my coverage of Computex 2016 is proudly sponsored by fractal design MSI and g.skill we're now at anyone and anyone always has some very fantastic amazing and visually appealing cases to show off so we're going to start off with the one that's the most interesting I don't know if I want to call this a case it's a testbed it's kind of a little bit of both but this is the x-ray 2.0 it's made out of sand casted aluminum it is very large as you can see but it supports of course radiators it supports the in winds special form factor power supply that they've designed that's up here at the top kind of in a an aggressive angle so you can see the window inside and everything this one of course is outfitted with an excellently designed water cooling system and it just looks pretty sweet overall it's got special features like a little drawer on the bottom the pops out has all the materials all of the pieces that you can put on to you know hold things in place whether it's the drives over on this side it's got some IO up here it's got this stand very sturdy stand out down at the bottom that can actually mount on it from two different locations so right now it's in the vertical position so you can show everything off but if you don't want to do that you can actually mount it in the horizontal position like this one is over here as well and the stand has a mount that will go down there so you can use it actually like a test bed and you know set it like that so you can easily pop into pieces or remove them or do what you'd normally do with the test bed as for the X frame 2.0 we do not have pricing or availability yet it's a work in progress that's their kind of proof of concept they have here this one though they are working on it might be available soon this is the D Frame 2.0 you guys remember the D frame right I built my four way GTX Titan setup in that one is badass this one now has gold bling on it it's got a little piece you can pop off right here to kind of lift up the top so give you a little bit more access to the inside tempered glass side panel of course which will easily be removed there and this system that's being set up in here is just gorgeous they got gold chromed up as a gold canopy gold and chrome no it's just gold and shiny all over the place they got a - a gtx 980ti is in there as well as a HyperX predator memory kit a HyperX predator PCIe coordinating it drive and water cooling fittings vibe it's power looks gorgeous I was actually going to sell along with the power supply it's back here the Signature Series s3 to 1065 watt it's again is that special form factor it's not ATX so it only works with the into in win cases but this is going to be sold altogether the deep frame and the power supply for about $1,500 it's a signature piece it's supposed to be very nice so it's a obviously with the gold accents on there it's made for folks who got a little bit of money to spend it also has some new fans right there called Aurora fans they are RGB LED of course and these are kind of unique they're daisy chained together I've never really seen that done with fans so they have a separate controller that can be used with the remote so you can plug those in to control RGB LEDs and the fact that can actually loop them all together it's going to be very nice for cable management I imagine if you're short on fan headers or something like that that could also help so the end when Aurora fans look pretty nice they're on display here in the D and the D frame 2.0 case the Aurora fans should be available in q3 no word on pricing yet I showed you some pretty high-end stuff from in win but if you guys are looking for something that maybe you actually might built a system and how about the N win 303 this is launching like next week and our friend Andy asked me in Kyle how much we thought this case would be worth after showing us for instance tempered glass side panel easily removable kind of unique layout in there they've got the power supply oriented this way on the side and you can actually mount radiator or triple fan support right there all that together Kyle said maybe 160 170 I was like ah maybe 140 or so 89.9 MSRP for this guy right here this is a custom painted version but it's going to be available in white as well as in black and finally over here we have an assortment of what looks like different cases right but these are actually these all versions of the in win 509 that a case modding competition last week they case motors that are all shown here basically had three days eight hours a day so 24 hours total to take the 509 and kind of just go ham with it do whatever they wanted and this is what they came up with now anyone gave me this special token it's yellow it's actually for gambling but I'm told that this is actually worth more because I am being treated as media so I'm going to actually I've already carefully looked at each of these cases going down the line and I was really really not sure which one I was going to vote for this one was pretty close this one's called state of the arts it's by running with scissors Daniel Harper and Dave Alcock I really like this when the LEDs were nice this one it was very visually appealing you know it's got all these bullets all over it so that's pretty aggressive water-cooler my bets bar on this one this is my team down under Stuart Tonks and Ryan Hooper it actually has an external backpack with a radiator on it three radiators on it I believe in a bunch of bands that is connected around the back there with the water cooling was very tempted than that one too I mean look it they got these they got some reservoirs out front and everything but you know what it came down to was this one down on the end this was a sleeper I walked by it at first but it's I just it's very clean it's very polished it's very finished this one's by kun mod Coonans free a apologies if I'm not pronouncing that correctly but I really like the internal work here maybe I'm kind of a sucker for the flow indicators that could be it they got the thicker I believe ptg tubing in there fits power fittings again an asus strix graphics card so I think ultimately my votes got to go for this one right here so there we go my vote has been cast but that's going to wrap it up for this in win booth coverage guys I'll be back again very soon with more Computex 2016 coverage one final shout out and thank you to my sponsors fractal design MSI and g.skill we'll see you guys soon
