1
00:00:07,399 --> 00:00:12,360
welcome to my unboxing of the antech one

2
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:17,600
now this is yeah I know you were expecting me to say 100 after that or

3
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:25,720
something right no no no this is just the antech 25 no no no not the antech 25

4
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:29,560
that's how many years ante has been

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,880
uh well around no the one is the model

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,360
number not the 25 no 100 the one so what

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,480
is the one all about the one is all about an up-to-date feature set good

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,120
ventilation sturdy construction we hope

9
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,920
we're about to find out that for sure although if it's antech that's pretty

10
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,320
much my expectation um even on their value cases they really don't make

11
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:03,960
anything flimsy I mean look at this they're still using double walled cardboard even for a value Orient case

12
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,479
now they have opted for a hard foam

13
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:10,000
versus um versus a soft foam which is

14
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:14,439
not my preferred way of doing things but given this is a more value case I think

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:19,080
we can forgive them for it because nobody should be loading up you know 60

16
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:23,640
lbs worth of computer hardware in a case like this this is more for you need a

17
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,079
basic system you want it to be ATX compatible so not not matx but you want

18
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:35,759
something fairly small with good ventilation Etc Etc so here is the an

19
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,640
actually that's not bad it looks kind of

20
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,479
like the um it looks kind of like a more upto-date

21
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:47,680
300 um actually we've got a 300 over there that's serving us quite well as

22
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:50,159
our Tech tips video editing machine so I

23
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:55,719
I do personally believe in the in fact that is the 300 that was part of the NC

24
00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:01,479
Tech tips episode on thermal management where we took a crappy case and we uh s

25
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:05,840
we swapped it out for the 300 in order to demonstrate how much cooler your PC

26
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:11,080
can run if you have a case that is designed for optimal Cooling and there

27
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:16,160
it is all right so let's start with the externals we've got thumb

28
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:19,920
screws securing the side panels we have as I mentioned before ample ventilation

29
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,400
so here in the front we have a spot for our 120 mm cooling fan we also have

30
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:31,519
three 5 and 1/4 in base your antech logo your just nice Sleek lines USB 3 bam on

31
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:36,760
a value case like this that is a great thing to see reset switch power switch

32
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:43,720
headphones and microphone ports okay we've got a 120 mm cooling

33
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,360
fan included in the top as well as a

34
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:51,400
spot for what appears to be A40 mm fan on the side give me a sec

35
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:55,040
that might be 120 sorry guys it was just the styling of the honeycomb mesh that

36
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:01,879
confused me a little bit that is for a 120 mm fan so almost all of the fans in

37
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:04,480
this case are 12 you can see it uses uh

38
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:08,360
this sort of punched out style of design it still looks fairly Sleek you can see

39
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:13,120
from the front it's very Arrow Dynamic but from the back it's more wide and the

40
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,760
reason for that is it gives you space for this fan here without interfering

41
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,239
with your graphics card and gives you space for taller CPU coolers so there's

42
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,799
a very practical reason why they've done that all right oh yeah sorry I never

43
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:31,360
finished on the back so on the back we find an included IO Shield I haven't

44
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,159
seen one of those in a while very

45
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,159
nice and I see it's not any more up to date than they used to be there's your

46
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:43,200
spot for your parallel port which is evidently labeled Venus for some reason

47
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:48,159
sure whatever man okay and then we've got a 120 or 92 or 80 mil fan in the

48
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,360
back water cooling grommets which you're not very likely to use because you're

49
00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:56,079
probably going to get one of those integrated liquid cooling things like

50
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,920
the 620 or the 920 then you've got seven PCI slots a bottom mounted power supply

51
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,920
very nice to see anch is still not neglecting awesome features like bottom

52
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,959
mounted power supplies even on a value case and we move to the inside so here

53
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:14,480
is the one spot in the case where you can put a 140 mm fan as a bottom intake

54
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,680
using the feed on the bottom you can see it's lifted up a fair amount off the off

55
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,680
the floor or table wherever you put it there's also a fan filter that is

56
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:25,680
removable here for your power supply intake fan so you can have air coming in

57
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,720
here cooling your power supply and going directly out and air also coming in here

58
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:36,560
to cool your graphics card or whatever ever else happens to be in this General

59
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,880
vicinity this is an invaluable include

60
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,000
you know I've always liked the word invaluable well hated it really because

61
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:49,280
the word invaluable implies that it has no value but you say invaluable to mean

62
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:53,280
very valuable so what's the dealo okay

63
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:54,759
so here is your USB 3 to usb2 adapter so

64
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,880
if you are putting together a value system that does not have a usb3 header

65
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:05,160
for those front usb3 you can just hook them up as USB 2 with the included

66
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,520
adapter thank you antech that is a very

67
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:13,680
fantastic inclusion also got a piece of paper thank you for that as well and

68
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,000
then we have a large CPU cutout so

69
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,199
that's so you can install pretty much any cooler you want without actually

70
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,800
removing the motherboard from the case there's your 120 mil fan plugs in with a

71
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:28,600
three pin header look at all these black cables anex is getting stylish look at

72
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,240
that also black cables for that guy so the only cooling that is included with

73
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:37,520
the cases the top and the back but you can still install as I mentioned before

74
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:39,240
here here and on the side panel in order

75
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:44,479
to get additional cooling now uh how does this work

76
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:49,039
fascinating you know what I'll be back in a moment now as a test of how easy

77
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,000
their toolless Drive configuration is to set up there's the back panel by the way

78
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,919
also got that bulge thing going on for

79
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,280
additional room for cable management in this case just going to lay that down as

80
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,720
a test of how easy their tooless configuration is I am going to figure it

81
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,800
out on camera the only thing I was doing off camera there was fetching myself

82
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:15,160
some drives to install so here we go

83
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:21,280
okay hey look at that they're including drive rails with like a $60 case that's

84
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:25,720
fantastic all right now we're going to put these here

85
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:34,520
presumably okay and then we're going to put these

86
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:38,800
here presumably

87
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,919
bam let's do one more just to show how quickly we can do it now that we are

88
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:53,360
seasoned veterans at installing this particular toolless drive system and

89
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:56,199
whoops bam love it so from the front

90
00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:01,039
looks like this got like you know some cool honeycom ventilation looking thing

91
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:05,080
going on from the back you can see it's riveted in okay should be quite strong

92
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:08,879
that's been a problem with some cheaper cases in shipping with hard drives this

93
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:12,520
one you shouldn't have that issue although I'd feel a little bit better if

94
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,440
you could screw them in but I guess they're not really going anywhere once you have a side panel closed on this

95
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:23,440
side this is interesting so this is like a big like rubber thing going on so I

96
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,560
guess that oh fascinating so they've put this in in order to keep the motherboard

97
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,879
tray cuz you see they cut out so much of it for that enlarged CPU Cooler they

98
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,199
wanted to reinforce it in some way so once you put a motherboard on here it's

99
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:39,400
not going this way but in order to keep it from flexing they've got this RI

100
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:43,479
riging it up I know rigid isn't a word but making it more rigid uh during

101
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,800
shipping or whatever else oh that's cool all we've got lots of cable

102
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:51,479
management tie down places here you can run your eight pin up here you run your

103
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,840
24 pin through the nice big one here that can also go to your Optical drives

104
00:07:53,039 --> 00:08:02,759
which are tooless more cable management Hooks and you can accept up to 1 2 3 4 5

105
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,960
3 and 1/2 in drives and there's an SSD mounting spot down here at the bottom so

106
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,560
you just screw those up from the bottom there and install your SSD I think that

107
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,440
pretty much oh no they included uh internal connectors sorry guys that was

108
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:22,000
close and

109
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:28,319
Voom wait this parrot wouldn't Voom if you put 4 million volts through it uh HD

110
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:30,720
audio USB 3 which as you may recall can

111
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:34,760
be converted power LED hard drive LED power switch and reset switch there are

112
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:37,599
all your included cables you should probably route them

113
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,279
through here and then take them to

114
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,959
wherever they need to go which is probably

115
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:57,480
here coil those up nice and tight get them all running through the cable

116
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,959
management Loops at the back and it should look little something like that

117
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:05,240
but better so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ante 1 don't forget to

118
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:10,079
subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and there's the tool

119
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,640
list 5 and a/ qu in mechanism and other

120
00:09:10,079 --> 00:09:16,399
computer videos sorry guys I realized I never showed you how to install the 120

121
00:09:14,839 --> 00:09:23,959
mil fan in the front so it comes with included screws see those two longer

122
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:26,880
ones so there's two bumps two screws bam

123
00:09:23,959 --> 00:09:32,000
120 mm fan goes there and that's what it looks like from the inside it's easy to

124
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:35,079
get off you just try not to drop the

125
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,760
case while

126
00:09:35,079 --> 00:09:43,480
you do that and then if you want to take it off you just pull on it like that no

127
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:43,480
problem
