Did ASUS Create the ULTIMATE Gaming Case?

2018-06-06
hey guys I'm retreating I recognize we got another case this is the ROG Strix but before we talk about that huge thanks to thermaltake cool master and fantex for making compiex possible all right guys so let's talk about the ROG Strix enclosure so this is 60% complete on the exterior and the interior is very much finished because it's it's a collaboration between asus and in win the interior is based on the 915 case so make sure to check out our video about it here but the exterior is based on the Asus sort of chassis design they're their core functionality and they've really stuck all the types of things onto the exterior and we want your feedback so they this is like I said it's only a prototype 60% finished so let's go one by one to see what type of elements you want to see on the final product so starting with the front we have an aluminum plating here it looks quite elegant very towering effect and this like the front section is kind of reserved to the back creating this little spacing I don't mind this effect but the material for the top is not consistent so if this is aluminum this is aluminum but this is brushed aluminum this is sandblasted I mean where is the consistency so the front panel here is aluminum there are two versions there's also the glass one I do like how they've punched through it so that we have a little bit this unique text going on ah well well well look who it is I didn't meet you hi I just want to ruin your video really quick I know I was I was wondering if that was like a fan or you just like super excited by the case oh definitely not a fan Kyle everybody now I do like this laser edge design over here you can see a little bit of that Republic of gamers text we haven't seen much of that stuff going on here Haber I wanted Buster got my light so yeah Oh oh my goodness he just like rammed into a person and lost his battery Bieber look what you're going man she says all right back to work laser range stuff let us know what you think about it unique design you can see the lighting to seep through we can see the dust filter in there as well so they tell us they're experimenting with airflow options in terms of how much spacing they would need I would say we definitely need more spacing there now coming to the tempered glass side panel so here it is removable with a button from the back I like this too let's approach we have this headphone clip that you can attach to the top of the case I do like it because it is removable it is low profile but in terms of this glass design what do you guys think about this sort of like a line design on the glass I think it's good in moderation you know here I think they just went all out to see what people would like and what would stick here maybe a little bit of that but not as much as it is on here so let us know what you think about that now as for the top design if you guys recall the tough enclosure which has the handles this is kind of the continuation of that direction but here it's a single strap that cups around and it's a kind of a unique design because it's not necessarily it doesn't look like handles it feels like it's part of the enclosure but obviously it has that dual functionality of being able to carry the case and it actually looks pretty sweet now for the now for that now for the yo now for the yo-yo it's at the top here so a bunch of USB type-c obviously that's kind of expected they probably will have a button to change the color cycling effects because this whole thing is just loaded with addressable RGB things there's actually a hub on the interior so that will be connected to the motherboard and you have that full control through physical buttons and through software so coming inside as you can see there's a lot of things going on here but this is just a prototype so it they will change things around I'm sure not everything will stick so a few things that I do like I like this cutout for the power supply shroud that has a glass piece so you can see what's inside this is their Thor power supply so you can actually see the waters in it it is RGB so it definitely works too you know with this enclosure the RG Strix over here I like the direction but maybe it's might not fit when there's additional text written on both the top in the front at the bottom so I mean there's also the Asus chassis design this it's a little too much for my personal taste but let us know in the comments of what you would keep in terms of all these visual elements alright so coming inside for the specifications over here obviously ATX motherboards are supported the 915 inland chassis can accommodate anything enthusiast related but the good thing about the the ROG Strix enclosure is going to be much cheaper because it is not based on aluminum like you have on the 915 this is all steel with some aluminium and glass accents so the price point will definitely be cheaper now cooling capacity obviously a 360 at the top and the front I do like how spaced out this whole section is but you will have to remove additional panels in order to access it so that could be a little bit of a compromise in terms of the user assembly but of course this isn't totally finished and we'll just have to wait and see of what type of design they stick with for the final release but the one thing is what would you guys like to see on the interior that is different that is potentially user friendly to you if you were to go with something this large potentially go for water cooling systems multi-gpu configurations vertical GPU brackets you know what type of things that you want to see more of for a company that has not released the case in 10 years so the ROG Strix as an enclosure is an exciting development for assist you enter that market because I think we need more that use the unique stuff but that is obviously only going to be possible with your feedback and support and lastly the rear side panel is also glass so obviously we have this like dual tempered glass aluminum elements glass on the interior I definitely love this low power supply exposure going on but yeah this is the ROG Strix you know little prototype enclosure that we've seen here let us know what you think of it make sure to subscribe and check out this other relevant content and we'll see you Vidia
