00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160
so today on my video blog we're going to be having a look at a system that I put

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:11,000
together for our friends at Corsair they are actually doing a lot of messaging

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:15,759
around the Corsair dream PC these days and what that means is that you can buy

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:20,039
brand name components and build your own brand name PC so to speak so what

5
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:24,279
they're saying sometimes to do it right you have to do it yourself basically

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:27,480
they're encouraging users to load up on all the Corsair parts that they can

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:32,559
because what that means is that you're going to have good warranty support good

8
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,120
quality parts and generally a good

9
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:39,200
functioning system so let's have a look at what we use for our Corsair dream PC

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:45,000
first of all I've got the Intel Core i7 975 as well as the Intel extreme series

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:50,640
Smackover motherboard so that is an excellent base for any dream PC next we

12
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:56,039
have Windows 7 Home Premium which comes with direct X11 it's got Aros snap which

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,120
I was actually confused on my uh my Windows 7 preview Aros snap means that

14
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:04,400
you or Arrow Shake sorry means that you shake it and then all the other Windows

15
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:10,000
go away or come back um sometimes there we go and then Arrow snap is where you

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,840
drag it to the side or to the other side

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
or to the top there so now I'm no longer confused about what all the different

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:21,119
Arrow things are with Windows 7 anyway we got dx11 trim support and Windows 7

19
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:25,240
that's good stuff then cooling we have the Corsair H50 so this is their uh

20
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,560
fully integrated liquid cooling system and I'm going to show you the real Parts

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,759
in just a second so not going to focus too much on the boxes we have a of

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,720
course our solid state drive also included with the system the the memory

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,399
box was kind of ugly but there's some memory so we're not going to really show

24
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:42,640
too much of that and then we have the Corsair power supply now something I

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,240
want you to notice about this box is it says it's got a 5year warranty that's

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,159
one of the reasons that Corsair is encouraging users to stick with Corsair

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,280
and to go with good brand name components for their own dream PC

28
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:58,439
because even though you're not buying this dream PC from a builder you are

29
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:02,719
buying all components that have good aftermarket support so you pick up some

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,200
radon cards from XFX you got lifetime warranty on those you pick up memory

31
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,239
from Corsair you got lifetime warranty on that 5year warranty on a Corsair

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,560
power supply you've got a three-year warranty on an Intel motherboard so I

33
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:18,080
mean basically you're getting an extended warranty package three to

34
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,519
Lifetime years and you don't actually have to buy a pre-integrated PC now

35
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:28,480
let's get this thing open here first of all and there we go so I'm just going to

36
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:32,360
show off what we've got in the dream PC here so here's our Corsair triple

37
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Channel 6 gig memory kit with the Dominator airflow fan here's the Corsair

38
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:41,360
H50 CPU Cooler and it's actually running quite cool I really like this thing

39
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:46,400
actually and then up here I've got it kind of creatively mounted here is a

40
00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:48,159
Corsair p128 SSD it's actually uh

41
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,560
velcroed in there just cuz I want people to be able to check that out and this

42
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:55,000
machine is going to be at trade shows so I don't want people ripping them out of

43
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,959
the hot swap drives that are in this case so that would be a really bad thing

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,200
then we've got our 975 processor Smackover motherboard board and then

45
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,360
down in the bottom I've got some lighting on it here I bet the camera's

46
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,720
going to go crazy trying to focus on that but there's our hx1000 modular

47
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:13,159
power supply and I want you to check out a couple of cool features about this

48
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:16,080
case as I mentioned you've got your hot swap Drive Bay so I'm going to get the

49
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:20,239
cameraman to come around and have a look at the front those are actually empty on

50
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:25,120
mine and he just tripped over all the boxes I put on the ground that's awesome

51
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:28,840
so there's your hot Swap and then in terms of other really unique features

52
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:32,200
about this case I guess the biggest one has got to be how water cooling friendly

53
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:37,360
it is first of all you can put a triple rad on the top and a single in the back

54
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:40,720
and see we've got three 120 mm blue LED fans up there looking pretty sweet and

55
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,760
then the other big one is the cable management I put like no effort into the

56
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,640
cable management of this PC however it ends up looking really slick because you

57
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:54,000
got all these little rubber grommeted back pieces where you can route any

58
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,400
feasible cable I mean I managed to mount a hard drive there and it looks like it

59
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:03,280
belongs there it's awesome anyway thank you for checking out my blog video on

60
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:03,280
the dream PC
