fit wits coverage of CES 2017 is brought to you by fractal design MSI and cable mod check out the links in the description below or check out the links in the description below it's your choice we're now rolling up to the in win booth I always love checking out anyone they've always got some cool stuff let's check it out alright so many of you guys are already a fan of the Inman 303 it was a very successful case that was sort of unexpected from a company like inland where it just it just had a lot of cool features going forward had a really unique look well they've actually taken that same sort of idea that concept of a case and shrunk it down like a lot of case vendors do but actually this is really really really cool this is the Inland 301 and it's kind of like the smaller brother of the 303 you can see it still got sort of the same look same case feet same sort of a matte finish on the front with the LEDs at the front unfortunately the LEDs right now or are red and I think that's just how they're going to stay of course you don't have to connect that whether it's a molex or SATA plug if you didn't want to if you want to just leave the LEDs off however you also do get some tempered glass on the side I do like the the latch system that they're sticking with that I think that is a huge plus thank you very much Paul I'll just get rolled in if you look at the internals here you can see this is definitely a case that's built for water cooling despite being a mini ITX form factor so you've got a 240 millimeter radiator at the front there looks like they've already got a pumping reservoir attached to the front with a special bracket that is of course not included you also get to depending on how much hardware you want to put at the front you can get full hardware support for a GPU you've got kind of an interesting layout in terms of storage and power supply power supply and storage are both at the top of the case you can see they've actually included a shroud there so even if you have a hideous sticker on your unit you're totally safe from it looking horrendous storage is also right there three and a half or two and a half inch right up there at the front and then at the bottom you've got some fans you've got air flow actually coming from the bottom of your chassis other those are to 120s and you've got another 120 at the back the fans that you're seeing here are in wins own line of RGB chassis fans so these are not included with the case but again the main appeal here the main draw is to have something that you can kind of carry around tote with you if you need to or if you just don't want to take up too much desk space while still having quite a bit of water clothing potential they're still messing around with the MSRP for this I told them maybe 70 to 80 dollars I mean you are getting tempered glass you're getting some decent water cooling support and it just looks pretty badass again the the thing that made the inland 303 so popular is that it was just a really aggressive price point you know eighty nine dollars or so depending on where you got it so they can't go too much further than that with the 301 but it's looking pretty promising so far let me know what you guys think in the comments below speaking of user feedback this is an in win 303 but it's kind of an OEM design you can see on the front it looks completely different than what we've seen on the traditional retail version so they've kind of got like a gloss finish here there's also no branding there's like there's zero branding instead of having the England logo right there it's just completely blank and when was just telling me that they were thinking about having users designer or H in their own logo make it kind of like an OEM feel to customize it even further internals here all the same the only difference here is that front panel let me know what you guys think do you guys like the gloss finish with the minimalistic branding or do you prefer the traditional Inman 3:03 look I kind of told them like a hybrid would be good like give users the matte finish without the branding and I think everyone will be happy but that could be just mean let me know in the comments what you think and this is especially needing your user feedback right here this is also an in win 303 however they've messed around with some of the internal layouts as well first off RGB LEDs I think that was just a long time coming I think as soon as I saw this case the first thing I thought was why can I only have like red or white LEDs or red or red or blue LEDs that just doesn't make sense so RGB I think is definitely something that many of you guys will be like kind of roll your eyes like of course it's now our GB but at the same time it is kind of nice having that option to select whatever color you want based on the the scheme that you're going for also the other difference you'll see here it's kind of hard to tell let me go ahead and take this panel off doo-doo-doo-doo these tempered glass panels I always get nervous at these conventions but the other big difference here is that you'll see that the GPU is now mounted vertically so it does cover up some of the motherboard however it does also show off more of your GPU shroud so I don't know I think this kind of ties in really nicely with the the fact that the fans or the radiator support is mounted in that sort of vertical orientation as you see there it kind of just goes hand in hand in my opinion but some of you guys might feel differently so let me know in the comments what you think do you like it like this vertical orientation or more the traditional original kind of a horizontal layout there let's go ahead and see the last case that were checking out here at the booth and we'll wrap this up alright guys this is the last case we're checking out here today and when this is the Tao 2.0 apparently there was a Tao 1.0 that I never even heard about so when I saw this I was like ooh brand-new case it's kind of more of a refined case they made some updates to since the last one so speaking of which the first one is this LED touch sensor which Paul can so eloquently demonstrate so I guess yeah that's that's totally functional I'm not sure if this is just like a prototype because it's not really working the power button works because clearly Paul just turned everything off but apparently that the finger sensor you can slide it up and down and change the LED brightness on there I believe those are fixed LEDs in terms of color I don't believe you can change the actual color of them the other addition that they've made here or the revision is that they've actually increased the thickness of the tempered glass from three to five millimeters so it does look pretty beefy I will say it does look nice it kind of looks like this polygon old texturized things DVI I don't know it kind of looks like dark crystal status you know from from the future the other last additions they've made here is that they've included dual three 360 rad support so you get 360 at the front and the top for pretty much any kind of water cooling customization you might want to throw in there I'm over all a pretty insane looking rig I will say the one the one shortcoming that I would say is and this is kind of just you know constructive criticism hopefully to in win is stop making your power supply's proprietary because I what why cuz that kind of limits the functionality you can't actually pop this power supply into a different case should you decide to do so in the future however it is a pretty pretty nice power supply it is 80 plus certified I believe well uh Platinum maybe maybe even died sanding I'm not sure don't quote me I'm not that it is 1065 watts I forget the exact model name of course inland is also known for their really high quality power supplies I would just hope to see less proprietary versions of that in the future but that is going to do it for now guys this has been in Wynn at CES 2017 I'm with Paul hmm thank you guys so much for watching stay tuned for more coverage coming really soon thinking to my sponsors MSI fractal design and cable wad go ahead and check out their stuff in the don't stop it stop it Paul do not subscribe to Paul's channel in fact you should unsubscribe if you are already here to subscribe nope you go away you stay out of my videos you stay out all right guys I gotta go screw you Paul
