00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:13.840
welcome to my MSI interceptor series

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.880
ravager unboxing this is a case from MSI which is something that you might not be

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:20.640
accustomed to seeing more along the lines of like motherboards and graphics

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.720
cards and like even networking gear and stuff like that but never cases before

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.960
so we see a few different features outlined on the front of the case one is

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.320
super speed usb 3.0 tool-less drive bay design solid-state drive support

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.760
three-year warranty advanced thermal design custom lacerated imprints so

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:41.520
that's kind of like a cool like claw like effect going on over here

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

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.039
vital gear i would not put it anywhere near something called a ravager

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:54.559
just throwing that out there however i'm pretty sure what they mean is

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.640
computer gear which is probably fine okay moving right along custom lacerated

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.559
imprint and advanced thermal design includes two high quality fans cable

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.760
camouflage systems so cable routing okay removable three and a half inch

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.080
drive big cages full-size vga card support up to 310 millimeters screw-less

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.840
easy snapping hard drive tray okay two the out supports two and a half

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:16.479
inch as well tool is five and a quarter water cooling ready although this is

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

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:24.960
a natively mounted radiator extra spacing for cable management and

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:28.720
pre-installed with 120 millimeter front blue led fan with dust filter

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.520
let's go ahead and open this bad boy up shall we

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:36.320
got my knife

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:43.759
all right breaking some seals because that's what we do

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.280
and hey soft foam as you guys may or may not know if

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.880
you've been watching my channel for a little while i prefer

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.280
soft foam to hard foam because it stands

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:06.240
up against multiple impacts better than heart foam this is however quite thin

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.800
soft foam in some places considering the

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.599
size and weight of a fully loaded system but

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.239
i guess i'm gonna have to compromise on this particular one

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.959
all right there we have the raptor actually it looks not bad

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.840
this looks better in person than it does in pictures i mean the ouch shocked me

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.280
and i mean the uh the laceration like tattoo thing that they got going on here

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:34.879
so this is a fairly high quality paint that they're using it's not something

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

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.640
looks actually looks kind of nice and it matches the overall color scheme of the

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.040
case so you can see the internals are using MSI branded fans as well as

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:53.280
blue pci slot covers a blue motherboard back

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.680
plate as well as more tattoos over here

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.120
on the other side and they got an interceptor series ravager this one

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

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

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

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

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:20.080
front we've got our intakes here at the front as well

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

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:29.680
microphone front usb 3.0 reset switch and hard drive indicator led we've got

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

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.560
inside there on this side we've got support for up to two 140 millimeter

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.120
fans although this spacing is also compatible with two 120

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.440
millimeter fans on the back we find another 120

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.239
millimeter fan or 92 millimeter fan whichever you prefer and seven pci slots

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.360
so this is going to fit standard atx boards or micro atx boards or mini itx

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:58.720
boards but not xl atx boards two filtered intakes on the bottom one of

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.640
these is for your power supply one of these is for an additional 120

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

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

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

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:19.600
my fingers and i have to actually use a screwdriver heaven forbid

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:21.280
i need a screwdriver in this day and age

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

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.160
a tool-less guy myself i prefer things that are securely mounted to

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

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:36.320
too much flex on the panel although this isn't exactly a premium case by any

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

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:45.360
mean when i say premium case i mean like it's

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:49.759
not you know 300 case like a Corsair 800d where my expectation would be that

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:52.720
it's you know built out of tank armor but

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:57.120
um yeah moving on

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

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:05.280
these filters are basically just mounted with little uh little clips actually

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:09.440
here you can have a look so they're mounted with little clips they're

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:13.120
effective if not the most you know elegant possible solution but they're

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

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

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:24.400
i was like not impressed um so here we are on the inside okay so

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

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

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:37.120
tools for two and a half inch drives you can also see that these are completely

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.960
removable oops i put that in there there we go these are completely removable and

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:46.160
also tool-less check that out so not only could you mount a 310 millimeter

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:50.000
graphics card you could mount like a 400 plus millimeter graphics card and this

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.400
also gives you a way to install an additional 120 millimeter fan without

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

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

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

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:11.280
millimeter fan at the back of the case this one with MSI branding so this guy

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

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.199
few hard drives at any rate so this is your optical drive mounting basically

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:23.919
you just how does this work push

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.039
oh cool there you go so they pop out or they pop in

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.440
good stuff what else is there to really say here

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:34.720
let's have a look at the internal connectors so nothing really out of the ordinary

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:40.960
here we've got power as well as usb 3 usb 2 and front hd

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:44.560
audio we've got your usual internal connectors for you know your power

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:47.759
switch your reset switch and your various leds that you're going to need

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

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.240
have space for managing your cables so everything from your power supply is

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:58.720
going to come through this one and you'll be running them out here here and

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:01.919
here is where your eight pin or uh yeah here too you could potentially put an

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

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

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

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.400
millimeter fans i would have preferred to see just straight 2 by 120 with

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

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

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

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.160
case and in terms of room for routing cables

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

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:44.720
24 pin cable without warping out the other side of the case from the back it

00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:48.960
doesn't really look like there's anything in particular going on

00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:52.160
i think that pretty much covers it other than checking out what's in here so

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.479
hopefully there's like some oh look at the bag

00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.879
MSI customer survival pack i guarantee i

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

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.360
i'm looking at you your initials are rk

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:13.759
and that is hilarious okay um

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.919
i also know who's responsible for these dog tags

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

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.879
zip ties because how many times have you seen cases that come with those little

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:29.360
short zip ties like this that actually like aren't big enough to hold anything

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

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.719
use them so these help a lot when you're routing cables having all these little

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:40.080
loops on the back of the motherboard tray allows you to keep everything flat

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:43.200
and keep everything cabled really tightly whether it's data cables that

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:47.360
you're running down here or power cables that you're running up to various places

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.880
so that is what those included zip ties are for we also have

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:59.680
oh neat okay these are handy we also have a phillips head to

00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:02.800
motherboard standoff adapter so you put the motherboard stand off on this side

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

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.880
that nice little touches black screws love to see that

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.360
very nice and it comes with a dog tag

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:22.120
MSI insist on the best that's actually quite nice it's very thick

00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:22.120
cool i'll put that with my other dog

00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:30.240
although this one is customized see this one's from NVIDIA

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:33.440
gtx 590 squadron so now i have MSI insist on the best to go with that

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.720
although the MSI one feels like higher quality this one's kind of cheesy

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.680
so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the

00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:43.279
interceptor series ravager case from MSI
