WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.640
So the backstory for this box,

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:04.760
all right, I guess it's more of a crate really,

00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:07.200
is pretty interesting.

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.320
So Intel brought me, Sevedis, and Ann Munition,

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.640
who you may or may not be familiar with,

00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.720
but we'll link those guys down below,

00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.160
down to do a video about their 8086 processor.

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:19.560
And we thought it was just kind of like

00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:24.240
we were on a panel about PC gaming and game streaming.

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:26.640
And then they brought us down again

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.480
and actually surprised us with computers

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.600
that were based on sort of what we imagined

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.990
as our dream PCs.

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:38.470
And I was particularly surprised

00:00:38.470 --> 00:00:41.950
because it is a formidable challenge

00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:44.970
coming up with the PC system

00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:50.550
for the guy who literally already has every PC system.

00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:55.880
This is the wall of video cards.

00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.720
So what did they come up with?

00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:00.880
I guess we're about to find out, aren't we?

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.520
After I tell you about our sponsor for this video, Synergy.

00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:07.160
Synergy allows you to share a mouse and keyboard

00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:08.600
across multiple computers,

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:10.340
and it's even compatible with Windows,

00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:12.840
macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:23.180
Check it out at the link in the video description.

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:24.500
Okay, so first things first,

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:29.500
let's get this moved somewhere a little more picturesque.

00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.580
Okay, that seems better.

00:01:31.580 --> 00:01:34.910
So there were a couple of sort of guiding things

00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:36.230
that I had said in the video,

00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:39.790
obviously, I love quiet systems

00:01:39.790 --> 00:01:42.030
because in my mind,

00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.150
there's just no reason to have a loud system anymore

00:01:45.150 --> 00:01:47.290
now that cooling technology has advanced

00:01:47.290 --> 00:01:48.990
to the point that it has.

00:01:48.990 --> 00:01:50.610
Another thing that I mentioned

00:01:50.610 --> 00:01:53.650
was my love of retro machines

00:01:53.650 --> 00:01:55.130
and not retro in the sense

00:01:55.130 --> 00:01:57.110
that they have really old hardware inside,

00:01:57.110 --> 00:02:00.210
retro in the sense that they're kind of like,

00:02:00.210 --> 00:02:02.550
like classic machines that have been updated.

00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:04.790
So one of my favorite things that we've done

00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:06.230
in the last couple of years

00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:08.610
has actually been the sleeper series

00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:10.430
that Alex has worked on.

00:02:10.430 --> 00:02:13.730
Those, these are just kind of like random boxes

00:02:13.730 --> 00:02:17.240
that we've found at the local free geek

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.140
and then converted into, you know, bang in gaming rigs.

00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:24.900
I was gonna do all these by hand

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:28.320
just to like add to the suspense of the video,

00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:30.280
but I saw how many there were.

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.460
I don't think they can handle that much suspense.

00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:34.860
You know, the thing about the internet

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:39.040
is somewhere, someone is into it.

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:43.230
No matter what it is, somewhere,

00:02:43.230 --> 00:02:46.180
someone is like, oh yeah,

00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:49.160
taking out screws and putting them in.

00:02:49.160 --> 00:02:50.320
Could watch that all day.

00:02:54.320 --> 00:02:57.060
So what's really interesting is that

00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:00.540
instead of going to the usual suspects,

00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:04.300
you know, BS Mods or Lee Harrington or whoever else

00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:07.000
in the PC modding scene,

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.420
Intel actually solicited the help of a company

00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:15.380
that's more into like Hollywood props building

00:03:15.380 --> 00:03:18.460
and less into computers.

00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:21.000
And so they were basically just given the footage

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.980
of us describing our dream machines

00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.960
and told to make them come to life.

00:03:29.140 --> 00:03:31.130
Oh, uh oh.

00:03:31.130 --> 00:03:32.370
So when we set up this space,

00:03:32.370 --> 00:03:34.650
I actually forgot that there's a monitor

00:03:34.650 --> 00:03:35.690
that goes with the system.

00:03:35.690 --> 00:03:39.570
So I'm gonna go ahead and get this out of the way

00:03:39.570 --> 00:03:41.030
as much as it pains me to do so,

00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:43.050
because this is an amazing, amazing computer.

00:03:43.050 --> 00:03:44.470
This is an amazing monitor right here,

00:03:44.470 --> 00:03:48.650
which isn't to say that in spite of what it looks like,

00:03:48.650 --> 00:03:51.850
this one is the worst gaming monitor ever.

00:03:51.850 --> 00:03:56.060
And you'll see what I mean in a minute here.

00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:58.780
I get such a kick out of this thing.

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:00.620
I've seen it before and I'm still,

00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:09.190
like I'm laughing inside just in anticipation.

00:04:09.190 --> 00:04:10.430
So that's it.

00:04:10.430 --> 00:04:13.150
It's not the most practical approach

00:04:13.150 --> 00:04:15.330
to skinning up a monitor

00:04:15.330 --> 00:04:17.550
that I could have possibly imagined,

00:04:17.550 --> 00:04:19.830
because as you guys might already know,

00:04:19.830 --> 00:04:21.530
I already suspect,

00:04:21.530 --> 00:04:24.910
yes, the front cover here does in fact

00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.370
cover up the corners of the monitor.

00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:30.170
So it's actually kind of hard to use.

00:04:30.170 --> 00:04:33.010
And these dials, these dials don't do anything.

00:04:33.010 --> 00:04:37.590
But this is definitely the most complete attempt

00:04:37.590 --> 00:04:40.550
at retroizing a modern display

00:04:40.550 --> 00:04:41.830
that I think I've ever seen.

00:04:41.830 --> 00:04:45.210
So they're using like a high density

00:04:45.210 --> 00:04:49.670
kind of prop foam here that they've shaped and painted.

00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:51.710
And then they've painted the back of the display.

00:04:51.710 --> 00:04:54.590
And what I think is a really great,

00:04:54.590 --> 00:04:58.330
really close approximation to the kind of ugly,

00:04:58.330 --> 00:05:01.290
greeny, browny, tan color

00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:03.090
that you'd often find on older systems.

00:05:03.090 --> 00:05:05.470
I don't know if that plastic was just cheaper

00:05:05.470 --> 00:05:08.070
or if they actually thought that looked space age

00:05:08.070 --> 00:05:09.050
or whatever, but.

00:05:09.050 --> 00:05:12.070
So I'm sure you guys are eagerly anticipating the system now

00:05:12.070 --> 00:05:13.410
that you've seen this.

00:05:13.410 --> 00:05:15.790
This thing is unbelievably cool.

00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:17.990
I mean here, actually under this very table

00:05:17.990 --> 00:05:19.110
we're opening it on,

00:05:19.670 --> 00:05:21.650
this is an example of why it's impossible

00:05:21.650 --> 00:05:24.160
to send Linus a dream system.

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.800
I already have a murder box.

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.480
Like, now I should preface this

00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.150
by saying that while some people are going to love this,

00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:40.090
there are going to be others

00:05:40.090 --> 00:05:46.510
who are actually kind of upset at what happened here.

00:05:46.510 --> 00:05:49.520
Because the case that was chosen

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:53.900
for this particular retro sleeper, well,

00:05:54.340 --> 00:06:00.690
let's just say there aren't a lot

00:06:00.690 --> 00:06:05.940
of good condition IBM 5150s left out in the wild.

00:06:08.260 --> 00:06:11.110
And now there's one fewer

00:06:11.110 --> 00:06:16.130
because this is what they sent over.

00:06:16.130 --> 00:06:20.450
And absolutely tricked out.

00:06:20.450 --> 00:06:23.350
And you can't really call it a sleeper anymore

00:06:23.350 --> 00:06:29.180
because of this gorgeous acrylic window on the top.

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:34.120
But it's a tricked out IBM 5150 chassis.

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.160
And the level of attention to detail

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.140
in this thing is unfreaking real.

00:06:39.140 --> 00:06:40.920
I'm going to walk you guys through it here.

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.410
Before we fire it up for the first time,

00:06:46.410 --> 00:06:50.550
we first have to appreciate one of the finest details here.

00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.930
So you can see, obviously this old chassis

00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:57.830
was not designed for modern standard ATX components.

00:06:57.830 --> 00:07:00.730
So they had to create their own acrylic back plate.

00:07:00.750 --> 00:07:03.290
So basically the whole thing came with, check this out,

00:07:03.290 --> 00:07:08.640
those are WAN logos cut into the the grill for the radiator.

00:07:09.320 --> 00:07:13.580
And then also our motherboard and our GPU,

00:07:13.580 --> 00:07:16.180
which is mounted using a PCI express riser.

00:07:16.180 --> 00:07:19.740
The most impressive part to me though is this.

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:23.520
They actually integrated the original power switch.

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:25.160
So instead of having a chintzy little

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.640
power flippity do that on the back,

00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:33.000
switch for the power supply.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.120
and they redid all the internal wiring.

00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.460
Have a look here.

00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:41.580
So that it actually functions as the switch

00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:43.400
for the back of the power supply.

00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:48.560
So sick.

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.440
So sick.

00:07:50.440 --> 00:07:51.780
So check this out.

00:07:51.780 --> 00:07:54.660
Not only does the original power button work

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:57.720
and have an LED behind it to indicate that the system's on.

00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.080
So even though these floppy disk bays aren't functional,

00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:02.440
check this out.

00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:04.860
Drive activity is still handled

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:07.120
by the original LEDs.

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.580
And then these slits down the middle

00:08:09.580 --> 00:08:11.760
are actually functioning as an intake

00:08:11.760 --> 00:08:15.020
for cooling the graphics card.

00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:15.860
No, it's fine.

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:16.700
Real flop.

00:08:16.700 --> 00:08:17.540
Oh no, you can't.

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:19.320
That's cool though.

00:08:19.320 --> 00:08:20.780
You're ruining everything, Brandon.

00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:22.080
What, what, what?

00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:26.850
You're supposed to talk about it on camera.

00:08:26.850 --> 00:08:35.180
Oh.

00:08:35.180 --> 00:08:36.020
Wow.

00:08:36.020 --> 00:08:36.860
Okay.

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:39.000
Anyway, the cooling system's actually pretty ingenious.

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.920
So to keep dust from getting in,

00:08:41.920 --> 00:08:43.940
they've got an intake here

00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:44.560
and an intake here.

00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:48.680
And then the whole thing just kind of blows out the top.

00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:50.820
So they've got like, I don't know, whatever that is,

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.660
about three quarters of an inch.

00:08:52.660 --> 00:08:53.660
The CPU.

00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:55.880
Now this was interesting because everyone else

00:08:55.880 --> 00:08:57.840
got 7980XEs.

00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.340
And so I was kind of like, yo, I got an 8086K.

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:04.540
Like, what's the deal with that?

00:09:04.540 --> 00:09:06.650
And they were like, well,

00:09:06.650 --> 00:09:09.870
we thought the 8086K made perfect sense

00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:13.580
given that this is an original IBM 5150 chassis,

00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:14.420
which had the original 8086K chassis.

00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:15.260
Which had the original 8086K chassis.

00:09:15.260 --> 00:09:16.080
Which had the original 8086K chassis.

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.980
Which had the original 8086K chassis.

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:17.960
Which had the original 8086K chassis.

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.600
You know what we should do?

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.900
We should get Alex to look at this

00:09:21.900 --> 00:09:24.510
and see if he thinks he can beat it.

00:09:24.510 --> 00:09:25.350
Yeah.

00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:32.390
So I told Intel that one of the coolest projects

00:09:32.390 --> 00:09:34.070
I think we've done over the last little while,

00:09:34.070 --> 00:09:35.210
or some of the coolest projects

00:09:35.210 --> 00:09:36.930
have been the sleeper machines.

00:09:36.930 --> 00:09:41.910
And this was kind of their take on fusing retro with new.

00:09:41.910 --> 00:09:47.040
No, those don't do anything.

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:48.630
Okay.

00:09:48.630 --> 00:09:49.630
We didn't grade the Intel level.

00:09:49.630 --> 00:09:50.870
You can go.

00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:53.730
So I've already found one unexpected side effect of.

00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:55.610
Turn down brightness on the monitor.

00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:57.110
Yeah, sure.

00:09:57.110 --> 00:09:57.950
How's that?

00:09:57.950 --> 00:09:59.240
Oh, that's fine.

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.310
Okay.

00:10:00.310 --> 00:10:01.850
Just put that back on there.

00:10:01.850 --> 00:10:03.030
So this is cool.

00:10:03.030 --> 00:10:06.870
Because the 8086K is the highest performance

00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:09.610
single thread processor on the market.

00:10:09.610 --> 00:10:10.490
Check this out.

00:10:10.490 --> 00:10:13.230
Our local steam cache is actually working

00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:14.770
better than ever before.

00:10:14.770 --> 00:10:15.890
So when we tested it,

00:10:15.890 --> 00:10:19.270
we were having a hard time getting such impressive numbers

00:10:19.270 --> 00:10:20.430
on titles that have a lot of performance.

00:10:20.430 --> 00:10:23.410
But we actually ran into CPU bottlenecks.

00:10:23.410 --> 00:10:24.990
But on this one,

00:10:24.990 --> 00:10:29.270
81 megabytes per second downloading Grand Theft Auto 5

00:10:29.270 --> 00:10:31.110
from our local cache.

00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:33.810
That's really good for that title.

00:10:33.810 --> 00:10:36.470
Yeah, Grand Theft Auto 5 over 80.

00:10:36.470 --> 00:10:37.990
That single thread performance.

00:10:37.990 --> 00:10:40.200
Goddamn.

00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.920
No matter how cool your system is,

00:10:42.920 --> 00:10:45.960
you can't get anything done when Windows decides.

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.690
Hey, how about now?

00:10:48.690 --> 00:10:52.190
And I actually have an IBM Model M from 1980.

00:10:52.190 --> 00:10:56.260
From 1986 that I can hook up to it here.

00:10:56.260 --> 00:11:00.560
That looks so good.

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:02.140
Like so good.

00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:03.460
Oh, well this blows.

00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:08.300
I actually don't have my PS2 adapter here.

00:11:08.300 --> 00:11:10.260
So disappointing.

00:11:10.260 --> 00:11:16.190
I am not very familiar with ASRock's bio style.

00:11:16.190 --> 00:11:18.170
Let's just go for five gigahertz full auto

00:11:18.170 --> 00:11:19.770
and see if it manages that.

00:11:19.770 --> 00:11:21.210
Boom.

00:11:21.210 --> 00:11:25.030
Speed, five gigahertz.

00:11:25.030 --> 00:11:25.870
I'll be curious to see

00:11:25.870 --> 00:11:27.550
if that download goes even faster now.

00:11:27.550 --> 00:11:28.370
Yup.

00:11:28.370 --> 00:11:30.390
We just hit 85 peak.

00:11:30.390 --> 00:11:33.320
Pretty sure that's the best we've seen so far.

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:34.160
All right.

00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:38.040
So let's see how she performs.

00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:41.800
FPS max, zero.

00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:45.320
And we are sitting somewhere in the neighborhood

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.320
of 250 to 300 frames per second at any given moment here.

00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:54.520
I mean, it still doesn't help me aim at anything,

00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:56.160
but it is what it is.

00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.290
Man, that's butter smooth.

00:11:58.290 --> 00:11:59.570
So there's a TN panel.

00:11:59.570 --> 00:12:04.230
So frankly, not the most color accurate experience ever,

00:12:04.230 --> 00:12:07.570
but this thing's running at 144 Hertz.

00:12:07.570 --> 00:12:12.560
Of course we expected that with like an 8086K

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:19.960
and a GTX 1080 TI, but man bots suck.

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:20.800
Oh.

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:26.350
Oh, they still suck.

00:12:26.350 --> 00:12:27.190
They still suck.

00:12:27.190 --> 00:12:30.650
I just, I own that I'm also not very good.

00:12:30.650 --> 00:12:31.330
So that's pretty much it.

00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:35.790
What we've got so far is the coolest retro themed

00:12:35.790 --> 00:12:39.330
gaming system that I have ever seen.

00:12:39.330 --> 00:12:43.420
But I really don't think this is the last

00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:44.260
you're gonna see of this.

00:12:44.260 --> 00:12:45.840
And I'd love to hear from you guys.

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.740
What would you like to see us do to this thing

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:50.000
to take it to the next level?

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.460
Please leave your comments below

00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:55.340
because we've already got some ideas on our own,

00:12:55.340 --> 00:13:01.270
but we're definitely interested in what you guys think.

00:13:01.270 --> 00:13:03.250
And we're also interested in telling you guys

00:13:03.250 --> 00:13:04.570
about Thermaltake.

00:13:04.570 --> 00:13:07.770
Thermaltake is celebrating 20 years of Thermaltake

00:13:07.770 --> 00:13:09.850
with their level 20 cases.

00:13:09.850 --> 00:13:12.370
They've got four styles to choose from the VT, the XT,

00:13:12.370 --> 00:13:14.350
the GT, and an updated version

00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:16.370
of their triple chambered full tower case.

00:13:16.370 --> 00:13:17.990
They all feature sleek modern design

00:13:17.990 --> 00:13:19.950
with rounded front corners and tempered glass.

00:13:19.950 --> 00:13:21.910
And they've got ample room for cable management

00:13:21.910 --> 00:13:24.010
and radiators if you're into water cooling.

00:13:24.010 --> 00:13:26.690
They also feature USB type C connections for the IO

00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:28.970
and you can check out the link in the video description

00:13:28.970 --> 00:13:31.510
to get yours on amazon.com.

00:13:31.510 --> 00:13:32.590
So thanks for watching guys.

00:13:36.550 --> 00:13:37.770
but you can hit that button.

00:13:37.770 --> 00:13:38.610

where to buy the stuff we featured.

00:13:41.950 --> 00:13:42.930
Ha ha, good luck.

00:13:42.930 --> 00:13:44.270
At the link in the video description.

00:13:44.270 --> 00:13:48.250
You could get an 8086K or a GTX 1080 TI or a 2080.

00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:49.570
So as far as most people can tell,

00:13:49.570 --> 00:13:51.510
it's pretty similar until RTX comes.

00:13:52.570 --> 00:13:53.910
Also down there is our merch storage,

00:13:53.910 --> 00:13:55.790
has cool shirts like this one and our community forum,

00:13:55.790 --> 00:13:57.840
which you should definitely join.

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.780
One thing's for sure,

00:13:58.780 --> 00:14:01.140
this mouse has to go a little more off-white.
