thank you to MSI for sending us here this year we would not be here without
0:03
them also thank you to linda.com Welcome to the Silverstone Booth where we'll be
0:07
checking out the X Forma mbx MK2 limited
0:10
edition case a new 700 w f sfx-l power
0:15
supply and a new rv1 case now the X Forma case previously known as the
0:19
murder box Mark I is finally finished
0:23
this is what it will look like and it is actually coming soon I know this has
0:26
been like 5 years in the making there was a pre-order back in I believe 2013
0:31
and everyone saw the million-dollar PC post back in I believe 2013 as well but
0:35
it's actually coming now this is the first production unit this has the
0:39
serial number on the back 001 this is the real dealing 250 units only at least
0:44
in the first run and it will cost
0:48
$1,250 not cheap but super badass and
0:52
that's just the base model it comes with a lot of add-ons as you guys can see
0:55
there's the light plate in the middle that's an add-on and it's not cheap you
0:59
can see the cool band design at the top that's an add-on and it's not cheap if
1:03
you're investing in this case it will be a lot of money but it will look super
1:07
badass I'm sure you guys have actually seen the old kind of murderbox style
1:11
golden build that Charles had a long time ago this one here orange and black
1:15
I like the style look a lot like our colors looks super sick next up is that
1:19
700 W sfx-l power supply now don't
1:23
confuse it with the 600 W power supply we've reviewed in the sfx form factor
1:28
this one has a little bit lower power density at 531 watts per liter compared
1:33
to the 600 watt which was 756 watts per
1:36
liter I know it's a little bit weird of a way to define things but I think it
1:40
shows on just how much power they fit inside a tiny box so I don't actually
1:44
mind that metric now if you're wondering what the heck is up with sfx-l
1:47
Silverstone is going to be trying to get the whole industry to kind of come
1:51
together and start calling power supplies that are a little bit longer but still sfx form factor sfx-l but
1:57
we'll see how successful they are with that compared to the 80 plus gold rating
2:00
on their 600 W sfx power supply this one has an 80 plus Platinum rating and this
2:06
is the first one to have two different plug harnesses for PCIe power on the 600
2:10
wat you could plug in a graphics car that had an 8 Pin and six pin plug this
2:14
time you could plug in two Graphics cars that are like that or maybe a graphics
2:17
card that requires three plugs next up is the rv1 maybe not as exciting as the
2:23
X Forma case or the crazy high power density power supply that we saw
2:26
previously but still relatively interesting entry level case just to
2:30
rile off some specs as it isn't crazy different from previous Raven Edition
2:33
cases you've got four Drive slots Each of which can hold either a 3 and 1/2 in
2:38
drive or a 2 and 1/2 in drive two of which are in kind of a bay and two of
2:42
which are against one of the case uh reinforcing structure walls right in the
2:47
front you can fit standard ATX motherboards or even some that are a
2:51
little bit wider like some of those Rog boards it comes with three 120 mm fans
2:56
in the bottom but only supports a 240 mm range radiator so if you do buy a
3:01
radiator that comes with two fans you can install that in the bottom and then
3:04
take the two fans that were there and install that one of those in the back of
3:08
the case one of those in the top of the case where there are available slots and
3:11
then leave that last remaining fan there the reason why you can't install a 360
3:14
rad there is just some minor clearance issues it can fit 300 mm graphics cards
3:19
it can fit a full siize power supply it has a triple fan filter on the bottom
3:23
and a cool looking red LED in the front with an aggressive look on the front of
3:27
the computer and the top of the computer I'm not going to spend too much time on
3:30
the rv1 as the juice from this video was
3:33
really the X Forma case and the 700 W little tiny power supply let me know in
3:38
the description down below what you guys think about the Mark I finally coming
3:42
out I'm excited to see hopefully every single one of those 250 cases getting
3:46
build logs and line of tips for them because damn it's beautiful and I just
3:50
really want to see it thanks to MSI for bringing us here this year huge help
