I've got something special here Elena what is this this is the dune pro case
coming from I believe the company's called June this is a prototype this
will be releasing I believe later this month as a Kickstarter option it's a
$200 mid tower case that is a replica of the coming MacPro case that we've seen
yeah this is this is not a Mac it is not a match for Apple we will be actually
doing a pro PC build in this and this is going to be a teardown of this case you
can get a better look at it everything that we're about to show you
comes with the case except for this optional front panel which they're
calling their dice why cover this is supposed to be for helping with sound so
this is supposed to reduce sound based on the design of how I guess air flows
through interesting and this has the more modern cheesegrater look the one
that like the new Mac Pro is sporting yeah it comes with this more traditional
cheese grater look I like it yeah so essentially you get to choose between
small or large if you if you want for your looks at least this is the standard
comes with it this is an additional I believe $80 accessories you do have to
pay extra for this one and this is everything here we're seeing its
aluminium or aluminum yeah you're not done with being imperative mood no I'm
not yeah yeah it's all aluminum it's all a little bit except for the handles and
the feet okay and there's a neat fact about the feet that I will share in just
a second but let's start going this apart so back panel just goes like this
wide open it's got this nice little mechanism where the the pegs slot in
so they were telling us that they couldn't you know replicate apples
design exactly so there is a little bit of awkwardness here so how you'll secure
any expansion cards they say that there will be dust filters I'm not certain
what positions they'll be at I assume there's going to be one in the front and
one on the bottom at the very least you can mount to 80 millimeter fans here or
here for exhaust all right let's move on to the side panel so this just pops
straight out nice and black on the inside
what's that cable hanging down cable is for the well enough it's not front panel
top panel connectors here very very minimalist so you have the power button
and then you have two USB sea ports these two USB ports have connectors here
so you would attach these two cables that are included one is for USB three
Oh what other the other one supports USB 3.1 gen2 so you can get ten give it per
second speeds they just connect there and then you attach these to whatever
motherboard you have obviously you're not going to get USB 3.1 gen2 speeds if
your motherboard doesn't support it so okay you may have to buy a different
cable or just live with five gigabit speeds and we did here in the final unit
this cable will be black correct this is a no power switch yeah motherboard goes
here obviously supports up to e ATX and all the way down to Mini ITX for
different sizes clearance here for the GPU well with these two cages hard drive
cages installed it's up to 250 millimeters you take
these out then you get a full three hundred eighty millimeter clearance so
you can fit you know large chunky beefy graphics cards in here these cages slide
out
again just a minor this is a prototype they were saying that you know there's
some scratches on the aluminum and stuff because it's prototype they're just kind
of handling it a lot I'm told that we'll get a production model later so we'll be
able to kind of compare them and see what the final looks like if you have
this installed there's also a drive cage here at the bottom with in the power
supply shroud area that also supports drives as well so all told you can have
up to I believe 11 3.5 inch drives and up to five 2.5 inch drive or a lot so if
you want this to become some kind of like server or like just storage unit
type build it definitely supports that awesome alright so that's pretty much it
I mean pull it all out pretty clean I believe the shroud is riveted in place
here so this doesn't come out and then there's a right here you can mount front
fans supports up to three 120 millimeter fans or two 140 millimeter fans and
obviously rads up to 360 millimeters all the way down to 120 milli you know what
meters excuse me just to finish the interior tour here
you're the spots for your 2.5 inch drives and then here's that hard drive
cage that I was talking about just a moment ago it is removable nice so you
can you can have some pretty chunky power supplies or
you know really long ones if you need to and then finally we will pull off the
front
this and then there's a mounting point for your radiator or fans so if you want
to see it with the dice why cover I'm gonna do that real quick I just pops in
real easy pops off though anything nice so one thing I forgot before I pulled
out the drive cages was to mention these two accessories here which are fan
mounting brackets we're told that these are supposed to be
included I didn't see them on the website when I looked just a moment ago
but again this is a prototype I think things are still getting sorted out if
these are included the way they work is that you just swap them in right here
there's a screw that would hold that in place and then you can use that to mount
of 128 20 millimeter fan there's so there's one bracket from here and then
one bracket or here like that when we show them one last little fun thing
about this case you forgot I almost forgot so I'm told that this size of
screw is compatible with IKEA casters of all things so you can replace these you
can so the case itself is actually pretty heavy I think when we everything
all the panels are on and when you pick it up by the handles and you put it on
the scale it comes in at about 26 pounds so once you build it and if you're
putting in a ton of drives excited cetera it's gonna get quite heavy so if
you need to you can put casters in instead and that way if you have to move
it around your home office your actual office wherever you can just roll it
around as opposed to having to have to it onto a cart and potentially throw out
your back and a lot cheaper doing it a lot cheaper than the Apple will charge
you testers for it that's very true although it cracks me up because this is
supposed to be a two hundred dollar case and then you would slap in like what ten
dollar casters Yeah right dollar casters who knows but I mean like he is not your
only option but supposedly at least it's just a
option it's a affordable option if you decide
that you want to go with a little more budget after spending on your money on
the case then you know a bajillion get your bytes of RAM all right so that's
really it for now we will be building in this tomorrow October 9th at 10 a.m.
Pacific so definitely stay tuned we may have a couple of surprises in terms of
what we are wearing or what we're drinking we'll see
