WEBVTT 00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:12.360 welcome to my unboxing of the antech one 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:17.600 now this is yeah I know you were expecting me to say 100 after that or 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 00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:29.560 that's how many years ante has been 00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:32.880 uh well around no the one is the model 00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:35.360 number not the 25 no 100 the one so what 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 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.120 ventilation sturdy construction we hope 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 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.320 much my expectation um even on their value cases they really don't make 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 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.479 now they have opted for a hard foam 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.000 versus um versus a soft foam which is 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 00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:19.080 we can forgive them for it because nobody should be loading up you know 60 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 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:28.079 basic system you want it to be ATX compatible so not not matx but you want 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:35.759 something fairly small with good ventilation Etc Etc so here is the an 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.640 actually that's not bad it looks kind of 00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:42.479 like the um it looks kind of like a more upto-date 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 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.159 our Tech tips video editing machine so I 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 00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:01.479 Tech tips episode on thermal management where we took a crappy case and we uh s 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:05.840 we swapped it out for the 300 in order to demonstrate how much cooler your PC 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:11.080 can run if you have a case that is designed for optimal Cooling and there 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:16.160 it is all right so let's start with the externals we've got thumb 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.920 screws securing the side panels we have as I mentioned before ample ventilation 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 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 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:36.760 a value case like this that is a great thing to see reset switch power switch 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:43.720 headphones and microphone ports okay we've got a 120 mm cooling 00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:46.360 fan included in the top as well as a 00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:51.400 spot for what appears to be A40 mm fan on the side give me a sec 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:55.040 that might be 120 sorry guys it was just the styling of the honeycomb mesh that 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 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:04.480 this case are 12 you can see it uses uh 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:08.360 this sort of punched out style of design it still looks fairly Sleek you can see 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 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.760 reason for that is it gives you space for this fan here without interfering 00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:21.239 with your graphics card and gives you space for taller CPU coolers so there's 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:25.799 a very practical reason why they've done that all right oh yeah sorry I never 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 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.159 seen one of those in a while very 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 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:43.200 spot for your parallel port which is evidently labeled Venus for some reason 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 00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:51.360 back water cooling grommets which you're not very likely to use because you're 00:03:49.959 --> 00:03:56.079 probably going to get one of those integrated liquid cooling things like 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 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.920 very nice to see anch is still not neglecting awesome features like bottom 00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:09.959 mounted power supplies even on a value case and we move to the inside so here 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 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 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:21.680 the floor or table wherever you put it there's also a fan filter that is 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.680 removable here for your power supply intake fan so you can have air coming in 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.720 here cooling your power supply and going directly out and air also coming in here 00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:36.560 to cool your graphics card or whatever ever else happens to be in this General 00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:37.880 vicinity this is an invaluable include 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.000 you know I've always liked the word invaluable well hated it really because 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:49.280 the word invaluable implies that it has no value but you say invaluable to mean 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:53.280 very valuable so what's the dealo okay 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:54.759 so here is your USB 3 to usb2 adapter so 00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:59.880 if you are putting together a value system that does not have a usb3 header 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:05.160 for those front usb3 you can just hook them up as USB 2 with the included 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:07.520 adapter thank you antech that is a very 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:13.680 fantastic inclusion also got a piece of paper thank you for that as well and 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.000 then we have a large CPU cutout so 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:19.199 that's so you can install pretty much any cooler you want without actually 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.800 removing the motherboard from the case there's your 120 mil fan plugs in with a 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:28.600 three pin header look at all these black cables anex is getting stylish look at 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:32.240 that also black cables for that guy so the only cooling that is included with 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:37.520 the cases the top and the back but you can still install as I mentioned before 00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:39.240 here here and on the side panel in order 00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:44.479 to get additional cooling now uh how does this work 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 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:54.000 their toolless Drive configuration is to set up there's the back panel by the way 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.919 also got that bulge thing going on for 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:01.280 additional room for cable management in this case just going to lay that down as 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:05.720 a test of how easy their tooless configuration is I am going to figure it 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.800 out on camera the only thing I was doing off camera there was fetching myself 00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:15.160 some drives to install so here we go 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 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:25.720 fantastic all right now we're going to put these here 00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:34.520 presumably okay and then we're going to put these 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:38.800 here presumably 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 00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:53.360 seasoned veterans at installing this particular toolless drive system and 00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:56.199 whoops bam love it so from the front 00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.039 looks like this got like you know some cool honeycom ventilation looking thing 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 00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:08.879 that's been a problem with some cheaper cases in shipping with hard drives this 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.520 one you shouldn't have that issue although I'd feel a little bit better if 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 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 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.560 guess that oh fascinating so they've put this in in order to keep the motherboard 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 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 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 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 00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:47.800 shipping or whatever else oh that's cool all we've got lots of cable 00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:51.479 management tie down places here you can run your eight pin up here you run your 00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:55.840 24 pin through the nice big one here that can also go to your Optical drives 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 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 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.560 you just screw those up from the bottom there and install your SSD I think that 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.440 pretty much oh no they included uh internal connectors sorry guys that was 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:22.000 close and 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 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:30.720 audio USB 3 which as you may recall can 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:34.760 be converted power LED hard drive LED power switch and reset switch there are 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.599 all your included cables you should probably route them 00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:43.279 through here and then take them to 00:08:43.920 --> 00:08:48.959 wherever they need to go which is probably 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:57.480 here coil those up nice and tight get them all running through the cable 00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:59.959 management Loops at the back and it should look little something like that 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 00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:10.079 subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and there's the tool 00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:12.640 list 5 and a/ qu in mechanism and other 00:09:10.079 --> 00:09:16.399 computer videos sorry guys I realized I never showed you how to install the 120 00:09:14.839 --> 00:09:23.959 mil fan in the front so it comes with included screws see those two longer 00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:26.880 ones so there's two bumps two screws bam 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 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:35.079 get off you just try not to drop the 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.760 case while 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 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.480 problem
