1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,560
so i'm pitching to brandon i'm like this is gonna be a case unboxing it's gonna

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,960
be like exciting you're gonna be excited look at this

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,639
it's one case but it comes in two

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,840
gigantic not to mention very heavy boxes

5
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:20,240
and he's like now i've seen that before

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,119
with the haf stacker it was terrible

7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,000
yeah that was terrible but but but no

8
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:32,160
this time it's gonna be different this is the case Labs

9
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:37,200
thw10 a massive chassis

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,520
for a project i'll get to that later for a project

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:48,160
that i've had on the go for several months now an attempt to

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:52,399
take seven gamers one CPU and make it productive

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:56,160
six 8k video editing stations running

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,680
off of a single motherboard and for that

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:02,559
i needed a case that was pretty unique

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,520
so let's open it up and make sure that everything fits

17
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,320
damn it

18
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:22,439
oh i bent my key i need a knife

19
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,920
so step number one here is figuring out

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,479
how the devil to open this thing well that explains why it didn't come off

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:41,280
this is like it's a it's a it's an odd sized case so

22
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:43,439
this is actually two case boxes

23
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,640
one put down on top of the other and they don't fit all the way

24
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:58,880
i can do this i'm a professional unboxer brandon

25
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,200
second person my ass wow

26
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,399
this thing is really big

27
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:12,480
i guess while i open it up i should explain

28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:18,640
so once it's finished this system is going to have two 28 core cpus which is

29
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:24,560
why it needs such a large motherboard tray so we're going to be using a an ssi

30
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:29,280
eeb sized motherboard so that doesn't fit in just your standard atx case

31
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:35,920
then much of the rest of the case is going to be taken up by radiators because the

32
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:37,760
finished system is actually going to have

33
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,160
six high-end graphics cards if i can get my

34
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,040
way they're gonna be quadros which would put this system somewhere in the

35
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:51,280
neighborhood of seventy to a hundred thousand dollars

36
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,120
but when you consider how much a you know professional workstation with a

37
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:59,280
xeon CPU and a quadro graphics card costs in the first place 64 gigs of RAM

38
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:05,120
and all that good stuff for six of them in one tower i don't

39
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:07,280
know it's not that far off is it

40
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,000
come on it's like giving birth

41
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:22,159
wow from just looking at the one side panel

42
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:28,840
you clearly did not get a sense of the full scope

43
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,840
of this monster

44
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:40,159
i'm a professional unboxer brandon so back to why we need all that space so we

45
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,280
got this giant motherboard we got all these graphics cards we need cooling so

46
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,120
there's gonna be i don't remember how many but somewhere in the neighborhood

47
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,080
of like eight radiators to make sure that our dual cpus

48
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,840
and six graphics cards will all be adequately cooled

49
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,080
then things get really interesting because

50
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,879
you can see back here we've got almost as much space for hardware behind the

51
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:12,400
motherboard tray so there's not going to be really any graphics cards here or

52
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:15,040
anything as we do on the other side

53
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,239
and i have big plans for this so

54
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:24,479
i've been doing some experimenting with a really unorthodox storage solution

55
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:29,120
so have a look at these these are u.2

56
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,960
to pci express times 4

57
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,520
slot adapters so i was concerned that because i was

58
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,040
going to be filling up all of my pci express slots with graphics cards that i

59
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,840
was going to have to get down to single slot somehow i wasn't going to have any

60
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:50,479
way to put sufficiently high speed storage in the machine because these are

61
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:56,400
professional workstations i want every boot drive to be super fast so what i

62
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:58,000
wanted to do was take the four u.2 slots

63
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,120
here that's a really unique feature of this board and connect them to optane

64
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:09,120
memory drives however the standard two and a half inch u.2

65
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,560
form factor at the time i was planning the project anyway

66
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,520
didn't have capacities that were high enough for me to have enough space for

67
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:22,960
six vms to have a decent sized boot drive so i figured okay here's a

68
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,120
solution we adapt them to pci express slots so

69
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:30,960
my intention is actually to use a bunch of the space

70
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,600
back here to mount

71
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,520
these adapters from micro SATA cables

72
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:42,960
and somehow or rather

73
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,720
like oh like that or something i don't know so that i can have full size pci

74
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,400
express optane drives uh these 750 series are just here for testing

75
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:57,840
purposes then it gets even more interesting

76
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,759
i haven't actually even done a test fit for this yet

77
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:06,800
but there's a company that makes a pci express 16x like it just plugs

78
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:13,120
into a slot to eight times slot adapter using a

79
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,840
bunch of plx chips so what i was kind of hoping when i saw that is that i could

80
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:23,039
put all of those over here somehow somewhere and then every vm could have

81
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,880
its own usb card dedicated to it so that it could have full plug and play now

82
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,919
that we've got the skeleton open we can go ahead

83
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:35,520
and peek behind door number two so case Labs cases are like quite

84
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:41,600
modular so you get all these like pieces and you

85
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,960
kind of screw them together yourself

86
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:48,960
that also allows them to have a lot of different options so if you were the kind of person who isn't living in 2018

87
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:54,400
and wants you know a lot of five and a quarter inch bays in the front or whatever then you wouldn't go for these

88
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:58,639
like full sized or nearly full size we've got one five and a quarter inch

89
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:02,560
bay up there on each side uh like grill fronts

90
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:07,440
this is all just mounting hardware in case accessories

91
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:12,000
holy crap okay feet are on so let's start popping

92
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,880
some panels on this thing we've got the dual

93
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:21,240
ventilated top panel so all the side panels which are tempered glass by the

94
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,300
way i have now checked

95
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,560
i actually don't know what i'm more excited for at this point

96
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:35,599
doing the finished build or just

97
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:40,160
getting my stuff off of this horrible test bench for the rest of my testing

98
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,360
you know maybe you guys can let me know for a build like this

99
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,680
do you prefer you know

100
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:53,120
legit workstation hardware to to look legit in workstation

101
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,400
or do you look at an expensive machine that i mean let's face it we are going

102
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:01,759
to game on it and see those bare green RAM pcbs and go

103
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:04,160
ugh like should we put heat spreaders over those just get some after-market

104
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:12,520
ones i want to know so even though this motherboard

105
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,520
dwarfs a normal board

106
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,599
it still looks tiny in here

107
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,960
i don't think this system is going to be movable by a single person

108
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,960
when we're done

109
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,440
it here so lonely

110
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:36,159
so that's pretty much it let's uh take it upstairs

111
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,159
okay

112
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,159
i'll be fine

113
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:48,399
okay project bad door opening plan here we go

114
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,440
oh no okay okay

115
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:59,440
oh make me move

116
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:59,440
sorry not meaning to be rude but just

117
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,959
oh okay what

118
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:10,399
have i unleashed

119
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,279
all right do you want to grab an end i don't feel like doing this on my own anymore

120
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,760
okay ready and one two three

121
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:19,760
there we go

122
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:27,410
hopefully this thing still works after being transplanted it's always a concern

123
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:30,399
wait what where are all my drives

124
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:37,360
wait no i didn't plug in the SATA cable that

125
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,800
is going to power all the drives so uh

126
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,640
we're gonna shut this down but that's okay that's the end of the unboxing of

127
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,959
the thw10 hope you guys enjoyed it and stay tuned because there are going to be

128
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:51,040
more updates on this project for sure there's gonna be some crazy hardware

129
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:53,839
