1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,150 we're at Fan Texas suite at CES and we're taking a look at their brand new 2 00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:14,040 Envy 7 case 3 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,199 I mean just look at it it's beautiful I 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,140 would even say sexy one of the biggest features is that this is supposed to be 5 00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:25,260 a showcase PC something that you're going to put on your desk show all of 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,920 your friends who really care about computer hardware how much money you've 7 00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:32,880 spent I mean just look at it you have fans on the back you have fans 8 00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,840 on the bottom you have fans on top you have fans everywhere the whole idea is 9 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:39,899 that this is a zero compromises case it's going to be both beautiful and high 10 00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:44,520 performance and it's going to allow you to get the most out of your Hardware let's just talk about the outside of it 11 00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:50,520 as you can see you have a tempered glass front panel that goes right around to the side seamless there's no 12 00:00:48,059 --> 00:00:54,660 reinforcement here so it's just like it's just glass to do this they've had 13 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:57,239 to reinforce a lot of the edges so there's going to be some thick edges 14 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,360 we'll show you the inside of the case in just a moment but some other cool 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,100 features is that down here you can see they've angled this whole bottom panel 16 00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:09,420 up even including the i o this is to get better airflow as well as to show off 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,680 your fans at the bottom so again a showcase PC it's all about bragging and 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:18,780 showing off speaking of IO you have a combo microphone headphone jack a USB 19 00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:22,560 type-c 10 gigabit per second port and two USB type a five gigabit per second 20 00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:26,640 ports fun fact you can actually take this and 21 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,119 mount it on the back with the rest of your cables so if you want to have this 22 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:34,320 whole case turned and looking nice you don't have to see any gross cables at 23 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,979 the front it's all about image okay one cool thing is that usually the back of 24 00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:40,560 the PC case is where all the manufacturers stop carrying because they 25 00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:45,180 go you're going to shove it against the wall no one's ever going to see it fantex did not agree with that so what 26 00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:49,680 they've done is that they put this whole door on the back that's going to cover all of your cables and this is this is 27 00:01:48,659 --> 00:01:54,840 really cool they have cable Combs that go along the 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:58,979 entire back side and the bottom so you can route your cables totally smoothly 29 00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:02,159 throughout and just have them subtly stick out you don't actually even have 30 00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:06,540 to have them come out the back you can actually have them come out the bottom through these rubber grommets just 31 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,360 inside the back panel now some of you might be thinking look at this garbage 32 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:15,300 airflow they just want it to look nice so they put all of their fans as exhausts not so fast phantix has reverse 33 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,020 fans so you can make sure that your RGB looks clean even if it's exhausting or 34 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,980 intaking and in the spirit of keeping things clean their new D30 fans come 35 00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:26,520 with these Bridge connectors that allow you to connect up to four fans Daisy 36 00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:29,580 Chained and just run them through one single connector they also have these 37 00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:34,260 little clips that you can put on and cover the screw holes up so that you have a completely uninterrupted looking 38 00:02:32,459 --> 00:02:38,940 fan it's working on me it looks really good and in the case they even have this 39 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:43,920 diffuse RGB strips that run along the um I guess the motherboard frame as well as 40 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:47,099 you might notice this there's no PSU that you can see that's because this 41 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:51,660 chamber up here is actually a sideways mounted PSU and the case comes with an 42 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,200 integrated RGB controller that's dual channel so you don't have to plug 43 00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:58,560 everything into this one controller and then only have all the same color you 44 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,959 can actually change each Channel individually so I can change the speed 45 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:05,700 and the color of the effects for each 46 00:03:03,959 --> 00:03:10,080 Channel without software just using the hardware 47 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:15,599 in the computer which makes it means it's going to work with a lot more fans 48 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,300 than uh you know Corsair's IQ software 49 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,980 also you don't have to install Corsair's IQ software which is a win for everyone 50 00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:27,659 but before we take a look inside let's take a look at our sponsor dbrand okay 51 00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:31,680 so our sponsor dropped out for CES 2023 but dbrand foot of the bill they're 52 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:37,620 making me come out here on the streets and offer people Tech tips for free and 53 00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:42,920 I hate it hey 54 00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:45,239 gas prices eh you want a tech tip 55 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,739 do you know when you use Google yeah and you want to search 56 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000 for a whole phrase if you put the whole phrase in quotation 57 00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:58,140 marks it'll search for all of those words instead of just one 58 00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:01,440 you didn't know that and if you put a minus in front of a word it'll take it 59 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,700 out of the search results you didn't know that either you didn't 60 00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:10,019 know oh that's awesome okay one more thing good can you go to shortlineus.com 61 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,299 short Linus like Linus from the from the 62 00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:19,019 peanuts oh sure yeah okay great not right now whenever you 63 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,900 want okay yeah to take the whole case apart you're 64 00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:28,680 gonna have to open this back door and then everything from there on is going to be tool-less you got thumb screws for 65 00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:32,360 the glass side panel just right here be very careful with this big piece of 66 00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:36,600 glass if you want to take off the top panel 67 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,540 there's just a couple more thumb screws there's actually one screw here on the 68 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,280 back panel but that's just for shipping once you've gotten your case you don't have to worry about it and this just oh 69 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,240 it just slides off like that for the front panel if you do want to 70 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,780 remove it you will need to take the screws out here and here so you do need 71 00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:54,960 at least a screwdriver but I assume that if you're already if you're getting in 72 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,380 dirty enough to take out the front panel you probably have a screwdriver handy 73 00:04:56,699 --> 00:05:02,040 and if you don't you can buy one at lttstore.com oh there's a little rubber 74 00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:07,919 grommet here that's okay so for mounting options you have up 75 00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:09,300 to three 360 millimeter rad so 360 here 76 00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:13,860 360 here 360 at the top a 240 at the back if you 77 00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:18,060 want you can put four fans here but not a 480 millimeter rad that's just because 78 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:22,380 of the way the case is slanted you don't quite have enough clearance but you can 79 00:05:20,940 --> 00:05:26,820 just put in another rad if you really need that these uh frames can be easily 80 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,720 removed with again another thumb screw allowing you to put your fans in your 81 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:35,039 radiator in outside of the case and then you can put it back in same thing with 82 00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:39,780 the bottom frame the top frame is not removable though slide forward 83 00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:43,740 and a nice touch is they have these rubber dampeners on the bottom so any 84 00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:47,639 vibrations from your fans won't go to the case and make a bunch of noise also 85 00:05:45,539 --> 00:05:51,600 if you want this to be mounted flat as opposed to on an angle you can just turn 86 00:05:49,380 --> 00:05:56,039 it around and put it back in the case and it's flat currently this is 87 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:02,940 configured for a standard ATX motherboard but you can actually support up to an eatx motherboard by just 88 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,340 removing the RGB strips they just slide 89 00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:08,580 out like that they're all connected with Pogo pins so 90 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,060 you don't have to worry about any extra cable work or anything like that you 91 00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:15,000 take this bracket you flip it like this and now you have a thinner bracket so 92 00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:19,800 you can fit a wider motherboard one thing to note is that this is actually where your GPU mounting bracket will 93 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,100 attach to you can see these screw holes right here or right here depending on 94 00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:27,900 your configuration so this actually screws into the back of the case because 95 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:31,800 it's a very very rigid bracket and it's actually really subtle 96 00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:36,300 um I don't know if I actually missed it when we were talking about it in the big 97 00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:38,100 case but that ASUS 4090 has a bracket be 98 00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:41,280 holding it up it's really subtle really slick and for your custom water cooling 99 00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:46,740 Loops they've even thoughtfully included not just a fill Port but a drain Port 100 00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:50,340 that's the one you really want that's gonna make your life a lot easier let's 101 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:55,259 go to the back side on the back side you can see the PSU chamber as well as ample 102 00:06:52,919 --> 00:06:59,759 Cable Management it comes with tons of tie down points with included cable 103 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:05,100 straps which is great all of your cables are just going to kind of live around here which is nice because if you have 104 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,699 any access but also that big big ass 24 pin cable that you got to plug into your 105 00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:11,699 motherboard what a pain it's always the same length a lot of the time you have 106 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:15,840 too much of it especially because your power supply is going to be right here rather than at the bottom like a lot of 107 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,740 other cases so you'll have a lot of excess cable well fantax thought about 108 00:07:18,180 --> 00:07:23,220 that phantix implemented this little door with this cable routing where you 109 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,400 can route the cable around these posts and then back through so you only have 110 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,720 the exact amount of cable that you need to get to your motherboard and it looks 111 00:07:28,139 --> 00:07:36,000 clean even from the back or No One's Gonna look but you know you can mount 112 00:07:33,539 --> 00:07:40,259 two two and a half inch ssds here one on either side but storage doesn't end 113 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,759 there in this little door you can put up to four ssds or two three and a half 114 00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:48,060 inch hard drives or a combination of the both with this little bracket you also 115 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,020 have cable routing options at the top here just above the motherboard or 116 00:07:49,979 --> 00:07:55,740 through these cool like right angled rubber grommets here that makes it 117 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,400 really easy to pass large cables through I thought this was going to be like a 118 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,699 cable management hole but then I realized it was a cable management hole 119 00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:06,000 to nowhere because the side panel goes right in what this is actually for is if 120 00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:09,120 you space for relief of your cable because the way SATA cables kind of 121 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,660 stick out you have to curve them around you can't just bend them 122 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:18,660 this gives you the opportunity to have a little bit of relief all this beauty is going to cost a pretty penny right well 123 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:23,639 it's not actually that bad phantek says that this is going to be hitting the 124 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:25,560 market at 220 or I guess 19.99 is 125 00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:29,340 probably what they're going to do um which I think is a pretty good price 126 00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:32,520 for something that's like a showcase PC especially with how decked out with 127 00:08:31,020 --> 00:08:37,140 features this thing is it's coming in February 2023 so keep your eyes peeled 128 00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:40,860 for one of these I think really cool cases if you like this ShortCircuit 129 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,720 subscribe or maybe check out the other video we did at CES about the inwin mod 130 00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:49,560 free case it's like a PC that's modular so you can just keep adding more things 131 00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:53,420 onto it as you get more and more invested in I don't know computers
