1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,895
Hi guys not here and today I'm going to
2
00:00:02,896 --> 00:00:05,580
look into the latest version of one of
3
00:00:05,581 --> 00:00:07,109
the most popular and the most iconic
4
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:09,794
case series in the past ten years or so
5
00:00:09,795 --> 00:00:11,669
which is the fractal design defined
6
00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:12,540
series
7
00:00:12,541 --> 00:00:15,780
they released two brand-new cases today
8
00:00:15,781 --> 00:00:18,390
to define seven and the defined seven
9
00:00:18,391 --> 00:00:20,039
excel now as you've noticed the art is
10
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,109
missing and nobody knows where the art
11
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:23,519
is so if you happen to find the art
12
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,890
called the headquarters maybe they will
13
00:00:25,891 --> 00:00:29,669
send you a new case I don't know now
14
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:32,429
this series is known for having a very
15
00:00:32,430 --> 00:00:34,920
elegant sleek design excellent build
16
00:00:34,921 --> 00:00:37,019
quality and the excellent finish they've
17
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:39,270
never done anything super crazy and
18
00:00:39,271 --> 00:00:41,070
super out of the ordinary but I guess
19
00:00:41,071 --> 00:00:43,590
that's one of the reasons so many people
20
00:00:43,591 --> 00:00:45,480
like these cases so the fact that they
21
00:00:45,481 --> 00:00:47,100
find seven will cost two hundred and
22
00:00:47,101 --> 00:00:49,439
fifty two hundred and sixty dollars
23
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,629
depending on the color and the type of a
24
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:53,429
panel you can choose you can get a black
25
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:55,349
case black with a white inside you can
26
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:57,238
get a gray case or the white one with
27
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:00,359
the silver front panel like I have right
28
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,159
here and the site can be either closed
29
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,040
or a tempered glass depending on what
30
00:01:05,041 --> 00:01:07,649
you like the big excel case will cost
31
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:09,900
you $50 more and you can only get it in
32
00:01:09,901 --> 00:01:12,330
black so let's see what these cases have
33
00:01:12,331 --> 00:01:14,010
to offer and are they worth getting
34
00:01:14,011 --> 00:01:16,769
let's go this video is brought to you by.
35
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:19,618
Asus and there are og scar three gaming
36
00:01:19,619 --> 00:01:23,219
laptop the scar three comes with a six
37
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:24,869
core intel core i7 CPU a proper r-tx 20
38
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,599
70 graphics card and a stunning 240
39
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,165
hertz IPS panel giving you that
40
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:32,670
fantastic gaming experience and then all
41
00:01:32,671 --> 00:01:34,559
that at a reasonable price
42
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,540
check it out using the links in the
43
00:01:36,541 --> 00:01:38,835
description below as you would expect a
44
00:01:38,836 --> 00:01:41,100
fractal didn't really change too much in
45
00:01:41,101 --> 00:01:43,065
terms of the design of the defined
46
00:01:43,066 --> 00:01:45,045
series now there are a few visible
47
00:01:45,046 --> 00:01:47,325
changes like the aluminum front panel
48
00:01:47,326 --> 00:01:49,755
now is curving over the edges a bit and
49
00:01:49,756 --> 00:01:53,280
they also decided to remove the iconic
50
00:01:53,281 --> 00:01:54,749
chrome feet in favor of more typical
51
00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:57,509
plastic feet which are actually not my
52
00:01:57,510 --> 00:02:00,868
favorite now don't let the XL case fool
53
00:02:00,869 --> 00:02:03,750
you because even the standard defines 7
54
00:02:03,751 --> 00:02:06,420
is a pretty large case it is 48
55
00:02:06,421 --> 00:02:09,330
- centimeters tall it is 55 centimeters.
- Deep and 24 centimeters wide and the XL.
56
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:12,270
Takes it one step further
57
00:02:12,271 --> 00:02:14,895
being 57 centimeters tall and six
58
00:02:14,896 --> 00:02:17,610
centimetres deep both cases come with
59
00:02:17,611 --> 00:02:20,580
the door that gives you access to the
60
00:02:20,581 --> 00:02:22,665
front desk filter and optical base there
61
00:02:22,666 --> 00:02:25,425
is one undefined 7 & 2 on the excel you
62
00:02:25,426 --> 00:02:28,439
can also get rid of the external base
63
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,439
and make more space for fans if you wish
64
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,319
the door feels great the mail hinges are
65
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,659
very well done and you can reverse it to
66
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:38,340
open the other way if you prefer you can
67
00:02:38,341 --> 00:02:40,590
also reach the bottom dust filter from
68
00:02:40,591 --> 00:02:43,200
the front which is a very nice thing and
69
00:02:43,201 --> 00:02:45,870
very convenient a very positive change
70
00:02:45,871 --> 00:02:47,969
is that they got rid of that lame top
71
00:02:47,970 --> 00:02:50,129
panel cover that was popular before and
72
00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:51,719
instead of having that removable thing
73
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,054
that you just slap on top
74
00:02:53,055 --> 00:02:55,559
both 7 and the 7 Excel actually gets
75
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,184
shipped with two completely different
76
00:02:58,185 --> 00:03:01,679
top panels so depending on the cooling
77
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,319
configuration you can actually have a
78
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,910
proper sleek clean looking top or a
79
00:03:05,911 --> 00:03:08,775
better performing ventilated panel now
80
00:03:08,776 --> 00:03:10,950
this is definitely an extra cost and one
81
00:03:10,951 --> 00:03:13,530
of the reasons why these cases are a bit
82
00:03:13,531 --> 00:03:16,169
- more expensive than the previous ones.
- But I think the end result is really.
83
00:03:16,172 --> 00:03:17,008
Worth it
84
00:03:17,009 --> 00:03:20,399
front i/o panel is same on both cases
85
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,205
and it comes with separate audio jacks a.
86
00:03:23,206 --> 00:03:26,265
USB type-c port 2 USB 3 and 2 USB 2
87
00:03:26,266 --> 00:03:30,000
points another interesting change is on
88
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:32,759
- both side panels that have a completely.
- New mechanism of opening so they have a.
89
00:03:32,762 --> 00:03:35,235
Little clip in the back and you just
90
00:03:35,236 --> 00:03:37,439
need to pull on the panel so it opens it
91
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,209
is very sturdy though so you do need to
92
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:41,400
put some efforts in it which is great
93
00:03:41,401 --> 00:03:43,650
because you don't really want it
94
00:03:43,651 --> 00:03:45,870
accidentally opening or getting pushed
95
00:03:45,871 --> 00:03:47,760
open by cables they're also connected at
96
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:49,560
the base so they won't just drop on the
97
00:03:49,561 --> 00:03:51,599
table when you're opening them so I say
98
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,390
it's a very nice solution I just don't
99
00:03:54,391 --> 00:03:56,250
know how durable it is internally the
100
00:03:56,251 --> 00:03:58,259
new defines still look familiar but
101
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:00,750
again a bit more sleek than the last
102
00:04:00,751 --> 00:04:02,969
version there is a nice PSU shroud that
103
00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:05,490
has the same design that matches the top
104
00:04:05,491 --> 00:04:07,140
cover and the right side is kept very
105
00:04:07,141 --> 00:04:09,435
clean like before fractal gives you the
106
00:04:09,436 --> 00:04:11,100
option to either keep the case
107
00:04:11,101 --> 00:04:14,370
completely open like you see right here
108
00:04:14,371 --> 00:04:17,340
or you can move the cover on the right
109
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:19,949
side to the front and just hide a ton of
110
00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:22,319
hard drives behind it by default you can
111
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,729
install up to seven hard drives and two.
112
00:04:24,730 --> 00:04:26,949
SSDs into defined seven
113
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:30,370
and if you add some optional accessories
114
00:04:30,371 --> 00:04:32,020
you can fit up to 14 hard drives and 4.
115
00:04:32,021 --> 00:04:34,765
SSDs in there now if that isn't enough
116
00:04:34,766 --> 00:04:38,050
for you for some mysterious unexplained
117
00:04:38,051 --> 00:04:41,020
reason with some extra cages and
118
00:04:41,021 --> 00:04:42,745
brackets you can fit 18 hard drives and
119
00:04:42,746 --> 00:04:45,505
5 SSDs into the excel and still have
120
00:04:45,506 --> 00:04:48,025
plenty of space for a large graphics
121
00:04:48,026 --> 00:04:50,755
card the defined 7 can fit up to an
122
00:04:50,756 --> 00:04:52,930
extended ATX motherboard but keep in
123
00:04:52,931 --> 00:04:54,835
mind if you use that one it will cover
124
00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:58,000
the cable management holes and grommets
125
00:04:58,001 --> 00:05:01,149
so the cable manager will be a bit messy
126
00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:04,839
so I would suggest you stick to the ATX
127
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,414
format now the defined 7 excel can even
128
00:05:06,415 --> 00:05:09,190
fit an SSI board but again it will cover
129
00:05:09,191 --> 00:05:11,810
the cable management holes so I would
130
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:14,585
stick to either ATX or extended ATX
131
00:05:14,586 --> 00:05:17,710
motherboards you can actually move the
132
00:05:17,711 --> 00:05:20,529
grommets and close the holes you're not
133
00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:22,930
using so if you stick to ATX or extended.
134
00:05:22,931 --> 00:05:25,209
ATX you will still have cleaned cable
135
00:05:25,210 --> 00:05:27,519
management the backside of both cases is
136
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,469
really well done as well there is plenty
137
00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:31,959
of space for cable management there is a
138
00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:32,620
lot of cable routing options they also
139
00:05:32,621 --> 00:05:34,209
added a nice little extra cover at the
140
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:35,904
bottom that keeps the cables nicely
141
00:05:35,905 --> 00:05:37,525
tucked in there's also very nicely
142
00:05:37,526 --> 00:05:40,810
hidden fan hub which you connect to at.
143
00:05:40,811 --> 00:05:43,779
PWM header on your motherboard and can
144
00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:45,684
be used to connect to up to 63 pin fans
145
00:05:45,685 --> 00:05:48,459
and three PWM fans so 9 in total now
146
00:05:48,460 --> 00:05:50,409
having all the fan headers in one line
147
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:52,525
at the top of the case makes complete
148
00:05:52,526 --> 00:05:55,840
sense and it's much easier for cable
149
00:05:55,841 --> 00:05:57,595
management now I did run into one issue
150
00:05:57,596 --> 00:06:00,325
with my ex 299 built in the define 7
151
00:06:00,326 --> 00:06:02,500
because the power connectors on this
152
00:06:02,501 --> 00:06:04,914
motherboard are only on the right side
153
00:06:04,915 --> 00:06:07,839
and the power connectors on my cooler
154
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,990
master power supply could not go through
155
00:06:10,991 --> 00:06:13,479
the cable hole because of the fan hub so
156
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,480
in most of the cases this is not going
157
00:06:16,481 --> 00:06:18,069
to be an issue at all but I'm just
158
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,520
putting it out there so you can keep it
159
00:06:18,521 --> 00:06:19,570
in mind
160
00:06:19,571 --> 00:06:21,520
now as you expect to building a system
161
00:06:21,521 --> 00:06:23,185
in a case of this size is very easy
162
00:06:23,186 --> 00:06:24,835
because you have plenty of space to work
163
00:06:24,836 --> 00:06:26,530
in you can put any components you had in
164
00:06:26,531 --> 00:06:28,390
mind and not worry about the size and
165
00:06:28,391 --> 00:06:30,444
you have plenty of space for cable
166
00:06:30,445 --> 00:06:33,819
management now because I got a white
167
00:06:33,820 --> 00:06:36,610
- version of the defined 7 I decided to go.
- For a very light build as well so here I.
168
00:06:36,613 --> 00:06:37,828
Have the ACE
169
00:06:37,829 --> 00:06:41,039
prime x299 edition 30 motherboard that
170
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,010
is the special edition motherboard they
171
00:06:44,011 --> 00:06:46,829
released for their 30th anniversary
172
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:50,519
there is a 10 generation Intel Core i 9
173
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,699
in there 10900 X there is 32 gigabytes
174
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:57,750
of corsair dominator platinum RGB memory
175
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,850
and there is the RT x 2080 dual from.
176
00:06:59,851 --> 00:07:02,759
Asus for a GPU now I had some extension
177
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,794
cables from
178
00:07:03,795 --> 00:07:06,494
coolermaster that I used here that are
179
00:07:06,495 --> 00:07:09,795
also white and black and I used cooler
180
00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:12,750
master v650 power supply as well I
181
00:07:12,751 --> 00:07:16,379
think it came out really well but even
182
00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:18,060
with the high power system like this it
183
00:07:18,061 --> 00:07:20,550
still looks a bit empty so considering
184
00:07:20,551 --> 00:07:23,340
the fact that you can fit so many
185
00:07:23,341 --> 00:07:24,825
different fans and radiators in this
186
00:07:24,826 --> 00:07:27,255
case a custom cooling would be super
187
00:07:27,256 --> 00:07:30,149
nice and keep in mind the mate is very
188
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,909
easy because you can actually remove the
189
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:35,429
whole top part of the case install your
190
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:37,380
radiators and fans outside and then put
191
00:07:37,381 --> 00:07:40,470
it back in now as for the define 7xl I
192
00:07:40,471 --> 00:07:44,399
decided to go for a nice thread Ripper
193
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,750
build so here we have the extended ATX
194
00:07:47,751 --> 00:07:51,359
motherboards from Asus this is asus rog
195
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,629
zennith 2 extreme there is a thread.
196
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:57,389
Ripper 3960 X in there there is a be
197
00:07:57,390 --> 00:08:01,170
quiet tear for cooler and there is a
198
00:08:01,171 --> 00:08:03,959
r-tx 2080 super gaming extreme from msi
199
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,900
and even though this is an insane system
200
00:08:06,901 --> 00:08:08,609
it never looked smaller then again it's
201
00:08:08,610 --> 00:08:10,949
kind of cool that you can use and build
202
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:13,920
a high-end system like this and still
203
00:08:13,921 --> 00:08:16,849
have space for 18 hard drives and two
204
00:08:16,850 --> 00:08:19,830
hands full of SSDs I mean look it up
205
00:08:19,831 --> 00:08:21,630
even though both cases can fit a ton of
206
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:24,600
fans they come with 340 millimeter fans
207
00:08:24,601 --> 00:08:27,689
by default two in the front and one in
208
00:08:27,690 --> 00:08:30,329
the back and that is what I tested the
209
00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:32,729
cases with now consider the fact that
210
00:08:32,730 --> 00:08:34,889
both rigs are pretty powerful neither
211
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:36,389
case had any issues keeping the
212
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,340
temperatures under control
213
00:08:38,341 --> 00:08:40,439
now considering the closed front I'd say
214
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,899
the thermals were surprisingly good in
215
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,090
gaming neither bill broke a sweat
216
00:08:45,091 --> 00:08:47,610
and even when stressing the CPU and the.
217
00:08:47,611 --> 00:08:50,220
GPU at the same time temperatures
218
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:50,535
remained very comfortable showing plenty
219
00:08:50,536 --> 00:08:52,155
of headroom
220
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:54,674
for overclocking now both do a good job
221
00:08:54,675 --> 00:08:57,750
at limiting the noise as well even with
222
00:08:57,751 --> 00:09:00,448
fans at 100% under stress
223
00:09:00,449 --> 00:09:03,240
all you heard from the excel belt was a
224
00:09:03,241 --> 00:09:05,219
gentle little breeze the only reason the
225
00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:07,680
defined seven build made a bit more
226
00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:10,290
noise was because of the fans on the
227
00:09:10,291 --> 00:09:13,049
olden one cooler that are a bit louder
228
00:09:13,050 --> 00:09:15,509
so I actually limited those fans to 40
229
00:09:15,510 --> 00:09:17,849
decibels at 50 centimetres distance for
230
00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:20,278
testing as I think that is a very nice
231
00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:20,984
noise limit for a system under load now
232
00:09:20,985 --> 00:09:23,639
if you stick a nice quiet cooler in
233
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,269
there you'll have no issues keeping a
234
00:09:26,270 --> 00:09:28,560
high-end rig like this whisper quiet
235
00:09:28,561 --> 00:09:30,959
alright so that's it for the defined
236
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,738
seven and define seven accel and I have
237
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:33,494
to say I'm really struggling to find
238
00:09:33,495 --> 00:09:35,415
something to complain about I mean
239
00:09:35,416 --> 00:09:38,100
they're not super innovative cases with
240
00:09:38,101 --> 00:09:40,620
mind-blowing features that are gonna
241
00:09:40,621 --> 00:09:42,420
change the case market in 2020 but they
242
00:09:42,421 --> 00:09:45,120
do have those small innovations that are
243
00:09:45,121 --> 00:09:47,578
making working with these cases and only
244
00:09:47,579 --> 00:09:50,159
in this case is just a bit nicer so
245
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,838
they're objectively excellent cases they
246
00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:54,269
have excellent build quality they have
247
00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:56,790
excellent finish there have plenty of
248
00:09:56,791 --> 00:09:58,948
space you can fit any reasonable or an
249
00:09:58,949 --> 00:10:00,554
unreasonable system in there and they
250
00:10:00,555 --> 00:10:03,344
perform really well now the only problem
251
00:10:03,345 --> 00:10:05,624
that I see here is that the price of the
252
00:10:05,625 --> 00:10:08,938
defined series went a bit up with these
253
00:10:08,939 --> 00:10:10,574
cases while some cheaper cases got
254
00:10:10,575 --> 00:10:13,124
better due to some smart cost cuts so if
255
00:10:13,125 --> 00:10:15,299
you take mesh if I see for example that
256
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:19,198
costs about half as much of these cases
257
00:10:19,199 --> 00:10:20,818
it will offer pretty much everything
258
00:10:20,819 --> 00:10:23,669
that most of you out there need so that
259
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:26,019
kinda puts these cases out of the
260
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:28,659
mainstream and into more of a niche
261
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:30,930
segment for people that do want
262
00:10:30,931 --> 00:10:33,899
something more premium for their
263
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:35,399
high-end rigs or custom loops or just
264
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,979
want a lot of storage options which puts
265
00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:41,188
to define Excel into an even more
266
00:10:41,189 --> 00:10:43,919
difficult situation because the defined
267
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,289
seven fits so much already so your needs
268
00:10:46,290 --> 00:10:50,610
need to be really specific to go for a
269
00:10:50,611 --> 00:10:53,219
full tower like this but if you really
270
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:55,199
like this cases and your wallet doesn't
271
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,180
mind I would say just go for it they're
272
00:10:55,198 --> 00:10:57,884
an excellent choice now that's it for
273
00:10:57,885 --> 00:10:59,879
today thank you so much for watching let
274
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,620
me know in the comments down below what
275
00:11:01,621 --> 00:11:03,328
do you think about these new cases and
276
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:05,100
about this review don't forget to
277
00:11:03,328 --> 00:11:06,189
subscribe give me thumbs up and see you
278
00:11:06,190 --> 00:11:12,219
