00:00:01.839 --> 00:00:08.679
NZXT brought us to Exotics Racing Las Vegas why why does that make any sense

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:12.160
stay tuned to find out thank you to Squarespace for sending us to CES 2016

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.520
this year check out their website squarespace.com Linus and use offer code

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:21.800
Linus to save 10% so NZXT brought us here to check out

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:26.960
this case it doesn't have a name it doesn't have a price point um but that

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:31.599
part of it was designed after a car a nice car that's why on the top of the

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:35.680
case you'll see a little bit of a divot um personally that's all I can find in

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:39.399
terms of why it looks like a car but there's some other cool things about it

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.200
as well all of the panels are curved steel they're saying that this is the

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.800
first time this has happened with a computer case I don't know of any other

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:50.399
ones that have curved steel I know some ones that have curved plastic so they

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.520
may be right that kind of a window not really a window cuz it's solid black

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:58.559
will eventually be either a clear window a tinted window or no window at all

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:03.760
depending on what model you get the crazy NZXT deck all over it that makes

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:08.360
it look like a new car announcement uh will be removed on the model that you

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:12.119
buy and it will be a very solid color and they're also going to be launching

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.479
in a potential matte white look which could be pretty cool the front and right

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:20.560
hand side of the case are fairly self-explanatory the bottom has two

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:24.680
bowed legs with some rubber feet on it to help it so it not slide around your

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.079
table the back of the case is fairly self-explanatory again but we learned

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:34.399
some information here again enxt told us basically nothing but you can see it's

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:39.680
probably an mitx board with a standard ATX power supply peering in through the

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.560
back I learned a few things that I can make as assumptions but one disclaimer I

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.360
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

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:54.240
change it did look like there was a basement it did look like there was two

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.840
140 mm fans in the front and maybe

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.920
mounting holes for 140 or 120 in the top

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.840
I definitely saw mounting holes for 14 40 and 120 but no fans up there and in

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:10.160
the back there was mounting holes and a fan which was 120 mm also on the back I

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:15.280
see a little switch that leads right to a circuit board which I'm going to

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:16.959
assume is for maybe a mini Hue

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.080
controller so you can control lighting inside the case although I'm not

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:24.760
entirely sure that could also be for a fan controller but I don't it's just

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:29.200
click in or click out I'm not sure we'll have to see once they actually announce

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:32.040
it on January 26 just as a note for you

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.599
guys also so I think that I saw some header cables for fans just laying

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.159
inside the case meaning that they probably have some version of a grid I

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:42.920
wouldn't be that surprised if they included other things that they've made

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.560
within this case jumping back to the outside there's a removable fan filter

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:50.760
for the power supply just in case you want it to be intaking from the bottom

00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:56.159
up on top of the case there's two USB 3.0 ports a power button on the left

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.680
hand side and two audio jacks 3.5 mm

00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:01.879
ones for headphone and microphone just ahead of those headphone and mic

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.080
microphone jacks there is also a little bit of a covered part which is probably

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:09.440
going to be impossible to really pick up in the fancy b-roll here but there is

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.799
probably going to be a little activity light there whatever they decide to call

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:17.560
this thing it's fairly interesting it's not the standard take that we've been

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.760
seeing lately for an ITX case traditionally with ITX cases we've been

00:03:19.799 --> 00:03:26.280
getting smaller and smaller this one actually takes it up a notch is that a

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.799
good thing I don't know I see a lot of people these days going for ITX because

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:33.200
they don't need any more that and it's totally fine for everything that they

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.360
need because there's no overclocking differences or anything else this seems to be an interesting take on an ITX case

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.640
I'm definitely going to have to see it more properly Hands-On in the office

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:47.040
when I can actually look at the inside of it but just by looking at its size it

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:53.079
could maybe be a little bit smaller especially because it doesn't have any OD slots but that could be a stylistic

00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:57.200
thing for you people lately are going for ITX systems not necessarily just

00:03:55.799 --> 00:04:01.720
because they're small but because they don't need any more than one expansion

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.319
slot so we'll have to see what people do with it it's an interesting case

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.760
nonetheless and Z xt's take on an ITX case is actually kind of interesting

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:13.519
lately what we've been seeing in this department is just smaller and smaller and smaller and cram everything in as

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:17.959
small as a space you can and hopefully it can cool itself uh but the cooling on

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:21.799
this guy is supposed to be comparable to some of their other much larger cases

00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:26.360
and if you're someone who's going for an ITX system just cuz you don't need more

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.680
than one expansion card you might still want a big nice window and a fancy

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:35.000
looking case and hey maybe that's applicable we'll have to see on the 26

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.440
thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring us here at CES 2016 this year just a

00:04:37.479 --> 00:04:43.400
little tidbit our company website is hosted on Squarespace so we also

00:04:41.479 --> 00:04:47.680
wouldn't have that website if it wasn't for Squarespace I don't know if whatever

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:51.800
you can host your company website on Squarespace pretty easily it's not a

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.720
hard system to use and if you need help they have 247 live chat and email

00:04:54.039 --> 00:04:59.919
support they have a whole bunch of different templates they also have

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:04.800
Commerce modules so if you want to post a website where you put car-like deal on

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.000
computers you could do that through Squarespace that would be fine you could

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:12.960
sell your services it's it's no big deal Squarespace build it beautiful go to
