Linus tech tips coverage of ces 2014 is brought to you by ncix.com your source

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,040
for great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,400
western digital hey guys we're here at the fantex booth checking out a few

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:18,400
cases one of which Linus should have reviewed by now but hasn't that's the

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:23,199
enthu primo and he will be getting to that hopefully shortly after ces but for

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,880
now we have the lux and the pro and a few extra options for the primo that

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,880
should be coming soon on the front panel of the lux we have two usb 3.0 two usb

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,320
2.0 mic and headphone in a reset button

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,920
a light changing button which i'll show you in one second and a power button up

10
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:41,760
on the top which is not behind the hidden door within the hidden doors that

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,480
light changing buttons so as you can see there's led bars around the case which

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,360
are not going to shine directly in your eyes if this is almost anywhere because they

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,320
shine down onto the case which is nice because it won't annoy you way too much

14
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:55,680
because the rest of the case is all black and black matches quite literally

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,000
everything so as long as you go with black and then change to whatever color you want it's going to match the rest of

16
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:03,680
your build moving to the top of the case you can fit up to 420 millimeter

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,119
radiators with this nicely removable fan filter which is actually quite solid

18
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:11,920
sometimes with fan filters i'm worried that they're going to warp if i take them off too many times but this one

19
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,080
seems quite solid moving into the case we have our reservoir quite nicely

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,680
displayed here more closer to the front of the case mounted quite nicely on that

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,960
bracket but you could also put it in the back just in case you have a really long

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,799
graphics card so they have a spot right here which would work very well for you

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,479
with a just nut and bolt to be able to bolt on a radiator right there moving to

24
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,680
the back just so we can see it easier but you can access this from the front too right in the middle of the front

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,360
here they have a nice plate for some pumps so it's you can mount quite a few

26
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:43,520
different pumps there and that's really easily accessible in a nice because it

27
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:46,079
has a rubber mounting for the pump where you're mounting the pump and it has

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,840
rubber mounting on the bottom of the feet of the mount for the pump so it's

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,640
nice vibration dampening they also have a radiator here in the front which you

30
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:55,680
can mount there or lay it down at the bottom and if you mount it here you

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,840
can't have any hard drive cages but if you mount at the bottom you could have a hard drive cage

32
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,799
hanging from right here so you have a ton of different options just in that small little area then moving to the

33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,160
back of the motherboard tray you have a pwm splitter at the back which comes

34
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:12,400
with it it's quite nice it supports up to 11 fans which is solid and you can

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,520
get additional if i think you just have to buy them as accessories and then you

36
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,040
could split out to different areas and have different temperature zones so say

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,680
this top radiator you only want the fans going at certain speeds depending on

38
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:24,560
what temperature it is you can set that area different than the radiator that

39
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,640
you have down here whatever you want to do if you get different modules for that

40
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,560
they also have SSD mounting spots so if you do like their configuration here where you

41
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,239
don't have the hard drive cages you can mount ssds just right on the back of the

42
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,360
motherboard or down here as well they also have an adapter plate to hide the

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,319
power supply in the basement in their current configuration it wouldn't work

44
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,599
because you'd hit some of the tubing and some of the fittings and stuff but if

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,560
you felt like being crafty and going along with this configuration you could

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,840
cut this guy a little bit and then make it fit and it works really well with the

47
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,400
case because it looks exactly the same and there is rubber grommets built into the side which is really fancy Linus's

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,239
full featured coverage of the anthu primo is coming so we'll just be kind of

49
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,760
going over the newer options that they have here first of all they have a

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,959
standard white one now and then for special editions they also have orange

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,200
and white and red the orange and red will all of them to be completely honest

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,400
have a sandblasted aluminum style not a brushed aluminum which i like quite a

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,840
bit because your fingerprint burn-in is not nearly as bad there's been cases in

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,360
the past where i've built them wearing those like weird white gloves just

55
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,440
because i have fingerprint burning problems like mad so i'll leave like a

56
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:31,440
crime scene across the case which is terrible so this is a much better style

57
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,879
in my opinion and finally we have the pro this is a cost of down version of

58
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,799
the lux and it is very aggressively priced when you come to the inside it no

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,840
longer has the basement it no longer has the reservoir plate on the kind of front

60
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:48,480
inside area it no longer has the pw pwm splitter on the back of the motherboard

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,959
tray and it no longer has one of one of

62
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,080
the 140 millimeter fans that come stock on the lux but like i said it is costed

63
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:00,159
down and all of these things can be added later you could buy the accessory for the basement and the reservoir plate

64
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,360
and you could buy another fan to go put in there so if if you need something

65
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,959
that has an initial lower investment it's definitely not a bad idea on the

66
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:10,159
outside in comparison to the lux you you lose a few things as well the most

67
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,760
notable and what you'll obviously see first is that the lighting features are

68
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,440
not there so on the i o plate everything is the same as well except for the

69
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,440
lighting button and then at the top you lose that extra shroud that you had so

70
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,040
you could fit fans there and the super super easily removable fan filter but

71
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,759
you can still remove this fan filter to clean it elsewhere thank you for watching our fantex content be sure to

72
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,440
rag online as to get that review out faster as always thank you for watching

73
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,840
and please subscribe to Linus tech tips and thank you to our sponsors ncix wd

74
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,360
