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

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:12.160
kind of fell flat anyways it was a rushed plan you guys didn't really like

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:16.640
it and admittedly I wasn't really into it either ever since moving away from

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:21.880
the mineral oil build the choice of case has been a difficult one I even opted

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:26.840
for trying to go with just a test bench because I was so unsatisfied with what

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.439
was currently available on the case Market I didn't want a big Gody case I

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:35.600
did want something that could fit an ATX motherboard however because I like

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:40.000
expansion slots I wanted it to be clean but not happy go-lucky Martha Stewart

00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:44.559
clean more like that looks nice but also scares the absolute out of me Adam

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:49.120
Jensen style clean I wanted angles I wanted tempered glass and I wanted

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:53.039
Quality Construction I think I may have finally found the platform that I was

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

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:06.960
review the enthu Evolve ATX TG

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:14.640
the sound core sport XL from ankor is an IP67 rated Bluetooth speaker featuring

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

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:24.000
devices check it out at the link below the front face features the beginning of

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:29.000
the angular design my case came in anthracite gray but is available in

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:34.240
silver and black variants as well somewhat near the bottom of the indented

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

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:43.479
which reveals dual USB 3.0 ports a headphone and microphone Jack and an RGB

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:48.240
LED changing button which allows you to cycle through the 10 available colors

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:53.520
for the integrated LEDs and additional LEDs added on later in the form of a

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

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

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.439
as either USB 2.0 or 3.0 alongside a

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:12.920
little bit of modernization with the inclusion of a USB 3.1 type-c connector

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:17.080
would have been ideal it also looks like it would have been entirely possible

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.280
with a denser configuration of ports the front plate is removable by simply

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.560
leveraging the bottom and then the revealed fan filter is able to be

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

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

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.720
gets a bit easier to use just the handle the side panels are both made of

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:42.720
tempered glass meaning your right side panel which is normally hiding your

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.120
cable management is now quite naked the

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.280
fantex mounting solution for their tempered glass is admittedly the best I

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:54.200
have personally used because they relentlessly built buffers of foam or

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:59.159
rubber between contact points that could scratch the glass this includes foam

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:04.239
padded thumb screws rubber wrapped female threed points and a foam lined

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.120
interior that the glass squeezes against it would have been wonderful if they

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.680
could have used the same mounting method they had used for the non-tempered glass

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.519
version of the Evolve because the screwless swivel Mount was fantastic but

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:21.599
I understand going this direction because you don't want to mess around

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:27.200
with tempered glass if this stuff shatters it's one hell of a job getting

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.040
it all cleaned up the top of the case features your power button and some

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:35.319
speed hole and spired venting along the angled sides with some great looking

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:39.400
mesh underneath the whole panel can be done away with by removing two screws at

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:43.360
the back and two screws at the front panel and then simply popping it off

00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:48.519
moving inside the case you have a nicely rail mountable radiator and fan install

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.000
area up in the top but it's kind of unfortunate how far down that radiator

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.319
and fan setup would go covering up the top of your motherboard because of this

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:02.239
I would go with what I usually consider the less visually optimal position of

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:06.439
the front which by the way has a removable panel so you can extend

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:10.840
radiators down into the basement of the case putting a triple radiator up here

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:16.720
and removing that panel will also remove your ability to use any of the modular

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

00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:24.040
essentially you're stuck with three 2.5

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:28.880
in positions two of which are on the back of the motherboard tray and one of

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:32.720
which is beautifully displayed in the main compartment on the side of the

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.919
basement the back of the motherboard tray features a fan controller which is

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:41.479
a nice addition but due to it being exposed through the glass I would have

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:45.440
appreciated some type of cover to make it more aesthetically pleasing the three

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:48.960
velcro Cable Management straps are a wonderful touch but I would have

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:54.039
appreciated them being just a little bit longer as they seem to just barely be

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

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.000
that much stuff installed and adding on to that some form of Zap strap or

00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:05.919
something would have been appreciated for managing the 8 Pin CPU cable along

00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:09.840
the right hand side cuz right now there's nothing inside the main area of

00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:13.199
the case you have the snugly fit ATX motherboard a cool angled panel where

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:18.360
your cables can commod of through the rubber grommets and some unfortunately

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:23.680
not somehow covered or grommeted cable management holes for the bottom of your

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:27.360
M motherboard add-on slots and SSD Mount

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:29.960
you can fit three 120 or 140 mm fans in

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

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:41.120
removable panel up near the front for the tall radiators can also facilitate a

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:45.120
panel that will Aid in installing pumps or reservoirs if that's your thing as

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:49.800
well then there is a cutout that reveals the side of your power supply speaking

00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:54.960
of which I would have preferred that fantex had a different mounting solution

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:59.720
for this that enabled you to slide the power supply in through the back of the

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:04.560
case using something like a removable will bracket okay so conclusion time I

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.599
was hard on it I nitpicked things that I would have never even mentioned on other

00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:15.000
cases and this was out of love from titanium grade sandblasted anodized

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:19.319
Coatings which look absolutely stunning while allowing you to touch it without

00:06:16.919 --> 00:06:24.800
having a heart attack to the refreshing ease of the entirety of the build

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:30.360
process down to the little things like including a surprisingly nice spare

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:31.680
screw box it's great gold star that's

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

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

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.080
my personal rig update I know this isn't really much of one considering all of

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:46.720
there is cool it's not really growing that fast anymore because I think we hit

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:50.440
some form of like relative Peak but the community is great and that is cool if

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

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:58.440
ago for myself and which helped me get this job click here
