fit with coverage of CES 2017 is brought to you by fractal design MSI and cable model check out the links in the description below or all your money will turn into dogecoin we're at the aggressive fan text booth now and this is just massive buck Paul can you stand in the frame so I can see yeah they can see how big this box is Paul Paul for scale yep that'sthat's a shipping box if you buy this certain product from fantex it will arrive in that thing let's go ahead and check out to see what exactly it's supposed to fit in there and to elite holy smokes it's finally ready it's finally ready guys this has been like two years in the making and this is the final version that you can see actually it's available now according to context for the low low price of 899 holy crap I'm actually serious about that price point but when you actually take a look at all the features that this thing comes with you can kind of see that this is pretty much a premium case through and through that's been again two years in the making and it really shows here first off you just get a really nice aesthetic super clean typical fantex you get a really nice tempered glass side panel as well the great thing about it is that it actually swings open there's no screws that are on each corner a little some screws or anything like that Paul can so eloquently demonstrate that right now look at this like a clear this guy look at this guy look at that boom but there you go you can also remove that side panel if you wanted to just lips off off those hinges here's a look inside keep forgetting there's like an entire lower compartment here with it's a massive radiator look at that reservoir that reservoirs just ridiculous and actually there's a removable panel that that reservoir is connected I'm sorry reservoir the radiator is connected to and you can just take that out and then do all of your mounting that way stick it back in and that way you can actually build this entire PC without ever having to move the chassis on its side in fact that's how fantex built this system they just told me that they didn't even have to move it around it was just pretty much in one spot it does weigh like 70ish pounds so I guess you wouldn't want to have to move it around too much so that's why they've designed it the way they have if you take a look over here behind the reservoir well first off the reservoir is kind of on this mounting bracket here but that does pretty much pretty much mounted to the back wall there the back wall serves several purposes apart for a mounting year your pump presses are reservoirs things like that you can also mount radiators up to 360 millimeters or you can if you're not using the space at all they have these nice clean brackets you can kind of see in the background there to cover up all of the is the bare metal on those also has 2.5 inch SSD mounts on them so you can show up your SSDs that way but you can also see there's just no shortage of LEDs here this is RGB of course pretty much anything that you would want to think of you can pretty much do it does have full control on the front which we're going to get to in a sec but right now they actually have everything hooked up to the msi mystic light app so everything is connected and can be in sync you can also control things independently if you wanted to I believe and pretty much just just no shortage of possibilities here in terms of aesthetics there's also a just tons of radio support all over the place you've got 480 or a 420 at the top and then at the front there is a 405 60 which is a quad 140 don't see that too much but on the case of this size and caliber that's pretty badass you can also have several radiator options on the compartment panel right here speaking of which if you wanted to you could actually take out the aluminum panel that's right here and swap out a separate panel that comes included with the case in that a mini ITX system in here just just goes on the features never end here so if you want to do a dual system here maybe have one for gaming one for streaming thank you again Paul your hands are very useful today okay that I do I do you know me so well and then you know the i/o would go out the back things like that very fancy stuff here let's go ahead and move around to the front panel boom let's take a look at that now you're just one seven I love you and I don't got it I love you this is why you're here well you stuck your fire thank you alright so here's the print 'hail we've got two pairs of USB 3 ports is actually one pair for each system so the main system and then the mini ITX one and you've also got the V already HDMI front panel which is great for HMDs for your VR headsets USB 3.1 gen2 type-c on the front this is going to be great for all those z2 70 motherboards down of just release that have a front panel USB 3.1 headers on the audio and like microphone jacks and of course power and reset buttons over there to the right and you've also got built-in LED control the full spectrum of different effects and in color tuning if you didn't want to use the something like the msi mystic light app if you take a look at the top here on this is actually kind of an open shroud design for therefore the top panel however if you wanted to tailor the system for silence you could easily swap that panel out with an included panel that is pretty much enclosed for the most part just to get a more acoustically beautiful sound profile with your chassis and if we move around to the side here this is the backside looks pretty normal like no no nothing no frills here but actually if you take a closer look there's there's this little cutout area which you can actually remove the panel which would open up air flow and ventilation for the radiator that you would potentially mount on that bracket we just mentioned earlier and if you do do that they've also included magnetic dust filter you can slap on their fan tax is also you know just just so you know if in case you haven't found out yet they make everything super intuitive so even the side panel on the backside is super easy to remove there's no thumb screws or maybe there's a thumb screw in the back yeah there's there's two thumb screws in the back they are they are captive but they but they also have made it so that you can just latch on the side panel with with couple latches just clips in there it's apart from the capacitive captive thumb screws it's fairly tool listen really easy to mount on and here's a look at the back you can see that they've got some flexible mounting strips there for the rear fan plenty of expansion slots for your video cards and if you want to you can even mount your GPUs vertically as you see right in here you actually have the option to do it either vertically or horizontally under giving you like an extra bracket for all of that Paul's Paul's hands are failing me right now as I was hoping that you would pump out you know bring out the yes a text version of this case is absolutely ludicrous it's the most mad thing I've ever seen so it's actually a copy text I believe is that where I've seen you before yeah and I did a video on this a copy text and edgy I'm still blown away every time I see it it's just absolutely ridiculous I don't know if you guys noticed this also but there's like all the water walks in here all the water blocking here are fantasy so that they sell water cooling products here on everything from the GPU and the CPU block and they also have integrated RGB LEDs which actually you can actually sync all those up to a single splitter and all the other LEDs that are in this case you can just wire that to that splitter and have one Universal connection going to your power supply and that way you can sync every single light that's in that system with this you have this app right here or if you wanted to you could also use the front i/o controller if you don't have software available to you all right let's actually peel this bad boy off Paul go ahead and demonstrate like Vanna White how it is to take off for a second that that came off it Lesley yeah beautiful beautiful face ball you can also see some of those little latches on there so taking a look at the back here first off you get that massive CPU cooler cut out a couple fan controllers here there are six on each I believe six or six of them on each so 12 fans PWM of course yes absolutely very nice you also get a couple SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray that's always nice to see that's one of my favorites have actual orientations for SSDs these days you'll also get this multi-purpose panel on the back here fantex has actually added a couple more cable management velcro straps here for for extra tidiness from what we saw back at Computex and that's also really nice they've also had this huge focus on not wasting in each space in their case so even if you don't happen to be using a certain portion of their case you can it can be used for for several different things so of course you've got a bunch of cable management space right here you don't really have to worry about using extensions or anything like that having excess cabling there's always somewhere to put it behind to be behind the motherboard and down this lower compartment so far from the cable management you also get to pump mounts they are universal you can put on pretty much any pump you want however again going with the whole space-saving theme and not wasting any space if you didn't want to be using a pump in this system there's an included bracket you can put in there for you to the fan tech splitter or the power combo again this is a dual the potential for a dual system chassis so both of those components come in real handy if you don't happen to be doing any custom water cooling where you need a pump in this location you can definitely have some multi-purpose action there but then that's in a nutshell is project n2 elite not project into really just m2 elite you used to be project like 216 or now two one six nine one six and that and I still butcher until this day so I'm glad which is something much easier for me to remember in my oh my dear penis the enth really guys it's out now go buy five of them alright guys this is something you probably haven't seen before unless you watch somebody else's CES video before mine that would suck but this is a project to 1/7 or 217 or to 1/7 do you have a preference no preference it's whatever you want you know it's customizable but basically this is a bench it's a chassis that's meant to just kind of flow naturally in a home-theater environment you don't really see too many projects like this or too many cases like this where it just kind of blends in very organically it kind of has a monolithic look it's kind of got this nice brushed gray aluminum finish on the front however they did say they were thinking about doing all black as well just to make it completely color neutral some things like that you can see it's got tempered glass on both sides and kind of a really unique layout you can see also how small the footprint is now the cool thing about this case though is it doesn't have to be in this orientation you could put it on its side you can put on either side actually you could even flip it upside down I guess if you wanted to the only side you probably wouldn't want to do it on is the very back because there's a couple cables here your power cable for one is run out there an HDMI of course or whatever video outs that you might have but apart from that just a very very nice unique design here you can see there's like a horizontal bar right in the middle it's kind of where the cable management starts or at least part of it and then lose like channel's cable management channels that go on both sides of the panels there's also SSDs behind those panels so there's queue on each side I believe so a total of four drives which is pretty nice as is in terms of flash storage you've also got the the mini ITX board mounted at the top there so kind of an interesting configuration if you move on down you can see if there's a 280 millimeter at the bottom so pretty nice for such a small footprint to have that kind of cooling potential in a case like this there's also a small form-factor power supply in here of course you could actually put an ATX however you would have to mount that horizontally on the floor of the chassis at least in this orientation that would technically cover up the 140 millimeter fan at the bottom and you would lose out at least the the bottom radiator spot right there but it does provide some flexibility depending on your needs now going back to that 140 millimeter fan right there that's kind of like the key of the central focus of how this thing it's cool there's a lot of intake actually at the bottom a lot of bottom ventilation and the air I'm sorry the fan will actually pull the air up throughout the entire chassis cooling all the components inside and exhausting it at the top if we take a look on this side you're probably wondering where the hell is the video cards actually on this side and they've even managed to fit freakin rez in there like an awesome this case is pretty sweet I think the price point they're talking about well actually first up before I talk about that this is project two one seven again they're also making a project two one 7s which is a smaller version maybe slightly less radio support and things like that but looks pretty much identical through and through apart from that price point is anywhere from 100 250 you're saying yeah so the 2 and 7s would be about 100 150 for the regular standard version that you're seeing here which is actually very reasonable for just the kind of support you're getting and just a very unique design so be sure to look out for this sometime maybe during Computex in June hopefully we'll be able to see a more finalized product and maybe it'll even be available before that event and we can maybe do a few builds in it as well on the channel so that's going to do it for now guys let me know what you think of this case it's very different I personally like it a lot love to hear your feedback in the comments below but till next time be sure to stay tuned for more CES coverage it confidence it's all pause fault follows messing up and now he's got me all messed up be sure to stay tuned for more coverage CES 2017 and a huge shout out to my sponsors MSI fractal design and of course cable mob go ahead and check out their stuff in the description below guys I'll see you in the next one have a good one
