if you've been watching lately you'll already know that we've been having a
lot of fun smushing exceptional gaming machines into incredibly small form
factors and if you've been subscribed to our channel for a longer period then
you'll know that we've also been covering tiny non-gaming Ultra compact
PCS for years well then it was only a
matter of time before a product would come along that blurred the lines
between these two categ atories you can call it Ultra form factor you can call
it small compact Gigabyte calls it
bricks VR gbbn i7 HG
6-160 but I call it the kleenex box of
annihilation or the but will it bring you Tears of
Joy or tears of suck well it'd be a
crying shame if we didn't find
out Rose Will's 25u adjustable open
frame rack is a wide range easy to
install server Rack or cabinet for small businesses home offices and Studios
check it out now at the link below so to
put this product in perspective if the
were the the size of the outer box it came in it would still be small enough
to make it into our recent small form factor case Roundup which you can check
out here but it gets far better than
that Gigabyte has done some incredible engineering work here and managed to fit
a formidable gaming rig into a volume of
only 2.6 L that is a mere third of the
size of the smallest case in that round
up I mean seriously if this machine were
filled with chocolate milk I could literally drink it in one sitting which
I will begin to do
now now the chassis of our top tier config is 110 mm Square by 220 mm tall
with a dark anodized aluminum finish that subjectively looks a lot more
premium than its lower tiered kitchen a
styled Brethren but still fall short of looking as good as it could you know it
pains me to say this but in this case while I have to give them credit for not
going full gamer I think it might have looked a little better especially in a
home theater without the
orange flipping it around we find a healthy helping of IO 3 USB 3 5 gig
ports and 2 usb3 10 gig ports one type A
and one type c and it's got more stuff that we like gigabit Ethernet with audio
out and in and some we don't external
antennas come on guys those are so 1997 now here's one of the big product
differentiators it's got two HDMI 2.0
ports and two DisplayPort mini ports
that is where the VR sticker on the box
comes from this thing has a VR grade
dedicated graphics
card Gigabyte made opening the kabo
really easy this is a key consideration for something that'll be sold as a
barebones machine for you to choose your own OS storage and memory just remember
though guys that it won't be entirely plug-and playay so Factor these items
and any other accessories into your
budget just four screws hold the outer chassis on on then a few more
conveniently marked little guys hold together what we're calling the music
box for nerds oh oh I just broke a small thing
but it's okay it's actually a pretty beefy cooler for like a 1062 fully
custom gpus there's the Dual mini display ports there's the Dual
hdmis gpus down there uh looks like his
RAM on the back no but we've got power
delivery on the back here and then we've got uh I actually can't oh okay so
they've got memory under a heat pipe over here yeah there it is so the memory
is here and here look at that everything about this thing is custom down to the
printing on the vrm modules expandability is like really compact in
here so you've got one m.2 then you've got another that runs either PCI Express
or SATA m.2 you got your two sodiums and
then and so you can actually oh this is cool so you can actually install a 2 and
1/2 in drive
here okay then so it's a pint siiz PC
with a GTX 1060 in it but can it actually deliver butter smooth frame
rates in games without melting well from our favorite games to
synthetics like unen super positions performance test and even its VR
benchmarks this branding is officially
living up to its promise and the caboa
was quiet across all of our tests even
when slogging through the VR test on the
very demanding future setting with the GPU hanging around the mid
80s CPU thermals though are a bit of a
different story Ida 64's FPU stress test
turned the Kap into a a bit of a flaming
hamster wheel we had to double check our sound meter yep that's right 70 plus d
and even then the CPU was in the high 90s throttling down by as much as
25% we were thinking maybe it was due to
our slightly unfair synthetic workload
so we fired up Adobe Premiere and encoded a video in 4k with well pretty
much the same results
this was a bad idea but how big of a deal all this is really depends on your
expectations this isn't a full fat
workstation but Gigabyte never said it was and aside from their claim that it
has similar upgradeability to a full-size PC Thunderbolt 3 would
probably help a lot for me to say that that's fair the kapura pretty much lives
up to all of the points listed on the product page
it's a great fit for VR in your living room or home
theater and thanks to its size you can
easily take it with you on the go I'm
giving this thing uh two jugs
up we need slightly smaller computers
