WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.520 Thank you to Corsair for bringing us to Computex 2016 this year. Check out their 00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.400 lap dog. It allows you to game on the couch with a keyboard and mouse. It's 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:13.679 pretty cool. Description down below. Also, thank you to MSI. They have a cool 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.240 AUS desktop here and their GTX 1080. So, 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:19.439 this is the Dark Base Pro 900. And instead of starting with the outside and 00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:25.199 slowly going in like I normally do with a case, I'm going to go right to the juicy stuff. This is the removable 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.439 motherboard tray. Uh, as you can see, it's in my hand instead of like in the 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.360 case. That's natural. that's supposed to happen. It has stuff like rubber bumps 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.800 on the back so you can actually put it down on a table and it can rest nicely 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.440 without scratching anything. So, you can build your computer almost entirely 00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.760 outside of the case and then slot this guy in and go from there. We recommend 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.719 in all of our build guides to build outside of the case first. This allows 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:52.320 you to do that but not waste all of your 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.160 work. The two other adjustment points for the motherboard tray are vertical 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.840 adjustment and inversion. So vertical adjustment makes it so you can either 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:03.039 bring it down to be more compatible with thicker radiators or bring it up so you 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.880 can get above the power supply and show off your entire motherboard. Inversion 00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:10.000 makes it so you can flip it over, put it on the other side of your case, have 00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:14.320 your graphics cards pointing up, all that kind of fun stuff, and move the 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.240 windowed side panel to the other side to have your have your case in like a 00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.240 switch configuration. It has a ton of cable management loops for Velcro straps 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:27.439 or zap straps or whatever else and a fan controller. It has three PWM and three 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:32.240 nonPWM plugs, although this is the nonpro version. The Pro version has four 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:35.520 of each. I'll get more into the differences of those later on. Also, on 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.520 the back of the motherboard tray is a single SSD slot if you only want to have 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.320 one SSD. You can kind of tuck it back there. It's all nice, clean, and tidy. 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:47.920 And a massive CPU cooler cutout so you can easily install whatever you have. 00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:53.119 Speaking of CPU cooler, if you want to go with water cooling, you can naturally 00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:54.560 fit a 360 or 420 mm rad in the top. And 00:01:53.119 --> 00:02:00.240 if you want to go for the front, if you remove the 5 and a/4 inch bay, you can 00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:02.000 fit also a 360 or 420 mm rad. Or if you 00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:07.840 leave it in there, I believe you can fit a 240 or 280. All of the fan intakes are 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.560 filtered with removable filters, which is great. And when you get the case, it 00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:16.160 comes with three Silent Wings, three 140 mm fans. Another cool thing about the 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.760 cooling is that the air doesn't actually come in from the bottom of the case. It 00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:23.440 comes in from the side of the bottom of the case. You don't have to worry as 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.640 much about the computer being on carpet or something like that where you might 00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:30.720 pick up different debris, which is never fun. Next up in the modular fun, we have 00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:35.040 the hard drive trays. So, the computers pro and nonpro come with seven of these 00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:39.760 different immodular hard drive units. So, you can fit seven hard drives or 14 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.879 SSDs as one can be mounted in the top and one can be mounted in the bottom. 00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:46.000 You can also buy two additional if you want to remove that 5 and a/4 in bay 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:51.040 that's up there, which I expect you probably will anyways, although I don't know if you need that many drives. That 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.760 means theoretically you could have 19 total SSDs in proper mounting positions, 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.640 but we all also know that you could just dangle them around and that would be 00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:02.080 fine, too. The inside of the case is lined with sound dampening material. And 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.400 the nonpro version, which would have a solid panel on the left hand side 00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:09.280 instead of a window naturally, unless you inverted the motherboard tray, 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.640 whatever, don't worry about it. Would also have sound dampening in there. although the Pro version wouldn't 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:18.560 because again naturally it's a window. Moving to the outside on the top you 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.680 have your IO which is two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, a mic and headphone jack 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.920 separately, power and reset buttons, hard drive LED, PWM controller switch, 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:31.680 so you can have it go through the motherboard or through the PWM 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:35.120 controller that B Quiet supplies. And then last but not least is an RGB 00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:38.959 switch. So with the Pro version, not with the non-pro version, it comes with 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.920 a bunch of LED strips. And I'm sure if you got the non-pro version, you could 00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:45.920 add your own as well. On the Pro version, not on the non-pro version, at 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:48.560 the very top of the case, there is a key charger to charge your phone, just in 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:52.239 case you don't want to plug it in through USB or whatever. So, the 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.519 differences between the Pro and the nonpro is that the Pro has a window, has 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:02.239 lights, and has a key charger on the top. The nonpro has no window, no 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.360 lights, no key charger. That's the only differences. Let me know what you guys 00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:09.519 think of the Dark Base Pro 900 in the comments down below or on Twitter or 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.400 wherever else. We're we're pretty easy to contact. Thank you to Corsair for 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.959 sending us here this year. If you want to game on the couch with a keyboard and mouse, check out the Lap Dog. That's 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.440 pretty cool. Also, thanks to MSI. They'll be showing off their AUS X 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.280 desktop and their MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X8G graphics card at the show. We'll be 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:31.360 checking them out later on, so stay tuned for that and stay subscribed to Line of Tech Tips for all of our 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.360 Computex 2016 content.
