Rosewill Stealth, Rise, and Blackhawk V2 preview & CES 2014

2014-01-10
hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus donna and we are in the Rose well sweet here at CES 2014 is the end of our second day of CES and this time I am doing this alone we are not joined by boo check the link in the description below to see some of his videos with the throne which is in we actually have an awesome case mod from vs mods where we did a walkthrough of that but what we're looking at here today alright we have three new gaming cases that rose well as putting out and the first one this is the one I want to focus on it's a bit more interesting to me I think it's more appealing probably for the the mid-range system builders it is a 120 dollar rose will rise so this one does come with 1 inch of cable management space in the rear side of the board we have two two and a half inch SSD trays back there and and then stock it ships with 3 120 s in the front and 1 140 in the rear you can put in a three sixty millimeter radiator up here and here so we also have a modular drive cage set up down here which can be easily moved if you do want to use a three sixty millimeter radiator one note though if you if you move it you might run into issues with the power supply so do check on the power supply spec if you're using something that's that's a bit larger I guess another item to note the filters will just pop out so you kind of you pop it pull it out and you can wash it that way so we don't have any screws or anything like that and for mounting the drives other than the modular cage in the bottom we have this big black bar right here and this does not have any normal drive scaffolding we kind of you're used to seeing all the scaffolding and in a case for mounting multiple drives this is just one bar and and the drives actually screw and kind of flat against it instead of horizontally and what that does is it reduces the amount of you know plastic and other materials in the way of the fans so theoretically we have better airflow we'll have to test that and see how it does it can be removed as can the other drive cage so moving on we have the Blackhawk v2 of course based on the original Black Hawk design and we actually I think we gave away a couple of these recently so do keep an eye out for any events like that there is a 12.5 inch SSD cage on the back sled and other than that pretty standard stuff we don't know the fans back yet we do have a fan hub here as in the rise and and then pretty standard mounting couple dust filters and this one is priced at a hundred dollars so it does actually I think this one has this little pop off magnetic panel up here which I should probably not be holding too close to my electronics and there's a an SD card slot in the top 4 USB 3 as of now normal power and reset and we've got fan controller as well and finally we have the stealth case it is priced at seventy dollars as of now pretty standard low-end you know budget range case it sort of actually reminds us a lot of the r5 kind of talking about that earlier there are five of course we liked a lot check a link in the description below for that as always the fans back we have all 120 s two in the front one in the rear one at the top and of course you've got plenty of spots for more if you want to add more and other than that no no fancy fan hub no fancy trays on the back because it is a cheaper case but we do have half an inch of cable management space on the rear which is enough for a basic build if you're doing a budget system they're too simple fan controllers up here we've got a high in a low setting on each one so you got two channels if you want to set the front and the rear kind of at different speeds in case you have fans that are varying rpms so that covers these cases and next we're going to check out the legacy you too which is a much smaller case so this is the last case I want to show up there are a lot of these tiny cases that rose well as putting out now check the link again for all of those in a write-up this is the legacy you to it comes in black and silver it's a four and a half pound pretty light all aluminum case so it does actually remind me a bit of Lian Li except much much cheaper it is a one hundred twenty dollars and for the video card planets we have two and two hundred twenty millimeters for CPU clearance we have 1 75 millimeters which basically fits every cpu cooler that you would want to use in one of these and there's a 120-millimeter fan stock in the rear we have a couple of standard SSD cages in the bottom and on the side in the case finally there is a side window so if you're building a like say a steam machine which are pretty popular now you can pop that in there take it to your land event pretty cool stuff so as always we will try to review a couple of these cases get some thermals online for you and yeah hit the links for all of the full write-up details and i will see you guys next time peace
