hey Ron this is Steve from gamers Nexus Donette and we are here at PAX Prime at 2013 and I am here with Nate Ullman official product champion of coolermaster and today we are showing off the half stacker Nate what can you tell us about the half stacker it could tell us a little bit about the design what you're trying to do with it okay yeah so we came out with the half series of several years ago and we've been trying to improve it and we have like most people are familiar with the half product line as a whole so we're just trying to get more ridiculous and make it more open for everybody so the the case we have behind us this is a 945 each of these segments has its own individual name these are nine 15s this is a 925 and another 915 so 25 into tens gives you 45 so what you have here is the top portion has a dual 360 radiators billed through six Raiders on the bottom they have all the internal components and it has a sliding mechanism so we're going for like a total modularity enthusiasts just max out go crazy everything in here was put in under stock circumstances we didn't have the ladders do any kind of drilling or any kind of cutting or removing any parts so nothing's been removed everything's here right now in this rig there are 17 fans so you have the 17 jet flows I think he calculated up earlier that's like seventeen hundred CFM it's ridiculous it's overkill for most people but there's still room for three fans on each other side of the radiator that you can't see three more fans on the top fans for the front that we aren't even putting on so if you just want to load this thing up air cooling wise you could totally do it can you tell us a little bit more about the the design process how you came up with a case idea it's pretty crazy I haven't seen anything like it before what how did you come up with it okay so at at CES 2013 we had tried to make a revision of the 932 and we were calling it the 935 but it just wasn't a big enough change there wasn't enough there wasn't a compelling reason for somebody with a 932 to buy a 935 because aesthetically like the 932 is already really cool-looking and it has so much of a performance jump over other cases that there just wasn't a reason for you to buy it so what we did was we were just kind of in the backroom and one of our product managers John said what if we just started sacking them up like what if you could just put cases on top of cases on top of cases and get ridiculous so if you want something I think he was being like sarcastic about it but it kind of hit hit it you know it hit rung true so you're like you know what let's do that that is a good idea so the they've started you in a mock-up so in I mean we're seven months away from yeah we're seven months away from right now and here we have a case in front of us built off of an idea that somebody come up with at CES so then we just kind of built it up from there we came out our different modules like like these two on top and bottom we have a bunch of other add-ons with like side panel windows a full side panel window if you want to have a side panel window oh I forgot a fan there's a 200-meter fan on the side so if you want a full window you can buy that from us if you want a window in a fan we have that if you want windows on both sides of this we can do that it's just unlimited and open and as modular and as user-friendly as we can make it if you just want small cases we have small case if you want big we have big just and as I understand it you're incorporating some feedback from modders from the community that can you tell us who you're working with what they have what they've said so far yeah we're working with Lee Harrington and wrongly Christensen who do as you can see amazing work they put they put all these systems together in 48 hours and then drove them over here just just phenomenal phenomenal like he just you know so what happened is they gave us feedback they asked if they could have this bottom drive they removed we said sure can we remove this yeah we'll make that possible but don't do it yet you know don't do it yet so we told them do whatever you can with what what's available so we had you know all the radiators and stuff shipped out and they just fit in fit in everything they could and it looked it looks really good like we're all really happy about how everything turned out continuing on with the rest of the stacker case we have two modules right here that Nate wants to show off to us so Nate what can you tell us about these two modules okay so all the stack case all the 1/2 stacker cases have this modularity built in where you can as the name suggest stack them up so what I'm going to show you right here is here's two 915 stacked on top of each other you can slide it back and lift it off and you can put another one on top of this one if you wanted to this top portion comes off as you see so each set comes with a top panel and feet so wherever you want your feet to be if you want to have three these stacked up you could have three of them stacked up if you want to stack up on top of the 925 I guess gonna set up let's take it out the 925 as in this case you can do that put them under as is this is the case whatever you want to do we're leaving to open we're leaving as open as we can for you guys so yeah so if you look at the top here it's completely open so if you had another one on top of it you can pass through on the cable on the cable portion as you're gonna see on your next video all right so in the link in the description below you'll see our next video of the stacker case including a full rundown of all the specs it's pretty crazy to 690 s it's got some Maximus 6 board no big deal so check out the coolermaster half stacker we'll have all the links below full article and I will see you all next time peace
