bill its coverage of copy text 2019 is brought to you by fantex Coolermaster gigabyte enter max team group NZXT and corsair to learn more about our sponsors click on the links below is she over there getting coffee again why am I even surprised hurry up really late oh thank you I love you again all is forgiven alright we're going to these guys where are those guys well they have from the people who brought you leg introducing our under Oh invite only are we invited okay okay we're at the fantex booth in case you couldn't tell I'm checking out the new and improved Lux - okay this is a it's come a long way since we saw it at CES this year for starters there used to be the fabric mesh that was along the sides here they've actually swapped that out and it's just open air now and they actually found that you get reduced thermals by removing that the fabric mesh is actually really good in certain applications when there's a large surface area of it but in this instance they found that thermals are actually much improved without it so you still get dust filtration though pretty much top bottom and front there's also some additions with some LEDs you've got RGB I digital RGB all along here on the strip kind of very similar to the N through elite there's also some lighting strip in here just above that where the mini ITX board would go if you guys remember this is a dual system chassis so there's a lot of flexibility a lot of options that you can actually play around with here notice that the side panel is actually on hinges snaps in tooless I love to love side panels to hell with to hell with screws and we also have just very nice cable management in here you got one two three four five of these modular trays that you can mount SSDs - SSDs are getting prettier and fancier and decked out with RGB s more than ever before so it's nice to show those off you can actually mount SSDs on the opposite side of them - so at the same time so that gives you a lot of connectivity options you can do mechanical hard drives at the bottom here there's no cage installed right now but you get the idea also just ridiculous amounts of radiator support that we saw at CES you can do dual 360 and dual 480 at the same time which is just kind of insane okay notice that there's a up to 140 mount here better than mine for for a little bit I'm going to come back to that and it's going to blow your mind and we also have on the here more SSDs raise just just no shortage of options you can actually mount to power supplies in this thing if you want to a lot of this is repeat from CES if you guys remember you can check that video out if you want more details but if you go over here they actually have some different use case scenarios of how they've set up the lux to just depending on what you want to do with it this is actually a dual system fully water cooled mini ITX you've got vertical GPU mounting you'd also met a vertical GPU here as well but they have it in a more traditional horizontal orientation this is what I was talking about the 140 millimeter fan mount can actually support this new district this thing is absolutely beautiful I was pretty excited when they show this off to me but even more excited when they told me that this is compatible with pretty much any ATX case that has a 140 mount at the back with at least seven expansion slots this is a game changer and it's going to make custom water cooling a lot more easy and efficient and quite frankly beautiful we also have this guy over here is more of a massive workstation build I believe that's the the dual CPU gigabyte board that's just absolutely insane form factor if you can see it it's perfectly accommodated no modifications required to actually fit that natively you also have a revolt Pro here showing off the power expandability of that nifty little unit there's there's a hard drive cage in action kind of see right there again there's so much flexibility just in this portion of the of the chassis alone and then over here we have just a pure airflow build which is really nice up to 15 fans which is crazy it's still surprisingly quiet look at that bunch of halos on it - oh my god can I just live can I live in this computer case it's so hot outside I never I never want to leave this space this is super exciting - because these are cases we have never seen before which is the p3 60 X so this is built off of the p3 50 a very popular case actually same internal layout but you can see it's got a couple more tricks up its sleeve including this very nice RGB digital RGB lighting on the side here as well as the front panel the front panel is the biggest redesign here they've actually got slots it's hard to see but there's actually two thin slots on either side that's going to alleviate a lot of the pressure that was formally being intake at the top and bottom so it's supposed to help thermal significantly there was one of the shortcomings of the last case but they seem to have fixed that as well this is gonna be retailing for $69 and it's gonna be coming August as is the lux - from what I've been told so every pretty much everything here is coming in August I just just wait till August and then over here we have the eclipse series p400 a actually comes in two flavors black and white and you can see that this is built off of the existing p400 also a very popular case but suffered from some of the same issues that the P 350 did of having relatively closed off intake at the front now it's completely mesh or mostly completely you've got sort of a nice stylized look here but this is completely metal very high-quality very fine mesh so it actually acts as a dust filter as well kind of a multi-purpose thing here still have a dust filter at the top but looks really nice and also RGB so this one actually comes with three RGB fans it's a little bit more expensive not by much there's no fan controller included like there is but this one this one comes with two fans not RGB these are three fans digital RGB I believe it's sixty nine and eighty nine dollars respectively also coming in August oh I should also mention that the vertical GPU bracket design has been revamped pretty much it's much more optimized the existing vertical GPU bracket goes in a lot more easily requires a lot less hassle than than previously it also spaces it out quite significantly from the side panel so you get fresh intake regardless of the GPU that you're using whether it be blower style fan or more of a traditional open-air now if you're not feeling amped enough you might consider checking out the fan ticks amp power supplies this is a new line alright this is basically built off of the same existing revolt I should say quality and design because they are from sea sonic just like the revolt series so very high quality you've got 550 650 and 750 watt it's actually revolt Pro links certified which means that you can actually use these in tandem with the revolt Pro completely compatible they've been validated in-house testing and all that of course there's a lot of existing you know other vendor related power supplies that will support the revolt Pro but these ones are validated by fan tax and coming from the same see sonic DNA you can see why they're incredibly reliable when pairing them in that configuration the pricing is also very very good here it goes from eating on here starting all the way up to one hundred and 999 for the 750 watt additionally you've got a hybrid switch here on the back so if you wanted to do a zero rpm that's under a thirty percent load fans'll it's been a completely silent operation which is very feature to have we also have a fully modular design it comes included with black flat cables which is my favorite actually I prefer the black flats so that's the amp line but that's only half of it that's so why do you guys have so much stuff over here we have the evolve shift air air flow plus a thousand I asked them that is a highly scientific measurement we have the existing shift evolved shift which is a beautiful case actually wifey sauce and I have one of these in our living room at home however ours have the original tempered glass on both sides where as you can see here they use the fiber mesh this is where the fiber mesh really excels when it does have much larger surface area to work with you can also see the RGB fans when they on the other side so you don't quite lose all the transparency that you get with tempered glass it looks really nice and this just gives it a lot more breathability a lot more airflow from both the GPU and the CPU whether you're doing partial liquid cooled or air cooled I mean bear in mind if you're doing an air cooled system in this case you're pretty much resorting to a low profile cooler which doesn't do the best job all the time of thermal dissipation but if you have the help of a fully mesh side panel like this it definitely goes a long way if you're an existing shift user these are going to be sold separately you can add them on it's completely compatible with the existing shift or if you want to just buy this from the get-go completely brand-new you can buy the shift air with the side panels included you can also mix and match if you wanted to have keep glass on one side mesh on the other can have your cake and eat it too which is gonna be great if you want to like keep it a little bit more acoustically sound if you have this wedged into the corner of your living room for example you might want to put you know the mesh panel on the side that's facing the wall so it doesn't really interrupt your viewing experience here we have the enthu elite bill that was showed off at CES that is supporting the ridiculously over built and over engineered Dominus motherboard from Asus but you can see that they still have their custom water block science and the elite case is pretty much one of the few cases on the market that can actually support these motherboards natively you can see that they've also got their new and improved pump pump reservoirs which are very nice they have a fully transparent backing now so if you had RGB fans behind them you could actually still see them pretty well over here is pretty much the same thing but they've actually swapped out the motherboard for the massive gigabyte board and you can see that they've actually got custom water blocks for that board as well so this can this can all be bought sort of not as a kit but well these products are sold separately and they kind of all go together especially because there's the revolt pro in here which is doing some power expansions so we have additional power very clean power in fact because with the revolt Pro there's only one ATX cable that needs to go to the motherboard instead of two so you're dealing with independent ripple it's much more stable power going to the board and then over here we have a nice look at the distro block that I showed you earlier in the lux - absolutely gorgeous it's kind of showing off you need that seven expansion slot height in order for it to work well they've also got a new and improved water block system so these are actually covering a lot more surface area of the motherboard the entire socket whether you're talking Intel or AMD is gonna be pretty much just fully populated with digital RGB now that wasn't there before and this is just gonna help eliminate some of the gap between the actual water block and the vrm heat sinks on the board just to give it a more seamless look it almost kind of looks like a mono block especially the AMD one looks very nice we also have new and improved blocks in this style the glacier Radeon seven and r-tx 2070 both of those cards will be supported by these blocks the blocks will pretty much look like this regardless of if you go AMD or Nvidia of course there will be some slight differences and on the bottom as well and here's another look at the glacier ar160 see the pump reservoir is that have those translucent transparent backings and also digital RGB very nice fan tax is also showing off their metallic gear cases these are the the silent - the Neo silent cases that we actually already saw at CES they're they're setting off again just so we can get another look but over here we actually have the V two versions of the Neo cases and the og neo mini Neo micro and neo v2 the nice thing about these cases that they haven't really changed the very simple minimalistic and classy look of them internal layouts pretty much the same as well although they have improved it in one big way by actually making the front panel a little bit further away from the fan so you get increased airflow also I believe these these ventilation slots are quite a bit bigger than they were before which was pretty much one of my very few gripes of of the the v1 cases so now that that's improved I'd love to do some AV comparison testing to see how much of a difference that makes but so far it's looking pretty promising everyone holding their breath I'm checking you checking you did you make a wish yes that's that's why you hold your press is to make the wish come true you see you have to deal with on these trips dude is pouring rain right now I am so glad we have cars play where we going right now man gang okay Nanjing is the main show for two main Exhibition Centre for company were just a hotel there's some vendors that that's exhibit there but where we're going right now is where the main goods are so wait who are we seeing next
