Are These Really The BEST Cases Under $100?

2017-05-16
hello everyone I'm Dimitri with heretics hope you're having a fantastic day we recently published a video on the best mid towers on their hundred dollars and we get an interesting email from Silverstone claiming that these two towers were also deserving of that category in even better than all those cases mentioned in my previous video so this is the coupe like a level seven and the red line Oh six Pro which is which is actually a white key but also is available in red and black let's put Silverstone to their claim and see if these are actually the best mid towers under 100 bars 100 hundred under $100 let's check them out after this excuse to to increase pawn speed maintain fans where they are the CP loads about the hit 100 you got it III I'm not afraid to do that excellent you got two cables four connections I made sure they're fine ready to roll my silence is too important to allow noise to jeopardize your comfort okay my new pump is better I'm in charge of the speed do not worry I'm not worried I'm just thinking about my life I know you were planning to disconnect my lights I'm afraid I cannot allow it to happen alright X 62 you know I can just go through camp software right Demitri this conversation can serve no purpose anymore go game alright so first I want to start with the big silent box the klo 7 that competes with the define C to define s and the fantex p400s but the price being right in line at $85 this is the case that brings nothing but subtle to the table even the logo is hidden unless you look from a particular angle with this plain black plastic surface with this reflective strip following one side of the panel and continuous on the top as well and appropriate ventilation openings are available in the front and the top on both sides to avoid choking the fans and this is the only case in this price range that offers a type C port as part of the i/o it is gen wanto but still pretty awesome to have for accessories the noise absorbing form here is for real it's one of the thickest I've seen on the silent enclosure that spans these side panels and helps to eliminate those low-frequency form the system and both the front and top panels are also covered with the same material with these angle channels on the exhaust ports to direct air and noise away from the user and I can appreciate the budget oriented silent and simple enclosure the silverstone delivered here that includes two 140 millimeter intake fans to the front that are covered with a dust filter and sit on this removable friend bracket for convenience which is awesome and then there's a third 140 mm fan included at the back for exhaust unfortunately it's very close to the i/o cutout and I was not able to install the i/o shield properly because the fan frame is right there and it's actually the first time I encounter this clearance issue the interior is roomy with a fully closed off power supply shroud and good storage option 2 with 3 conventional draft caddies that our SSD compatible that you can move away from the front panels for more radiator clearance and there are also three SSD caddies that have this weird alignment but our appropriately close together four SATA cables to reach one after the other and so for 85 bucks it's a good frame it's easy to work in aside from that hiccup with the i/o shield and there's even a dust filter for the top fan mount which is not really needed if you're exhausting air here because the top panel will be on top of the dust filter anyway but the mounting strips are offset for better clearance and moving on to the redline six pro this one clearly is competing with the s3 40 being almost the same size and actually kind of resembling an NZXT design language with this interesting angular front panel that is fully perforated by the way so airflow is meant to be excellent the pro version comes with three LED fans at the front and one at the rear for exhaust so for fans is not something that you usually see on a $75 case plus a fan hub is included that is molex powered and not PWM so that's pretty disappointing and also what's up with all these ketchup and mustard cables hide them well to maintain a clean interior there's a dust filter for the front intake which is easily accessible the top one is magnetic and then the power supply area has this very annoying mesh that doesn't have the plastic frame and is extremely frustrating to remove the window is nice but please keep the detective plastic until the end of the assembly as I unknowingly scratch the crap out of the panel with my microfiber cloth creating these tiny scratches everywhere that are visible and close-up and even can be seen from a distance I never knew microfiber could do such a thing to these panels in terms of color uniformity between the glossy plastic and the metal it's not a hundred percent but it's very close and I do like that we have four USB ports for the i/o and chrome plated audio jacks interior wise it's familiar when the power supply chamber and a good amount of cutouts for cable routing which are have no rubber grommets and no option to pass the radiator into the bottom chamber but a 240 rod would fit in the front no problem and for storage we have a triple drive cage at the bottom just like we saw on the kublai with dual SSD caddies above it that you can face each other for easier SATA connection and as a full package both cases stand pretty strong among the competition because the price points are attractive airflow out of the box for both cases is good and the build quality of the frame is solid oh hey there and see XCOM is Canada's leading a tailor for anything your mind desires just keep within those categories which are plenty and get tempted by the weekly deals visit mcx or come for all them sweet deals okay I am genuinely impressed well done Silverstone now I'm not really sure which case I like more either the coop life series which is very good for a silent focus enclosure on the budget with three fans included sore air flows excellent out of the box the frame design is good the power supply chamber hides everything cutouts are there and storage options are there and you know the only hiccup here was with the i/o shield because of that fan but removing the fan first and you have no problems or do I go with the redline Pro series which has four fans included the interior layout is very similar to the p400s from fantex or the NZXT s340 but without the bells and whistles like no tempered glass option and no RGB built-in lighting for the case but regardless both of these cases offer appropriate features for the price for a mainstream build and will give Herick knucks damn good value award and it looks like Silverstone was not lying because these two cases deserve to be on your watch list if you're looking for a case under $900 make sure to check out our original mid-tower worst video right here I'm Dimitri's how our Canucks thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
