WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:10.960
be like exciting you're gonna be excited look at this

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:14.639
it's one case but it comes in two

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:17.840
gigantic not to mention very heavy boxes

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:20.240
and he's like now i've seen that before

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:25.119
with the haf stacker it was terrible

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.000
yeah that was terrible but but but no

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:32.160
this time it's gonna be different this is the case Labs

00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:37.200
thw10 a massive chassis

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:41.520
for a project i'll get to that later for a project

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:48.160
that i've had on the go for several months now an attempt to

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.399
take seven gamers one CPU and make it productive

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:56.160
six 8k video editing stations running

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.680
off of a single motherboard and for that

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:02.559
i needed a case that was pretty unique

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.520
so let's open it up and make sure that everything fits

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.320
damn it

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:22.439
oh i bent my key i need a knife

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.920
so step number one here is figuring out

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.479
how the devil to open this thing well that explains why it didn't come off

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:41.280
this is like it's a it's a it's an odd sized case so

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.439
this is actually two case boxes

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.640
one put down on top of the other and they don't fit all the way

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.880
i can do this i'm a professional unboxer brandon

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.200
second person my ass wow

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.399
this thing is really big

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.480
i guess while i open it up i should explain

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

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

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:29.280
eeb sized motherboard so that doesn't fit in just your standard atx case

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

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.760
finished system is actually going to have

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.160
six high-end graphics cards if i can get my

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.040
way they're gonna be quadros which would put this system somewhere in the

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:51.280
neighborhood of seventy to a hundred thousand dollars

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:55.120
but when you consider how much a you know professional workstation with a

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.280
xeon CPU and a quadro graphics card costs in the first place 64 gigs of RAM

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:05.120
and all that good stuff for six of them in one tower i don't

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:07.280
know it's not that far off is it

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:10.000
come on it's like giving birth

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:22.159
wow from just looking at the one side panel

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:28.840
you clearly did not get a sense of the full scope

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.840
of this monster

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

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:45.280
got this giant motherboard we got all these graphics cards we need cooling so

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:49.120
there's gonna be i don't remember how many but somewhere in the neighborhood

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.080
of like eight radiators to make sure that our dual cpus

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.840
and six graphics cards will all be adequately cooled

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.080
then things get really interesting because

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:06.879
you can see back here we've got almost as much space for hardware behind the

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:12.400
motherboard tray so there's not going to be really any graphics cards here or

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:15.040
anything as we do on the other side

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.239
and i have big plans for this so

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:24.479
i've been doing some experimenting with a really unorthodox storage solution

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:29.120
so have a look at these these are u.2

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:32.960
to pci express times 4

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:37.520
slot adapters so i was concerned that because i was

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.040
going to be filling up all of my pci express slots with graphics cards that i

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

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:50.479
way to put sufficiently high speed storage in the machine because these are

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:56.400
professional workstations i want every boot drive to be super fast so what i

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:58.000
wanted to do was take the four u.2 slots

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:03.120
here that's a really unique feature of this board and connect them to optane

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:09.120
memory drives however the standard two and a half inch u.2

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:12.560
form factor at the time i was planning the project anyway

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:17.520
didn't have capacities that were high enough for me to have enough space for

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:22.960
six vms to have a decent sized boot drive so i figured okay here's a

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.120
solution we adapt them to pci express slots so

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:30.960
my intention is actually to use a bunch of the space

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:33.600
back here to mount

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:39.520
these adapters from micro SATA cables

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.960
and somehow or rather

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

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:52.400
express optane drives uh these 750 series are just here for testing

00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:57.840
purposes then it gets even more interesting

00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:01.759
i haven't actually even done a test fit for this yet

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:06.800
but there's a company that makes a pci express 16x like it just plugs

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:13.120
into a slot to eight times slot adapter using a

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

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:23.039
put all of those over here somehow somewhere and then every vm could have

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

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:31.919
that we've got the skeleton open we can go ahead

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:35.520
and peek behind door number two so case Labs cases are like quite

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:41.600
modular so you get all these like pieces and you

00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:42.960
kind of screw them together yourself

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

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

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:58.639
like full sized or nearly full size we've got one five and a quarter inch

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:02.560
bay up there on each side uh like grill fronts

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:07.440
this is all just mounting hardware in case accessories

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:12.000
holy crap okay feet are on so let's start popping

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:16.880
some panels on this thing we've got the dual

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:21.240
ventilated top panel so all the side panels which are tempered glass by the

00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.300
way i have now checked

00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:30.560
i actually don't know what i'm more excited for at this point

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.599
doing the finished build or just

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:40.160
getting my stuff off of this horrible test bench for the rest of my testing

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:45.360
you know maybe you guys can let me know for a build like this

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:47.680
do you prefer you know

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:53.120
legit workstation hardware to to look legit in workstation

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

00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:01.759
to game on it and see those bare green RAM pcbs and go

00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:04.160
ugh like should we put heat spreaders over those just get some after-market

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:12.520
ones i want to know so even though this motherboard

00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:12.520
dwarfs a normal board

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.599
it still looks tiny in here

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:22.960
i don't think this system is going to be movable by a single person

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:22.960
when we're done

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.440
it here so lonely

00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:36.159
so that's pretty much it let's uh take it upstairs

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.159
okay

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.159
i'll be fine

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.399
okay project bad door opening plan here we go

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:53.440
oh no okay okay

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:59.440
oh make me move

00:08:55.839 --> 00:08:59.440
sorry not meaning to be rude but just

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:06.959
oh okay what

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:10.399
have i unleashed

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

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:19.760
okay ready and one two three

00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.760
there we go

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:27.410
hopefully this thing still works after being transplanted it's always a concern

00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:30.399
wait what where are all my drives

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:37.360
wait no i didn't plug in the SATA cable that

00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:38.800
is going to power all the drives so uh

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

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:46.959
the thw10 hope you guys enjoyed it and stay tuned because there are going to be

00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:51.040
more updates on this project for sure there's gonna be some crazy hardware

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:53.839
