WEBVTT

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

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:18.560
because whenever I do get multiple requests for a product unboxing I do say

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.000
that or I try to this is the bit Phoenix

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:24.880
Shinobi which is a more value oriented case from bit Phoenix they do have other

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:30.240
cases including their Colossus which is a very high-end case uh but this is more

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:34.079
meant to Target those mainstream Gam type folks so this one there's it's

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.960
available in two versions there's a window version and then there's a non-

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:41.480
window version we have the non- window version there's actually a diagram here

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.559
showing you what it looks like with the Windows side panel versus what it looks

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:48.239
like without a Windows side panel I should hope you all know what a non-

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:51.719
windowed side panel looks like at this point in time though we've got maximum

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:55.399
expansion okay that's what they have to say for themselves bit Phenix soft touch

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

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:07.479
for the window version only that's interesting and okay let's let's open

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:11.320
this thing up and see what it has to

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:13.439
show for itself so this is a uh brand

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

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.920
seals like I don't Club seals I just

00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.240
break them hahaa not not funny cuz I'm from

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:32.240
Canada I know okay let's dump this guy out and see

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:32.240
what we we can

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

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

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

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

00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:58.680
hopefully you guys will forgive me

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:07.680
and I don't have a uh subscriber Rebellion on my hands or

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

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:16.640
going to do that 360° rotation thing again which is something that I never do

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:21.040
but this case is fortunately reasonably light and it doesn't have uh super

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

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

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.959
bottom so it might move around a little bit but

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:35.000
I mean honestly once you load this up with a system it should have some more

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

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

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.599
is three 5 and 1/4 in Bays nice little

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.480
brushed metal bit Phoenix logo there and

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.640
we've got some ventilation holes down both sides actually we've got

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:59.560
ventilation holes down both sides and all up the top and then finally we have

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:02.560
what looks like a dual 120 mil vent also

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.840
on the on the top we've got four USB 2.0

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:10.000
ports headphone and microphone ports as well as power and reset and this is that

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:15.360
soft touch feel finish that I was talking about before this is kind of a

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

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:25.159
sticky so like if if rubber had a bit of

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

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:37.560
okay on the side panels themselves we've just got your standard um powder coated

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.400
painted metal finish and this screw is

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:43.439
difficult to remove I will need a screwdriver sorry about that guys got

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:47.239
that taken care of now so these are thumb screws here so they're probably

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:52.920
only tight because they're put in at the factory um if

00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:54.480
you okay if you put them in by hand

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

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:02.280
that tooless although bit Phoenix doesn't even claim that the non-

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:07.360
windowed version which this clearly is because there's no window clearly well

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

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.519
panel so we've got the case opened up let's do

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

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:26.440
here that the tooless mechanisms are removed from the 3 and 1/2 in Bays of

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.479
which there are 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 wow

00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:33.520
outstanding eight 3 and 1/2 in hard

00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:35.320
drive D cages um which are toolless on

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

00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:44.320
cutout at the back of the motherboard tray that's for installing large bulky

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:47.440
CPU heat sinks without taking the motherboard out installing a back plate

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.639
putting the motherboard back in and then installing the heat sink you can just do

00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:55.280
it through the back we've got some cable routing holes and we've also got

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:58.840
adequate space between the right side panel and these cable routing holes here

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

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:06.960
the motherboard and an eight Pin cable up to the top you probably have to Route

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.039
it through here without any clearance issues at the back so let's actually

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

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:20.039
a0 mm cooling fan we've got our IO Port

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.199
we've got eight expansion slots a couple of these water cooling holes although

00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:27.800
these are very very small these are probably only going to accept uh thin

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

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.000
mounting here and that is a bottom mounted power supply with a couple of

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:39.039
things that are exceptional about it one of which is that it is filtered so

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

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:47.160
little rubber mounts here which will keep the power supply raised off the

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

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:56.440
fresh air without any difficulty no matter which way you mount it we've also

00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:58.039
got a 120 mm fan intake here which isn't

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

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:07.080
finally the fact that the case isn't that far off the ground but it will

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:11.599
provide some additional intake air for your graphics card area although I would

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:16.319
say that's probably a very optional fan to install because right here at the

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.160
front of the case we've got two 120 mil

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

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

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:31.560
remove this without too much

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:41.240
difficulty okay that wasn't supposed to happen uh either way here you can see

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:45.440
the removable fan filters here at the front Okay you can see where you can oh

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:49.319
this is neat so you can actually install a three and

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:17.680
have clearance at the front for those 120 mm fans so those go on the inside

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.440
here next we've got our internal cables which are all black love to see this

00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:25.280
even though the case isn't windowed it has a full black interior including

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:30.120
black cables black connectors on the ends of things and that is awesome so

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

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:39.240
front USB cables and a front audio

00:07:36.039 --> 00:07:41.440
cable I think that pretty much wraps it

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

00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:51.120
1/2 in Drive Mount although correct me

00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:54.440
if I am wrong about that oh one thing I

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.120
haven't mentioned though is uh the fan

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

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

00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:11.240
it looks very clean I mean remember once we put the front panel back on which

00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:15.280
hopefully is easier to put on than it was to remove there we go uh

00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:21.319
once we put the front panel on it actually looks very clean and very sharp

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:26.319
but we can install one two 140 mm fans

00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:28.599
we can do one two 3 four 120 mm fans in

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:32.519
this fairly modest little case so thank you for checking out my unboxing and

00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.399
