1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:08,400
this desk case Fusion is not for the

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:10,599
faint of heart it's big it's bold it's

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:19,400
covered in brushed aluminum fingerprint magnet goodness and it costs a whopping

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,600
1,500 us and for those of you who are

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:28,400
about to ask no that does not include

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,400
any actual PC Hardware so first

7
00:00:28,759 --> 00:00:38,399
thought man this desk is PC porn at its finest

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,960
second thought H it's covered in

9
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:46,480
fingerprints already I should have probably been wearing some of these

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,480
before I loved

11
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,640
it browse privately and securely with

12
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,040
tunnel bear the simple VPN app try tunnel bear for free at the link in the

13
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:10,960
video description so the Journey Begins then

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,960
on a strong note unlike our DIY desk PC

15
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:19,119
project and to a lesser degree the vector desk mini the dk4 comes

16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:23,400
pre-assembled so right out of the box the desk's height can be adjusted via

17
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:29,000
the controls on the front with a height range that's adequate for anyone from

18
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Dennis all the way to Taran my only

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,759
gripe with this upes leg functionality

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,439
is the massive exposed power supply that

21
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,840
is visibly positioned inside the case it

22
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:47,799
makes the movement features feel like kind of an afterthought and for

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,200
$1,500 a small metal piece could have

24
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:55,960
easily been used to cover up the power supply while we're at it the two 6t

25
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:59,719
cables that cover the short distance between the power supply and the

26
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:05,880
motoring controller probably also could have been cut to size aside from that

27
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,160
the interior of the desk is very clean

28
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,480
until of course you touch it and touch

29
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,519
it we will we decided on a balls tothe

30
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,480
wall content creation rig that reached

31
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,560
just shy of $6,000 including the desk and all the

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,879
water cooling components and I know that might sound like a lot and that's

33
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:33,400
because it is the brain of our system was a pretty easy choice ints core i7

34
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:39,959
6900k might not be an extreme Edition but it's still an8 core monster and the

35
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:44,000
$700 we saved over the 6950x allowed us

36
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:46,760
to splurge on a 1.2 tbte 750 series ndme

37
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:52,760
SSD for lightning fast system responsiveness as for memory G skill's

38
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:55,319
Trident Z 64 gig kit in white was the

39
00:02:52,760 --> 00:03:01,159
Perfect Mate for our color scheme or lack of color scheme as it were and on

40
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:05,640
that note the x99 tricks from ASUS was perfect for our build other than the

41
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:12,400
orange lighting which we really felt had to go something we thought would be

42
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,680
easy but not so much now there's nowhere

43
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:20,799
to install an IO Shield due to the way the rear cables route so we put that

44
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:27,799
away then it was time to work on our lighting the stricks is ARA compatible

45
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:32,680
but with the included red green and blue dials on the front of the desk we are

46
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:38,439
opted not to use software controls and I think all the other RGB purists will

47
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,000
agree individual Channel control knobs

48
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,840
are the only way to go for full hipster RGB

49
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:50,439
satisfaction with the board in the desk the next logical step was a power supply

50
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Corsair's rm1000x was chosen yet again

51
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:59,920
for its simple understated looks and perfectly Overkill capacity which allows

52
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,560
us to keep the fan off even under load

53
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:08,560
on the subject of cooling we know you guys have been craving hard line and so

54
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:16,639
the choice was clear this tubing it's clear also it's

55
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,759
Hardline EK water blocks' 12 mm clear

56
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:23,240
petg is Affordable and designed to match

57
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:25,440
up perfectly with the plethora of 12mm

58
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Hardline fittings that they provided in a sleek and sexy black finish so I'm

59
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,759
glad we cleared that up speaking of clear to keep our eight processing cores

60
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,919
nice and frosty there was no debating that ek's plexy toop Supremacy Evo was a

61
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:47,440
great choice for both performance and Aesthetics not to mention it matches our

62
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:49,800
GTX 1080 that we definitely used instead

63
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,039
of a TI because the extra power doesn't make much of a difference while video

64
00:04:51,120 --> 00:05:02,160
editing and definitely not because the 1080 TI block didn't show up on time yay

65
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Customs our three 60 mm EK PE series

66
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,360
radiator mounted on this super bizarre

67
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:13,720
front bracket that doesn't have enough clearance for fans to fit underneath

68
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:19,600
according to Le and Lee this was to save the exterior from the up to 16 fan

69
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:23,240
screws that could be installed in it but in my opinion there's still no reason

70
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,560
they couldn't have enlarged it for the fans and the screws that would go on

71
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:32,600
them especially because there's a large magnetic fan filter that covers this

72
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:35,720
area anyway with the radiator installed

73
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,240
there's just enough room for our x3400

74
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:43,479
reservoirs tube which we mounted on the 2 and 1/2 in drive base to run next to

75
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:49,240
it and while the upper Drive mounts aren't designed for this purpose they

76
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,240
ended up working quite well though back

77
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:57,759
to the word design it's kind of a key word here Le and Le's manual talks about

78
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:03,240
radiator mounting but makes no mention of other water cooling components on so

79
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:10,479
we ended up securing our pump to one of the two lower SSD mounts next to a 1 TB

80
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,319
Samsung 850 Evo with a ghetto washer

81
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:19,400
that Jake made out of a cable anchor with some super professional looking

82
00:06:15,479 --> 00:06:22,479
electrical tape sleeving and we just

83
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,120
found that that was while functional a

84
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:30,400
bit frustrating for such a physically large Enthusiast grade product we think

85
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:36,840
some more thought could have been put into the custom water cooling scene

86
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:39,560
rather than just focusing on aios going

87
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:46,599
back to the tubing Jake and Ivan went full Linus Tech tips at this stage and

88
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:52,680
with the build mostly complete finally took it upon themselves to figure out

89
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,919
the best way to Route the tubing in true

90
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,639
LTT fashion they did pull through and

91
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:04,199
ended up with a couple bends that look very clean with the rest of the tubes

92
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:07,080
actually being fairly straight TM with

93
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:13,080
the help of about $150 worth of ek's black Hardline and 90° fittings with all

94
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:19,280
the tubing in place and tightened Jake rigged up an interesting fill Port by

95
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:21,919
screwing a funnel into an extension

96
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:25,319
which did leak a bit but not nearly as much as the wide open port on the bottom

97
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,319
of the reservoir there was one small leak we

98
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:37,639
discovered shortly after the filling but other than that we were golden damn is

99
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:41,599
Hardline ever awesome when somebody else

100
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:45,039
has to deal with it cabling was next and

101
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:47,599
uh oh we sure messed up here cables

102
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:53,840
definitely should have been done before filling to prevent possible bump induced

103
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:59,560
leaks the result though was monochromatic cable mod cables that fit

104
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:08,000
the build perfectly in what I'm calling and uh Alpine white so with everything

105
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,639
installed the glass on and uh after 30

106
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,840
minutes of wiping off all the fingerprints that somehow still managed

107
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:20,039
to get on the brushed aluminum we've come back to the same conclusion we

108
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,720
started with this thing is

109
00:08:20,039 --> 00:08:26,800
gorgeous and you don't even have to cover it up I mean you could put a

110
00:08:24,919 --> 00:08:31,039
monitor down on top of your build with the default stand or you can actually

111
00:08:29,159 --> 00:08:36,599
use this mounting point at the back of the desk to install a monitor ARM it

112
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:40,959
does cause some light leakage but in my opinion it's a worthwhile trade-off

113
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:45,760
which brings us then to the conclusion if you're a PC Enthusiast with a ton of

114
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:50,560
that young cash burning a hole in your pocket and you were planning on spending

115
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:55,600
a th000 plus dollars on a desk anyway well then the dk4 could be the perfect

116
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:00,360
product for you you do need to be a little prepared for Le and Le's form

117
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,680
before function approach but considering the

118
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:09,839
alternative we are now officially out of components to put over there leading us

119
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,079
to more problems particle board does not like moisture have the controller on the

120
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:21,800
outside oh no yeah it actually looks pretty darn

121
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:28,760
appealing we've teamed up with Zotac and HTC to bring you a truly immersive
