1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:10,440
in the mail today I got a sample this is from Gigabyte it is the Gigabyte Mi Men

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:14,400
In Black t314 oh I'm sorry no this is

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:17,160
the monitor integrated box my bad I got

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,199
it wrong I'm sorry anyway this I you know what I'm going into this completely

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,760
cold I have no idea what this is but it appears to be a computer case and then

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:29,240
it has like a little uh stand on the top which I'm going to go ahead and assume

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,599
ends in a Visa Mount so that you can mount a monitor to the top of a little

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,399
desktop computer great for embedded applications or if you need like a

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,520
little POS terminal for a retail store something like that all right so here we

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:44,480
go ah yes that's exactly what it is so you have a Gigabyte case you got a

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,320
little stand attached to it and then you can attach so you could put a touchscreen monitor whatever kind of

12
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:54,520
monitor you need just like that that's kind of cool so here we go this

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,800
is oh let's have a look at the back first so let's see the hinge design so

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:03,000
it has a hinge lock cover flexible hinge enabling monitor horizontal and vertical

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:09,400
adjustment it has cable and cord management it is Vasa standard so 17 to

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:13,479
22 in recommended monitors with 100x 100

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,960
mm or 75x 75 mm monitor holes okay on

18
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:20,640
the back or on the the case design so it is an ITX case supporting a slim optical

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,439
drive although for most people buying a a case like this you probably wouldn't

20
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,600
even have a DVD drive it would just be set up once and then sit there forever

21
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,360
it has an integrated power supply oh thumb screws for more convenience

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,960
assembly and it has a 60 mm cooling fan

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,399
so this is space saving that's their whole pitch by replacing the monitor

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,079
stand with a computer I'll buy that okay

25
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:46,840
so here's the overall specifications of the case it's made of ABS plastic on the

26
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:52,360
front bezel it's available in Black it's weighs 4 kg um okay 1 3 and 1 12 in

27
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,159
internal drive and then you've got two USB 2.0 ports on the front as well as

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,240
one HD audio setup so I don't think this is

29
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:06,039
sealed cuz it's like a it's a sample product so it's not really this isn't

30
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,440
exactly how it'll come at retail but I believe this one also has a motherboard

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,840
inside that I'm supposed to have a look at as well so we're just going to we're

32
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:19,599
just going to kind of go and find out what happens here we'll have this

33
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:24,760
adventure together so I'm going to take out the cardboard thing oh it's falling

34
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:26,480
apart okay excellent so here is the uh

35
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:33,000
the Vasa Mount so this sits up at the end of the ARM which is here oh this is

36
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,680
kind of cool so the case by default

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,840
doesn't actually like you're not required to have the uh the mounting ARM

38
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:45,920
on it that's just an optional accessory that it looks like um where does this

39
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:52,159
attach okay this is kind of smart so we got the case here all right so let's put

40
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:54,319
the case aside for now I guess and let's

41
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:59,280
have a look at sort of the accessory Focus first so here we've got a manual

42
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,400
which may or may not be a a final manual because like I I said this is uh sample

43
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,080
Hardware so here we go so they give us a

44
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,080
little introduction to the the case structure itself so here's your hinge

45
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:13,280
cable cord management okay we already covered most of this and then they give

46
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:19,040
you oh they give you a little installation guide so they show you how to remove the top cover install the

47
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,560
motherboard install the hard drive and slim optical drive and then that's

48
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:27,799
pretty much all that's involved because when you're putting in an ITX motherboard it'll have Onboard video

49
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:32,159
onboard sound uh so you need to install the CPU and RAM on the motherboard and

50
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,680
other than that it's pretty much grabbing go so then you install okay

51
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,560
here's the installation of the LCD monitor to the case you connect the

52
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,040
hinge onto the chassis and then Mount the monitor before adjusting the angle

53
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:51,439
of the hinge so let me see the back of the case is over here so these two thumb

54
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:53,799
screws right here come out and then that

55
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:58,400
is where you actually attach the Hing ARM so it slides into oh here cameraman

56
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,720
look up here so it slides into place at the front

57
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:06,360
and then you could also use um there you go Clips right in you could also use

58
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:09,959
like some kind of security screws at the back you could replace the default ones

59
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,879
and then you could make it so that your employees or customers can't remove the

60
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,959
I'm not actually going to put this in now cuz I want to open up the case but

61
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,400
you could make it so that they can't remove the motherboard from or the uh

62
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:27,280
the monitor from the case so that's kind of cool and then Gigabyte has also

63
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,720
included a motherboard inside for us to have a look at here so let's take the

64
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,080
case apart we can have a look at the internals so the top is all ventilation

65
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,720
which is kind of cool because that means if you're using a fan it's actually

66
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,639
going to have somewhere to pull air from and then on this side which side ah on

67
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:48,520
this side right here we've got the vent holes for the 60 mm fan that it comes

68
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:54,000
installed in the case so that's pretty useful as well there we go why don't we

69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,280
have a look at the power supply no you know what let's take a closer look at

70
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:01,080
the case first I'm sorry okay so here's the front of the case it's a it's a

71
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,320
glossy plastic there's your power button there's your slim optical drive and then

72
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,000
you got your front panel connectors it has kind of a it's plastic but you know

73
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:12,840
what it actually looks pretty nice in person it feels not bad it's not that

74
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:17,479
kind of plasticky like this is horrible sort of feel so then we go around to the

75
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:21,880
side this is obviously a y loon fan just like yeah it says y loon Electronics

76
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,280
right on it and then yeah it's all steel construction I'm missing an IO plate I

77
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,919
already knew about that just because this is a a sample board so it's not

78
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:35,000
100% retail Hardware they might not even have the io plate yet in the power

79
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,120
supply that is a tiny fan so this is using like a special small form factor

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,680
style power supply and we'll have a look at the power supply next here's the

81
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,440
bottom nothing interesting there we'll have a look at the power supply next to

82
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,600
find out just what's going on with it so

83
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:57,080
it is a 160 wat power supply which is okay 10

84
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,400
amps on the 12vt rail and then the 5

85
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,280
combined are 61 Watts so 10 amps I'm

86
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,680
going to do the quick math time 12 is about it can do about 120 watts on the

87
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:14,000
12vt rail alone okay so something to remember now inside this motherboard is

88
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:17,960
actually fairly high-end this is an LGA

89
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,400
1156 Mini ITX motherboard but even if

90
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:24,400
you're using a high-powered CPU and you got like a couple sticks of RAM and all

91
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:30,599
that good stuff even if you're doing that a power supply like this is still

92
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:35,400
okay because a lot of the power that gets used up by bigger boards is all the

93
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,440
extra stuff that's built onto them so where you might need a 300 wat power

94
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:44,840
supply for an ATX board you might get away with a 150 W power supply if you're

95
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:46,840
using the same CPU in a mini ITX board

96
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:50,520
it's just a different platform and everything is optimized for low power

97
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,240
consumption so let's have a look at the overall layout of this board itself you

98
00:06:52,039 --> 00:06:58,160
can see obviously it integrates very very well into this particular chassis

99
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:03,240
where you can mount your slim Optical here and then your hard drive goes in

100
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,720
this cage which removes by these screws on the bottom here so that's where your

101
00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:10,319
hard drive goes that's where your optical drive goes that was simple very

102
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,639
cool okay so then let's have a look at the layout of this motherboard I'm just

103
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,599
going to go ahead and unplug it so that

104
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:22,479
uh we can have a better look here this is very cool though Mini ITX LGA 1156

105
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:28,319
board there are a couple on the market but this is obviously gigabytes offering

106
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:32,560
it's an h55 board so the part number is

107
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:35,520
the ga H5 5 n USB 3 as I said a few

108
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:40,240
times it's got support for LGA 1156 CPUs so that means core i3s Core i5 and I

109
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,000
guess you could put a core i7 on it although it's not really recommended

110
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:49,919
with most ITX boards due to heat output considerations I mean look at this case

111
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,800
as well as power considerations because what are you doing buying an ITX board

112
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:57,400
if you're trying to use high power components it doesn't make good sense so

113
00:07:54,919 --> 00:08:03,199
then you've got also this is cool a PCI Express 16x connector so while this

114
00:08:00,159 --> 00:08:05,639
motherboard with the h55 chipset does

115
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:09,080
feature Onboard video you could also take it and put it in something like

116
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,599
that Silverstone case that accepts a ful length graphics card and you could

117
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,800
install a fulllength graphics card in this as well very cool for a motherboard

118
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:22,039
that's basically like the size of a a hand okay so you got your four pin

119
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,120
connector uh I guess right where it belongs in the normal configuration but

120
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,159
the a lot of the other stuff is pretty weird so while on an ATX board your CPU

121
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:36,640
socket would be kind of here and then North Bridge here and a South Bridge sort of here this board just has the one

122
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,120
chipset up above the CPU socket here I'm going to orient this the way it would

123
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:44,959
normally be so the top of the io Shield is here then you've got your SATA two

124
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:49,160
ports up at the top you've got your front panel ports as well as your USB

125
00:08:46,839 --> 00:08:52,920
2.0 headers up at the top of the board and then your 24 pin power rather than

126
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,160
being along the right hand Edge is actually up at the top of the board dual

127
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:01,680
Channel DDR3 is supported by this motherboard and that pretty much does it

128
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:06,760
for the onboard features because you know like I said it's a very very small

129
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,160
very compact board very cool so let's go

130
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:13,200
around to the back and have a look at what we have for onboard connectivity

131
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:19,480
we've got a built-in PS2 combo Port so you can use a mouse or a keyboard there

132
00:09:15,079 --> 00:09:23,200
you've got 1 2 3 4 USB 2.0 ports and uh

133
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:26,440
then you've got VGA DVI and HDMI output

134
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:30,120
as well as uh digital audio out that's

135
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:33,079
optical digital and then here this is

136
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:40,079
what is this that's neat hm I don't know what that is it

137
00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:42,720
looks like a USB port but it's it's the

138
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:47,519
color of their uh it's the typical color of their ESAT ports but I'm looking at

139
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,120
the uh the connection fingers inside you know what I'm sorry that's an eSATA Port

140
00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:57,600
wow that was a blonde moment for me eSATA then we have two USB 3.0 ports 1

141
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:04,480
GB Ethernet and then 7.1 audio so thank you for checking out my combined

142
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:08,519
unboxing of the h55 and USB 3 as well as

143
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,519
the Men in Black t314
