huge thanks to Squarespace for sending lonus Media Group to CES 2016 check out
the link in the video description to learn more about Squarespace so there's
a lot of stuff in the MSI Booth they've got like a star destroyer computer they
got a bunch of liquid cooled computers they got ey tracking they got VR they
got all this stuff but this this is the
focal point this is the center of the room this is the vortex and this is the
actual cause of a legitimate argument
between me and someone that I've actually known for years at MSI and I
would have considered a friend until I came into the booth and he told me no
lonus you may not open the vortex so
inside this kind of Mac Pro shaped but
actually slightly bigger cylinder PC they have a phenomenal amount of
Hardware so they got a core i7 6700k that's a sky processor up to 64 gigs of
ddr4 RAM loaded on sodm memory sticks so that's no memory sticks up to two GTX
980s note the absence of an M yes that
is NVIDIA's new mxm gtx980 two m.2 SSD slots so you can
throw in NVMe ssds you can put them in raid if that's even supported yet I mean
you don't even need to you could just throw throw one NVMe in here throw
another like you know storage NVMe CU you're apparently a baller because it's
priced at anywhere from $2,000 for the one with 960s to 3,00 ,000 for the one
with 980s but you're probably asking yourselves well hold on a second lonus
how did they get two 980s in SLI a GTX
6700k up to 64 gigs of RAM and two
drives in here great question and you can actually watch Apple's keynote on
the Mac Pro online because it was I'm
sorry MSI because it was actually done in a fairly similar manner so instead of
relying on the more traditional PC
configuration where you've got the box with all the components kind of against
one side they've actually got multiple completely custom laid out pcbs inside
here with one gigantic blower fan on the top that MSI is claiming is capable of
something in the neighborhood of like 22 DB at idle and in the low 30s underload
making it not only extraordinarily powerful but extremely quiet and they
didn't skimp on iio either at the back you'll find four USB 3.1 ports two HDMI
ports two mini dis ports and two USB 3.1
type-c ports with Thunderbolt support
for a total of six display outputs
natively supported if you count the USB 3.1 type-c and also Thunderbolt 3 ports
oh yeah and I guess it's got dual Lan as well audio ports and all the usual stuff
now this is not the final Hardware it
isn't launching until Q2 which is apparently why they won't let me open it
but I have somewhat forgiven Cliff
because he has assured me and now this is this is documented this is documented
Cliff he has assured me that lonus Tech tips will be the first to cover the
finalized system you have my work so drop a comment on the video and let me
know if you are excited to see us tear apart the vortex and reveal its secrets
to the world I didn't bring a screwdriver can you believe I didn't
bring a screwdriver everyone came so prepared for me this year I walk in
they're like no you can't open it so thanks for checking out this video
