right so we're here in the MSI Booth where somebody namely MSI has finally built
the computer that I've been asking to be built for like four years four years
I've been asking for someone to make a chassis that is legitimately about the
size of the PlayStation 4 with exactly the compromises that I asked for now
mind you it did take a little while for the technology to catch up because back
when I was asking for that we didn't necessarily have m.2 ssds in the
mainstream so uh you know they do have the advantage of the Ever Ever Changing
tech industry but this is it this is the
Trident 3 what they're calling the world's smallest VR ready gaming PC I
guess MSI's desktop division never got
the memo from the The Notebook division that they actually have a lot of smaller
notebooks that are also VR certified but I see what I see their point they mean desktop PC so that's fine so what do you
get with this puppy aside from a form factor that is actually pretty darn
similar to the PlayStation 4 you also
get flexibility cuz we've seen stuff like this from Indie makers like the
Sentry case where it was like yeah we have this super slim chassis it was
actually taller and you couldn't put it on its side without compromising cooling
this one has rubber feet on the Bott so you can pick any orientation you want it
has a full spec IO so you've got headphone microphone type-c USB regular
USB and an HDMI port if you're one of those people who has a VR headset and
you want to be able to plug it in from the front because you unplug it for some reason instead of just having the cable
anchored and having it running around to the back of your computer maybe you move it around a lot I don't know how you do
that because the lighthouse is kind of screw into your roof I don't know I'm not too worried about why it is exactly
that we need that on the front but you also get this this is exactly the layout
that I've been asking for fans on one
side no internal power supply so they're using a single external brick and does
that come at a bit of a cost maybe but you're still getting a very good gaming
experience so you can get up to an Intel Core
i77700 you can get up to 32 gigs of ddr4
dual Channel memory you get an m.2 on the back and a 2 and a half inch SSD
kind of behind the video card there and you can fit I mean I've been been asking
for this chassis ever since the 970 mini from ASUS was launched okay so you're
able to fit one of these little mini what are these 8 in Long something along
those lines the mini cards that go up to a GTX 1070 which is an incredible amount
of gaming power in a very small form factor now this one is only shipping at
this time with up to a core i7 and a GTX 1060 but they've told me that sometime
in March we can expect a 1070 model to
come it looks freaking awesome I can't wait to review it and it actually based
on my experience here at the show so far is pretty darn quiet too so thanks for
