00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
All right, guys. Welcome to the Fantex suite where we're checking out the Enthu

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.720
Evolve ATX in anthraite gray. Anthroyes

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:11.280
apparently some coal thing. Anyways, thanks to MSI for bringing us here this

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.720
year. If you want to see all the stuff they're releasing at Computex, check their Bitly link in the description down

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.400
below. Also, thank you to linda.com. Starting at the front of the case, you

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.640
have an extremely industrialized look. And behind this little panel, which on

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.279
the release unit will actually stick up there. It's just this is a

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:31.359
pre-production model, so it is a little bit floppy. You have dual USB 3.0 0

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.160
microphone, headphone, and a reset button, which is ringed in an LED that

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.559
shows hard drive activity. And down in the lower part of the panel, you have a

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:44.640
just solid white LED. The power button is actually up on the top, which is

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.760
removable, but is screwed in by standard. It It doesn't just pop off

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.480
like again some of their previous models. But if you want to get into the

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:57.760
top in a different way, if you just open the side panel, you can then remove two

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.359
screws on the main compartment side panel and three screws on the back. And

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:06.880
then you can actually just slide out where you would mount those fans and radiator. If you noticed, the door isn't

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:09.920
actually screwed on. So, it just has some kind of pressure clamps near the

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.439
front which hold it in which you pop out or pop in, respectively. And then the

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.119
hinges on the back can either be unscrewed or you can just lift the door

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.400
up off the hinges if you do want to remove it out of the way. Although I

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:24.560
expect most of you guys will just open the door because that's quite easy. For

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:28.799
the radiator in the front, you can have fans on the on the more forward side of

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.200
the grill and that they will stay out of the way. You can actually raise or lower those depending on what compartment you

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:36.880
want to cool, but I'll get to that in a moment. If you want a bigger radiator,

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.400
you can take this plate out. Now, this plate you can normally install a pump.

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.280
They have they have cutouts for installing a pump there. But if you want a taller radiator, you can install the

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.399
radiator there. Take the plate out and then install the pump down in the lower

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.960
compartment, which is probably what I'd want to do anyways. Uh the as you can

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.280
see, there's a bunch of Fantex plates just to the kind of left of where those

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:01.280
fans are. And that is where you would actually install additional hard drives.

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.759
There's two standard hard drive mounts for 3 and 1/2 in drives in the bottom,

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.800
but you can install up to three more because of the sleds that you have by

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.879
default or up to 1 2 3 4 five more if

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.520
you want to buy additional sleds. Now, back to that basement cover. You have an

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.959
SSD drive kind of holding spot if you want to show it off through the window

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.720
on the front right hand side. And there's a cable management hole done for

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.360
that. And you also have two more 2 and 1/2 in drives uh locations behind the

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.480
motherboard. Now, you might have noticed there wasn't a sled for the one that's

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:36.400
in the front of the case. That's because they give you two sleds by default. So,

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:39.599
you can decide to have two in the back behind the motherboard or one behind the

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.879
motherboard and one in the front or however you want. But to be honest, uh I

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.400
usually just install SSDs with tape or nothing. Anyways, so you can pretty much

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.920
install as many SSDs as you want in this case. And the another thing about the

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.440
basement is that there's a cutout for the power supply. A lot of basements end

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.599
up completely covering the power supply, which is nice because you hide the cables, but not nice because you don't

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.400
get to see the cool branding of your badass power supply. So now you'll

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:08.080
actually be able to see through the window and see what power supply you own. Right next to those hard drive

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:12.159
mounts, there's also a place to mount a reservoir. And there's another reservoir

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.920
mounting space just beside where you would mount any additional add-in cards

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.000
that you might have. Above that reservoir mounting spot, there's another

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.200
140 mm fan by default, which again you can slide up and down. So, if you if you

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:26.879
need to be a little bit higher because you have an air cooler for your CPU and

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:31.040
you want it to all be in line, then that's cool. If you want to be lower because you want to install a big

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.200
freaking rad up there and it goes that far back for whatever reason, then

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.200
that's also cool. No problem. big massive CPU cutout and a bunch of

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.519
grommets on the right hand side of the motherboard and above the motherboard

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:46.720
with two cutouts without grommets above the motherboard and three cutouts

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.319
without grommets just below the motherboard for your like headers or

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:53.440
whatever else you might have installed there. Before we go behind the

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:56.319
motherboard tray, I would also like to point out the bottom of the case, which

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.760
also has a filter in it. There's a filter in the front of the case, the bottom of the case, and the top of the

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:06.799
case. Again, the top of the case, it's mostly just a solid uh plain metal panel

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.760
with some a little bit of breathing stuff on the angled sides, but that's

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:14.720
also where your power button is. Now, behind the motherboard tray, most of

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.239
this was covered before, but there are still a few things. There's little feet

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:21.519
for the power supply that can keep it up and keep any vibration noise away from

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:24.240
it, which is actually quite cool. There's the pump mounting spot, which I

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.120
referenced earlier. There's the hard drive cages, which I referenced earlier.

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.120
There's the kind of like velcroy strap things which are actually really nice

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:39.199
and commonly found on Fantex cases. And there is a six fan PWM hub. Much like

00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:46.240
the front, the top spacing for fans can fit either 3x 120 mm or 2x 140 mm. And I

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.080
really like how far away from the motherboard tray they've actually placed

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.919
this cooling. You can see in the tray as I pull it out that there's a bunch of

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.160
spacing there. That's so you can fit a giant freaking radiator and still have

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:01.360
clearance over top of your motherboard. You might have troubles if you install

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:04.560
like massive dominator memory or whatever the heck. But if you install

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.360
some fairly standard height memory, you'd be able to fit something ridiculous like one of those alphacool

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:12.320
monster rads. All right, guys. Let me know in the comments down below. Is this

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:17.759
the case for you? Is this a case you've been looking for or not quite yet? Or on

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.039
