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!

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.320
cases they were kind of boring and simplistic in my opinion I'm not saying

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

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

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.680
like seriously everything moves but I'll

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:28.359
get into that later I guess judging is kind of part of the reviewing process

00:00:26.279 --> 00:00:37.719
but let's not worry about that just roll the intro

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:43.760
int skull Canyon knck features a sixth generation core i7 processor and

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.840
Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in the video description down below okay so

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

00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:56.559
aluminum door which opens by simply pressing the top leftand corner so I

00:00:54.440 --> 00:01:01.680
suggest doing that with some sort of cloth or even sticking an adhesive pad

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

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.759
that is a problem it is quite frustrating to deal with as with all

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:13.119
brushed aluminum but it does look great

00:01:11.759 --> 00:01:16.920
as David has said they should almost call it be careful instead of be quiet! I

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

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:25.600
on the reverse side of the door there is also some noise dampening materials

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

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.640
starting at the top is a fan speed controller switch and an LED switch

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.560
featured only on the pro model two 5 and

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:42.079
1/4in Bays so you can install Optical drives to use as drink holders an easily

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:45.240
removable fan filter for your front fans

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.479
and a giant pull tab to remove a the fan

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:51.520
filter for the entirety of the bottom of the case including the power supply away

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

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

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

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:08.280
USB 2.0 two USB 3.0 ports headphone and

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.640
microphone jacks a large set power button and a small reset button along

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.720
with a drive activity led the bottom is a continuation of the brushed aluminum

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:21.120
and features some large feet to pick the case up off the ground which at first

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:26.560
seems a little weird because there's no venting on the bottom but it is intended

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

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:35.160
case can breathe that that way the left side panel is the now surprisingly

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.239
common one giant piece of tempered glass and is buffered from some scratches by

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:44.239
mounting on rubber wrapped thread points the right side panel is basically one

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:48.879
large blank surface of plastic that features some awesomely captive thumb

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:54.000
screws but there is a removable panel that features a fan filter and two 120

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:58.720
mm fan mounting points just in case you really love buying fans and that brings

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:01.879
us to the inside the back of the motherboard tray features feur a

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.840
satisfactory amount of cable management zap strap Loops a single 2 and 1/2 in

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:11.720
Drive Mount which is too narrow for comfort as fitting in a few different

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:16.040
ssds was legitimately problematic for some of them the pro version of the fan

00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:20.920
and LED controller which features four three pin fan connectors and four four

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:26.159
pin fan connectors along with two LED strip connectors to go along with the

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:29.200
two included rigid LED strips and then

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:31.560
everything else moves oh my God even the

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:35.439
previously men side panels can swap which side they're on the motherboard

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

00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:46.159
hard drive cage which features up to seven Drive slots Each of which can hold

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.599
one full-size hard drive or two ssds if

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

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:58.560
first weird looking internal Power Supply Mount makes more sense once you

00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:02.640
realize it can slide back and forth hell

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.799
yeah uh H anyways almost nothing on the

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:08.879
inside of the case is in a permanent position this would allow you to have

00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:13.720
your computer on the other side of your desk or have the front pointed away from

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:17.400
you but still have the internals shown in through all of their Glory through

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:21.759
that tempered glass side panel two gripes that I do have though are one due

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:26.000
to the excessive amount of thumb screws on the back of the hard drive stack

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

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.400
the cable management hole positioning and standoff height for the motherboard

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:40.120
they're not great to use there either which might cause some problems and

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:43.639
installing the power supply is a pane four screws for the side panels four

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:48.800
screws for the power supply itself and then an additional eight screws for the

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

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:58.000
screwdriver potentially another two for your graphics card or even more if you

00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:05.360
have other various addin cards this totals to 32 screw operations compared

00:05:01.880 --> 00:05:07.919
to the standard 16 seems like not a big

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

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

00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:24.639
it comes with three silent Wings three 140 mm fans but you can expand on that

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:28.199
with a up to 360 or 420 mm rad in the

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:33.199
top and front of the case a 120 or 140

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:36.120
mm rad in the back and a 140 or 280 rad

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.479
in the bottom and the fan mounts to boot you've got basically whatever options

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:44.759
you may want which may be a little Overkill considering modern computer

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:49.440
components don't even really generate that much heat but you do you man a note

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

00:05:52.039 --> 00:05:59.160
it says on page 49 of the manual Frist remove the front panel wherever they

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:04.120
could they included more of that noise dampening foam Quality Construction from

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:09.199
a German computer hardware company insanely modular computer to the nth

00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:12.680
degree ability to house pretty much whatever you want especially on the

00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:17.319
cooling side of things and speed controls and lighting features to match

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

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

00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:29.280
think a power supply basement of some sort may have won over a few more Hearts

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.039
as seeing all of those cables just laying there feels a little like the old

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

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

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:47.479
video don't worry about it I don't really know why that happened it just

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:48.800
did me actually it looks beautiful once

00:06:47.479 --> 00:06:52.479
you're done it is just a little bit frustrating to build in anyways if

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

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:02.639
various other thing with a plethora of other internet people you can check not

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

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

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:15.720
check out this video up here which is something else from be quiet! which will

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.720
mean that it's probably an old

00:07:16.599 --> 00:07:21.879
video I'm going to just leave now
