thank you to corser for sending us to computex 2016 this year check out their
lap dog it allows you to use desktop peripherals on the couch also thanks to
MSI we'll be checking out their stuff later on the show Welcome to the inwin
booth they have eight different computers that were modded for the mod in Taiwan competition there's a lot on
the line three different prizes of $55,000 and full system rigs all this
kind of stuff and you guys can vote you guys are worth 30% of the total vote so
let's walk through each one and see which one's your favorite first up is
code of arms by bsods they have the 30th Anniversary logo on the shield on the
back they have a sword on the front it is very obviously a Medieval theme one
of my favorite things actually hearkens back to Scrapyard Wars they have this
stuff that they found at Home Depot which goes behind the cross and on the
inside of the computer as a skirt for the motherboard tray which is just I I
don't even know what it was just stuff from Home Depot apparently it cost 20
bucks and it adds a ton to the theme it looks perfectly medieval next up was
Titanfall by team another mod 24 contestant which is pretty cool to see
one thing that I really liked about this race because they didn't leave anything
bare everything was covered by something and then painted and then textured and
it just looks great they have the TitanFall eye up on the front they have
the trailer playing on the front which is actually pretty cool touch and then
they scratched up the ssds which is cool because they're different colors one of
them was I believe silver the other one was red now they made them both look
tight and fall and right on the top of the front there's the 30th Anniversary
logo then we have computer 3 Pulsar by mbf they
completely absolutely changed the inside of this case the leatherboard is in a
different direction the radiator is on an angle they have I/O coming out a
completely different part of the computer they have water cooling hard
pipes coming in and out the back of the case with reservoirs out the back
completely in a stack all the way down pretty cool space inspired case but
unfortunately there is no 30th Anniversary logo and it did start to
leak so it has been shut off which is the reason why it's not shining up all
nice and blue like it was earlier when we first showed up our fourth contestant
is state-ofthe-art by running with Scissors they have the 30th iers logo on
the back and they have what looks very much like the wow logo going all
throughout the computer so they might get an extra point or two from us for that the in the inside I also have to
point out that while they do have sleeve cables like a couple of the other groups
do they actually sleeved their own at the event to at least a certain degree
which is pretty damn cool and I must say for an event that was 8 Hour segments
over 3 days this front glass panel looks like it was from Factory extremely clean
would very much expect to see it on a Case very cool then we have five 9 by
babe Tech another space inspired computer with some pretty interesting
modifications they have acrylic stacked with metal and then glued together and
pasted on the case which makes it look like a spaceship from descent which is
actually kind of cool I love that old game inside the reservoir on the top
there is an in-win logo which does count as the 30th Anniversary thing but
because of the bubbles it is a little bit hard to see so I don't know how well that's going to show up on camera they
also have another 30th Anniversary call out on the right hand side panel where
there's a lot more of the like spaceship style aesthetic then for number six we
have wmd by team down under these guys went absolutely crazy there's so much
stuff going on I'm not entirely sure where to start but I will start with
their external radiator which kind of reminds me of whole room water cooling
the tubes go at the back just like in whole room water cooling then they have three triple RADS all strapped together
in what looks like a backpack which is pretty cool and there's an LCD display
that has a readout that comes from Ida 64 I also appreciate that they didn't
let anywhere go without bullets even the reservoir on the inside of the case is
rounded with bullets on the inside which is pretty sweet and I like the oil drum
style reservoirs on the front fits the military aesthetic as well then we have
Glass City by S smpc modding this is a meticulously clean and tidy buil they
have glass on the back that shows their Cable Management a very bold move for a
Tim restrained competition in the front they have beautiful custom brushed
aluminum which is on the power supply and around the inside of the case and
then their own pass through panel for the water cooling so that it can go to
the reservoir up in the front another fun note is that they used water cooling
heat sinks on their memory but then didn't water cool them it actually looks
really nice and clean with that metal but I do unfortunately have to point out
that they didn't include the 30th Anniversary logo anywhere on the build
and last number eight we have skull Trail by mod this is a beautiful
rig it has a vertical graphics card which I think works really really well
for this case I do like the blue aesthetic that they did throughout it is
a little bit of an age aesthetic but I think it worked really well here here they added a quad rad up in the top
which is actually pretty cool there's a little bit of controversy over the rig
because some of the metals were cnced and painted by inwin but I don't I don't
know how the rules exactly worked out so we'll see how that ends up but
regardless it is an absolutely beautiful build and one thing that I really
appreciate that they did is use glass panels on each side this door and this
door are both glass panels and it looks great so if you want to vote and I think
you should go to mod. in-win
somewhere around here anyways also again thank you to Corsair for bringing us
here check out the lap dog if you like gaming on your couch if you want to play like Civ or something on the TV that's
pretty cool also thank you to MSI they have an Aus desktop computer that we're
going to check out here and a new GTX 1080 so stay tuned for that and stay
