00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.440
The Cooler Master glacer 240l CPU Cooler delivers the convenience of an

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:17.920
all-in-one and the performance of a custom water cooler click now to learn

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:22.439
more welcome to a video about one of the most bizarre products that I've

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:26.480
encountered in quite some time the Gigabyte brick Series in General Uses

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:31.320
the low power consumption and heat output of fourth generation Intel Core

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:36.280
Series processors to achieve a stunningly tiny form factor without

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:40.079
compromising performance to nearly the extent we would have seen in the past

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:44.719
they've got everything from extremely slim bricks to the big fat bricks Max

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

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.480
outfitted with Intel Iris Pro Graphics to deliver a pretty darn satisfying

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.160
gameplay experience at 720p in modern games making it kind of perfect as a

00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.600
home theater PC that can handle some light gaming or as a steam machine but

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:09.119
today we don't have any of those bricks we have the bricks projector which uses

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:13.080
a similar size chassis to the bricks Pro but instead of using that extra space

00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:18.880
for powerful hardware and a beefy heat sink it actually crams a 90 Len LED

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:25.119
backlit wvga that's 854x480 projector with 1.4 WT stereo speakers

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

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

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.040
lens for the projector on the sides not a whole lot other than the speaker

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:44.360
grills and an intake ventilation hole for the projector component that lives

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

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.719
I/O with HDMI out mini DisplayPort out

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:57.799
gigabit Ethernet two more usb3 ports power in a Kensington lock and finally a

00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:03.159
discrete input for the projector itself that's mini HDMI giving it the

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:09.840
flexibility to allow it to be used with any other device that supports HDMI such

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.480
as a a notebook or like a a PC within a

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:16.160
boardroom or something like that Gigabyte conveniently includes an HDMI

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.680
to Mini HDMI cable since most people won't have one of those lying around

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.239
which I think is a nice little inclusion all right thanks for watching guys I

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:27.519
think ah gotcha now we're not done yet let's

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.560
crack this baby open removing the four screws from the bottom and using the

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:37.280
little handle we can pull off the bottom then remove one more screw to completely

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.560
open up the bricks projector the 1.7 GHz

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.680
dual core core I3 4010u processor with

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.680
its hd4400 Graphics is soldered so we

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.360
won't be changing that but once we're inside we can upgrade the included n

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

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

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:07.000
RAM and storage are not included by default the internal guts also give us a

00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:11.319
look at how this bad boy is being cooled the projector lamp is cooled by that

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:16.040
fresh air intake that I showed you guys on the side with a copper heat sink

00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:20.480
attached by thermal pads then the air exhausted from that heat sink goes

00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:24.959
directly into the intake for the CPU Cooler which has a larger fan on it that

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:28.920
uses a blower design to pump the air through a shrouded aluminum heat sink

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:33.400
then right out of the chassis everything else inside is is passively cooled all

00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:38.159
right so back to the outside the integrated projector it's really nothing

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:42.519
special it's got no Keystone adjustments or other projector like settings so you

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

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

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.519
in terms of diagonal inch sizes but it

00:03:53.400 --> 00:04:02.000
should be noted that Acer's entry-level Pico projector the c120 is 200 bucks and

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:07.120
that gets you 10 extra lumens but is otherwise pretty much the same in terms

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:10.120
of raw spec if you really want to get something better in a compact projector

00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:15.880
you're probably looking at something more like a GP series from Ben Q those

00:04:13.239 --> 00:04:21.199
perform much better but they're around $500 so while the brick series is

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.520
supposed to sell based on compactness in general Gigabyte has a model that is

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:30.880
available for $250 less than this one with exactly the same specs as this one

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:34.560
that's half the size of this one but does not include the projector so the

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:39.320
big selling point for this particular bricks is obviously the versatility of

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:44.240
it it could live in an office boardroom and save the hassle of having a separate

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.120
projector or operate as a PC in a dorm

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:50.080
with a normal monitor hooked up most of the time via those normal outputs but

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.919
with the ability to Chuck it on the included little bendy tripod which is a

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

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.120
lights off when you want to watch a movie or something like that so

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

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

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
