1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,560
I'll be honest in the past I wasn't exactly all that enthused by be quiet!

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,320
cases they were kind of boring and simplistic in my opinion I'm not saying

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:16,119
they weren't good and if they were your thing I mean hey you do you man I'm here

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:21,720
to review not judge and this may be the most modular case that I've ever seen

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,680
like seriously everything moves but I'll

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:28,359
get into that later I guess judging is kind of part of the reviewing process

7
00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:37,719
but let's not worry about that just roll the intro

8
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:43,760
int skull Canyon knck features a sixth generation core i7 processor and

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,840
Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in the video description down below okay so

10
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,280
as with all of my case reviews let's start with the front and it's brushed

11
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:56,559
aluminum door which opens by simply pressing the top leftand corner so I

12
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:01,680
suggest doing that with some sort of cloth or even sticking an adhesive pad

13
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,920
on the corner so you don't stain it with your finger oils it's brushed aluminum

14
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:11,759
that is a problem it is quite frustrating to deal with as with all

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,119
brushed aluminum but it does look great

16
00:01:11,759 --> 00:01:16,920
as David has said they should almost call it be careful instead of be quiet! I

17
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:22,000
thought that was kind of funny but and that's why I'm wearing these gloves it makes handling the case much more easy

18
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,600
on the reverse side of the door there is also some noise dampening materials

19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,280
which does kind of fit the be quiet! name a little better revealed by the door and

20
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,640
starting at the top is a fan speed controller switch and an LED switch

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,560
featured only on the pro model two 5 and

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:42,079
1/4in Bays so you can install Optical drives to use as drink holders an easily

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,240
removable fan filter for your front fans

24
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:47,479
and a giant pull tab to remove a the fan

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,520
filter for the entirety of the bottom of the case including the power supply away

26
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:55,840
at the back also note that you need to remove this large fan filter in order to

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,280
take off the front of the case or you'll end up in a funny situation the top

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,920
features a chi charging area the pro model and in terms of I/O you've got two

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,280
USB 2.0 two USB 3.0 ports headphone and

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:12,640
microphone jacks a large set power button and a small reset button along

31
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,720
with a drive activity led the bottom is a continuation of the brushed aluminum

32
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,120
and features some large feet to pick the case up off the ground which at first

33
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:26,560
seems a little weird because there's no venting on the bottom but it is intended

34
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,760
to get the side mounted venting up out of the carpet so that the bottom of the

35
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:35,160
case can breathe that that way the left side panel is the now surprisingly

36
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,239
common one giant piece of tempered glass and is buffered from some scratches by

37
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:44,239
mounting on rubber wrapped thread points the right side panel is basically one

38
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:48,879
large blank surface of plastic that features some awesomely captive thumb

39
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:54,000
screws but there is a removable panel that features a fan filter and two 120

40
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,720
mm fan mounting points just in case you really love buying fans and that brings

41
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,879
us to the inside the back of the motherboard tray features feur a

42
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:06,840
satisfactory amount of cable management zap strap Loops a single 2 and 1/2 in

43
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Drive Mount which is too narrow for comfort as fitting in a few different

44
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:16,040
ssds was legitimately problematic for some of them the pro version of the fan

45
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:20,920
and LED controller which features four three pin fan connectors and four four

46
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:26,159
pin fan connectors along with two LED strip connectors to go along with the

47
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,200
two included rigid LED strips and then

48
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,560
everything else moves oh my God even the

49
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,439
previously men side panels can swap which side they're on the motherboard

50
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:40,400
can flip over to the other side of the case or even be raised or lowered the

51
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:46,159
hard drive cage which features up to seven Drive slots Each of which can hold

52
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,599
one full-size hard drive or two ssds if

53
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:53,159
you are so inclined and yeah it can even change what side it's on too even the at

54
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,560
first weird looking internal Power Supply Mount makes more sense once you

55
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,640
realize it can slide back and forth hell

56
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,799
yeah uh H anyways almost nothing on the

57
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,879
inside of the case is in a permanent position this would allow you to have

58
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:13,720
your computer on the other side of your desk or have the front pointed away from

59
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,400
you but still have the internals shown in through all of their Glory through

60
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,759
that tempered glass side panel two gripes that I do have though are one due

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
to the excessive amount of thumb screws on the back of the hard drive stack

62
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,400
you'll have a hard time properly using a right angle SATA cable here and due to

63
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,400
the cable management hole positioning and standoff height for the motherboard

64
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:40,120
they're not great to use there either which might cause some problems and

65
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,639
installing the power supply is a pane four screws for the side panels four

66
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,800
screws for the power supply itself and then an additional eight screws for the

67
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,560
side mounts for the power supply and if you're doing a PSU Swap and have a tall

68
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,000
screwdriver potentially another two for your graphics card or even more if you

69
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:05,360
have other various addin cards this totals to 32 screw operations compared

70
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,919
to the standard 16 seems like not a big

71
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,199
deal but it's kind of annoying moving on once you decide where it all goes out of

72
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,639
what I think is a total of six logical positions you can then get to cooling it

73
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:24,639
it comes with three silent Wings three 140 mm fans but you can expand on that

74
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:28,199
with a up to 360 or 420 mm rad in the

75
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:33,199
top and front of the case a 120 or 140

76
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:36,120
mm rad in the back and a 140 or 280 rad

77
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:40,479
in the bottom and the fan mounts to boot you've got basically whatever options

78
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:44,759
you may want which may be a little Overkill considering modern computer

79
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:49,440
components don't even really generate that much heat but you do you man a note

80
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:54,919
here as well is that in order to remove the top of the case you will need to as

81
00:05:52,039 --> 00:05:59,160
it says on page 49 of the manual Frist remove the front panel wherever they

82
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:04,120
could they included more of that noise dampening foam Quality Construction from

83
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:09,199
a German computer hardware company insanely modular computer to the nth

84
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:12,680
degree ability to house pretty much whatever you want especially on the

85
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:17,319
cooling side of things and speed controls and lighting features to match

86
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,440
a bit of an advanced case that will take some time in planning and maybe a little

87
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,080
bit of frustration but I say it's a step in the right direction although I do

88
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,280
think a power supply basement of some sort may have won over a few more Hearts

89
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:33,039
as seeing all of those cables just laying there feels a little like the old

90
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:37,919
days although you might have gotten some more mileage out of it with some black sleeved cables all right guys thanks for

91
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,840
watching like it if you liked it dislike if you disliked it and you're were like whoa that was a lot of sarcasm in one

92
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:47,479
video don't worry about it I don't really know why that happened it just

93
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:48,800
did me actually it looks beautiful once

94
00:06:47,479 --> 00:06:52,479
you're done it is just a little bit frustrating to build in anyways if

95
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:57,440
you're wondering what to do next you can go to the Forum and discuss this case or

96
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:02,639
various other thing with a plethora of other internet people you can check not

97
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:06,199
this product or others on Amazon and you can buy a t-shirt which isn't this one

98
00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:10,440
this one's kind of cute and stuff but we don't sell it so that's probably fine

99
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:15,720
check out this video up here which is something else from be quiet! which will

100
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,720
mean that it's probably an old

101
00:07:16,599 --> 00:07:21,879
video I'm going to just leave now
