trying","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":157.04,"end_s":163.8,"text":"to be really careful without whoops touching it too much because uh once you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":161.68,"end_s":167.68,"text":"touch brushed aluminum basically the Finish is ruined forever so you can see","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":165.92,"end_s":171.159,"text":"it's a solid piece going all the way up the front and then it's another

two","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":172.68,"end_s":177.959,"text":"pieces going around the whole outside of the case which I think is really

though because","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":228.439,"end_s":234.76,"text":"you do have a fair amount of room included for an air cooler so you can see the motherboard is going to be right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":232.4,"end_s":240.2,"text":"above here so any air cooler that'll fit within here actually I think the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":235.959,"end_s":242.959,"text":"dimensions hold on maximum of 90 mm or 9","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":240.2,"end_s":247.519,"text":"cm from

for attaching the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":249.92,"end_s":257.68,"text":"side panels so these are little

if you wanted to use an allen key to wonder if it comes with an allen","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":263.24,"end_s":269.72,"text":"key doesn't surprise me that much if you're going to go ahead and you know","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":267.84,"end_s":275.32,"text":"make your case open up with an allen key I guess you better include one there it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":271.8,"end_s":277.479,"text":"is haa Allen key SL buzzer so it does","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":275.32,"end_s":282.919,"text":"come with a a speaker which is what I think they mean by","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.84,"end_s":285.16,"text":"buzzer all right there we go then we got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":282.919,"end_s":293.56,"text":"another one here four of these oh this isn't so bad","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":289.36,"end_s":293.56,"text":"I could I can dig it oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":293.759,"end_s":303.24,"text":"okay and there we go so solid","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":298.639,"end_s":303.24,"text":"aluminum ha I'm totally going to do","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":303.759,"end_s":311.479,"text":"it and he whipped out the iPhone thickness comparison bam now you know","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":309.12,"end_s":316.32,"text":"how thick the panel is it's fairly thick actually it has a very rigid feel to it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":313.72,"end_s":320.52,"text":"so this is in theory to reduce the overall vibration of the case so the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":318.639,"end_s":324.16,"text":"overall noise level of the case they also have anti vibration rubber","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":322.44,"end_s":329.72,"text":"dampeners here on the side panels this can be a real problem for aluminum cases","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":326.639,"end_s":331.16,"text":"if you don't have some way to to isolate","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":329.72,"end_s":336.08,"text":"the vibration because they're much lighter weight than their steel","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":333.44,"end_s":341.6,"text":"counterparts which has the advantage of being well light weight attractive","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":339.84,"end_s":348.319,"text":"easier to work with you can make more beautiful aluminum cases than you often","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":344.12,"end_s":350.52,"text":"can out of uh steel and uh and plastic","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":348.319,"end_s":355.52,"text":"but the drawback is that well it's not as strong so you have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":354.08,"end_s":361.039,"text":"to use thicker material which can be more expensive and then also that it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":358.319,"end_s":366.72,"text":"uh not as not as um not as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":364.479,"end_s":370.68,"text":"heavy all right let's just get both of these side panels off here all right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":369.52,"end_s":376.0,"text":"here you can see the other one if you want basically looks the same like the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":372.599,"end_s":380.199,"text":"same thing and also has the uh rubber","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":376.0,"end_s":381.919,"text":"noise dampening solution implemented on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.199,"end_s":385.12,"text":"the other side as well you can see that you can also see the motherboard tray as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":383.599,"end_s":390.68,"text":"well as the interior cables look at that all black cables very nice touch like to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":387.24,"end_s":391.72,"text":"see that all right so inside here we got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":390.68,"end_s":396.8,"text":"a few things we have oh this is kind of neat","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":395.599,"end_s":404.12,"text":"hold on I'm going to have to go find a hard drive so I can install this and show you guys this all right so here are","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":400.759,"end_s":405.96,"text":"the uh rubber noise isolation Fasteners","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.12,"end_s":409.759,"text":"as well as some included hard drive screws and of course once you've","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":408.0,"end_s":412.479,"text":"installed them you have a nice little trap to play","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":416.12,"end_s":423.36,"text":"with see how the wheels realistically turn just like a real vehicle","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":420.56,"end_s":430.639,"text":"would V uh no so here's how you actually install your hard drive you go ahead and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":425.44,"end_s":434.12,"text":"you slide this bad boy into whoops no ah","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":430.639,"end_s":438.72,"text":"first you need to take this off there we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":434.12,"end_s":440.56,"text":"are and then this slides out of the way","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":438.72,"end_s":444.36,"text":"pretty cool I guess you don't have to take it all the way off either look at","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":441.8,"end_s":447.639,"text":"that you slide those guys in there and then","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":445.4,"end_s":452.28,"text":"you oh hold on slide it in the right way if you want","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":451.039,"end_s":458.08,"text":"to have an optimal user","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":454.36,"end_s":461.56,"text":"experience and then you put this over","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.08,"end_s":464.759,"text":"here which will prevent the Wheel from","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":461.56,"end_s":466.4,"text":"moving and continue to isolate the uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":464.759,"end_s":472.039,"text":"vibration from your hard drive so that's pretty cool hey I certainly think so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":469.56,"end_s":476.36,"text":"they also include and for a lot of companies this is sort of optional stuff","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":473.879,"end_s":483.319,"text":"but they see how this one already has uh the sliders installed and uh it has a 2","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":480.039,"end_s":486.919,"text":"and 1/2 in SSD Mount included so you can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":483.319,"end_s":488.759,"text":"do up to 3 3 and 1/2 in hard drives and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":486.919,"end_s":493.039,"text":"two 2 and2 in hard drives in spite of the fact that this is an ITX

included","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":495.159,"end_s":502.8,"text":"black three Pin cable uh what else we got in terms of interial ah yes so let's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":500.12,"end_s":508.36,"text":"show just what kind of space there is for installing graphics cards this is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":505.759,"end_s":512.0,"text":"cool so I'm going to grab the longest graphics card that I have happen to have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":510.12,"end_s":515.959,"text":"handy which also happens to be the longest graphics card that anyone","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":513.76,"end_s":520.2,"text":"happens to have handy probably this is a Radeon HD","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":517.719,"end_s":525.8,"text":"6990 so if you wanted to build yourself an extreme little gaming box with","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":523.44,"end_s":532.8,"text":"emphasis on extremely little you could throw even a radon 6990 in here with","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.64,"end_s":534.88,"text":"room to spare and you can throw a 120 mm","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":532.8,"end_s":539.12,"text":"fan down here which you can use either as an exhaust or as an intake depending","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":537.68,"end_s":545.519,"text":"on the configuration of your card so if you're using using a blower fan like this guy right here I would probably use","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":541.88,"end_s":547.2,"text":"it as an intake so that's really cool","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":545.519,"end_s":552.24,"text":"with the 5 and a/4 in Bay is pretty self-explanatory in fact I think the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":549.56,"end_s":556.8,"text":"rest of this case is mostly pretty self-explanatory very cool little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":553.959,"end_s":562.72,"text":"enclosure so for a size comparison I mean here it is next to a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":559.6,"end_s":566.56,"text":"fairly bog standard mini tower also next","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":562.72,"end_s":568.24,"text":"to the uh

it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":569.839,"end_s":574.92,"text":"quite wide for an ITX enclosure and the reason for that would be so that they'll","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":573.12,"end_s":579.36,"text":"have all the space that they allocated for things like coolers as well as the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":576.68,"end_s":584.48,"text":"fulls sizee power supply but it is very very short compared to Mid Tower

ice you can see that it was sent from new Taipei City in Taiwan okay there's some sort of yeah sort of okay box art going on here but I think where we're really going to enjoy this unboxing is once the box is actually open because this is a case that I think looks incredibly cool this is a mini ITX chassis with okay as you might imagine based on their mini ice name and the fact that the tagline for it is frozen solid with fair this is a mini ITX case with fairly Advanced cooling features that can also support some pretty Advanced Hardware so the first thing we see when we open it up is an accessory box but we'll get to that later we also see the packaging now they're using a hard foam I would prefer to see a soft foam however due to the aluminum construction of this case it really doesn't weigh a whole lot so it's a lot less likely to damage its packing materials during the shipping process and uh I mean honestly if it managed to survive an air shipment from Taiwan to here then it's that's probably about as much of a of a stress test as you're going to need for it however once it's loaded up with components we might be having a different conversation because it does support some pretty high-end internal components including a full-sized ATX power supply as well as a graphics card up to 340 mm so let's go ahead and open this bad boy up all right so actually give me a second to get acquainted here guys so I'm just kind of checking things out here um it arrived a little bit dusty but it's nothing that doesn't come off with the old sleeve wipe so to speak so let's have a look at the outside of the case before we go too much further here so on the top you're going to see a 140 mm fan that is set up as an exhaust fan so this is only compatible with 140 mil you can see the holes are hard drilled around the outside of the grill in terms of IO we have front USB 2 two of those two front usb3 as well as front headphones and microphone the overall look of the case actually reminds me a little bit of my tj07 and that it has this single piece aluminum thing going on on the front sorry I guys I'm trying to be really careful without whoops touching it too much because uh once you touch brushed aluminum basically the Finish is ruined forever so you can see it's a solid piece going all the way up the front and then it's another solid piece going all the way up the back and then meeting right here so it's two pieces going around the whole outside of the case which I think is really cool you've got an optional VGA cooling intake here as well as feet on the bottom of the case giving it a little bit of space to breathe on the front of the chassis uh let's just lift it back up we've got a 5 and 1/4 inch optical drive bay as well as our uh Power and IDE or I shouldn't call it IDE like so hard drive activity indicator we've got power and reset buttons as well as a stylish cubc logo going on here all right let's move around to the back of the case where we find our standard ATX power supply Mount so you can see that's done with just a couple thumb screws you screw your power supply into the plate and then slide the whole thing into place this is much like the PC Q7 that I have for my media PC downstairs water cooling holes if you wanted to externally water cool it I hope you're not going to do that with a configuration like this though because you do have a fair amount of room included for an air cooler so you can see the motherboard is going to be right above here so any air cooler that'll fit within here actually I think the dimensions hold on maximum of 90 mm or 9 cm from the uh from the motherboard itself so we've got two expansion slots yes this is Mini ITX and we also have a very unique system for attaching the side panels so these are little thumb screws that uh have Allen key spots in them so if you wanted to use an allen key to wonder if it comes with an allen key doesn't surprise me that much if you're going to go ahead and you know make your case open up with an allen key I guess you better include one there it is haa Allen key SL buzzer so it does come with a a speaker which is what I think they mean by buzzer all right there we go then we got another one here four of these oh this isn't so bad I could I can dig it oh okay and there we go so solid aluminum ha I'm totally going to do it and he whipped out the iPhone thickness comparison bam now you know how thick the panel is it's fairly thick actually it has a very rigid feel to it so this is in theory to reduce the overall vibration of the case so the overall noise level of the case they also have anti vibration rubber dampeners here on the side panels this can be a real problem for aluminum cases if you don't have some way to to isolate the vibration because they're much lighter weight than their steel counterparts which has the advantage of being well light weight attractive easier to work with you can make more beautiful aluminum cases than you often can out of uh steel and uh and plastic but the drawback is that well it's not as strong so you have to use thicker material which can be more expensive and then also that it's uh not as not as um not as heavy all right let's just get both of these side panels off here all right here you can see the other one if you want basically looks the same like the same thing and also has the uh rubber noise dampening solution implemented on the other side as well you can see that you can also see the motherboard tray as well as the interior cables look at that all black cables very nice touch like to see that all right so inside here we got a few things we have oh this is kind of neat hold on I'm going to have to go find a hard drive so I can install this and show you guys this all right so here are the uh rubber noise isolation Fasteners as well as some included hard drive screws and of course once you've installed them you have a nice little trap to play with see how the wheels realistically turn just like a real vehicle would V uh no so here's how you actually install your hard drive you go ahead and you slide this bad boy into whoops no ah first you need to take this off there we are and then this slides out of the way pretty cool I guess you don't have to take it all the way off either look at that you slide those guys in there and then you oh hold on slide it in the right way if you want to have an optimal user experience and then you put this over here which will prevent the Wheel from moving and continue to isolate the uh vibration from your hard drive so that's pretty cool hey I certainly think so they also include and for a lot of companies this is sort of optional stuff but they see how this one already has uh the sliders installed and uh it has a 2 and 1/2 in SSD Mount included so you can do up to 3 3 and 1/2 in hard drives and two 2 and2 in hard drives in spite of the fact that this is an ITX enclosure check that out there's your 140 mm internal cooling fan with an included black three Pin cable uh what else we got in terms of interial ah yes so let's show just what kind of space there is for installing graphics cards this is cool so I'm going to grab the longest graphics card that I have happen to have handy which also happens to be the longest graphics card that anyone happens to have handy probably this is a Radeon HD 6990 so if you wanted to build yourself an extreme little gaming box with emphasis on extremely little you could throw even a radon 6990 in here with room to spare and you can throw a 120 mm fan down here which you can use either as an exhaust or as an intake depending on the configuration of your card so if you're using using a blower fan like this guy right here I would probably use it as an intake so that's really cool with the 5 and a/4 in Bay is pretty self-explanatory in fact I think the rest of this case is mostly pretty self-explanatory very cool little enclosure so for a size comparison I mean here it is next to a fairly bog standard mini tower also next to the uh mangoes that I was eating that I'm no longer eating and we'll take down stair shortly so you you can see it's quite wide for an ITX enclosure and the reason for that would be so that they'll have all the space that they allocated for things like coolers as well as the fulls sizee power supply but it is very very short compared to Mid Tower so it'll look right at home on your desk without uh without that looking weird ah yes the internal connectors so uhhuh pretty standard stuff here too so we've got our front panel connectors you know your LEDs your reset switch power switch you got your front HD audio as well as your front USB one uh USB 2 and your front usb3 so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first
