1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:11,280
this case apart and put it back together oh boy wow that was scary okay guys I

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:14,599
have a treat for you today it

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,320
is much anticipated for me at least the1

4
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:22,480
air mini this is Leon Le's mesh case

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:26,119
that fits an ATX form factor motherboard

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,080
but it's small still and uh I'm really

7
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:34,600
excited Let's uh let's get it open now what I'm excited for with this

8
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:37,680
case is the modularity so you can take

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,440
this case and it'll fit an ATX it'll fit

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,520
an ITX it'll fit matx and it says it even fits eatx but I

11
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:50,280
don't really believe it so we'll have to find out there but uh let's I hate

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,280
getting cases out of

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,600
boxes wow look at all that mesh oh what

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,960
do we have here a little goody radiator off mounting bracket ah yes so these are

15
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:10,640
so we can put in the as long of a rad as we can fit I think it's 240 mil Max in

16
00:01:08,119 --> 00:01:16,119
this thing got a nice big thick I think it's 3

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:20,720
mm uh glass panel and we have mesh on

18
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:22,920
four sides front top back the right side

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,560
and on the bottom we don't have mesh but we do have a fan

20
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,600
filter this has a rather large chungus

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,040
to pull it out but it work works well

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,720
enough we have a 120 mm fan in the back

23
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,960
and that's pwm and up front kind of hard to see cuz it's mesh but can you see

24
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:45,079
that we got two 140s up front uh right

25
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:48,240
now it's in the S IO slot configuration

26
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,360
you can make this uh five slots and that

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,920
will move the motherboard slot down and that gives you a little bit of extra

28
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:58,280
radiator clearance up in the top cuz you are a little limited just I think it's

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,640
25 mm top spacing Max so you'd have to run a thin red if you wanted to run

30
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:06,039
something up here with an ATX motherboard uh we do have support for a

31
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,840
full ATX power supply in here which is super nice especially when you start

32
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:14,319
getting into a higher wattages things get a little bit expensive

33
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:18,840
um let's uh let's open it up and take a look

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,400
inside these absolute chungus thumb

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,400
screws which ones do I even do there's so many of them okay that one's top for

36
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:31,080
sure uh there is no filter so Leon Lee claims that this mesh is fine enough to

37
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:36,720
keep dust out uh I have my doubts but it is pretty fine but at the same time that

38
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,599
will affect airf flow so time will tell

39
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,959
and that's something I can't unfortunately do for you on short

40
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:47,120
circuit uh okay where are we here does it slide ah okay once you get the top

41
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:54,040
off this just slides out there's two little retention pegs that slot into

42
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,519
these slots here we got the two 140 Ms

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:00,599
that's nice to see it's you know this case is I think $100 um for the black

44
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,440
and 110 for the white and that's not a small amount of money

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,760
but the fact that it comes with fans like that's what 30 40 bucks there so

46
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:16,319
that's nice and they match which is which is nice we've got oh derau hello

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,680
so when it says derau you know they take a little bit of consideration into

48
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,080
cooling which is nice given all all the

49
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,720
fans and uh we have this is really

50
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,519
interesting and we're going to test this you can fit four hard drives in here

51
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:36,519
apparently and two ssds that is a lot of storage we have the io

52
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,519
comes down in the back comes up through these two ports these don't have any

53
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,640
grommets but these do which is nice okay uh why don't we try starting to fit some

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,239
stuff in let's start with the uh power supply I got a big old bin of Parts here

55
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:52,519
I know there is a length limitation I think it's 200 mm on this case so we're

56
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,920
going to hope this fits I have hopes and

57
00:03:52,519 --> 00:04:03,799
dreams I mean anything that comes in a velvet

58
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:05,439
bag uh fan side uh-oh uh-oh will she

59
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:12,200
go no oh no no she'll she'll go she'll go

60
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200
no like like it's in

61
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,600
there oh jeez why that's a Phillips come

62
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:27,199
on okay well it's it's barely in there see

63
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,199
if I can get it to actually fully

64
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:34,320
seat like that okay so the little little elevation down there for airf flow

65
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,240
that's kind of nice ah okay so this is

66
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,880
the hard drive accessories and this is the blockoff plate so if you want to

67
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,600
make in an matx or smaller case you put

68
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:47,120
this guy up at the top here and every one of

69
00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:53,039
these panels moves down and you remove these bottom two panels I think you're

70
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,520
pushing it with that that no the okay

71
00:04:53,039 --> 00:05:05,160
here's why I grabb that KN to Fan it's just not just because I'm wearing the shirt today they claim it holds a 290

72
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,199
mm uh Tower cooler and the D15 is 285 mm

73
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,520
so if it fits I'll be very happy you know air

74
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,199
cooling is the way to go I'm just putting out there water cooling yeah

75
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,199
it's cool and all you got liquids running around and looks all pretty but

76
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:24,600
air cooling got a nice big hole cut out in the back so I can kind of avoid h no

77
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:30,400
I should probably put the plate on cuz there seems to be that hard drive sled in the way so we'll pull out the d115

78
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:36,720
while we're at it amount of times I've pulled d15s out of boxes here is too

79
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:39,520
damn High come on get in your

80
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:47,479
hole good dog I don't know it is right up against

81
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,319
that fan there oh yeah no she goes

82
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:54,400
uhhuh I don't even know what I was worried about and I could see it fitting

83
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,360
eatx you know a little bit further up but you wouldn't be holding anything on

84
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,240
here not we're not doing no no no no we're just we're just

85
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:05,120
testing compatibility here it's all the all we got time for yeah if you want to

86
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:09,800
see a whole build of this case you're going to have to bug lonus you know hit

87
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:15,120
him right at Twitter just be like yo I want to see this case looks so cool

88
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,280
build something in it usually mounted this

89
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:25,199
way so you want to put it so that the slots in the tower cooler give you

90
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:30,639
clearance for your RAM which while I'm here I might as well put in

91
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:35,280
uh when you get to PL Cy man you just get to go grab

92
00:06:33,479 --> 00:06:39,800
whatever you feel and I grab some Trident Z Neo 3600 MHz around cuz I

93
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,680
thought it looked cool right now I'm pushing the uh the the mounting plate

94
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,720
back up through the hole so I can get the thumb studs on or the thumb nuts on

95
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,960
didn't ever say PC Building was glamorous sometimes you just got to give a PC a good

96
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:59,199
hug we don't need to put in fans or anything there plenty of RAM clearance

97
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,960
cuz it's a D15 who am I kidding oh man I

98
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:06,960
asked for a GPU jonno not a brick well it is literally it's a dummy

99
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,000
GPU so it is a brick but holy moly this is

100
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:15,759
huge I guess there's no better test than to I feel bad for the pciu

101
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:24,599
slot there's maybe an inch of

102
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:27,520
clearance oh boy yeah no we're we're

103
00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:32,240
going to have to go down a slot CU that's right there good get a little bit

104
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,319
of air flow the other option is they do make a

105
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:43,160
right angle kit so you can just turn this whole plate sideways we don't have

106
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:44,960
one but uh that guy ain't fitting either

107
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,840
okay if you had a normal person graphics card you could probably pull that off

108
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:57,039
but we do not we've got a GPU in here and it is large and in

109
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,039
charge oh boy that got way

110
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,599
heavier I mean it went in without aair and that is about as big as you're ever

111
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:10,560
going to want to fit in a case like this and uh yeah I'm kind of impressed it fit

112
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:14,280
that's why CH it well yeah yeah it was a good call jonno at the end of the day

113
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:20,919
good call I didn't even talk about the io how did I forget that okay up front

114
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:29,000
super nice to see we have USBC up front critical in these

115
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:31,479
times two USB 3.0 power button and a

116
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:36,599
combo USB headphone jack kind of wish they had separate Jacks it's just nice

117
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:42,479
but you know Beggars can't be choosers sorry yes combo headphone mic

118
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Jack and uh yeah Power this is

119
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:48,800
illuminated oh hard drives we're going to try and fit four hard drives and two

120
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:55,440
ssds in the back a we'll do that and then I think uh we we'll we'll bring her

121
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:58,240
home okay I found the oldest hard drives

122
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:04,800
in the LT inventory uh this one I believe is item

123
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:08,399
number 18 in the inventory

124
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,360
system yeah b0016 this is the 16th item

125
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:13,680
we ever inventoried I'm not going to get too crazy and actually bow them all in

126
00:09:12,079 --> 00:09:20,959
cuz that sounds timec consuming but you know more or less two

127
00:09:17,079 --> 00:09:24,160
there wait there's more then we have

128
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:27,399
this sled over here these guys go on

129
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,399
this bracket that we pulled

130
00:09:27,959 --> 00:09:35,640
off like that's just just nice one Fastener you have one that goes there

131
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:41,839
one that would go on the underside under there I mean yeah it'll fit all of these

132
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:48,200
things it's going to weigh a ton but it'll fit it it'll fit four hard drives

133
00:09:44,839 --> 00:09:50,399
two ssds and whatever graphics cards you

134
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:54,760
can throw at it and anything ATX and smaller I mean this is a great option

135
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:58,800
for someone who wants this aesthetic this form factor I'm just talking from a

136
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:03,680
hey I took this case apart and put it back together oh

137
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,680
boy

138
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:11,959
wow what is even holding it in still minus one

139
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,690
point sketchy glass retention and oh

140
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:17,749
yeah just for you

141
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600
guys

142
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:29,800
static there we are this is a clearly

143
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,399
well thought out case you know there are

144
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:37,279
a lot of parts that if they didn't fit together perfectly here they wouldn't

145
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,440
work at all and uh it's impressive that

146
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:42,200
they do fit together and they like made

147
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:47,279
such a solid case out of the whole thing all in all you have dust filtration the

148
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:51,000
whole way around hopefully good breathability um something we can't

149
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,920
really test here but given all the mesh I can assume there's going to be a lot

150
00:10:52,200 --> 00:11:00,440
of air flow and uh the form factor is nice it's wider than a normal case but

151
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,560
Squat and small and cute and it's white

152
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:07,680
I'm going to say this is a good option if you're looking for something in this form factor I'd seriously consider

153
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:13,160
taking a look at this went together pretty well comes with fans Price is

154
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,639
Right you know made by reputable makers

155
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:19,240
well that's it for our first look at the1 air if uh you like our case videos

156
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,800
why don't you look at Alex's meshify case video and of course get subscribed

158
