WEBVTT 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:07.200 so we've been featuring a lot of small 00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:12.759 cases lately on lineus Tech tips and we've gotten a lot of frustration from 00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.679 the community for not showing off larger 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:21.880 designs more often and you know what we heard you so 00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:30.840 we got in touch with main gear who partnered with HP to bring us this The 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.079 Omen X the rotated cubid whose HP 00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:40.039 rendition we first checked out back at CES in January at 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:43.280 $599 for the case alone that version may 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:45.719 have tilted some of you but if price is 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:50.520 a non-c concern for you well you'd be looking at the Mad baller main gear 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:56.830 version that Sports a mad baller price tag to match anyway I mean go big or go 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.920 home am I 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:05.360 right 00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:12.680 cooler Master's 25th anniversary edition 00:01:08.759 --> 00:01:15.200 Cosmos 2 features a unique dual curved 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:20.560 tempered glass side panel check it out now at the link 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:25.400 below so let's take it from the top The 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:28.159 Omen X has a gigantic package I mean 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:32.520 when it first arrives that is the first thing that you will notice but that's a 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:40.200 good thing when you consider the omen X's weight at over 50 lb it is certainly 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:45.680 something that you will think twice before moving especially if you've got 00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:49.719 to go up and down the stairs like we had 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:54.159 to but who says big can't be beautiful 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:57.560 the HP version is nice but what a job 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:59.840 main gear did on this one done up with a 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:06.000 gorgeous coat of blue automotive paint paint and some other tweaks so we've got 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:11.080 the main gear logo in place of the omen logo on the front panel that Sports 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:18.080 individually addressable quadrants of RGB Lighting on the right we've got our 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.760 front IO including two USB type-c ports 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.400 and down below we've got wait a DVD burner okay well In fairness it can be 00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:30.160 equipped with a Blu-ray Drive if you want but main gear wisely assumed that 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.480 we wouldn't care if they put a piece of new car scented blue cardboard in there 00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:40.200 anyway around the back we've got our rear I/O which thankfully reveals an 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:46.959 offthe shelf motherboard from ASUS and not a proprietary HP Omen board as well 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:50.120 as our power supply and huh what's this 00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:53.879 screw here well let's just remove it and 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:56.760 now press this button and whoa that side 00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:04.440 panel just opened like a car door very cool and looking even deeper inside oh 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.959 yeah we areg be now boys sorry I got 00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:13.200 carried away there anyway in here we find one of our three cooling zones and 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:20.239 here the motherboard and gpus live alongside a 120 mm radiator up front 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.280 with our Reservoir and a 240 mm radiator 00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:25.760 up top pulling exhaust Duty we can't 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:31.640 help at this point but to tear up a little bit gazing upon the gorgeous hard 00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:39.280 line tubing job main gear has painstakingly done for this unit it 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:42.159 includes a whopping 75 Chrome fittings 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:47.439 and no bends apparently this helps prevent damage in shipping our blocks 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:52.920 are running in parallel in our Loop and all of them contain a delightful pastel 00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:58.760 blue coolant reminiscent of a delicious liquefied Smurf but if you look closely 00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:05.840 here you'll see that our Loop actually extends into the bottom chamber to where 00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:08.360 the Corsair ax1200i is housed it's a 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:14.720 little tough to access but down there you'll actually find a third radiator to 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:20.759 complete the cooling system I mean this thing packs some serious cooling 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:28.440 capacity all right then lonus what's in the third chamber Drive Bays for days 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.240 well four Drive Bays anyway for four 00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:35.360 days but they're cool ones all four are hot swappable with locking 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:40.280 mechanisms and cloth pull tabs that let you slide out trays big enough to 00:04:37.479 --> 00:04:47.120 accommodate up to 3 and 1/2 in hard drives while we did report though at CES 00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:49.840 that the omen X would support .2 drives 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:54.280 ours doesn't this isn't the end of the world for and now there isn't a ton of 00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:58.680 selection in ud2 drives but we are looking forward to seeing future 00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:04.400 configurations with that option nudge nudge so with all of that together we've 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:09.240 got a baaf machine that should be more than capable of handling high-end work 00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:14.440 like 3D rendering and video editing all the way down to more pedestrian tasks 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:18.600 like 4K gaming which I can't believe I just said starting off then with our 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:22.600 gaming tests we can see that right off the bat main Gear's Factory overclock 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:30.720 has given them quite a bit of Headroom over the stock configuration so it's not 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:32.919 all for show then and and I imagine if 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.919 you wanted to really sit down and grind out the voltage tweaks for an 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:42.919 unreasonably long period of trial and error you could probably push both the 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:44.560 6950x CPU and the 1080 TI gpus even 00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:49.080 further but that's a little outside the scope of a normal System review though 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.319 with that said maybe we'll get a chance to take a closer look at an omen X in 00:05:51.000 --> 00:06:00.240 the future maybe after Threadripper anyway this is an expensive system but 00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:05.400 this is main gear so you have to expect it these guys handb build every unit 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.960 they send out the door and hand overclock them too I mean during the 00:06:07.599 --> 00:06:15.880 course of this video our motherboard actually developed a fault and they flew 00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:19.599 the guy who built the system to make the repair for us and while they won't 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:25.479 necessarily do that for every end user it does show a level of commitment that 00:06:22.039 --> 00:06:28.319 we've never seen before even towards us 00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:32.599 from a system builder and it also highlights something very important that 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:39.360 we brought up in our recent review of the digital storm bolx and that is that 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:43.240 Hardline tubing is a pain and a half to 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:47.199 maintain even if it looks stunning and 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:50.160 this one is one stunning series of 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:56.080 tubes that Artistry in support though like I said doesn't come cheap and as 00:06:52.759 --> 00:07:00.080 configured we are sitting at 00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:03.360 105,000 us even our balls to the wall 00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:07.280 test bench parts cost less than half of 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:10.560 that so then just like the bolx The Omen 00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:12.759 X isn't for an Enthusiast who likes to 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.879 get their hands dirty but rather it's for someone who wants a unique looking 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.319 rig with an utterly one-of-a-kind water 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:26.000 cooling setup that compromises on nothing without the hassle and with full 00:07:23.479 --> 00:07:32.800 support if something goes wrong is it for you well that depends just how much 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.599 of a baller you are and also how Cube 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:39.680 shaped you like your balls want to
