00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.319
thanks to ifixit for sponsoring this video check out their protech toolkit at

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:11.519
ifixit.com forward slash Linus for three solid generations digital

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:17.199
storm has been making their small form factor gaming computers bigger and

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:22.400
bigger for some inexplicable reason but that all changes today they're showing

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:25.199
off the medina the event x and the v

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:29.199
locks x and those ones are pretty cool but this

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.040
this is the star of the show this is the digital storm

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:37.440
spark the kind of small form factor gaming machine that i might have

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.480
designed after i first laid eyes on mini

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:43.360
stx hardware back at computex last year

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:47.360
so inside this tiny box like look at this this isn't a ventum x for scale

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:53.280
like come on inside this tiny box you'll find tons of

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:56.239
storage expansion that is three m.2

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:04.799
slots and a two and a half inch drive bay you will find up to a core i7 8700k

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:08.240
you will find up to a gtx 1080 graphics

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.720
card up to 32 gigs of RAM and yes my

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:16.880
friends that is full custom hard-line water cooling with RGB

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:21.439
lighting so they've done a couple of cool things to get that kind of hardware

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:26.720
into this form factor number one is they have actually worked with swift

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:30.159
tech to design a custom block for the

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:33.360
mxm graphics card that is used by this

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:36.720
mini stx form factor number two is

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:38.960
they're using a super compact 92

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.720
millimeter radiator up here in the top as well as a

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:47.920
one of the smallest pump reservoir combos that i have ever seen up there

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:52.960
and number three is that they've designed their own custom chassis which

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:58.320
by the time this is released in uh knock on wood quarter two of 2018 will

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:03.759
have tempered glass for the side panels on both sides it's digital storm so it's

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.920
not going to be cheap once it's available you'll be able to customize

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.879
not just the color of your coolant but even the color of the chassis with any

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.280
one of their great paint jobs and while

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:20.160
it's digital storms so this thing is not going to be cheap if

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:28.000
you're a gamer on the go and you don't like the laptop paradigm this looks like

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.000
a pretty compact option

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.360
this video from ces was brought to you guys by ifixit yes my friends it is

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:40.640
courtesy of ifixit and their pro pro-tec toolkit that i'm able to cause the usual

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:45.599
havoc that i do here at the show taking apart everyone's prototypes be they

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.800
desktops laptops hell why don't we take apart a monitor this year i mean the

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:54.640
sky's the limit because it's got everything from pry tools to spudgers to

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:59.599
suction cups to their 64-bit driver kit that means that you will never get

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:04.480
stumped by a random screw that you just don't have that bit on you right now

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.760
as long as you don't lose them so check them out at the link in the video

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:14.000
description and a huge thanks to ifixit for allowing us to be here at ces 2018.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.840
thanks for watching guys if you disliked do that if you like hit like if you

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:21.840
really liked get subscribed and we'll see you at the next booth or suite
