1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:08,679
today we'll be unboxing a case from centi and their slogan is building

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,719
dreams so evidently this is a dream

3
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:14,360
actually it's not a dream this is from the arvina extreme Division and it is

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,359
the GS 6400b so I'm going to go ahead and

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,359
assume that uh GS is some kind of say

6
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:24,480
for example gaming series and uh b means

7
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:28,359
that it's probably black all right there's some uh notes here about the

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,719
case but we're actually going to take it out of the box so we don't need to look

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:38,440
too closely at that I have once again done absolutely zero preparation for an

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,920
unboxing so we will be discovering as we

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:47,120
go along all of the things that are important to know about the GS

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,120
6400b

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,600
now this is not a brand new case it is a

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:00,960
demo unit so I feel like I'm cheating a little bit on the unboxing but I guess

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,559
that's kind of life so yeah there are no

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:10,280
seals to break and it's not going to be quite new hopefully you guys will

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,720
forgive me and we can move past

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:19,200
this okay now I think I put it right side up but I'm not actually sure I

19
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:24,640
think so the only way to find out oh b stands for blue now we know we learn

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,920
something every day all right so I'm going to put this here as a cheat sheet

21
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:33,640
and that's the English side excellent so let's have a look at this case

22
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:38,240
actually it's kind of neat it reminds me a little bit of the uh the old alien

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,280
wear chassis just a little bit not very much not very much at all actually okay

24
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:47,360
let's start with the front of the case so at the front of the case we have uh

25
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:51,960
ventilation and you can see that we are actually perhaps missing one of these I

26
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,719
guess that's what happens when you have a demo unit case maybe it came off with

27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,719
the

28
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:04,960
uh okay well we'll just have to continue on this Voyage of Discovery without the

29
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:09,640
5 and 1/4 in Bay cover so as you can see these are all mesh but they do have have

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,040
a foam filter behind them so you're not going to get a ton of uh dust buildup in

31
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:20,080
these you can see we have two stealth 5 and 1/4 in Drive Bay

32
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,239
covers okay there you are we have a

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,760
compact flash reader SD and then a bunch of stuff that doesn't really matter and

34
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:31,680
then on the top we have the power switch which appears to

35
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:37,480
have a blue LED light under it and then we have some fan buttons under there we

36
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:42,560
have a little eat oh that's kind of a neat idea so what kind of a cable yeah

37
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,760
you just use like a standard internal to internal cable and then you could plug

38
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:51,000
that into your drive that's kind of neat and then there's a regular ESAT Port 4

39
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:55,800
USB front audio hard drive LED as well as a reset switch are all hidden down

40
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,319
there more ventilation in the top on

41
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,800
this side we find just a plain panel cameraman watch your angle so you don't

42
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,959
get spotted there and then we have a release latch uh back here which we will

43
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:13,879
need to undo the thumb screws in order to access so we'll do

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,560
that two thumb screws on this side two

45
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:22,400
thumb screws on this side and then all the thumb screws will

46
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,200
be released and then we can use the

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:31,879
toolless mechanism aha there we are oops so we'll go ahead

48
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,920
and put that that side panel down I'm going to go ahead and remove the other

49
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,480
side panel you can see here has a little

50
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:44,760
button that you just press on and then you pull back so that's pretty

51
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,040
straightforward all right and we'll

52
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:52,560
check out the interior layout a little bit here so you can see the 120 mil fan

53
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,959
at the back 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 PCI expansion

54
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,760
slot so that's fairly standard and then we've got uh this is one of the features

55
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,319
that's mentioned on the side of the Box this is kind of an exclusive exive well

56
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:07,439
they call it exclusive coolers for video card Refrigeration but what I call it is

57
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,120
fans to blow down on your video card which is also very useful so these are

58
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:18,799
two 80 mm fans they just mount on this little swing ARM that uh conveniently

59
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,079
has little uh built-in wiring so while

60
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:25,040
that would make the fans a little bit hard to replace it does mean that it's

61
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,639
uh no hassle set up as far as if you wanted to use the stock fans these are

62
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,960
probably yeah these are LED fans alth I don't know what color they are I would

63
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:37,280
guess blue based on that we have a blue case and that the picture here says well

64
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,880
doesn't say anything but seems to have blue fans inside it all right

65
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,000
accessories hopefully I didn't just break that so here's all of your screws

66
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:50,560
it even includes a screwdriver that's kind of neat as well as a little microfiber cloth for getting

67
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:56,919
fingerprints off the finish of the case so here we can see if there's anything

68
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,919
else in here of note an extra

69
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,880
PCI cover okay I'm very

70
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,280
given that the ones in here are vented PCI and they are black and not gray like

71
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,320
the extra one that's provided that's okay I won't complain hey extras are

72
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,680
extras right all right so let's see what else we got here as you can see this is

73
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:20,160
a standard ATX case so while it is a little bit wide there aren't any extra

74
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:25,080
eatx mounting holes so what that means is that you can't mount a huge eatx

75
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,080
server board but you can mount something like a rampage 3 Extreme which uses

76
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,880
standard ATX holes but it's a little bit wider so give you that extra space up in

77
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,400
the top you can see we have two 120 mm fans which unfortunately aren't spaced

78
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:41,400
correctly for mounting a radiator but it looks like there wouldn't be space to

79
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,280
mount a radiator in here anyway because the top of the motherboard would be right here and then if you have any Moss

80
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,840
fet cooling or anything it would probably interfere with it anyhow okay

81
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Cable Management we've got our typical Cable Management holes so your power

82
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:58,600
supply mounts on the bottom you can see that there is a uh a dust filter over

83
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,600
the intake for the power supply so that's a separate Cooling zone for your

84
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:07,400
power supply you can also Mount another fan here either 120 mil or 140 mm and

85
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,080
then we've got front panel connectors Gore to go with all of the front panel

86
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,800
stuff that we showed you before and then let's talk a little bit about the

87
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:20,000
tooless mount oh this is good yes CPU cutout nice big one that means you can

88
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,400
swap your CPU Cooler even if you have one that requires a back plate without

89
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:29,880
taking the motherboard out of the case all right let's have a look at the

90
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,759
toolless mounting for the optical drive

91
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:36,080
okay so that's pretty straightforward so there's two little spikes in there you

92
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,039
press that in locks your drive in place you press this button it opens it up

93
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:45,800
okay that was easy and then oo that's kind of fancy look at that so

94
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:52,560
this is how the whole hard drive cage comes out so you can take this whole thing out assemble your hard drives onto

95
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:58,160
these little uh rails so you can see you can install either 3 and 1/2 in or 2 and

96
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,759
1/2 in drives they have million mounting

97
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,639
and ventilation holes on the bottom of them although they are quite sturdy feeling and then you can slide the whole

98
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:09,520
thing back you can see this is a 140 mm cooling fan here in the front and then I

99
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:14,280
can go ahead and slide that whole thing back in to

100
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,560
open up the hard drives all you do is slide them just to the left and then you

101
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,720
can pull them out and pop them back

102
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,599
in that's kind of neat actually I don't know how shipping proof it is but it's

103
00:07:23,479 --> 00:07:29,879
uh definitely different and then on the back of the

104
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:34,479
case we find not a whole lot to speak we do have some cable management spots here

105
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,319
so you can use these tie downs to uh take some of the cables that you routed

106
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:42,280
around the back and make sure that they don't cross each other when you're trying to close your uh your other side

107
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:47,560
panel but I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about

108
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,759
the centi GS

109
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:54,879
6400b oh yeah hey there's the adapter cable you need for that front SATA thing

110
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,919
cool just in case you were wondering let me just see if there's anything that

111
00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:04,560
I've forgotten hidden cable system removable hard drive base front cooler

112
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,280
Refrigeration card reader okay looks like I talked about everything so thank

113
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:11,479
