00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,680
hey luke what do you know about the night blade uh it's a basic card in hearthstone it

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:11,280
costs five mana i think it's a four four with a battle cry that deals three

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:18,240
damage to an enemy hero it's a pretty decent card uh i actually i meant that

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,140
case that's on the table there oh

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:26,080
i guess i can review that

6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,000
cooler master v-series semi-modular power supplies feature 80 plus gold

00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,840
efficiency and their gold guarantee 5 year warranty click now to learn more

8
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,640
packaging wise i know Linus would be proud the packaging material in this

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:43,600
case is a fantastic soft foam but

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,760
that's boring so let's move on most of the front of the case is a brushed metal

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:52,160
with diamond cut edges finish which is only interrupted by a gaming series case

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,920
badge a small MSI logo on the bottom and a slot loading optical drive on the left

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,800
hand side just above that we see the front i o which includes two each of usb

14
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:05,680
2.0 and 3.0 ports along with audio jacks an oc switch a power button a wireless

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:09,439
signal led and a storage led down on the bottom of the front panel we see some

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,760
ventilation holes accented by an abuse ready carrying handle seriously that

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,840
thing is pretty beast it's thick metal construction makes me pretty confident

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,439
that it won't give way no matter how much i resemble an ogre and if you're a

19
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,640
hand model who's scared of picking up something that is possibly made of metal

20
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,080
they also include a soft handle cover

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,159
while the handle cover may be a nice addition i'm not sure i would use it

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,320
personally as i think it looks much better without and the standard metal

23
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,560
handle actually does come with a nice slip resistant rubber pad on the bottom

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,159
by default the top bottom and side panels all feature ventilation holes

25
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,000
with the bottom panel including an externally removable filter which due to

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,840
the upwards angle provided by the carrying handle is able to be removed

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,079
cleaned and replaced without picking up the case which in my opinion is pretty

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,600
damn cool the left side panel also includes a silhouette of the MSI gaming

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,920
series dragon just to the right of the ventilation holes which fits the

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,880
aggressive styling of this case once we get to the back you'll notice there's a

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,200
power plug at the top which has been extended there from the 600 watt 80 plus

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,520
gold power supply which is mounted vertically in the front of the case for

33
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:21,840
motherboard i o we have a standard setup of audio jacks for each usb 2.0 and 3.0

34
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,560
ports two HDMI ports a DisplayPort a

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:29,520
spdif digital audio out two a set of ports a ps2 port an Ethernet jack and

36
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,879
dual wireless antennas then we get to the screws on the back which left me a

37
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,640
little bit confused to be honest for the back backside panel they've opted to go

38
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:42,160
with standard run-of-the-mill screws i would have liked to see at least thumb

39
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,080
screws here and then for the top and bottom panels they went with thumb

40
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:50,560
screws but they don't have anywhere to undo it with an actual screwdriver which

41
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,160
is kind of odd luckily they don't come pre-installed too brutally and can be

42
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,280
easily taken off by hand these screws also have a double function by acting as

43
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,400
a stand for when you want to put the case down after carrying it if you want

44
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,080
to put it down vertically because that's how it hangs off your hand but you have

45
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,319
to make sure that nothing's plugged in especially not the included antennas as

46
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,080
they aren't exactly designed to carry the weight of a computer and you can

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,400
easily forget them back there last but not least you have the sliding locks on

48
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:20,239
the left side panel which are extremely easy to use but unfortunately leave the

49
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:23,920
panel with a fair amount of wiggle room i would have liked to see even an

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,159
optional thumb screw hole on just the side panel just in case i didn't want my

51
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,599
side panel to jiggle around despite the odd arrangement of screws and locking

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,080
mechanisms on the back of the case it is pretty awesome that you can take off the

53
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,159
top bottom front and both side panels very easily this makes the expectedly

54
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,720
cramped building area actually feel larger than it is resulting in a much

55
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,239
easier build in a more open space one last thing before we go inside the case

56
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,080
is the aesthetically pleasing little fan that they have on the back to explain

57
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,440
what i mean by aesthetically pleasing usually if you were to mount a fan in

58
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,680
this orientation and look at it from the outside you would see the company logo

59
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,680
structure supporting bars and power cabling for the fan in this case they

60
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,680
have designed the fan specifically to be the other way around so that it can

61
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,280
maintain its good looks from the outside very nice touch upon taking off the side

62
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,840
panels you'll notice the side fan bracket which has a funny note and a

63
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,560
pretty intense warning message on it first off and i quote note installing

64
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,199
the side fan may increase the acoustic level so essentially installing a thing that

65
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:30,479
creates a byproduct of noise may increase your noise level

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,560
thanks secondly and i quote warning

67
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:35,360
hazardous moving parts keep fingers and other body parts away

68
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,840
i just really i don't know in all seriousness

69
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,440
though this bracket is well implemented and will help you cool some of your more

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,400
thermally demanding graphics cards and cpus

71
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,000
but i would have liked to see MSI actually include a stock fan here i

72
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:54,320
can't imagine that a second fan would have really increased the bom cost by

73
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,880
all that much and while i realized they only actually suggest it for an r9

74
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,800
series kind of graphics card i know more than a few people out there that would

75
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,720
install one just to keep their system that much cooler in general on the right

76
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,280
hand side you'll see a mounting bracket that holds the slimline optical drive

77
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,320
bay and three and a half inch bay this mounting bracket will have to be

78
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,160
unscrewed and removed in order to install something into that three and a

79
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:22,479
half inch bay and another note is that on this side if you for some reason want

80
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:27,280
to replace your psu you can take it out by removing all of the screws and

81
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,479
lowering its whole mounting bracket and

82
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:34,320
for some of you out there that want to be rather adventurous it is possible then to swap in a modular psu but you'll

83
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,639
have a fair amount of metal cutting in your future and you'll be boarding your

84
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:42,479
warranty up in the top we have our dual two and a half inch bay which comes

85
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,000
pre-installed with a nifty little msata device

86
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,520
now i don't honestly see a ton of people using this dual m-stated device but some

87
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,280
people might use it and regardless it's a cool little additional feature anyways

88
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,360
and once you're done with this case it is removable so you can take it out and

89
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:03,440
take it with you a nice little additional value the drive rails are

90
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,880
pretty secure and when you push them in they click in really nicely they're not

91
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,720
just going to randomly slide out on you so pretty solid overall jumping behind

92
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,319
the motherboard tray for a second we can see that there's a fan filter for the

93
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,960
psu on the left hand side which is quite nice and an utter lack of any cable

94
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:21,680
management options whatsoever so what exactly do you do for cable

95
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:26,639
management not much but because you don't have to which is

96
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,400
not that bad almost every cable you'll need is pre-ran for you with plastic

97
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:34,160
clips holding them in place and the cables aren't exactly out of sight but

98
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,600
they're also quite well taken care of and easy to access if you need to

99
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:40,720
routing themselves tightly around various devices within the case so

100
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,479
they're not in your way while you're working thanks to the very large size

101
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:48,639
girl on the bottom of the case and the elevation from the handle the graphics

102
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:52,080
card is able to breathe quite easily also if you're worried about your GPU

103
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,880
when carrying the case around with the handle you can rest a wee bit easier

104
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:00,560
because MSI has included a GPU supporter which is essentially an adjustable

105
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,520
plastic bracket that will keep your GPU from sagging down too much

106
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:09,199
back inside the case we can see the nh-l-12 knock to a cooler that i

107
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,160
installed it fits perfectly in this case and i would highly suggest it if you do

108
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,800
decide to go with the nightblade in the future this cooler is quite large and

109
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,080
includes two fans and still allows you to access things like SATA ports just in

110
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,639
case you want to make changes to the computer at some later date speaking of

111
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,560
the nh-l-12 i have two questions for you guys would you like me to review the

112
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:33,280
nh-l-12 comparing it versus a stock cooler in the night blade and against

113
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:38,400
other performance coolers in my standard standard cooling bench and also are you

114
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,680
interested in bare bone systems at all or are you kind of the person that wants

115
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,360
to build everything from scratch let me know in the comments down below and on

116
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,160
the forum i'll see you guys in either of those locations if you're on the forum

117
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,160
you want to get rid of the ads become a contributor it gets rid of all of them

118
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,599
again if you don't like my short or your shirt or your friend's shirt i added

119
