tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by western digital our trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair vengeance and our trusted retail partner is nci.com guys we're here at the bit phenix booth where they have an unbelievable a number of two two more than two unbelievable number of cases on display so this right here is the ronin it's also got what is possibly one of the most cool things that they're showing off this is an updated version of their fan controller so touchreen you can change color you can adjust your led brightness on the fans you can adjust your led brightness with alc strips you can adjust your fan rpms but check this out there's actually an open source software utility that lets you also do all that stuff in the Windows os itself so you can change the color to whatever you want you can also go ahead and see led brightness control main diol only that but che out case from the it extremely clean so that's because they've added like a stealth sort of cover here so even though it's got a large window you don't have to stare at the side of your hard drive cages with all the cables hanging out the back and i'm probably doing this wrong but thank you i appreciate that so once you move that out you've got what looks like otherwise a fairly standard interior full support for a 240 mm radiator in the top and then you've got your five plus two looks like six hard drive cages these top ones are removable so if you need to put in ridiculously long graphics cards or anything like that you won't have any difficulty this guy right here doesn't have a name but you can sort of see the prodigy heritage of it there you go see this is totally totally preproduction sample so you can see that that side i who knows if that even makes it to the final one but it has a really classy looking chromed strip all along the top and the bottom it's got a very very clean front so single five and quar in b again you see that prodigy heritage here and then on the again with chr stp as well as the ventilated side for graphics card who knows when we're to see this what it's going to cost or what the features will be nobody knows which brings us up to the phenom m this one's quite a bit more finalized this is going to be an itx case that is going to be very very clean looking optimized for something like i don't know you know file server or just someone who wants a much more much more clean looking computer it's got again soyas so you see that same interior with the five drive cages as well as full support for long graphics cards if you really wanted to go that route by removing the top drive cages which brings us to the colossus m this is going to be an matx case so this one right here is going to use well hold on a minute so this looks an awful lot like that sort of that prodigy heritage as well matx case that's kind of confusing what in the heck you' also got adjustable uh you've got adjustable leds so go ahead and see if i can figure it out how to do this hold on can't can't they working sort of the disadvantage of there we go there's a blue led in the front there some different brightness levels there might be different versions of the colors who knows but that brings us to this guy right here so people have been saying for fair fair while here well prodigy is a pretty big for an itx case why don't you guys try and put an matx board in there bit phoenix has pulled through and they have done exactly just that0 in the top matatx ​​inverted motherboard the back of the case as well as what appears to be what is that a 230 mm cooling fan 200 mm oh yeah no 230 mm down in the btom 230 works this is a 200 thank you okay we've also got a 120 mm cooling fan in the back 140 might end up being in the back hard to say guys these cases are not finished yet and then that mesh front that we've seen on the black prodigy already so here i'll just give you guys another look at that SSD mounts on the back of the motherboard tray gives ir op and actually 100 where hard drives are go two hard drives on the bot of the case you can actually and i just dropped something no idea what it was but thank you if you want to remove that magnetic strip right there you can actually mount hard drives with antivrational rber mounts down there on the bottom and one more in the back of the pc this no name arrived give how last minute it was computech started on tuesday so it has no name it has no price what it does have is a very beautiful id so id for those of you who don't know isn't always identification sometimes it means industrial design it kind of reminds me of ASUS's uh vento chassis from way back in the day but much classier that thing was like it kind of bulged out at the bottom and it was like glossy bright fraking colors whereas this uses bit phoenix's classic s touch on top as front don't know frontel even op will be a door but this is very very early sample absolutely nothing about it is final but i think it looks pretty darn nice which brings us finally to the shadow this one is entry level quiet case so you got noise dampening material here in the front and u cases we were expecting benix but headss thre me for a bit of a loop because that is actually not something that i was expecting this is the bit phenix flow headset and what theyve done what theyve attempted to do here is they wanted to build a headset that is optimal for gaming but without blowing out the base without creating that that inevitable problem that we seem to have with 99% of gaming headsets out there where they are optimized to make explosion sound really rough and really manly but they actually don't deliver a very satisfying music listening experience so they're trying to move away from that and deliver a more balanced sound with an id that you're going to be comfortable wearing outside of your house and away from your pc where it doesn't really matter if you look like a total dork now if i didn't want to look like a total dork there's a good chance that i shouldn't have picked the pink one and don't worry the chain is an optional accessory you do not actually have to have the no i'm just kidding this is antithft device you don't want people walking away with these so the main features here are you've got your inline volume as well as microphone mute and you might say oh but lus there is no microphone on that headset well this again is in line with the concept of having it be possible to move away from the pc so see if i can do this not looking at it that'll be the test of how good it is there you go so you can attach the microphone like that it has a limited amount of adjustment wouldn't mind seeing something that you can like really snake around but honestly for me the problem is that a lot of headsets have such long boom mes that they end up right in the middle of your mouth which is actually not the optimal placement for them you want them instead by the corner of your mouth and that happens to be where this ends up on me the headphones themselves are selfadjusting which means where normally i would show you guys the adjustable headband um i i can't really because you put it on your head and it see i can't even like figure out how this works without the without actually putting it on so you put it on your head and it adjusts to where it's supposed to sit i like the approach they've taken with the headphone strap here because so many times you see lightwe of aad g with alexible stp with a little bit of padding on the inside and kept the structural integrity parts right here which actually made out of what feels like these metal with plastic on the outside metal with plastic on the outside so you maintain that lightness without actually adding s of add bum comes with a two stage cable which means you can leave one end plugged into your pc so you can see this has quite a short cable on it i'm going to see if i can like steal their uh their ipod here so it has a short cable but there's another cable that acts as an extension and plugs into the back of your pc so you can just plug it in and go away as you see fit personally i love these two stage cables because i don't actually plug anything into the back of my computer ever when it comes to headphones there you go guys there's the two stage cable so that means you've got your split microphone and headphone jacks here and then you've actually got then you've actually got a four p that's on the microphone itself that goes into the single adapter on the other end i prefer this because i use uh here we go sorry i'll get you a good look at that i use a dac as well as a headphone amp at my computer so having the option to not have this long cable loop because i'm never going to actually run it around to the back of my computer anyway is really convenient for me thank you so much for checking out this compex 2013 video don't forget our trip to the show this year is powered by western digital
