00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,120
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,440
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,160
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

4
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:23,880
linkis three cases that are actually designed around the same chassis in

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:28,679
spite of the fact that they look completely different from each other in

6
00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:34,239
pretty much every possible way so the concept with this classy design was to

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,640
take a proven design that that we've seen from silverstone's 90° rotated

8
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:41,840
motherboard concept where they have the uh where they actually have all the AO

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:46,520
coming out the top and take that performance that cooling performance and

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:51,320
put it in an upright design so in this case we have an inverted motherboard so

11
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:55,440
the io is down at the bottom and the expansion slots are up here at the top

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,039
with the power supply at the top back you are expected to have your power

13
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:03,680
supply fan facing the top of the case there's a filtered in take right here at

14
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:09,080
the back it's got room for six 3 and 1/2 in drives it's you know your standard

15
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:12,000
ATX eight slots so okay okay okay so you

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:16,159
don't see the work that went into it yet but here at the front so this is the rv4

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,840
we've got this is the plastic design case Guys these are prototypes so don't

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:23,079
mind the manufacturing sort of anomalies

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:28,720
here so you've got a plastic front with an open side so this is what makes the

20
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,560
air flow so strong in this case it's completely open here it's not as good

21
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,439
for noise cancellation as what you're about to see with the F4 but it does

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:42,280
give you the air flow you need so here they've also redesign the grills and I

23
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:46,079
hope I can figure out how to get it out there we go I'm going to pretend

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:53,520
that's the right way to take it off so they've redesigned the grills the older ones allowed 60% airf flow transmission

25
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,479
these newer ones are 90% so that again

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:01,439
is how they are able to achieve that they've used ap11 fans so these are high

27
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:06,600
pressure fans and able to create that positive air flow or positive pressure

28
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:09,160
inside the case and as well as moving

29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:13,080
air through a restrictive Grill although in this case the grill really isn't that

30
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:18,040
restrictive now we're going to move over to this guy right here the F4 takes

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,280
everything that's good about the rv4 and steps it up a huge notch in terms of the

32
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,800
quality so it's using Alum unibody

33
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,040
aluminum here on the top and here in the front check this out from the side this

34
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:34,519
is a single piece of aluminum that it's actually been like I don't even know how

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,200
they did this with the folds see this shape here this is a single piece this

36
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:42,640
is not a manufacturing trick and it is not made of plastic they've also added

37
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:48,200
noise dampening to the F4 on all the panels so front top and side panels and

38
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:53,480
they're using a higher quality AP 181 fan so instead of the Raven case series

39
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:56,800
case's switch is here where it's got a high and a low speed setting this one

40
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:02,640
has a dial so you can take it all the way from 500 RPM to 2,000 RPM m to

41
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,360
fine-tune the case for how much noise you want to hear versus How much cooling

42
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,799
performance you want to have the way that they achieve the air flow that they

43
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,080
need in this one is to have these vents

44
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:15,480
here don't worry I'll reposition the case to have these vents at the back so

45
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:19,040
these point to the back this is also part of what makes this case more silent

46
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,959
because instead of directing air towards the user sitting in front of the case

47
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,400
rather air noise towards the user it directs the noise out the back of the

48
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,920
case so there's noise dampening noise dampening noise redirection but still

49
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:36,720
plenty of air flow because this is quite open and free

50
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:38,879
flowing which leads us to the internal

51
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,439
nickname is apparently the mammoth this is the mm1 so they took this case and

52
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:48,280
they went okay we got these high pressure optimized fans we got this great cooling performance this is all

53
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,959
really cool and sweet but not everyone needs that much cooling performance so

54
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:58,400
why don't we take this optimized design and turn it into a total Beast that is

55
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,040
dust free so yes this is a dust free case and I'm going to show you why in

56
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:06,159
just a moment so this is obviously very early prototype this is just like

57
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:10,280
basically a hunk of metal that comes down and reveals your IO so you got your

58
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:15,720
USB 3 your front buttons all this kind of cool stuff so I'm going to put that

59
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,519
away this right here is if I can figure

60
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,919
out how it comes out there we go check this out

61
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,800
guys I know right basically they've

62
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,400
decided to put a car air filter into a

63
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:37,080
case now because they're using AP 182 fans which as I said before are

64
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,199
optimized for pressure they're still going to be able to deliver enough air

65
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:45,160
flow to the inside of the case to take care of a reasonably sort of mid to

66
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:50,039
high-end system so no I wouldn't recommend running four GTX 680s in here

67
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,560
but running something like a single 680 you're going to be fine so there's those

68
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,240
this is where you see the resemblance to the other chassis a little bit better

69
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,960
than uh than what you were able to see before so it's not only dust proof but

70
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:06,759
they're also saying it is spill proof because of the fact that the top is one

71
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,280
solid piece and all of the vents on the front and the back are directed

72
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:13,759
downwards so if you were to spill a cup of coffee on the top of this case it

73
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,919
would all go down it would get on your carpet but at least it wouldn't wreck

74
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,280
your computer I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to try and turn this okay

75
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:27,000
we're going to go to the other side of it so that I can uh show you guys what

76
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,440
the back looks like so the back is a

77
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,479
very similar design and what they've done is they've put a space between the

78
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:37,800
io and the back of the actual enclosure outside where you can run all of the

79
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,160
cables that you need just like that last thing we're going to check out in the

80
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:44,919
Silverstone Suite is over here and this is very very cool and I'm not going to

81
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,039
reposition these too much because then you'll see my entire production crew

82
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:53,000
through the uh the mirror that's behind it actually if you guys want to move over here a little bit then you can get

83
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:58,880
an angle that's more like from that direction so I'll take the mic and uh

84
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:04,360
let's go right over here this is a dual monitor stand

85
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:06,319
that is capable of 360° rotation it can

86
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,280
move in pretty much any direction you could possibly want check this out it is

87
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,080
built out of there you can hear that solid

88
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:19,160
aluminum and it is extremely robust feeling so you can take that move it all

89
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,120
the way down here move it all the way back up here there's no there's no Force

90
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:26,639
required to move it around just like that we can rotate it as much or as

91
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:30,720
little as we want to in whatever direction we want align the monitors

92
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,479
this one right here is a touch screen and I am just very very impressed with

93
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:40,039
this particular product I don't think I've seen anything before that allows

94
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,680
this degree of flexibility so there's no pricing available for this one yet

95
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,919
because I'm sure you guys were going to ask but it's just I don't know I kind of

96
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,680
geek out when I see stuff like this oh yeah I had forgotten these were back

97
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:56,280
here so there's an ITX enclosure this is the M5 using an sfx power supply they've

98
00:06:54,759 --> 00:07:01,560
done away with 3 and 1 half in drives entirely to save on space and it accepts

99
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:06,120
ITX with low profile expansion cards and you got 280 mm fans over there on the

100
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:10,280
right for cooling the last case over here on the right so I'm just going to

101
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,680
sneak past you here and move this monitor out of the way ah so convenient

102
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:21,479
is the M4 so this is a continuation in their Milo series and basically it adds

103
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,199
a lockable front panel just a gorgeous

104
00:07:21,479 --> 00:07:27,240
thick aluminum front panel to an otherwise sort of very very plain very

105
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:33,199
elegant looking home theater case this is the kind of thing we're used to seeing from Silverstone don't miss any
