378 379
380t you even case
bro with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knck you could
instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate
system click now to learn more the 388 comes in a great soft packing foam but I
do find it a little bit funny that the box for the case that has a handle has
no handles on it not that it's even really that important because overall
it's pretty light I just kind of thought that was funny starting at the top we
have the handle itself which at first glance looks fantastic but upon further
inspection I was a little bit put off by the fact that I can't properly grip it
due to my large hands and in this case specifically large Knuckles to be fair
there are ways that I can carry it but grasping the Handle by my fingertips or
having my hand go in at an angle is not really ideal when I try to grip it
properly my knuckle ends up digging into the plastic housing and it's kind of
Highly uncomfortable especially when you get some of the weight of a completely
built system on the inside it's kind of a lot that being said I had lonus try it
and he loved it the sizing was perfect for his tiny little hands resulting in
no issues on that front because of this I'll will have lonus do the ogre test
this time around as I'm a little bit worried about my ogre test resulting in
either the case smashing into the ground or a bruis knuckle for me also on the
top we have the I/O panel you'll find power reset and fan control buttons
alongside dual USB 3.0 ports and dual audio jacks due to the positioning and
style of the start button I was actually reminded of a push to start button for a
car which when looking at industrial design at least in my opinion that's a
big compliment proceeding onwards we have the actual front of the unit which
hoses a massive fan Grill and filter which is very easily removed and it will
reveal a 140 mm fan if you desire you
can swap this 140 mm fan out for either
dual 120 mm fans or a 200 mm fan which
will provide a great deal of air flow to the unit both the side panels are
identical and interchangeable Gullwing
if it was kind of flipped upside Downes doors which in my opinion are super
freaking cool these doors similar to the front of the case are essentially just
giant Fang girls with filters and yet again it will afford your case a great
deal of air flow another thing to note is that these grills are all a honeycomb
cut so those of you that wanted this case because when you get it in yellow
it roughly resembles a bee there's something else for you as well just
above the fan girls we see both the handles for the doors and their little
tiny Windows which I at first thought were kind of useless and if you install
a 240 mm radiator when you have the chance on the right side window it will
pretty much just see the radiator and the radiator's fans but the left side
window will give you a nice view of your graphics card and it will reveal a
little bit of your motherboard as well so that will be quite nice actually once
we get to the back there isn't really a ton going on except for the placement of a 120 mm fan so we're just going to move
on to the bottom upon arrival we are agreed to buy dual case feet which
unlike the bit Phoenix Prodigy case feet are actually quite strong and secure
even when the case is filled and has some weight in it another thing you'll
notice is the removable fan filter for your power supply which goes very flush
against the case to the point where I didn't even notice until I flipped the
case over a nice touch before we proceed inside it must call to attention
something great there been a trend I've been seeing lately which I hope is here
to stay this trend is to have a great deal of your case panels removable
allowing a modder to strip down the case most of the way by using screws instead
of removing rivets the Corsair 380t did not shy away from this trend instead it
decided to Champion for it you can fairly easily strip down the entire case
to its small bare metal housing and in some cases removing the panels even
reveal some extra features for instance if you remove the top which is
essentially just the handle you're greeted with some cable management
options for the front IO cable not something I expect a ton of people
to notice or even find but it's pretty freaking cool that they even included it
finally we go inside in the bottom you'll find a dual 2 and 1/2 in Drive
cage which uses a squeeze Mount system to keep everything in place due to how
Loosely the system holds the drives in place I wouldn't feel all that comfortable installing a 2 and 1/2 in
hard drive in there but an SSD which is
what I expect to be installed in there by most people will be totally fine
behind that cage you find the mounting area for the power supply installed the
year I have an elegantly named Silverstone st85 f- GS my reasoning for
this is because it is the world's smallest fully modular ATX power supply
and it fits perfectly but wasn't my first choice My First Choice was the
rm850 from Corsair I mean it makes sense
it's yellow unfortunately though it's too long Corsair does have a solution
allowing you to remove the dual 3 and 1 halfin hard drive cage which by the way
is easy to install drives into due to its bendable tray system but I wanted to
install dri here so that wasn't exactly an option for me I would have liked to
see Corsair have a solution for moving the hard drive cage elsewhere instead of
removing it completely or maybe having a single hard drive cage in the same style
as their 2 and 1/2 in cage but on the other side this wouldn't have been easy
and would have possibly required expanding the frame of the case but at
least I could install their own color matching power supply and have at least
one hard drive installed at the same time in the top section we have the
horizontally mounted ITX motherboard placement along with a cable management
area which could also be used for placement of your Reservoir and or pump
if you're looking to get into custom water cooling this area is also
outfitted with cable management Loops which I suggest using for stuff like
your mostly nicely sleeved header cables and especially for their far too
freakishly long USB 3.0 header cable
which at least you can be sure won't be too short in the top of the case you'll
find a nice onoff switch that can be used to control your LED which looks
down onto the middle of your motherboard and I'm happy you're able to control
this led although I wish the switch was on the outside of the case last but not
least there's the radiator mounting which is surprisingly easy to utilize
due to the hook on style which is secured in place by four screws you're
able to easily remove the radiator while it is still attached to the rails
allowing you to move the radiator away while it is still actually installed
making this case which at first glance seemed very cramped actually quite open
and easy to work on in conclusion I'm actually quite happy about the 3 8 due
to its handle and small overall size it will be a great land rig and the doors
are freaking badass if you decide to get this case I will be ready to open and
close those doors a lot because if you ever bring this thing Landing everyone's
going to want to see how they work its feed are very solid and overall once
everything is installed the case is quite rigid giving me confidence that it
will be okay even if I haul it with me around to events which I will be doing
at least once I'm going to be taking this rig with me to PA Prime as
unfortunately I'm still waiting on some parts for my personal rig
speaking of Champions I am the champion of Intel's game on contest well I'm not
really but you could be if you're at P Prime on the show floor and wearing one
of their game on buttons they have a few teams running around the show floor
handing out prizes to people who are wearing the buttons so pay attention to
at Intel USA for hints on where those teams will be so you can get your prizes
now game on has been pretty successful in the past I know firsthand but it has
always lacked a component for everyone who isn't attending PAX Prime Intel is
going to be running a create your own button contest through Twitter and they
will be giving away I can't really say
right now but trust me it's going to be awesome and you are going to want one
more info on that fairly soon we want you guys to be creative use the Intel
game on button this one right here to craft your own version however you want
maybe design one on your computer maybe have an arts and crafts day like we did
or even I don't know bake a cupcake it's up to you so get creative and submit
your designs to @ Intel USA on Twitter using # Intel game on until August 29th
also check out I Justine's button creation and let Intel know if she wore
it better than me on Twitter I think you know the real answer to that unless you
are a peasant among Warriors so that was weird anyways if
