the show coverage is possible thanks to Nvidia gigabytes antics and NCIX what's up guys this is Dimitri and I have found my favorite yet micro ATX case this is definitely going to be a new category for 2017 case awards but this is the n1 301 a much smaller version of the three or three that is a fantastic case actually saw this was an ITX enclosure in the beginning just based on this relative size comparison to something like the Nano ads or the Manta ITX but space efficiency inside the 3-1 is impressive to say the least all thanks to the power supply location at the top pretty much all the unique elements carry over from the bigger brother including an all illuminated front yoke panel this honeycomb ventilation design on the rear side panel and simply box this frame that does not look dated and pretty awesome stands for enough ventilation or actually enough elevation for air intake from the bottom there's a rear exhaust pin and four PCI brackets and I absolutely love the Thewlis tempered glass approach that said some simple hinges and it's super easy to remove inside a micro ATX board is installed below the power supply and I love how you can do full custom loop in this small space too with dual fan mounts at the bottom for intake that from the looks of it are properly offset from the board itself the front supports a 240 million radiator but since the front panel is totally solid that's where the upside ventilation comes into play but as you can see this is where all the cables are concentrated and I'm a little bit worried about choking those fans and be just you know affecting air flow in general and Drive bracket is located in front the power supply chamber that can house a three and a half inch drive plus an SSD right below it and I really like the unconventional layout with having a power supply chamber at the top instead of at the bottom and I really cannot wait to get this in for a full review also the pricing should be below what's in 1 3 or 3 cost which is about $90 so expect the 3-1 to be staying in this affordable price bracket maybe around like sixty nine to seventy nine dollars and two more things to mention from in win include a vertical GPU bracket that looks so awesome and we can finally showcase all those lighting zones that you can never see otherwise of course the limitation here is that you can only install a single GPU but from I can see it is well spaced out away from the motherboard and attaches directly to the PCI slot mounting and it has the flexible extension at the bottom that connects to the slot on your motherboard itself which I would assume is long enough so you can reach any slot on the motherboard and finally RGB fans that look very different from anything else we saw so instead of illuminating the sign blades for this consistent look that we see from many brands the blades on the in wing fans are actually a bit more reflective so the lighting is a little bit more flashy and these things can also be daisy chained together via these small connector cables that are sleeve and open up a lot of options for illumination across many systems and if they all connect to this lighting hub which is the size of an SSD which has PWM control that can be routed into your motherboard lighting control is available to the software but this physical remote is available which is so much more convenient it is a bit larger than I want but you can adjust the speed all the lighting effects brightness and some other cool functions and so that is this for our CES coverage making all so much for the amazing support our regular programming resumes this week and we'll see you in the next video
