hi welcome to Silverstone's CES to 2013 sweet my name is Tony I'm the marketing manager for sourcing technology today we're looking here at a new case that's coming very soon in a couple of months it's called the Raven our visa for me and can see from the side it has an upside down loadable orientation and it'll fit up to an extended ATX motherboard and anything smaller than that it also fits seven hard drives here you have a removable hard drive rack that fits five hard drives in addition to two hot-swap capable drive cages and beneath the drive cages you can actually mount them additional four SSDs on the filing of the case and you can also see here right up one of the drive cages there's a CPU support mount so that I'll hold up any really heavy CPU coolers that you may have in addition we also included a bracket here that will allow you to also hold on your heavy graphics card and if you can see the case the entire case is designed for maximum airflow so things like the drive cage and also this plastic mount here for the extended graphic has supporters all Act acting as part of the I guess an air duct to help direct air flow to where they need it so another improvements that we made compared to some of our older cases in getting as few I guess restriction as possible through the FEM filters front of the case so things like the FEM filter here are designed to let air flow through much higher than before whereas before the air air flow rates about 60% these are about 90% okay second thing that we did differently compared to us onto all the cases that we have is that there are no metal grills on the front panel so the fans operating in the most efficient with the least amount of air turbulence so that there's two things not only increasing air flow but also reducing air turbulence and one upgrade that we made to the older fan it's also that in the case were coming with speed switches that allow you to select three different speed as opposed to two so for those of you are looking for the fortress version of this new case layout then we have the fortress at T zero four that's finished this very beautiful and front door has been to use a shape extruder element very beautiful very solid inside there are a few things different from the RV o4 and that's the sound dampening material behind the front door and also on a bottom top panel and also two side panels at the off also receive upgraded ap 182 fan standard so that means instead of speech switches they are now speak knobs house they'll allow you to adjust the fan speed down down to 500 p.m. and up to $2,000 you and you can see the really interesting slanted vent here on the sides they're angled backwards so that designed to direct noise away from the user and tour the back of the case so here's the third case based on the exact same internal design we you know our engineers thought that with all the extra cooling power that we designed with our vo for and at to4 but there's another way to utilize all this performance and that is to create a case with on seeing I guess the spoof ability on for any computer cases before so on the front we have a 3-ethyl filter okay this is a very restrictive they do they're great for air purifiers and air conditioners but not so for computers usually because usually computer fans aren't powerful enough to overcome the with this resistance provided by these set of filters so with the better airflow ability that RV or for an FTO for design gifts you decided that maybe this is worth a try and it turned out for a long testing that is actually this case is actually capable of overcoming this filter here and to cool a mid-range to high-end system so I think this will be really good for people that may be living in very dusty working in very testing environment to have a case that can truly be dust preserved and there are other design elements that we have invented like the slanted bends on the front in the back so he can see even the cabling on the back are covered so that means the case is also somewhat spill proof so you could have and I'll accept them the water spilled on top of this and your system should be fun I'm sorry so we give the name of this case I'll eventually set it on the named minute okay because the mammoth survived in very harsh conditions in during the Ice Ages so we think this name also fail this case was really well because we'll be you know capable of surviving in very harsh computing environment those are the three new tower cases with here we have a 2013 this one it's still just a prototype but these two are coming within this quarter with retail price ranging around $150 for the Raven over $200 for the fortress and for this is still unknown so stay tuned
