00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:07.040
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:11.320
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.080
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.800
linkis in antech Suite they've got some

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:27.199
cases and some case fans and power supplies and my voice is totally totally

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:30.720
gone by now we're pretty far into the show I've done a lot of talking so we're

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.559
going to start with the fan so they've actually updated their fan Line This is

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.920
the true quiet Pro right here this one I've looked at before it's extremely

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:43.000
quiet truly and it's really nothing new

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.440
this is the true quiet LED 120 mm so

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.399
this guy right here has four LEDs looks kind of cool it's not quite as

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.600
sophisticated as the true quiet Pro so you can see it doesn't have that moving

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.199
outer frame so you don't have those larger blades but it is sort of a less

00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:01.160
expensive option and as far as led fans go it's kind of hard to find high

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:05.640
quality ones and this would fill in that Gap this guy right here don't worry they

00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:10.040
don't sound like that I got something caught in the blades this one right here

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:14.479
is the true quiet UFO so it comes in a variety of colors and what's cool about

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:18.920
them is that it's actually not a colored piece of plastic they are all clear

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.640
plastic but once you actually power them up they have colored LEDs that make them

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.159
glow the way that they do they have these extremely gorgeous silicon

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:32.799
isolating mounts here in the corner you can see how soft and supple and the

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:37.560
delicious those are you know kind of you okay this has gotten awkward we're going

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.280
to move along um next let's move over to

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.119
power supplies here I'll say nothing so you don't have to hold that

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:49.399
there so one of the show pieces here is the high current Pro 1300 Platinum now

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.479
they've got sort of a bunch of their other stuff High current Pro 1,000 Platinum which we've looked at which is

00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:58.320
outstanding their High current gamer series High current Platinum Series but

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:01.799
this guy if you know anything about power supplies if you've ever read

00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:06.719
review on Johnny Guru you'll know how impressive it is when I show you guys a

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:10.759
how clean the internals are you know you can't see any sort of mess no wires I

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:15.800
mean where are all the wires inside this thing right now check this out fully

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:21.040
modular power supply OC link which actually allows you to link up two of

00:02:17.239 --> 00:02:23.040
these things for a total of 2.6 kilow of

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:26.720
power just for the lulls right in case you needed that I'm flip this over here

00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:30.440
flip this over here hold on hold on it's not the impressive part yet bam check

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:35.319
that out when have you ever seen traces that

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:39.480
clean on the bottom of a power supply so an's whole thing about this guys is this

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.959
is state of the art manufacturing has all the features that you could possibly

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:47.200
want because of the 80 plus Platinum certification that means it's basically

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:54.319
up to 95% efficiency in places where they use 230 volt power and just yeah

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:58.560
awesome manufacturing on that one so let's move on to this guy p280 white

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:04.159
with a twist with window twist to be specific

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.879
so I've got a couple of looks like they put the demo back together wrong there's

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:11.319
two mismatched thumb screws you're going to end up with these ones with the plastic coating on the outside not the

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:14.920
other kind that I have here so what they've done with the black one is they

00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:20.000
or with the white one rather is they've added a window they have kept the noise

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:24.159
isolating material the 270° opening door and they've left black on the case as an

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:28.239
accent so you still have the removable fan filter not a whole lot has changed

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:32.680
from the p280 just the color scheme has kind of that Stormtrooper look that

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:38.319
people seem to really really like and the side panel holy crap we finally have

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:41.040
an antech P something8 something serious

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.799
case with a side window I've been asking for this for

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.480
years years I've been asking for this and they've finally done it and to keep

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:57.560
in line with their philosophy of quiet Computing on the P2 PX 8X series of

00:03:55.079 --> 00:04:01.079
cases uh they've gone with instead of just a regular window they've gone with

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.280
a clean look no rivets no no holes drilled so they're using a 3M Adhesive

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.040
to adhere the window to the side panel and they're actually this is all acrylic

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.879
so it goes the entire the entire length and width of the panel so what that

00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:18.560
means is it adds some rigidity it adds an additional layer for sound dampening

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:22.240
and it just adds some sort of overall heft to the case that it otherwise

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.320
wouldn't have other than that we've got a bone stock p280 looks really sharp

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.520
with the white and black color scheme but it is time to move on to the next

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:37.160
thing so this one we're going to play a little game the game is called guess how

00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.320
much this costs so in terms of features

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:43.520
this case over here is I'm going to move over this way this

00:04:42.039 --> 00:04:48.560
case right here is the gx700 so in terms of the actual features

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:53.080
it's very similar to the M100 here which is a military green styled 1100

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.360
basically where they've changed the top fans to dual 120 so that it can

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:00.120
accommodate a radiator so this guy right here has a bunch of really cool stuff

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:04.520
going for it you got front USB 3 front USB 2 you got fan control with three

00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:09.120
positions built in under like a sort of I don't know missile release sort of

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:10.880
system here it accommodates a top 240 mm

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.400
radiator these are kind of neat check this out so it's actually got little

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:18.840
Clips in the front that are not just for looks these will actually lock your

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:22.840
Optical Bay into place just by sliding it in here's something cool as well so

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:25.600
guys remember we're playing the the ho guess how much it cost game and I want

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:30.759
you to post what you think before I actually finish solid pieces of metal so

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.280
the front panel is actually metal not only on the 5 and 1/4 in Baye but also

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.600
this piece right here that attaches with four four thumb screws where you can

00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:42.319
access the fan filter even this badge right here is metal and you can easily

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.000
pop it off and replace it with something else if you want let's go ahead and open

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:51.680
this case up so other than that it looks sort of pretty pretty standard I guess

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:53.039
seven expansion slots rear 120 mm fan

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:58.440
sorry let me get out of your way Diesel have a look at that I'm going to go ahead and pop this side panel off so you

00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:04.840
got a rear fan mount it actually comes with three fans so two 140s in the top

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:07.240
and 120 in the back inside you find a

00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:11.960
big CPU cutout you've got sort of the typical antech uh toolless sliders for

00:06:10.039 --> 00:06:15.639
your drives so there's five of those included they mount either a 3 and 1

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:19.639
half or a 2 and2 inch Drive ATX compatibility sort of yeah about what

00:06:17.880 --> 00:06:25.720
about what you'd expect for a gaming case so you know very meshy very cooling

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.720
um the price for this thing is

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:34.080
5950 think about that for a minute hold on let that process the price is 59.50

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:39.520
so antech is going after people who want uh a featur rich case and are willing to

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:44.160
compromise on things like how heavy it is and how much it costs antech has on

00:06:42.039 --> 00:06:48.240
display in their Suite not just cases power supplies and all the stuff that we

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:51.440
know them for but also the antec mobile products lineup so we're going to start

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.800
with the pulse this is something that's quite new it comes in a wide variety of

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:59.360
different colors in fact what we have here in front of me isn't anywhere near

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:03.800
how many are available it's comes in at4 99 this is a Bluetooth 3.0 headset this

00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:07.360
these are they are using leather for the top headband and one thing I'd like to

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:11.400
note is that in spite of the plastic design and construction up here they've

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:15.080
actually added more padding on the top headband than I'm typically used to

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:19.000
seeing and that coupled with the fact that it is extremely light makes it

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.599
comfortable even though I was actually I had to wait for my meeting for a little

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.720
while so I just put them on just for the lulls to see uh to see how long it to

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:30.520
see how long it would take before they'd get uncomfortable and I didn't actually have any issues with them whereas I

00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:34.560
often even on my parot PHS I find them to be uncomfortable after about 15

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:39.120
minutes or so on the side you've got volume control as well as your pairing

00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:42.560
button and you've got uh sorry what was

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.560
the size of the drivers in this

00:07:44.599 --> 00:07:51.039
one yeah they're working on it okay so you've got a pass through using 3.5 mil

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.639
as well as a charging cable here so this is neat because when you're on an

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:58.840
airline and you can't use wireless you can use it with a 3.5 mil Jack and this

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.319
will give you about 6 hours of battery life so there's 's your button for

00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:06.479
taking calls and this is pretty much what it looks like once you put it on I

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:10.759
think this is my color you know I'm a I'm an Autumn or you know whatever the

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:13.879
terminology is for that moving right along we've got the sp1 I've talked

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:18.599
about this before basically it's kind of like a jam box but more better um in

00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:23.800
sort of yeah every possible way much better sound quality this right here has

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:25.800
no name and doesn't exist for all you

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:31.199
guys know here is the uh the pairing button on the back power in as well as a

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:33.279
3.5 mm in put and this thing is just

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:37.080
ridiculous I love it uh they've put much larger much higher quality drivers in

00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:40.080
it's more of a proof of concept that the factory can produce this and anything

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:43.200
else and before we leave here I'm totally going to ask to leave with it

00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:47.040
but I'm probably going to get shot down so love to have something like that this

00:08:44.920 --> 00:08:49.640
is great for traveling with whereas this is the kind of thing that you could

00:08:48.040 --> 00:08:54.000
actually legitimately put in your living room and use as just a a random sort of

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.839
Bluetooth speaker moving over here we've talked

00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:02.640
about the iso we've talked about the DBS here I'll let's take this from you uh

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:07.360
this is the gain so this is kind of like the iso except that you're not tied to

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:12.920
the headphones that it comes with so this allows you to take any headphone or

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.000
headset and use it as a Bluetooth

00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:19.519
headphone or headset very cool stuff so you got track skip volume up and down as

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:23.360
well as the ability to take calls and hang up calls it lasts for about 6 hours

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:26.640
on battery and it comes with free earbuds although the thing that I'm more

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:32.880
interested in inside this box is definitely this guy because it gives you the flexibility to to use the equipment

00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.640
that you're more comfortable with versus having to deal with some kind of a

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:40.480
built-in solution so you have the earbuds you know you like you know you

00:09:37.959 --> 00:09:45.200
prefer them then go ahead and stick with this next I'd like to move over into the

00:09:43.079 --> 00:09:49.519
antech mobile products charging products so these are we've seen these before

00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:54.360
everyone's seen these before but these ones are a little bit unique I mean anc's background is power supplies so

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:59.600
these have all of the industrial protections that they're typically accustomed to including with a computer

00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:04.880
power supply you've got over voltage protection overheat protection over

00:10:01.959 --> 00:10:08.079
current protection and unlike again so it comes down to that true power message

00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:14.800
that they keep throwing at the power supplies it comes down

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:17.120
to actually delivering the say you know

00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:20.440
the the amperage that they claim as well as the capacity that they claim with

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:26.240
these things so this guy right here is able to charge up to four devices

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:27.600
simultaneously and has 2 amps of output

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.560
so that means that you can actually charge your devices much faster diesel

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:36.320
in particular has a Galaxy Note 2 and he's found that the charging rates with

00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:40.120
1 amp devices are absolutely anemic compared to what he's able to achieve

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:44.760
with a 2 Amp device so this guy right here is only two ports but is also

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:47.959
capable of two amps this guy right here is just a car charger so you know you

00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:53.680
got all those protections that are included with it I mean another thing that antech brought up to us is they

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:57.519
have a a much more intelligent sort of design than we've seen with sort of the

00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:00.800
the the Cheapo OEM ones for example it'll automatically turn off if you have

00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:04.519
a cable plugged in but nothing actually plugged into the other end not all of

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:08.160
them do that it'll stop charging your device once it detects that it's

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:11.880
actually full so that puts less strain on your battery and reduces the risk of

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:15.399
any kind of an electrical problem because if a device is off then it's not

00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:19.279
going to cause a problem so this is the power up 3000 so this is going to charge

00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:22.720
your iPhone twice and this is the power up 6,000 which is going to charge your

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:25.839
iPhone four times and you can see for size actually I should probably be doing

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:31.320
an iPhone comparison if I'm going to bring up an iPhone while I talk about something that's a mobile prod and

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:37.320
iPhone related so it's about that big I think that pretty much wraps it up

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:40.959
