in 2014 Intel sent us the space capsule
and it was cool in 2015 they sent us the
master system which frankly wasn't that cool it is now 2016 and if Windows
release patterns are anything to go on
then this one
should be cool
okay so as usual i'm equipped with my
instructions oh come on the box itself
and this isn't usual
my smoke machine for added dramatic effect
i'm sure this stuff's good for you packing peanuts
the worst thing on earth okay so first
is a strap i get the symbolism here
Intel's thinking what shall we send a strapping young
gentleman like lina sebastian
okay there is
an led flashlight there is a gerber knife
nice i can complete the rest of my unboxing with this
that seems like dangerous it's the kind of thing that you know big liability
concerned companies like Intel usually avoid it's like sending knives
without 16 warnings over top of them telling you not to cut yourself with it
too hard and that's pretty much it
okay well space capsule to the rescue
ah yes okay so first up is the Intel classified
brief enclosed which the instructions assure me are actually okay to read
department of strategic services Intel corporation agent
you have been activated as of this morning
sorry i'm fine really
nature's top system builders have been recruited to create the most extreme
gaming rig imaginable so in a nutshell Intel is launching a
competition where 12 system builders will all compete to build the best
possible most amazing gaming system so you the public can vote for which of the
12 finished systems will get given away so seven of them and you can pay
attention to that using Intel rig challenge and you can cast
your vote by sharing your favorite team on twitter
with that hashtag voting can be done up to one time per day through september
3rd and each vote wins them a chance to win one of the final seven rigs that
will be raffled off at pax prime but
let's find out what else is in here
how lighter
that's a taser dude no it's a lighter
it is not a taser i mean i'm not going to touch it and
find out but jeez
look at that
that's probably a charger a yeti Intel extreme challenge thermos
ah now we've gotten to the bulk of the
action here so there's an all-access pass to pax prime
which apparently includes airfare hotel and conference
not too shabby there's tom clancy's rainbow six siege
please tell me it's a pc copy
yes it is ha good i thought there might have been
possible Intel completely lost their mind sending knives and dangerous
lighters and console copies of video games to people also inside is a pair of
rocket cave or cob i think they call them headphones an Intel xtreme rig
challenge t-shirt they assumed large
they were wrong
and then finally in place of what would normally be the
products that they've just announced like the new core i7 6950x 10 core
extreme edition processor with turbo boost max technology 3.0 an unlocked
core multiplier an integrated quad channel ddr4 2400 memory controller
unlike how they normally include that product in the box i get this handsome
piece of paper which i plan to put on my wall in my office other than that i
think we've got some manuals here yes manuals and documentation and this
very nice backpack so that's pretty much the gist of it
guys follow along with the Intel xtreme rig
challenge using the hashtags on twitter that i mentioned before and you can find
links to the full details in the video description
