1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,080
soen Le's response to me when they got my request for a sample of this case was

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,280
wow that's the fastest I've ever gotten a response after sending out a product

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:16,800
announcement PR email I was on it like that and why was I so excited well

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,199
because I thought the PC q19 looked like

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:24,720
the closest thing that we've ever gotten to a console killer case that has you

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:29,119
know a very similar form factor to an xgen console actually about the same

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:35,600
width and depth as an Xbox One although it is quite a bit Coller and these great

8
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:37,399
modern living room friendly looks with

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,200
this gorgeous brushed aluminum finish speaking of gorgeous aluminum finishes

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,280
by the way we have a video coming on the MSI gs70 stealth 17-inch gaming laptop

11
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:52,960
beautiful aluminum finish anyway make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that but back to this guy did it meet my

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:56,160
expectations well I guess you'll have to find out after you watch the

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:06,119
intro The Cooler Master nepton 240m features

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,560
an exclusive pump design and their new silencio fans to provide impressive near

15
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:16,280
silent performance click now to learn more so the PC q19 is the first case in

16
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:20,759
a while that I haven't actually been able to figure out how to open just by

17
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,840
looking at it I mean it's beautiful it's completely clean looking without a

18
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,920
single screw accessible from the front top bottom and right and left sides it

19
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,840
includes this fantastic aluminum stand that

20
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,360
complements it perfectly and is of such high quality that I would feel

21
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,880
legitimately bad about using the included rubber feet to lay it flat and

22
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:47,880
then hide it in my TV console this case demands to be shown off upon Consulting

23
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,000
the manual which comes in lots of languages but isn't particularly clearly

24
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,680
written and even contains some errors like instructing you to unscrew the PCI

25
00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:00,000
Express Riser that actually ends up coming in a baggie not screwed in I

26
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:04,280
discovered that you just pop the side panels off they use a similar mechanism

27
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:10,119
to the bit Phoenix Pandora and I was ready with my red marker to take off

28
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:13,280
points for this because with the Pandora we actually had problems keeping the

29
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,160
side panel on until I tried to take these ones off

30
00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:22,400
and realized we are dealing with a whole different grade of push pins here so

31
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:26,120
full marks for these side panels Le and Lee I mean let me tell you those sockets

32
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,040
you wouldn't want to put your penis in there you'd never get it back inside the

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,519
case it's classic and Le everything is made of the usual wonderfully finished

34
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:40,000
aluminum that keeps the case lightweight and classy looking keeps your fingers

35
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:44,840
and cable safe from cuts and enables some incredibly creative designs without

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:49,720
the sales volume requirements that cases with plastic chassis components require

37
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,480
motherboard and power supply mounting was pretty simple at first remove both

38
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,920
panels and all the removable bits the power supply takes an air directly from

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,760
the side and exhaust it out the back I used a 600 watt Silverstone sfx modular

40
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:09,000
power supply and the motherboard sits on a nice rigid you know support structure

41
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,680
thing that gives really easy access to the back of the board for easy cooler

42
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:19,760
installation and then I hit a potential snag and a real one first I noticed that

43
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:25,000
the ATX connector doesn't fit through the hole into the bottom compartment if

44
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:30,040
it's a full 24 pin design without the four detachable pins but mine has four

45
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Breakaway pins so that was okay and and then I realized that not one combination

46
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:41,360
of the Mini ITX boards and sfx power supplies that I own would allow the 24

47
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:46,120
pin connector to reach the plug so I had to use a 24 pin extension fortunately I

48
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,560
had one lying around and there's a fair bit of room in the front of the case to

49
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,360
store the now extra length that I had to deal with I actually had the opposite

50
00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:59,200
problem as well with the front usb3 header so the cable wasn't long enough

51
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:02,799
to Route around my CPU Cooler and it had to sit over top but that was that was a

52
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,400
minor issue and everything else here was fine Drive mounting is solid with anti

53
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:12,879
vibrational mounts in the 3 2 and 1/2 in locations and one 3 and 1/2 in location

54
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:18,799
and cable management was mostly easy with the only potential snafu being the

55
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:23,000
spacing of the two stacked 2 and 1/2 in drives you may need an adapter if your

56
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,639
power supply has left or right angle SATA connectors also of note while you

57
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:30,000
guys are watching the b-roll is that one of the drives is in the correct location

58
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,120
but not actually screwed in don't don't mind that it does screw in there if

59
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:38,400
you're not lazy I just threw that in after I was done building now I was very

60
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000
pleased to see these sick magnetic fan filters over the motherboard and plower

61
00:04:40,039 --> 00:04:47,759
Supply areas plower Supply filtered intakes are a very very good thing but I

62
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:53,680
was pretty disappointed to see how poorly planned the case's airflow

63
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,720
strategy was in general the 120 mm fan

64
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,960
behind the top filter needed to be turned around to keep the case's

65
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,479
internal pressure positive so that you're forcing dust out of the little

66
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,800
gaps in the case rather than into them drawing in dust check out this video to

67
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,440
learn more about this concept and the graphics card mounting while it's super

68
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,800
sweet with this PCIe Riser card and compatibility with up to 24 cm graphics

69
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:24,080
cards plenty of room for Gigabyte's new ITX GTX 970 by the way it's just kind of

70
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:28,800
like the cable cutout only being suitable for low-end 20 pin ATX

71
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:32,280
connectors I mean it's it's in there rather than feeling like it's an

72
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,000
important part of the case design and that like lean Lee actually expects

73
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:41,240
anyone to put a high-end card in the case any dual slot cooler design is

74
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,800
obviously going to starve for Fresh Air with a blower Style putting the fan

75
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,800
right up against a non-perforated side panel and an open design simply

76
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:56,479
scattering hot air around at the CPU in the nearby hard drive which leads into

77
00:05:54,319 --> 00:06:00,400
both my conclusion about this case and I guess a bit of a rant it's a beautiful

78
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,800
case I can never fault lean Le craftsmanship but unfortunately it's

79
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,120
more geared towards light and middleweight media PC use and it's not

80
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:16,039
what I wanted as someone who wants to see a proper console killer case

81
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,440
truthfully even though I like the case that's making it really hard for me to

82
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:25,240
give it a positive conclusion here because it just feels like such a missed

83
00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:28,280
opportunity given that even the lowly

84
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,680
7850 that I have in there runs at 81° on

85
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:34,919
the CPU at 80 7% fan speed and we're

86
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,960
talking about 110 TDP card here 110 watt

87
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:42,120
excuse me and the thing that makes me most upset about all of this is that the

88
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:48,000
case that I wanted this to be should already exist or be due for release very

89
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:49,599
soon 10 months ago I met with Nathan

90
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,919
from Cooler Master and I'm calling you out buddy and gave him my idea for how

91
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:58,400
we could take actually a very similar design to this one obviously before this

92
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:03,160
came out uh so it was Innovative at the time but with the mother on top No 3 and

93
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,800
1/2 in Drive mounting point so you'll rely on ssds or 2 and 1/2 in hard drives

94
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:13,400
the graphics card on a flexible PCIe extension on the bottom so the intake

95
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:18,160
would be on the same side as the CPU intake and an external brick style power

96
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:22,199
supply setup maybe with dual bricks or something like that I've seen this done

97
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:27,080
before now as well you know ASUS with their latest Rog thing G20 or something

98
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:32,720
like that and then so the idea was that we'd be able to get a full custom ad

99
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,560
adequately cooled ITX gaming PC into a

100
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:39,919
form factor about the size of the PS4 but they've been sitting on their asses

101
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:45,159
for almost a year now with this idea so I'm putting the idea out in public now

102
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,879
guys let me and Cooler Master know in the comments if you want to see

103
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:52,319
something like that because if it turned out well that is the kind of thing that

104
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:58,360
I would love to do like a sick Linus edition case of or something like that

105
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,800
anyway good case not what I expected

106
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,120
thank you guys for watching like video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment letting me
