BitFenix: NEW Prodigy M (mATX case), NEW Flo headphones - Computex 2013

2013-06-11
so hey guys we're here the beat Phoenix booth here at computex 2013 one of the cool additions is the prodigy em now it takes the same concept and it looks very much like the prodigy because it basically is it slightly larger version and the M stands for micro ATX now we know that the major issues with the prodigy the original prodigy was that it was only a mini ITX case so a lot of people wanted that microwaves capability and so that's exactly what we have here this is the back let's start from the front what's cool thing about this is that it has a micro ATX support now the motherboard is installed in the back train instead of in its on its horizontal position in terms of airflow options included fans aren't known yet but let's first take a lot of the what-what thin options are available so dual want 120mm fans for exhaust at the top we have also a bottom intake fan can support 182 30 or dual 120 millimetres at the bottom so pretty good options for airflow coming sort of going through the entire case again we also have an exhaust 120 a month 40 we have power supply that attaches sitting like this all the wires going out in the back let's check out the back what we have for cable management one cool thing is i like is that there's plenty of space for any of any of your cables so power supply will be sticking out here all the cables are going to be routed this way the 8-pin cable will have to be routed slightly tighter through some of these holes because the motherboard is rotated so your 8 pin is actually here at the bottom as you can see like this so one cool thing about this case is that your graphics card is going to be positioned at the top so you can utilize the additional fans which i'll be at the top to cool the graphics card pretty good at the front we have mesh front cover so we are not sure yet but there may be a fan options available for the front and be nice to have that sort of air flow as well in there as well it has a built-in dust filter same thing for the top which is the top cover easily removable for to clean all your fans and again keeping up with the same design as the prodigy has these same handles which are flexible so a you know absorbs vibrations and very sturdy looking case from beat Phoenix now it comes to the storage options we have three hard drives that can be installed at the bottom of the case so they're attached actually instead of the fans here so you are losing out on the bottom intake if you are looking to put hard drives in there but we can also install three SSDs two of which will be installed on the side panel which has been kept from the original prodigy but also another one can be installed in the back of the motherboard right here also one more 3.5 inch drive can be installed this way so with all your cabling sort of sticking out here so overall pretty decent storage options for the prodigy m and so a last thing is the dust filter for the for the bottom intake there we go it is magnetic very nicely just attaches to the bottom of course it will be rendered useless if you are using the the bottom space to store your hard drives now let's go check out some of other things that they introduce it here at computex 2013 so continuing with beat Phoenix they've just announced these new headphones / headset this is the flow so beat Phoenix they actually very flexible is impressive but beat Phoenix known as the sort of the case manufacturer giving us a lot of cases why did they choose why did you guys decide to head into the headset direction we've gotten a lot of requests for headphones from because we've done a lot of cases and now people are saying oh you're pretty good for a gaming company well we're not really a gaming company but you know we can actually start doing something for the gaming community because you know there's a lot of gaming headphones out there and there needs to be a little bit of difference right so one thing they're very flexible you have different color varieties so you guys are known to that for prodigy a lot of a lot of colors that's what you're going for here the actual finish on the plastic bits has the Big Finish soft edge coating actually feels very comfortable to the to the hand the headset itself is very light now talk about with the sound quality and sort of what's the use right right so we work with a sound vendor now a lot of headphones they have very deep bass for your games explosions gun sounds but once you take it off and play music on it it sounds very distorted and what we approached with this is you can still have a base from the games and you can still listen to music with a natural with a more natural sound call it right it looks like you can also connect the microphone over here because it's a headset / headphone so this is a black iphone mike but each color will have their own color coordinated headphone microphone okay this is like a boom mic and you got lady gaga of course this is your favorite color right my favorite color you know you should check out my facebook profile picture yeah also the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack is actually removable very cool thing I do like to see that just in case because the cables do get tend to wear out over time so a very good thing to replace them yes and we've got sound and motion that covered the sound part now the motion part this part actually connect to the back of your pc and then we've got this part which sits on your desk and whenever you need to leave the house because you want to go out and listen to your music you just disconnect this and this stays on the headphone and yeah very portable right so what's the expected release price and when there they'll be available in canada we're still finalizing the price and release date will be sometime in August alright this has been Jackie Lee from meet fittings new headset the flow will be available in August August so thanks guys for watching stay tuned for more
