SilverStone Micro-ATX & Mini-ITX Cases | LD03, PS15 Computex 2018

2018-06-05
hey everyone we're at copy tax 2018 at the Silverstone booth now a couple of updates from CES cases we saw from Silverstone also a couple of new ones so the main one to talk about probably the LDO 3 which is basically a showroom ITX style case this is the frame of another case where we talk about the SG 14 except on its face before that this video is brought to you by Thermal Grizzlies high-end thermal paste and liquid metal thermal Grizzly's cryo knot is an affordable high quality thermal compound that doesn't face some of the aging limitations of other pastes on the market cryo knot has a thermal conductivity of 12.5 watts per meter Kelvin focuses on endurance is easy to spread and isn't electrically conductive making it safe to use on GPU dies thermal grizzly also makes conductor not liquid metal which we've used to drop 20 degrees off some temperatures than our dee-lighted tests by a tube at the link in the description below so the LDO 3 basically it's it's the new SG 14 and they show it as G 14 years ago it's been revised completely power splice we moved around this is an L do 3 that uses the SG 14 chassis and tooling again just inverted so inverted motherboard lay out the orb all rotated motherboard layout the video card over here is up against the glass on the side we'll talk about that in the moment in a moment the bottom intake here is suitable for a 120 motor fan there's also a 120 millimeter fan option at the top there's an 80 millimeter fan exhaust option over here Silverstone is still kind of in the design development phases so if you have thoughts on this case let them know below because you actually have an opportunity to impact it one of the things they're debating is whether or not to include 120 fans or just let the users buy it because as always they can include them it'll cost a lot more clearly to do that or leave it stock you pay less but then you provide your own fans so anyway 120-millimeter option the bottom all the intakes coming in through sort of the back here where there's no plastic or anything on the side this side has a bit of glass and some grille on the sides a bit of a grille on this front and other than that the exhaust is entirely out the top where there's a mesh and there's some exhaust on the back where the power supply goes power supply mounts back this way there are SSD sleds on this side of the chassis facing like I said it's a showroom case so everything that could look good is exposed out words the CPU sort of down center as you'd expect video card is the only thing I'm personally concerned about I really like the case design visually it looks cool it's very interesting they've rotated a Mini ITX case and many ITX is kind of in right now so I really like where the designs going thermals for the GPU my only point of concern I think it can be addressed though I think it can be made to work especially if maybe I don't know how much room there is to play with the matte bottom fan but shift it over it should be pretty good anyway that's the LDO 3 pricing I'm curious what you think it'll cost I guess leave a comment on what you think that'll be but if you unpause the video now should be somewhere towards $100 depending on there's 120mm fan inclusions and also what happens with a 80 millimeter fan so that's the LDO 3 pretty interesting but let's take it over to the other new case from Silverstone's booth including the CS 381 which is more of like a mini server size chassis we talked about at CES and then also a PS 15 tentatively tjo a and a couple of other items over in the rest of the booth CS 381 over here is personally interesting this can fit 10 hard drives in it in the front center area and they've updated this front panel so now it's got a bit more mesh on the front for the paneling but you can see it's actually more or less hot-swap setup for the 10 drives if you wanted to you could do another two hard drives 3.5 inch on the side currently it's set up for fan so it's either you got more fans more airflow or more drives and they actually have a really old card as an easter egg in there it might almost be ATI era card but if you wanted to do a micro ATX base the Mini server build which we're considering for an Astra placement it's a pretty good form factor for it you can fit a high end machine in there so my thoughts on a use case for this or basically small compression server so you put something like micro ATX thread ripper or I nine whatever series CPU is you can let it do video compression and stuff like that while also storing a ton of video on it airflow should be pretty good actually especially if you forgo the 23.5 options on the side and just go with one 20s but worst case you'd throw in some one 20s and or some extra hard drives v twelve of them so that's a cs3 81 100% clear on release date for it yet but it's been updated a bit from CES looks pretty good this is the SG 14 I was talking about so this is the one that the LDO 3 we started in front of his based off him super lightweight chassis it's got a pass-through for demonstrating the lightness here the pass-through for the power on the back and that just plugs into the power supply Silverstone's done that a few times before so that's a mini ITX case it looks pretty good it's actually this one I'm interested in as well so this one here is a PS 15 it's a micro ATX case if you remember the Vulcan I want to say that was an ng XE case a lot of people really wanted to follow up to the Vulcan and it never came not from NZXT anyway so it's a this is a micro ATX set up with a full mesh front supposed to be pretty budget targeted so anywhere thirty to fifty dollars just call that the range I don't know that it'll include fans but you can pick them up cheap enough so yeah micro ATX silverstone basically with their small form-factor cases tries to stay true to the form factor of the motherboard and not just making a gigantic box with smaller motherboard support and call it an ITX rate micro ATX case this is genuinely micro ATX and suitable for the size so i really like that one presently we'll have to see how it doesn't reviews obviously before recommending to purchase but in terms of airflow and mesh I can tell by looking at it that it's gonna be better than a lot of the ones on the market it's just a matter of what fans do you put in it because it'll probably come with none so as far as cases where a tradeshow looks pretty good for that one these two are based off of some of the chassis he's that I was standing in front of a moment ago over there this is a tjo a tentative name tjo 8 pro and the PS are 7 more or less the same tool in just the differences the front panel is solid on one of them and then you can push this thing down if you want a five and a quarter bay I know a couple of you I've wanted them a couple of you really really really really hate five and a quarter Bay's but I guess it's an option if you want it so that's the case is for Silverstone and let us know which ones you're interested in and we'll try and get them for review in the future as always thank you for watching go to patreon.com/scishow second tops out directly
