I mean easily this is my pocket mm-hmm well hello good people I'm Dimitri and
let's check out what metallicgear has to offer in the new year and as usual
big thanks to our sponsors Razer Phanteks be quiet and thermaltake for making CES
2020 possible 2020 my friends is going to be I feel like is going to be
inspired by what Apple has recently launched and this is the neo pro
obviously this is going to be called maybe the cheese grater case and this is
something that we've seen mock-ups of in the past from previous companies and now
we have that from metallicgear which is the budget brand powered by Phanteks and
this is something that I'm personally really excited about because this mesh
isn't just for looks of course the aesthetic element is part
of it but airflow and silence are two so the mesh is actually quite large in
terms of letting air through but the way this mesh is designed it's also blocking
out a lot of the noise don't worry about the dust there is a dust filter it sits
behind the cheesegrater plate as you can see it's a fine mesh so it is very nice
for airflow it will catch any dust that passes through the cheesegrater front
and we have a pretty capable interior with the neo pro that can house an ATX
motherboard we have dual 120 s and 140 Miller fan support at the front we have
a dual hard drive cage in the front as well that you can pull out goods for
SSDs and hard drive cages these cases will be included with a rear exhaust fan
and 120 mil and for $59 this looks like a really good budget solution that
actually looks pretty sick both in silver and black models as for the AO is
pretty standard dual USB threes audio jacks power and reset buttons the frames
are based on the newest Island design but without the top fan mounts but we
still have a nice tgd mount without the thumb screws on the side now they've
been relocated to the rear so the whole side is beautiful and like for $59 this
yeah I would rock this a really good budget option if you want that whole mac
pro look nice affordable system - and this is the
new matrix as you can see the matrix in the front is pretty cool we have seen
similar designs from in wind but unfortunately those cases were really
expensive so the new matrix surprise surprise given metallicgear's budget
orientation is $89 so actually pretty affordable if you're going for something
that looks this different in this unique I have asked them about how many effects
and presets will be included and they told me many they will be money to
satisfy your digital argb goodness in terms of tempered glass we have the side
mount just like on the neo pro that also has a
thumb screw at the back for that clean aesthetic and the front panel here
is also glass it's not plastic so don't worry about scratching that whole thing
also the airflow here is a little bit more restrictive versus the probe but
they have spaced out the panels so that we have reasonable air flow coming into
the case given what this case is designed for then your matrix does have
this hole ventilation up top more budget-friendly orientation dual 120
mounts and the same i/o as the neo pro dual USB threes and your color buttons
so you can cycle between different presets all through physical buttons
this does not have software which is something that we actually appreciate I
was asking to see if there'll be like a clock version where you can see what
time it is if you see any emails notifications whatever nope none of that
it's all physical based and let's just change up some color laughs hello I mean
the actual color and the uniformity of each individual square is absolutely
beautiful this is what I would expect for an $89 case hmm now that you know
about neo cases the neo Pro and new matrix you might want to spice up your
case with neon LED strips and these have launched already last year you can use
these flexible LED strips to potentially highlight things like your motherboard
to potentially highlight certain other areas of your enclosure this is really
interesting so check this out this is a 90-degree little connector
that you could potentially mount to a motherboard standoff or a fan so you
have a little bit of flexibility on where they actually go
giving you these sort of beautiful right angle connectors for these LED strips
and in this particular case highlighting this motherboard very well and I like
that there they don't look perfect because they
almost look like those neon lights that you actually would see on the street and
they're never perfect like for example this little run is not exactly straight
and I think that gives you a little bit of a character for the case they are
available in different lengths which is cool so you can customize depending on
what hardware you want to highlight if you cool things over here as you can cut
the actual strip to length depending on what you want or you can also daisy
chain them because they all have the initial tip and the end tip into which
you can connect and daisy chain multiple strips they start at $14.99 all the way
up to 2199 a pretty cool way to customize the interior of your system or
the exterior whatever your heart desires and this my friends is the exterior
example using those neon strips right besides something that I did not expect
to see at fantex is the new evolve sound bar these are
still in prototype stages but they have evolved from the evolved sound mini
that we saw at Computex but that looked like the evolved speakers and these are
kind of after the evolve shift and the shift X enclosure which is something
really cool they can be stacked together like this in stereo mode they can be
also used individually in a soundbar profile if you're after that because
they can be placed down I did not expect to see speakers from fantex I guess you
didn't either they sound pretty good nice base profile
obviously a RGB two that connect to the system you can fully customize and sync
what you have on the interior of the sound bar to what you have on the actual
enclosure I guess we're there I guess we're there
a RGB speakers yeah alright good people that is it from metallicgear and some
additional Phantek's goodies in the suite let us know if you want us to review
this actually really want to thanks so much for watching we'll talk to you in
the next video
