welcome to my msi interceptor series ravaged or unboxing this is a case from msi which is something that you might not be accustomed to seeing more along the lines of like motherboards and graphics cards and like even networking gear and stuff like that but never cases before so we see a few different features outlined on the front of the case one is super speed USB 3.2 lyst drive bay design solid-state drive support three year warranty advanced thermal design custom lacerated imprint so that's kind of like a cool like claw like effect going on over here protecting your vital gear I don't know about you guys but when it comes to my vital gear I would not put it anywhere near something called a Ravager just throwing that out there however I pretty sure what they mean is computer gear which is probably fun okay moving right along custom lacerated imprint and advanced thermal design includes two high-quality fans cable camouflage system so cable routing ok removable three and a half inch red big cages full size vga cards part up to three hundred and ten millimeters screwless easy snapping a hard drive tray okay to the out supports two and a half inch as well tool is five and a quarter water-cooling ready although this is very debatable i personally don't believe these grommets make it water cooling ready i'd rather see spacing for our natively mounted radiator extra spacing for cable management and pre-installed with 120 millimeter front blue LED fan with dust filter let's go ahead and open this bad boy shall we commenting breaking some seals cuz that's what we do hey soft foam as you guys may or may not know if you've been watching my channel for a little while I prefer soft foam to hard foam because it stands up against multiple impacts better than heart phone this is however quite thin soft foam in some places considering the size and weight of a fully load system but I guess I'm gonna have to compromise on this particular one alright there we have the rubbed raksha it looks not bad this looks better in person than it does in pictures i mean d ouch shocked me and I mean the the laceration like tattoo thing that they got going on here so this is a fairly high quality paint that they're using it's not something that's just like a sticker that's gonna come off this is painted right on it looks now actually what's kind of nice and not just the overall color scheme of the case so you can see the internals are using msi branded fans as well as blue pci slot covers a blue motherboard back plate as well as more tattoos over here on the other side and i got an interceptor series ravager this one looks like it's a sticker but it's no no it's not it's not Matt's actually painted right on there that looks really sharp we've got support for actually no let's finish with the tattoos and then we'll move on okay so last set of tattoos right here 35 and a quarter inch Bay's big old power button as well as an LED at the front we've got our intakes here at the front as well and let's move around to the rest of the outside so front USB 2.0 phone front USB 3.0 sets which and hard drive indicator LED we've got more fangirls up here we're going to open it up to find out exactly what's inside there on this side we've got support for up to 2 140 millimeter fans all of this spacing is also compatible with 2 120 millimeter fans on the back we find another 120 millimeter fan or a 92 millimeter fan whichever you prefer and 7 pci slots so this is going to fit standard ATX boards or micro ATX ports or mini ITX boards but not XL 80 exports to filter in takes on the bottom one of these your power supply one of these is for an additional 120 millimeter fan now let's go ahead and use the thumb screws here to open up the case well look at that they're not too tight from the factory a lot of the time these thumb screws are so tight at the factory that I can't get them off with my fingers and I have to actually use a screwdriver heaven forbid hey mr. Cruz driver in this day and age everything should be tulus actually no I'm not sure that I'm not much of a tool-less guy myself I prefer things that are securely mounted to things that are too low so if you can securely not something to lessly that's pretty good too not too much flex on the panel although this isn't exactly a premium case by any stretch of the imagination and the price tag would dictate that it's that it's not i mean when i say premium case i mean like it's not you know $300 case like a corsair 800d where my expectation would be that it's meal built out of tank armor but um Jeff moving on lips that filter came off go ahead and throw that filter back in there so these filters are basically just mounted with little little clips actually here you can have a look so they're mounted with little clips they're effective if not the most you know elegant possible solution but they're easy to clean not made of metal so they're not going to like rust or anything after you clean them I've actually run into that very recently that's why I brought it out like not impressed so here we are on the inside okay so here's our hard drive sled so you can see the two and a half inch mounting holes as well as the three and a half inch mounting holes so the three and a half inch our tool this however you will need tools for two and a half inch drives you can also see that these are completely removable groups hypothetical there you go these are completely removable and also to Lestat oh so not only could you mount a 310 millimeter graphics card you could mount like 400 plus millimeter graphics card and this also gives you away to install an additional 120 millimeter fan without too much muss or fuss so you can see there's one installed right there that's a blue LED fan can you see that he says so so okay well it's in there enough to trust me on this one and then there's another blue and black 120 millimeter fan at the back of the case this one with MSI branding so this guy doesn't come out this one's riveted in however you'll probably need at least a few hard drives at any rate so this is your optical drive mounting basically you just hums this work push oh cool there you go so they pop out or they pop in good stuff Wells is there to really say here let's have a look at the internal connectors so nothing really out of the ordinary here we've got power as well as USB 3 USB 2 and front HD audio we've got your usual internal connectors for you know your power switch your reset switched and your various LEDs that you're going to need I prefer if these are black but it's not the end of the world because you do have space for managing your cables so everything from your power supply it's going to come through this one and you'll be writing them out here here and here is where you're a pin or not yeah here too you could potentially put an 8-pin through there and wrote that to your motherboard depending on the positioning of the a pin you can also route a bunch of stuff up through here at the top let's have a look at the spacing in the top here so you can do up to 2 140 millimeter fans or 2 120 millimeter fans I would have preferred to see just straight to buy 120 with support for a radiator but it's not the end of the world one way or the other I didn't actually mention at any point during this video that this is a bottom mounted power supply you got rubber mounts right here so it's not going to scratch itself out on the bottom of the case and in terms on the room for routing cables behind actually that's not bad so we've got enough room back here to easily do a 24 pin cable without warping out the other side of the case from the back it doesn't really look like there's anything in particular going on I think that pretty much covers it other than checking out what's in here so hopefully there's like some bank I Messiah customer survival pack I guarantee I know who at msi came up with that idea and I know he's going to watch this video I'm looking at you your initials r RK and that is hilarious okay I also know who's responsible for these dog tags oh that's cool okay so it comes with some black zip ties happy to see long zip ties because how many times have you seen cases that come with those little short supplies like this but actually like aren't big enough to hold anything so these are handy you've also got ah yes they've built in lots of space to use them so these helped a lot when you're routing cables having all these little loops on the back of the motherboard tray allows you to keep everything flat and keep everything cabled really tightly whether it's data cables that you're running down here or power cables that you're running up to various places so that is what those included zip ties are for we also have Oh meat okay these are Hannity we also have a Phillips head to motherboard standoff adapter so you put the motherboard standoff in this side then you screw it in with a Phillips head to screw it into the back of the motherboard tray got a bunch of look at that nice little touches black screws love to see that very nice and it comes with a dog tag msi insists on the best I've actually quite nice very thick cool i'll put that with my other dog although this one is customized see this one's from nvidia gtx 590 squadron so now I have MS I insist on the best to go with that although the MSI one feels like higher quality this one's kind of cheesy so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the interceptor series ravager case from MSI don't forget to subscribe to
