I don't know about you but I am sick of the same old Brands raising their prices
whenever they feel like it I think it's time to move on to someone new someone
hungrier with fire in their belly wait I
know red dragon um actually there's only
one D so wouldn't it be red dragon or red
dragon no red dragon and they make more
than just budget oriented peripherals these days they have such a broad lineup
including PC components that we could easily build a sick battle
station and save some money by ditching the mainstream carriers and flying
Scarlet Drake the only question is does Red Dragons still just focus on stuff
you'd buy for your little brother or have they leveled up to manufacturing
gear you'd want to buy for yourself just like I've leveled up this segue to our
sponsor signal RGB ditch the proprietary software and control the RGB lighting of
over a 100 brands using a single clean
interface with hundreds of effects and game Integrations check it out using our

today red dragon makes a lot of what we're going to need to complete our
setup but they don't make everything so we're going to start with a speed round
of the parts that invoke smog without being red dragon TM if you know what I
mean starting with the AMD ryzen 7 5800
x3d team Red's am4 gaming Beast okay
we've also got an Asus b450m Dragon
motherboard it's called dragon and it's red 32 gigs of gskill ddr4 at 2600 megat
transfer per second Bridges look so fine they get donkey excited and of course an
adata xpg sx8100 NP SSD that uh if you
squint the logo looks like a
dragon no squint squint more moving on
while red dragon does actually make some older RAM and SSD products for markets
like Brazil in India we struggled to find a source that both had them in
stock and was able to ship them to us and besides we wanted to focus more on
the parts that you might actually consider for your next rig like this
case the GC 2118m grind off an option that seems to
be available in Far More regions
huh that's actually pretty roomy for an matx chassis and it features tempered
glass on both the side and front for a
180° view 180 red dragon not 270 math
s's aside this thing looks kind of decent it's got a removable fan filter
on the top it's got these reverse airflow fans so that you don't have to
look at the ugly backs side of the Hub and oh that's interesting these two fans
are actually one unit so the convenient
part is that you can plug them in with just one cable but the inconvenient part
is that you can't separate them and put them somewhere else got a fan Mount down
here that'll draw a fresh air in from another filtered intake on the bottom
and oh look at that it's even compatible with back to front
motherboards I kind of like it now that that's all in there and looking pretty
good I might add it's time for cooling which is going to be handled by the HL
360 AR argb CCW 3014 argb okay we got a
complete completely different product from what we ordered but it looks the
same it looks like a generic AI cooler
which makes sense because it's kind of a generic AO cooler I do like though that
red dragon has helpful graphics on the product page that show the size and flow
path for the radiator and I also like the infinity mirror and included fluid
Dynamic bearing fans with that said
looking at their claims about the pump I'm not sure if I can believe that they
mirror is truly infinite or that their bearings
are truly fluidly Dynamic 20 DB since
I'm complaining red dragon your website I have some notes that desperate little
animation on the add to cart button that is super annoying I understand how
online shopping works you guys and I will add this thing to my cart when I am
gosh danged ready also while there is no
one right way to run a company that ships all around the world there there
are wrong ways and having very different websites for different regions with then
separated product focused and sales focused sites makes buying directly from
you a very low confidence experience
also while we're at it can you please clearly Mark the products or even entire
categories that you no longer sell I was quite disappointed to find out that none
of these gaming chairs were available at least we can still get power supplies
like the red dragon PSU 007 an 80 plus
gold 850 W ATX fully modular power
supply with 80 plus gold certified
compact 160 mm size and low noise RGB
fan Zer RPM comma 100% Japanese capacitors comma full mod cables and no
I didn't just read out the entire description in textback that is the
title of this power supply on their web page wow that title really drags
on jokes about the title aside this is actually a reasonably compelling looking
package and it doesn't immediately feel cheap and garbage maybe we'll have to
have the lab take a look at it and make up a little test report David do you think we could do that heck yeah sounds
good look at it's even got the 12vt 2x6 connector and everything fully
modular just need to finish up the cable
management don't look at that uh instead look at this the one last part we have
for our build that is not made by Red Dragon as they don't currently make
graphics cards although we did notice that there is a GPU option in their drop
down that doesn't go anywhere yet so I don't know what's
going on with that maybe they just have a member on their team who really wishes
that they made gpus or maybe they have a member on their team who really just
doesn't care about managing their website either way we went with this Red
Devil 5700 XT from powercolor
what Devils have horns dragons have horns besides once it's all together
who's going to call me on it that looks pretty good doesn't it great job red
dragon and adjacent let's fire it up oh
before we can do that we're going to need some peripherals we couldn't find a
ton of information at least in English on the coral 2 Gaming monitor what does
coral have to do with Dragons exactly more than the PSU O7 80 plus gold okay
okay okay I get it any who it's 14 40p
apparently overclocks to 180 HZ with a 1
millisecond response time ow and the
website says VA curved or IPS but claims
a 1,00 to1 contrast ratio meaning I
guess it's IPS oh that's the coral one
so it's IPS probably VA that is a cheap
ugly power brick oh wow yeah and that is
a not height adjustable stand oh this one at least has DisplayPort well the
corl one not is on the website it says VGA and HDMI I don't know if that's true
because their website is very unreliable big
moment hey all the RGB Works let's
go those of you wondering by the way uh
yes I reversed that one fan on purpose nocta posted a blog post recently where
they found that um intaking air right at
the top front of the case and then immediately exhausting it was actually
detrimental for cooling so I was like why don't we try having three intakes at
the front and then two at the back for positive pressure and to avoid that
situation now I just need some inputs and for that we've got oh good three
anime products or at least two anime
products nope three anime products um
red dragon you know you don't have to put anime in the product name right I
can see that it's anime starting with the mouse pad wow do they ever make some
bold claim skin-friendly waterproof coated lint
roll are they saying that it is a lint roller or that they lint rolled it
before they shipped it to you look at this print quality oh
no that is some really unimpressive it's got texture that would be really that's
going to peel in like a week huh remember that bit recently
where Lisa Zooms in on Andrew's crotch and it's all caught in 4k when I was
feeling the texture I was like
that is a really light Mouse which is a
feature these days but also just kind of
feels cheap with that said the specs seem like it should be pretty decent it
features both Bluetooth and dongle connections with 1,000 HZ pulling rate
and it handles up to 26,000 DPI using
what is probably a pixart PW 3395 sensor
we say probably because the website doesn't really have much in the way of useful information wow this is a Vibe
already and we haven't even got the keyboard on here yet the starblade k77
pro this is probably the strongest entry from Red Dragon which kind of makes
sense because I think this is kind of how they got their start was budget
gaming keyboards in this case it operates in USBC Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz
mode it's got noise dampening foam Time
5 and actually sounds pretty darn good
according to Red Dragon it uses custom lubed linear mint Mambo switches and it
even offers a Mac and PC mode not a bad
little package how much does it cost it's currently 56 bucks on sale really I
mean definitely a little bit plasticky but in terms of how it actually feels
it's not bad and the mouse is cheaper than we thought it's like between 20 and
35 bucks depending on which variant you go with not going to lie I'm actually
feeling kind of good about this setup right now like this thing is whisper Qui
quiet at idle which sure it's idling but
a bad fan is a bad fan and it's not going to be quiet at any speed and you
know yeah obviously this isn't the world's most amazing 180 HZ display but
it's 180 freaking Hertz and the mouse feels great great for 20 bucks what is
it 25 20 it was 20 bucks on sale for the yellow one how would you like to feel a
whole lot worse okay here's some more
really not impressive looking accessories oh
that headband though it feels better
than I expected oh joy it doesn't go all the way up uh maybe in the dark it goes
up higher maybe the surge frostbite
Soundbar will be better with its oh wow
style five programmed backlight patterns
when you lead with that on your sound bar tells you that sound quality was not
your top priority uh let's go ahead and put this here and what else you got I've
got the Hitman webcam it's called the GW 800 online uh but when we got the box
it's got a different name so Au mode is
it Bluetooth oh it does about Bluetooth no way okay that makes it a little bit
more comp you know what it's kind of cool looking in an I'm 14 and no girls
have ever been to my bedroom kind of way how much is it $60 all right oh we got
to try the camera hey there we go the webcams working how do I look uh oh wow
does not like that light above me that's for sure see yeah I would say the detail
level is fairly low you can barely make out the amazing motherboard pattern on
this 64 Oz water bottle from LD store.com these headphones are horrible
I don't doubt it for one second why did we pick this game I'll give you three
guesses and the first two don't count how do the mouse and keyboard feel
honestly kind of okay I'd need to play a
competitive FPS or something to really know how the mouse is but so far it
seems great for what it is the performance of the PC doesn't really
matter because red dragon doesn't make any of the parts that contribute to that
but I am a little confused that we're running Skyrim at between 35 and 59 FPS
so it does feel a little kind of lagy I just like the sound of that keyboard I
think it sounds premium for its price oh definitely for $55 bucks red dragon
definitely looking good in their like core competencies here even this monitor
the colors are not great but the clarity is there yeah I would it doesn't look
like VA dude I think the pixel response time is too good to be VA I like this
yeah yeah it doesn't feel cheap anymore once I'm gaming it only feels cheap if
I'm like analyzing it but the clicks are nice they're balanced they're not too
light not too heavy I think the mouse is the Highlight for me yeah even though
it's full price 36 bucks that's nothing to sneeze at now seems like a good time
for us to try the
soundar yeah okay we're struggling a little bit in this game but that's just
down to the fact that we're using an older GPU overall this setup actually
seems pretty decent if we put all modern
Parts in it how much did we pay for all this it was about $690 for all the red
dragon stuff we have today really really yep all the peripherals the monitor case
cooler it's really competitively priced
I thought it was uh going to be just a joke and a tear down of Everything But
at the price that they are all this red dragon stuff's not so bad outside of the
audio stuff the mouse pad actually like feels really good I actually really like
the case too I think it feels a little cheap sure but for 80 Buck yeah for 80
bucks yeah with two tempered glass panels and pretty modern features it's
hard for me to say that I would buy them for myself with so many other options
available but it's also worth noting that red dragon seems to mostly focus on
continents not called North America from a quick browse of their product
selection in those other markets it seems like even if riding the Vermilion
worm might not make sense for everything over here although some things are
pretty good it could be a really great experience somewhere like Brazil or
India maybe leave a comment down below with your red dragon experience we're
especially curi curious about any of the categories we didn't feature like red
dragon perfume and cologne and also what appears to be a moderately successful
car detailing product line what do they just have you like like breathe fire and
burn away the dirt do they also make descalers for your coffee pot I'm just
