Oh wow, it's really heavy. The problem is that I don't know a couple of the minor details like how much these things are worth. I can tell you that our whales paid $10,000 for their tickets that include the PC and I can tell you that this system is not available on StarForge's website. That's right, as part of this sponsorship deal for Whale Land, StarForge collaborated with Blue Horse Studios to do up something totally custom. And I can also tell you that this is my first time seeing it, so I really hope they did a good job. Because of the way I unboxed it, you guys get to see it before me. Did it get bashed in and shipping? You're nodding. What is with this guy? Why would you do that to me? The PCs were hand-delivered to us. We put them on a pallet and we're pretty sure the weight of the PC with the box bent the bottom feet. So we're getting new feet for the whales. Oh it is bent. But this looks amazing! Oh my goodness! Woohoohoo! Oh it's a vinyl wrap. The case is turquoise and then they've got these blue accents on it that really sell the underwater theme. I think the business end might look even better though. Holy crap the size of this GPU. Oh that's really thoughtful. I have all four of these off and it can't just fall off. There's a little holder right here for the tempered glass side panel. One thing I will tell you guys for sure is that we are not going to have the same problem we had last time. At Whale Land 2022, people bought whale tickets which included a gaming PC, but the problem we had is there's a big overlap between the people who pay thousands of dollars for a whale ticket and people who already have a good gaming PC. Not this time! We have gone absolutely top of the freaking line. We've got a 1300KS CPU, that's 24 cores of gaming goodness, an RTX 4090 Aero OC that is one of the largest computer components I think I have ever seen. They apparently want me to do a couple of key upgrades on this system, so I'm going to start by taking out the GPU, since I have to add my screwdriver handy anyway, lttstore.com. Oh cable mod 16 pin cable, no lighting on fire for you buddy. Is this GPU make my hands look small? Now that we can actually see everything, we've got 64GB of DDR5 6000CL38, an MSI Z790 MPG edge motherboard, a 1300W power supply rated at 80 plus platinum efficiency, also from MSI. Full cable mod cabling, man I love these gold cable comb accents here. A full compliment of Lee and Lee's daisy chainable RGB fans with what appear to be infinity mirrors on the hubs, I'm not sure if I've seen this particular version before in person. And naturally, while it is AIO cooled, it's AIO cooled by EK, so I'm expecting outstanding performance, of course we're going to fire it up pretty shortly here. For storage, we've got a 4TB WD Black SN850X in there, and the piece that I'm adding is for networking, we've got these Intel X540 network cards cooled by Noctua, courtesy of our extremely robust mounting solution of one screw in the corner. Seriously though, look at that, we even heat shrink the power cables onto the thing on the thing, so yeah, it's good. I don't think this is going to fit. I think there is a solution to this. All we need to do is loosen this thumbscrew, easy, and it still doesn't fit. I have a really bad idea. Oh, darn it, it slipped.

It's not really aligned with the whale, um, theme that we have going on here, but sure. Let's turn this thing on. StarForge asked me to bring up the fact that they now shipped to the EU and UK, and they're going to be doing custom systems like this once a month, apparently, because yeah, you can't order one of these, but, um, hey, maybe something, not like it, but, but, like it and that it is unique later. Oh, sick. The RGB app launched and now it's all blue and white. Love it. Very tasteful. Also that infinity mirror on the fan looks amazing. This GPU is at 46 degrees. Ah, the fans are off. That makes sense. It's very quiet under the water. So we wanted to capture that. I know I'm only in the loading screen, but like 400 FPS and Cyberpunk doing anything is pretty impressive.
