00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:13,840
welcome to my MSI interceptor series

2
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,880
ravager unboxing this is a case from MSI which is something that you might not be

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,640
accustomed to seeing more along the lines of like motherboards and graphics

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,720
cards and like even networking gear and stuff like that but never cases before

5
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,960
so we see a few different features outlined on the front of the case one is

6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,320
super speed usb 3.0 tool-less drive bay design solid-state drive support

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,760
three-year warranty advanced thermal design custom lacerated imprints so

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,520
that's kind of like a cool like claw like effect going on over here

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,879
protecting your vital gear i don't know about you guys but when it comes to my

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,039
vital gear i would not put it anywhere near something called a ravager

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:54,559
just throwing that out there however i'm pretty sure what they mean is

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,640
computer gear which is probably fine okay moving right along custom lacerated

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,559
imprint and advanced thermal design includes two high quality fans cable

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,760
camouflage systems so cable routing okay removable three and a half inch

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,080
drive big cages full-size vga card support up to 310 millimeters screw-less

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,840
easy snapping hard drive tray okay two the out supports two and a half

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,479
inch as well tool is five and a quarter water cooling ready although this is

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,920
very debatable i personally don't believe these grommets make it water cooling ready i'd rather see spacing for

19
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:24,960
a natively mounted radiator extra spacing for cable management and

20
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:28,720
pre-installed with 120 millimeter front blue led fan with dust filter

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,520
let's go ahead and open this bad boy up shall we

22
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:36,320
got my knife

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,759
all right breaking some seals because that's what we do

24
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,280
and hey soft foam as you guys may or may not know if

25
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,880
you've been watching my channel for a little while i prefer

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,280
soft foam to hard foam because it stands

27
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,240
up against multiple impacts better than heart foam this is however quite thin

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,800
soft foam in some places considering the

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,599
size and weight of a fully loaded system but

30
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,239
i guess i'm gonna have to compromise on this particular one

31
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,959
all right there we have the raptor actually it looks not bad

32
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,840
this looks better in person than it does in pictures i mean the ouch shocked me

33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,280
and i mean the uh the laceration like tattoo thing that they got going on here

34
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,879
so this is a fairly high quality paint that they're using it's not something

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,360
that's just like a sticker that's gonna come off this is painted right on it

36
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,640
looks actually looks kind of nice and it matches the overall color scheme of the

37
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,040
case so you can see the internals are using MSI branded fans as well as

38
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,280
blue pci slot covers a blue motherboard back

39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,680
plate as well as more tattoos over here

40
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,120
on the other side and they got an interceptor series ravager this one

41
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,159
looks like it's a sticker but it's no no it's not it's not that's actually painted right on there that looks really

42
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:07,680
sharp uh we've got support for actually you know what no let's finish with the

43
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,159
tattoos and then we'll then move on okay so last set of tattoos right here three

44
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:17,200
five and a quarter inch base big old power button as well as an led at the

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,080
front we've got our intakes here at the front as well

46
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:25,519
and let's move around to the rest of the outside so front usb 2.0 headphone

47
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,680
microphone front usb 3.0 reset switch and hard drive indicator led we've got

48
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:33,040
more fan girls up here we're going to open it up to find out exactly what's

49
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,560
inside there on this side we've got support for up to two 140 millimeter

50
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,120
fans although this spacing is also compatible with two 120

51
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:45,440
millimeter fans on the back we find another 120

52
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:50,239
millimeter fan or 92 millimeter fan whichever you prefer and seven pci slots

53
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,360
so this is going to fit standard atx boards or micro atx boards or mini itx

54
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,720
boards but not xl atx boards two filtered intakes on the bottom one of

55
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,640
these is for your power supply one of these is for an additional 120

56
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,959
millimeter fan now let's go ahead and use the thumb screws here to open up the

57
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,239
case oh look at that they're not too tight from the factory a lot of the time

58
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,680
these thumb screws are so tight at the factory that i can't get them off with

59
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:19,600
my fingers and i have to actually use a screwdriver heaven forbid

60
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,280
i need a screwdriver in this day and age

61
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,520
everything should be toolless actually no i'm not much of that i'm not much of

62
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,160
a tool-less guy myself i prefer things that are securely mounted to

63
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,800
things that are tool-less although if you can securely mount something tool-lessly that's pretty good too not

64
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:36,320
too much flex on the panel although this isn't exactly a premium case by any

65
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,479
stretch of the imagination and the price tag would dictate that it's that it's not i

66
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,360
mean when i say premium case i mean like it's

67
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:49,759
not you know 300 case like a Corsair 800d where my expectation would be that

68
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,720
it's you know built out of tank armor but

69
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,120
um yeah moving on

70
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,919
oops that filter came off let's go ahead and throw that filter back in there so

71
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,280
these filters are basically just mounted with little uh little clips actually

72
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:09,440
here you can have a look so they're mounted with little clips they're

73
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,120
effective if not the most you know elegant possible solution but they're

74
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,360
easy to clean uh not made of metal so they're not going to like rust or

75
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,360
anything after you clean them i've actually run into that very recently that's why i brought it up

76
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,400
i was like not impressed um so here we are on the inside okay so

77
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,479
here's our uh hard drive sled so you can see the two and a half inch mounting holes as

78
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,520
well as the three and a half inch mounting holes so the three and a half inch are tool-less however you will need

79
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,120
tools for two and a half inch drives you can also see that these are completely

80
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,960
removable oops i put that in there there we go these are completely removable and

81
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,160
also tool-less check that out so not only could you mount a 310 millimeter

82
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,000
graphics card you could mount like a 400 plus millimeter graphics card and this

83
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,400
also gives you a way to install an additional 120 millimeter fan without

84
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,720
too much musk or fuss so you can see there's one installed right there that's

85
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:02,080
a blue led fan can you see that he says so so okay well it's in there

86
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:06,319
you'll have to trust me on this one and then there's another blue and black 120

87
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,280
millimeter fan at the back of the case this one with MSI branding so this guy

88
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:15,199
doesn't come out this one's riveted in however you'll probably need at least a

89
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,199
few hard drives at any rate so this is your optical drive mounting basically

90
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,919
you just how does this work push

91
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,039
oh cool there you go so they pop out or they pop in

92
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:29,440
good stuff what else is there to really say here

93
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:34,720
let's have a look at the internal connectors so nothing really out of the ordinary

94
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:40,960
here we've got power as well as usb 3 usb 2 and front hd

95
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,560
audio we've got your usual internal connectors for you know your power

96
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,759
switch your reset switch and your various leds that you're going to need

97
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:51,199
i'd prefer if these were black but it's not the end of the world because you do

98
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,240
have space for managing your cables so everything from your power supply is

99
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,720
going to come through this one and you'll be running them out here here and

100
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:01,919
here is where your eight pin or uh yeah here too you could potentially put an

101
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:06,960
eight pin through there and route that to your motherboard depending on the positioning of the eight pin you can

102
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:10,560
also route a bunch of stuff up through here at the top let's have a look at the

103
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:15,840
spacing in the top here so you can do up to two 140 millimeter fans or two 120

104
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,400
millimeter fans i would have preferred to see just straight 2 by 120 with

105
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,919
support for a radiator but it's not the end of the world one way or the other i

106
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:28,960
didn't actually mention at any point during this video that this is a bottom mounted power supply you've got rubber

107
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,599
mounts right here so it's not going to scratch itself out on the bottom of the

108
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,160
case and in terms of room for routing cables

109
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,880
behind actually that's not bad so we've got enough room back here to easily do a

110
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,720
24 pin cable without warping out the other side of the case from the back it

111
00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:48,960
doesn't really look like there's anything in particular going on

112
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,160
i think that pretty much covers it other than checking out what's in here so

113
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,479
hopefully there's like some oh look at the bag

114
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,879
MSI customer survival pack i guarantee i

115
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:05,039
know who at MSI came up with that idea and i know he's gonna watch this video

116
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:09,360
i'm looking at you your initials are rk

117
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,759
and that is hilarious okay um

118
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,919
i also know who's responsible for these dog tags

119
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,000
oh that's cool okay so it comes with some black zip ties happy to see long

120
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,879
zip ties because how many times have you seen cases that come with those little

121
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,360
short zip ties like this that actually like aren't big enough to hold anything

122
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,599
so these are handy uh you've also got ah yes they've built in lots of space to

123
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,719
use them so these help a lot when you're routing cables having all these little

124
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,080
loops on the back of the motherboard tray allows you to keep everything flat

125
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:43,200
and keep everything cabled really tightly whether it's data cables that

126
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:47,360
you're running down here or power cables that you're running up to various places

127
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:50,880
so that is what those included zip ties are for we also have

128
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,680
oh neat okay these are handy we also have a phillips head to

129
00:08:57,839 --> 00:09:02,800
motherboard standoff adapter so you put the motherboard stand off on this side

130
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:08,080
and you screw it in with a phillips head to screw it into the back of the motherboard tray got a bunch of look at

131
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,880
that nice little touches black screws love to see that

132
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,360
very nice and it comes with a dog tag

133
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:22,120
MSI insist on the best that's actually quite nice it's very thick

134
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,120
cool i'll put that with my other dog

135
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:30,240
although this one is customized see this one's from NVIDIA

136
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:33,440
gtx 590 squadron so now i have MSI insist on the best to go with that

137
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,720
although the MSI one feels like higher quality this one's kind of cheesy

138
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:41,680
so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the

139
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,279
interceptor series ravager case from MSI
