Phanteks Enthoo ELITE - NEW $699 Enthusiast Case!

2016-05-30
so everytime fantex shows off anything new at Computex CES or any anything else we're always very impressed and today is no different if you love what you see from the show Nvidia fantex NCIX and MS I made this complex possible so there are a couple of updates with their already established cases the n2 premium DS which stands for dual system will receive a micro ATX support so it will feature a full ATX support and a micro ATX system and there's dual systems which is pretty incredible and a new bracket that allows you to flip your GPU with a vertical ECI bracket extender that allows the graphics cards to be facing you and not be sort of installed the standard way inside the motherboard it's a very cool way to show off your graphics card and also allow you to install a full sized graphics card for the bottom chamber where the micro ATX board is since there is not enough width for the GPU to be sort of in its default position the next three upgrades come with the m2 Pro M which is a nice budget mid-tower very enjoyable experience and now it has received the tempered glass treatment and is going to be a slight premium so it's going to be a $99 price point with one tempered glass side panel the second update would be the m2 evolved tempered glass Edition the evolved ATX that is and you guys haven't seen it make sure to check out our video on that and the last one is the envelopes which receives a new color which is this grey very sparkly awesome aluminum looking color and a tempered glass side panel for only one side while the other side is solid but you guys are all here for this very unique new case which was originally named the project 916 back at CES but we have a full name for that one and that is defend x + 2 elite so the cool thing about the elite is that fan techs are not kidding when they're trying to really provide the enthusiast community with absolutely everything that we need inside the enclosure that accommodates for water cooling modular aspects of things not wasting any space having support for multiple systems inside a single chassis while utilizing every single inch of that enclosure to its full potential no space wasted dust filters everywhere tons of water cooling support with fans beautiful construction so all premium premium materials with four millimeter aluminum tempered glass side panels that swivel to open which is so awesome there is very very clever interior design so there's three chambers so there's the main chamber there's the bottom chamber and then there is the sort of the rear chamber for all your cable management and all that is so well designed so you can have multiple radiators installed inside the system five sixty millimeter radiator at the front with a little removable piece at the front there so that I can accommodate four radiators you can install multiple raters in the bottom chamber while also supporting things at the top and then when looking at the back it also features this new vertical PCI treatment so you can install your graphics cards in the vertical position with these PCI brackets without modern required all of that will be included with the case which is so cool because they've seen that modders love the positioning of the GPUs in its vertical position art of all these premium features come plenty more so for example at the front IO which includes bunch of things like color support little wheel that you can play press to cycle between different modes or you can rotate the wheel to cycle between different colors and there's a type C port which is awesome but one cool thing is the HDMI pass-through so that is awesome because with VR world and VR compatible graphics cards making way into the market especially with graphics cards like EVGA and you know 980ti VR Edition and most likely 1080p 1080p are additions as well you will be able to route an HDMI directly from the graphics card so you don't have to sort of worry about reaching behind the computer to connect stuff you have an HDMI port right at the front another cool feature with the end to elite is the little grommeted cut out behind the rear side panel so that would allow you to route led system that will be connected to the case or perhaps to your motherboard to whatever area around you area basically to light up your scene exactly the same way as you would with the case so that you have consistency in lighting all controlled through a single tap of a button so the fan techs and to elite is supposed to be priced at $6.99 which is in my opinion totally justifiable and not just saying this because fan tix is our sponsor and you know we're totally transparent about that one really cool aspect is that we have all these different panels that supports like five and a quarter inch drive base that we'll be able to install on the interior so for those who require like a fan controller to be installed inside but don't want to compromise on that beautiful front solid finish there you go you can have a five in the quarter inch drive bay on the interior and it also comes with multiple brackets for micro ATX system if you want to install that in the bottom and one of the coolest features I find is that you see those drives inside so that says these are rotated in the correct position which is awesome and the SSDs are sitting on it's like a hard drive tray that will support two and a half and three and a half inch drives but it is removable so that you can route cables easier so it is actually acting as a sort of a cable hider and supposed to organize things and removing that all a different bracket that will support a radiator or fans and that will blow air through the backside panel which has a low removable piece with a fan filter and so you can have instead of having drives there you can have a radiator in that position blowing air through the back of the case and to wrap up everything with the elite it looks like a fantastic enclosure and especially because it carries that fantex character you can clearly tell this has been inspired by the end to primo a lot of the features have been carried over like the beautiful curve at the very bottom it's like one one piece which I find really really interesting and I can't wait to see what the enthusiasts community can do to fully utilize what the case has to offer but guys this has been the update within the case category from fantex I hope you enjoyed we'll see you in next video
