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

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

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

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.140
case that's on the table there oh

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:26.080
i guess i can review that

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.000
cooler master v-series semi-modular power supplies feature 80 plus gold

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:40.640
packaging wise i know Linus would be proud the packaging material in this

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.600
case is a fantastic soft foam but

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

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.160
with diamond cut edges finish which is only interrupted by a gaming series case

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

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

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

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

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.760
ventilation holes accented by an abuse ready carrying handle seriously that

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:17.840
thing is pretty beast it's thick metal construction makes me pretty confident

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

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.640
hand model who's scared of picking up something that is possibly made of metal

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.080
they also include a soft handle cover

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

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.320
personally as i think it looks much better without and the standard metal

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.560
handle actually does come with a nice slip resistant rubber pad on the bottom

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.159
by default the top bottom and side panels all feature ventilation holes

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.000
with the bottom panel including an externally removable filter which due to

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:51.840
the upwards angle provided by the carrying handle is able to be removed

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.079
cleaned and replaced without picking up the case which in my opinion is pretty

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.600
damn cool the left side panel also includes a silhouette of the MSI gaming

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.920
series dragon just to the right of the ventilation holes which fits the

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

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:11.200
power plug at the top which has been extended there from the 600 watt 80 plus

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.520
gold power supply which is mounted vertically in the front of the case for

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

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:24.560
ports two HDMI ports a DisplayPort a

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:29.520
spdif digital audio out two a set of ports a ps2 port an Ethernet jack and

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:34.879
dual wireless antennas then we get to the screws on the back which left me a

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.640
little bit confused to be honest for the back backside panel they've opted to go

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.160
with standard run-of-the-mill screws i would have liked to see at least thumb

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.080
screws here and then for the top and bottom panels they went with thumb

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:50.560
screws but they don't have anywhere to undo it with an actual screwdriver which

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:54.160
is kind of odd luckily they don't come pre-installed too brutally and can be

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.280
easily taken off by hand these screws also have a double function by acting as

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

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

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:08.319
to make sure that nothing's plugged in especially not the included antennas as

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:12.080
they aren't exactly designed to carry the weight of a computer and you can

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.400
easily forget them back there last but not least you have the sliding locks on

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.239
the left side panel which are extremely easy to use but unfortunately leave the

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:23.920
panel with a fair amount of wiggle room i would have liked to see even an

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

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.599
side panel to jiggle around despite the odd arrangement of screws and locking

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

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:40.159
top bottom front and both side panels very easily this makes the expectedly

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:44.720
cramped building area actually feel larger than it is resulting in a much

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:48.239
easier build in a more open space one last thing before we go inside the case

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.080
is the aesthetically pleasing little fan that they have on the back to explain

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.440
what i mean by aesthetically pleasing usually if you were to mount a fan in

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.680
this orientation and look at it from the outside you would see the company logo

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.680
structure supporting bars and power cabling for the fan in this case they

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.680
have designed the fan specifically to be the other way around so that it can

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.280
maintain its good looks from the outside very nice touch upon taking off the side

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.840
panels you'll notice the side fan bracket which has a funny note and a

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.560
pretty intense warning message on it first off and i quote note installing

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:25.199
the side fan may increase the acoustic level so essentially installing a thing that

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:30.479
creates a byproduct of noise may increase your noise level

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:32.560
thanks secondly and i quote warning

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:35.360
hazardous moving parts keep fingers and other body parts away

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.840
i just really i don't know in all seriousness

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.440
though this bracket is well implemented and will help you cool some of your more

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:46.400
thermally demanding graphics cards and cpus

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:50.000
but i would have liked to see MSI actually include a stock fan here i

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:54.320
can't imagine that a second fan would have really increased the bom cost by

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.880
all that much and while i realized they only actually suggest it for an r9

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:02.800
series kind of graphics card i know more than a few people out there that would

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.720
install one just to keep their system that much cooler in general on the right

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.280
hand side you'll see a mounting bracket that holds the slimline optical drive

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.320
bay and three and a half inch bay this mounting bracket will have to be

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:18.160
unscrewed and removed in order to install something into that three and a

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

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:27.280
to replace your psu you can take it out by removing all of the screws and

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:28.479
lowering its whole mounting bracket and

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

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:38.639
have a fair amount of metal cutting in your future and you'll be boarding your

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

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:46.000
pre-installed with a nifty little msata device

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

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:55.280
people might use it and regardless it's a cool little additional feature anyways

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

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.440
take it with you a nice little additional value the drive rails are

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:06.880
pretty secure and when you push them in they click in really nicely they're not

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:10.720
just going to randomly slide out on you so pretty solid overall jumping behind

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

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

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:21.680
management options whatsoever so what exactly do you do for cable

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.639
management not much but because you don't have to which is

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.400
not that bad almost every cable you'll need is pre-ran for you with plastic

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:34.160
clips holding them in place and the cables aren't exactly out of sight but

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.600
they're also quite well taken care of and easy to access if you need to

00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:40.720
routing themselves tightly around various devices within the case so

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:44.479
they're not in your way while you're working thanks to the very large size

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:48.639
girl on the bottom of the case and the elevation from the handle the graphics

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.080
card is able to breathe quite easily also if you're worried about your GPU

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.880
when carrying the case around with the handle you can rest a wee bit easier

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:00.560
because MSI has included a GPU supporter which is essentially an adjustable

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:04.520
plastic bracket that will keep your GPU from sagging down too much

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

00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:12.160
installed it fits perfectly in this case and i would highly suggest it if you do

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.800
decide to go with the nightblade in the future this cooler is quite large and

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.080
includes two fans and still allows you to access things like SATA ports just in

00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.639
case you want to make changes to the computer at some later date speaking of

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

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:33.280
nh-l-12 comparing it versus a stock cooler in the night blade and against

00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:38.400
other performance coolers in my standard standard cooling bench and also are you

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:41.680
interested in bare bone systems at all or are you kind of the person that wants

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.360
to build everything from scratch let me know in the comments down below and on

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

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

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
