1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,640
it's been a long time since I did a personal rig update and the last one

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:12,160
kind of fell flat anyways it was a rushed plan you guys didn't really like

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:16,640
it and admittedly I wasn't really into it either ever since moving away from

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:21,880
the mineral oil build the choice of case has been a difficult one I even opted

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:26,840
for trying to go with just a test bench because I was so unsatisfied with what

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,439
was currently available on the case Market I didn't want a big Gody case I

7
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:35,600
did want something that could fit an ATX motherboard however because I like

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:40,000
expansion slots I wanted it to be clean but not happy go-lucky Martha Stewart

9
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:44,559
clean more like that looks nice but also scares the absolute out of me Adam

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:49,120
Jensen style clean I wanted angles I wanted tempered glass and I wanted

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,039
Quality Construction I think I may have finally found the platform that I was

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,730
looking for and because of that I'm going to be hard on it it's time to

13
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:06,960
review the enthu Evolve ATX TG

14
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:14,640
the sound core sport XL from ankor is an IP67 rated Bluetooth speaker featuring

15
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:19,520
15 hours of Play Time 16 watts of audio output and a USB charging port for your

16
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:24,000
devices check it out at the link below the front face features the beginning of

17
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:29,000
the angular design my case came in anthracite gray but is available in

18
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:34,240
silver and black variants as well somewhat near the bottom of the indented

19
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:38,399
section of the face plate is an LED bar and at the top there's a flip cover

20
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:43,479
which reveals dual USB 3.0 ports a headphone and microphone Jack and an RGB

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,240
LED changing button which allows you to cycle through the 10 available colors

22
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,520
for the integrated LEDs and additional LEDs added on later in the form of a

23
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:59,159
fantex LED strip but this is where I'm going to get quite nitpicky for an ATX

24
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:05,799
case I would have liked to see more USB ports up front two more USB type A ports

25
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,439
as either USB 2.0 or 3.0 alongside a

26
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,920
little bit of modernization with the inclusion of a USB 3.1 type-c connector

27
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:17,080
would have been ideal it also looks like it would have been entirely possible

28
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:21,280
with a denser configuration of ports the front plate is removable by simply

29
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,560
leveraging the bottom and then the revealed fan filter is able to be

30
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,920
removed by the handle at the top or by The Squeeze mounts on the inside of the

31
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,120
case it does start a little too tight but after you remove it a few times it

32
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:37,720
gets a bit easier to use just the handle the side panels are both made of

33
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,720
tempered glass meaning your right side panel which is normally hiding your

34
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,120
cable management is now quite naked the

35
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,280
fantex mounting solution for their tempered glass is admittedly the best I

36
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:54,200
have personally used because they relentlessly built buffers of foam or

37
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:59,159
rubber between contact points that could scratch the glass this includes foam

38
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:04,239
padded thumb screws rubber wrapped female threed points and a foam lined

39
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:08,120
interior that the glass squeezes against it would have been wonderful if they

40
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,680
could have used the same mounting method they had used for the non-tempered glass

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,519
version of the Evolve because the screwless swivel Mount was fantastic but

42
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:21,599
I understand going this direction because you don't want to mess around

43
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:27,200
with tempered glass if this stuff shatters it's one hell of a job getting

44
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,040
it all cleaned up the top of the case features your power button and some

45
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:35,319
speed hole and spired venting along the angled sides with some great looking

46
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:39,400
mesh underneath the whole panel can be done away with by removing two screws at

47
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:43,360
the back and two screws at the front panel and then simply popping it off

48
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:48,519
moving inside the case you have a nicely rail mountable radiator and fan install

49
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:53,000
area up in the top but it's kind of unfortunate how far down that radiator

50
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,319
and fan setup would go covering up the top of your motherboard because of this

51
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:02,239
I would go with what I usually consider the less visually optimal position of

52
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,439
the front which by the way has a removable panel so you can extend

53
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,840
radiators down into the basement of the case putting a triple radiator up here

54
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:16,720
and removing that panel will also remove your ability to use any of the modular

55
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:21,959
Drive mounts and the Dual 3 and 1/2 in Drive Bay mounting area in the bottom so

56
00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:24,040
essentially you're stuck with three 2.5

57
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:28,880
in positions two of which are on the back of the motherboard tray and one of

58
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,720
which is beautifully displayed in the main compartment on the side of the

59
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,919
basement the back of the motherboard tray features a fan controller which is

60
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,479
a nice addition but due to it being exposed through the glass I would have

61
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,440
appreciated some type of cover to make it more aesthetically pleasing the three

62
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:48,960
velcro Cable Management straps are a wonderful touch but I would have

63
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,039
appreciated them being just a little bit longer as they seem to just barely be

64
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,759
able to hold on with some of the more populated runs and I don't even have

65
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,000
that much stuff installed and adding on to that some form of Zap strap or

66
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,919
something would have been appreciated for managing the 8 Pin CPU cable along

67
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,840
the right hand side cuz right now there's nothing inside the main area of

68
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,199
the case you have the snugly fit ATX motherboard a cool angled panel where

69
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,360
your cables can commod of through the rubber grommets and some unfortunately

70
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:23,680
not somehow covered or grommeted cable management holes for the bottom of your

71
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,360
M motherboard add-on slots and SSD Mount

72
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,960
you can fit three 120 or 140 mm fans in

73
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:36,120
the front and top of the case and one 120 or 140 mm fan in the back that

74
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:41,120
removable panel up near the front for the tall radiators can also facilitate a

75
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,120
panel that will Aid in installing pumps or reservoirs if that's your thing as

76
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,800
well then there is a cutout that reveals the side of your power supply speaking

77
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:54,960
of which I would have preferred that fantex had a different mounting solution

78
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:59,720
for this that enabled you to slide the power supply in through the back of the

79
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:04,560
case using something like a removable will bracket okay so conclusion time I

80
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,599
was hard on it I nitpicked things that I would have never even mentioned on other

81
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:15,000
cases and this was out of love from titanium grade sandblasted anodized

82
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:19,319
Coatings which look absolutely stunning while allowing you to touch it without

83
00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:24,800
having a heart attack to the refreshing ease of the entirety of the build

84
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,360
process down to the little things like including a surprisingly nice spare

85
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:31,680
screw box it's great gold star that's

86
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,840
why I'm going to use it for my personal rig the video of which will come at some

87
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:42,039
point I'm still working on getting the internals so uh yeah I wouldn't uh hold

man thank you guys for watching sorry it took so long for any mention at all of

96
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:23,080
my personal rig update I know this isn't really much of one considering all of

97
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,080
the internals and a lot of the other stuff is going to change cuz I'm going

98
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:31,120
to need to mod it for it to be a really good personal rig update but anyways if

99
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,960
you liked it like it if you disliked it dislike it get subscribed if you want to

100
00:07:32,599 --> 00:07:37,479
see future updates on this thing we have a bunch of shirts that you can pick up

101
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,440
which are great at the link of the description down below check out the Forum become a member more members on

102
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,720
there is cool it's not really growing that fast anymore because I think we hit

103
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,440
some form of like relative Peak but the community is great and that is cool if

104
00:07:48,919 --> 00:07:54,039
you want to see a cool video on a mineral oil rig that I built a long time

105
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,440
ago for myself and which helped me get this job click here
