00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:07.120
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:11.440
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.160
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:23.880
linkis three cases that are actually designed around the same chassis in

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.679
spite of the fact that they look completely different from each other in

00:00:26.279 --> 00:00:34.239
pretty much every possible way so the concept with this classy design was to

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:38.640
take a proven design that that we've seen from silverstone's 90° rotated

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:41.840
motherboard concept where they have the uh where they actually have all the AO

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:46.520
coming out the top and take that performance that cooling performance and

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:51.320
put it in an upright design so in this case we have an inverted motherboard so

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

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.039
with the power supply at the top back you are expected to have your power

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

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

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:12.000
ATX eight slots so okay okay okay so you

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

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:20.840
we've got this is the plastic design case Guys these are prototypes so don't

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.079
mind the manufacturing sort of anomalies

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

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

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.439
for noise cancellation as what you're about to see with the F4 but it does

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

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

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

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.479
these newer ones are 90% so that again

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

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:06.600
pressure fans and able to create that positive air flow or positive pressure

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:09.160
inside the case and as well as moving

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:13.080
air through a restrictive Grill although in this case the grill really isn't that

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:18.040
restrictive now we're going to move over to this guy right here the F4 takes

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

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.800
quality so it's using Alum unibody

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

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

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:38.200
they did this with the folds see this shape here this is a single piece this

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:42.640
is not a manufacturing trick and it is not made of plastic they've also added

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:48.200
noise dampening to the F4 on all the panels so front top and side panels and

00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:53.480
they're using a higher quality AP 181 fan so instead of the Raven case series

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

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

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:06.360
fine-tune the case for how much noise you want to hear versus How much cooling

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:10.799
performance you want to have the way that they achieve the air flow that they

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.080
need in this one is to have these vents

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

00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:19.040
these point to the back this is also part of what makes this case more silent

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:22.959
because instead of directing air towards the user sitting in front of the case

00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:26.400
rather air noise towards the user it directs the noise out the back of the

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:30.920
case so there's noise dampening noise dampening noise redirection but still

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:36.720
plenty of air flow because this is quite open and free

00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:38.879
flowing which leads us to the internal

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.439
nickname is apparently the mammoth this is the mm1 so they took this case and

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

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.959
really cool and sweet but not everyone needs that much cooling performance so

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

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

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:06.159
just a moment so this is obviously very early prototype this is just like

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.280
basically a hunk of metal that comes down and reveals your IO so you got your

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

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:18.519
away this right here is if I can figure

00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:22.919
out how it comes out there we go check this out

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.800
guys I know right basically they've

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.400
decided to put a car air filter into a

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:37.080
case now because they're using AP 182 fans which as I said before are

00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:41.199
optimized for pressure they're still going to be able to deliver enough air

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

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:50.039
high-end system so no I wouldn't recommend running four GTX 680s in here

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

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:57.240
this is where you see the resemblance to the other chassis a little bit better

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

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

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:10.280
solid piece and all of the vents on the front and the back are directed

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

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

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

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

00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:28.440
the back looks like so the back is a

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:33.479
very similar design and what they've done is they've put a space between the

00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:37.800
io and the back of the actual enclosure outside where you can run all of the

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

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

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:49.039
reposition these too much because then you'll see my entire production crew

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

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

00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:04.360
let's go right over here this is a dual monitor stand

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:06.319
that is capable of 360° rotation it can

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.280
move in pretty much any direction you could possibly want check this out it is

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.080
built out of there you can hear that solid

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:19.160
aluminum and it is extremely robust feeling so you can take that move it all

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

00:06:20.919 --> 00:06:26.639
required to move it around just like that we can rotate it as much or as

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:30.720
little as we want to in whatever direction we want align the monitors

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:35.479
this one right here is a touch screen and I am just very very impressed with

00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:40.039
this particular product I don't think I've seen anything before that allows

00:06:37.960 --> 00:06:42.680
this degree of flexibility so there's no pricing available for this one yet

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

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:51.680
geek out when I see stuff like this oh yeah I had forgotten these were back

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

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

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:06.120
ITX with low profile expansion cards and you got 280 mm fans over there on the

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

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:15.680
sneak past you here and move this monitor out of the way ah so convenient

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:21.479
is the M4 so this is a continuation in their Milo series and basically it adds

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.199
a lockable front panel just a gorgeous

00:07:21.479 --> 00:07:27.240
thick aluminum front panel to an otherwise sort of very very plain very

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
