WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080 this is the brand new mod free PC case from inwin looks pretty nice huh but 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 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.580 comes off actually this comes off too 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 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:23.939 you can actually take the whole front off if you really want to because the 00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:28.820 whole computer is modular that's right every single prism in this whole Beast 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:34.260 of a machine can be just totally removed completely tool-less completely simple 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 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 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 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.899 future I don't have enough Drive mounts well at any point you can just get 00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:54.539 yourself an expansion module that toollously attaches right at the top or 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 00:00:56.579 --> 00:01:02.579 modules the motherboard module and the PSU module you would put them I don't 00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:07.260 know I guess together and like this kind of you know a traditional 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.340 format that the bottom mounted power supply and then you would be able to put 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 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.240 millimeter rad that can be mounted at the top or at the front it also comes 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 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 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 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 00:01:31.619 --> 00:01:36.240 you can even put them at the front and the storage module will hold to eight 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 00:01:40.979 --> 00:01:47.400 a whole other computer in just the expansion module currently supports an 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 00:01:49.619 --> 00:01:54.899 and you want to have a dedicated stream computer or if you're somebody who wants 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 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 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 00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:12.720 computer but hey I don't make the rules you do and that's 00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:16.140 the beauty you can just have your base computer with a bottom mounted PSU or 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 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 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.280 add another module or two modules or 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 00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:36.540 be selling there's an extra expansion module in the back you can see three 00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:40.020 fans another module down there another module in the front each of the 00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:42.959 expansion modules can hold up to a 420 millimeter rad and you don't have to 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 00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:50.519 blocking some of the ports or whatever you just have this whole extra section 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 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 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 00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:09.300 add it to the front right for that again that better rad support one thing I 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 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 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 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 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 00:03:29.099 --> 00:03:34.080 rubber grommets for cable management you also have a lot of options for cable 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 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:42.540 the back so they have to give this kind of extra space to accommodate any 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.840 configuration which is a pretty unique design challenge because a lot of times 00:03:44.459 --> 00:03:50.700 when you're making a case you have something in mind of how it's supposed 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 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 00:03:56.099 --> 00:04:02.220 here's some mounting points for like your RGB controller if you're going like 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 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 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:14.040 your system I want this part to have as much flexibility as possible so that I 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:17.400 don't feel like I'm forced to upgrade rather as opposed to just having the 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.639 opportunity to upgrade also this can support up to eatx motherboards you see 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.240 the mounting holes up here so you can go really big with your motherboard if 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 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:31.139 showing off their frosted acrylic side panels and stuff like that but they're 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 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 00:04:40.020 --> 00:04:44.940 interested in hearing what you guys want in terms of like materials do you want 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 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 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 00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:04.440 dropped out but dbrand footed the bill the only catches they want me to come 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.699 out onto the streets and offer Tech tips 00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:11.639 to random people for free it's I I'm not 00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:15.360 optimistic for how this is going to go excuse me guys 00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:21.180 do you want a tech tip detective a tech tip sure yeah yeah uh 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 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 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:33.360 probably okay yeah yeah did that help 00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:37.080 yeah super helpful okay great yeah that's awesome wait can you do one more 00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:42.060 thing for me yeah go to shortlineus.com yeah sure man you will yeah you promise 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 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:50.639 okay you know when you take the thermal paste off of the processes small is 00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:55.560 better you know the isopropyl alcohol you used to take us to rub it off yeah 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 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:03.479 after we're done okay go to shortliness.com short uh you follow 00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:07.919 Linus and you're the short liners I follow that guy I'm not the shoreline 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 00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:17.220 type-c it'll be 3.2 you also have a combo headphone microphone Jack power 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 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 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 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 00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:39.479 it bottom mounted because it's a square motherboard module you could mount it at 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 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 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 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:58.620 integrated Reservoir or just really strong water cooling support again you 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.979 can just give yourself more space so you can find a reservoir that fits in there 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.680 this isn't going to be the thing for everybody for a lot of people especially 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:51.800 coverage coming uh in win 00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:51.800 neat
