what's up guys I'm Dmitry here at beat Phoenix boobs actually we haven't checked out anything from beat Phoenix in a while but this one should be interesting I hope you guys enjoy this one but first huge thanks to Thermaltake color master and fantex for making this trip possible alright so what we are showing here today is the new answer case so if you guys recall the original and so I had this completely sort of like blocked off front panel so it's it was quite popular because of the looks it was $79 it was $79 that's right so $79 enclosure with tempered glass and was quite beautiful because of all this RGB but of course they got some flak man cuz look at this it just don't go in alright so they were like obviously we got to do something about it and they were like hey and so much so this one is the new one it is only five dollars more expensive which is obviously it's totally acceptable it's not a totally new tooling they just had to redesign the front mesh a little bit because before we had the two dust filters for the bottom two fans the top fan was just left alone but now we have the entire dust filter so they were like ah that is the way to go my friends so here the mesh is actually quite nice from this side it doesn't look like mesh because it has the it's quite dense so actually almost feels like it's a solid piece but then you've come to the front and then boo surprise RGB LEDs shining right through of course only if you have the RGB fans installed as usual as the original it comes with two fans and they're unsure yet where to put the RGB fan that I think will be addressable because they just announced new fans but yeah this is the answer mesh just fixing the front panel so that the airflow is of course better in my interview or what I don't know what are you doing I'm gonna talk about the case alright I'll be out of my way then peace out k-town ah what do we do alright so this is going to be the feedback piece alright so just get out that keyboard warrior soul out of you and hammer on those keys because we need your feedback all right this is the new case it's called the Fujian fusion fusion alright from BitFenix so basically they want to know what you guys want to see a new case and so they they kind of compiled all the all outdated frame design things in here and basically want to know what they should they should keep alright so the main focus for this fusion case they're telling us would be airflow so they want to put the mesh on the front and they want to hear what type of design for the mesh that you would like guys like to see so either completely exposed so you can see everything internally if let's say you have an RGB fan you can see that all the way or they can have this like middle section piece that covers up that RGB and it's not like really in your face they do have an addressable RGB LED at the top over here but there you can count the LED so it's not exactly ambient I hope they will fix it so that the the lighting illumination is better they have included a new TG panel so it's a simple thing where it kind clips on them in the front and removes from the back via thumb screws so that's awesome now on the interior this is the something that I want your guys opinion about because I've told them what I think and I want you to do the same all right so the main idea what the fujian case is that like I said airflow so front mesh design they're still gonna figure out how to make that's the whole thing happen but it will be a lower price point at $79 versus the end so mesh so it kind of like almost competing with each other and if this case doesn't offer anything totally unique versus the end so why would you go with something like this so potentially they're thinking of a lower price point and this is something I told them you know why does the case have to be so long especially when the motherboard is owned the ATX support EA TX is not supported the motherboard grommets are not wide enough to accommodate ehe X because that motherboard will totally cover that section and example even if you had the ATX motherboard in here supported what they gonna do with this whole space you know air flow it doesn't you're not you don't get improved air flow by having a longer case you actually get better air flow if the case was slightly shorter so that the fans are closer to the components at least that's what I think but if you are delivering us a long case like it then you should probably utilize that space for something else like hard drive cages potentially longer motherboards or have a little protrusion on that section so you can populate and hold all the cables behind it so a $79 fusion that offers nothing unique and actually you know buying the Enzo at $79 and potentially modifying the front panel for better airflow would be a better bet so given all that given what you've seen here with the fusion or the power supply shroud that has no no cut outs it has no storage capacity what would you do and what would you change and what would you tell to beat Phenix to change because that's that's the whole point you know we we've discussed what we don't like about it this to me feels like a three year old case so what would make you know what would turn this from a three year old case into something that would be launched in 2018 alright so coming to the back here what is new here nothing is new they're just reusing the same tooling for the beat phoenix pandora which had a lot of issues you know we have a very flat motherboard tray nothing on here and whenever you have these discs it kind of the cable mess that is sure there's enough spacing here for the side panel to close but we as builders expect a lot more from a 20-18 enclosure especially when it comes to you know this is a very simple build I know we have what how many six fans in here and look at this cable mess you need cable covers seed a little motherboard protrusions you need a fan controller potentially maybe not for that price point but you know we need potentially maybe something at the bottom below them below the motherboard tray in front the power supply for storage something that makes your assembly process easy and I feel like there really hasn't been any innovation with this type of layout for three years so why are we seeing something like this in 2018 now sure we have these two SSD brackets but you cannot relocate them to a more you know desirable position you know where's the modularity where's the flexibility I wouldn't want to work in this with you all right guys so that is the beat Phoenix fusion I cannot say I'm impressed but that's how the feedback loop works there in the current stage where they can actually take that feedback our feedback your comments compile that all into you know a file that they can review before the final tooling goes into production so I would say to reduce the length of the case because right now it's way too large and if they go the large route to have EA TX support motherboards to have potentially utilizing the space that is there because why why else have that space why go the really large case route if you are not being able to use anything so yeah let me know what you guys think and what type of feedback you'd love to give to beat Phoenix I'm Dimitri thanks much for watching and we'll see you in the next video
