1 00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:07,020 wow look at the size of this computer 2 00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:09,420 okay the NDT from HD computers isn't 3 00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:14,040 quite that big but it's like nothing I've ever seen before it's tall 4 00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:17,480 statue-esque even and it is packed with top tier components to the point where 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:22,080 you might kind of wonder if they're compensating for something regardless of 6 00:00:19,859 --> 00:00:25,260 that though it's a really cool concept for a case layout and they were kind 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,960 enough to send it over so we can tell you guys is it a complete hunk of junk 8 00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:33,000 or is it the next big Paradigm in case 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,860 design maybe both um R showed up with kind of a unique 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,020 feature that uh 11 00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:45,059 gives it some serious room to breathe here oh 12 00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:49,559 well there's your problem right there they glued on the side panel 13 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,420 when we reached out to customer service they told us they're using a high grade 14 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,440 specialized structural epoxy from the Aerospace industry and let me just put 15 00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:01,079 it this way I'm sure that that was the right call so 16 00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:06,299 uh Dr Linus is here 17 00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:07,500 to fix it up glue gun 18 00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:13,280 how do you know I was going to ask for a glue gun I need 20 cc's of hot glue stat 19 00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:17,760 foreign oh boy this is not Aerospace adhesive 20 00:01:16,979 --> 00:01:23,299 um at all but then again the Aerospace 21 00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:27,080 adhesive didn't work very well either so 22 00:01:23,299 --> 00:01:27,080 best of luck everybody 23 00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:36,860 oh crap okay oh boy jump extra on don't peel it 24 00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:41,579 off another patient saved all in the day's 25 00:01:39,659 --> 00:01:45,360 work now all we need to do is fire this puppy up and see if all of these vents 26 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,840 can give us enough airflow for our high-end Hardware 27 00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:53,399 that is this not the power button oh wait 28 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,079 there's the power button and there's this message from our 29 00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:02,579 sponsor zoho1 Zoho one brings together sales marketing Finance analytics and 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:07,020 support in a single unified platform like some kind of business Voltron it's 31 00:02:04,619 --> 00:02:11,160 amazing try Zoho won today for 30 days using the link below wait the script 32 00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:14,640 calls for me to show them the internals why did I close up the computer if we're 33 00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:18,620 going to show them the internals right away 34 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:24,720 now I just want to make something clear this is actually how it showed up with 35 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,959 the side panel no longer adhered to the side of the tower we reached out for 36 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:32,780 comment and they mentioned how disappointed they were with the adhesive 37 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:38,099 failure but bass but they reassured us that the computer 38 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:44,879 should still run fine more on that later I'm not sure that I 39 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,920 entirely agree with them the RTX 49d now 40 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:54,599 that the adhesive has come off the side panel seems to be just hanging here 41 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,400 anyway there is this bracket that's 42 00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:01,080 no way how do I even unpack all the levels of 43 00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:04,860 fail here the bracket is screwed on to the graphics card even if it's only 44 00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:09,300 adhered to the side panel but instead of being made of something with structural 45 00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:16,040 rigidity like steel or even aluminum actually made of acrylic acrylic guys at 46 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,040 least use two acrylics 47 00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:22,680 also these screws either weren't screwed in all the way or they are not Loctite 48 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,180 and they've come loose is this as shipped this is as shipped we have done 49 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:31,200 nothing else after the fact other than to test it with Labs I think the power 50 00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:34,980 button was in place but they moved it because the panel kept falling off so 51 00:03:33,540 --> 00:03:38,760 that's why the power button is you know just off to the side there to their 52 00:03:36,540 --> 00:03:42,840 credit and their Aerospace adhesive does seem to be better than our hot glue 53 00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:47,099 Aerospace these are terms that get thrown around a lot but don't be fooled 54 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,879 they're not particularly meaningful velcro is a Fastener developed for use 55 00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:55,680 in space but it's just velcro I don't want a 56 00:03:53,159 --> 00:04:01,580 velcro side panel now you want a velcro side panel the all velcro PC you do it 57 00:03:59,099 --> 00:04:09,420 up like this and it has a pump all right here we go this one kind of 58 00:04:05,459 --> 00:04:11,159 just slots in on the one side with fuzzy 59 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:15,000 tape I guess that'll keep it from rattling at least and then screws in on 60 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,940 the other side this appears to be the side panel that's actually intended to 61 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:19,940 be removed 62 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:28,620 why is that middle section damaged Ah that's not damaged that appears to be 63 00:04:25,979 --> 00:04:33,960 welding marks so rather than having these run the entire span they're welded 64 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:39,000 here so that they don't rattle all over the place 65 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:41,280 very hand crafted 66 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,419 um feel to it what are we looking at here basically 67 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:51,180 top of the line in terms of spec it's a 13 900 non-k probably just so that they 68 00:04:49,259 --> 00:04:57,360 can actually cool the bloody thing it's on an ITX motherboard the RG strix z790i 69 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,960 gaming Wi-Fi it's got 32 gigs of 70 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Kingston ddr5 5600 apparently that's 71 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,259 been updated to 6000 and they're running 72 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:10,800 a thermal right axp 120-x67 I guess we'll find out if this 73 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:18,180 is enough for core I9 and then this power supply almost certainly is that is 74 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:20,580 an 1100 watt sfx power supply 75 00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:24,600 here's some more handcraftedness it looks like the housings on these USB 76 00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:28,380 connectors had to be shaved down in order to get them to fit under the front 77 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:32,699 panel that's not in anything 78 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,280 but what is is the fact that this PCIe 79 00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:38,240 bracket on this GPU seems to be 80 00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:45,180 oh no the bracket seems stronger than the case the bracket seems fine it's 81 00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:50,580 actually the case that's moving around here I'd be lying if I said I didn't love the 82 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:56,460 concept overall though I mean look at it it's not much thicker than the GPU 83 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,620 itself the footprint is Tiny if you're 84 00:05:56,460 --> 00:06:03,840 the kind of person who's got a monitor ARM for example and wants to save space 85 00:06:00,539 --> 00:06:06,780 on your desk can you 4090 in much less 86 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:12,780 space than that and it's imposing it's really cool I actually have a lot of 87 00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:15,660 Hope for cooling too all of our fans are 88 00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:20,820 aligned so our intake side is all down this side and then they've got these 89 00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:23,520 nice wide open vents both at the front 90 00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:26,699 here and then all along the back here that are going to allow all that hot air 91 00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:30,620 to come out in theory 92 00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:35,699 only my GPU was attached to the computer oh and if only my power button was 93 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:40,139 attached now Labs took the power button off for some reason 94 00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:46,620 I can't fathom the Y oh what no hey ploof this power button 95 00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:49,380 is still in here did it just break oh yeah it kind of looks like they added a 96 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,220 new one yeah this is a completely different power button this seems to 97 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,840 just not work anymore well that's probably why well there's your problem 98 00:06:54,660 --> 00:07:00,060 thank you for that probably broke off uh 99 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,199 from here although this is cracked too well that might have been frustropping 100 00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:07,860 it I'm not sure from uh no no it dropped itself 101 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:13,139 that's not on us yeah this is a broken power switch it's hot glued in which 102 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:18,479 means I can remove it it just takes a little bit more time and it does seem to 103 00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:23,780 be the exact same style of switch that we have so 104 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:29,699 YOLO oh man this is one of those products 105 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,680 that really has a very DIY Vibe lots of 106 00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:37,020 good ideas here though check this out for example 107 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,340 you can get at the screws for the GPU by 108 00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:42,180 just sticking your screwdriver through one of these vents lttstore.com 109 00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:47,180 did I mention the low back force on the ratchet 110 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:57,900 one two screws holding in this graphics card that's what I said yeah okay 111 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,960 there's a lot of glue coming this up the LTT screwdriver is neither a chisel nor 112 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,180 pry bar minus Media Group and it's Associated companies take no responsibility for any accidental damage 113 00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:14,460 to your screwdriver or personal injury got it no no no no no no no 114 00:08:09,979 --> 00:08:16,520 it's bent how did the case get bent 115 00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:23,160 ah hey this is probably good enough where's 116 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,979 my glue gun at yeah that's an aerospace 117 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,220 quantity of regular glue while we're in here there's a couple more things for us 118 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:36,779 to appreciate though they're using a PCIe Gen 4 Riser clearly labeled as such 119 00:08:32,899 --> 00:08:39,659 and these look like pretty cool low 120 00:08:36,779 --> 00:08:43,680 profile DisplayPort pass-through cables these may be custom made as well looking 121 00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:46,980 at how they're both slightly different lengths to account for the different 122 00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:51,779 DisplayPort ports that they're plugged into on the card these are there so you 123 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,420 can have the gpuio facing down but still 124 00:08:51,779 --> 00:08:57,899 access it at the back one curious choice though is that they only run two even 125 00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:03,779 though there are three DisplayPort connections on this GPU and they totally 126 00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:10,440 had room to put an HDMI cut out here and instead I get no HDMI at all DisplayPort 127 00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:12,660 can be adapted to HDMI 2.1 128 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:17,940 but that's like 20 bucks for an adapter 25 bucks it's not cheap and I already 129 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,260 spent this computer we'll talk about that in a bit you guys want to know 130 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:27,720 something what this isn't at an angle you see that yeah okay 131 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:32,399 I think that might be why the screws aren't done up all the way in this so 132 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:36,899 that this can be at an angle to sit flat on the side panel as for why that's at 133 00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:41,100 an angle I can't tell if it's intentional or if this was bent in 134 00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:45,480 shipping but it does seem to be intentional based on how this screw goes 135 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:51,420 in here like it seems like it's supposed to kind of sit at an angle yes it's 136 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:57,080 definitely intentional because they got to make room for the Riser here yep 137 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,080 that's why it sits at an angle 138 00:09:57,540 --> 00:10:03,720 so cool though but it is really cool 139 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,839 maybe we'll talk about performance in a bit here I don't know how to get this 140 00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:11,100 power button working I can't find exactly the the spot where it's supposed 141 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,080 to sit I think we're just gonna have to kind of hope for the best here 142 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:19,920 all right so imagine if you took like four of these and then you put them in a 143 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:25,080 server rack imagine if you took an Xbox and you put it in a server okay yeah 144 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:29,880 I've imagined it now what but it's small and then you can just like pull them out 145 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,839 like imagine if you took a PS2 slim and put it in as much as we've dunked on 146 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,720 these guys for their hot glue we've given them this feedback and they have 147 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:42,420 expressed an interest in improving this through the use of screws I'm out of 148 00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:46,380 glue we have lots we have lots of people so 149 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,459 if they can't find a better adhesive which they won't please don't try 150 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:55,040 they're just going to put screws in this panel please do that yes thank you 151 00:10:57,380 --> 00:11:04,680 okay go for it oh no that's so crooked 152 00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:05,700 so crooked dude dude oh it's not that 153 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:10,380 bad what are you talking about 154 00:11:08,060 --> 00:11:13,860 it's so far off okay good enough look you can't even 155 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,380 tell from here turn it around look at this it's great 156 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:29,760 just leave the side panel off well no we 157 00:11:24,899 --> 00:11:31,980 gotta test it thermal test David no I am 158 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,360 putting this side panel on are you gonna put it on straight this time I'm gonna 159 00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:37,920 try okay 160 00:11:36,839 --> 00:11:42,420 okay please stay on all this can be yours for 161 00:11:41,459 --> 00:11:45,660 just was it six thousand dollars fifty seven 162 00:11:44,459 --> 00:11:50,880 hundred we did some price comparisons and if you 163 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:55,440 were to pick up a similar machine from the likes of a main gear you're looking 164 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:59,100 at about eight hundred dollars less and if you were to head over to PC part 165 00:11:56,820 --> 00:12:04,019 picker you're looking at about say eighteen hundred dollars less don't 166 00:12:02,459 --> 00:12:07,680 judge them too harshly though they're very small company and like I said 167 00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:12,180 before they're you know looking to improve I would say we've given them a 168 00:12:09,959 --> 00:12:16,740 few things that they could work on it's also very unique all those other 169 00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:20,700 Boutique sis are using like height y60s and stuff like standard cases I'm not 170 00:12:19,019 --> 00:12:25,440 saying that costs a thousand dollars to make the case well I don't know with how 171 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:32,360 handmade this is it just might yeah and you look at how many people don't 172 00:12:28,140 --> 00:12:32,360 I think we gave and use the cable times 173 00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:38,820 or we could add duct tape around last 174 00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:43,800 attempt I mean I have another novelty sized glue stick please oh my God we've 175 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:46,860 used that much glue yes with more glue I 176 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,360 am quite sure that we will win the day 177 00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:54,500 okay all right we ready oh yeah that's the right amount of glue 178 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,500 okay oh too far too far 179 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:02,100 yeah oh my God it up we're good 180 00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:09,480 put around the base too yeah really really you know let's

--> 00:13:17,720 hot enough to get the glue 184 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:25,079 okay I think we've succeeded test success 185 00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:28,260 does the power button work oh you pressed it

results really matter we had the lab test this thing ahead of time 190 00:13:46,139 --> 00:13:52,620 and the CPU maxed out at around 80 degrees which 191 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:54,740 even though it's a non-k actually pretty 192 00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:58,920 impressive I guess that's what a completely fresh supply of air that's 193 00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:04,440 basically unrestricted is going to do for you and our GPU managed to hit 194 00:14:00,899 --> 00:14:08,459 absolute max turbo topping out at 68 69 195 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,899 degrees nice as for loudness 196 00:14:08,459 --> 00:14:13,860 I'm going to give it a little bit more time but 197 00:14:11,579 --> 00:14:18,120 man especially with the fans facing the other side with this solid chunk of 198 00:14:16,139 --> 00:14:21,480 aluminum and all that glue caulking that we've got on it 199 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:26,100 acoustic glue actually does a lot to deaden the sound how am I only getting 200 00:14:23,459 -->

00:14:41,699 airflow scheme really does seem to work getting lots of hot air out the front 203 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:46,620 kind of coming out this way pulling cool air in the side and blowing a ton more 204 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,220 hot air out the back and actually we're getting rid of a fair bit out the top as 205 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:57,380 well just coming off the cooler for this GPU and it even looks like a radiator 206 00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:57,380 can you even hear this computer nope 207 00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:02,839 it's freaking quiet you know what else is quiet 208
