The QuadStellar Case!

2017-01-08
excellent hey guys I'm back more CES 2017 coverage I of course want to start off by thanking my sponsors gigabytes ocz a Toshiba company as well as deep cool and that's where I'm at right now is the deep cool suite and they have tons of stuff to show off so I'm going to start off with these fans over here I'm sure you guys I was going to make a fan pun but I gave up never mind about that these are RGB fans that our control will lie this little unit up top and they're sold in sets of three so for $89 you can get three fans and this controller mounts in a 2.5 inch Bay or it will come with adhesive as well as well but you can control the lighting as you can probably see right here via apps available for Android or iOS there's a ton of different features in there as far as different lighting effects you can do whether you want breathing or flashing or rainbow colors or all that kind of thing and you'll notice there's actually two different types so this one over here on the left is going to give you just just a tiny little bit better performance about one degree difference they're telling us because this does have a circular shroud or guard going around the outside of its helped to direct the airflow a little bit more this one over here I think you guys will find pretty interesting because it's basically frameless it's got this kind of frame going across the front of it but there's nothing going around the side the other nice thing about these is they are fluid dynamic bearing fans you can pop the fan off easily if you need to clean it out or that kind of thing and it's a very distinct and different look than you typically get with the typical 120 millimeter fan or that kind of thing these should be out very soon April 2017 and again sold in sets of three let's move on this way next we have the bearing case so this is a new case from deep cool part of their gamer storm series and this case is actually going to be available with integrated deep cool liquid cooling because of course they have the captain's series of all-in-one liquid coolers that they make this one has one integrated already so basically it comes pre-installed and you just got a wire that up and connect it to your motherboard your cooling solution they've actually taken the liquid and routed it through a little flow indicator down here RGB lighting of course is also available they put a nice SSD mount right up here above that so you can have that visible and you know show off your SSD it does have a acrylic side panel but it is sort of a smoked glass look and a very nice finish on this as well for acrylic in particular so that keeps way down and shipping costs down and it's all very durable it just fell over and then apart from that there's a unique power supply situation with this one you could mount your power supply in the bottom down here and go with a micro ATX motherboard or you can move the power supply up to the top which is how they have it configured right now and then you can fit a full-size ATX motherboard in there that's pretty nice also it's metal on the front and the top it's a very nice painted finish as well and of course you have typical aiyyo aiyyo up there and that kind of thing let's move over here that last bearing case by the way is 120 $9.99 MSRP and it should be out in a couple months possibly three months maybe April timeframe next up is the Earle case liquid here you have a similar situation but a larger style case made for full ATX chassis so you have a power supply shroud down there at the bottom a couple SSD mounts of course and then again the integrated liquid cooling solution this one in particular has a red accents both on the LED strip at the bottom as well as the fan up on top it's got a hundred and forty millimeter radiator right there and then again they've integrated a cool flow indicator right there so everything's all connected there so you can look at cool your CPU right out of the box other than that a fairly standard configuration as far as the look of the case overall a box style chassis a bit of an accent here on the front panel and then again we have that smoked acrylic panel that goes on the side so you can get a look in at your build once it's all set up configured and good to go this one is going to retail for a hundred and fifty dollars and bear in mind again you're getting the case and the liquid cooler but they're telling us that they're also going to later on down the line release versions of these cases that don't have the liquid cooling and they will be significantly less expensive you can you can just guess what it's going to cost because I don't know right now $70 next new case is the new arc 90 a new version of the arc 90 so this one is a lot more high-end you might say it's got tempered glass panels across the front the side and at the top and then of course the side panel here is also tempered glass it has a really cool radiator going up the front here they have red fluid it and it right now and I believe that's what it's going to ship with but it also has an LED array or strip that goes down the front here as well as over the top you can control that as well as with the controls the gamers storm logo down there it's a little flow indicator down here in the front too I thought that looked pretty cool and inside they have this cooling array it comes with a 288 millimeter radiator that's installed in there already they have three fans going across it and then on the opposite side over here the side panel has a bunch of slots sort of cut out of it looks really cool and that allows for direct ventilation of the heat from that radiator so a very good way of keeping the heat out of the rest of your system because it's not even come back there and affect the rest of the system speaking the rest of the system that's an AM for motherboard if you guys didn't notice maybe even a rise in CPU and there we're not really sure and that motherboard is just there to show that these new coolers from deep cool are going to be fully a m4 compatible so if you're looking forward to rising and you're looking forward to water cooling your eyes and chip then maybe look to a deep cool cooler also there is an extension here for your PCI Express slot so you can take your graphics card and either do it directly into the slot or you can bring it out and have it shown up there write it right out front through your side panel so it looks pretty one more thing to show you get no two more things will save the best for last a quick update for the deep cool captain all-in-one liquid cooling series is an RGB version of it that they have right here so you might see RGB lighting going on there in the back if not I can control it with the remote control wait where the remote control go ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ok I found the remote here so it's actually got a color wheel on it so I can just spin around change the color and you might notice that the color of the lights on the cooler is changing along with this RGB strip so basically what they've upgraded this with is added an RGB LED strip added the ability to connect that strip to the deep cool captain liquid cooler as well calling it deep cool captain e.x RGB because RGB makes sense and everyone knows what that is now and then a magnetic strip right here which you can of course attached to any steel exposed part of your chassis and get yourself some RGB action just by upgrading your liquid cooler alright the best thing is next it's right through here so this is the deep cool quad stellar which if you guys are familiar with the Tri stellar it's just the next logical thing to do is make it quad so I assume they're going to have a Penta stellar at one point but we'll leave that up to you guys for future speculation anyway the quad stellar right here instead being a mini ITX chassis like the Tri stellar was supports full size actually ATX Andy ATX motherboards so the actual like plain of the motherboard sits this way along this rail right here this compartment up on top can be removed and then you can add your graphics cards up there via PCIe risers you can fit a 3-way SLI configuration up here or if you're looking into doing something else like maybe putting radiators up here something you can remove that and then you can put up to four-way SLI or whatever you're doing down there in the actual interior of the chassis so lots of configurations for high ends graphics cards and that kind of thing and since this entire like - - parts of the quad are mainly your motherboard layout and everything like that the top of it up here is left for hard drive and you can fit up to nine 3.5 inch hard drives via the bays up there and of course has some RGB lighting across here on the front down in this quadrant you have a power supply area and then they also have some RGB lighting in there they're still working on this as a prototype so they're planning coming out with it in a few months now but they're aiming for a $300 price point on this which is less than the Tri stellar was and for a case like this since I mean very looks very custom designed and very different than your typical standard ATX chassis that's pretty cool additional features also include the ability to supply or ESET extended size motherboards but you can fit really really large motherboards in here and then these panels here on the front are actually thermally controlled so there's a temperature sensor inside the case I think they have multiple temperature sensors and if it gets too warm these will open up and actually vent more warm air then once the system cools down the close up on their own which is pretty cool there are some other accent lighting points on here that they've been working on as well again prototypes so not everything is working perfectly and then again tempered glass panels that are up here as well as down on the sides so you can get a nice look in at your system once you get it all set up and good to go so that's the quad stellar and I want to know what you guys think of this case because I think it's pretty badass I mean if you have enough space for it of course you can make a really cool looking system and $300 for something like this I think is quite reasonable so let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below I will be back with more coverage of CES 2017 really - like really soon we're already gone to so many places and met so many people they're all lovely so I hit the thumbs up button leave me comments and I will see you next time
