WEBVTT 00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:13.000 well I don't know about where you live but in Vancouver houses are really 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:17.920 expensive and so are apartments and so are condos and dogs actually no dogs 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.359 aren't more expensive but places to live are certainly more expensive so having a 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:27.519 smaller computer is probably a good thing today I have an unboxing of a very 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:32.160 fully featured small form factor computer from shuttle although there's 00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:38.480 no actual functional computer in this box this is a barebones which means you 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.960 have to add a CPU memory a drive an 00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:45.640 operating system and I guess that's pretty much it 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:48.719 so basically what it is is a motherboard 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:52.039 a case and a power supply now what's 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:55.680 cool about this product to me is the 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:59.359 fact that it is the first one that both 00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.519 the Crazy Russian and myself have 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.760 directly influenced during the design 00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:08.080 phase so when shuttle did their h67 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:13.640 barebones we suggested to them that because uh LGA 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.520 1155 produces such low power and yet 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:22.600 capable gaming CPUs they should make the system a little bit more gaming capable 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.400 themselves by adding um additional 00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:30.079 capacity to the power supply so shuttle went ahead and took our suggestion and 00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:34.040 ran with it I mean we like to think it was we were the only ones who suggested 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:38.560 it but we probably weren't so with the took our suggestion and ran with it and 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:43.520 this barebones computer actually includes a beefy enough power supply 00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:49.000 that you could install a fairly high powered graphics card in it so check 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.719 this out this is an 80 plus 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.240 bronze where are we here I remember someone told me already what it is and I 00:01:53.479 --> 00:02:00.600 know that it's beefy but I don't know exactly what the capacity is we're going 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:07.039 to have to find this out just a sec so yes it is a 500 watt continuous power 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:12.319 supply which means yes you can throw a quad core CPU in here no problem you can 00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:16.879 throw a decent graphics card in here also no problem and you can load it up 00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:22.640 to the gills with all the hardware you want with yes once again no problem so 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:27.480 I'll show you guys the basics of the inside so right here you've got support 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:34.519 for two 3 and 1 12 in drives as well as some do not eat silica gel 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.360 let's go ahead and slide this baby back 00:02:34.519 --> 00:02:41.000 you've also got support for one 5 and 1/4 in drive so you just mount 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.879 everything onto this right here and then slide the whole thing back in it comes 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:49.120 with two SATA cables your thermal compound your mounting screws your 00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:54.280 socket cover as well as your power cable and your full color quick installation 00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:58.200 guide once you get the drives out of the way you can actually see the rest of the 00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:03.239 internals so here we go here is our front USB 3 which is included and 00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:07.519 already even plugged in with the unit here's our front USB 2 as well as our 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.360 front panel audio I'll show you guys the front panel in just a moment here's all 00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:16.080 of the rest of our internal connectors so let's see what we got here you guys 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:23.080 we've got oh check this out that's right dual PCIe 1 18 pin one six pin 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.680 very very nice we've also got support for one two three four SATA connectors 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:31.560 so that means you can throw a bunch of 2 and 1 half inch drives and run like a a 00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:37.319 raate array off them or something if you want we've got two Molex 4 pins and one 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:42.120 floppy connector coming off this power supply that is in addition to the oh man 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:45.439 look at this it's got an 8 Pin CPU power connector over here so they're only 00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:50.080 using four pins cuz that's all we really need for this as well as the 24 pin 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:56.400 connector so that is a truly beefy power supply we've also got a very um capable 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.879 looking cooling system on the vrm here 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:04.200 and I think that pretty much covers the power side of things so shuttle has also 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:09.159 I mean along the lines of making this very capable of putting a very capable 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:16.759 machine inside included four dim slots four SATA connectors as well as a 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.560 couple of mini PCIe uh connectors here 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:25.240 so you could put like a Wi-Fi card here look at that it also oh look at that 00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:26.759 Intel SRT support MSA only oh very neat 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:32.160 so they've included that functionality as well see that's the thing about a small form factor desktop is the kind of 00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:38.120 stuff that's normally reserved for notebooks tends to uh tends to find its 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:40.479 way in there so just for heat reasons I 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:45.240 really don't think that I I would expect to put anything bigger than about a GTX 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:49.960 560 in here even though the reality of it is with a 500 W power supply you 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:54.560 could probably do like a dual core and a 570 um I still wouldn't really recommend 00:04:52.960 --> 00:05:00.199 that but I'm going to go ahead and show you guys how a 560 will fit then I'm 00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:03.560 going to put the case back on and then I will show you the outside of the unit 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:07.960 now that we've oh we should look at the cooling solution first sorry guys so it 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.680 uses push pins which are not my favorite but as long as you're only going to use 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.240 it a couple times I guess it's not the end of the world and then there are 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:20.880 three heat pipes that lead up to what appears to be a 92 mm cooling fan which 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.639 has a shroud sort of functionality built into it so it's a little distance away 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:28.600 you can see the Shroud here from a radiator that sits right at the back of 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:33.960 the unit so the entire unit is cooled by this fan and this fan this one for the 00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:35.199 CPU and this one for the power supply so 00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:39.360 let's go ahead and show you guys how easy it is to install a graphics card in 00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:43.160 here I have no idea I'm just assuming that it's easy based on shuttles that 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:49.720 I've used in the past being fairly easy to install things in in spite of their 00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:51.440 uh small stature so let's go ahead and 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.639 position the graphics card correctly push down on it and there we go so you 00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:01.080 can see that there is plenty of room for my graphics card even once I have 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.800 installed so let's go ahead and throw this baby back in here my hold 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.080 on going have to give me a sec to get 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:14.680 these cables out of the way guys the card's in the drivve tray is 00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:18.560 back in I'm just going to show you guys a quick view of what the interior looks 00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:22.000 like once you've got that card installed so yeah it's a little cramped but that's 00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:26.800 sort of the reality when you're running a shuttle PC so here's the reason for my 00:06:24.919 --> 00:06:31.400 suggestion that you only really take it up as high as maybe a a GTX 56 rather 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:36.039 than going all the way to those Enthusiast class cards and that is how 00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:41.919 much ventilation space you're going to have for that graphics card so shuttle 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:46.599 has in their wisdom included ventilation holes right here which means that those 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:51.639 fans do have direct access to cool air from the outside which will then be 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.319 exhausted through the CPU heat sink and 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.160 then out the back of the case let's actually have a closer look at the back 00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.919 of the case so this is what it'll look like once you install a graphics card 00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:06.199 remember this is a z 68 chipset so you do have support for Lucid logic's Hydra 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:11.840 that means Intel SRT even if you do have a graphics card installed cuz it does 00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:17.560 have Onboard video we've also got eat as well as USB 2 USB 3 gigabit Ethernet a 00:07:15.479 --> 00:07:21.639 clear seos button which is kind of unique to see on like a I mean you would 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:25.120 typically expect these smaller form factor machines to be more value 00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:31.400 oriented but there you go it's there cool as well as our back audio 7.1 we've 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:35.919 also got spit if that's optical audio out our power in so that's on the back 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.319 of the power supply and moving over along to this side we've got a nice 00:07:37.479 --> 00:07:43.080 brushed metal finish this is sort of my expectation with shuttle they do a good 00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:47.360 job of the finish of their machines you can see the top as well and then let's 00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:50.440 have a look at the front of the box so this eject button sorry I pushed it in 00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:56.879 there's nothing there's nothing resisting it right now because there's no optical drive installed so that's uh 00:07:54.280 --> 00:08:02.440 that's the problem there we've got room for oh is is there space for two 5 and 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:06.720 1/4 in drives it would appear that there is let 00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:09.759 me find that out for you oh no there isn't here we go here we go so that's 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.960 where you can put like a media card reader or something like that okay and 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:20.039 then here we've got our front panel so that's front panel USB 3 that's a total 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:21.360 of four usb3 ports two USB 2 and there's 00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:27.199 your microphone Jack remember there wasn't one on the back it is on the front as well as your front headphone 00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:32.279 Port so you can see gorgeous little brushed finish on the front here as well 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.760 so thank you for checking out oh there's your power button just like that thank 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:41.719 you for checking out my unboxing and first look at I never actually even said 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:43.240 the model this is the shuttle s z68 RS
