what's up guys you wanna know a little fun fact I have 16 cases in this household that's a little bit insane and I'm only excited about the handful of those this is one of them it's the view 31 by thermaltake so it's already open I'm guessing customs had something to do with that see you finished with one case you gotta do another this is probably going to be the most satisfactory peel of my entire case history let's set it up goodbye cheap case alright all the lighting setup let's do the peel I think I have to take off the panel first let's feel the front so accessing the internals and removing the side panel requires a bit more work than usual so we have six screws two thumb screws and this little supporting piece that sits in the corner just to prevent this bent from you know receiving any damage or something like that so now that that's off let's finally do the main peel yep so the side panel curves at the top and that's acrylic because doing something like that with glass would be very expensive and inaccessible so I'm actually kind of happy that we have an acrylic version here and I'm really hoping this experimentation kicks off a new trend within the case industry because right now all the boxes are basically the same in terms of feature set so going with something a bit like more specialized like this forces you into a particular mindset for what type of build you want to do and I think that is definitely needed in today's case market so let's check out the view 37 right after this wondering how to fix a boring fan check out halos RGB there are super slim fan frames that light up your blades of any shade come on 120 and 140 member sizes to fit any fan and a control through your motherboard or your fan text case available in beautiful aluminum or simple plastic it's time to Halos your build outline what matters all right so this is the thermal take view 37 it comes in two variants the RGB Edition which is what I have here cost $169 it comes with three 140mm under RGB fans with a little hub for fan control and lighting control and we also have the standard edition which is a hundred and nine dollars so it is significantly cheaper and it only comes with two 120 100 blue LED fans and the rest of the frame is the same now the most interesting part of the case as you can see of course is that giant side panel that spans all the way from the left side to the top and so the view name here is fitting revealing all of your hardware not just from the side but from the top view as well now the curve looks nice there are no artifacts that I can see and no clouding either where the bend happens so their process of heating and cooling as the panel is bent is actually quite good but it is acrylic so it's super easy to scratch and I was still very careful and somehow already have many scratches all over also it is a complete dust magnet with even a tiny bit of illumination from the inside you can see the particle build-up the blackout perimeter helps with handling and the entire piece actually has better rigidity than some of the older metal panels now because the top of the case is basically missing structural rigidity is slightly compromised and there is some flex in the frame not really an issue but have your expectations in line and I would love for this trend to expand further into cases not just with flat temper glass or acrylic panels but a little bit more unique where the actual you know transparent pieces become part of the frame itself and with the view 37 the interior presentation becomes the biggest part of its identity to make up for the fairly bland exterior so here's the eye oh I like the symmetry but they've removed the RGB button that we saw at CES and instead we've get this fan controller hub for the three fans with which you control the speed the lighting modes and we also have this PCI bracket extension in case you cannot access the internal hub so it's a nice accessory but the connection cable plugs at the top so you need to manage additional cable work with this PCI bracket now the cool thing about this hub is that it's compatible with multiple of motherboard vendors RGB software so a SUSE MSI and gigabyte all work with Hubb so you don't necessarily need to use it but all the additional cables are included if you want to connect them into your motherboard and it's also why the RGB edition is more expensive because the fans have a proprietary connector so you need to plug them in into the hub for operation so in total we have three 140 mm fans to the front one in the rear with really good mounting options for more fans and the front but despite all the airflow complaints of last year the front panel is basically a complete choking point for the fans despite having some side ventilation and you can see the panel is not deep enough so this emphasis on making it look cool kind of backfires as the low temperatures severely suffer making it seven degrees Celsius hotter with the panel installed and I guess they expect users to accept a hotter system for a cleaner front panel now since the top fan mount is missing here the view 37 integrates an interior side mount which definitely has to be utilized otherwise airflow will be even worse so you have to remove the drive cage in order to fit the radiator for that side mount which is not really an issue since we have four there's no brackets behind the motherboard tray each can support doulas as these or a single three and a half inch drive but back to the side mount you can see it's not even properly open for airflow and these cutouts are here for your drives originally so Thermaltake needs to open it up a bit in the future revision and so this is what it looks like from the back it's a little bit hilarious how much of the radiator is blocked by the frame especially if you were to populate let's say an SSD or a hard drive in this one you know the top portion will be completely blocked and I had to remove the other drive caddy from here and they have to keep the cables also clear from this area so it's a little bit challenging and definitely not optimal for best airflow the side panel however takes into account the exhaust so ventilation is available that is covered with a magnetic dust filter and the only other filter here is at the bottom spending the entire floor of the case now I'm a bit surprised that no riser cable is included even for the more expensive RGB Edition given the vertical GPU bracket is installed by default on both cases and given its proximity to the side panel expect some extra heat unless you are were cooling and last day four completely open chassis the lack of a power supply shroud means you need an extra care for all your keyword work so the view 37 is attracting a particular builder who can admire his or her work only if they got the skills all right so I'm starting with kyo management and I am already frustrated so the case is pretty large and we have two rows of rubber grommets one for micro-atx one for ATX but look at this one two and three that's it three cable tie points on such a large enclosure how are you supposed to do kale management you know like what I just did here is actually putting these like my own little plastic clips that have a little adhesive bottom so that I can put a cable tie point otherwise how are you supposed to you know route these cables this is just the front IO cables by the way I haven't even started doing any anything from the power supply but we need at least six more you know not just in the center but around here at the bottom so that whatever you route to cables you'll have options to actually clean them too I will say that I appreciate the really long fan cables this way regardless of where you positioned the hub which by the way has a little adhesive that I will take off there we go so I actually attached myself to this section because otherwise you cannot even mount it anywhere else on the case like it wouldn't fit here because the the rubber grommets interferes so it's a I don't know it's not the best design and this is actually the only place where you can actually place it without it interfering with anything else around it so the long fan cables are appreciated because that way I can sort of you know the hub can be in its own place and the fan cable is not the limitation for me to reach it and also on topic of cable management I find it absolutely hilarious and actually kind of salting that Thermaltake only includes what is this for cable ties like what I have to you know go into my own stash where I've used already at least eight to just route the i/o cables so this is absolutely ridiculous but to put a positive spin so that I don't completely hate my experience with it is that you get to practice cable management kind of like freestyling you know as long as you have little clips that adhesive things and your own cable ties you know the entire enclosure here area allows you to channel certain cables and ways that you otherwise would normally not being able to do so let's resume the entire cable management work and here's the finished system I'm actually quite happy how it turned out to spice it up a little bit I used the cable mod extensions for the eight pin CPU cable and the GPU cable for those super clean curves and the transparent combs nicely collect individual wires and I've also installed the on one tube wraps for some extra texture otherwise the simple black cables and tubing are a little boring through the window and if you're interested check out Q mod in the description and I absolutely love the look of the side radiator mount especially you know if I had RGB fans in there the system will totally shine but I didn't because we already have two front RGB fans and there's a bit of this visual disconnect because they're not the same size and not on the same plane I do like my mixture of illumination for hardware so the fans spill a little bit of the lighting the RGB memory the the cooler pump thingy and they also have the RGB strip on the inside to give it a little bit of extra ambience and to highlight those components especially by the radiator section now the hub for lighting control is pretty good but I wish it had more fan profiles because right now we have the red one which is the low profile and let's go into blue it is significantly louder and it would be nice to have something in-between because that's the only way to control the fans you know you cannot connect them to anything else for fan control and so having slow or super high aka loud fan operation is not really ideal so we have eleven and a half inches of clearance for the GPU for 120 radiators and about 11 inches for 140 ones and as I've always said cases don't really need to be this large so while I appreciate thermaltake pushing these unique side panels I would love a smaller version with a shroud ventilated front panel and a more friendly design for cable management and I spent around three hours building my system majority of the time went into cable work and I was honestly expecting it slightly smoother assembly process and cable work because of the target audience but like I said earlier if you are looking for a challenge to view 37 may fit that purpose more Thermaltake really kind needs to refine it a bit more and I'm happy to see the progression from like the view 27 and earlier models now we have larger side panel for that visual attraction and you can definitely build a beautiful system inside here there's plenty of room but you know I was hoping for a little bit more refinement in terms of the frame design for the interior side radiator mount and the front panel opening to be less restrictive join the wireless club with Corsairs new dark core Mouse play the way you want with nine programmable buttons aligned in the comfortable shape and fantastic sensor you can trust and crazy good Wireless performance plus qi wireless charging built-in focus on the game the dark core will do the rest all right so that's all for me what are your thoughts on the you 37 and do you agree that this could be the next amazing trend within the case industry to like spice up the different visual aesthetics of different frames so like you know different shapes for side panels different materials not just acrylic but perhaps tempered glass and wood wood is a different conversation for you know it's eels and making sure there's consistency but still I definitely want to see a little bit more variety in terms of how these cases are visually delivered to the consumer visually delivered what I am definitely happy to see something different so let me know if you are -
