Linus Tech tips coverage of pxs 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel
and steel series Welcome to The Cooler Master Booth here at Pax 2013 they've
got a ton of stuff on demo but it's all
kind of one thing this is the half stacker system and this is what the I
mean this is the most monstrous computer I think I've seen here at the show how
do you configure one of these you don't get the whole thing in one box so you
start with a half 935
so to be clear a half 9935 is kind of a
normal sort of half looking case so it's an ATX case it supports an ATX
motherboard it's got your usual sort of eight expansion slots and then it has a
half 915 which is actually available as
a standalone purchase with either a rearm mounted power supply or a front
mounted power supply so it comes with a half 915 stacked on top of it they've
got little guide rails so you can actually stack them on on top of well
the 9935 unit that comes preassembled or
you can even buy multiple 915s on your own and stack them together as many
times as you wanted so you can push on ah there we go that one you can open up
the second one and it's a standalone mitx case so you can either have the
power supply mounted in the front by default or in the rear that's the RC and
the advantage of the front mounted power supply is that it gives you more room for tall tower coolers where the ITX
motherboard would be or if you don't really care about front mounted power
supply rearm mounted power supply or putting a motherboard in it at all you
can use it as strictly a storage box so
this one right here has everything pulled out of it with the stacker system
they are trying to avoid using rivets pretty much entirely and focus on
allowing them to screw together so you're actually able to pull out all the
mounts for everything and throw n hard drives in there hey maybe you don't want
to go that route maybe you want to go a completely different route use it as a rad box that's where the half 9945 comes
in so to be clear you buy a half 935
which has a regular sort of normal Tower with a 915 on it you can buy additional
915s you buy an additional 915 for your 935 you have a
945 and the way this one's configured with nice tight screws so I can't open
it up and show you guys is there's actually two 360 mm radiators in the
bottom two 360 mm radiators in the top
also in the bottom is a pump and fan controller and all of that is supporting
one beastly water cooled system here so there's a 4770k 16 gigs of dual Channel
RAM from Kingston full liquid cooling from coolant including two GTX 690 so
those are running in Quad s and of course if you have all that radiator
surface area for cooling you're going to be able to I'm I'm going to be nice and
I'm not going to touch the back of their cards but I will tell you they are definitely running extremely cool so
we're expecting this to be available on shelves October 15th or so cuz I mean
you never know these aren't even finished samples right here but the last
thing I wanted to point out is that the way that they are going to align is
going to allow you to see with this with the tubing here or the wiring is going
to give you so much flexibility you want your power supply in the bottom unit go
for it you want your radiators in the bottom unit you need to pass your cables and your tubes in between them go for it
one other thing I wanted to show off since we're here at the booth anyway is
their cherry X key switch sampler so it comes with Reds greens clears Blues
Browns and blacks it costs 15 bucks on
their store 25 25 bucks on 15 on the store and you get a $15 credit from the
CM Storm store to buy a mechanical keyboard after you buy it so effectively
you get it for free if you're committed to getting a mechanical keyboard and you
really want to try them out ahead of time so that pretty much wraps it up for
this booth guys remember our trip to the show is powered this year by West
digital Intel and steel series huge thanks to you guys for allowing us to be
here
