1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,280 We're here at Montex Booth at Computex 2024 where they have sponsored a video 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,360 where we're going to look at a whole whack of cases that they have that look really quite nice 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:14,680 and also are all very reasonably priced. This one right here is the HS01 Mini 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,560 and as you can see, it is quite a pretty little guy. 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,600 Now this right here, it is not real leather. You don't really wanna screw around with that 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,760 if you're shipping to a whole bunch of different countries. 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,240 Moisture can be annoying and you didn't have to kill animals for it. 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,660 So that's a plus. But what we have here is a 32 liter case 9 00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:40,520 that has up to ATX support. Now we aren't able to fit in ATX 10 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,520 with the fans on the bottom, but we can come in here. 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,160 This is a prototype. They all seem a little bit concerned about me just taking it apart right now, but it's fine. 12 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,960 But the layout is really smart. So right now it is set up for an MATX build 13 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,720 and that is what it's designed for. But you can take out these fans on the bottom 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,160 and fit in a full ATX motherboard if you so choose. 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440 And you also have support for a 360 millimeter radiator 16 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,980 up at the top and we have our power supply at the front. 17 00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:13,760 Now this set up here is good for like a 4080, 4070, 18 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,560 something like that. But if you have a big boy 49 you are going to run into the power supply. 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,440 Fortunately though, if you take out this fan and want only a 240 millimeter radiator, 20 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,000 you can move the whole power supply up, which will give you enough clearance for a GPU 21 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,120 to just go all the way across this guy. 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,640 So you can have an insane amount of power 23 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,500 in something that is just this big. That's just so pretty. 24 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,480 Coming around to the back, we can see that we have back to front support 25 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,600 like every good case in 2024. And we also have fans on the side 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,020 and the cable management, it's gonna be a little bit of a struggle 27 00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:58,400 but you'll be able to figure it out. Especially when you find this thing is just $96 28 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,080 and that includes four pre-installed fans, three in the bottom and one in the back. 29 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Heck yeah. But if you're not looking for a small case, 30 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,280 here we have the HS01, not many. 31 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,540 It's just the HS01 and it is really neat. 32 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:16,080 Now the main thing that they have done here is played around once again 33 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,200 with where the power supply goes. So if you look, it's actually up here right at the top 34 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,040 and what allows them to do is sink down fans into the bottom, 35 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,200 which helps a little bit with performance and a lot of bit with, 36 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280 it's just looking kind of cool and really unique. 37 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,240 And moving over here to the fully built system, it's just a really unique look. 38 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,920 One thing that's fun is that if you look, this RGB strip that's along the bottom 39 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:46,000 is actually connected with Pogo pins. So you can just take it off, works great. 40 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,720 The pins are right there, put it back on, boom. 41 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Your RGB works again. One thing that's also cool is if you look on the front, 42 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,840 these fans have two options of where exactly they go. 43 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Right now they're centered, which looks good for just looking good sake, 44 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,720 but you can remove these two screws up here and move it to the left, 45 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,960 which gives you a tiny bit more performance, sacrificing just not being quite in the middle. 46 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,120 Looking in the back, we can see this great big fan and RGB hub, 47 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,280 which does come included. And also you can see just how strange 48 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,620 the power supply is right there, but it does allow pretty easily cable management. 49 00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:33,000 And of course we do have back to front support here as well. 50 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,940 One thing that was a little bit of oversight on this prototype is that right now, 51 00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:41,600 you cannot access the power button on the power supply, 52 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,720 but in the future, and when this is actually available, there will be a nice big hole here. 53 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,520 So you can plug it, unplug it, and just hit that button if you want. 54 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,000 Moving back around to the front, one of the things that is fun 55 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,920 is that they have a really streamlined look, where you have all of your like junky connectors 56 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,320 and stuff down here, if your motherboard wasn't back to front, 57 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,240 and they have just this nice little panel right here, which just covers that up, 58 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,240 so you don't need to see those cables. You can get the HSO-1 in either black or silver, 59 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,760 they're the same price, and it comes with five RGB fans for just $99. 60 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960 Not too bad. But maybe you have a little bit more money, 61 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,760 specifically $20 more money, and you want to spend that on curved glass. 62 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:32,600 Look at this. I cannot believe what they're able to get curved glass into a case that has that kind of a price tag, 63 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800 because I know a lot of manufacturers have talked about 64 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,960 just how heckin' expensive it can be. They said that they're able to heat up the glass 65 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,640 and do the curving, and the process is still a little bit difficult. 66 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,560 About 80% of them are fine, but 20% of them just kind of explode 67 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,440 while they're making them. But the good news is, once they are made and installed, 68 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,720 none of them have exploded afterwards, so you don't have to worry about that at all. 69 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,200 What's also really cool here is that below the curved glass, 70 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,160 they have two 80 millimeter fans that they say deliver about a one to two degree 71 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,240 drop in temperatures on your GPU. 72 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,640 Because you don't want to be a saggy boy, they do include a GPU bracket from the factory, 73 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,080 and also five fans, so the two 80 millimeters right here, 74 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,120 two 140s on the side, and a 140 on the back. 75 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Moving around to the back, you can see that we have back to front support once again, 76 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,960 and you will be getting a controller, but more like the one that we saw before, 77 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,920 not this one specifically. If you're willing to sacrifice that nice curved glass 78 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,700 for a little bit of performance though, we have the Sky 3 performance right here. 79 00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,700 It's a prototype, so probably it's a good idea. 80 00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:50,780 It's a prototype, all right, I'll leave it. With this guy, you get three 140 millimeter fans 81 00:05:50,780 --> 00:05:55,820 in the front, a 120 in the back, and that same GPU saggy thing, 82 00:05:55,820 --> 00:06:01,860 and also a little bit of maybe walnut right here. They're not 100% sure what type of wood this is going to be, 83 00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:07,280 because you need to pick a type of wood that's going to be fine, and Asia where it's hot and humid, 84 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:11,040 and Europe and Canada where it's really cold and not humid, 85 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,420 and also import laws and equipment, they'll figure it out. 86 00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:21,200 Well, it's a bit harder to figure out though, is how they managed to make the King 65 Pro be so inexpensive. 87 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,520 This is apparently the cheapest dual chamber case 88 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,840 coming in at $89. Not bad, let's have a look in here. 89 00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,480 As you can see, tempered glass on two sides, 90 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:41,060 very, very nice, and there we go. Your power supply has its own little area to do its thing. 91 00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:44,060 We have some fans that are intaking through there, 92 00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:48,860 so all of your other stuff can stay nice and cool. Unfortunately, there is no back to front support 93 00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:54,220 in this guy here, but there is support for hard drives if you still have those for some reason. 94 00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:59,940 In here, if you are to buy it, you will get 240 millimeter fans on the side, 95 00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:04,620 and a 120 at the back for that $89 price tag, 96 00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:10,740 which is pretty heckin' good. Also looks like we have room for a 360 rat up there, 97 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:13,860 360 down here, very nice. 98 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:18,140 For those of you that want to spend very little on your computer case though, 99 00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:21,980 and more on your components, we have the XR series. 100 00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:29,140 This one right here with the two glass panels comes in at $64, very nice, and even nicer, 101 00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:33,180 the one with mesh on the front comes with 4120s, 102 00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:36,700 and the not mesh version glass panel comes with 3, 103 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,140 which is why the mesh one costs a little bit more, 104 00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:43,500 and it's pretty bog standard in the back. 105 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:48,860 Once again, we don't have any back to front support just to save on those tooling costs, 106 00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:53,020 but realistically, at this kind of a price point, you're probably not buying one of those 107 00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:57,220 extra fancy motherboards anyway. Also these are available right now. 108 00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:02,620 Maybe you do want to spend a bunch of your money though, which is where their flagship case, 109 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:06,020 the King 95 Mega Pro comes in, 110 00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:13,700 and the party trick of this guy right here is that these three fans can move out 30 degrees. 111 00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:19,060 That apparently can drop GPU temps by up to five degrees Celsius, 112 00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:24,260 which is really impressive, or if you don't want to do that, then just go right back there, very easy. 113 00:08:24,260 --> 00:08:28,380 This thing comes with a massive seven fans pre-installed, 114 00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:32,060 so we have six inverted fans here blowing that way, 115 00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:36,620 and up and in, and one down at back, meaning you're going to have no trouble cooling 116 00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:41,020 even EAT exports, which you can fit in here with an included bracket. 117 00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:46,820 Of course, around the back, we have back to front support, and this thing is $200. 118 00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:50,700 Now that you have your case though, you need to be able to cool your CPU, 119 00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:53,820 I would highly recommend that, and a good way to do that 120 00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:56,900 is using the Hyperflow ARGB 360. 121 00:08:56,900 --> 00:09:00,100 This thing right here is 27 millimeters thick, 122 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,500 has a pump down in there, and a $96 price tag, 123 00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:08,140 which is pretty heckin' good for a 360 millimeter radiator. 124 00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:13,020 Now, this being, you know, you haven't had a Montec AIO in your computer before, 125 00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:17,860 so maybe you're a little bit concerned about the reliability, and they were concerned you would be concerned as well, 126 00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:21,140 which is why it has a six year warranty with it. 127 00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:27,820 And of course, if this guy's a little bit too expensive, you can spend $85 for the 240 millimeter version, 128 00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:33,100 which is probably good for most CPUs. And speaking of excellent warranties, 129 00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:37,940 we have their Titan PLA power supplies. These guys right here are made by CSonic, 130 00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:43,220 and come with a 10 year warranty, because CSonic's very good at making power supplies. 131 00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:47,740 We love those guys. And we really love that Montec sponsored this video. 132 00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:50,820 Huge thanks for watching this video.
