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

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:11.280
wow that's the fastest I've ever gotten a response after sending out a product

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:16.800
announcement PR email I was on it like that and why was I so excited well

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.199
because I thought the PC q19 looked like

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.720
the closest thing that we've ever gotten to a console killer case that has you

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:29.119
know a very similar form factor to an xgen console actually about the same

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

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:37.399
modern living room friendly looks with

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.200
this gorgeous brushed aluminum finish speaking of gorgeous aluminum finishes

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

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

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:56.160
expectations well I guess you'll have to find out after you watch the

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:06.119
intro The Cooler Master nepton 240m features

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.560
an exclusive pump design and their new silencio fans to provide impressive near

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:16.280
silent performance click now to learn more so the PC q19 is the first case in

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

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.840
looking at it I mean it's beautiful it's completely clean looking without a

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.920
single screw accessible from the front top bottom and right and left sides it

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.840
includes this fantastic aluminum stand that

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:37.360
complements it perfectly and is of such high quality that I would feel

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.880
legitimately bad about using the included rubber feet to lay it flat and

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:47.880
then hide it in my TV console this case demands to be shown off upon Consulting

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.000
the manual which comes in lots of languages but isn't particularly clearly

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.680
written and even contains some errors like instructing you to unscrew the PCI

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:00.000
Express Riser that actually ends up coming in a baggie not screwed in I

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:04.280
discovered that you just pop the side panels off they use a similar mechanism

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:10.119
to the bit Phoenix Pandora and I was ready with my red marker to take off

00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:13.280
points for this because with the Pandora we actually had problems keeping the

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.160
side panel on until I tried to take these ones off

00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:22.400
and realized we are dealing with a whole different grade of push pins here so

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

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

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:35.519
case it's classic and Le everything is made of the usual wonderfully finished

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:40.000
aluminum that keeps the case lightweight and classy looking keeps your fingers

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:44.840
and cable safe from cuts and enables some incredibly creative designs without

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.720
the sales volume requirements that cases with plastic chassis components require

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:55.480
motherboard and power supply mounting was pretty simple at first remove both

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:58.920
panels and all the removable bits the power supply takes an air directly from

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.760
the side and exhaust it out the back I used a 600 watt Silverstone sfx modular

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:09.000
power supply and the motherboard sits on a nice rigid you know support structure

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.680
thing that gives really easy access to the back of the board for easy cooler

00:03:10.799 --> 00:03:19.760
installation and then I hit a potential snag and a real one first I noticed that

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:25.000
the ATX connector doesn't fit through the hole into the bottom compartment if

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:30.040
it's a full 24 pin design without the four detachable pins but mine has four

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:36.040
Breakaway pins so that was okay and and then I realized that not one combination

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:41.360
of the Mini ITX boards and sfx power supplies that I own would allow the 24

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

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

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:54.360
store the now extra length that I had to deal with I actually had the opposite

00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:59.200
problem as well with the front usb3 header so the cable wasn't long enough

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

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:07.400
minor issue and everything else here was fine Drive mounting is solid with anti

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

00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:18.799
and cable management was mostly easy with the only potential snafu being the

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

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:26.639
power supply has left or right angle SATA connectors also of note while you

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

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

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

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:43.000
pleased to see these sick magnetic fan filters over the motherboard and plower

00:04:40.039 --> 00:04:47.759
Supply areas plower Supply filtered intakes are a very very good thing but I

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:53.680
was pretty disappointed to see how poorly planned the case's airflow

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.720
strategy was in general the 120 mm fan

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.960
behind the top filter needed to be turned around to keep the case's

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.479
internal pressure positive so that you're forcing dust out of the little

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:08.800
gaps in the case rather than into them drawing in dust check out this video to

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:13.440
learn more about this concept and the graphics card mounting while it's super

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:17.800
sweet with this PCIe Riser card and compatibility with up to 24 cm graphics

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

00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:28.800
like the cable cutout only being suitable for low-end 20 pin ATX

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:32.280
connectors I mean it's it's in there rather than feeling like it's an

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:36.000
important part of the case design and that like lean Lee actually expects

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:41.240
anyone to put a high-end card in the case any dual slot cooler design is

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:45.800
obviously going to starve for Fresh Air with a blower Style putting the fan

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:50.800
right up against a non-perforated side panel and an open design simply

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:56.479
scattering hot air around at the CPU in the nearby hard drive which leads into

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

00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:04.800
case I can never fault lean Le craftsmanship but unfortunately it's

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:10.120
more geared towards light and middleweight media PC use and it's not

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:16.039
what I wanted as someone who wants to see a proper console killer case

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:19.440
truthfully even though I like the case that's making it really hard for me to

00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:25.240
give it a positive conclusion here because it just feels like such a missed

00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:28.280
opportunity given that even the lowly

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:31.680
7850 that I have in there runs at 81° on

00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:34.919
the CPU at 80 7% fan speed and we're

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.960
talking about 110 TDP card here 110 watt

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

00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:48.000
case that I wanted this to be should already exist or be due for release very

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.599
soon 10 months ago I met with Nathan

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

00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:58.400
we could take actually a very similar design to this one obviously before this

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

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

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:13.400
the graphics card on a flexible PCIe extension on the bottom so the intake

00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:18.160
would be on the same side as the CPU intake and an external brick style power

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:22.199
supply setup maybe with dual bricks or something like that I've seen this done

00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:27.080
before now as well you know ASUS with their latest Rog thing G20 or something

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

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:35.560
adequately cooled ITX gaming PC into a

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:39.919
form factor about the size of the PS4 but they've been sitting on their asses

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

00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.879
guys let me and Cooler Master know in the comments if you want to see

00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:52.319
something like that because if it turned out well that is the kind of thing that

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:58.360
I would love to do like a sick Linus edition case of or something like that

00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.800
anyway good case not what I expected

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:03.120
