1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,200 PC system manufacturers like MSI and Gigabyte have released some fantastic 2 00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:13,400 small form factor gaming machines in the last couple of years but they all have 3 00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:21,480 the same disadvantage nonstandard and in many 4 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:24,439 cases non upgradable components no you 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:31,599 have to leave it to the hardcore enthusiasts Pioneers like Lucas diacon 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,680 to break free from what has become the 7 00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,960 way to build a small form factor gaming 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:42,239 rig ITX motherboards with a single 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:46,360 graphics card are out natx motherboards 10 00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:48,480 with dual graphics cards are in oh and 11 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:55,559 did I mention that this thing is liquid cooled and under 15 L making it only 12 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,920 slightly bigger than the corser one so 13 00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:01,920 strap on my friends cuz this going to be 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920 good 15 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:16,400 Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers 16 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,079 at once check it out now at the link in the video 17 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:25,240 description I feel like we should start with one small problem project orthis 18 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,720 named for the mythological Greek two-headed dog is not for sale yet this 19 00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,600 one was actually built by our friends at Proto case they do great work the rack 20 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:42,079 mount gaming case they built for me is still going strong so it's no surprise 21 00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:46,200 then that Lucas went to them with his 22 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:49,520 incredible design and they got to work 23 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,399 every component was laser cut inhouse 24 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:57,960 the front panel details and rear IO not to mention the badass front logo were 25 00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:04,320 milled out the radiator holder was routered out the mother motherboard tray 26 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,719 and SSD holder were bent they pressed in 27 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:13,120 all the rivets standoffs and threaded nuts routered the side panel and put the 28 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:18,879 whole thing together with a beautiful coat of their Proto Legacy black powder 29 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:22,840 coating a couple revisions of that and 30 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,800 this is what landed on our doorstep 31 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:30,239 still some assembly required though am I right we actually needed two care 32 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:35,560 packages to assemble our case the one from protoc case that was unidentifiable 33 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:42,159 as a case other than the main chassis frame and one from Lucas himself that 34 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:49,560 included among other things a server power supply with custom rerouted 12volt 35 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,159 rails to support our dual graphics cards 36 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,239 and custom shorter cables I mean this thing is already way too cool we haven't 37 00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,280 even assembled it yet yours would of course come in a much more finished 38 00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:07,720 State though so we're going to fast forward to System Assembly front IO was 39 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:11,879 pretty straightforward dual USB 2 and 40 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:15,360 dual USB 3 with HDMI pass through for VR 41 00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:18,360 and a dope ass capacitive power button 42 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,519 are nice extras then it was time to move 43 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,040 on to core components we chose an Intel 44 00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:30,640 Core i7 6900k for maximum PCIe bandwidth for the 45 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,680 two PCI Express 16x slots on our ASUS 46 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,360 x99m WS motherboard and I'm pretty sure 47 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,760 the Ws stands for West SED cuz this thing is awesome we added a sprinkling 48 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:51,280 of Corsair Vengeance RGB memory on the side for maximum FPS and our 20040 mm 49 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:55,439 AIO goes in next but due to width 50 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,519 limitations there is a mere 55 mm of 51 00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:00,560 height available for the CPU block which 52 00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:05,560 is why we ended up using using an older generation Corsair 53 00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:10,560 h100i all right we're getting close now let's pop the graphics cards in the 54 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,760 design comes with brackets to fit a pair of 2 and 1/2 in drives on the 55 00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:20,359 motherboard side and a 3 and 1/2 in drive plus another 2 and 1/2 in to 56 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:27,400 piggyback on top in the second graphics card tray if you're not using it but we 57 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,680 are using it for twin GTX 1080 TI 58 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:37,320 Founders editions so there will be no junk in the backside for us these 59 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:40,039 shielded PCI Express risers go in now 60 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:46,479 note that one of them is actually more narrow than the other in order for the 61 00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:49,880 SLI Bridges to fit then we install the 62 00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:52,080 cards themselves it is a bit tricky as 63 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:59,240 the bottom card needs to be installed first then have its custom spliced and 64 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:05,440 extended SLI Bridges connected wrapped behind the tray and then powered up the 65 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,639 extra length of the SLI cables actually enables them to be hidden behind the 66 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:15,520 cards so you can show them off in their full SLI Glory now that the key 67 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:23,680 components are together it's time to Spruce the machine up with mucho RGB and 68 00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:27,639 tidier cabling H looks like a fun task 69 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:31,520 in such a tiny case let's uh summon the 70 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:34,240 comrade ah well that looked pretty easy 71 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:41,919 now let's check her out all tidied up and in her maximum RGB Glory ladies and 72 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:46,840 gents project orthis revision 73 00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:49,600 3 so from an idea to a 3D model to the 74 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:55,360 lowest displacement chassis to be able to run GTX 1080 TI 75 00:05:52,759 --> 00:06:00,039 SLI I don't think anything could have prepared me for something this 76 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:05,880 breathtakingly nerdalicious and the performance is shocking it's 77 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:12,639 really not that far off having these components on an open test bench and is 78 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:15,720 basically identical to having them in a 79 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,639 fullsize chassis in fact for the card 80 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:25,080 that would normally be suffocating in the top PCIe slot it's even better there 81 00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:33,319 is still some more work to be done our Aussie friend cannot hand wire and paint 82 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:36,000 every power supply for orthus buyers and 83 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:41,199 I think if we were to do another project with this case we'd probably reverse the 84 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:47,120 front fans to keep from recycling hot air and uh maybe make use of the 85 00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:52,520 included Reservoir Mount for a custom water loop but uh we'll save that for 86 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:58,759 another time for now for all intents and purposes mission accomplished you could 87 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,319 even say that uh now that's not a gaming 88 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:07,039 rig that's a gaming rig so a huge shout out to Lucas and 89 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,639 protocase for allowing us to be the first to make a video on this amazing 90 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,639 case and also for sending us another one 91 00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:19,520 when we lost the first one you can follow this Project's future development 92 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:22,879 at the link in the video description or on Twitter at luk 93 00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:31,160 dornc do you suffer from the incredibly first world problem of having far too 94 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:36,240 many computers to keep track of which keyboard and mouse goes with which well 95 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,280 actually I'm being factious because that can be a real problem maybe you have a 96 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:45,840 development station and a gaming station or a PC and a Mac well Synergy allows 97 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,680 you to share one Mouse and one keyboard between all of them so you will no 98 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:55,960 longer get confused and it all happens amazingly seamlessly they offer a basic 99 00:07:53,639 --> 00:08:00,800 and a pro option with a onetime payment for Lifetime access and features include 100 00:07:58,599 --> 00:08:04,919 aside from from just being able to move the mouse across screens like you 101 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:10,720 wouldn't even believe clipboard sharing dragging and dropping files the ability 102 00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:13,400 to set up hot keys and more use our Link 103 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,440 in the video
