● Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer outside the analysis
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer Reference Price: Reading... Overview of image review quote parameters
The big buffalo prophet Farseer chassis is made of high-strength, high-toughness, high-quality aviation aluminum material. The front panel of the chassis is clean and without any characters and decorations, which is more exquisite and noble. At the top, there is a radium carved big buffalo English LOGO "BUBALUS", which is more youthful and fashionable, and it is also very much in line with the image positioning of the prophet Farseer's future sense of technology. In addition, the front panel and top plate of the chassis are designed with aluminum brushed panels, which is full of metal feeling. The front panel of the chassis does not open or close or open the design, visible chassis does not set the optical drive position, this is the need for optical drive users to pay attention to. This prophet Farseer chassis has two colors of space silver and interstellar black, space silver simple temperament, interstellar black fashion cool, perfect to meet the aesthetic needs of a variety of different consumers. Entering our evaluation lab this time is the Space Silver Color Matching Chassis.
Schematic of the big buffalo prophet Farseer side plate
Prophet Farseer uses a full-area brown crystal double-sided translucent design. Compared with the ordinary side panel side-through design, the oracle's crystalline full-side view design perfectly shows every move inside the chassis, will not cover up the cool light because the side view area is too small, and can better meet the players who love "light pollution".

Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer I/O Zone
The I/O zone of the Prophet Farseer chassis is set at the top front of the chassis. The top of the chassis has 1 USB3.0 connector, 2 USB2.0 ports, I/O interface and power switch restart button.
Schematic diagram at the bottom of the Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer
Prophet Farseer has two vents at the bottom of the chassis, both with removable dust mesh to reduce the chance of dust entering the power supply. In addition, the chassis adopts a high-leg design, which is conducive to the convection of the air at the bottom of the chassis, so that the power supply can better dissipate heat.
Schematic diagram of the back of the Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer
As can be seen from the schematic on the back, the prophet Farseer uses a power supply downside design. In addition, this chassis has seven PCI slots, and the configuration of seven slots is enough to meet the needs of users who pursue performance for dual-card platforms, even three-card platforms. And it is convenient for the installation of other expansion hardware, and has good compatibility. In terms of thermal configuration, the chassis provides a 120mm fan slot. The design of the back of the chassis is also relatively comprehensive, and the 120mm fan position and 7 PCI expansion ports can meet the needs of different players.

● The Great Buffalo Prophet Farseer Internal Appreciation
Overview of the interior of the Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer
The Prophet Farseer chassis excels in internal compatibility, with perfect internal compatibility with ATX, M-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, 390mm gaming graphics and up to 170mm CPU heatsinks. The chassis adopts a separate unique heat dissipation, integrated enclosed power supply and hard disk independent package, which effectively isolates the noise and heat generated by the power supply and hard disk operation, optimizes the air duct, and thus reduces heat and sound. In addition, the front panel of the chassis can be installed with two 120mm/140mm fans, the rear can be installed with a 120mm fan, front and rear support 120mm water cooling drain device, so that the host to achieve the perfect heat dissipation effect.
Nowadays, the creation of handmade DIY water cooling has always been high fever, and there is a trend of increasing popularity. As can also be seen from the figure, the Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer chassis supports pure manual water-cooled installation. Whether it is a brilliant transparent spiral tube or a sinuous shiny metal tube, the colorful water-cooled liquid rotates freely at will, bringing unexpected visual effects under the rendering of light pollution, and at the same time bringing more efficient heat dissipation effects to the entire platform.
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer back line
Prophet Farseer chassis has a large back line space inside, and the use of scientific and reasonable bit hole back line design, accurate measurement of each hole position, optimization of the trace trajectory, perfect hidden line. At the same time, the air duct obstruction is reduced and the heat dissipation function is optimized.
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer split power supply down
Prophet Farseer chassis adopts a standard split power supply down design, power supply and hard disk bits using independent warehouse design isolated from the motherboard, this design can make the power supply have independent air duct, suction cold air to exclude heat alone, do not participate in the box air exchange, heat dissipation is more convenient. In addition, it can also avoid the situation that the various components of the chassis interfere with each other to dissipate heat, and at the same time hide the power line to make the interior of the chassis look cleaner.
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer 3.5-inch hard drive bit
The Prophet Farseer chassis features two 3.5-inch hard drive slots with a quick-release design that can be removed or mounted with a gentle push, and the overall ease of use is good. The 2.5-inch hard drive is located on the back panel of the chassis, there are 2, and it needs to be screwed to install.
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer PCI slot bitmap
Like other mid-tower chassis, the Prophet Farseer chassis also has 7 PCI expansion ports on the back, and the configuration of seven slots is enough to meet the needs of users who pursue performance for dual-card platforms, and even the three-card platform is not a problem. It is convenient for the installation of other expansion hardware and has good compatibility.
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer front fan position
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer back fan bit
Prophet Farseer has two 120mm or 140mm cooling fans on the front panel of the chassis, and one 120mm cooling fan can be installed on the back of the chassis. Both front and rear support 120mm water cooling drainage device, perfectly compatible with water cooling device, so that air cooling and water cooling are perfectly combined, fully solve the heat dissipation problem inside the chassis, and make the operation of the platform more stable and efficient.
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer main tray thickness
Big Buffalo Prophet Farseer side plate thickness
The thickness test of the big buffalo prophet Farseer chassis motherboard pallet and side plate showed that the chassis motherboard pallet thickness was 1.182mm and the side plate thickness was 2.772mm. The main pallet is thick and the side plates are thick enough to protect the internals of the chassis and effectively prevent electromagnetic radiation leakage.
PConline Lab Summary:
Price: For the price of 399 yuan, the Prophet Farseer comprehensive is very worth pursuing the ultimate high-end gamers to start. In terms of appearance, the chassis is larger than the average chassis, and the material is thick and sincere. The internal structure of the chassis is designed reasonably, and the details are handled meticulously, which is indeed a good chassis and is worth starting.
Performance: Prophet Farseer is compatible with large and medium-sized motherboards, no longer bound to the installation needs of DIY players, leaving players with huge experience space. Both the front and rear of the chassis can support 120mm water-cooled drain installation, supporting split water cooling. The chassis can be equipped with a long 390mm graphics card and a 170mm tower CPU heatsink for perfect compatibility. The chassis's discrete unique heat dissipation, integrated enclosed power supply and drive independent package effectively isolate the noise and heat generated by the power supply and hard disk operation, optimize the air duct, and thus reduce heat and sound more quietly. Prophet Farseer is well-constructed and has a large amount of chassis content, making it ideal for high-end DIY gamers.
The big buffalo prophet Farseer adopts an aluminum brushed panel design, with a full area of brown crystal side translucency, the appearance is low-key and not ostentatious, but vaguely revealing domineering. Strong sense of science and technology, exquisite and mature technology, and intrinsic performance, much higher than other products at the same price, now the price of 399 yuan, I believe it will also have a certain impact on the market.
