An Attractive $40 Tempered Glass Case?

2018-06-07
my coverage of Computex 2018 is brought to you by gigabyte coolermaster team group and Thermaltake okay guys I'm a deep cool they have a few new cases right here on the deep cool side and we're going to take a look at some all-in-one liquid coolers over on the gamer storm site so let's start with the cases behind me and I'm gonna start by telling you their prices forty bucks 60 bucks ninety bucks now one thing I should point out right of up front is that none of these cases are going to ship with fans so you get to choose your own fans and put them in but forty bucks and tempered glass on two side panels so let's take a closer look so starting with matrix 55 $40 case and tempered glass on both the front piece right here as well as a side panel right here deep pools keeping things pretty basic with the design of these cases albeit $40 I can keep putting that up so the tempered glass mounts just with the four screws on the four corners like you have seen some early tempered glass version so you can pop that off not the simplest way to put it on and off but it holds it securely and it is rubberized on there internally it's pretty open so you're not gonna have like a power supply shroud down at the bottom it's pretty open in the front too that does allow them to support up to a ATX motherboard sizes so you can pretty put a pretty large motherboard in here down at the bottom there is a hard drive cage to fit a couple 3.5 inch hard drives power supplies at the back like on most cases of this design for i/o up in the front you got a USB 3.0 a couple USB 2.0 mic and headphone jack power and reset other than that though a pretty standard case design and it does look like there's a decent amount of space behind the motherboard tray as well no grommets or anything like that but again a $40.00 case so really the selling points here gonna be your tempered glass as well as of course plenty of radiator support in fact up to three hundred sixty millimeter radiator support in the front up to two hundred and eighty millimeter radiator and the top as well as possibly 120 at the back if you want to do that we've also got magnetic dust filter so you can remove that like that and clean it pretty much all the basic functions you want in a case for 40 bucks with tempered glass just bring your own fence next is a matrix 70 similar designed to the 55 but we have added an RGB accent strip down the front and that does come with the case but again the fans do not and it also has an RGB controller that's integrated there and they've also added three buttons on the top so if you're not connecting to the motherboard for the RGB you can't connect it to the controller and you can cycle through some various RGB effects with that for Iowa here you have a single USB 3.0 and a single USB 2.0 so not the most expansion but you do get the basics taken care of and then you get a little bit more radiator support here 360 in the front 360 in the top and again 120 in the back possibly and finally the matrix 75 this one's gonna cost you in ninety bucks but you do get some upgrades over the other versions first off you get the option of a mesh front panel you can swap those up pretty easily actually so pop one up and pop the other one on depending whether you want to look pretty with the timber glass or have a bit of dust filtration as well as a little bit more airflow this one also maintains that RGB strip down the front just like the 70 over there and then you get a bit better IO here you actually get four USB 3.0 ports with two headers internally in the case so you can connect those up to your motherboard again ehx support then this one actually looks like it might be a little bit better suited for water cooling you get a couple of SSD trays actually up here in the top right and then there's a bit of a rail panel below that so potential mounting location for a pump or a reservoir or something along those lines you also have these removable panels at the top so you can remove those if you want to let air out or keep them on if you want to keep noise in speaking of the top 360 red support here compared in 60 red support in the front and then again of course potential 120 at the back if you want to do that also worth pointing out that this one they have actually added some rubber grommets for the cable management passed through holes so it's going to keep things a lot more clean when it comes to routing your cables and also all of your internal cabling here is all black so you're not gonna have any ugly ketchup and mustard even on the HD audio even the HD audio is all black cable or the current tempered glass piece for the side panel here is actually a temporary situation they said when they actually bring this to market it's gonna hinge at the back and it will swing out I'm sorry imitating how that over right now you guys get the idea right so those are the new matrix cases from deep pool again 40 bucks 60 bucks 90 bucks and they're expecting needs to be out in September 2018 and now over here the gamers storm side gamers storm is deep pools gaming oriented sub brand so they have a couple new all-in-one liquid coolers this is the castle RGB Series and the claim to fame for these is that they feature thread Ripper supportin so they've made the copper contact plate on the bottom larger for threader for support and they're also going to include the hardware for threader for mounting in the box these are also compatible with the mainstream AMD and Intel platforms as well as Intel high-end platform as well so just about any modern CPU can be cooled with this cooler and has also got a new design so you might be familiar with the little tube through design that they've been doing with their captain over here for a while for the castle they've integrated the pump down at the bottom and I also have a little viewing window with a circular addressable RGB glow but the gamers storm logo right in the middle and it's a pretty cool effect I think these are a bit taller so they do stand out a little bit more from the CPU but they are available in 280 as well as 240 versions these are aluminum radiators and they're going to be available in July 2018 for a cost 110 bucks for the 240 and 130 bucks for the 280 and finally here's the captain 240 pro addressable RGB LED fans at 280 millimeter radiator they've also updated the addressable RGB LEDs it's on the pump again it's a similar pump design that you've seen from gamers storm before with their captain series difference here is the radiator has actually been updated it has a pressure release points right up here so in order to extend the lifespan of your all-in-one liquid cooler as temperatures go up and down and pressure might mounts up within the within the loop this will release that and according to do cool will make your olive one liquid cooler last longer that's a captain 240 Pro available in August 2018 for 120 bucks
