thank you to Razer for sending us to Pax West 2016 this year check out their Link
0:04
in the video description down below to see the Razer Blade stealth welcome to
0:07
the EVGA Booth where we're checking out the dg-87 this case tries to mix things
0:11
up a bit instead of the front being right here where we're used to it being
0:15
the front is here which is normally referred to as the left hand side so
0:19
remember throughout this video when I'm referring to the front that's right here
0:23
now for iio on the front we have two USB
0:26
3.0 ports headphone and microphone jacks and HDMI pass through which you can plug
0:31
into your graphics card a USB type-c 3.1
0:35
connector a reset button a k boost Precision OC button which will overclock
0:40
your graphics card and CPU using precision and a power button which is
0:45
actually noted by the EVGA logo also on
0:49
the front of the case there's a little display for your fan controller which
0:52
has a mode button the mode button will change between temperature intake fans
0:56
and exhaust fans and then depending on what mode you're in the the
1:00
functionality of the arrow keys will change so if you're in exhaust or intake
1:04
fan mode you can change the power going to the fans from 5% all the way up to
1:08
100% now the windowed side panel can be removed by pressing in on this lever and
1:13
then if you want to fully take it off cuz you want to work on the build and just don't want to worry about it for a
1:17
little while you can press this lever in and then pull the rail down although I'm
1:21
not going to do it right now because it would fall out and I don't have two hands to catch it the left hand side of
1:26
the computer is where you can access your motherboard IO so you do that by pressing down the opposite lever for
1:30
opening the door and then what is revealed here as well is two individual
1:35
120 or 140 mm fan slots you cannot
1:39
without some type of modding remove this panel and join them together and even if
1:43
you did the spacing would be incorrect for a dual Rad but you could install a
1:47
120 or 140 mm radiator here for your CPU
1:52
removing the grill on the right hand side of the computer can be done by pressing in until you hear an audible
1:56
click letting go and then pulling the fan filter away which can also be
2:00
removed just by sliding it down now this is compatible with up to 4X 120 mm fan
2:05
radiator or a 3x1 40 mm fan radiator the
2:09
back of the case reveals the cable routing for your motherboard and
2:12
expansion card slots and then if you pull up on this lever you can reveal the
2:16
back of the motherboard tray where we can see a large cutout for mounting CPU
2:21
coolers four different SSD trays which
2:24
can hold one SSD each and then two bays
2:27
of 3x 3 and 1 half inch Drive trays and then two individual spots for 3 and 1
2:32
half in drives as well now the cable management that is currently displayed
2:35
back here is really not that great but I'd take that with a grain of salt there
2:39
are quite a few different places where you can manage your cables including
2:58
pre-institutional ities through the front of the case which should make your
3:02
cables nice and pretty they're really soft so shouldn't look too weird when
3:05
you run cables through them a couple additional things to note basically
3:09
everything has filters on it the right hand side the Le hand side the top even
3:13
the power supply which I'll remove and show you right here but it should be
3:16
noted that the top is a little bit difficult to access you have to remove
3:20
the fans that are on the inside and remove all the side panels and
3:23
everything in order to get to that filter another thing to note is that
3:27
while we're showing off the dg-87 right now there actually Four models there's
3:31
the dg-87 dg-86 dg85 and DG 84 and then
3:36
the DG 84 is the most significant difference having no window here and no
3:40
fan controller or display down on the front as well although that is all the
3:44
way down to $149 compared to the 229 of this unit
3:49
we're looking at right now we also checked out the EVGA power link which is
3:53
an aesthetic accessory for EVGA 1070s or
3:56
1080s which makes your power routing look really cool essentially you can
4:00
plug the power supply cables into it instead of the graphics card which
4:04
should remove some cable clutter from the nicely viewable part of your case
4:08
