0:10
this is my favorite case of the show so far it has such beautiful steel that i
0:14
thought it was aluminum for like a while then there's tempered glass on the front
0:18
and on the side this front is a really cool custom reservoir by der bauer who
0:23
worked in collaboration on this case but the one that you get if you buy it will
0:28
show up as a clean tempered glass clear front panel
0:32
okay but why is it that special well the price if you get it with no fans is
0:37
129.99 and if you get it with three RGB
0:40
fans with aluminum frames it's 159.99
0:44
all the panels on this case are toolless although to remove them you'll have to
0:47
remove the top one first it has two captive thumb screws on the back then
0:51
you can just slide it back and lift it right off for now we're going to remove
0:56
the back panel this guy has two big
0:59
meshed filtered breathing holes this one on the left here is for the radiator
1:03
that could be attached to the three fans that are in the front and this one on
1:06
the right hand side is for your power supply and your hard drives but the
1:12
power supply and hard drive positions can switch around and be changed so you
1:15
could have two power supplies in here if you wished and you took away this hard
1:19
drive mounting location or like i'll expect most people will have it
1:22
configured is like it is now or with these positions swapped now this hard
1:26
drive bay you can access them through the back through this little panel
1:30
that's back here it's just one more thumb screw which can be toollessly
1:33
removed and then you can actually slide out the trays through the back so
1:37
everything is nicely accessible while we're back here i'd like to draw
1:41
attention to this large plate in the middle you can mount one three and a
1:44
half inch drive up here or one two and a half inch drive and a little bit lower
1:48
down you can mount also another two and a half inch drive those drives would go
1:52
on the inside so you can actually close the case but you can remove the plate with the
1:56
two screws up here or one screw down here in order to mount those drives
2:00
before you put it inside and it doubles as a way to hide your potential cable
2:05
mess if you decide to be a little bit lazy in terms of front i o you have a
2:08
power button two usb 3 type a ports a headphone and microphone jack and usb
2:13
type c port and that is all mounted onto a brushed aluminum plate which is great
2:18
because all the areas that you're really going to be focusing on when you look at this case the front and the inside are
2:23
covered by tempered glass and aluminum i mentioned earlier how you could buy the
2:27
011 dynamic with three RGB fans included
2:30
that brings us to their update of their bora line of fans we're going to start
2:34
with the bora plus 120. a three kit of
2:37
these with their addressable RGB version which you can control through their
2:41
custom software with a whole bunch of different lighting modes including CPU
2:45
usage levels CPU temperature levels drive temperatures and a ton of other
2:49
stuff is 99 for the three fan kit and
2:53
the controller now if you step down from there get the same three awesome fans
2:57
but it's you it's managed by an external physical controller that's 69.99 for the
3:03
three fans and the controller and then if you step down from there again we're
3:06
not going to low end fans we're just going to a step down from the borah plus
3:11
you get what i'm going to call and they've been kind of saying around here
3:14
the borah light but that is not the official name for it and that's this guy
3:18
i actually personally to possibly their dismay think that it might look better
3:22
because the rgbs on the inside the leds
3:25
i should say on the inside are actually hidden by the middle
3:28
sticker and it looks like the fan is just glowing from nothing which i think
3:32
is really cool that is managed by your motherboard through just a simple pwm
3:37
connector and is 39 for three of them
3:40
the o11 dynamic and the new bora fans
3:43
are both cheaper than i expected much more affordable than i expected i
3:46
thought this case was going to be closer to 200 250
3:50
