Fractal Design Define XL USB 3.0 Black Pearl Computer Case Unboxing

[aDAMPis1913]

arrr

[xUnknownProductionsx]

The antec 1100 is much better, cheaper, easier removal of the dust filters, better for cable managment, more places to put fans, toolless hdd/ssd bays. What more could you want??

[xUnknownProductionsx]

@alexsketcher quad-sli 580's (1 580 is two gpus, if you didn't know)

[cutiekazoe10]

@xUnknownProductionsx 1 580 has 2 GPUS? you might want to take another look at your previous comment buddy =)

[TheSirDerpsalot]

I was just wondering this, what exactly do you do with all of these awesome cases and other PC hardware after you unbox it and make a video and show its features, do you sell it? Or send it back to your suppliers? Or do you just get to keep it?

[MrWazzzzaappp]

Nice, where can I find the full review of the Fractal Design Define XL USB 3.0 Black Pearl Case?

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

Does the black pearl version of this case have a shinny black brushed aluminum door like the silver version? I mean is the black reflective on this version of the case?

[TechKidzUK]

I used this exact case for my server/NAS computer build.

[junitono1]

CAPTAIN ELRIC!!! HELP!!!

This case or the Obsidian 650D?

[XxModoxX]

I have this case and i thinking to saw 2 140mm holes in the top so i can put a 140x2mm radiator but overall i love this case

[TelepathicT]

awesome wish it had a side window though.

[sebbe321]

Sweden fuck ye!

[SupaFreshAlways]

im a noobie and i cant see how you would put a cd drive in there because it seems like there is a fan covering it

[iamsmert123]

@SupaFreshAlways There are mesh screens over each bay where you can put an HDD or DVD drive. Pretty standard for a lot of cases.

[SupaFreshAlways]

@iamsmert123 yea but in video, theres a fan covering the drives, do you have to remove the fan to place a driver in there?

[MrMega200]

@SupaFreshAlways There is room for a DVD drive. The filter for a 120mm fan in the front does not take up the space for a DVD drive in the top spot. It's the important thing since you've been given options. You can have a DVD drive and a filtered 120mm fan or remove the 120mm filter and add more 5.25" drives.

[MUnitProductions]

He is not goldberg ! ELRIC is the name

[findthecomputerroom6]

is the black pearl in the name just the colour, im looking for a new case and on the website im on it is grey, are there any different features or is it just the colour?

[cryteeek]

looool ive had this case for more than 1 year XD

[Ofarrell86]

love the sound effects ^^

[4ntifi]

Irish Pirate. Sounds Legit.

[SpadeAce90]

the CPU cut out seems to be closed

[t3hsilent1]

uve been opening too many things, u need to sharpen that thing lol. its prolly opened a billion boxes

[MrTurient]

black and white

[ryley92]

you are one crazy mother fucker, lol, i love your videos keep em coming

[lowrider649]

Hey Goldburge i don't know if you'll reply to this but i am a water cooling enthusiast and well i'm that type of person that would look at a case and try and utalize every single fan space with a radiator so i can get the best temps for my computer. Right now i have a fractal design arc mid tower but with three internal mounted radiators and im looking to switch up cases but im finding it hard to find a case where i can utalize all fan spaces like the arc midi... can you offer me your opinion???

[motherboardsorg]

@lowrider649 I will take a look tomorrow my man,, NP :-)

[lowrider649]

@motherboardsorg Thankyou :)

[riceplo]

KITTY! :D  6:05

[HobbieZones]

Love the sound when the strap is cut LOL at 1:30 

[predality]

lol



[jessehalloween]

I'm thinking about getting this case, but I was wondering how difficult it is to remove the fan filters for the front 140mm fans? I've yet to see a video where they remove it, curious though because the filters on my current case fill up quick and I need to clean them 1-2 times a week! So I'm hoping it's pretty easy and tooless for removing it from that Define XL. Keep up the awesome vids Elric!

[wassimzombi]

Hawly shit Only 150$ ?! this is a masterpiece !

[MiHaItZza01]

no reset button ???? :o

[frozenyoghurtify]

@MiHaItZza01 the reset button is inside the door.

[98GuitarTECH]

Do a review on the fractal axe fx ii

[Tweaty14]

them introes... THE BEST!!

[nautika1]

hahahah bravo :)



[YbrFinX]

Whoa! That really is a neat case! Wondering how Fractal is capable of making all their cases so simple and beautiful at the same time... :)

[mcgrathc123]

I'm a pirate and i find this very offensive!

[frozenyoghurtify]

6:35 u dirty thing

[frozenyoghurtify]

Swedish design , best case there is.. XL is not nice tho

[nousername21]

They should replace the white colors with simple black!

[soldier106343]

When you gonna do a game pc Give away :( Im working my ass off like 2 years and cant aford a freaking game pc PFF

[EarthWorms77]

Please choose me for the giveaway, I have a server processor with AGP graphics... I beg of you

[lMX14l]

Whats the thing at the top inside? you missed it

[motherboardsorg]

@lMX14l Reset button sorry, i missed that and a top fan,,

[lMX14l]

@motherboardsorg Oh I get it, you made me buy this case (must be the pirate voice)

[FictitiousMe]

@lMX14l Its a 180mm exhaust fan, angled and held by a plastic bracket.

[canvoodoo]

Nice review Elric be nice for running a daw rig in it.

[HobbieZones]

That is a SWEET case. All the drive bays and wire hide spots make this a case to buy.

[boomstick68]

What was that? A Scottish pirate?

[gomerfa]

I have seen you in porn, im sure of it.

[16kbobby]

where is the restart button ?

[naveslaikss]

i will never make a mistake of putting my pc close to the ground >.>

[vadheterable]

@naveslaikss why not? I sometimes place my case low on ground... is there something wrong in that?

[naveslaikss]

@vadheterable gets shitloads of dust in it

[vadheterable]

@naveslaikss ok thanx

[Falken3137]

At 8:16 it's not an extra rear, it's for the included fan controller xD

[lolzayamumlioncar]

What the fuck is that face on your table?

[Martinx88813]

Hows the doggy? LOL the kitty wanted to be on the video too...

[AreYouWomenOrMen]

you forgot to say about the awesome fan on the top!

[riveraluciano]

I really like this one, minimalistic and clean design, i have to ask though, whats the price?

[motherboardsorg]

@riveraluciano $150.00

[HybridGamingHD1]

@motherboardsorg when i buy something im gonna call you and you can unbox it

[motherboardsorg]

@HybridGamingHD1 OK

[MAJOR51209]

@motherboardsorg any good case under 130$

[HybridGamingHD1]

@motherboardsorg hey ive noticed some unusal stuttering sound/movement when i play games or random green screen flash would it be my gpu

[delirious152000]

@motherboardsorg only? damn good price

[HEAVYBULLETS3]

@motherboardsorg stormtrooper or this?

[muiebecali]

@motherboardsorg if u ever get bored of music start acting (joke)

[PlasmaSC]

6:07 kitty in the background <3

[AeroFix94]

already? you are late dude.

[rb26capri]

its like the p180 case.. i don't think it will have good air flow

[smirndirnz]

Be sweet if u had some better lighting so we could see the inside better, but not to worry man I still watch your vids cause you kick ass :D

[dexter7861]

i didnt understood that what you said in intro

[FMGProductions100]

Oh dude, I DIED when you stuck your fingers in the grommets... Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen!

[VladimirLemLem]

Decent looking case!!!

Lian-Li makes great "straight line" cases as well.

[snipesAndrew123]

Not a bad case, I also like the $70 - $200 price range!!! I might get this. Nice unboxing!

[96stewie96]

If Biff baxter had his own pc and he water cooled it, I wonder if he would store his alcohol and keep it cool. We need to find out!

[HadesRifle]

Your an awesome reviewer!!! Keep at it!!!

[laundryman200]

Looks like a well built case I like ..:)

[sam9165]

Could you please start to put in a link for places to buy the thing you unbox or just the price?

Us YouTubers are to lazy to google search for it.

[galesx95]

Waiting for CRAZY unboxing - review of the HD 7950!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[motherboardsorg]

@galesx95 Look in about 2 minutes,,,

[MyThePooP]

@motherboardsorg porn

[KiraDNz]

@motherboardsorg 6 minutes ago. :D I'm waiting like everyone else that saw your "2 minutes" comment

[SilentValtiel8]

Captain Elric Sparrow xD

[rysliv]

a usb thing you must plug into the i/o for your motherboard just for frontpanel usb, is a big failure for the manufacturer, theres obviously onboard usb on motherboards.

[3r3turn]

so this case is just like there old Fractal Design Define XL case, but just with USB3.

[123warlord123]

you just needed a sharper knife ;)

[XBATHORYX13]

Hello Elric, great unboxing! I love this case!, The only thing i dislike about cases with front door panels is that they swing to the left only, ive seen a case that lets you open it both ways but i dont remember which one, see the thing is i like my case on my right and on my desk, so i would like the door to swing to the right, or both ways....

cheers

[yosef019]

6:06 LOL the cat

i think HAF 932 is best for air cooling No?

[RalphCQ]

lol i like those little sound effects that are added in there for comic effect... like at 1:29

[UltraVert]

I wish they would make a white version of this case... it would be epic.

[facebag666]

this unboxing reminds me of the old cartoons where they dont show adult faces

[ironlunatic1]

Hey Goldburge, i finally subscribed to your channel cuz your the best video card reviewer on youtube. Thanks for the good work.

[motherboardsorg]

@ironlunatic1 Thank you,,

[BlueFlameOut]

Hmmm, Scottish sounding pirate. Nice! :)

[StreamNintendo]

@ 3:40 Alien!!!!!

[MrDragonknight94]

Hi um... hey erm.. i have a question

are sata 1 hdd's compatible with Sata 2 motherboards?

thx

[TalesOfWar]

@MrDragonknight94 Yep. They just won't take advantage of the extra bandwidth SATA 2 has.

[XDachsOX]

You need to sharpen your knife, you know its bad if the serrated edge has a hard time...

[TehTurtleMan1]

Why is there a walker in the corner?

[TalesOfWar]

@TehTurtleMan1 He had an operation on his foot a while back that removed part of it due to an infection, so he uses (or used at least) it to help him get around while he recovered.

[habowh43]

I'm not sure whether I should get this or an Antec P280...

[DainnCrowley2000]

6:06 CAT IN THA DOOR

[TheNinjaNaren]

i look at new cases, and i just always find myself running back to corsair. thumbs up if u do the same!!!!

[WaterMation08]

meow :3 6:06

[murrayniallthamas]

really thinking of swapping my 1200 out with one of these or else the normal version.

I really like the cleans looks of this case. The 1200 is getting a bit long in the tooth now.

[soundeuphoria]

You really need a sharper knife lmao

[cwnicol]

that was some odd combination of pirate, Scottish and Russian accents right there...

[To0t]

@aneeshwar47 elric and linus is probably two of the best reviewers and unboxers on youtube, i actually prioritize their videos to watch first among other daily uploaded vids

[moonjelly84]

dude, your knife needs sharpening.

[MACHOGOPHER]

good review but look at the kiteah at 6:07!

[bathewater]

good review, been looking at buying one of these

[LipidSama]

I love the noise cancelling material. I like the front door. No windows. No fisher price LED colors everywhere. The older I get the plane jane towers look way better. They go under the desk, out of sight out of mind. Lets you focus more on the game. Cons; The white inside. Why would they make the HDD trays white? It sticks out like a sore thumb. Everything should have been black on black on black. Than they really could have called it 'the black pearl'. With the white looks more like a penguin.

[KomTerra]

And thanks for sharing....

[Methylsulfoxid]

not sure what to make of this case,

after watchting its review from hardwarecanucks and their ciriticism i was a little bit astonished you didnt find any fault with this case.

probably its just because you just did an unboxing and the other one was a full review, i hope your not just beeing biased because you have friends over at fractal design ;)

kind regards

[motherboardsorg]

@Methylsulfoxid An unboxing is just that an unboxing, what did the Canadians have against it mate?

[Methylsulfoxid]

@motherboardsorg the angled top fan causes some issues, for example it blocks the 8pin mainboard connector on most boards, can be in the way of CPU fans and leaves no option for watercooling solutions, you explained that one though. another problem is the PSU cable cutout, which is not large enough for long power supplies. aaand no toolless design... yeah. by the way, love it that you actually read the comments and reply to some ;) keep up the good videos

[Finchpcrepair]

@Methylsulfoxid If you would like an in depth review of this case, you can check out Timetolivecustoms review of this case inside and out.

[asdref1234]

He's getting RED!

[turnercarl]

hay are you the voice coach for johnney depp. also have you been a extra in one off his films

[joriei]

I miss the kitchen knife

[mystery512]

An Irish pirate?

[Surveylol]

Are you ready to beat some as* Elric. You know the guy you mentioned.

[robthatguyx]

really who need 11 hdd bays..

[GrogTheRed]

I couldn't tell if you were going for a bad impersonation of an Irish Sheep herder or drunken sailor on a dark pier.

[motherboardsorg]

@GrogTheRed LOL Me either,, :-)

[randomraretutorials]

@motherboardsorg How about, and Irish Drunken Sailor? XD

[lilAznFaith]

5:00

[rstan58]

Hel Elric with this fit a asus direct cuii gtx 580?

[mattluvsvox]

haha elric your crazy, funny intro

[Pollack007]

This case or the Corsair 550D?

[blonger32]

no reset on the front is kinda shitty

[KenGlivebe]

@blonger32 There actually is a reset button in the front but it's behind the panel. Have to open the door to find it.

[dgo401]

how much does that case cost? is it expensive?? :O it looks cool though and very nice video Elric.

[JVettori1]

mad azz sound affects lol

[muhriz1]

what do you do with stuff after you unbox them?

[21guitarpenter]

sharpen your knife please.

[Aolen75]

too plain for my liking.Looks well made though if ya in to the clean straight look.

[webb1141]

Impressive case and design.

[thetraitor666]

are you crazy or something ;)

[nolanbrewski]

Ok so first, right off the bat, Elric abused the case. Right off the bat

[dartleg13]

I feel like this guy talks to kindergarteners ...

[thejspace302]

haha ... fingerholes

[thejspace302]

haha .. fingerholes

[SlepTuveGaming]

Where's your dog?

[Rowsol84]

You should dress like the heavy from TF2 and play sound clips while mouthing the words. Would be funny.

[Ir1shM3talhead]

mexican pirate?

[shadowcrone]

box came undamaged? that is a first lol....cool looking case though.

[skyw4lka]

[CJAEY]

6:37

[MUnitProductions]

*arrrghhhhh*

[Kevinkoch2443]

[modar]

[GeEEZZUSS]

im the only one who got that green flicker?

[3nimac]

@GeEEZZUSS no i got it too

[3nimac]

Oh that top exhaust that goes to the back is brilliant! This case would be perfect for my cat, she loves to sleep on the case. :)

[Sniper2k1]

Looks like a very good case. I'd look into it for my next build but I need room for a Rad so I might look else where

[ilovemycomputer2]

this case has nice features but it looks down right ugly to me

[StigmatiX]

I'm waiting for the NZXT Switch 810. It looks beyond sexy.

[latenighthero41]

Everytime I see you pull out a knife, I'm hoping that this is the video where you kill yourself.

[motherboardsorg]

@latenighthero41 Sorry to disappoint you, LOL

[dragonkknight]

@motherboardsorg but you do love your knife :)

[atixamd]

@latenighthero41 Fuck off troll.

[SwampBoyJ]

@latenighthero41 ...that's fucked up... You don't wish death on anyone, no matter what. it's fucked up, Grow the fuck up dude.

[Willie6785]

I GOTTA KNOW. What song is that in the background at the intro? I heard it somewhere else and I really wanna know its name or some info on it

[misterxrato]

I'm thinking what him will gonna do in the 666° vídeo.
