's gonna be a little more restrictive right but it looks like

52
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:12,710
Silverstone thought of that because they not only have to push air through one

53
00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:20,359
just like that but also the HEPA filter and the solution these babies to

54
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:23,150
massive 180 millimeter air penetrator

55
00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:26,800
fans at max speed which you can control with these knobs at the front these move

56
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:32,870
a whopping 340 CFM of air about the same as a

57
00:04:30,140 --> 00:04:37,240
typical pedestal fan at medium pretty darn impressive then to top it off

58
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:44,120
there's actually space to install a rear 120 millimeter fan as well so while Jake

59
00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:48,650
builds up a high-end system for our tests let's get a little bit of

60
00:04:46,640 --> 00:05:19,029
preparation done

61
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:25,430
okay it's done you want to see yeah let's have a look

62
00:05:23,719 --> 00:05:31,229
alright so there are a few things that stand out

63
00:05:29,099 --> 00:05:35,219
a lot of cases these days are basically just

64
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:38,520
the standard layout with a different

65
00:05:35,219 --> 00:05:41,099
bezel on the front not so here so first

66
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:46,830
of all the layout is inverted so the CPU is on the bottom and the GPU is on top

67
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:50,669
second our power supply actually takes a

68
00:05:46,830 --> 00:05:55,110
page out of 2006's book and is up on the

69
00:05:50,669 --> 00:05:57,270
top but still with no ventilation that's

70
00:05:55,110 --> 00:06:01,620
because the whole top was sealed to keep water from getting in so the power

71
00:05:59,219 --> 00:06:06,240
supply actually has to suck air from the inside then blow it out the back

72
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:11,399
fortunately these fans that we showed you guys at the front should keep it

73
00:06:08,339 --> 00:06:13,169
well supplied with fresh air all take a

74
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:17,819
moment here to show you guys this here CPU heatsink support thing so there's

75
00:06:16,349 --> 00:06:22,169
actually wonderful at the graphics card and the CPU which if you think about the

76
00:06:20,159 --> 00:06:27,599
applications in this case on let's say something like a boat makes a ton of

77
00:06:24,089 --> 00:06:29,370
sense cuz if this pcs are rocking you

78
00:06:27,599 --> 00:06:35,669
don't want your heatsink going and knocking about on the inside

79
00:06:33,379 --> 00:06:41,069
because of the design of the filtering system nearly 40% of the space inside

80
00:06:38,789 --> 00:06:45,180
the case is taken up by the filter in the front and the buffer in the rear to

81
00:06:43,289 --> 00:06:50,279
prevent water from entering the system it does limit your cooling options but

82
00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:56,460
even with the relatively limited space the MMO one can still fit for dual slot

83
00:06:53,639 --> 00:07:00,990
graphics cards and easily houses up to an SSI EEE be dual socket motherboard if

84
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:05,550
you're willing to limit your storage expansion to two three and a half inch

85
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:10,380
drives so this is all good in theory but we want see what kind of thermals we

86
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,740
might expect with a high-end system in this case so you want to throw the panel

87
00:07:11,820 --> 00:07:18,600
on there and I'll get a stress test fire it up here it's actually kind of amazing

88
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:24,690
how much air these fans move through that HEPA filter yeah I mean they are a

89
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:27,030
max speed rather than leave it at these

90
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:33,030
settings though like this is quite loud I want to go with not minimum but quiet

91
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,510
enough that it probably wouldn't bother anyone

92
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:41,580
that seems pretty good and we're still getting like quite a bit of airflow back

93
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:48,450
here let's give it some time to heat up yeah okay so these are not bad results

94
00:07:44,910 --> 00:07:51,390
actually GPU is tearing up to 17 80 or

95
00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:56,760
so at its 82 degree maximum and our CPU has only two cores about sixty degrees

96
00:07:54,570 --> 00:08:02,070
three not too shabby yeah I mean there's an NHD 15 in there so CPU temperatures

97
00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:07,350
are probably expected are you ready to run it through the gauntlet yeah let's

98
00:08:04,890 --> 00:08:11,070
do it all right so we're here we're gonna do the gauntlet lioness is a

99
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:15,540
little busy with another video and I definitely am NOT doing this for the

100
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:20,910
second time no this has never done this test before oh this looks Turner on get

101
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:24,510
these fans to chin so there might be a little bit of dust in there but I kind

102
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:29,030
of have an idea of how much was in there beforehand just like throw a little dust

103
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:33,710
on there here nice and not nice I guess I don't know I

104
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,020
really hope we don't have to do this again because I do not have any dust

105
00:08:37,650 --> 00:08:43,590
left all right so there's actually quite a

106
00:08:42,210 --> 00:08:47,850
bit of dust up here I'm not really sure how that got in there okay so let's

107
00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:52,440
let's turn it off this time and see what's going on inside I think for the

108
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,110
most part it's gonna be pretty decent but I imagine there's going to be some

109
00:08:55,230 --> 00:09:00,870
leakage all right

110
00:08:59,290 --> 00:09:06,640
so that is a little more dust than was in

111
00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:11,320
there before so I don't think this system is perfect but it actually held

112
00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:14,860
up pretty good regular computer dust is not gonna be an issue for this thing

113
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:21,820
maybe don't throw sawdust at it or use it in your woodshop okay so let's see

114
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:23,700
how the filters doing oh no that's gross

115
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:29,940
oh so the attacked side is pretty

116
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:33,070
disgusting but when we flip it over

117
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:34,900
pretty damn clean so it looks like a

118
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:38,470
little bit of dust got in but I imagine it's probably just from the cracks

119
00:09:36,250 --> 00:09:44,170
around I don't think dust that big would get through a filter like this

120
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,500
and then on this side pretty dirty here

121
00:09:44,170 --> 00:09:50,550
as well alright let's get to the water oh

122
00:09:53,730 --> 00:09:59,700
my god you think I should spray with a hose - I

123
00:09:57,970 --> 00:10:04,120
think we should spray it with those alright I

124
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,630
should probably turn it on before we spray it with the hose

125
00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:12,420
is it on Oh

126
00:10:15,950 --> 00:10:23,120
I really hope this survives my test bench actually

127
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:29,260
it would be really inconvenient if this died

128
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:29,260
I'd be kind of upset to be honest

129
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:36,700
there's a little water in there but for the most part it looks like it's dry Wow

130
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:44,300
Wow completely dry inside sure there's a

131
00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:49,340
little water around the edges but inside the computer there's no moisture I think

132
00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:55,360
we should probably test this before I bring Linus over you know just in case

133
00:10:51,020 --> 00:10:55,360
it doesn't work display for

134
00:10:56,260 --> 00:11:01,750
this monitor even plugged in oh my gosh

135
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:07,000
oh yeah it works okay let's let's get Linus

136
00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:12,770
and show them the carnage so to be honest I already opened it

137
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:18,910
there is a little bit of dust in there no water no water I sprayed this thing

138
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:18,910
down good

139
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:27,980
this side is a little beat-up yeah I see

140
00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:30,080
that Wow but it caught it yeah so yeah

141
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:35,470
there's a little bit of dust on the panel there and you can see some of the

142
00:11:32,210 --> 00:11:37,550
chunks did make it through but I mean

143
00:11:35,470 --> 00:11:44,000
compared to what you'd see in a normal case

144
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:45,530
that is really impressive I think my

145
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,700
dust abuse is a little out of the ordinary as well yeah no I mean this is

146
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:55,340
obviously a torture test but you can see even where the water did manage to

147
00:11:52,190 --> 00:11:57,610
penetrate the design doesn't allow it to

148
00:11:55,340 --> 00:12:02,110
go any further than this yeah there's a little splash shield here

149
00:11:59,930 --> 00:12:07,900
too oh so

150
00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:11,160
it doesn't have the greatest cooling characteristics out of any case we've

151
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:19,180
ever tried but it's utterly unique in its dust and

152
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,730
water resistant design making it at what

153
00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:26,880
is it three hundred bucks basically a no-brainer if you need a

154
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,570
dust and water resistant PC case
