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

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:11.000
together for our friends at Corsair they are actually doing a lot of messaging

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:15.759
around the Corsair dream PC these days and what that means is that you can buy

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:20.039
brand name components and build your own brand name PC so to speak so what

00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:24.279
they're saying sometimes to do it right you have to do it yourself basically

00:00:22.119 --> 00:00:27.480
they're encouraging users to load up on all the Corsair parts that they can

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:32.559
because what that means is that you're going to have good warranty support good

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.120
quality parts and generally a good

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

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

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:50.640
Smackover motherboard so that is an excellent base for any dream PC next we

00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:56.039
have Windows 7 Home Premium which comes with direct X11 it's got Aros snap which

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:00.120
I was actually confused on my uh my Windows 7 preview Aros snap means that

00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:04.400
you or Arrow Shake sorry means that you shake it and then all the other Windows

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

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:12.840
drag it to the side or to the other side

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

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:21.119
Arrow things are with Windows 7 anyway we got dx11 trim support and Windows 7

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:25.240
that's good stuff then cooling we have the Corsair H50 so this is their uh

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.560
fully integrated liquid cooling system and I'm going to show you the real Parts

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

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.720
course our solid state drive also included with the system the the memory

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

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:42.640
too much of that and then we have the Corsair power supply now something I

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

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:50.159
one of the reasons that Corsair is encouraging users to stick with Corsair

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:54.280
and to go with good brand name components for their own dream PC

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.439
because even though you're not buying this dream PC from a builder you are

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:02.719
buying all components that have good aftermarket support so you pick up some

00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:06.200
radon cards from XFX you got lifetime warranty on those you pick up memory

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:10.239
from Corsair you got lifetime warranty on that 5year warranty on a Corsair

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.560
power supply you've got a three-year warranty on an Intel motherboard so I

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:18.080
mean basically you're getting an extended warranty package three to

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.519
Lifetime years and you don't actually have to buy a pre-integrated PC now

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

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

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:37.480
Channel 6 gig memory kit with the Dominator airflow fan here's the Corsair

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:41.360
H50 CPU Cooler and it's actually running quite cool I really like this thing

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.400
actually and then up here I've got it kind of creatively mounted here is a

00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:48.159
Corsair p128 SSD it's actually uh

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

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

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

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.200
then we've got our 975 processor Smackover motherboard board and then

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

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.720
going to go crazy trying to focus on that but there's our hx1000 modular

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:13.159
power supply and I want you to check out a couple of cool features about this

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

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:20.239
cameraman to come around and have a look at the front those are actually empty on

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

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:28.840
so there's your hot Swap and then in terms of other really unique features

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.200
about this case I guess the biggest one has got to be how water cooling friendly

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

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

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.760
then the other big one is the cable management I put like no effort into the

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.640
cable management of this PC however it ends up looking really slick because you

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:54.000
got all these little rubber grommeted back pieces where you can route any

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

00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:03.280
belongs there it's awesome anyway thank you for checking out my blog video on

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.280
the dream PC
