This Simple Streacom Case WON Computex!

2018-06-10
so we got a whole elevator of fans say hi fans we're on the way to street cone by the way and you got a nice low entourage - what's up good people I'm three tree and as always we come to you from Street come they always has something incredible so they do have a new ITX enclosure the DA - so let's check it out now but first a message from our sponsors thanks to thermal take cooler master and fantex for making this trip possible alright guys you know how much I love ITX enclosures and stre come with their da - is here to impress this is quite a popular sort of form factor with this beautiful aluminum construction you know nobody comes even close those three comes quality control and they're like elegance and this is something that I really appreciate plus with this new ITX design and revamped internals they're really trying to push this whole space optimization with like extremely modular elements to the next level so it is a pretty compact ITX enclosure with this beautiful bent aluminum shell if you love simplicity you would definitely appreciate the i/o which only has a power button that has an LED and they can also potentially put logos on the button as well and a single type C connection for the i/o they are thinking of a tempered glass option with this unique magnetic mount it's currently a work in progress but potentially put one on the sides light it up show show keys the hardware and even though we have this sort of closed look both the top and bottom are completely perforated and are covered with this dust filter and you remove it by flexing the filter and which is a cool approach because it means the enclosure can remain super elegant no there's no little brackets and clips necessary it is a totally toolless approach and I hope more companies take the note now the default side panels are completely perforated with the dust filter built in underneath and so the cool thing about these is how they are actually mounted onto the enclosure via press fit so you install the top section first and then you mount the bottom and the kind of like latches onto the frame again a completely tools procedure no additional clips required lovely now what streak on was doing on the intern is actually pretty clever they're thinking in this like cubular three-dimensional format and wanted a no compromise system so you can mount on ATX power supply or radiators up to 280 millimeters and GPU is up to 350 millimeters because of this new rail system which has been simplified with these captive square nuts on both sides and these new Universal brackets the top ones are slightly shorter but the sides ones are slightly longer to accommodate for your dimensions of the enclosure and so these brackets can be installed along the length of the case and the height of the case and each bracket can support you know one this is D or you combine two of them to create like a little rack of SSDs or hard drives or anything else that you might mount in there it's pretty clever and you know doesn't give you any limitations in terms of where you want to mount it aside from having clearance for the other hardware so for example if you mount an ATX power supply you have about 220 millimeters for the GPU clearance and up to a single 140 or 120 rad for the CPU cooling if you are installing a CPU tower you have a hundred and forty five millimeters of clearance for that we do have a rear 90 millimeter fan mount for a little additional either intake or exhaust and we have also have this power supply bracket for either SFX or ATX for storage you can mount three three and a half inch drives or eight two and a half inch drives on a single drive bracket which is pretty incredible and the modularity element doesn't stop there because you can actually invert or rotate the motherboard tray because the actual motherboard is mounted on those universal brackets that have the motherboard standoffs so you could rotate the rear panel of the frame to accommodate the motherboard being on the opposite side and it being inverted and so that is the da - I love how they've simplified those Universal brackets yet it still has that streak of DNA because that's that's what they're all about using brackets to mount any hardware for flexibility we also will have the db2 which is a completely passive case utilizing the exact same chassis but with giant basically heatsink panels on both sides so you can cool the CPU and the GPU on the db2 alright so that is the street comb da - or as we call it in this sweet da - but now let's go check out something another piece of really innovative engineering for your hardware the concept case that they call the canvas so we got to do a little bit of reveal okay so right now you can see just a piece of glass here we just have this plain canvas with a little cable sticking out but now if Mike if you come around we can reveal what this case is all about alright my friend so this is the canvas case it's still in early stages prototyping we definitely want to hear your feedback but from what we've just you know experienced here it is absolutely incredible so they're totally redesigning how you're assembling your enclosure not enclosure your hardware inside the case we're here everything is you know one by one it's individual pieces but the most unique thing here is everything attached via magnets so this giant black plate here is just a big magnet we have these little magnets attachments on all types of hardware so you can literally position your hardware components your motherboard the graphics card your hard drives your power supply your cooling your SSDs your cable management strips anywhere on this you know blank canvas thus the name I love it everybody is on camera right now so a few things to talk about are the actual magnetic points there will be different sizes there potentially thinking about expanding or adding more so you can have different height for the components when they are actually installed onto the canvas for example we have the SSD but if you want to have it slightly higher away from the motherboard you can add more and position it and so the modularity aspect of this canvas is just absolutely insane it's mind-boggling to think of how many cool things you can do with it simply because you have this you know in the entire space to work with these pieces are also going to be potentially expandable so if you are placing a piece of glass here you could expand it so you can have reader that does not interfere with the high clearance of these side pieces the glass piece will obviously will cover here it's the visual aesthetic you can mount this on top of your monitor not on top your monitor above your monitor so that you can have this entire system showcased this way you know because this magnetic middle section is magnetic from both sides you could potentially even spread out your hardware on two sides let's say having power supply on one side and having all these cables kind of wrap around the canvas which is such a cool idea or you can have a different system on that side altogether so the modularity like I said is completely just mind-boggling now theoretically each of these magnet points can support up to two kilograms of weight so in terms of your hardware and things like that it's not really an issue of supporting like really you know heavy power supplies or long radiators and because we have this large section you could do potentially cool water cooling builds and they're also thinking about doing smaller sizes something for a simple ATX motherboard and even ITX systems only where it's gonna be a lot smaller for here for this size they can fit eight ITX motherboard on one side which is insane imagine having like you know multiple power supplies on one side and have this really cool multi system plate filled with hardware that's amazing so the only thing they have to kind of figure out now is really perfect the design in terms of how to do your cable management because obviously you can mount your hardware motherboards anywhere else on here but how do you route the cables so that is kind of like the main concern right now and just making sure that you can do as much with these mounting points and little fan brackets that attach the power supply mount for example as much as possible so that you have literally no compromise when it comes to mounting anything on the canvas and so the idea and brainstorming can go on forever so let us know what you think of this concept and how would you perfect it so that when you potentially buy this thing you could get the perfect product and the last two logistic elements are this would be crowdfunded on IndieGoGo and they're thinking about 160 to 200 dollar price points and I think for something that's totally unique you know it's very inspirational when it comes to building your own PC I think that's a fair price point so we'll leave a link down where you can check out what this whole concept and the canvas is all about all right good people so that is the street come da to let us know what you think about it and then you can les concept the closure it is fantastic let us know if you agree make sure to check out this other relevant content and we'll see you next
