welcome to Jay's two cents exclusive insider coverage of CES 2014 our trip this year is brought to you by aqua tuning your global source for PC modding and cooling components and why sennheiser the pursuit of perfect sound and of course by generous viewers like you so strapped in with j's two cents as he takes you on a wild ride through CES 2014 hey guys you're watching Jays two cents we're continuing our exclusive insider coverage here at CES 2014 I am with Jonathan here at the cooler master / CM storm booth and we've got some really cool products here we're gonna take a look at he's a product manager here and he's gonna tell us what's new this year for cooler master when it comes to some cases and some things so Jonathan go ahead and tell me what we're looking at okay thank you well this is something new for this year we're actually offering a lot of accessories for the half stacker system you've seen the half stacker last year but actually this year we're going to be offering a few accessories to actually make your life a little bit easier make you able to do a lot of new things I see a 915 side window that makes me very happy yes we'll have a full windowed side with panel available and we also have a stacker accessory kit including a storage kit the storage kit allows you to fully populate all your hard drives in your 915 and if you want to build expansions you can have as many hard drives you want awesome so it kind of fits the gap between if you bought a 915 f i believe it is that's a standalone if you want to add more hard drive cages in there you can do that so is it's just directly because of customer feedback that you're putting together this kit and in fact yes we've been active on the forums we've been active watching your videos and looking at your comments people want these kind of things they want to really expand their imagination yeah it's really important that you know manufacturers listed in to the customer feedback and that was definitely a big one was you know hard drive cages and accessories when it comes to I front input when it comes to the one that comes with the 935 that doesn't have the buttons on there going to a standalone system okay so what else are we looking at over here on this side this is something brand-new and you've never seen it before this is our half XE project what we've done is we take in a full tower and we shrunk it as small as possible what this has is that has a wraparound fully acrylic side window and this is one of the features that we'd like to keep on the inside you can see the full tower spec include the full ATX motherboard tray and that includes eight expansion slots for the people who like mine and video card yeah guys not just HDX is full ATX so you can go I mean look what kind of graphics card looks like we have plenty of length in there without it coming anywhere near the front of the case and if you take a closer look you can actually see in the front behind this beautiful 3d mesh that we're have right here we have three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator support yeah so front mount radiator support so you can bring a nice fresh air for your water cooling okay so what's on the back side of it here well on the back side you can see a little unique feature that we can actually rotate this chassis so if you like to have the traditional test bench style you can take off the top window and put all your graphics card and your motherboard from the top just like the half XP but if you like to save a little space you can use it in the tower mode just like it is right now right so no on the top what kind of support do we have up here for radiators and fans Oh glad you asked we actually have support for our new Neptune to 80s as well as the standard to 80 millimeter to 40 millimeter radiators awesome okay so when you're looking over here this tiny little guy so many people on my channel are really into small form factor I mean it seems like over the years we got bigger and bigger and bigger and now we're going back to the ITX and small form factor and people are really interested on what the options are now to keep it small but also powerful so what are we looking at well we're actually having a very successful series with elite 130 and 120 and people have always asked for something smaller we brought the elite 110 and compared to the 26 to 29 leaders of the elite 120 120 130 you're looking at 15 litre design and that's supporting the standard power supply a standard video card and water cooling that's important a lot of ITX cases make you compromise on either video card length or on your power supply length and the two in a combination you know obviously we can't put necessarily a full-length graphics card in here I mean but you can put ITX tile cards in there but the full-size power supply i think is what's really important because there's such limited market for short power supplies so ok so for cooling here what do we have what's in here right now oh well what you have a site in 120v which is a typical 120-millimeter style all-in-one water cooling radiator you have a aftermarket M ITX motherboard with large heatsink ram and you have a full height graphics card which supports 8.25 inches so you're looking at a very full amount I mean your top eight graphics cards available on the steam survey so right now there's a lot of companies that have started making short PCBs for this very reason there's no side panel here is this vented or a solid panel massage actually all vented with filters so you'll be able to have a filtered mesh the side panel is one assembly it comes off just like the elite 130 and 120 awesome what guys this has been coolermaster showing some brand new stuff here for CES 2014
