hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX silverstone has always surprised us with something new every CES like this year they had a case ready for the new Intel mini STX standard which has the 5 by 5 inches and totally tiny all the Knux are quite interesting but the new STX form factor could really entice fun DIY projects and silverstone has got you covered also remember that headphone stand competition which was held by Linus well the second spot is what silverstone has decided to mass-produce and it's awesome it's full aluminium it's wall mountable and strikes the perfect balance of design and functionality and also on display we got to see their new budget mid-tower part of their redline series that to me is sort of a response to the NZXT s340 and the new fan tech speed 400 cases on the inside we have the bottom chamber which is totally sealed off and this is the feature that users have been really loving so much and we hope that silverstone modifies it a little bit so you can populate a radiator through the floor in case you need that extra high clearance as you can see the dual 140 members are fans that are included in our red LED are still really tight with the top 5 in the quarter in its drive bay and the bottom chamber floor at the back they've spread plenty of cable tie points all around the large CPU cutout and that's awesome to see and plus they've placed two SSD brackets on the side that I feel might be a little bit challenging to keep clean as all the cables as over the other cables will be concentrated around this area because this is the main entrance point into the interior from the back chamber we further have a duo three and a half inch drive bracket at the front which is a good location with an 80 moment of fan stashed away to help with driving some of the air in this chamber and overall the interior feels budget there are no rubber grommets anywhere the metal has been thinned out to keep the cost low and we are yet to see what the side panel will look like and what it would feel like but they are targeting that $69 price point and I personally cannot wait to bill inside the final retail case the are lo5 or the red line is 0-5 moving on to the power supply Department Silverstone keeps pushing forward with some awesome improvements let's kick things off with the new 650 watt sfx form factor power supply that features an 80 plus gold rating and a larger 92 millimeter fan which leads to quieter operation compared to a previous model with an 80 millimeter fan Silverstone still dominates the SFX arena as this would be an excellent choice for a mini ITX enthusiast PC without compromising on performance another awesome product that they launched is the new 850 watt Strider stamped with the 80 plus platinum rating this unit features a hundred and forty millimeter fan and the best part is that it shares the same form factor as the 750 watt power supply being only 150 millimetres in length so being able to squeeze all that power to an even smaller form factor is awesome news plus you still get the fully modular design and best-in-class power efficiency they also announced the revised and final version of the insanely powerful 1500 watt 80 + platinum rated PSU that measures at 180 millimeters in length which is ridiculous for so much power and it will be set to be on retail at the end of q1 seeing the physical size reduction of power supplies in each category is awesome without losing efficiency and maintaining all the same features as before
