what's up guys I'm doing tree welcome to deep cool where they're showcasing some affordable options and it's really good to see something like in the $40 range entering the market and it actually doesn't look half bad so let's check out the matrix mate Matt Matt ryx Matt matrix right after I think our sponsor thanks to fantex thermaltake and coolermaster for bringing us out here and making Computex possible are a good people now it's averse time Dimitri is not important but before we get to cases let's talk a bit about something else we noticed when arriving here I know that all in when liquid coolers are everywhere these days but deep pools and gamers storm division was showing off something slightly different this is the Newcastle series which comes in two forty and two eighty millimeter versions what caught our attention was the CPU block which uses double window panels and an RGB array to create a unique or a really unique look actually it looks pretty amazing in person and it's great to see the manufacturers are stepping up their AIO game with cool new offerings those addressable RGB s can create up to sixteen point seven million colors and 36 different lighting modes it isn't all about the looks either since the water blocks height hides a significant pure copper contact area and he shaped micro water Channel expect pricing for the castle to run from one hundred and ten dollars for the 120 millimeter version and one hundred thirty dollars for the two eighty millimeter version alright so I know that this 240 memory i/o might look a bit odd with that tube running from the blocks a base to the top but there's actually some interesting technology behind this one gamers Tom have integrated an automated pressure adjustment function into the captain's a 240 pro which is supposed to significantly increase its lifespan and also stabilize temperature fluctuations okay guys so now on to those cases which Dimitri talked about in the beginning they all make up the matrix series and deep pool has been able to leverage common construction elements to drastically reduce their overall cast they'll come in three forms a lower-priced 255 series 70 series and a 75 series there's nothing fancy here either especially since with the matrix 55 which is a capable bear most chassis and if you want to upgrade later there's always a 70 or 75 every one of these cases here has a simple sleek design with tempered glass and a thin addressable RGB strip those amazing looking defense won't be included in any of the models unfortunately but deep who does sell those separately so let's start with a smaller matrix 55 which is the most compact case in this lineup but it still natively supports 280 millimeter wide ei ticks on the boards and cost just fifty dollars in case you were wondering the smoke side and front panels are made out of tempered glass rather than the acrylic were used to seeing on such low price cases airflow is pretty good since perforations run on both sides and the front panel from top to bottom and there's also more enough space between the fans and the T G panel to ensure nothing gets blocked internally things are pretty plain but there is a removable drive caddy SSD brackets and support for a front at 360 millimeter and top to 80 mm or the radiator there are a few cable type points but don't expect things like a PSU shroud or other frills this case is functional and straightforward but it doesn't have many secondary features the matrix 70 bumped things up a bit but it also comes in at a higher price of $60 and that puts it into a very competitive market space there's still support for ATX motherboards and the 55 to 80 millimeter top radiator mount is replaced with a 360 millimeter version there are a few other additions like the space for a bit longer graphics cards more removal SSD brackets and an integrated fan controller finally we have the $90 matrix 75 and let's be honest with you I'm not quite sure how it'll fare against cases like the Lanco one which we also saw on the show of course is the most feature-rich case of the bunch but it keeps the overall aesthetics of the others the big difference here is that the front panel can be swapped with either a mesh filter or a tempered glass panel by pressing a button it's a really simple process but I really do think deep cool design e75 around the mesh option since there are no side ventilation holes like on the other matrix cases instead when you install the tempered glass the fan circulation is completely choked off and then the difference between this and the other cases is the latch system that holds the side panel to the case simply push the plastic latches and the entire thing can be removed at the top deep pool has added three plastic covers that close off the area in case you aren't using fans up there the interior here is very much identical to the 70 with the exception of one additional SSD bracket one more expansion slot and support for a bottom mounted 240 millimeter radiator if you use a shorter ATX PSU so that's it from gamers storm and deep cool guys it's certainly great to see more entries into the affordable case market and the addition of two interesting-looking coolers stay tuned for more coverage from Computex 2018 a kneebar with hardware connects thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
