our 2015 Computex coverage is brought to you by fantex nvidia corsair and CI x silverstone and in win make sure to support them for helping us bring this great content to you on top of taipei 101 we met up with streak on the company behind the f12 see that was just announced and we really can't wait to review this bad boy this is what they're all about gorgeous aluminum case designs that tries to merge modern and elegant frames with a functional interior however in the suite they were showcasing a new project they're working on the db10 elegantly imprinted on the back of the case and the entire construction is four millimeter aluminum handling this case felt amazing this is that next-level build the symmetrical design allows the case to be elevated off the ground for both the power supply and the fan to take in fresh air with the top curved panel also spaced out with identical handles at the as at the bottom to allow exhaust to properly exit and becomes easier to handle the db10 if you like horizontal orientation is possible thanks to the symmetry Auto given the height of the frame you'd most likely keep this standing upright checking out the back the power supply is installed at the bottom the motherboard is rotated with the GPU closer to the top fan area with total of seven PCI slots looking inside it's an unusually narrow frame obviously with the height advantage and the first question I asked was how do you actually deal with all the cable management as there is no room behind the motherboard tray the back panel is your motherboard tray so for now this is a work in progress and your suggestions are always welcome but what I suggested is to have some type of low profile pre-made channels in the panel already to help you attach the exiting cables from the power supply to the side and further distribute those cables around the motherboard following the actual motherboard tray now I was most impressed with street comps innovative mounting method inside the frame so instead of using traditional cages for things everything is mounted on these aluminum strips and rails built into the case so here's a stack of hard drives that are held in using pressure with these lip clips that pin the brackets on one side and the bracket is inserted onto these little rails inside case on the other side they have incredibly secure hold reduce total material use and the brackets themselves a very diverse so here's how the three and a half inch drives are attached and there's room in between them to breathe here's another stack of drives SSDs this time on the same bracket and also there's a reservoir bracket right beside there and the bottom fan in the front the power supply is also installed the same way allowing you to be really modular in the way you set up your build and I think that's incredibly innovative and such a simple system with just brackets and the proper rail system built into the case the db10 will launch below 300 dollars and I think they're not really trying to target the enthusiast crowd per se but instead that niche crowd that appreciates the amazing craftsmanship of this case plus the joy of building inside something like this we would love to hear your input on this modular idea how would you set up a system inside the DB 10 and give us a like if you'd want us to review the case once it's released so thank you for watching our Coptics coverage make sure to check out the rest of it and we'll see you in the next one
