picture on reddit and the fact that it comes with a gigantic hiking style backpack but i'm excited because if this is the future of portable gaming bam then it looks pretty good to me sort of okay this one's going to be complicated and it's going to be brought to you by our sponsor viewsonic their elite xg321 ug mini led monitor offers a 4k native resolution ips panel with 144hz refresh rate it comes with g-sync ultimate r4 and a quantum dot color layer so it's great for both gamers and creators learn more at the link below whether it's the illness fog or something else truthfully i'm a bit confused right now because they sent me two graphics cards two power supplies and really no instructions so why don't we begin by opening up the e blazer wait dear Linus congratulations you've been chosen to do the e bladster test put together an e-blaster without a manual this is totally not because i haven't created an english manual yet oh crap it's a backpack mountable full freaking computer what could go wrong first thing i did was lay the thing down on the monitor okay hold on i apparently get one small tutorial how to put the legs on okay this is an early prototype this is their their low volume production they have apparently actually shipped some units to individuals so it's it's 3d printed but they are apparently working on injection molded parts for here here here here here here and here and i mean as it is it works by now it should be more clear what we're looking at here but we still don't know why we are looking at here according to the creator jonan bonsen he had grown tired of the compromises of gaming laptops high prices poor thermals and of course lower performance compared to gaming desktops so why not have something that achieves all of that i mean if the battery life is going to be negligible and you're going to need a giant bag to cart the thing around anyway you might as well save a buck and get the customizability that a desktop affords of course the journey from that concept to here has been complicated and my journey from this to a built computer is apparently going to be very complicated i should probably give pluf a call maybe he can clarify why i have two power supplies and two graphics cards to start with okay truthfully i have done almost nothing so far but the reason i called is that i wanted to get a better understanding of the parts you sent me i don't see a CPU but i have two graphics cards and two power supplies is this some kind of special magic computer no no no no no no there should be a CPU with the memory and the SSD oh oh you're right i see it i see it yeah it's in there did you get it open well you haven't uh you haven't addressed my two power supplies into graphics cards oh sorry yeah so basically i was thinking of doing like an average gamer build 750 watt and a 30-70 but it can technically fit a three slot card up to 13 inches so there's a 30 80 ti and a thousand watt power supply in there if you wanted to go that route wait yeah so you asked me have i gotten it open yet because you are expecting that to be a challenge i suppose uh maybe you know what i think you underestimate me i don't want your life lying goodbye see ya we got this whoa i started taking off screws at the top and okay uh this is neat we've got some io pass through here network front audio so that's your headphone microphone jack for two usb 2's two usb 3s where'd you plug in display here's the back so it seems to be uh stamped aluminum which is which is good because it's lightweight but don't expect it to be the strongest thing in the world you know what i mean i actually don't see any case fans so i guess it better perform like an open air test bench because it sure won't perform like a case with cooling fans oh oh oh oh these are locks oh okay well that one came up oh okay these appear to be quad SSD mounts no shortage of storage capacity in this thing this bracket here seems to be designed to accommodate pretty much any ac to dc power brick that you could require for what seems to be a 24 inch gaming monitor shark gaming not a common brand here in north america so i don't know anything about this particular model but i'd say that as long as you don't have a super high profile brick yeah it should probably fit in here as for how you would handle plugging into a monitor that does not require an ac to dc adapter yes there does seem to be a way to do that you can either come down here or it looks like this oh okay this piece can be permanently popped out it's actually still held in place with these little spot welds here so i don't want to mess with that right now hey yeah i've got another question for you okay what is it that made you think i wasn't gonna be able to handle this i got this i don't know it's uh there's no instructions and there's nothing it's a bit of a prototype so there's no um arrows or anything did you open the back i did i did it kind of fell off okay so i i think i'm in good shape but it is also quite possible that i will end up calling you sure yeah it's yeah it's small form factor uh that was that's kind of the main hard part though is finding those tabs so as long as you're able to get it off then you should be okay for the most part i always get it off okay right you know what though now that we've got it open there's some really cool stuff in here that we should take a closer look at first of all this has got to be the flattest displayport cable that i have ever seen and if i had to guess i would say that this is not meant to be a like desktop full-size displayport cable this looks more like it's some kind of ribbon cable used for displayport signaling in like laptops or integrated devices but that they have just you could see probably soldered a full-size displayport connection to and then heat shrink wrapped themselves and this is another cool thing apparently this this leg design is patented by them and i can see why they would have done that it's actually super cool when you press the button okay you can see the teeth loosen up so that's what allows the feet here to move freely okay and as soon as you let go the teeth lock the feet into place and they're not infinitely adjustable but from the outside the adjustments are so fine that honestly i couldn't tell i had to open it up and look at the spacing of the teeth to find out what exactly the adjustment granularity was all right we're going full bore 1000 watt power supply for our motherboard we've gone with a b660i gaming wi-fi from ASUS's rog strix lineup why this because it has everything we need dual m.2s one on the front with cooling one on the back with not as much cooling ample vrms for the core i7 that we're going to be installing i say core i7 i meant core i5 12600k i guess they expected me to take the more reasonable path for the build team couldn't decide what they wanted me to build today something that makes sense or something that is absolutely balls to the wall so we've got Corsair vengeance ddr5 400 mega transfer per second which doesn't sound that impressive until you learn that it is a cl36 kit which yes for those of you who have not been paying close attention for ddr5 is is pretty darn tight for cooling we've gone with the lga 1700 version of the Noctua l9i that's the thing about builds like this is that while they can be big you don't have a lot of depth to them right because you're trying to make them packable you know what i bet that's why we went with the core i5 because those higher end alder lake chips really do spit out a lot of heat i assure you that was not the fault of the tool that was the operator you can still safely sign up for a notification for when the LTT Store screwdriver is going to arrive there are different colors by the way so you can see this motherboard slides exactly in between these rails here there's no room to move a word of advice for e-blaster you guys do not actually want to target tolerances that tight for mass production that will be a problem for you man this is gonna look awesome the length for my Ethernet run is perfect lands right in the two and a half gig port on my motherboard here you can see that but what i would have thought they would have done is some kind of lower profile boot here especially if they're you know diying their own cables and stuff curiously we actually are not going to be relying on any of the rear i o of the motherboard we're actually just going to use all of the front i o headers man this is actually going to be a super easy build what were those guys worried about they think covid addled my brain can't build computers anymore i remember when i was the tech tip man while we're connecting the modular cables to the power supply i am extremely pleased to bring you guys finally the answer to what this random extra connector hanging off the 24 pin cable is silverstone emailed me when i expressed confusion about it in december of 2020 and said hey it's to allow the power supply to detect voltage drop and ripple changes faster to improve voltage regulation and ripple and noise performance you know i'm actually liking this thing so far instead of screwing into the top of the pci rear bracket here like we would normally do the way they have it set up you actually screw in from the bottom and it clamps it from the other side i actually also do not think that this is the best card design for this particular chassis you can see that that fan back there is going to be completely suffocating well not quite completely but nearly completely i don't know if this card's a very good idea this could be another spot where e blaster could benefit from having some additional mesh because almost any GPU is going to be designed to draw fresh air from the front of the card like this so you're going to have that mesh cover here and anything that you can even passively get rid of out the back of a card or around the bottom of the card that's going to be a good thing yeah it might heat up the back of your monitor a little bit but that's a sacrifice i'm willing to make i'd rather a cool GPU and a hot monitor than the other way around yeah this is a more traditional style card what's funny about this one though is it's actually a taller than usual i don't know if either of the gpus they sent me are compatible brandon now you're cooking with GPU do we have any clearance issues no okay it can accommodate high profile cards it feels like a high quality riser it doesn't say anywhere on it that it's gen 4 but hopefully it is i moved their weird 3d printed pci slot cover from the outer slot to the inner one and the reason i did that was because i was hoping to actually still get away with the 3080 ti and i'm hoping to do that by having enough space behind the card see that that it can kind of get rid of some of that hot air somehow hopefully maybe but without drawing all of it into the CPU there's a little sandwich there see that oop well now you can see it oh oh crap man how am i making this worse the thing is i'm not saying this is any less secure than a regular case in fact i would say it's the opposite of that the fact that you've got all of the load being born vertically like this means probably pretty good the issue is that because the focus of this product is portability and like this could be thrown around in a backpack or something i would like to see something bracing the back of the cart that's awesome i mean considering how long this even take that this took like an hour to film i'm sitting here talking to you guys instead of being focused on building and i have no instructions now that i've had it fall apart on me i think i have a much better understanding of how this is supposed to work this clip kind of like holds it and then the top piece and the other one kind of cover it or something wait you told me to post it before closing it and i didn't do it this thing looks so awesome brandon did you even get like a like a glamour shot of it that looks amazing now it's all closed up it looks sick you should just get get some like get some get some brandon's going on you ready uh-oh classic you close the panels before you what is that yeah what are you doing why are you mad okay is it this four pin never plugging in that stupid four pin connector again well did i plug it into the wrong spot or something no see that that's why i got confused silver stone it's definitely heavier now you know to the credit this hinge design i mean it's pretty good considering how heavy it is but it's you know in an earthquake you definitely notice there's not much in the way of postcodes on this board because it's itx but it looks like it's a vga code and it didn't take me long to figure out that i did make a small boo-boo i never actually plugged in the PCIe riser that'll come i'm closing it up the system has posted in safe mode it might be because you are an idiot all right i don't really like this straight up thing that we got going on here but i can fix that okay it's definitely they make these adjustments look very easy in the video maybe it's just a matter of like not being jacked enough but that is not that easy i do wish this was a little more attractive if i have to see it above my it kind of makes it feel like the monitor has gigantic like made for children style bezels like uh like i expect to see a huge vtec logo here you know you know technically nothing would prevent you from putting a bigger monitor on it yeah it's just vasa but good luck fitting it into the backpack when you're done oh we're going we're coming back to the backpack don't you worry shark gaming um my first impression of you is not favorable this looks like a tn panel thankfully it's 240 hertz but i was right this is in fact a tn panel so trying to run a torture test here oh wow CPU package 100 um i can definitely feel an aura of warmth around it that poor CPU cooler is not getting fresh air but honestly i feel like that might be a bit of a configuration error on our part because we could have easily put a higher profile cooler on here and then i don't think it would be an issue at all it would do two things it would a be a bigger heat sink and b allow the fan on the top to draw fresh air in from outside the case rather than taking that recirculated air from our rtx 3080 founders that's blowing a lot of hot air around inside the case did i remember to put thermal compound on brandon did you ever actually see me put it on the CPU oh my god do i have to pull the whole thing oh no it's definitely not my finest tech tips moment you know what i got thermal compound all over myself and i was getting it all over things and i was like kind of annoyed so i think i got a little distracted at the time let's find out oh i did put thermal compound on oh there you go that's good well why is that at 100 freaking degrees then i even got a pretty good spread like that's fine and now my install is corrupt i don't know does this case work yeah yes it holds hardware should we have put a slightly bigger cooler on it yes would i recommend using a founders card probably not i would i would probably lean towards a different style of card but but none of that means that this concept doesn't work and that your Windows will break what i want to know next is how's the transportation like in the backpack let's let it attempt its repairs but otherwise i think we're just gonna move on hardware info is gone brandon i had hardware from desktop it's got prime95 was the last thing i installed i installed for market hardware info before i installed prime95 prime95 is gone the actual executable is gone is this part of the repair process microsoft you just remove all the last i mean it's kind of smart actually yeah i'm at 55 degrees at idle right now the GPU's not even doing anything we can't even blame the GPU spitting hot air all over the place we're pretty much reaching equilibrium here so our rtx 3080 ti is performing exactly as we'd expect and in spite of all that heat being thrown around our CPU temps actually haven't changed we're still sitting at around anywhere from 50 to actually yeah they're all sitting around 50 degrees on all the p-cores wow i haven't looked at this game on a tn monitor in a while it's not better let's just put it in the backpack none of it has anything to do with the case i will give you my personal Linus tech tips guarantee now another thing that e blaster wanted to make clear is that this is not the final form for their backpack and i should certainly hope not it's really not anything special and the zipper's broken also speaking of zippers there's an exposed zipper both here and here meaning that there will always be a zipper up against your panel which is not something that i would recommend is this really portable is this a competitor for a gaming laptop for someone who you know lands a lot or whatever else right now my gut feeling is i don't know guys but let's put it on the back let's cinch up the waist straps and we'll see if my feelings change like i said this zipper is broken so i can't actually do it up this is this feels a little sketchy for a very specific customer yeah i could see a total because it's not just the case right like that's the thing you got to remember i could see a total all-in-one gaming machine actually making a ton of sense compared to other gaming aios because you can build it yourself it's price competitive and infinitely customizable but i don't think this one is designed for me i just am not the target market what i am is a person who will tell you about our sponsor micro center micro center is one of the

of times that i actually have to carry a full gaming rig i'd rather have an sff and a portable monitor or something like that then fully commit to this form factor and if i traveled a ton well then i would probably spend the extra on something like an ASUS x 13."}
