Thank you to Dbrand for making CES 2017 possible for us this year. Check them

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.

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:16.160
Is incredibly powerful. And I'm not talking about it today. Today I'm going

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

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:23.920
completely ready. There's some things that will be changing. I've tried to

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

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:35.040
they already had on the block. In its current configuration, it has an ASUS

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:38.320
Z270 Stris board, an i7700 K, two GTX

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:40.719
1080s, 32 gigs of Corsair Dominator RAM,

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:45.680
some Thermaltch Ring fans, and a whole bunch of EK water cooling. But if you

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

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:54.320
about 1500 or even maybe below with this same chassis. In terms of cooling all

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

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:05.040
top. And in the front, you can get a 2x120 or 2x140. This current

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:09.600
configuration is using both. As you can see, there's already a ton of lighting

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:12.640
and RGB zones and all that awesomeness. But they're going to have a new lighting

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.400
controller on the way, which will add more zones, including like the digital

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

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.479
back and maybe even some more. We'll just have to wait and see. Speaking of

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:27.439
that SSD area on the right side of the case, it's an interesting idea when

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

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:37.600
cables and stuff. This just puts your beautiful SSDs on display for the world

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:41.360
to see. In terms of IO, on the top you have wonderful power and reset switches.

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:45.600
I don't know if these are Vandal switches specifically, but they feel

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

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:55.520
card reader, which I'm sure the editors here would enjoy. Headphone and

00:01:51.600 --> 00:02:00.079
microphone jacks, two USB 3.1 Gen1 TypeA

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:02.880
ports, one USB 3.1 Gen 2 TypeC ports,

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

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

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.720
configuring your own version of Project Medina, check out Digital Storm's

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:19.440
website in fall of this year. Thank you to our Dank sponsor Dbrand for bringing

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:23.599
us to CES 2017 this year. They have a ton of different options for skins for

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.680
your devices, like my Pixel right now that has their marble skin on it. Also,

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.959
all of our laptops that we got for Christmas, all the Razer Blades, all

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:34.080
have different configurations of skins on there. If you want to make it your

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

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:40.959
skin layout for your own device.
