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

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:14.400
In Black t314 oh I'm sorry no this is

00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:17.160
the monitor integrated box my bad I got

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

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

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

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

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.399
desktop computer great for embedded applications or if you need like a

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:41.520
little POS terminal for a retail store something like that all right so here we

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

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

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:54.520
monitor you need just like that that's kind of cool so here we go this

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

00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.000
it has a hinge lock cover flexible hinge enabling monitor horizontal and vertical

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:09.400
adjustment it has cable and cord management it is Vasa standard so 17 to

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:13.479
22 in recommended monitors with 100x 100

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:15.960
mm or 75x 75 mm monitor holes okay on

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

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.439
drive although for most people buying a a case like this you probably wouldn't

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

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:33.360
it has an integrated power supply oh thumb screws for more convenience

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.960
assembly and it has a 60 mm cooling fan

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:40.399
so this is space saving that's their whole pitch by replacing the monitor

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.079
stand with a computer I'll buy that okay

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

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

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

00:01:54.520 --> 00:02:01.240
one HD audio setup so I don't think this is

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

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:10.440
exactly how it'll come at retail but I believe this one also has a motherboard

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

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.599
just going to kind of go and find out what happens here we'll have this

00:02:17.239 --> 00:02:24.760
adventure together so I'm going to take out the cardboard thing oh it's falling

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.480
apart okay excellent so here is the uh

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

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.680
kind of cool so the case by default

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:39.840
doesn't actually like you're not required to have the uh the mounting ARM

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:45.920
on it that's just an optional accessory that it looks like um where does this

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

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:54.319
the case aside for now I guess and let's

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

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

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.080
Hardware so here we go so they give us a

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:10.080
little introduction to the the case structure itself so here's your hinge

00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:13.280
cable cord management okay we already covered most of this and then they give

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

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:22.560
motherboard install the hard drive and slim optical drive and then that's

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

00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:32.159
onboard sound uh so you need to install the CPU and RAM on the motherboard and

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.680
other than that it's pretty much grabbing go so then you install okay

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:40.560
here's the installation of the LCD monitor to the case you connect the

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:45.040
hinge onto the chassis and then Mount the monitor before adjusting the angle

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

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.799
screws right here come out and then that

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:58.400
is where you actually attach the Hing ARM so it slides into oh here cameraman

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:02.720
look up here so it slides into place at the front

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

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.959
like some kind of security screws at the back you could replace the default ones

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:13.879
and then you could make it so that your employees or customers can't remove the

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

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:22.400
you could make it so that they can't remove the motherboard from or the uh

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:27.280
the monitor from the case so that's kind of cool and then Gigabyte has also

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

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:35.080
case apart we can have a look at the internals so the top is all ventilation

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.320
glossy plastic there's your power button there's your slim optical drive and then

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

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:12.840
what it actually looks pretty nice in person it feels not bad it's not that

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

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:21.880
side this is obviously a y loon fan just like yeah it says y loon Electronics

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

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:29.919
already knew about that just because this is a a sample board so it's not

00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:35.000
100% retail Hardware they might not even have the io plate yet in the power

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:39.120
supply that is a tiny fan so this is using like a special small form factor

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

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.440
bottom nothing interesting there we'll have a look at the power supply next to

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:48.600
find out just what's going on with it so

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:57.080
it is a 160 wat power supply which is okay 10

00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:00.400
amps on the 12vt rail and then the 5

00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:02.280
combined are 61 Watts so 10 amps I'm

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

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:14.000
12vt rail alone okay so something to remember now inside this motherboard is

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:17.960
actually fairly high-end this is an LGA

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:20.400
1156 Mini ITX motherboard but even if

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

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:30.599
that good stuff even if you're doing that a power supply like this is still

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

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:39.440
extra stuff that's built onto them so where you might need a 300 wat power

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

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:46.840
using the same CPU in a mini ITX board

00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:50.520
it's just a different platform and everything is optimized for low power

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.240
consumption so let's have a look at the overall layout of this board itself you

00:06:52.039 --> 00:06:58.160
can see obviously it integrates very very well into this particular chassis

00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:03.240
where you can mount your slim Optical here and then your hard drive goes in

00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:05.720
this cage which removes by these screws on the bottom here so that's where your

00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:10.319
hard drive goes that's where your optical drive goes that was simple very

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

00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:16.599
going to go ahead and unplug it so that

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

00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:28.319
board there are a couple on the market but this is obviously gigabytes offering

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:32.560
it's an h55 board so the part number is

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:35.520
the ga H5 5 n USB 3 as I said a few

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

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:45.000
guess you could put a core i7 on it although it's not really recommended

00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:49.919
with most ITX boards due to heat output considerations I mean look at this case

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:52.800
as well as power considerations because what are you doing buying an ITX board

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:57.400
if you're trying to use high power components it doesn't make good sense so

00:07:54.919 --> 00:08:03.199
then you've got also this is cool a PCI Express 16x connector so while this

00:08:00.159 --> 00:08:05.639
motherboard with the h55 chipset does

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.080
feature Onboard video you could also take it and put it in something like

00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:12.599
that Silverstone case that accepts a ful length graphics card and you could

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:17.800
install a fulllength graphics card in this as well very cool for a motherboard

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

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.120
connector uh I guess right where it belongs in the normal configuration but

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.160
being along the right hand Edge is actually up at the top of the board dual

00:08:54.920 --> 00:09:01.680
Channel DDR3 is supported by this motherboard and that pretty much does it

00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:06.760
for the onboard features because you know like I said it's a very very small

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:09.160
very compact board very cool so let's go

00:09:06.760 --> 00:09:13.200
around to the back and have a look at what we have for onboard connectivity

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

00:09:15.079 --> 00:09:23.200
you've got 1 2 3 4 USB 2.0 ports and uh

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:26.440
then you've got VGA DVI and HDMI output

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:30.120
as well as uh digital audio out that's

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:33.079
optical digital and then here this is

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:40.079
what is this that's neat hm I don't know what that is it

00:09:36.839 --> 00:09:42.720
looks like a USB port but it's it's the

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

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

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

00:09:54.760 --> 00:10:04.480
GB Ethernet and then 7.1 audio so thank you for checking out my combined

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:08.519
unboxing of the h55 and USB 3 as well as

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.519
the Men in Black t314
