hey Ron we're at Silverstone suite now at CES 2019 but you couldn't tell because it's the same suite every year Silverstone always does things that are typically you get some stuff on display that's still concept and I mean that's nice look at some of the other stuff we saw this year where it was it was a finished product that clearly wasn't supposed to be there and was a placeholder so there's some concept stuff here like the Raven and then there's some more or less finalized stuff before that this video is brought to you by the deep cool captain 240 Pro AO cooler the captain 240 Pro uses a bladder within the water tank to expand and contract based on liquid temperature as a leak prevention mechanism this works by birthing air at higher temperatures making for a unique closed-loop liquid cooler design the captain 240 Pro also expands upon the existing captain series by extending tube lengths for more flexible positioning and updating the LEDs learn more at the link in the description below the red line oh eight the the are l06 of course many of you are familiar with from our coverage one of the best performers we tested in its size category and it's price class the rlo eight follows the same trend or at least the same external appearance of having a mesh front which is nice to see this borrows the tooling of the chassis from one of the LDC R series cases and it's pretty evident by the chimney on the side that we talked about last year but it's got a red stripe on it so it fits the red line series technically could go white if you want the alternative version in terms of the case layout mesh front mesh top there's dust filter with magnetic dust filter and then the front has two 140 millimeter fans back has one 120 millimeter fan the price should be about a hundred bucks I believe for this case and that's what those fans included other than that it is an inverted micro ATX layout micro ATX has had a bit of a revival lately and Coolermaster as an example said that there I think if there q500 was one of their better selling cases for the past year because there's such limited good micro ATX competition on the market so you can count this as an entrance to that competition the RL zero eight and because it's inverted you get the interesting effect of having the video card facing up just like with any other inverted case so if you did mount fans up here you probably want to do intake to blow just straight into the GPU fan and the effect is functionally the same as between a side intake in a standard orientation case we've got direct intake straight into the fan except the fan is more exposed in this stance than where it's horizontal it I guess is basically a vertical orientation GPU with side intake which you don't really see anywhere so from a cooling standpoint this looks promising and we'll test it as always but it does look promising the default fan spec is good the the price for micro ATX is about where it should be and I think at this point we're just curious about how many of you are buying micro ATX to let us know because I know the the NZXT Vulcan when that one Yoel a lot of people in our audience were disappointed the next case is a revival of the Ravens series and the Raven series case is our v02 has been on the top of the thermal charts for a long time and it's a bit of a problem because it's making it hard for anyone else to win the best of bench Awards because the RB 0-2 has been sitting there for so hon so RB 0 2 is still up there this is a revival it doesn't have a product name yet it doesn't have a price yet it's an a' prototype status so what you're seeing on the front of the case is not final not much is 100% final so we'll ask you to be open-minded and maybe leave suggestions or what you'd like to see below so one example this glossy front panel should probably change one of the considerations right now and this is important to get your feedback on is should it be an acrylic so sort of like the revolt to that I wipe our made a few years ago we've got an acrylic display for the video card because since its again inverted and you had actually well slightly rotated with the video cards at the front you could display those video cards and the video card shroud is one of the most iconic pieces of pcs so I guess that might be appealing to some of you but let us know because silverstone has the opportunity here to make changes still so one thing discussed is changing this with a slightly tinted acrylic could go clear acrylic or black out with a matte color kind of like the rest of the case the back is still in finalization the back of the chassis is still in finalization stages but the interior you're more or less getting you see what you get already bottom is still two of the large fans the 180 millimeters the air penetrators which we reviewed previously the one of the AP 81-81 the original and then a follow-up to that these are AP 180 threes so a few updates from the RV zero to that we reviewed originally double ball bearing whereas the original the AP 181 was a sleeve I think the AP 182 went to a double ball bearing as well for the RPMs it's looking like 400 to 1500 on the 183 s that are in this case which is an uptick from the 1200 rpm max of the original that I was talking about earlier 40% less power consumption for the fan at 1500 rpm versus the previous max of 1200 rpm which is significant so it's not even rpm matched and it's still down pwm which is important as well and then the rest of this is going to be case side stuff so I think we have shots of this coming off and there's a 120 on the top with the grille on it which is helpful for sort of just targeting the airflow the back side has had important updates so the biggest problem with good cases that are old is that trends like cable management weren't a thing yet this has had updates for cable management it's had updates for some radiator support so the side over here can do it to 80 millimeter radiator the back is again basically TBD but the side can do to 80 so that's a good improvement as well it's just I think from a performance standpoint because it's so similar in the important ways to the RB 0 to accept improved with the fans performance is looking fine it's just going to come down to looks and that's where I mean we can't really we can say I say what I think but I think you need to hear what the wider audience thinks so what happens to the front panel let me know what you think my opinion if you want to pause and leave your comment first is probably go with an acrylic just because it be unique because you could see the video card and that is a display piece rather than the front of the case natively it's sort of interesting to me but maybe not a good seller so let us know and then the back panel I think should probably be flattened but if you disagree feel free to post your comments silverstone will will potentially read them or i'll send them the ones that aren't trolling and me me otherwise that's it for silverstone suite hundred dollars for this one TBD for a lot of things on this including price subscribe for more as always go to
