Thank you to AMD for sponsoring our CES 2017 content. Check out their new Ryzen
processor in the link in the description down below. Back at Computex 2016, InWin
held this epic competition between modders from all around the world to see
who could make the best mod on one of their platforms. Our friends at BS Mods
were there, Bob and Rod, and they had a really interesting submission. I made a
video about it. You guys voted, and they are one of the winners to have their mod
turned into an actual production purchasable case. When I walked up to
the booth at InWin, I seriously thought it was the modded version from before. I
was like, "Oh, cool. They brought the one that they made at Compyex to the show floor at CES." I was wrong. That is
the final product. That is a purchasable, expensive limited edition
product that looks absolutely legit.
Upon closer inspection, while staying true to the original build, they have
done some upgrades. The sword itself does look a little bit better. And on
the pommel, there's this really awesome power button that feels really nice. And
then along the side of the blade, there's your IO. So, they have two USB
3, two USB 2, and audio headers. All of
those scallops are on 3 mm thick aluminum panels, which is super legit.
And the shield on the right side of the case has an LED backlight behind it. The
giant rivets all throughout the case are all real. They actually sourced rivets
that big specifically for this build, which is not something Inwind normally
uses at all. for the cross on the front,
that mesh pattern that goes behind it. They had to find the original material
that they actually used for the first mod, and buy it in bulk, which was
actually a complicated process. But either way, it looks great and it
probably should considering it costs so much that if you actually care how much
it costs, you probably shouldn't buy it. I actually don't know right off the top
of my head. That wasn't really a variable that mattered. But to make sure
that you actually know that it is fully legit through and through, there's a
signed panel on the lefthand side from Bob and Rod themselves, which is
awesome. This build that you can see right now weighs 65 lb without the water
in it. So, it actually weighs a little bit more than that. And when they
display it, they take two people to pick it up. All of this was built on an
In-Win 509 frame. So, if you think you can do a mod that's cool as well, you
can pick that up. And if you're thinking of other things, maybe try to give them
a name. atbsmods on Twitter. They're trying to figure out a name for this.
One that I thought of was sword and board, which is kind of like the knight
thing, but it's not a board for the shield. It's a metal thing. So maybe you
can think of something more creative than I did. And speaking of creativity,
thanks again to AMD for sponsoring our CES 2017 content. Their Radeon Vega GPU
will introduce a new memory architecture that sports high bandwidth cache. You
