when I met with Corsair at PAX Prime 2016 they posed a challenge they told me
that they had seen my review of the fantex andu Evolve TG and knew that I
plan to use it for my personal rig update which is coming by the way I have
all the internal components now I'm just waiting on a few things for the actual
mod cuz I want to kind of do it all together they claimed that they had a
new case for me something that would win me over from the Evolve TG the Corsair
570x that was a big statement I love the evolve but they seemed genuinely
confident so I decided to give them a chance and spoiler alert it is a
wonderful case but I'm not going to actually spoil the big ending just yet
for that reason I will give it the same treatment that I gave the evolved TG I'm
going to be rather hard on it but out of love instead of hate let's
begin the Phoenix otor is a full siiz minimalist designed keyboard complete
with goldplated Cherry MX Brown switches click the link in the video description
to learn more immediately upon setting your eyes on the 570x you'll likely be
momentarily stunned while the reason for your state slowly Dawns on you that
glass she's got all that glass both
sides the top the front they feature all-encompassing glass panels held on by
delicately padded bolts that are inserted into rubber wrapped female
thread points damn the top of the case features your
IO with two black usb3 ports a headphone and microphone Jack and a solid power
button with white back lighting along with color speed and mode buttons to
control the three included RGB fans that
are in the front of the case this is pretty awesome and I like the idea here
but the follow through not quite so much
remember I'm being hard on the case Odo of love the power button led doesn't syn
with what the fans are doing it's just a static white LED and the same more
importantly goes with the Corsair logo LED on the side of the power supply
basement it's not a huge deal but still
if they had all sink together through Corsair's RGB controller it would have
added an extra layer of polished which would have been very nice moving to the
inside of the case I understand that they may have left the right hand side
open to facilitate the installation of thick radiators in the front or other
water cooling components like Pomer reservoirs I'm not a huge fan of the
move I'm trying to hide the cable mess man not show it off again this is out of
love but where's the optional cover piece that I could screw in from the
kind of top here most people probably won't have anything to the right of the
motherboard there are no Drive mounts or or anything like that and if you're not
doing custom water cooling then it's probably an empty space cuz you'll put
your AI in the top one that I don't mind
completely but one that certainly would look dumb with cables poking out of it
moving to the top of the case for a moment we have the expected mounting
points for the easy installation of an all-in-one water cooling radiator remove
these two thumb screws below it and just you know slide it out nice this is a
huge thing for me enabling the use to fuss with the insulation of their
radiator away from the cumbersome case
is great but what isn't great here is the implementation of the filter you
unfortunately have to remove the glass on the top of a case in order to access
it I think this could have been made easier by allowing it to slide out of
the back or even maybe from the side although that might have required a
change in how the glass works so probably not that brings us to the right
side of the case which is a big challenge for any glass or open style PC
en closure so how are they hiding the messy stuff first up here we have two
easy to ous squeeze Mount 2.5 in trays that will put your ssds on display which
is pretty awesome the cables need only short runs down to the power supply area
which is not bad either the plug-in location for the Corsair RGB fan power
hub is just to the left and feels like a solid compromise between cable
management and positioning as it is centrally located meaning that you can
reach it at all which is good it managed is up to six fans the three included
sp120 RGB fans in the front and up to three more sp120 RGB fans that's right
only those this Hub is not compatible with hd120 RGB
fans The Hub runs up to a control box that for most people will do nothing
since pressing buttons on the top is a lot easier than taking off a glass panel
just to adjust the mode or color or speed of your fans but it can function
Standalone if you take the top panel off for some reason then we have the hard
drive Trace Corsair opted to have them sort of upside down that is showing the
bottom of the drive this will make them easier to install and make it so that
your SATA cables don't have to squish against the wall but it will also leave
you probably showing off a green PCB
that now I'm guessing here probably doesn't go along with the aesthetic of
your build especially if you're getting a glass case not ideal but I probably be
standing here complaining about the difficulty of mounting a drive that is
flat mounted against the wall if they did it the other way so I guess that
sucks to be Corsair there was no completely right answer here bringing us
finally to the cable management bar when I first laid My Eyes Upon This
Magnificent piece of metal I was filled with excitement so this is how they
decided to solve the cable management issue of a see-through case brilliant in
theory in practice not not entirely the
sheer girth of the cables that need to RAM up into its passage in order to
plunge through the rubber grommets into the motherboard
compartment I think it's just more than she can handle even with our relatively
standard setup of Hardware John had to screw it from one side while I held it
down and offered some encouragement from the other I mean high- five for
collaboration but not everyone will have such a good and trusted friend around
when they need to put the finishing touches on their build leaving with
nothing left but to dive tired yet satisfied into the conclusion the
Corsair 570x is priced at $170 right in
range with the enthu Evolve TG whose price varies a bit based on what color
you choose and whatnot the fight is close and honestly just comes down to
some preference differences personally I'm going to stick with my evolve TG but
only because I already planned my mod for it and I don't want to make any more
decisions on this rig I don't want to decide between the two of them I just
want to get my personal rig done the mod parts are being shipped right now
anyways what do you guys think about the 57x let me know down below if you aren't
familiar with massop already they're a community where users discuss products
that they're interested in buying and then mastop follows that up talks to the
manufacturer and negotiates a bulk order at a discounted price today mastop is
featuring the westone 30 inear monitors
the features of these monitors include three B balanced armature drivers
three-way crossover replaceable braided cable and it comes with five pairs of
silicone ear tips you also get an orange waterproof carrying case and all of that
together is $249 on mass drop check them out thanks
