Linus to save 10% so NZXT brought us here to check out
this case it doesn't have a name it doesn't have a price point um but that
part of it was designed after a car a nice car that's why on the top of the
case you'll see a little bit of a divot um personally that's all I can find in
terms of why it looks like a car but there's some other cool things about it
as well all of the panels are curved steel they're saying that this is the
first time this has happened with a computer case I don't know of any other
ones that have curved steel I know some ones that have curved plastic so they
may be right that kind of a window not really a window cuz it's solid black
will eventually be either a clear window a tinted window or no window at all
depending on what model you get the crazy NZXT deck all over it that makes
it look like a new car announcement uh will be removed on the model that you
buy and it will be a very solid color and they're also going to be launching
in a potential matte white look which could be pretty cool the front and right
hand side of the case are fairly self-explanatory the bottom has two
bowed legs with some rubber feet on it to help it so it not slide around your
table the back of the case is fairly self-explanatory again but we learned
some information here again enxt told us basically nothing but you can see it's
probably an mitx board with a standard ATX power supply peering in through the
back I learned a few things that I can make as assumptions but one disclaimer I
have to put here is one of the reasons why they didn't show us the inside of the case is all of this is subject to
change it did look like there was a basement it did look like there was two
140 mm fans in the front and maybe
mounting holes for 140 or 120 in the top
I definitely saw mounting holes for 14 40 and 120 but no fans up there and in
the back there was mounting holes and a fan which was 120 mm also on the back I
see a little switch that leads right to a circuit board which I'm going to
assume is for maybe a mini Hue
controller so you can control lighting inside the case although I'm not
entirely sure that could also be for a fan controller but I don't it's just
click in or click out I'm not sure we'll have to see once they actually announce
it on January 26 just as a note for you
guys also so I think that I saw some header cables for fans just laying
inside the case meaning that they probably have some version of a grid I
wouldn't be that surprised if they included other things that they've made
within this case jumping back to the outside there's a removable fan filter
for the power supply just in case you want it to be intaking from the bottom
up on top of the case there's two USB 3.0 ports a power button on the left
hand side and two audio jacks 3.5 mm
ones for headphone and microphone just ahead of those headphone and mic
microphone jacks there is also a little bit of a covered part which is probably
going to be impossible to really pick up in the fancy b-roll here but there is
probably going to be a little activity light there whatever they decide to call
this thing it's fairly interesting it's not the standard take that we've been
seeing lately for an ITX case traditionally with ITX cases we've been
getting smaller and smaller this one actually takes it up a notch is that a
good thing I don't know I see a lot of people these days going for ITX because
they don't need any more that and it's totally fine for everything that they
need because there's no overclocking differences or anything else this seems to be an interesting take on an ITX case
I'm definitely going to have to see it more properly Hands-On in the office
when I can actually look at the inside of it but just by looking at its size it
could maybe be a little bit smaller especially because it doesn't have any OD slots but that could be a stylistic
thing for you people lately are going for ITX systems not necessarily just
because they're small but because they don't need any more than one expansion
slot so we'll have to see what people do with it it's an interesting case
nonetheless and Z xt's take on an ITX case is actually kind of interesting
lately what we've been seeing in this department is just smaller and smaller and smaller and cram everything in as
small as a space you can and hopefully it can cool itself uh but the cooling on
this guy is supposed to be comparable to some of their other much larger cases
and if you're someone who's going for an ITX system just cuz you don't need more
than one expansion card you might still want a big nice window and a fancy
looking case and hey maybe that's applicable we'll have to see on the 26
thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring us here at CES 2016 this year just a
little tidbit our company website is hosted on Squarespace so we also
wouldn't have that website if it wasn't for Squarespace I don't know if whatever
you can host your company website on Squarespace pretty easily it's not a
hard system to use and if you need help they have 247 live chat and email
support they have a whole bunch of different templates they also have
Commerce modules so if you want to post a website where you put car-like deal on
computers you could do that through Squarespace that would be fine you could
sell your services it's it's no big deal Squarespace build it beautiful go to
