Nowadays, many players have a special liking for the side-through chassis. Almost all new chassis come with a side-to-side view, in order to show off their own hardware, but can the side view truly satisfy their needs? Patriot’s Moonlight Box is a fiery, three-sided tempered glass frameless side, fully meet the needs of the players, to fully understand this term, especially those who have considered the water, out of the The effect is excellent. Considering that there will be a chance to go back to the water in the future, we will start with this Patriot Moonlight Box X box. Let's take a look at this box first.
Moonlight Box X this box in the appearance of color value because there are three full-sided tempered glass design, so that the entire box more atmospheric, simple and clean Fan more low-key luxury.
It is necessary to talk about packaging design, there are a total of two large carton packaging, taking into account the tempered glass may encounter violent delivery in the transport process, so the design needs to use two large boxes, which use a huge foam sponge Protection, play a certain role in the protection of the glass surface of the chassis, you can see the details from the packaging, to prove that this product is indeed sincere. Here to look at the basic parameters of the Patriot Yuguang Bao box X, the chassis size believe that we are most concerned about It is compatible with ATX/M-ATX and other board types.
Let's look at this box, three reflective surfaces, so I was very difficult to take pictures, but in order to reflect his real glass effect, I decided not to post, or the mirror out of P, also quite ugly . The weight of this box is 7.42KG. It can be seen that it is a thick guy. Tempered glass is fixed with 4 screws that can be turned by hand. It must be known that the screws must not be tightened too tightly, otherwise the glass The board will have the possibility of bursting, so it is basically OK to fix it.
There is a warm tip in the upper corner of the case. The glass is carefully put on the word. After all, it is a glass product, so this must be handled with care in the disassembly process.
In addition to the top of the chassis, tempered glass side-through design is adopted on all three sides. The top of the chassis is equipped with a dust-proof net design. The magnetic suction design facilitates cleaning in addition to a very good adhesion.
The official description of the tempered glass thickness of Moonlight Box X is 4mm, which is thicker than inwin805 3mm tempered glass, so it should be better in strength and collision resistance.
Let's take a look at the meaning of this Moonlight Box. Is there really a treasure inside? After the three-sided tempered glass is removed, the internal structure of the chassis can be seen. The Patriot Moonlight Box X adopts a split-type structure. The power supply position and the hard disk cage are independent from each other. This way, the large heat-generating units of the host can not interfere with each other. The independent cooling air duct also facilitates heat dissipation and gives the player sufficient space to play. . CPU fan backplane mounting hole is large enough, there are 10 track layout, upper CPU position 3, right side 4, independent power supply compartment 3, there is a need for a friend of this box is definitely a good line box.
In my opinion, these routing holes are very important. Many boxes do not have the design of these wiring holes. The power cables can only be extended on the back of the chassis, which will reduce the simplicity of the overall back wiring. Several trace holes can be used to extend the 6+2pin line of the graphics card. It is very useful.
The big Aigo LOGO is located on the edge of the chassis. It has a LED breathing light design and is bursting with faith.
Take a look at the front panel of the chassis, using a honeycomb hollow design, air inlet, and light transmission are excellent, I believe the light transmission effect will be very good.
The top position of the chassis is the host key button, LED light control key, where you can freely switch the light effect, 7 in the shining, 3 modes, there is always a light pollution that suits you. In addition, boot, restart, USB3.01 + USB2.02 + HD AUDIO multimedia interfaces and other standard must all be available.
Take a look at the back of the chassis, power independent storage has become a popular element in the current chassis design, the use of split-type structure Patriot Moonlight X box is certainly not an exception, this design has a convenient heat dissipation, easy to replace, etc., while In terms of cabling, it is also possible to hide excess power cords, so that the overall effect is better. The installation of the hard disk compartment is also very convenient. The installation of the screw-free tool is not necessary, and the hard disk is added or removed at any time, eliminating a lot of trouble.
This fan pin design solves a lot of problems. It needs a large number of fan pin connectors on the motherboard. However, it is also the same aesthetic problem. There is a line flying here and there is a line coming out as a Virgo. Absolutely unbearable, this design is enough to satisfy all my fan pin problems. The 6-pin jack and 4-pin jack are all the same.
The hub is no stranger to most players who love the cleanliness. The Patriot Moonbox X design the hub on the back, which is suitable for players with higher requirements on the alignment.
Designed with a separate SSD mounting position on the back of the chassis
Moonlight Box X chassis is equipped with three 120mm LED colorful lights on the front panel. It is connected to the hub of the back and can be “dimmed†by the LED control button in the I/O area at the top of the chassis. With three light fans can be on the 240 cold row (note that not 360 cold row), visual inspection of this box on the water effect as much as 805; the track hole is also designed to protect the rubber used for the track, can be very good protection The patriots did a good job with the wire and details.
to sum up
Compared with the mode of adopting the acrylic side, the Patriot Moonlight Box X uses tempered glass design on the three sides of the chassis to improve the product positioning and grade; the split structure leaves the player more. The free play space, especially the standard light bar, light fan is more like the love of the light pollution player; 3 side of the toughened glass than the loss of the family's younger brother that section is also thick 1mm, worthy of praise; the maximum support card length is 420mm, what three fans, PLUS graphics card easily eat, want to play high-end you come.
Of course, this chassis is not only an advantage, such as: HUB's hub interface is 6pin, and the market's common 3pin, 4pin in the compatibility problem is more prominent; moreover, although the sense of tempered glass is not only above the high A grade, but the problem of fingerprints, dust is also more obvious; in addition is the front heat sink provides 120mm3 fan position, but can not be compatible with 360mm cold row installation.
The last question may also be a concern for all DIY enthusiasts. Although this product looks like a twin brother of the 805, it has a lot of graciousness in terms of selling price. I believe this is a high value, high grade, low price. The box should be able to get some good reviews from the mass players.
