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

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.040
for great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.400
western digital hey guys we're here at the fantex booth checking out a few

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:18.400
cases one of which Linus should have reviewed by now but hasn't that's the

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:23.199
enthu primo and he will be getting to that hopefully shortly after ces but for

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

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

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.320
2.0 mic and headphone in a reset button

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

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:41.760
on the top which is not behind the hidden door within the hidden doors that

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.480
light changing buttons so as you can see there's led bars around the case which

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:49.360
are not going to shine directly in your eyes if this is almost anywhere because they

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

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.680
because the rest of the case is all black and black matches quite literally

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

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.680
your build moving to the top of the case you can fit up to 420 millimeter

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:07.119
radiators with this nicely removable fan filter which is actually quite solid

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

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.080
seems quite solid moving into the case we have our reservoir quite nicely

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:19.680
displayed here more closer to the front of the case mounted quite nicely on that

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

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.799
graphics card so they have a spot right here which would work very well for you

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

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

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

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.520
different pumps there and that's really easily accessible in a nice because it

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:46.079
has a rubber mounting for the pump where you're mounting the pump and it has

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

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.640
nice vibration dampening they also have a radiator here in the front which you

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

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

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

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.160
back of the motherboard tray you have a pwm splitter at the back which comes

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

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.520
get additional if i think you just have to buy them as accessories and then you

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.040
could split out to different areas and have different temperature zones so say

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.680
this top radiator you only want the fans going at certain speeds depending on

00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:24.560
what temperature it is you can set that area different than the radiator that

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:28.640
you have down here whatever you want to do if you get different modules for that

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:32.560
they also have SSD mounting spots so if you do like their configuration here where you

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

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.360
motherboard or down here as well they also have an adapter plate to hide the

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:42.319
power supply in the basement in their current configuration it wouldn't work

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

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.560
you felt like being crafty and going along with this configuration you could

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

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

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.239
full featured coverage of the anthu primo is coming so we'll just be kind of

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.760
going over the newer options that they have here first of all they have a

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.959
standard white one now and then for special editions they also have orange

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.200
and white and red the orange and red will all of them to be completely honest

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.400
have a sandblasted aluminum style not a brushed aluminum which i like quite a

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:19.840
bit because your fingerprint burn-in is not nearly as bad there's been cases in

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:23.360
the past where i've built them wearing those like weird white gloves just

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:27.440
because i have fingerprint burning problems like mad so i'll leave like a

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:31.440
crime scene across the case which is terrible so this is a much better style

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

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:38.799
the lux and it is very aggressively priced when you come to the inside it no

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.840
longer has the basement it no longer has the reservoir plate on the kind of front

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:48.480
inside area it no longer has the pw pwm splitter on the back of the motherboard

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.959
tray and it no longer has one of one of

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

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

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

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:06.959
that has an initial lower investment it's definitely not a bad idea on the

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:10.159
outside in comparison to the lux you you lose a few things as well the most

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:13.760
notable and what you'll obviously see first is that the lighting features are

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

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.440
lighting button and then at the top you lose that extra shroud that you had so

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.040
you could fit fans there and the super super easily removable fan filter but

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

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.440
rag online as to get that review out faster as always thank you for watching
