WEBVTT 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 00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:14.040 Envy 7 case 00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:19.199 I mean just look at it it's beautiful I 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.140 would even say sexy one of the biggest features is that this is supposed to be 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:25.260 a showcase PC something that you're going to put on your desk show all of 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.920 your friends who really care about computer hardware how much money you've 00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:32.880 spent I mean just look at it you have fans on the back you have fans 00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:36.840 on the bottom you have fans on top you have fans everywhere the whole idea is 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.899 that this is a zero compromises case it's going to be both beautiful and high 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 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 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 00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:57.239 to reinforce a lot of the edges so there's going to be some thick edges 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 00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:05.100 features is that down here you can see they've angled this whole bottom panel 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 00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.680 your fans at the bottom so again a showcase PC it's all about bragging and 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:18.780 showing off speaking of IO you have a combo microphone headphone jack a USB 00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:22.560 type-c 10 gigabit per second port and two USB type a five gigabit per second 00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:26.640 ports fun fact you can actually take this and 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 00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:34.320 whole case turned and looking nice you don't have to see any gross cables at 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 00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:40.560 the PC case is where all the manufacturers stop carrying because they 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 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 00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:54.840 really cool they have cable Combs that go along the 00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:58.979 entire back side and the bottom so you can route your cables totally smoothly 00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:02.159 throughout and just have them subtly stick out you don't actually even have 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 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.360 inside the back panel now some of you might be thinking look at this garbage 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 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 00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:22.980 intaking and in the spirit of keeping things clean their new D30 fans come 00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:26.520 with these Bridge connectors that allow you to connect up to four fans Daisy 00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:29.580 Chained and just run them through one single connector they also have these 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 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 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:43.920 diffuse RGB strips that run along the um I guess the motherboard frame as well as 00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:47.099 you might notice this there's no PSU that you can see that's because this 00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:51.660 chamber up here is actually a sideways mounted PSU and the case comes with an 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:55.200 integrated RGB controller that's dual channel so you don't have to plug 00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:58.560 everything into this one controller and then only have all the same color you 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.959 can actually change each Channel individually so I can change the speed 00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:05.700 and the color of the effects for each 00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:10.080 Channel without software just using the hardware 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 00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:18.300 than uh you know Corsair's IQ software 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 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 00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:31.680 so our sponsor dropped out for CES 2023 but dbrand foot of the bill they're 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:37.620 making me come out here on the streets and offer people Tech tips for free and 00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:42.920 I hate it hey 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:45.239 gas prices eh you want a tech tip 00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:49.739 do you know when you use Google yeah and you want to search 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.000 for a whole phrase if you put the whole phrase in quotation 00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:58.140 marks it'll search for all of those words instead of just one 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 00:03:59.640 --> 00:04:05.700 out of the search results you didn't know that either you didn't 00:04:03.540 --> 00:04:10.019 know oh that's awesome okay one more thing good can you go to shortlineus.com 00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:15.299 short Linus like Linus from the from the 00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:19.019 peanuts oh sure yeah okay great not right now whenever you 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:21.900 want okay yeah to take the whole case apart you're 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 00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:32.360 the glass side panel just right here be very careful with this big piece of 00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:36.600 glass if you want to take off the top panel 00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.540 there's just a couple more thumb screws there's actually one screw here on the 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 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.240 it just slides off like that for the front panel if you do want to 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 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 00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:58.380 dirty enough to take out the front panel you probably have a screwdriver handy 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 00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:07.919 grommet here that's okay so for mounting options you have up 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:09.300 to three 360 millimeter rad so 360 here 00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:13.860 360 here 360 at the top a 240 at the back if you 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 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 00:05:20.940 --> 00:05:26.820 just put in another rad if you really need that these uh frames can be easily 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.720 removed with again another thumb screw allowing you to put your fans in your 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 00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:39.780 the bottom frame the top frame is not removable though slide forward 00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:43.740 and a nice touch is they have these rubber dampeners on the bottom so any 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 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 00:05:49.380 --> 00:05:56.039 it around and put it back in the case and it's flat currently this is 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 00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:04.340 removing the RGB strips they just slide 00:06:02.940 --> 00:06:08.580 out like that they're all connected with Pogo pins so 00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:12.060 you don't have to worry about any extra cable work or anything like that you 00:06:10.380 --> 00:06:15.000 take this bracket you flip it like this and now you have a thinner bracket so 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 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.100 attach to you can see these screw holes right here or right here depending on 00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:27.900 your configuration so this actually screws into the back of the case because 00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:31.800 it's a very very rigid bracket and it's actually really subtle 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 00:06:32.940 --> 00:06:38.100 case but that ASUS 4090 has a bracket be 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:41.280 holding it up it's really subtle really slick and for your custom water cooling 00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:46.740 Loops they've even thoughtfully included not just a fill Port but a drain Port 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 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 00:06:52.919 --> 00:06:59.759 Cable Management it comes with tons of tie down points with included cable 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 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 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 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 00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:19.740 other cases so you'll have a lot of excess cable well fantax thought about 00:07:18.180 --> 00:07:23.220 that phantix implemented this little door with this cable routing where you 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.400 can route the cable around these posts and then back through so you only have 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:30.720 the exact amount of cable that you need to get to your motherboard and it looks 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 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 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 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:48.060 inch hard drives or a combination of the both with this little bracket you also 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:52.020 have cable routing options at the top here just above the motherboard or 00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:55.740 through these cool like right angled rubber grommets here that makes it 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:59.400 really easy to pass large cables through I thought this was going to be like a 00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:02.699 cable management hole but then I realized it was a cable management hole 00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:06.000 to nowhere because the side panel goes right in what this is actually for is if 00:08:04.020 --> 00:08:09.120 you space for relief of your cable because the way SATA cables kind of 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:12.660 stick out you have to curve them around you can't just bend them 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 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:23.639 it's not actually that bad phantek says that this is going to be hitting the 00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:25.560 market at 220 or I guess 19.99 is 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:29.340 probably what they're going to do um which I think is a pretty good price 00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:32.520 for something that's like a showcase PC especially with how decked out with 00:08:31.020 --> 00:08:37.140 features this thing is it's coming in February 2023 so keep your eyes peeled 00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:40.860 for one of these I think really cool cases if you like this ShortCircuit 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.720 subscribe or maybe check out the other video we did at CES about the inwin mod 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 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:53.420 onto it as you get more and more invested in I don't know computers
