1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,839
the $69 case Market is loaded with great options maybe $69 is just a great

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,559
position for both the case manufacturer who doesn't have to worry about choking

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:16,680
their profits and the customer who gets everything they need at the same time

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,480
maybe it's just a good place to be when you want a satisfying experience for

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:28,680
everyone so come with me let's see what this case at this price point has to

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,680
offer and what I'm going to offer to it

7
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,760
tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately and

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,239
enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out the link in the

9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,640
video description starting with the front of the red line 05 there are two

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,399
plastic cutout tabs that function as buttons for both power and reset on the

11
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:59,559
left hand side these tabs have a decent if rather stiff tactile feel on the

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:04,799
right hand side we have dual USB 3 ports and both headphone and microphone jacks

13
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:09,159
then we come to the PS resistance the killer feature at this price point the

14
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:15,000
USB type-c connector at the top of the case wow such beauty you can stick your

15
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:19,799
cable in either way I can't wait before we move on note that the

16
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:24,640
case does come with red accents like the name would imply but I went with black

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,560
on black because that's more my thing and there are a couple more things

18
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,920
to note here at the front once you remove move the front bezel you can see

19
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,439
the USB cables for both the type- C connector and the type a front

20
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:43,119
connectors are permanently attached to the front but having one of them at the

21
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,240
top and one of them at the side makes it so that once you've managed all of your

22
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:52,200
cables the front panel gets a little hard to remove which wouldn't matter

23
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:57,000
except that unless you take it off you can't access the included and poorly

24
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,280
mounted fan filter I get it it's better for the USB signal for them not to be

25
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:05,200
removable but I still think there's room for improvement here okay I'm sorry I

26
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,000
swear this doesn't normally happen but I seem to have started a little bit

27
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:13,120
prematurely and forgotten the case the left panel has a large window cutout to

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,440
reveal all of your glorious components for the world to see and the right side

29
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,120
panel is just plain old metal moving on to the bottom of the case you have

30
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:26,480
another fan filter this one easier to access under the power supply just

31
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,920
behind the stamped on spray stencil made

32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,319
in China logo good thing that's on the bottom which brings to the top of the

33
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,360
case do you see the problems here there are actually two main ones one of them

34
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,599
is the positioning of the ventilation aesthetically it's pleasing because it

35
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:46,760
goes right down the middle of the top but functionally it's a little

36
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:51,480
frustrating because it goes right over the top of your motherboard this makes

37
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,599
the installation of 140 mm fans more difficult than it needs to be and it

38
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,599
also makes the installation of a radiator essentially impossible let's go

39
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:04,519
back to the 140 mm fan thing for a moment though say you wanted to water

40
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,760
cool you bought a dual 120 or 140 mm fan

41
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:10,959
AO liquid cooler and put it in the front of the case instead of the top not a big

42
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,599
deal while I don't personally prefer this approach there are plenty of cases

43
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,879
out there where this is the most optimal position what now frustrates me is the

44
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,040
spare 140 mil Silverstone fans that are left over where do you put them they

45
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:31,319
don't fit in the back of the case so the top I mean kind of the fan filter up top

46
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:34,680
is mounted through the 140 mm mounting

47
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:36,879
holes already you can make this work

48
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,879
rather well by just mounting each fan with three screws instead of four but

49
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,840
that makes cleaning the filter a little Annoying this also could have been done

50
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,159
better let's move on to what I think is the strongest aspect of the R5 the

51
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:54,040
interior the main compartment of the case rocks a great looking basement

52
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:57,640
cover two SSD mounting points on top of the basement cover although only one of

53
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,720
them has a convenient cable cutout rendering the leftmost one a little bit

54
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:07,280
more difficult to wire up cleanly looking upwards from here I really like

55
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:12,720
what they did with the cable management on the right side of the motherboard

56
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:17,359
this cable cover looks better in my opinion than the bunch of floppy rubber

57
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,280
grommet cutout holes that have been present in every case since the 800d

58
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:27,240
that being said I wouldn't have minded the aformentioned floppy rubber grommets

59
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:31,039
for the cable management hole up top or the header and SSD connections down at

60
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,039
the bottom bottom moving to the back of the motherboard tray there is a

61
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:39,880
well-sized and correctly placed CPU mounting cutout two more spots for

62
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,919
mounting ssds although it must be noted that for the four possible SSD positions

63
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:50,240
there are only two included trays which to be fair is just as much or more than

64
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:54,880
most people who will buy a $69 case will probably need then below that there are

65
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:59,240
two hard drive bays and the power supply that sits up on some foam feet to get

66
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,479
elevated from the floor and this is important I know lonus has personally

67
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:08,800
suffocated a power supply with the fan facing downward on a carpeted floor

68
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:13,560
tragic which leads us to the bottom line the R5 is a very solid case with tons of

69
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,319
features to boot at a rather aggressive price point but one that doesn't enjoy

70
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:24,360
the luxury of existing in a vacuum One fierce competitor also at $69 is the

71
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,520
fantex eclipse P400 it comes with a

72
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,400
magnetic external fan filter at the top rail mounted fan filters elsewhere a

73
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:36,039
proper easy to remove front panel and an RGB light controller to name a few

74
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:40,360
features a USB type-c connector is pretty sweet though so which $69

75
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:46,880
building experience do you think will be a more pleasurable one let me know in
