what's going on everyone we are here at the fantex sweet Computex 2018 and we're gonna start things off first with a revision of the fantex evolved case I like seeing revisions of cases because look it tells the consumer that the company is working to improve things that have already been tried and true the evolve X is the next step and let me tell you it's in the right direction folks I know you can't see it just by looking into the case but there are two systems in here you might be wondering okay where's the second system it's got to be an ITX system maybe it's under these graphics cards there are three of them packed into here one vertical vertical graphics card mounting is supported then we have two graphics cards plugged into the ATX system but the ITX system the motherboard and the CPU are mounted up top and that I think is really cool especially for streamers I think this will be a big hit maybe not from a price point perspective you know I'm building two systems on a PC is never going to be the first option for most people but the idea that you can do that in this case with a simple bracket what I'm holding right here and a dedicated power button of course will be at the back of the case is a really neat idea now the improvements the evolve X don't just stop here there have been concerns in the past about air flow and admittedly the front panel is quite restrictive or was quite restrictive now we have much more breathing room the entire front panel actually has been pulled forward quite a bit more talking nearly three times the airflow from the previous model so on the round this side is where the goodies continue this is where the evolve X has truly evolved because now it looks extremely clean thanks to these cable management panels so this is how a clean system should look on the right side folks but the joy of this is that you don't really have to worry about what goes on underneath these panels to cliffs one on top one on the bottom look at that I mean it's it's decent you get the velcro straps still right so your cable management isn't bad but when you have a tempered glass panel with these cables and nothing more it can admittedly look a little rough so fantex has solved it this time around by including simple snap to use panels we have one on the front side and then one on the bottom let's see again hide your PSU cables I just say two cables what have you and the kicker here you can actually mountain drives to the panel's so we have three more SSDs down here that it and show it earlier but we have three more SSDs over on this side and you can actually mount nine SSDs in here with dedicated SSD trays and up to ten hard drives up front and down below the basement so if you're in the building masses in typical ATX cases like this then this one's definitely for you and the last thing I want to touch up top again one more air flow improvement remember the tiny little slits included with the original fantex evolved case now we have mesh up top much better air flow and there's actually a lot of space up here as well so if you're you know comfortable of mounting fans up top even radiators having those exhaust or even intake air got much more space now to pull that air in or push it out now this ladies and gentlemen is the fantex P 600 X it's looking a little rough right now it's because it's still in production it was hand welded but they wanted to bring this to CES to show you guys and what its gonna look like when it is actually produced you know a few things that are gonna be refined obviously aesthetically speaking because it's still in production but I wanted to show you guys exactly what to expect feature wise and the PC center test starting with the hinge doors basically the same thing you'll get with the fantex evolved X the same rubber seals all the way around the hinge is just beautiful and flawless and check this out I don't know why I like this the most about this case but they told me that this was actually quite difficult to get the factories to do properly and I just I love it I don't know why it's just like a diagonal little indention here with the fantex logo nice and subtle but it looks really clean and I'm excited to see it in full production later this year now on this side things get a little little weird but it's a good weird so sound damping foam on this side too damping not damn I've made that mistake more than once but swing it a little more this way okay I'm excited to show you guys this alright pull this off more sound damping foam by the way this is something you've probably never seen on a PC case a traditional PC case it's actually like a fabric it's like a mesh fabric something that you might find like a pair of sports shoes but you know what bear with me here it's actually really efficient and it's durable yeah so yeah if you're still on board with this just hear me out it acts as an efficient the dust filter actually it's more of like a two-in-one dust filter and it's also pretty good at allowing air to pass through it so a typical metal mesh around 60 to 70 percent actually pretty resistant for what it is despite being able to see through it for the most part it does impede air flow and a case like this so with a mesh like this fabric mesh up to 90 percent of the air being pushed through the fans is able to make its way unhindered through the fabric itself so it's something that is new they're definitely willing to try it and I like it because I think it's gonna catch on and I think people will be impressed with the airflow qualities of the case due to the fabric itself so different colors are possible obviously it's fabric and get in all shapes and sizes and fantex wants to know what you guys think what colors they should offer I mean look there are so many colors to choose from people are gonna be pretty picky rightfully so they're the consumers look at the truce but fantex wants to know so we're gonna have a poll on Twitter might be multiple polls because we can't put you know a certain number of options in each of those polls so be sure to check all of them if there are more than one and then you can see that these panels here already have the the fabric pre-installed so what they'll do is sell these panels separately with the fabric pre-installed and wrapped around them already on it just kind of makes it look I don't know I think it's a very subtle conservative look and it gives the panel's more of a transparent feel you can actually see through them because the mesh itself is obviously slightly transparent so if you have RGB LEDs maybe RGB fans an RGB graphics card like with this one here the fan text evolved ITX you can see the graphics card glowing on one side and then you can see some fans glowing on another because now all of a sudden transparent whereas before it was not so just a way to spice things up make the case more your own now we are in the secret room of Mg and neo cases all these behind will kind of script through these one by one but these are powered by fantex but they're their own unique family they're going to look a little different they're gonna you're gonna see similar features that you would find on typical fantex cases but these are gonna be more budget oriented they'll be friendly from a price perspective they will not have you know all the nooks and crannies of you know the fanciness of the fantex lineup but they will still be but we're gonna pause there but but they're gonna still look darn good here we go all right cool these are actually full aluminum chassis which we haven't seen in quite a while from really any major manufacturer so it's nice to see this from fantex or excuse me mg now these will be priced at around $99 a piece tempered glass on both the left and right sides they're premium cases they're just from a different quote unquote brand a different family of cases a different approach to the traditional mid-sized Tower and just ways to change things up offer a bit more competition in an already crowded market I'm not gonna complain because these look very unique already and now these are my favorite so we have the neo Mini and then we have the neo Mini G or the Neo Geo mini this one is actually one I want to talk about the most because you're gonna get for the price Oh remind me again $79 you're gonna get RGB fans to right to RGB fans so I'm trying to slip there's a lot of stuff going on fantex sweet today you're also gonna get the PCIe riser cable included this is actually the only way you can install graphics cards in this case is vertically so it's actually really cool I don't mind this at all especially in that x1 factor like this you mount your PSU up top and I old-school but it looks really cool because if it include these stickers or the tempered-glass to kind of hide you know the cable stuff you might not want to see with your power supply and then you're gonna of course have your motherboard in the back so this one looks really good I think this one's a great value as well for what you're getting the PCI riser which a lot of manufacturers don't include in cases that support vertical graphics card mounting you get to RGB fans you get the tempered glass up front get it on the left side and you get airflow through the right panel as well which is a unique look definitely stands out so in summary MG neo is about the value it's about what you get about the bang for the buck not compromising on the important qualities of a premium PC case but also not compromising on the price pricing out the consumer is something that a lot of companies do and they bid League don't even realize that they're doing it but between 69 roughly and 99 US dollars that's what you can get with all of these cases here I can't wait to get my hands on at least one of these and review them possibly build in one and then give you guys the inside scoop once we've been able to fully dissect these chassis which admittedly upfront look great that's it for the fan tech suite again a lot we've been here for a while but it's a good thing I like seeing all the new products I like seeing the revisions and the products and I look forward to what they'll show at CES and Computex 2019 sounds really weird to say but it'll be here before we know it this is science studio thanks for traveling with us you
