WEBVTT

00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:08.679
today we'll be unboxing a case from centi and their slogan is building

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.719
dreams so evidently this is a dream

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:14.360
actually it's not a dream this is from the arvina extreme Division and it is

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.359
the GS 6400b so I'm going to go ahead and

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.359
assume that uh GS is some kind of say

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.480
for example gaming series and uh b means

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:28.359
that it's probably black all right there's some uh notes here about the

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

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:38.440
too closely at that I have once again done absolutely zero preparation for an

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:40.920
unboxing so we will be discovering as we

00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:47.120
go along all of the things that are important to know about the GS

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:47.120
6400b

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:54.600
now this is not a brand new case it is a

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

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:03.559
that's kind of life so yeah there are no

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:10.280
seals to break and it's not going to be quite new hopefully you guys will

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.720
forgive me and we can move past

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

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

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

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:33.640
and that's the English side excellent so let's have a look at this case

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

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.280
wear chassis just a little bit not very much not very much at all actually okay

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

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:51.960
ventilation and you can see that we are actually perhaps missing one of these I

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

00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.719
the

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.960
uh okay well we'll just have to continue on this Voyage of Discovery without the

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

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

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:20.080
these you can see we have two stealth 5 and 1/4 in Drive Bay

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:22.239
covers okay there you are we have a

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.760
compact flash reader SD and then a bunch of stuff that doesn't really matter and

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:31.680
then on the top we have the power switch which appears to

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

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

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:45.760
you just use like a standard internal to internal cable and then you could plug

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

00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:55.800
USB front audio hard drive LED as well as a reset switch are all hidden down

00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:58.319
there more ventilation in the top on

00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:01.800
this side we find just a plain panel cameraman watch your angle so you don't

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.959
get spotted there and then we have a release latch uh back here which we will

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:13.879
need to undo the thumb screws in order to access so we'll do

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:16.560
that two thumb screws on this side two

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:22.400
thumb screws on this side and then all the thumb screws will

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:25.200
be released and then we can use the

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:31.879
toolless mechanism aha there we are oops so we'll go ahead

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

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.480
side panel you can see here has a little

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:44.760
button that you just press on and then you pull back so that's pretty

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:47.040
straightforward all right and we'll

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

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:54.959
at the back 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 PCI expansion

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

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

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:07.439
they call it exclusive coolers for video card Refrigeration but what I call it is

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:12.120
fans to blow down on your video card which is also very useful so these are

00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:18.799
two 80 mm fans they just mount on this little swing ARM that uh conveniently

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.079
has little uh built-in wiring so while

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

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

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

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

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.880
doesn't say anything but seems to have blue fans inside it all right

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.000
accessories hopefully I didn't just break that so here's all of your screws

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

00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:56.919
fingerprints off the finish of the case so here we can see if there's anything

00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:56.919
else in here of note an extra

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.880
PCI cover okay I'm very

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

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:11.320
the extra one that's provided that's okay I won't complain hey extras are

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

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

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:25.080
eatx mounting holes so what that means is that you can't mount a huge eatx

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.080
server board but you can mount something like a rampage 3 Extreme which uses

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

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.400
the top you can see we have two 120 mm fans which unfortunately aren't spaced

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:41.400
correctly for mounting a radiator but it looks like there wouldn't be space to

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

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.840
fet cooling or anything it would probably interfere with it anyhow okay

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:53.560
Cable Management we've got our typical Cable Management holes so your power

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

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:01.600
the intake for the power supply so that's a separate Cooling zone for your

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:07.400
power supply you can also Mount another fan here either 120 mil or 140 mm and

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:12.080
then we've got front panel connectors Gore to go with all of the front panel

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:15.800
stuff that we showed you before and then let's talk a little bit about the

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:20.000
tooless mount oh this is good yes CPU cutout nice big one that means you can

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.400
swap your CPU Cooler even if you have one that requires a back plate without

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:29.880
taking the motherboard out of the case all right let's have a look at the

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:32.759
toolless mounting for the optical drive

00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:36.080
okay so that's pretty straightforward so there's two little spikes in there you

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.039
press that in locks your drive in place you press this button it opens it up

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:45.800
okay that was easy and then oo that's kind of fancy look at that so

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

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

00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:59.759
1/2 in drives they have million mounting

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

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

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:14.280
can go ahead and slide that whole thing back in to

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

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:21.720
can pull them out and pop them back

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

00:07:23.479 --> 00:07:29.879
uh definitely different and then on the back of the

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

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

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

00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:47.560
panel but I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about

00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:49.759
the centi GS

00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:54.879
6400b oh yeah hey there's the adapter cable you need for that front SATA thing

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:58.919
cool just in case you were wondering let me just see if there's anything that

00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:04.560
I've forgotten hidden cable system removable hard drive base front cooler

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:07.280
Refrigeration card reader okay looks like I talked about everything so thank

00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:11.479
you for checking out my unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to Linus techtips
