hello guys we are back at it another hard-working locks both of you this time we're looking at the mid tower from lenku this is the pc k9 be the different versions are available one and silver the other in full black interior and one with a side panel window now line calls side branch of lien lee who stand behind quality aluminum cases and overall smart and practical designs the chassis itself is very simple but as you can see elegant sort of a breath of fresh air from the rest of the aggressive theme cases and exterior of this canine is the common brushed aluminum however as you will see the inside is made of steel the release date is 4 sep tember 2011 at around one hundred thirty dollars now the sizing of the Smith Tower seems to suit the criteria as the case is quite small but seems to handle everything we throw at it except internal water cooling the top of the canine is quite minimal only two USB 3 ports your audio reset and the power button and right below that is where your hard drive activity light is located the front panel has three optical base with a fan grill under which 240 millimeter fans are installed with what seems to be designed staple from Lian Li and land cool easily removable dust filters and the drive back covers can also be removed from the front without the need to remove the side panel and at the bottom case another removable dust filter is located right underneath the power supply the rear of canine features an exhaust fan I oh area water cooling holes 8 ventilated PCI expansion slots and the bottom mounted power supply alright so this is where the fun begins two or three optical drives have the stool of securing mechanism below which to hard drive cages are located and lentils incredibly easy tools design allow the users to be flexible with the mounting of either of the cages check this out we remove four thumb screws which are able to remove the top cage completely either to allow for better airflow or installation of longer video cards and by removing another three thumb screws you're able to rotate the entire heart drive cage assembly if you so desire once the hard drive is in place using four rubber grommets and screws raising the log buyer guarantees for a secure mount of your hard drive now each cage can house up to 2 2.5 inch drives and 3 3.5 inch drives as you can tell the CPU cutout is quite small it may not have full coverage for some motherboards but plenty of cutouts around the motherboard tray for rowdy new cables also another staple of land cool is this tulus pci card secure mechanism which works excellent in practice and holds just as good as with regular screws and finally the bottom the power supply is slightly raised and sits on two rubber strips to prevent any noise caused by vibration now in terms of GPU sizing capabilities with the hard drive cage removed cards in lengths of up to 16 point 3 inches are compatible otherwise only 11 point 2 inches is available for the maximum size for your GPU with the top cage installed taking a look at the back of the case a really convenient cable clamp allow us to run your cables in an organized matter without peeking into the interior it is plastic though so it would not hold too many stuffed cables but use it wisely to run smaller cables through it alright let's begin the assembly along the accessories you receive motherboard screws making it easier to secure your motherboard a retention bracket for your power supply which holds just as well as screws however we do recommend using screws if the case is in transport also the canine comes with a USB 3 2 USB to internal adapter in case you do not own a compatible motherboard one less you ran across while hooking up all the connectors is the 8-pin cpu power connector did not have enough clearance from the back but a quick solution was to remove two screws that hold the top panel lift it up pass the 8-pin connector and secure back the top panel now there's quite an inconvenient to do this and the whole plan tool doesn't make the same mistake in the future ok so fully assembled this is where the canine really shines having a little room to work with at the back cable management was surprisingly easy to do and the inside just shows the effectiveness of the cable clamp making the interior looking clean and tidy and as airflow is only limited to three fans it is crucial not to have any cable mess interfering with the inside cooling lamp poles PC canine be is one excellent case if you're looking for silent and moderate set up with an elegant side with a great tools designed all around making it a breeze and enjoy to work with beside the slight hiccup during the assembly with the 8-pin CPU connector and its compact size doesn't sacrifice on cable management and while having a very limited space on the back cleans up nicely with minimal effort and it also offers flexibility for the hard drive cages allowing the users to install longer video cards and to improve on the airflow which is quite limited to only three fans additional fan mountings at the top would have been perfect but as you saw the tail panel can be easily removed and replaced with the one that has spent support but that is sold separately overall the canine is very impressive in features but for some it may not be enough due to its limitations thank you guys for watching and we'll see you next one
