Corsair Vengeance C70 Gaming Computer Case Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-07-17
welcome to my unboxing of the Corsair Vengeance c70 I've received a lot of requests to do a video about this particular chassis and open so look at that there we go okay so it's a case it comes in a box supports up six hard drive okay go ahead but if the other side ah this is the military green color so this case does come in multiple colors and we are getting the rugged its coolest equipped us looking one with the military styling now there's plenty of military sort of themed components out there particularly on the motherboard side like uses Tough Series but we haven't really seen a case that's really like military theme so I'm kind of looking at motherboards like that going ok well that's like that's a cool if they're doing a complicated case mod but how does this address the needs of sort of Joe gamer who wants to you know throw his PC and something that looks like a Tamil box and go off to a LAN with it now we have something that makes sense the c70 which uses hard foam which doesn't thrill me but it arrived in one piece and it was airship as a single unit so probably fine based on based on that totally scientific test oh that's weird the plastic is on upside down alright it's kind of cool I was sort of expecting the military green-themed looking thing to be sort of cheesy but it's actually not that's that's not bad actually that's cool you just get this plastic off here and then we can start taking a closer look at this new cage from Corsair comes with a manual which you may or may not need I mean their cases are so easy to build in that it's rarely a factor so I'm not too worried about that so carrying em right here on the top let's test them shall we if the case had broken off I would have had a broken foot in this case would be getting a very poor review looks like we're good so you can see these are attached very securely six rivets and there's quite a lot of overlap in the metal here and the metal surrounding it these are just plastic here so there they're not cold they're reasonably comfortable to hold on and they snap into place by all the careful they don't find the catapult all right external impression so we've got dual 120 millimeter fan support in the top we have little rubber grommets which are going to keep the noise from being terrible some full support for the H 100 so the spacing is right for dual radiators which is a must these days any case that doesn't support a dual radiator and isn't like a silence oriented cases probably like not as great as cases that do 120 millimeter fan in the back water cooling holes in the back don't use these use an internal water cooling setup since it supports it just fine check this side one two three four five six seven eight PCI expansion slots bottom mounted power supply and IO shield that is a great color on this thing though I actually really like the paint color they've gone with here it's a very dark military green as opposed to being a little bit on the lighter side there's a fan filter that you can also easily remove and clean and there's actually another one from the front so Corsair has learned from their experience with the h-bar with the 800 D where it had that really long fan filter but by the time you like put it on the floor next to your wall you can't actually you know reach and get it out because it's so long so they've got an additional one from the front so that the length is only half in the in the back and incorrectly so I need to make sure I get that in there bottom feet are rubberized fede things that are going on here and oh let's see high up let's look at the front oh that's cool I haven't actually seen this yet so power switch this red switch that looks like that hard drive LED headphones microphone two USB 3.0 ports and the reset switch with a little cover there it's adorable that's so cool okay side window has a dual 120 or 140 millimeter mounting holes for case fans and you can decide what you want to do there won't be any radiator mounting here though which wouldn't make sense anyway hopefully you can see the can you see the color okay in the camera looks alright okay let's go ahead and take side panels off so these are like ammo box style side latches which again is a very nice touch okay inside Oh fully painted inside - look at that see great attention to detail even the parts that no one will ever see like these little folds here everything is totally painted very very nice coarser kudos to you on that one on the inside so we don't find anything all that surprising this is a fairly similar what he's apparently okay well these fell out and chipping but that's not the end of the world just go ahead and slide this back in nothing revolutionary in terms of the internal layout this is very similar to the shoot which one is this similar - reminds me of the 550d actually fools I'm like that yes very similar to the 550d although there are some differences so for example they've got two 120 millimeter cooling fans here in addition to space to mount additional 120 millimeter cooling fans in the front of the chaps you protect this out and I just pull off the front here at least we're gonna try and pull off the front you might have way to go slick that's why they call him slick slick okay Oh talk about that by blowing out the side panel we get a little bit of extra room for cable management on the other side both side panels no and I don't remember why I did that oh yeah right so I could remove the front oh here we go there we go so here on the front you can see we can mount an additional 2 by 120 millimeter fans between this removable grill and I'm not sure how to remove that but I'm sure there's a way seems to be an arrow but I really don't see how that helps us at all um whatever if there's a grill and two more 120 millimeter fan so what that means is you can have excellent airflow over your drive cages so you can actually have a push-pull configuration so even if you load this up with drives and it's very very restrictive to airflow you will have no problem actually forcing air through that and then towards your graphics cards or other expansion cards and making sure that they stay adequately cooled in terms of the internal layout it's what we've come to expect from Corsair huge cable management holes which are going to make your build extremely tidy looking lots of included fans so 2/3 120 millimeter fans are included with the case and then options to mount up to another 1 2 3 4 5 either 120 or 145 side panel six seven on the side panel that's a lot of fans so it's definitely cooling optimized your toolless optical drive cages actually look very straightforward so you just got a little latch here there's two little nubbins on the inside there that will latch into your dryer just slide it in and then if you want more security you can put additional screws in here or on the other side without any difficulty look at these cable management clips outstanding quartz air keeps coming up with new ways to impress me and I'm pretty sure it's me specifically that they're trying to impress with every new cases we release large CPU cut out large eight pin or a dual a pinion or eight plus four pin cut out large large kind of here for routing things like the 24 pin over here routing all these top ones see this is something that no one ever figures out is like all these top cables have to have a nice direct path down to the motherboard this is extremely tidy and lots of space so you've got like an inch of space back here wherever the motherboard tray has recessed a little bit plus that additional space from the side panel being bowed out as well I think that pretty much wraps it up so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Coursera c70 military-themed doo-doo-doo that's not really a military song-do there we go I didn't want to finish the video that you guys having a chance to look at it in all of its splendor again thank you for watching my unboxing and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for unboxings reviews and other computer videos
