synergy 2 is available now and makes sharing a keyboard and mouse between two
0:04
systems so simple that anyone could do it check it out in the link of the
0:07
description down below we're going in wind checking out the 915 full tower
0:12
chassis as you can see there is a lot of curved aluminum this case uses all
0:17
aluminum minimum three millimeters thick normally here there's a tempered glass
0:21
side panel it would look like that there's another tempered glass side
0:24
panel on the back the curvature of the case as you can see there's a big nice
0:28
curve along the front of the case and on the back is to house this top mechanical
0:34
unit you can see when I press this button it goes down when I press the
0:38
button again it goes up as you may have expected also when you turn the computer
0:42
off about roughly 10 ish seconds later
0:45
it will automatically go down that is to prevent dust from just floating into the
0:50
computer it could have maybe solved this with a just a dust cover or something
0:55
like that but that's not as cool as a mechanized top that has like glass on it
0:59
so you can properly see all your fans it looks great now you might be wondering
1:03
do to this curved front and this curved back how do you get to your radiator and
1:09
stuff or how do you plug things in will you get to your radiator by opening up
1:13
this back with two captive thumb screws once you unscrew them they stay there
1:16
these are fully unscrewed right now you open it up this is how you would plug
1:20
things like cables or flash drives in you'd run it through the grating in the
1:23
back if it's a cable or you just leave it where it is if it's a flash drive
1:27
then there's two captive screws again on
1:30
the bottom of this large unit where you can see the motor for making the thing
1:34
go up and down you undo those slide the whole thing back and up and it releases
1:39
just the mechanism for the panel not the fan or the radiator then you would
1:44
access the fan or the radiator by releasing a screw that's right up near
1:48
the front of the case lifting that entire unit out then you can change
1:51
things put on a radiator put on fans - all that kind of stuff outside of the
1:55
case mount that inside put this mechanism back swing this thing back in
1:59
do the thumb screws and it's all closed
2:02
up moving on to the inside of the main system compartment of the case you can
2:06
see there's quite a few fans there's two fans right here there's three more fans
2:10
in the front and there's one fan in the back the breathability of this case
2:14
however is slightly questionable there's some funky stuff
2:18
going on there is that large really good-looking aluminum curved panel in
2:23
the front but it's solid I can't breathe through that there's nowhere for it to
2:27
breathe at the top there's nowhere for it to breathe at the side where the front breathes it's actually through the
2:32
bottom you can see that the dusts filter at the bottom actually extends all the
2:36
way to the front of the case capturing where these few fans are so they have a
2:41
little bit of place to breathe from but there's three of them so they're not
2:45
going to be pushing a huge amount of air through that tiny little area but I
2:48
guess you could open the door if you wanted and then they have a massive amount of place to breathe from but no
2:52
filter so it's up to you these bottom two that are just above like the power
2:57
supply shroud which is included and goes fully across the case would breathe
3:01
through the bottom and the bottom is filtered as well now when the backside
3:06
of the case we have another tempered glass panel but this one is a little bit different as you can see there's a whole
3:10
whack ton of in win logos on this this
3:13
was done with the intention of hiding the cables because there's no panels or
3:18
covers or anything to hide your cable mess but it's not very effective at this
3:23
point in time it doesn't actually really hide them at all there is apparently
3:26
plans in place to change how the logos
3:29
are laid out to try to help hide your cables because with tempered glass on
3:33
the back panel you really need to do something about that but as this case
3:37
isn't releasing until about the end of q2 we aren't able to see that at this
3:41
time what is also revealed back here is the fact that you can mount up to 12 2
3:46
and a half inch drives or eight two and
3:49
a half inch drives and four three and a half inch drives the three and half inch
3:52
drives or two and a half inch drives four of them would mount down here in
3:56
the bottom with these easy to release hard drive cages and the rest of the two
4:00
and a half inch go in a whole bunch of different areas in terms of front i/o
4:04
you've got your power button a reset button 2 USB 3 type-a ports a type C
4:09
port a headphone a microphone jack and the up and down vent switch that we
4:13
mentioned before this case is not going to be cheap it's going to be north of or
4:19
equal to four hundred and fifty US dollars but this is in their more
4:22
premium line of cases so that is two be expected if your wallet can take a
4:27
pretty sizable hit it could be an interesting case to get other than that
4:30
its energy too is out they've simplified a whole bunch of stuff with the new
4:34
release there's no longer the server client settings that you have to set up
4:37
just all your systems will work together it's also able to communicate over more
4:41
complicated networks that's energy to you sooner if you one used to have
4:44
problems with back in the past so you have to worry about that stuff anymore
4:48
there's a new UI there's SSL encrypted connections it's it's much more simple
4:53
even able to access your computers before you've logged into them if you
4:56
have all this stuff shared over which is nice so you can move the stuff over
5:00
login from there everything's nice and good to go if you want to check it out
5:04
check it out in the link in the description all right thanks for watching this video like it if you liked
5:07
it dislike if you disliked it get subscribed to see probably not CES content it's probably
5:13
gonna be near the end so get subscribed to see maybe like one or two more videos
5:17
from CES and then the rest of just you know our normal videos if you're tired
5:21
of CES content be sure to stay subscribed because it's almost done I'll
