00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:13.480
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the antech

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:19.320
gx700 now you might have noticed that this box is an antech 900 box so we

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:24.400
actually got our sample scent before the gx700 had a proper retail box or

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

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

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

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.520
everything is is okay oh wait no okay I

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

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:57.760
inside uh a 900 box or something and

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:05.880
we're just going to have to be creative about this and open it up

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:10.880
because there we go go away 900 box Hulk

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.880
rip with my thumb that hurts a lot

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:17.159
now ah ah there we

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:25.880
go it's sort of like a birthing

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:27.840
process one case born of another case

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:32.280
that is not actually related to it in any way which is like a Divine miracle

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

00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:42.799
are going to start unboxing it we should just restart the video here because this

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:46.840
is ridiculous there we go so this is

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:49.399
aimed to be the every gamer case it has

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:55.000
the features that people want so it has things like top mounted radiator support

00:01:52.680 --> 00:02:00.560
dual 120 there's a piece of foam that will apparently do something right there

00:01:58.119 --> 00:02:04.240
okay uh hard foam on the outside this is a value oriented

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.879
case although when you do see the feature list I know that we saw this

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:14.959
case in the antech suite at CES and we all guessed higher numbers for the MSRP

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:16.200
than it actually is ouch this is a

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.879
reviewer's guide it's okay I've been briefed on this already

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

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.080
heavy so hopefully it's not going to cause any problems in shipping the one

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.840
place where I would kind of pause all right the one thing that would give me

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:37.840
pause it would be shipping a fully loaded gx700 in the stock box I don't

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:43.120
know how comfortable I'd be with that because um the additional weight of the

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.560
components inside does add additional

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

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

00:02:52.000 --> 00:03:00.080
hold on you're going to notice something here whoa you hear that sound that's

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:04.159
because these front covers are are actually made of metal on this casee

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

00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:15.200
panel on a okay I'm just going to give away the surprise on a

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:16.879
$69 case so very cool and there's some

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:20.440
functionality to the clips they actually clip this in place this piece is plastic

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

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:30.400
colored plastic and then these parts are metal right here power button reset

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

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:38.360
four thumb screws here this is a dog taggy style um chunk of metal as well

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:42.239
right here that just says gx700 and antec you can actually take it off if

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

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:50.200
really uh it's not

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:53.599
really uh that difficult to remove and put something else on there and then

00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:58.680
this piece right here is actually metal as well so this is just a cover for

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

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:08.400
removable fan filter so you can pop that out clean

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:11.280
it pop it back in presumably because you

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.120
want your computer to be clean and then you can go ahead and thread these uh

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

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:26.479
do like the aesthetic of the whole sort of you know thumb screws thing with the

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:27.600
rugged looking sort of case um front IO

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

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:37.680
obviously sort of a green and black theme whereas the top is mostly black

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

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.000
2 uh microphone headphone and this is

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.800
kind of cool actually this one I like here's the fan speed controller low

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.960
medium and high it has three switches for the integrated controller I just I

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.240
wish that this was green or something like that so that it looked more like

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

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:03.360
little bit of green you could fix that up by putting like some spray painted

00:05:01.479 --> 00:05:07.600
green fans under here or something like that then it would actually look pretty

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

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

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

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:27.720
expansion slots that's pretty standard bottom mounted power supply and then

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:33.360
you've got kind of a thing going on here forget how this works

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

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.960
access to all the thumb screws back there so you just kind of oh hold on

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:48.800
switch to the wrong thing there we go are we good is that the right

00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:51.520
thing ah ah what's going on there we go

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.319
okay good for some reason it's really really

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:57.080
dark we'll be back there we go we got

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

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:05.120
then there's a button right here that you press to get access to the thumb

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:07.880
screws so that you can toolless put in

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.639
PCI cards or whatever else you want also I made a mistake on the price point

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

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.319
59 so it's a $60 case and there's a 120

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

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:27.520
you know buy fans they do cost money so

00:06:24.919 --> 00:06:31.919
that's already something like a you know at least $20 value depending what kind

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

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:40.479
however it does have reinforcements here here and here in the typical sort of

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:44.759
antech fashion so you always know something built by antech is going to be

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

00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:54.800
attached to another flimsy piece of metal interior wise we see the layout of

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:58.280
this case really start to shine here so

00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:00.479
you've got the staple an Tech uh 3 and 1

00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:04.039
half in Drive cages they're actually accessible from the other side panel on

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.160
this particular case I'm going to take off the thumb screws at the back here

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

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

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.759
Mount here we go instructions pull them

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

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.199
significantly and you can see it's got little uh little dots in here so those

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.560
will go into the hard drives they are completely toolless I kind of wish

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

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

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:45.720
the holes that are in the bottom so you've got five hard drive sleds right

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:49.039
there and then uh since we're at the back anyway you can also see the

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:53.840
toolless mechanism for the 5 and a/4 inch Baye this is just operated by

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:57.879
twisting pulling off putting back on and then locking back into place again and

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

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:04.840
large CPU cutout this is something that's become a bit of a standard

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:09.639
feature now as well as Cable Management Loops so you can see one two three Cable

00:08:08.039 --> 00:08:14.000
Management Loops here on the back of the motherboard tray that allows you to keep

00:08:11.159 --> 00:08:17.440
the cables flat which makes it easier to put the backside panel on I wouldn't

00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:20.919
have minded seeing a little bit more room for cable management back here so I

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:26.879
think you're going to have trouble running a 24 pin um up the side here

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

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

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

00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:43.279
as well in my world from the front of

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

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:53.560
power supply Mount so you do have a filtered there we go intake here at the

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

00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:01.680
got four little dots that'll hold the power supply slightly off the bottom of

00:08:58.760 --> 00:09:05.600
the case and then you've also got like I said before rear mounted power supply

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.680
this holds it in Cable Management goes here and then up the sides here so

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:15.040
you're able to bring them out for the optical Bays for graphics cards and then

00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:17.560
here for the 24 pin for the CPU I did

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

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

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:30.120
mounting holes are included for 120 and then you do have enough space you can

00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:34.160
see the top of the motherboard will be about here so there's exactly enough

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

00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:42.560
fan here and it looks like there would be enough space that you wouldn't have

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:47.680
any interference there which is actually quite cool so thank you for checking out

00:09:44.839 --> 00:09:50.640
my unboxing and first look at the gx700 don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech

00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:53.200
tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:01.440
videos and slick and Diesel also corrected me on another thing that I was

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:08.920
wrong about so the fan speed controller here is actually uh off low and high not

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:14.120
low medium and high so yeah sorry my bad
