1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,440
What's the first thing you think of when you see this picture? If it's not Tonka

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,440
or Lego, then you've probably seen the marketing for the Landboy Air already.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,839
This is Anttech's latest and greatest chassis. It is fully modularized, and

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,920
we're going to talk a lot in this unboxing about what exactly modularized

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,439
means, and it is really unlike anything

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,800
else we've seen on the market yet. So,

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,599
the Lanboy Air, the Landboy series has

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,000
been dead and buried, I thought, for the longest time. I actually owned an

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:40,559
original Landboy. And then there was the uh the Super, it came with the smart

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:45,280
blue 350 W power supply. And then there was the Super Loy that came with that

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:51,120
weird uh grill at the front. And since then, there's been not a whole lot. But

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,960
this is it. Ant has revived the Lanboy

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,199
product line with the Lanboy Air. So, there you

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,719
go. That yellow is not quite the same as it looked. It's not quite as tonka like

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:04,960
as it looked on the picture on the front, but uh Okay, here we go. So, the

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,080
first thing we find in here is a little instruction manual. And based on all the

17
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,040
things you can customize on this case, I'm going to go ahead and venture a

18
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,600
guess that you're probably going to need it. Lanboy Air grounding. Okay, they

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,280
show you how to ground the case. That's good. How to mount your 2 and 1/2 in

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:29,439
SSDs. Okay. So, there's a little manual on that. How to install USB 3.0. Okay.

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,680
Cuz it does have one USB 3.0 port at the front as well as a quick product

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,840
overview. So, here's a little product overview. Shows you a bunch of stuff

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,320
about it. Okay. And then a little survey that you can take to win PC accessories.

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:48,399
Thank you, Ant. All right. Now, I want to go through Let's take the case out of

25
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:54,399
the box. Uh, as is typical for Antech, the case is extremely well packaged.

26
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:57,520
Uses a good quality double wall box as

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,520
well as a high quality close cell foam

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,479
packing material. So, you can see that's not going to be a problem in terms of

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,640
shipping. And then I wanted to go through all the stuff it says here and

30
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:13,200
maybe I'll point at the case while I do it or

31
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,920
something. Honestly, I'm a little scattered cuz I can't wait to get this

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:23,599
out of the box. I've been looking forward to uh playing with one of these in person since I first heard about this

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,160
case, just because, like I said, it is

34
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:32,400
so completely different from anything we've seen on the case market uh

35
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:36,160
ever. There we go. Wow. It actually looks a lot better in person than it

36
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,319
does in photos. I can see why Antech really wants to do uh a lot of video

37
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,239
coverage of this a lot. They've actually got a pretty good video on their site

38
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,879
right now that shows off the Lan Boyer. So, first thing we see here, carrying

39
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:52,640
handles. Even with a fully loaded computer in there, there's no way these

40
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,560
are going to break off. And uh I'm really glad they didn't because that

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,599
would have made for a very uh anticlimactic test of the Landboy Air.

42
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:04,239
So, they fold down just like that. And then, let's have a look at the back

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,200
here. So, you can see you've got support for dual 120 mm fans right here at the

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,000
top of the case. And speaking of fans, the Landboy Air, although it comes

45
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,280
equipped with uh five 120 mil fans,

46
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,959
supports up to 15. And Anttech is really

47
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:25,120
encouraging users to use every fan as an

48
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:29,319
intake. And because the case is so

49
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,360
covered in mesh and airflow

50
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:36,239
nonrestrictive materials, you can see the whole other side of the case is

51
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,400
completely mesh. What that means is by using every fan as an intake, you can

52
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,319
create positive pressure inside the case, which means that air will

53
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,920
naturally blow out of anywhere that you

54
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,480
don't have an intake fan. So, what that means is you're able to keep dust out of

55
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:57,040
your case because everywhere where there isn't a fan drawing air in, there's air

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,959
just blowing out of all the little nooks and crannies of the case. So, it's very,

57
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,799
very difficult to get dust buildup in a case like that. So, there you go. That's

58
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,680
why Anttech encourages you to take advantage of the positive airflow design

59
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,439
of this particular chassis. Now, the finish on this is just phenomenal,

60
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,199
actually. Look at that. It's a very glossy black finish on the top of the

61
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,919
case. Looks like we're going to have support for up to uh a dual 120 mm

62
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,400
radiator here in the top. Although, don't quote me on that. I'm not 100%

63
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:31,600
sure. Now, in the front of the case, this looks like it should be something.

64
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,800
What is that? Okay. Well, why don't we

65
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,880
run through these marketing bullet points so that uh we can get a clearer

66
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,600
idea of what we're dealing with here. So, the modularity optical drives can be

67
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,960
mounted in three different orientations. You can actually mount an optical drive

68
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,680
facing out this side of the case or you

69
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,120
can mount it facing out the front or you can mount your optical drive facing out

70
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,639
the other side of the case. Same thing goes for your hard drives. The hard

71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,720
drives use a new system called air mounting. And I'm going to go ahead and

72
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,800
take this off. These panels are modular like many aspects of this case. So, the

73
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,440
hard drives use a new system called an air mount, which you can see is like a a

74
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,440
rubber elastic thing, and then you screw your hard drives in. And what that

75
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,120
allows you to do is reduce vibration. And it also allows you to mount it also

76
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,320
in any orientation. So, your hard drives can be mounted with the connectors

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,639
facing your motherboard, facing this way, or facing towards the other side of

78
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:28,800
the case. So, that's pretty cool, too. So, you can mount hard drives, optical

79
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:34,960
drives, whichever orientation you want. But wait, there's more. You can actually

80
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:37,280
move around the optical drives to be

81
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,840
down here, or you can move them here. And you can put hard drives in the top

82
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:43,759
if you feel like it. Yeah, you can actually customize where all that stuff

83
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:48,080
sits. Down here in the very bottom, you can see there are two spots for 2 and

84
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:53,039
1/2 in SSDs. So, you can do up to a RAID zero with two 2 and 1/2 in SSDs right

85
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:56,720
down there on the bottom of the case. Now, let's go ahead and This is going to

86
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:03,360
be kind of a long unboxing. I've got I've got that feeling that uh it's going

87
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:08,479
to take a lot to cover this particular chassis. Okay. Modular motherboard

88
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,560
mounts. Yeah. Okay. We'll get into those a little bit later. Okay. So, we've

89
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:15,360
taken off the side panel now. So, here we'll have a look at the construction of

90
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:19,919
the side panel. As I mentioned, there's a lot of mesh on here that's very

91
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:23,360
conducive to good air flow. It's got metal pieces here, but it's a mostly

92
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,360
plastic construction. So, what that means is with the metal mesh and the

93
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,520
metal bars, it actually retains a good degree of rigidity. Okay. So, then

94
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:35,919
you've got your little Anttech design sticker there, which is very, very nice.

95
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:40,319
And then, uh, yeah. Okay. Well, we took that off. Let's keep on going then,

96
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,840
shall we? Here is the back of the motherboard tray. So, the motherboard

97
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:49,680
tray is modular. Let's find out exactly what that means. You can ah, yes, you

98
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:53,600
can move the motherboard tray down. So, you see these screws here, here, here,

99
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,520
here, and here. You can move the motherboard tray down to the bottom, and

100
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,599
then you can actually move the power supply mount up to the top if you'd

101
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,639
prefer that. You don't have to use a bottom- mounted power supply. That's

102
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:10,400
what they mean by modular. And the motherboard tray, I should also mention,

103
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,639
does support up to eight PCI expansion

104
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:17,680
slots. So, that means you can mount a 4-way SLI motherboard in this chassis.

105
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:21,360
Once again, it wouldn't be customizable and modular if you can't mount whatever

106
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:25,280
you want in it. Am I right? Okay. Back of the case, we got a 120 mil fan. We

107
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:31,520
got water cooling grommets, the aforementioned 8 PCI slots, as well as

108
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,039
your PSU modular mount. All right, let's

109
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,280
keep turning it around. I'll use the convenient carry handles because

110
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:43,440
remember this is a Landboy series case. It is designed to be moved around to

111
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,280
land presumably or to your mom's house

112
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,599
if uh she has a faster internet connection than you and you want to

113
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:53,199
download something quickly. The point is you can move the

114
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:58,720
computer around. I don't want to hear about it.

115
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Okay, so I'm just undoing screws here. I really wish I'd remembered my

116
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:07,360
screwdriver, but I never do. That's how I roll. Cameraman's going to help me.

117
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,759
Thank you, cameraman, for contributing at the very last minute when there's

118
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:15,360
only one more screw to remove. Cameraman can't even do it

119
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:19,759
because he has Mac hands and they're not strong enough. Been using a Mac all

120
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,919
day. Oh, wow. That one is pretty tough.

121
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:29,840
Okay, well, give me a minute off camera then.

122
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:35,120
So, we've opened up the other side panel. You can see here there are two

123
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:38,399
120 mm antec twos two-speed fans mounted and the ones in the front are trioos.

124
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:43,680
The one in the back is a two-speed in case you were wondering. So that means you can switch them between high or low

125
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:47,760
air flow mode with this convenient low high switch. Oh, look at that. The

126
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:51,839
medium is actually uh there's still a spot for it, but it's like blanked out.

127
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:56,959
Okay, so that's not a triool. It is a two cool. Now you can mount up to

128
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,880
another two 120 mm fans with the pegs here and here and the holes here and

129
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,240
here. So Anttech includes presumably all the mounting screws you would need for

130
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:09,680
that. So that means you can throw up to four 120 mil fans on the side panel. You

131
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:14,000
can orient them like this and then you can put the side panel on. I hope now

132
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,040
that I've said it, I hope you can. No, you can't. Okay, so you orient it like

133
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:23,360
this and then you just put the fans wherever you want. Okay, let's keep it

134
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:29,279
rolling here. We'll keep looking at all the different aspects of the Lanboy Air.

135
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,120
So, here's our front panel connectors, which are secured with a little twist

136
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,240
tie. And let's go ahead and have a look at those. So, because this is not a very

137
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,760
conventional chassis, as I mentioned, Anttech has instructions on how to

138
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,760
ground out the case. So, you're going to want to attach that where Anttech tells

139
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:49,279
you. Please do that. You don't want static buildup on your case because that

140
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,680
is bad. Static in computers, bad. Not

141
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:55,839
grounding. Very, very bad. Okay. Here is USB 3.0. All right. So, you run that out

142
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:00,399
the back of the case. You plug it into the back of your USB 3.0. 0 compatible

143
00:09:57,839 --> 00:10:05,360
motherboard. You've got USB 2.0 right there. Reset power uh hard drive LED as

144
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:11,120
well as a power LED. Then you've got front panel audio. No FireWire. FireWire

145
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,079
is I mean, does anyone use FireWire anyway? I think I said that once and

146
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:19,079
then I had a bunch of comments on the video. Oh, I use FireWire. Yeah, I know

147
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:24,240
someone does, but it's still not very popular. So, here we go. Let's have a

148
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:27,279
look at what we've got in terms of uh random mounting accessories. So, it

149
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,279
looks like I'll have to take out the power supply mount for that. All right,

150
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:37,680
I pulled out the power supply mount, which as I mentioned before, you can move up to the top should you so desire.

151
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:42,320
And then I've also got the box here, which I was surprised to find contained

152
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:45,680
not motherboard mounting screws or anything else like that, but rather only

153
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,440
more air mounts. So, they've gone and they've thrown in one air mount for you,

154
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:54,680
just so you get the idea. But then there are enough air mounts here to mount up

155
00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:58,399
to an additional however many hard drives. I think it's eight, but I could

156
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:03,120
be wrong. Here, let's count them. One, two, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Well, 8, nine. I

157
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:07,680
guess you can mount as many as nine hard drives if you feel like it, but then

158
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:10,040
you'd have no optical drives. So, it's

159
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:16,320
completely up to you. It's modular. And then it took me a little

160
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:20,320
while here to figure out where are the mounting screws. Well, they're in a

161
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:26,560
little tool box here at the front. So, I'm going to go ahead and uh Oh, no,

162
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:31,680
wait. You have to unscrew it. Oh, okay. Well, I don't know how to get the

163
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:34,240
toolbox out now. But yeah. Okay. Here.

164
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:38,240
There's a tool box in the front of the case. And that little box is going to

165
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:42,880
hold all of your extra mounting hardware for whatever it is you could possibly

166
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:48,560
need to mount in the Lanboy Air. And you could never lose it because it'll always

167
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:51,200
be there. And I think that's getting

168
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:54,959
pretty close to everything there is to talk about here. Why don't you just get

169
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,279
some more internal shots of the case? Overall, the fit and finish of it is uh

170
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:03,680
much better than the mockup that I had seen before. It feels quite solid

171
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,360
despite the fact that it's almost like a framework construction here. Like you

172
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,920
can you can see there's holes in the case. like there's not a whole lot to

173
00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:16,880
it, but because they're using these solid metal square bars, it has a lot of

174
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:22,720
rigidity to it. And then they've got mostly things like metal mesh or uh uh

175
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:27,000
other like connecting materials that are just giving it overall a pretty good

176
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:31,279
pretty good strength to it. So, I think that's pretty much all there

177
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:35,720
is to say, but no, no, come have a look at the front. Come have a look at the front. We haven't looked at the front

178
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:40,800
enough here. Okay, so at the front we find a bunch

179
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:45,120
more interesting stuff. We find a great Anttech shiny logo there, which I think

180
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,680
looks terrific. And then we also find buttons. So there's our reset switch,

181
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:54,399
our power switch, USB 2.0, front audio, as well as USB 3.0. We just haven't had

182
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:59,839
enough of a look at the 5 and 1/4 in bays. It really is a unique design. Like

183
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,839
I almost wish Anttech had like a uh like

184
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:05,440
a stealth five and a quarter inch bay cover that looks like this because it's

185
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,959
really kind of cool looking. It stands out. Fits with the aesthetic of the

186
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,399
whole case. Like I said before, these can be moved around. So you see these

187
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:16,200
extra mounting holes here at the front. You can What the cameraman? Don't get

188
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,600
Don't get distracted. You can see these extra

189
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:25,839
mounting holes here at the front. So you can move these up, move these three down, move them around however you want.

190
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:31,920
And these at the front are stepless adjustable tririccool fans. So you can

191
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,160
change the RPM in infinite increments

192
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,920
however you desire. And then there's that uh yeah that screws in. So that's

193
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:42,800
that toolbox at the front. Let me just see if I missed any points. Yes, it

194
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:44,480
supports video cards up to 16 in without

195
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:49,600
uh hard drives installed across from them or up to 12 in without or with hard

196
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:56,560
drives installed there. You can air mount the hard drives three different ways. USB 3.0 know built-in handles,

197
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:58,800
infinite cooling up to 15 fans, plus a

198
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:03,680
top mount for water cooling. And I think we've pretty much covered it. Thank you

199
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:07,279
for having a look at the Anttech Lanboy

200
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:09,360
Air with us. And I hope you have enjoyed

201
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:14,000
it. Ah, cable management. Here on the back of the motherboard tray, you will

202
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:18,079
find little hoops for routing cables. You will also find adequate space

203
00:14:15,839 --> 00:14:23,920
between the side panel over here and the motherboard tray to mount even thick 24

204
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,760
pin cables. And now I'm done. Cameraman

205
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:32,240
wants me to do something else. He wants to see the bottom. Who looks at the

206
00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:32,240
bottom of a case? This Mac
