BitFenix Saber - An $89 Case with Addressable Style

2019-05-29
- We are back at the Bitfinex booth here and last year we had Tammy, but this year we've got Sherry. - Sherry - How you doing? - Hello. I'm Sherry. - Hands off the gold mic. (beep) - PC (mumbles) (upbeat techno music) - Welcome to Computex 2019 and I'm here at the Bitfinix booth, and I'm gonna take you guys through three new cases they have coming out, and also taking a look at a concept case where they actually might need a bit of your feedback on what they should do with it. But starting off with the entry level. We got 59 dollars for the Bitfinix Nova Mesh. Now for an extra 10 dollars they do have the tempered glass version coming into 69 dollars, but I'm told that this will fit a 360 mil rad in there at the front where the push and pull configuration so you can have three fans on the front, three fans on the back, and then looking at the top of the case, we got the ability to mount two 120 mil fans. Now if clearance allows for it. So if the heat sink doesn't come out too much, then you can mount a 240 mil rad up there as well in a push or a pull configuration. However, speaking of the clearance from the CPU block to the actual tempered glass or the side panel itself. We're looking at 160 mil, and for your graphics guard you're looking at about, or should I say graphic card, you're looking at about 340 mil clearance in there, so you can get those extra long GPUs in there absolutely no problems. And at the back of the case you have room for 23 mil of cable clearance there for cable management as well as having three SSDs, or an extra two to mount at the back if you wish to not mount 3.5 inch drives. So you do get the option to mount two 3.5 inch hard drives too in the base down below. You can also mount the power supply in the back of the case and then that towards the front leaves the shroud to cover the power supply so you can even work with those dirty ketchup and mustard cables like I'm used to doing in a lot of builds and still not feel the affect. And then the last piece of this puzzle, of course, is the front panel, which is easily detachable and it is mesh, of course, to allow for easy air flow. On top you get 2 USB3 ports as well as your standard audio out mic in and your power and reset buttons. And in terms of a release date we're looking at a Quarter three release date. Anywhere inbetween those three months I'm told they are still getting this to market and they have to mass produce it, but they do want to get this thing out at the start of Quarter three. The next case that is coming to market in about Quarter four is the Saber. This is coming in at 89 USD, of course features tempered glass on the side, and on that note of tempered glass, both of the cases I'm featuring here with tempered glass are going to have four millimeter thickness, and out the back of this case is the ability to mount four SSDs and two hard drives, so six SSDs in total, but the differing factor here on this case is the RGB stripes at the front. Now this is a dressable RGB, so you can use this with five volt controllers on your motherboard, and change the affects, but another cool thing with this front panel is if you take it off, it then automatically switches the RGB off, so it's easy to do cable management, work with radiators, instead of having to have an annoying cable hang out and then have to work with that. And it does have these side ventilation there that you can easily take out and clean if you wish to, and I'm told it's not going to restrict airflow a whole lot, so they have been working on the designs with the airflow to ensure that your components remain cool and still do a good job of getting the bling right. Also, another differing factor on this case versus the Nova is the ability to mount a vertical GPU, and one thing about DOS filters is that you do get on both these models that I've talked about here DOS filters on the bottom and top and they're both magnetic. And then the last of the cases here is a concept. This is the Dawn TG, so no release dates, no prices. They're just gauging to see whether or not this will be a good design or not, so do let us know in the comment section below if you are digging this design. Now the RGB, they still have to get it to shine through, but the idea is to have what's up on the poster board, and that is the glass on the back and the front of the case. Having RGB in a unique manner shining through, and of course it's got the ability to support even more than those previous two cases that we've talking about. But speaking of the previous two cases, they also sported VAGX, something that I did miss out, which is a great thing, especially for a 59 dollar case, and for guys who want to mount big serverboards from the old Zion generation. Then that's something to definitely think about to, but in terms of this concept it's mainly that RGB lining that they're focusing on, and they're getting it in the works, but if it does have enough positive reception then perhaps they'll put it into production, and maybe if there is a finished concept I'll get some shots for you guys on the channel and the vlog in the future, but with that aside, I hope you guys enjoyed our tour here at the Bitfinix booth at Computex 2019.

Love reading your thoughts and opinions as always. - [Man In Background] Sherry ready for peace out (mumbles). - Alright, alright, c'mon, c'mon. Quick Quick Quick. Yeah Quickly. - Peace out for now. Bye. - One more time one more time. Go. Energetic. - Peace out for now! Bye! - Nailed it. (upbeat techno music)
