00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,720
big thanks to MSI for sending us the compy Texs this year we would not be

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,160
here without them also thank you to linda.com all right guys welcome to the

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,360
random field of glowing sheep in the background where we will be checking out

4
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,199
the fractal core 500 the core 500 is basically a tuned down version of the

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,320
node 304 now why is it not called a node

6
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:26,000
something no one was actually able to tell me so we're moving on from there

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,160
the front of the case is a brushed faux aluminum actually plastic front panel

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:37,719
with a surprising 5 and a 1 Quin Bay in terms of IO you've got two USB 3.0 audio

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,520
in and out power button with a white LED

10
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:44,920
a hard drive activity white LED and a reset button there's meshing pretty much

11
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:50,039
everywhere the front has meshing just on the side of the actual bezel uh the top

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,000
of the case has a large meshed area which is actually filtered and your rad

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:59,640
will probably go there the left hand side has a large meshed area as well the

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,559
bottom has a kind of not super huge but

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:06,760
also meshed area and the right hand side has a smaller meshed area moving on to

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,920
the inside of the case there's tons of storage there's one two and 1/2 in Bay

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:16,119
just inside the front panel just kind of before you actually get into the rest of

18
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:22,200
the case then on the far right hand side there's two more 2 and 1/2 in slots on

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,520
the far side of this little metal plate

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:29,680
and then on the inner side there's two 3 and 1/2 in Bays for uh hard drives and

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,040
then just below the 5 and 1/4 in Bay in the front there's one more hard drive

22
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:40,720
spot leaving you with three spots for 3 and 1/2 in hard drives and two spots for

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,000
2 and 1/ 12 in hard drives or ssds for

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:48,360
cooling you can install a 240 mm Radiator in the top or possibly a 280 if

25
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:51,719
it kind of fits but you're very likely going to have some compatibility issues

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,240
there in the back of the case you can fit a 140 mm fan but it already comes

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,399
with one so they've got you covered there for graphics card you've got

28
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:03,719
pretty much all the clearance you could want you can fit basically as long as a

29
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:08,239
graphics card as you would like but you may have noticed by now that the power

30
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:12,120
supply positioning is a little bit weird it's not at the back of the case you

31
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,879
don't actually see a large power supply spacing at the back of the case although

32
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:19,400
you do see an input for power supply power without one even being installed

33
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:24,120
there that's because there's an extension or a pass through that goes throughout the case and your power

34
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:29,519
supply actually gets installed much closer to the front under that 5 and 1/4

35
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:32,200
in Bay kind of on the right hand side what do you guys think about the core

36
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:37,599
500 let me know in the comments down below over on the Forum or on Twitter at

37
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,440
Luke LFR also her Ask Josh about it Josh

38
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:44,040
isn't here at computex this year I wanted to talk to him about what the

39
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,400
core 500 was like but I couldn't cuz he

40
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
wasn't

41
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,959
here anyways thanks to MSI for sending us here this year there's a huge part of

42
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,560
the reason why we're actually here they have a whole bunch of cool stuff that

44
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:09,879
