fiblets coverage of Computex 2018 is brought to you by fantex berta gear enter max be quiet and cable mob you can learn more about their products and the links below what's going on guys welcome back to my coverage of Computex 2018 I'm here at the fantex booth however they kind of dropped a huge bomb on me when I got here that I was not expecting they're actually launching their sub brand known as metallic gear or mg to the public starting today which is super exciting this is the same fantex quality we've come to know and love super high-end premium materials being used however for catering to a whole new audience a sort of a mainstream audience that maybe can't afford some of the high-end premium cases that fantex offers but still wants a very streamlined build overall with a lot of the essential features that most enthusiasts are looking for so let's quickly go down the line and take a look at their neo line neo is sort of their the line of this new sub brand that we're gonna be exploring today and there's a variety of cases there's actually four new cases that we're gonna be checking out today including the Neo this is an ATX case you can see it's very minimalistic it's got some ventilation on the sides here the front panel pops out like so completely tooless you can see we've got two included 120 s at the front there there is a an LED RGB LED at the bottom here which is expandable so you can connect that up to your to your motherboard and so forth very nice accessibility here for your hard drives that we don't have to remove either of the tempered glass side panels that's right you get two tempered glass side panels on this case which is fantastic I believe this case is gonna retail for around $99 power and we set up here looks like you've got an RGB button on the side with two USB 3 there is also audio jacks and it's kinda hard to take a look inside here do you mind if I remove the panel really quick now it's it's pretty clean cable routing actually there no grommets or anything like that but they tuck away just behind this little popped out piece of the motherboard tray there's also cutout to the bottom there's sort of a semi power supply shroud going on here you definitely get like a top panel but you still get visible power supply and things like that you can stash more cables under here if you wish seven expansion slots you get three included like I said those 120 s at the front and one more at the back and I also want to point out that you can do up to a 280 millimeter radiator at the front of this case also take a look at that that pattern at the bottom of the panel this is sort of a design that is sort of sort of repeating throughout these neo cases here is the sort of a sort of polygonal tessellated feel which I actually like it also kind of serves a purpose of covering up the power supply and the hard drive cage taking a look at this side of the motherboard tray we've got a couple things going on here three SSD mounts actually includes two trays and you can mount these kind of wherever you want and have room for cable management elsewhere or you don't have to route any cables in this area you can mount them all behind or route them all behind this cable cover that has a looks to be a single thumb screw there very easy it's on a hinge so you can easily just kind of pop it on and off as you see fit and then continuing with that a nice polygonal design here at the bottom of the tempered glass so all together looks very nice very clean looking and this case will be offered very much like the micro ATX and one of the mini ITX cases we're about to look at and will be offered in both black and silver so you get your pick of the leather there here we have the Neo micro which is a micro ATX version of the Neo a lot of similar features you get the SSD mounts now on the top of the power supply shroud which is kind of cool if you want to show those off from this side of the chassis you also get the same sort of tempered glass on both sides you're not really sacrificing much here in terms of functionality but you are getting a much smaller footprint in size if you're looking for a more compact system you get one two three four expansion slots and it does look like you have some some room for routing cables back here with some velcro straps to tie everything down moving on to the Neo Mini this is perhaps one of my favorites the mini ITX version of course you guys know I love small form-factor builds this is actually really cool the first thing that you see here is is the the tessellated pattern here is actually now moved to the top but it's serving the purpose of covering up your power supply which is mounted at the top of the case there's also plenty of room for water cooling here you can do a two hundred and eighty millimeter radiator at the front or two forty on the side where they have those RGB fan those fans are purchased separately there's also plenty of ventilation at the bottom of the case which is actually really good considering the GPU gets mounted close to the bottom of the chassis still get 2 USB 3 mic and headphone and LED what's hooked up to that and last but not least we have the Neogene mini which sort of is a premium version of the neo mini we just took a look at the two main changes or upgrades I should say of this chassis are the tempered glass front panel with the nice design and then also you get the included vertical bracket or I shouldn't say it's a bracket it's actually built in never mind it's a completely built in solution for vertical GPU mounting which is kind of makes this a showpiece case if you really want to just show off every piece of the project you also get the riser cable included so again a very nice very nice alternative to a you know a conventional mini ITX case so there it is guys that is m-g or metallic gear from fantex this is a brand-new line sub line I'm digging it so far I can't wait to get my hands on one of these cases and take it for a spin but let me know what you guys think about it in the comments always curious to hear your thoughts I'll go ahead and toss a like on the video if you enjoyed it also feel free to get subscribed for more tech stuff coming at you really soon specifically from here at Computex 2018 have a good one guys I'll see you all in the next video
