alright guys welcome to the fan tech suite where we're checking out the enthu evolved ATX in anthracite gray anthrocytes apparently some coal thing anyways thanks to msi for bringing us here this year if you want to see all the stuff they're releasing at Computex check their bitly link in the description down below also thank you to linda.com sewing at the front of the case you have an extremely industrialized look and behind this little panel which on the release unit will actually stick up there it's just this is a pre-production model so it is a little bit floppy you have dual USB 3.0 microphone headphone and a reset button which is ringed in an LED that shows hard drive activity and down in the lower part of the panel you have a just solid white LED the power button is actually up on the top which is removable but is screwed in by standard it doesn't just pop off like again some of their previous models but if you want to get into the top in a different way if you just open the side panel you can then remove two screws on the main compartment side panel and three screws on the back and then you can actually just slide out where you'd mount those fans and radiator if you noticed the door isn't actually screwed on so it just has some kind of pressure clamps near the front which hold it in which you pop out or pop in respectively and then the hinges on the back can either be unscrewed or you can just lift the door up off the hinges if you do want to remove it out of the way although I expect most of you guys will just open the door because that's quite easy for the radiator in the front you can have fans on the on the more forward side of the grill and that they will stay out of the way you can actually raise or lower those depending on what compartment you want to cool but I'll get to that in a moment if you want a bigger radiator you can take this plate out now this plate you can normally install a pump they have they have cutouts for installing a pump there but if you want a taller radiator you can install the radiator there take the plate out and then install the pump down in the lower compartment which is probably what I want to do anyways the as you can see there's a bunch of fantex plates just to the kind of left of where those fans are and that is where you would actually install additional hard drives there's two standard hard drive mounts for three-and-a-half inch drives in the bottom but you can install up to three more because of the sleds that you have by default or up to one two three four five more if you want to buy additional sleds now back to that basement cover you have an SSD drive kind of holding spot if you want to show it off through the window on the front right-hand side and there's a cable management hole done for that and you also have two more two and a half inch drives locations behind the motherboard now you might have noticed there wasn't a sled for the one that's in the front of the case that's because they give you two sleds by default so you can decide to have two in the back behind them on the board or one behind the motherboard and one in the front or however you want but to be honest I usually just install SSDs with tape or nothing anyways so you can pretty much install as many SSDs you want in this case and the another thing about the basement is that there's a cutout for the power supply a lot of basements end up completely covering the power supply which is nice because you hide the cables but not nice because you don't get to see the cool branding of your badass power supply so now you'll actually be able to see through the window and see what power supply you own right next to those hard drive mounts are is also a place to mount a reservoir and there's another reservoir mounting space just beside where you would mount any additional add-in cards that you might have above that reservoir mounting spot there's another 140 millimeter fan by default which again you can slide up and down so if you if you need to be a little bit higher because you have an air cooler for your CPU and you want it to all be inline then that's cool if you want to be lower because you want to install a big freakin rad up there and it goes that far back for whatever reason then that's also cool no problem big massive CPU cut out and a bunch of grommets on the right hand side of the motherboard and above the motherboard with two cutouts without grommets above the motherboard and three cutouts without grommets just below the motherboard for your like headers or whatever else you might have installed there before we go behind the motherboard tray I would also like to point out the bottom of the case which also has a filter in it there's a filter in the front of the case the bottom of the case and the top of the case again the top of the case it's mostly just a solid plain metal panel with some a little bit of breathing stuff on the angled sides but that's also where your power button is now behind the motherboard tray most of this was covered before but there are still a few things those little feet for the power supply that can keep it up and keep any vibration noise away from it which is actually quite cool there's the pump mounting spot which I referenced earlier there's the hard drive cages which I referenced earlier there the kind of like velcro we strap things which are actually really nice and commonly found on fantex cases and there is a six fan pwm hub much like the front the top spacing for fans can fit either three by 120 millimeter or two by 140 millimeter and I really like how far away from the motherboard tray they've actually placed this cooling you can see in the tray as I pull it out that there's a bunch of spacing there that's so you can fit a giant freaking radiator and still have clearance over top of your motherboard you might have troubles if you install like massive Dominator memory or whatever the heck but if you install some fairly standard height memory you'd be able to fit something ridiculous like one of those alpha cool monster rads alright guys let me know in the comments down below is this the case for you is this case you've been looking for not quite yet or on twitter at luke underscore LAF are also thanks to msi for sending us here this year it was a ton of help they're a big part of the reason why we're here at all and you can check out a bitly link in the description below this video to see all the stuff that they're launching at Computex here this year also thank you to lynda.com you can
