WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.970
you don't really do case reviews anymore because well if we're being honest they

00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:10.830
have really changed much lately other

00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:16.820
than some tempered glass here and some RGB there but that's not the case with

00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:23.660
this one this is the Silverstone mammoth mm oh

00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:30.420
one a spectacularly heavy black monstrosity

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:33.149
whose claim to fame it's been really

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:41.930
difficult to open the box up is being bust proof and splash proof some things

00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:41.930
are about to get wet

00:00:41.989 --> 00:00:48.329
literally we're gonna spray water on a

00:00:45.629 --> 00:00:53.550
system in this case with an extreme edition processor running inside it but

00:00:52.410 --> 00:00:59.640
you know what we're not gonna spray water on Brandon because he deserves better than

00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:05.750
that even if he did bung up the audio settings the first time we shot this

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:15.230
Corsairs obsidian 500d mid-tower gaming

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.310
case features premium tempered glass and aluminum construction removable top fan

00:01:17.390 --> 00:01:24.850
trays and more check it out at the link below this thing actually launched all

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.960
the way back in 2015 completely flying under my radar due to

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:35.000
its unprecedented level of neatness so you

00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:40.640
could think of the mammoth as kind of like the

00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:43.880
off-road edition of what would normally

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:47.620
be a computer case like designed for use

00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:47.620
in rough conditions oh

00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:57.290
you know it's actually not that crazy

00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:59.980
big but it's really heavy oh my gosh

00:01:57.290 --> 00:02:06.080
that's pretty brutal it is kind of got a plane

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

00:02:09.170 --> 00:02:16.550
yeah the exterior is about as plain black box

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

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

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:33.980
little closer the entire top of the case is completely filled right so no IO or

00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:35.690
fan holes whatsoever up here to keep

00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:41.420
water from getting in presumably and check out these so this is cool these

00:02:38.540 --> 00:02:46.220
front louvers are not an aesthetic feature instead they actually serve to

00:02:43.670 --> 00:02:50.270
prevent fluids again from getting to the internal components of the PC and

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

00:02:54.770 --> 00:03:00.070
notch at the bottom check that out to

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

00:03:02.510 --> 00:03:07.970
impressive IP 43 rating meaning it's

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

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:15.739
table next to it but even water sprays

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:19.700
now I wouldn't recommend pressure washing your computer and gaming at the

00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:24.740
same time but if you left a window open with the sprinkler running your computer

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

00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:29.890
it open yeah

00:03:32.260 --> 00:03:38.300
here we find the MMO one second party

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:43.040
trick a full fat 20 millimeter thick HEPA filter now most fan filters are

00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:49.400
pretty good at mitigating dust buildup over the short term but a filter like

00:03:45.170 --> 00:03:52.820
this is SPECT to remove 99.97% of

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:54.610
particles larger than 0.3 microns that's

00:03:52.820 --> 00:03:59.320
smaller than all but the smallest bacteria so I guess you won't have to

00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:02.840
worry about your PC getting the flu obviously compared to a regular filter

00:04:01.550 --> 00:04:07.130
this one's gonna be a little more restrictive right but it looks like

00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:12.710
Silverstone thought of that because they not only have to push air through one

00:04:09.890 --> 00:04:20.359
just like that but also the HEPA filter and the solution these babies to

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.150
massive 180 millimeter air penetrator

00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:26.800
fans at max speed which you can control with these knobs at the front these move

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:32.870
a whopping 340 CFM of air about the same as a

00:04:30.140 --> 00:04:37.240
typical pedestal fan at medium pretty darn impressive then to top it off

00:04:34.940 --> 00:04:44.120
there's actually space to install a rear 120 millimeter fan as well so while Jake

00:04:42.140 --> 00:04:48.650
builds up a high-end system for our tests let's get a little bit of

00:04:46.640 --> 00:05:19.029
preparation done

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:25.430
okay it's done you want to see yeah let's have a look

00:05:23.719 --> 00:05:31.229
alright so there are a few things that stand out

00:05:29.099 --> 00:05:35.219
a lot of cases these days are basically just

00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:38.520
the standard layout with a different

00:05:35.219 --> 00:05:41.099
bezel on the front not so here so first

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

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:50.669
second our power supply actually takes a

00:05:46.830 --> 00:05:55.110
page out of 2006's book and is up on the

00:05:50.669 --> 00:05:57.270
top but still with no ventilation that's

00:05:55.110 --> 00:06:01.620
because the whole top was sealed to keep water from getting in so the power

00:05:59.219 --> 00:06:06.240
supply actually has to suck air from the inside then blow it out the back

00:06:03.750 --> 00:06:11.399
fortunately these fans that we showed you guys at the front should keep it

00:06:08.339 --> 00:06:13.169
well supplied with fresh air all take a

00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:17.819
moment here to show you guys this here CPU heatsink support thing so there's

00:06:16.349 --> 00:06:22.169
actually wonderful at the graphics card and the CPU which if you think about the

00:06:20.159 --> 00:06:27.599
applications in this case on let's say something like a boat makes a ton of

00:06:24.089 --> 00:06:29.370
sense cuz if this pcs are rocking you

00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:35.669
don't want your heatsink going and knocking about on the inside

00:06:33.379 --> 00:06:41.069
because of the design of the filtering system nearly 40% of the space inside

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

00:06:43.289 --> 00:06:50.279
prevent water from entering the system it does limit your cooling options but

00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:56.460
even with the relatively limited space the MMO one can still fit for dual slot

00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:00.990
graphics cards and easily houses up to an SSI EEE be dual socket motherboard if

00:06:59.460 --> 00:07:05.550
you're willing to limit your storage expansion to two three and a half inch

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

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

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

00:07:15.900 --> 00:07:24.690
how much air these fans move through that HEPA filter yeah I mean they are a

00:07:21.390 --> 00:07:27.030
max speed rather than leave it at these

00:07:24.690 --> 00:07:33.030
settings though like this is quite loud I want to go with not minimum but quiet

00:07:31.320 --> 00:07:35.510
enough that it probably wouldn't bother anyone

00:07:35.630 --> 00:07:41.580
that seems pretty good and we're still getting like quite a bit of airflow back

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

00:07:44.910 --> 00:07:51.390
actually GPU is tearing up to 17 80 or

00:07:48.450 --> 00:07:56.760
so at its 82 degree maximum and our CPU has only two cores about sixty degrees

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

00:07:59.850 --> 00:08:07.350
are probably expected are you ready to run it through the gauntlet yeah let's

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

00:08:08.790 --> 00:08:15.540
little busy with another video and I definitely am NOT doing this for the

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:20.910
second time no this has never done this test before oh this looks Turner on get

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

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

00:08:26.790 --> 00:08:33.710
on there here nice and not nice I guess I don't know I

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

00:08:37.650 --> 00:08:43.590
left all right so there's actually quite a

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

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

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

00:08:55.230 --> 00:09:00.870
leakage all right

00:08:59.290 --> 00:09:06.640
so that is a little more dust than was in

00:09:04.540 --> 00:09:11.320
there before so I don't think this system is perfect but it actually held

00:09:08.890 --> 00:09:14.860
up pretty good regular computer dust is not gonna be an issue for this thing

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

00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:23.700
how the filters doing oh no that's gross

00:09:21.820 --> 00:09:29.940
oh so the attacked side is pretty

00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:33.070
disgusting but when we flip it over

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:34.900
pretty damn clean so it looks like a

00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:38.470
little bit of dust got in but I imagine it's probably just from the cracks

00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:44.170
around I don't think dust that big would get through a filter like this

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:46.500
and then on this side pretty dirty here

00:09:44.170 --> 00:09:50.550
as well alright let's get to the water oh

00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:59.700
my god you think I should spray with a hose - I

00:09:57.970 --> 00:10:04.120
think we should spray it with those alright I

00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:06.630
should probably turn it on before we spray it with the hose

00:10:08.910 --> 00:10:12.420
is it on Oh

00:10:15.950 --> 00:10:23.120
I really hope this survives my test bench actually

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:29.260
it would be really inconvenient if this died

00:10:24.790 --> 00:10:29.260
I'd be kind of upset to be honest

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

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:44.300
Wow completely dry inside sure there's a

00:10:41.630 --> 00:10:49.340
little water around the edges but inside the computer there's no moisture I think

00:10:47.270 --> 00:10:55.360
we should probably test this before I bring Linus over you know just in case

00:10:51.020 --> 00:10:55.360
it doesn't work display for

00:10:56.260 --> 00:11:01.750
this monitor even plugged in oh my gosh

00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:07.000
oh yeah it works okay let's let's get Linus

00:11:05.450 --> 00:11:12.770
and show them the carnage so to be honest I already opened it

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

00:11:16.310 --> 00:11:18.910
down good

00:11:19.930 --> 00:11:27.980
this side is a little beat-up yeah I see

00:11:23.450 --> 00:11:30.080
that Wow but it caught it yeah so yeah

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

00:11:32.210 --> 00:11:37.550
chunks did make it through but I mean

00:11:35.470 --> 00:11:44.000
compared to what you'd see in a normal case

00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:45.530
that is really impressive I think my

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

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:55.340
obviously a torture test but you can see even where the water did manage to

00:11:52.190 --> 00:11:57.610
penetrate the design doesn't allow it to

00:11:55.340 --> 00:12:02.110
go any further than this yeah there's a little splash shield here

00:11:59.930 --> 00:12:07.900
too oh so

00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:11.160
it doesn't have the greatest cooling characteristics out of any case we've

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:19.180
ever tried but it's utterly unique in its dust and

00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:20.730
water resistant design making it at what

00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:26.880
is it three hundred bucks basically a no-brainer if you need a

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:28.570
dust and water resistant PC case
