1
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,960
So today we're going to be having a look at by oh I should say by popular demand

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,560
because whenever I do get multiple requests for a product unboxing I do say

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,000
that or I try to this is the bit Phoenix

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:24,880
Shinobi which is a more value oriented case from bit Phoenix they do have other

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,240
cases including their Colossus which is a very high-end case uh but this is more

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:34,079
meant to Target those mainstream Gam type folks so this one there's it's

7
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:37,960
available in two versions there's a window version and then there's a non-

8
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:41,480
window version we have the non- window version there's actually a diagram here

9
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:44,559
showing you what it looks like with the Windows side panel versus what it looks

10
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:48,239
like without a Windows side panel I should hope you all know what a non-

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,719
windowed side panel looks like at this point in time though we've got maximum

12
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:55,399
expansion okay that's what they have to say for themselves bit Phenix soft touch

13
00:00:54,039 --> 00:01:01,359
surface treatment which is actually pretty cool I have seen it in person before efficient cooling toolfree design

14
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:07,479
for the window version only that's interesting and okay let's let's open

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:11,320
this thing up and see what it has to

16
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:13,439
show for itself so this is a uh brand

17
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:19,799
new case here I got Breaking All the seals because that's what I do I break

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,920
seals like I don't Club seals I just

19
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:26,240
break them hahaa not not funny cuz I'm from

20
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:32,240
Canada I know okay let's dump this guy out and see

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,240
what we we can

22
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:41,720
see I wonder if I've actually made that joke before about seals I mean I've done

23
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:46,920
so many of these videos at this point that um it's hard to keep track of what

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:52,119
I've said and haven't said and what I can and cannot say so you know just kind

25
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:58,680
of just kind of roll with it and if I make the same joke twice well then

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,680
hopefully you guys will forgive me

27
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:07,680
and I don't have a uh subscriber Rebellion on my hands or

28
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,239
anything like that so there it is that is the Shinobi I'm going to go ahead I'm

29
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:16,640
going to do that 360° rotation thing again which is something that I never do

30
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:21,040
but this case is fortunately reasonably light and it doesn't have uh super

31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,840
grippy rubber feet on the bottom in fact let's find out what it does have on the

32
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,840
bottom cuz I'm curious now oh look at that so just metal punch outs on the

33
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,959
bottom so it might move around a little bit but

34
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,000
I mean honestly once you load this up with a system it should have some more

35
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,800
weight to it it's only light right now cuz it's a bare case so let's look at

36
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,280
external features first why don't we so the first thing we got here at the front

37
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,599
is three 5 and 1/4 in Bays nice little

38
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,480
brushed metal bit Phoenix logo there and

39
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:52,640
we've got some ventilation holes down both sides actually we've got

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:59,560
ventilation holes down both sides and all up the top and then finally we have

41
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,560
what looks like a dual 120 mil vent also

42
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,840
on the on the top we've got four USB 2.0

43
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:10,000
ports headphone and microphone ports as well as power and reset and this is that

44
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:15,360
soft touch feel finish that I was talking about before this is kind of a

45
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:22,200
what what can I how can I describe it it feels kind of like a a rubber that's not

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,159
sticky so like if if rubber had a bit of

47
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:30,519
a powder on it so that it it doesn't stick As you move your hand across it

48
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:37,560
okay on the side panels themselves we've just got your standard um powder coated

49
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,400
painted metal finish and this screw is

50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,439
difficult to remove I will need a screwdriver sorry about that guys got

51
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,239
that taken care of now so these are thumb screws here so they're probably

52
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:52,920
only tight because they're put in at the factory um if

53
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,480
you okay if you put them in by hand

54
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,920
every time then you'll be able to remove them by hand every time so we can call

55
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,280
that tooless although bit Phoenix doesn't even claim that the non-

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:07,360
windowed version which this clearly is because there's no window clearly well

57
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,519
that is to say that it would be clear if there was a window on the left side

58
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,519
panel so we've got the case opened up let's do

59
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:21,320
the back first why not here we've got our three 5 and 1/4 in Bays I can see

60
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:26,440
here that the tooless mechanisms are removed from the 3 and 1/2 in Bays of

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,479
which there are 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 wow

62
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:33,520
outstanding eight 3 and 1/2 in hard

63
00:04:29,479 --> 00:04:35,320
drive D cages um which are toolless on

64
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,720
the window version and not toolless on this one and then we can also see a CPU

65
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:44,320
cutout at the back of the motherboard tray that's for installing large bulky

66
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,440
CPU heat sinks without taking the motherboard out installing a back plate

67
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,639
putting the motherboard back in and then installing the heat sink you can just do

68
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,280
it through the back we've got some cable routing holes and we've also got

69
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,840
adequate space between the right side panel and these cable routing holes here

70
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:03,039
so you're going to be able to actually run a 24 Pin cable out to the side of

71
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,960
the motherboard and an eight Pin cable up to the top you probably have to Route

72
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,039
it through here without any clearance issues at the back so let's actually

73
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:17,720
here speaking of the back let's look at the back of the case where we have

74
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,039
a0 mm cooling fan we've got our IO Port

75
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,199
we've got eight expansion slots a couple of these water cooling holes although

76
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,800
these are very very small these are probably only going to accept uh thin

77
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,840
walled 3/8 tubing or thick walled 1/4 in tubing we've got our power supply

78
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,000
mounting here and that is a bottom mounted power supply with a couple of

79
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:39,039
things that are exceptional about it one of which is that it is filtered so

80
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:43,319
there's a filter right here which can be quite easily removed also we've got four

81
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,160
little rubber mounts here which will keep the power supply raised off the

82
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,160
bottom of your case a little bit to ensure that it is able to suck in some

83
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,440
fresh air without any difficulty no matter which way you mount it we've also

84
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,039
got a 120 mm fan intake here which isn't

85
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,919
going to be able to pull in a ton of air through that mesh that filter and then

86
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,080
finally the fact that the case isn't that far off the ground but it will

87
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:11,599
provide some additional intake air for your graphics card area although I would

88
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:16,319
say that's probably a very optional fan to install because right here at the

89
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,160
front of the case we've got two 120 mil

90
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:24,639
fan mounts as well so that's going to take care of most of the cooling needs

91
00:06:22,039 --> 00:06:31,560
for anything that is behind them I'm going to go ahead and see if I can uh

92
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,560
remove this without too much

93
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:41,240
difficulty okay that wasn't supposed to happen uh either way here you can see

94
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:45,440
the removable fan filters here at the front Okay you can see where you can oh

95
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,319
this is neat so you can actually install a three and

96
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:54,520
a oh that's an interesting way to do that it's not damaged at all hey we win

97
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:59,879
yep we're good uh so you can see here that we can use this as a 3 and 1/2 in

98
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:03,120
uh front drive bay installer if if we want to see that's got the soft touch

99
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:08,919
finish on it and then you can do two more 5 and a quar without any difficulty

100
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:12,840
whatsoever all right I'm just going to put that away for now anyway and we do

101
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,680
have clearance at the front for those 120 mm fans so those go on the inside

102
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:21,440
here next we've got our internal cables which are all black love to see this

103
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:25,280
even though the case isn't windowed it has a full black interior including

104
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:30,120
black cables black connectors on the ends of things and that is awesome so

105
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:36,039
we've just got our front panels for your power your reset all that good stuff two

106
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:39,240
front USB cables and a front audio

107
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:41,440
cable I think that pretty much wraps it

108
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:47,400
up at this point in time doesn't it I don't see any kind of a dedicated 2 and

109
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:51,120
1/2 in Drive Mount although correct me

110
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,440
if I am wrong about that oh one thing I

111
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,120
haven't mentioned though is uh the fan

112
00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:01,680
mounting options for the top so you can see that we can either do dual 120 mm

113
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:07,120
fans or or dual 140 mm fans in the top so this case in spite of the fact that

114
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,240
it looks very clean I mean remember once we put the front panel back on which

115
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,280
hopefully is easier to put on than it was to remove there we go uh

116
00:08:14,039 --> 00:08:21,319
once we put the front panel on it actually looks very clean and very sharp

117
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:26,319
but we can install one two 140 mm fans

118
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:28,599
we can do one two 3 four 120 mm fans in

119
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:32,519
this fairly modest little case so thank you for checking out my unboxing and
