welcome to my unboxing and first look at the azza genesis 9000 and this font is illegible this could be a P or a D this could be a Q and these could all be used so this could be like the Jetta says Q it's really too bad they didn't call it the 9001 because then it could be over 9000 and everyone would love that of course okay so let's move right along then our ATX this is a little bit different reversible ATX the ATX motherboard can be rotated 180 degrees so we're going to show you that once we open it up vertical air vertical airflow designed to provide maximum cooling performance heat does naturally rise although I think they've okay yeah no maybe the color coding is correct so the heat goes like this up through the case as opposed to through the front and out the back like a standard ATX design dual PSU compatible you can install power supply either in the front or the back of the bottom of the case easy swap drives up to a 480 millimeter radiator is supported which is very cool so you can put a quadrat in here no problem screwless drive locks to easy swap trays for easy to listen solution without removing the side panel to 120 millimeter fans at the side to provide excellent cooling for the hard drives vertical air we've talked about this a - 140 s at the bottom - taking cool air look at this they actually put the patent number right on the box about how the power supply can either be at the front or the rear supports up to 400 millimeter graphics cards that looks like a s60 990 in there so that's about as long as it gets these days reversible motherboard tray 2 by 230 top fan supports water cooling radiators up to 480 millimeters so let's go through the specs on the outside of the box really quickly before we open this up I did XL ATX the ATX full ATX micro ATX you know what I think most of this can be covered once we open er up so so let's talk packing material it's using a hard foam rather than a soft foam which isn't my favorite however they are using a double corrugated box which is good and they are using like two inches of packing material on the corners with more than an inch on the top and the bottom so what that means is it's extremely durable however in the event that it did break maybe it's loaded up with a 480 ml rad and all this other hardware then the structural integrity would be gone however ours arrived okay so take from that what you will now I criticize the phone but there comes a point where you actually make it like rigid enough that it probably actually wouldn't break like check this out okay broke but that's what it took so trust me it's strong moving right along to the Genesis 9000 this is the white version there's actually a black version as well so the white version is white and blue and the black version is black and red now there's a lot of stuff about this thing that we have to cover just on the outside alone so why don't we start at the front because that seems like a natural place to start so we've got a couple thumb screws here this is going to give you access if you have a screwdriver which I will go get now to the front power supply mounting option and then from the back there will be an additional rear power supply mounting option and right now honestly I am just so stalling for time while I go find the screwdriver alright so let's open this bad boy up and let's find an appropriate sized Phillips head there we go all year powertools wow those are some beastly thumbscrews we got going on here they are very serious about this staying in place so let's see okay cool this apparently came out so there you go there's your standard ATX power supply mounting as well as a built-in cable so that you can easily pull out the power supply in without without any interference there so it would be exhausting from the front of the case through the mesh here and then you can also see I yes this is good you can see from the front how the air flow structure in this case actually works because there's a filter here right there and you can see that all the air pretty much comes up through the bottom of the case using these vents along the side right here so that's why it's raised a couple of inches off the ground so that it's actually going to have access to air from there which isn't to say that you can't get any air flow going from the front because you got nine five and a quarter inch bays that are all mesh and all filtered and are easily removable just like that and then you've got perforated panels behind them although you could completely remove those anyway alright let's move along to the top so up here got a couple different things you got your power and your reset you got a fan LED switch I love these because that way you can keep your fans on but actually not have the computer be bright you've got your power as well as harddrive indicator LEDs eSATA 2 USB 2 front audio and 2 USB 3 ports so that's pretty much all the port's that you could need now I would have liked to see a slightly less restrictive grille on the top so you can see that there's ventilation holes here this is where that quadruple radiator is going to go if you so desire and let's just go ahead and remove this so we'll show you guys the whole process of taking this apart again we've got some serious business thumbscrews going on here and I just got to do two more all right they have done a lot of custom stuff for this case though I can say that much I mean this is this is not this is not your standard cookie cutter om case going on here alright so there's the LED strips up at the top remember they're red on the black version here is where all the fans are plugged into the integrated fan LED controller doodad right there look like there's an actual fan control top which is kind of a shame that would be a that would be kind of perfect actually here's those dual 160 millimeter fans at the top and you can see that there's lots of other fan holes lots of other mounting options for up to that quadruple 120 millimeter radiator and for 103 millimeter fans that you can install at the top of the case since we're at the back you can see that the motherboard tray is an inverted ATX right now this handle right here is for the removable motherboard tray however that can be rotated 180 degrees should you see fit now personally I'm not a huge advocate of the whole removable motherboard tray thing because I find it to be more of an impediment to cable management than a convenience factor for me however if it has a useful purpose such as allowing me to rotate the motherboard tray and build my system the way I want to build it then we're having a different conversation and to figure out how this comes off off camera at any rate there's the other power supply mounting hole here is the pass-through for that front power supply so you would actually plug in two power cords if you had dual power supplies which makes sense there's your 120 millimeter back cooling fan which you could use for an additional 120 mil rad and there you got nine PCI expansion slots for XL ATX compatibility with even some of the biggest boards that I've seen on this side you've got two 120 millimeter fans for your drives and on this side wow you have room for two 120 millimeter fans for your drys you've also got a what looks like sort of a filtered mesh but it's actually just two different kinds of mesh layered on top of each other as well as a small window so let's go ahead and get this baby opened up so we do have to remove the handle from the back in order to pull the motherboard tray out which is sort of an oddity to me but there's also a few more thumb screws here that need to be removed before we can remove the motherboard tray so we're going to take these out and we'll show you the internals before we flip it around so okay we took this sorry we took this side panel off off-camera so the side panel looks to be reversible because see the holes are in exactly the same place on the other side this is the same this is the same so you should in theory be able to switch them to either side that you prefer hence the reason that both of them have those cutouts for the 120-millimeter fans also you can tell from the way it bulges and the way that the five and a quarter inch base here are recessed a little bit that you would have no difficulty installing your standard 25 millimeter 120mm fans on the side here so there yes it's free now so let's go ahead and turn it around here we go this is a beastly case it's really big I mean it's not big like cosmos too big which was sort of ludicrous but it's big like this is a really big case big and look at all these screws we've removed from it just to like open it okay so on the inside here we find two 120mm fans pre-installed we find the others don't worry there's like a plastic coating on this protecting it so it's actually a lot more see-through than it first appeared to be and this is the like dual layer mesh I'm talking about where this looks like fan filter and the other layer looks like mess so you could probably remove it if you wanted to if you wanted to see through it a little bit better which I personally would be down for it and now we are finally inside the beast so few things here there are all of the tool is five and a quarter inch bays some of which as you can see have been converted to three and a half inch bays so we're going to have to have a look from the front and see how exactly that works so let's say starting about here and let's go ahead and remove these okay so some of these are to lists and look like they go in on Rails to a backplane however I don't see an oh yes aha so you do have to do that okay so there it comes with five of these so you can mount a three and a half inch drive a two and a half inch drive or a five and a quarter inch drive and then slide it in on the included rails and it to lessly goes it now you can actually screw it in there are screw holes and you can reposition these backplane doodads should you see fit so these guys right here sorry guys we're having some microphone issues today so these are movable anywhere where there are mounting holes for them so you can make your hotspot bays wherever you see fit now these are good for three and a half inch to a half inch devices it has five and a quarter inch holes but because it'll sort of change the spacing a little bit you wouldn't actually be able to install a five and a quarter inch of ice in it and they're not threaded so we don't think you could actually screw something into it although it could be like self tapping screws or something hi Denny right we're gonna go ahead and slide this back in just to show you guys sorry I got my head totally under way here but just show you guys how the tool is drive enclosure device works so you just pull that to pull it out and then it's all good in the hood okay moving right along this right here appears to be graphics card support of some sort it's not the kind of thing I would typically use so I'm not going to go too far into it most of the time the encounters I've had with these support structures is that they're probably not something that you actually want to use however some people like them so you can see actually goes in this way that's where that extra screw we found was from so that must have fallen out which I don't know if that would be related to the packing materials or anything like that but at any rate that's how it goes in so let's just kind of put that in so you can visualize this what that does is it supports the cards you can move them around wherever you want so you can give the cards as much or as little support as you want you just loosen this with a screwdriver not with your hands and then remember guys the motherboard tray is kind of upside down here so you have to bear that in mind while you're while you're visualizing so there you go we got around wherever you want and there is a piece on the back that makes sure that the screw doesn't just sort of randomly fall out at any given time and keeps it in place and we'll be back in a second here guys which brings us to why I usually don't use these I find they're just sort of a little bit more trouble than they're then they're worth for me okay so the rest of the internal layout is pretty straightforward you got your cable management holes for your power supplies which can be located okay let's go ahead and turn this back around so that you guys can see so power supplies can be here or here and based on with the positioning of these fans I would probably recommend putting it in the front in the stock configuration however if you turn this around then we might be having a bit of a different conversation and then in terms of cable management space there is lots of the back so you can see they've done some of the cable management for you already with some of the fans as well as the front panel connectors but there's ample room back here for things like your 24-pin connector anything going up to your drives I wish this sort of had some testers at some point but that's not the end of the world either here you've got lots of cable management holes as well you got this one for your 8 pin or 8 pins or 4 pin plus a pin or whatever it is that your motherboard happens to use and now for the most exciting moment of all ah yes the reason I don't really like removable other word trays because when you cable manage anything you usually use the motherboard tray so I'm going to go ahead and remove these and then we'll show you mother portray and we're ready now oh I thought we were ready yeah I got this uh-huh I hope I don't have to remove these there we go all right we are rolling now okay so how simple is it to change the orientation of your motherboard all you got to do is take this whole structure right here and then slide it in this way okay it's just fully reversible case and a lot oh I see it and there we go so now it is using a standard right-side-up motherboard tray you can still do the front mounted power supply nothing really changes it's just a matter of how you want your computer setup so in summary bottom-to-top airflow 180 degree flippable motherboard tray you got the supports for your graphics cards should you see fit you got your hot swaps you got your uh yeah there's a couple more three and a half inch or a five and a quarter I don't know what these are for they're going to put a power supply there anyway so don't worry about it so you got five three and a half inch or two and a half inch bays four or five and a quarter inch bays by default I say five because when I meant to say was six and XL ATX compatible basically you got everything this is kind of like the Swiss Army knife of cases because you can fit absolutely anything in it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the azza genesis 9000 not over 9000 exactly 9000 and don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from our boxing's reviews and other computer videos we should clarify a point about the handle we were wrong the handle actually doesn't have to have the screws removed in order to take the motherboard tray out so so it is it's fine also here we are putting the packing materials back on the case you know what it should still actually kind of be okay once we put it back in the box so how that goes
