00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.720
big thanks to MSI for sending us the compy Texs this year we would not be

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:09.160
here without them also thank you to linda.com all right guys welcome to the

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:13.360
random field of glowing sheep in the background where we will be checking out

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:16.199
the fractal core 500 the core 500 is basically a tuned down version of the

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.320
node 304 now why is it not called a node

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:26.000
something no one was actually able to tell me so we're moving on from there

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:31.160
the front of the case is a brushed faux aluminum actually plastic front panel

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

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.520
in and out power button with a white LED

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:44.920
a hard drive activity white LED and a reset button there's meshing pretty much

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:50.039
everywhere the front has meshing just on the side of the actual bezel uh the top

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:54.000
of the case has a large meshed area which is actually filtered and your rad

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:59.640
will probably go there the left hand side has a large meshed area as well the

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.559
bottom has a kind of not super huge but

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:06.760
also meshed area and the right hand side has a smaller meshed area moving on to

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

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:16.119
just inside the front panel just kind of before you actually get into the rest of

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

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.520
the far side of this little metal plate

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

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

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

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:43.000
2 and 1/ 12 in hard drives or ssds for

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:48.360
cooling you can install a 240 mm Radiator in the top or possibly a 280 if

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.719
it kind of fits but you're very likely going to have some compatibility issues

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

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:59.399
with one so they've got you covered there for graphics card you've got

00:01:58.039 --> 00:02:03.719
pretty much all the clearance you could want you can fit basically as long as a

00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:08.239
graphics card as you would like but you may have noticed by now that the power

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

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.879
don't actually see a large power supply spacing at the back of the case although

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:19.400
you do see an input for power supply power without one even being installed

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

00:02:22.519 --> 00:02:29.519
supply actually gets installed much closer to the front under that 5 and 1/4

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

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

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:39.440
Luke LFR also her Ask Josh about it Josh

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:44.040
isn't here at computex this year I wanted to talk to him about what the

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.400
core 500 was like but I couldn't cuz he

00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:46.400
wasn't

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

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.560
the reason why we're actually here they have a whole bunch of cool stuff that

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:05.080
they're launching at compex as well check that out in the bitly link in the description down below and that includes

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:09.879
a bunch of laptops with Broadwell processors and stuff like that also

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:13.599
