00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.240
picking the top five gaming desktops at a show like CES is not an easy task

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:13.960
there are so many and the definition of desktop has become more and more Broad

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:19.960
in recent years but we're going to kick things off with the MSI 27xt all-in-one

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:24.960
what makes this one special is the fact that it is an all-in-one that features a

00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:29.000
full-size graphics card mesh enclosure on the back of the unit that connects

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:33.559
via a ribbon cable to a normal PCI Express 16x slot there is no multi- card

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.800
support but when you compare this to something like a completely enclosed

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.760
non- upgradable all-in-one from the likes of someone like apple it is pretty

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.199
impressive especially for gamers and that's not the only feature that might

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:53.079
matter to Gamers the monitor that's included with it is a 144hz panel now it

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:57.160
is a TN panel but it's got a 5 millisecond response time and it will

00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:01.800
definitely be an improvement for gaming over the type of panel you'd normally

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:08.680
find in an all in one storage is handled by an m.2 NVMe SSD 08 two of them in

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.240
raid zero and the processor is a COR i7

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:16.040
nonk 6700 it's got a USB type-c connector and

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:20.680
an SDXC card reader and starts at $1700 not including the graphics card

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.920
you'll have to swap that one in on your own next up we've actually got another

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:30.119
Allin one from cyber this is a division of cyber power PC although the cybers

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:39.320
are actually spelled differently this puppy is in a 34in 3440 by1 1440

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:42.079
ultrawide curved IPS monitor enclosure

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:47.280
it's full of desktop parts and this is cool there's nothing proprietary so it's

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:49.520
actually very customizable and it's

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:55.280
water cooled it's got an all-in-one liquid cooler from acitech for the CPU

00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:57.600
that fits a 240 mm radiator and it can

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.000
also fit a custom Loop if you want something a little bit more exotic it

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.640
fits one full-size graphics card it can hold two 2 and 1/2 in drives for ssds or

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:11.160
hard drives although there is no 3 and 1/2 in drive support and has a small

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:16.680
enough form factor that even though it's got a power supply inside it actually

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:20.519
doesn't look that unreasonably thick so

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.959
the core i5 gtx960 config starts at $900

00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:27.680
but obviously the sky is pretty much the limit when we're talking nonproprietary

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:32.519
parts next up we've got the Digital Storm aventum 3 now although the aventum

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:37.640
3 has been out for a little while this new version will have a new cooling

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:41.040
system and before we get inside though we need to take a look at the custom

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.319
hand painted chassis this thing is massive at over 2 feet deep and over 2

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.800
feet tall and can fit all standard motherboard sizes as well as large dual

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.599
CPU workstation boards much like the one that we used in our seven Gamers 1 CPU

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.879
project but of course you got to keep all that stuff cool somehow and the

00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:03.640
aventum 3 features this completely integrated cool cooling system that is

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:07.720
absolutely fantastic looking what's new here is the angled fittings to reduce

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.959
the cracking that can sometimes occur with acrylic blocks the case features

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:18.319
support for three radiators a 480 mm and a 240 mm included that are all on the

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:23.480
same Loop and has this amazing looking Clear Water distribution block behind

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:28.200
the motherboard tray to cool all your components Digital Storm partnered with

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:32.519
EK for the cooling so it's done by a company that really knows what they're

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:37.280
doing and they even take requests for things like custom chipset coolers and

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:40.920
will install custom design Parts within reason you can also even ask for a

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:44.319
specific coolant color it comes with cable covers and a power supply bridge

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.879
on the back of the motherboard tray to keep everything tidy looking and like

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.200
most cases where you have power supply cables kind of crammed into a corner

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:57.159
somewhere and it features RGB lighting for the interior exterior and the

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:03.040
cooling the front IO includes two USB 3.1 ports and a slim optical drive

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.239
and of course there's a gotcha it starts at

00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:14.640
$5,800 with a CPU only water cooling loop with flexible tubing instead of the

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.600
now more premium seeming rigid solution

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.759
that I personally don't do because it's a lot of work which is also why it's

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:25.000
expensive because it's a lot of work the new cooling system is expected to be

00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:32.000
coming on January 27th which brings us to the ASUS Rog

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.639
gt51 it supports Rog band and NFC

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.639
wristband which you can touch to the case to do two different things you can

00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:42.520
activate Shadow Drive a hidden partition for stuff you need to keep private or

00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:46.000
you can automatically overclock setting up a profile that the band will

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.479
automatically activate to crank up your CPU for gaming and turn it back down to

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.440
stock if you're just doing something like web browsing it's actually got more

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.039
functionality coming later like Auto Windows login there's a GPU air tunnel

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:03.720
that works with a shunt from the bottom front fan to direct air over the GPU and

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:09.000
the front fan has a cool turbines design for the Shroud it features 8 million

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:13.720
colors of RGB customization a USB 3.1 type-c front connector pretty cool

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:17.240
mostly that scene in the back and it's got an amplified front audio jack for a

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:21.600
little bit of extra punch for your headphones it's available in mid to late

00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:28.199
q1 and starting at $1800 which finally leads us to the iby

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.240
power Revolt 2 this guy has a really

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:35.039
unique chassis design it's kind of like this weird but surprisingly cool

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.280
trapezoid thing there's a tinted cover over the entirety of the top and half of

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:45.759
the front that shows off your GPU on the very top and up to two ssds in the front

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:48.319
and the sides can be removed to reveal a

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:52.759
very interesting internal layout that crams in a surprising amount of

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:58.840
nonproprietary Hardware so you could put in pretty much any ITX case full-size

00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:01.280
ATX power supply 3 and 1/2 in drive and

00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:05.960
GPU that that you could want including liquid cooling all without having to

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:11.759
deal with any sort of thermal throttling that bottom can actually support up to a

00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:14.720
dual 120 mm radiator or a single 120 and

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:20.639
a single 140 if you wanted to water cool both the CPU and the GPU it's expected

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:26.199
to be available sometime later this month so thanks for checking out our top
