welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
linkis here we are in the Silverstone Suite where they have a wide variety of
new stuff on display some of this is super new some of this is super not
quite as new but we're just going to kind of go from left to right here and
I'm going to pick some of the highlights that I think are really cool so this is a case Mod's Dream It's a dual 140
millimeter fan filter with magnets so all you do is you cut a hole in your
case it doesn't have to be super beautiful or anything like that you take
this guy stick it on there and it's going to look super clean no matter what
you did any mistakes you made or whatever else these are an updated
version of their magnetic fan filters that use mesh that is so fine that you
actually can't really even see it so this is going to pick up any of the
smallest dust particles and filter those out before they start clogging up your
your system or potentially risk you know getting build up on something and having
a short or anything like that moving right along we've got this which is
extremely cool so these ones right here the black ones are only for Silverstone
power supplies and unlike other individually sleeved cables these ones
are using a braided nylon so we're not I
mean okay so yeah you can talk about mdpc uh sleeving all you want this is a
significant step above that in terms of
the quality these will be completely resistant to any kind of cutting or
damage and they will just sort of just
feel nicer look nicer just better in every possible way they not only have
the black ones for their own power supplies but also multiple colored ones
in the form of extensions that'll be universally compatible even with other
power supplies there's one more neat accessory here I want to show you guys
so you have a 5 and 1/4 in Bay on your notebook okay cool you don't use your
optical drive forget about it put an SSD in this okay it adapts the native
connector that's inside your Bay to a 2 and a half inch Mount and you're Off to
the Races you've added an SSD to your notebook or even a second SSD at that
point now we're going to move over to this table here where we've got sort of
an updated line uh some updated products in the Treasure storage Series so
they've got a tubay small enclosure this
guy right here is USB 3 they have a 2bay
larger enclosure this one support raid USB 3 and EA which actually drives
inside it right now as well so it's quite heavy here very solid construction
so solid piece of aluminum on the front brushed for a very nice finish let's go
ahead and open that up so these you can just pop out it's totally toolless you
just use the handle right there and last but not least they have a 4B version of
pretty much that one they're also getting into mobile accessories so this
is this is cool actually this is a 7 mm slim 2 1/2 in uh external drive so you
can put either a slim hard drive or a slim SSD in there as long as it's 7 mil
so I'll pull out the old iPhone comparison here just so you guys can see
it's not that much thicker actually it's about the same as an iPhone 4 and then
in terms of the size this way it's uh not that much bigger so very very
convenient very rugged because it's made out of what appears to be a solid piece
of aluminum around the outside here so very very whoops very strong once you do
up the screws they've also got a couple of mobile charging accessories so this
this is kind of neat because it takes ablea batteries I mean yeah there's solar charging ones there's ones that
you charge over USB but it's there's something to be said for the convenience
of being able to say oh crap I can't charge my thing I have nothing I have no
access to a wall outlet but I can go buy
some batteries or I carry AA batteries with me or whatever else so there's a two battery one as well as a four
battery version of that available we're going to wrap up this clip of the
Silverstone Suite with a couple of cases here so we recently uh did a video on
the NC Tech tips Channel of the sg9 well
this is the sg10 which is basically the same case very Innovative case very
compact case takes 4 2 1 12 in drives
two 3 and 1/2 in drives two dual slot
graphics cards an matx motherboard up to
like a th000 watt power supply or whatever you can fit in a standard ATX
huge Tower cooler it's a very very well engineered case and what they've done is
they've taken the plastic bezel off of it and they've added a more Silverstone
looking uh aluminum and and mesh bezel
that is much more in line with sort of the the design styling that I'd expect
from them the way that things stay cool enough in a chassis like this is there's
actually fans built into the side panel and a very large air penetrator fan on
the top that forces air into the chassis and it's it should be filtered I don't
know where the top of this is but I'm quite certain that it's filtered so it forces her into the chassis while
keeping dust out of it and if you've heard of Intel's new platform this is
the PTU 13 so that's their their super
low power sort of Highly integrated platform so check this out the board has
an integrated power supply right here power in AC no big deal okay and then it
adapts that to or rather you need it sorry you need a power adapter to go
into here so it's a DC to to DC power supply so it's got things like SATA
power output try to get you a better angle on that so you can plug in your
single Drive which is going to sit right up here on the lid you've got two SATA
data connectors and Silverstone has a special cooler for it that also is able
to keep the CPU cool as well there's a PCI forx slot on this particular Intel
board but I don't know if you'd be able to use it but the point of this is not
necessarily maximum expandability to a sodum slots as well as an MSA slot here
as well as a mini PCIe for wireless so it's not necessarily expandability but
more just to do with the size so in this case we have a full computer excluding
the external power supply that is basically in the form factor that we
would have seen a 5 and a/4 inch external optical drive only a few short
years ago don't miss any any of our CES 2013 coverage and don't forget to
