1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,080
this is the brand new mod free PC case from inwin looks pretty nice huh but

2
00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:12,179
maybe it's a little big well don't worry about that because the whole top just

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,580
comes off actually this comes off too

4
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:19,560
um this also just kind of comes off but we expect that and uh this comes off and

5
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:23,939
you can actually take the whole front off if you really want to because the

6
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:28,820
whole computer is modular that's right every single prism in this whole Beast

7
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:34,260
of a machine can be just totally removed completely tool-less completely simple

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,040
let's take a look over here the whole idea behind this case is that you only

9
00:00:35,579 --> 00:00:41,399
have to buy what you need when you need it so you don't have to fret over being

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,340
like Oh I want to get this small case but what if I want more storage in the

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,899
future I don't have enough Drive mounts well at any point you can just get

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:54,539
yourself an expansion module that toollously attaches right at the top or

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,680
at the bottom or at the sides even with the base version of the case you get two

14
00:00:56,579 --> 00:01:02,579
modules the motherboard module and the PSU module you would put them I don't

15
00:01:00,899 --> 00:01:07,260
know I guess together and like this kind of you know a traditional

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,340
format that the bottom mounted power supply and then you would be able to put

17
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:14,520
any side panels or top panels that you want on it and you can get a 280

18
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,240
millimeter rad that can be mounted at the top or at the front it also comes

19
00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:22,799
with a mount for your storage so you can have two 2.5 and a half inch drives or

20
00:01:20,939 --> 00:01:25,680
one three and a half inch drive and the cool thing is that you can kind of put

21
00:01:24,299 --> 00:01:29,820
it wherever you want you want to put it up here you can you just got to screw it

22
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:33,299
in you want to put it further back you can do that too and here at the bottom

23
00:01:31,619 --> 00:01:36,240
you can even put them at the front and the storage module will hold to eight

24
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:43,079
three and a half inch drives which will allow you to basically transform this into your Nas if you want or you can put

25
00:01:40,979 --> 00:01:47,400
a whole other computer in just the expansion module currently supports an

26
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:50,759
sfx power supply and as you can see an mitx motherboard so if you're a streamer

27
00:01:49,619 --> 00:01:54,899
and you want to have a dedicated stream computer or if you're somebody who wants

28
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:59,820
to have network attached storage but you don't want to have to have another computer sitting somewhere else you can

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,360
literally just I don't know put this on the side put this on the front maybe not

30
00:02:01,979 --> 00:02:08,220
probably on the best airflow configuration to put a whole other computer on the front of your other

31
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:12,720
computer but hey I don't make the rules you do and that's

32
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:16,140
the beauty you can just have your base computer with a bottom mounted PSU or

33
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:20,340
you can actually put the module on the top if that's what you prefer and if you

34
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:26,819
go uh oh maybe I need more cooling for that new 40 90 I'm getting well you can

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,280
add another module or two modules or

36
00:02:26,819 --> 00:02:32,819
even three more modules which is this is the mod tier that inwin is also going to

37
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:36,540
be selling there's an extra expansion module in the back you can see three

38
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:40,020
fans another module down there another module in the front each of the

39
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,959
expansion modules can hold up to a 420 millimeter rad and you don't have to

40
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,160
worry about compatibility because you're not going to deal with your radiator blocking going over your motherboard and

41
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:50,519
blocking some of the ports or whatever you just have this whole extra section

42
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:57,239
one thing that's interesting is that currently all of the modules that they have here at CES are longer than the

43
00:02:54,660 --> 00:03:01,319
horizontal length of the case so if you want to add something on top it's going

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
to look a little weird it's gonna have a bit of a pompadour but you can always

45
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:09,300
add it to the front right for that again that better rad support one thing I

46
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:14,159
would also like to see is that maybe a change to this mechanism right now it's just kind of a piece of metal I think if

47
00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:18,300
they added maybe just some like rubber around the edges that would really make it nice this is pre-production and

48
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,640
they're looking for feedback so if this seems like something that you don't really care about then maybe they won't

49
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:26,519
change it or do a favor for me and tell them to put rubber on it that's enough

50
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:31,080
about the modules let's get back to the main case and look at some of the features that we have you have some

51
00:03:29,099 --> 00:03:34,080
rubber grommets for cable management you also have a lot of options for cable

52
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,640
manager this is great because you don't know where your cables are going to go you can put your PSU on the front top or

53
00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:42,540
the back so they have to give this kind of extra space to accommodate any

54
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,840
configuration which is a pretty unique design challenge because a lot of times

55
00:03:44,459 --> 00:03:50,700
when you're making a case you have something in mind of how it's supposed

56
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:53,819
to go and that allows you to be like we only need these options you have about

57
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:57,840
an inch of clearance on the back end for cables uh you have some tie down points

58
00:03:56,099 --> 00:04:02,220
here's some mounting points for like your RGB controller if you're going like

59
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,459
full RGB one thing I would like to see is maybe a mounting point for a two and

60
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:09,959
a half inch Drive in the back because this is probably going to be the core of

61
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,040
your system I want this part to have as much flexibility as possible so that I

62
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:17,400
don't feel like I'm forced to upgrade rather as opposed to just having the

63
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:20,639
opportunity to upgrade also this can support up to eatx motherboards you see

64
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,240
the mounting holes up here so you can go really big with your motherboard if

65
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,259
you're trying to do a crazy system like that one over there we've mostly been

66
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:31,139
showing off their frosted acrylic side panels and stuff like that but they're

67
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:37,860
actually going to be offering various different types you're going to have good old-fashioned metal tempered glass

68
00:04:34,979 --> 00:04:41,400
mesh panel holes so really it's going to be whatever you prefer and they're also

69
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:44,940
interested in hearing what you guys want in terms of like materials do you want

70
00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:48,979
to maybe see like some wood grain I don't I like a wood grain on my PC

71
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:54,360
personally and I wouldn't mind that okay I like the white and orange Motif it uh

72
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,400
oh we gotta do a d brand segue don't we so our sponsor for CES 2023 actually

73
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:04,440
dropped out but dbrand footed the bill the only catches they want me to come

74
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,699
out onto the streets and offer Tech tips

75
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:11,639
to random people for free it's I I'm not

76
00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:15,360
optimistic for how this is going to go excuse me guys

77
00:05:13,139 --> 00:05:21,180
do you want a tech tip detective a tech tip sure yeah yeah uh

78
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:25,740
you know when you plug in a USB yeah and it won't go in all the way yeah uh don't

79
00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:31,740
keep pushing because there's a reason it's not going you want to flip it over

80
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:33,360
probably okay yeah yeah did that help

81
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:37,080
yeah super helpful okay great yeah that's awesome wait can you do one more

82
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:42,060
thing for me yeah go to shortlineus.com yeah sure man you will yeah you promise

83
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,960
yeah do you want a tech tip have you ever swapped a processor a lot of times

84
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:50,639
okay you know when you take the thermal paste off of the processes small is

85
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:55,560
better you know the isopropyl alcohol you used to take us to rub it off yeah

86
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,820
it's you can't drink it yeah you can no okay can you do one more thing for me

87
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,479
after we're done okay go to shortliness.com short uh you follow

88
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:07,919
Linus and you're the short liners I follow that guy I'm not the shoreline

89
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:13,380
it's on the tall Linus okay for front i o you have two USB 3.1 ports and a USB

90
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:17,220
type-c it'll be 3.2 you also have a combo headphone microphone Jack power

91
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:20,039
button stuff like that now I don't know about you but I don't really want wires

92
00:06:18,780 --> 00:06:25,139
sticking out the side of my computer case I'm more of a top or a front kind

93
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:30,479
of guy but you will you will actually be able to position this where you want in

94
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:35,300
the case so long as it's kind of with this side panel so if you want to have

95
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:39,479
it bottom mounted because it's a square motherboard module you could mount it at

96
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:43,919
the bottom what I'd like to see is probably i o that's more traditionally like at the top or at the front maybe

97
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:49,740
it's just because I'm used to it maybe I'm being close-minded who knows potential for future modules well as we

98
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:54,240
said there's a storage one coming one thing that might be cool to see would be like something with like maybe an

99
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:58,620
integrated Reservoir or just really strong water cooling support again you

100
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:01,979
can just give yourself more space so you can find a reservoir that fits in there

101
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,680
this isn't going to be the thing for everybody for a lot of people especially

102
00:07:03,539 --> 00:07:08,940
if you're like really new to computers and you just want something to Game On You might want to go with something

103
00:07:07,259 --> 00:07:12,000
that's a little bit more basic not that this is hard to use but you'll be

104
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:17,759
cheaper going with like a high volume case from I don't know you know your fan

105
00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:21,900
text Corsair kind of stuff like that but for somebody who goes I know what I want

106
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:25,800
now and I have an idea of what I want in the future I think this is really

107
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:28,800
exciting because you're not going to be tied down to that case and then you also

108
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:34,860
when you do want to upgrade your computer you don't have to throw the rest of the case away or sell it you can

109
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:39,539
just add what you need inwin is going to launch this in Spring 2023 no price has

110
00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:43,680
been announced but what would you pay for it do you think it's cool is it for

111
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:49,139
you if you liked what you just watched then we'll get subscribed to ShortCircuit we've got lots of more CES

112
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,800
coverage coming uh in win

113
00:07:49,139 --> 00:07:51,800
neat
