1
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:13,480
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the antech

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:19,320
gx700 now you might have noticed that this box is an antech 900 box so we

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:24,400
actually got our sample scent before the gx700 had a proper retail box or

4
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:29,640
something like that so that's why we don't have a gx700 box but we have some

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:34,920
box to open so we're not going to worry too much about that you know being all

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:41,760
butt hurt about not having the right box and we do have the right case inside so

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,520
everything is is okay oh wait no okay I

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:55,079
see what they've done here they do have a box for the gx700 but it is actually

9
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:57,760
inside uh a 900 box or something and

10
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:05,880
we're just going to have to be creative about this and open it up

11
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:10,880
because there we go go away 900 box Hulk

12
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,880
rip with my thumb that hurts a lot

13
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,159
now ah ah there we

14
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:25,880
go it's sort of like a birthing

15
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,840
process one case born of another case

16
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,280
that is not actually related to it in any way which is like a Divine miracle

17
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,439
of okay you know what moving right along to the gx700 which we do have a box for and we

18
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:42,799
are going to start unboxing it we should just restart the video here because this

19
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:46,840
is ridiculous there we go so this is

20
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:49,399
aimed to be the every gamer case it has

21
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:55,000
the features that people want so it has things like top mounted radiator support

22
00:01:52,680 --> 00:02:00,560
dual 120 there's a piece of foam that will apparently do something right there

23
00:01:58,119 --> 00:02:04,240
okay uh hard foam on the outside this is a value oriented

24
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,879
case although when you do see the feature list I know that we saw this

25
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:14,959
case in the antech suite at CES and we all guessed higher numbers for the MSRP

26
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:16,200
than it actually is ouch this is a

27
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:21,879
reviewer's guide it's okay I've been briefed on this already

28
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,760
okay um so that's why you're going to see hard foam included it's not that

29
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,080
heavy so hopefully it's not going to cause any problems in shipping the one

30
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:32,840
place where I would kind of pause all right the one thing that would give me

31
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:37,840
pause it would be shipping a fully loaded gx700 in the stock box I don't

32
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:43,120
know how comfortable I'd be with that because um the additional weight of the

33
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,560
components inside does add additional

34
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,879
weight so let's start with the front panel front panel is pretty straightforward this you've got four 5

35
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,599
and a/4 inch Bays the way these clip in is actually kind of cool there you go

36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:00,080
hold on you're going to notice something here whoa you hear that sound that's

37
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,159
because these front covers are are actually made of metal on this casee

38
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:09,080
it's been a long time since I've seen like a custom Uh custom metal front

39
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:15,200
panel on a okay I'm just going to give away the surprise on a

40
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:16,879
$69 case so very cool and there's some

41
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,440
functionality to the clips they actually clip this in place this piece is plastic

42
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,760
here this piece is plastic here so you're not going to have to worry about scratching the paint off of it cuz it's

43
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:30,400
colored plastic and then these parts are metal right here power button reset

44
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,439
switch hard drive and power LED these and then this is cool as well so there's

45
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:38,360
four thumb screws here this is a dog taggy style um chunk of metal as well

46
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,239
right here that just says gx700 and antec you can actually take it off if

47
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:47,799
you really wanted to there's uh it's just folded over the back so it's not

48
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,200
really uh it's not

49
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:53,599
really uh that difficult to remove and put something else on there and then

50
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:58,680
this piece right here is actually metal as well so this is just a cover for

51
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:03,319
hopefully I can yeah there we go this is just a cover for the there you go a

52
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:08,400
removable fan filter so you can pop that out clean

53
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:11,280
it pop it back in presumably because you

54
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,120
want your computer to be clean and then you can go ahead and thread these uh

55
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,600
thread these guys back in here I wish it was a little bit easier to get at but I

56
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:26,479
do like the aesthetic of the whole sort of you know thumb screws thing with the

57
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,600
rugged looking sort of case um front IO

58
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:32,120
this is where this is where the aesthetic sort of gets away from me a little bit cuz the front is very

59
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:37,680
obviously sort of a green and black theme whereas the top is mostly black

60
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:43,639
but then it's actually got green on the front IO so you can see two USB 3 2 USB

61
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:45,000
2 uh microphone headphone and this is

62
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:48,800
kind of cool actually this one I like here's the fan speed controller low

63
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,960
medium and high it has three switches for the integrated controller I just I

64
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:56,240
wish that this was green or something like that so that it looked more like

65
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,479
black with green accents right now it's just sort of black and then you've got a

66
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:03,360
little bit of green you could fix that up by putting like some spray painted

67
00:05:01,479 --> 00:05:07,600
green fans under here or something like that then it would actually look pretty

68
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:13,440
cool so let's go ahead and have a look at the side which is black and the other

69
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:18,759
side which is also black you've got a 120 mm fan Mount here those fan mounts

70
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:23,039
in the top were 120/40 so you could do either a 120 or a 140 mil fan seven

71
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,720
expansion slots that's pretty standard bottom mounted power supply and then

72
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:33,360
you've got kind of a thing going on here forget how this works

73
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,360
I think you push it here and then it should there we go so that gives you

74
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,960
access to all the thumb screws back there so you just kind of oh hold on

75
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:48,800
switch to the wrong thing there we go are we good is that the right

76
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:51,520
thing ah ah what's going on there we go

77
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,319
okay good for some reason it's really really

78
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:57,080
dark we'll be back there we go we got

79
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:00,039
that fixed sorry about that guys it's a black case and it's a black table and

80
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,120
then there's a button right here that you press to get access to the thumb

81
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,880
screws so that you can toolless put in

82
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,639
PCI cards or whatever else you want also I made a mistake on the price point

83
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:17,960
before as was pointed out by both Diesel and Slick who told me that it's actually

84
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,319
59 so it's a $60 case and there's a 120

85
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:24,919
mil fan in the back so it's got three fans included which is already if you

86
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,520
you know buy fans they do cost money so

87
00:06:24,919 --> 00:06:31,919
that's already something like a you know at least $20 value depending what kind

88
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,880
of fans you're buying so there you go side panel yeah it has some Flex to it

89
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,479
however it does have reinforcements here here and here in the typical sort of

90
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,759
antech fashion so you always know something built by antech is going to be

91
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:48,240
wellb built it's not just going to be sort of like a flimsy piece of metal

92
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:54,800
attached to another flimsy piece of metal interior wise we see the layout of

93
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,280
this case really start to shine here so

94
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,479
you've got the staple an Tech uh 3 and 1

95
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:04,039
half in Drive cages they're actually accessible from the other side panel on

96
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:08,160
this particular case I'm going to take off the thumb screws at the back here

97
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,080
and show you how they slide out from the other side here we go other side panel

98
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:17,800
is identical to the first one except that it's doesn't have the 120 mm fan

99
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,759
Mount here we go instructions pull them

100
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:24,680
out here so once you put a hard drive in the in these they will stiffen up

101
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,199
significantly and you can see it's got little uh little dots in here so those

102
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,560
will go into the hard drives they are completely toolless I kind of wish

103
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:35,479
they'd give you the option to screw them in um you can see there are no holes in

104
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,120
the side here you can also easily mount a 2 and 1/2 in drive on here uh by using

105
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,720
the holes that are in the bottom so you've got five hard drive sleds right

106
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:49,039
there and then uh since we're at the back anyway you can also see the

107
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:53,840
toolless mechanism for the 5 and a/4 inch Baye this is just operated by

108
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:57,879
twisting pulling off putting back on and then locking back into place again and

109
00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:01,479
the 5 and a quar inch base do give you the option to screw in the drives a

110
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:04,840
large CPU cutout this is something that's become a bit of a standard

111
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:09,639
feature now as well as Cable Management Loops so you can see one two three Cable

112
00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:14,000
Management Loops here on the back of the motherboard tray that allows you to keep

113
00:08:11,159 --> 00:08:17,440
the cables flat which makes it easier to put the backside panel on I wouldn't

114
00:08:16,039 --> 00:08:20,919
have minded seeing a little bit more room for cable management back here so I

115
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:26,879
think you're going to have trouble running a 24 pin um up the side here

116
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:31,360
however you can see they did leave space here where it goes in to run a 24 pin so

117
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:34,479
there's lots of room for an eight pin enough room for a 24 pin next to the

118
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:41,959
mother oh okay well that's what they intended okay never mind we don't need more space so 24 pin goes here and all

119
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,279
as well in my world from the front of

120
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:48,720
the case there's not a whole lot you can see that you couldn't see from the back to be perfectly honest there's your

121
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:53,560
power supply Mount so you do have a filtered there we go intake here at the

122
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:57,120
bottom show you guys that you can pull that out replace it no big deal you've

123
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,680
got four little dots that'll hold the power supply slightly off the bottom of

124
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:05,600
the case and then you've also got like I said before rear mounted power supply

125
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,680
this holds it in Cable Management goes here and then up the sides here so

126
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:15,040
you're able to bring them out for the optical Bays for graphics cards and then

127
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,560
here for the 24 pin for the CPU I did

128
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:23,279
say before that there was room for 120 mm uh dual 120 mm liquid cooler in the

129
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:27,519
top so you would be able to do that uh there's 140 mil fans there now but the

130
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,120
mounting holes are included for 120 and then you do have enough space you can

131
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:34,160
see the top of the motherboard will be about here so there's exactly enough

132
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:39,440
space for a rad there and then if you wanted you could also add another 120 mm

133
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:42,560
fan here and it looks like there would be enough space that you wouldn't have

134
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:47,680
any interference there which is actually quite cool so thank you for checking out

135
00:09:44,839 --> 00:09:50,640
my unboxing and first look at the gx700 don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech

136
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,200
tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

137
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:01,440
videos and slick and Diesel also corrected me on another thing that I was

138
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:08,920
wrong about so the fan speed controller here is actually uh off low and high not

139
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:14,120
low medium and high so yeah sorry my bad
