00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,920
Thank you to Dbrand for making CES 2017 possible for us this year. Check them

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:11,519
out in the link down below. This is the Aventum 3. It is beautiful. It is huge.

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:16,160
Is incredibly powerful. And I'm not talking about it today. Today I'm going

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,160
to be talking about Project Medina. This is a prototype case, so it's it's not

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,920
completely ready. There's some things that will be changing. I've tried to

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,599
throw in my two cents for what they can do, and there's a couple things that

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:35,040
they already had on the block. In its current configuration, it has an ASUS

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:38,320
Z270 Stris board, an i7700 K, two GTX

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,719
1080s, 32 gigs of Corsair Dominator RAM,

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:45,680
some Thermaltch Ring fans, and a whole bunch of EK water cooling. But if you

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,399
don't go for like fully to the tilt builds, you can get this one down to

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,320
about 1500 or even maybe below with this same chassis. In terms of cooling all

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,000
that awesome gear, you can configure it to have up to a 3x120 or 3x140 in the

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:05,040
top. And in the front, you can get a 2x120 or 2x140. This current

15
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:09,600
configuration is using both. As you can see, there's already a ton of lighting

16
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:12,640
and RGB zones and all that awesomeness. But they're going to have a new lighting

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,400
controller on the way, which will add more zones, including like the digital

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,880
storm logo just on the inside of the case and I'm hoping the SSD bay in the

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,479
back and maybe even some more. We'll just have to wait and see. Speaking of

20
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:27,439
that SSD area on the right side of the case, it's an interesting idea when

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,320
compared to some people that are revealing the whole right side of the case, but then you've got some messy

22
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:37,600
cables and stuff. This just puts your beautiful SSDs on display for the world

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:41,360
to see. In terms of IO, on the top you have wonderful power and reset switches.

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,600
I don't know if these are Vandal switches specifically, but they feel

25
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,840
great. On the other side, you have a full-size SD card reader and a micro SD

26
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:55,520
card reader, which I'm sure the editors here would enjoy. Headphone and

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:02:00,079
microphone jacks, two USB 3.1 Gen1 TypeA

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,880
ports, one USB 3.1 Gen 2 TypeC ports,

29
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,799
those names get fairly long, and an HDMI 2.0 port if you want to plug VR headsets

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,720
up into the top instead of on the back of your case. If you are interested in

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,720
configuring your own version of Project Medina, check out Digital Storm's

32
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:19,440
website in fall of this year. Thank you to our Dank sponsor Dbrand for bringing

33
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:23,599
us to CES 2017 this year. They have a ton of different options for skins for

34
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,680
your devices, like my Pixel right now that has their marble skin on it. Also,

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,959
all of our laptops that we got for Christmas, all the Razer Blades, all

36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,080
have different configurations of skins on there. If you want to make it your

37
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:40,959
own, similar to how you might configure one of these computers, you can go to DBR's website and configure your own

38
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,959
skin layout for your own device.
