00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,440
The Cooler Master glacer 240l CPU Cooler delivers the convenience of an

all-in-one and the performance of a custom water cooler click now to learn

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,439
more welcome to a video about one of the most bizarre products that I've

4
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,480
encountered in quite some time the Gigabyte brick Series in General Uses

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:31,320
the low power consumption and heat output of fourth generation Intel Core

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:36,280
Series processors to achieve a stunningly tiny form factor without

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,079
compromising performance to nearly the extent we would have seen in the past

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,719
they've got everything from extremely slim bricks to the big fat bricks Max

9
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:48,960
that could accept four 2 and 1 half inch hard drives to Bricks Pro which can be

10
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:53,480
outfitted with Intel Iris Pro Graphics to deliver a pretty darn satisfying

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,160
gameplay experience at 720p in modern games making it kind of perfect as a

12
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:02,600
home theater PC that can handle some light gaming or as a steam machine but

13
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:09,119
today we don't have any of those bricks we have the bricks projector which uses

14
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:13,080
a similar size chassis to the bricks Pro but instead of using that extra space

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:18,880
for powerful hardware and a beefy heat sink it actually crams a 90 Len LED

16
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:25,119
backlit wvga that's 854x480 projector with 1.4 WT stereo speakers

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,920
inside the casing so let's take a quick tour of the device on the front we've

18
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:35,399
got two USB 3 ports and a headphone or or optical audio outjack as well as the

19
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,040
lens for the projector on the sides not a whole lot other than the speaker

20
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:44,360
grills and an intake ventilation hole for the projector component that lives

21
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:49,560
inside the top of the unit then at the back we find the main Affair in terms of

22
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:51,719
I/O with HDMI out mini DisplayPort out

23
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:57,799
gigabit Ethernet two more usb3 ports power in a Kensington lock and finally a

24
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:03,159
discrete input for the projector itself that's mini HDMI giving it the

25
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:09,840
flexibility to allow it to be used with any other device that supports HDMI such

26
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,480
as a a notebook or like a a PC within a

27
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,160
boardroom or something like that Gigabyte conveniently includes an HDMI

28
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,680
to Mini HDMI cable since most people won't have one of those lying around

29
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:22,239
which I think is a nice little inclusion all right thanks for watching guys I

30
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,519
think ah gotcha now we're not done yet let's

31
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,560
crack this baby open removing the four screws from the bottom and using the

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:37,280
little handle we can pull off the bottom then remove one more screw to completely

33
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,560
open up the bricks projector the 1.7 GHz

34
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,680
dual core core I3 4010u processor with

35
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,680
its hd4400 Graphics is soldered so we

36
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,360
won't be changing that but once we're inside we can upgrade the included n

37
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:57,879
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 mini PCIe module and we can add up to 16 gigs of ddr3l s

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,040
in memory and an MSA SSD it should be noted that this is a barebones unit so

39
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:07,000
RAM and storage are not included by default the internal guts also give us a

40
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:11,319
look at how this bad boy is being cooled the projector lamp is cooled by that

41
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,040
fresh air intake that I showed you guys on the side with a copper heat sink

42
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:20,480
attached by thermal pads then the air exhausted from that heat sink goes

43
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,959
directly into the intake for the CPU Cooler which has a larger fan on it that

44
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:28,920
uses a blower design to pump the air through a shrouded aluminum heat sink

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,400
then right out of the chassis everything else inside is is passively cooled all

46
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:38,159
right so back to the outside the integrated projector it's really nothing

47
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:42,519
special it's got no Keystone adjustments or other projector like settings so you

48
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,360
just have to fuss with it to get the image right and without a very dark room

49
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:53,400
you aren't going to be getting a usable image much bigger than 35 to the low 40s

50
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,519
in terms of diagonal inch sizes but it

51
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:02,000
should be noted that Acer's entry-level Pico projector the c120 is 200 bucks and

52
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:07,120
that gets you 10 extra lumens but is otherwise pretty much the same in terms

53
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:10,120
of raw spec if you really want to get something better in a compact projector

54
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:15,880
you're probably looking at something more like a GP series from Ben Q those

55
00:04:13,239 --> 00:04:21,199
perform much better but they're around $500 so while the brick series is

56
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:26,520
supposed to sell based on compactness in general Gigabyte has a model that is

57
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,880
available for $250 less than this one with exactly the same specs as this one

58
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:34,560
that's half the size of this one but does not include the projector so the

59
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:39,320
big selling point for this particular bricks is obviously the versatility of

60
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,240
it it could live in an office boardroom and save the hassle of having a separate

61
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,120
projector or operate as a PC in a dorm

62
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,080
with a normal monitor hooked up most of the time via those normal outputs but

63
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,919
with the ability to Chuck it on the included little bendy tripod which is a

64
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:57,320
$5 value you can get them for five bucks and then point it at the wall with the

65
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,120
lights off when you want to watch a movie or something like that so

66
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,680
with that in mind I would love to see you guys comment on this video and let

67
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:10,960
me know what you would use a Mini PC with a built-in projector for or tell me

68
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:17,039
if you think it's crazy and you wouldn't use the thing at all guys like and share
