awesomesauce networks coverage of CES 2016 is brought to you by need for seat go to need for seat USA comp for the ultimate gaming chair experience for your desk in office and Corsair they make good products and you should buy them what's up guys welcome back to coverage of CES 2016 on awesomesauce network I'm here chillin with Brian from fantex how's it going Brian good good is it really going good though it's going good well I walked in here and there's a lot of stuff going on but I kind of narrowed it down to just a few particular new things that you guys have here speaking of which we've got this Eclipse p400 is that correct what tell me tell me about this new case what's what's new with it well this is our new series the Eclipse series it's gonna have two different models the P 400 and the p400s the main difference between those two the P 400 is gonna be our base model no bells and whistles just a straightforward case the p400s is gonna be a slightly upgraded version with dampers on all panels the left and right side as well as a front it also comes with a three-speed fan controller both versions of the case will be available in all three colors black white and anthracite gray these are these fan controllers touch operated capacitive touch the buttons are actually located beneath the panel oh yeah okay gotcha so there's a physical button underneath there but but it's kind of stealthily hidden so it cleans up the aesthetic nice yes and also it comes with a 10 color LED controller similar to the one found on the deluxe and you've already got some LED strips in here which don't come included with the case but you can buy those from the fantex website correct that's correct the additional LED strips come in one meter and two meter lengths gotcha and how many how many drives do these cases support it comes with two three and a half inch drives on the bottom and then you have the option to upgrade to four additional three and a half inch drives if you bought the modular HDD bracket okay awesome and I also like the kind of like the really minimalistic style here I see you guys have been omitted the five and a quarter inch Bay which not honestly not many people utilize these days but yet you still have a lot of good airflow coming up from the top here and I believe there's ventilation at the bottom as well filtered air from the top and the bottom you can fit up to a three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator in the front which should provide good cooling for any CPU or even a GPU yeah I like I like how the how you've also stuck with the really modular drive trays here on the side so you can kind of remove them if you don't if you're not using them and that really opens up a lot more airflow whether you're installing fans or for that 360 radiator you could you have more than enough room for for exactly awesome well thanks I see a bunch of other stuff around here but I'm gonna let you do your thing you got a lot of other things to do here at CES but thanks for your time I'm gonna go ahead and walk around and mess things up at your at your suite here is that cool thanks all right guys check this out this is the pro-am but it looks a little bit different right it's a 89 $99 case originally but for 10 bucks more you can actually get this really nice clean looking acrylic window so you can see all the innards of your case this when I first saw this in person you can't really tell from the camera but it looks like tempered glass but I don't think I think fantex has something against tempered glass and they would really never use that kind of material because it's too fragile oh wait nevermind they do use tempered glass actually this is their evolved ATX one $79.99 was the original price for additional ten bucks just $10 more for $10 more you can get this beautiful tempered glass side panel to really show off the inside on both sides of the case and not just the the left side but the back side as well which which is actually pretty remarkable I'm gonna give a shout out and kind of poke fun at Dimitri from hardware connects right now because he just built an awesome killer system in the original evolved ATX but he has the old window and Dimitri you're probably killing yourself right now but but I hope you're I hope you stay alive for when I meet you later at CES but that's pretty much it for this part of fant --ax no no we have more stuff over there let's go over there follow me all right guys now we are over here on this section of the fantex room and we're looking at this beautiful system right here which is right currently a prototype but you will be able to buy this eventually in q3 of this year this is being called the project nine one six is this the official name or this subject to change it could be subject to change but as of now this is kind of like the codename for the other fantex crew but we use what you essentially have here as a dual system chassis and you've got a full ATX motherboard right there you've got a mini ITX down below this is fully water-cooled by the way beautiful job from the guys at fantex but you've also got some really neat features with the powers why there's two power supplies in here so we've got one in the back here and we've actually got one behind the motherboard tray as well now what we're these motherboards or power supplies are connecting to is this little combo unit here and this is also a fan Tech's innovation what this essentially does is it allows you to regulate the voltage that's going through the power supplies and reaching all the different components and it's it's it's also a failsafe so if if one of the power supplies happens to die the other one will kind of come to the rescue and back it up so that your system is continually powered on so that's a really nice failsafe bit of technology there also it's it's just there to provide a bit more stability in terms of voltage regulation for overclock so if you're overclocking your GPUs or your CPUs you get a little bit more stability with the combo device as well now from the combo device we have a bunch of cables going into there power supply splitter now that essentially just routes all the cables it gives you two outputs going to the single splitter and then out to both of them other boards in the case so really just a full full blown like well-thought-out piece of piece of like system this is a really great system that hopefully we'll be able to see in q3 of this year but that's pretty much all gonna do it for now here at the fantex booth for CES 2016 before I go I want to give a huge shout out to both of my sponsors for CES 2016 need for seat offers high quality PC gaming chairs which feature memory foam padding for extreme
