00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.520
So, for those of you who are pretty uh adept at guessing things, you might have

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:12.719
guessed when we did the Vesta R1 limited edition system that perhaps we would do

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:17.520
a Vesta G1 limited edition system. I am pleased to announce that the Vesta R1

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:21.359
was a complete success. We sold out all five systems in a matter of hours. So,

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:25.279
we are actually going to be doing a larger run of the Vesta G1. At this

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:34.160
point, it looks like we're probably going to do somewhere between 20 to 30 systems and they are going to be, wait

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.079
for it, painted green, right? Right.

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:39.760
Because it's NVIDIA. Yes. Okay. So, we have our prototype system in the paint

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.640
shop right now, but I wanted to show you what Crazy Russian's been working on at

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:50.960
his crazy test bench. So, this is the Vesta G1 in its most being tested form.

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:57.280
So, I'm gonna walk you guys through the specs. We're actually going to do two different versions of the system. One of

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.800
them is going to have a Core i7 970 6

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.760
core processor with 12 gigs 12 gigs of

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:09.760
RAM. It's going to have a single GTX 590 and it will have an AX 850 power supply.

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.200
Now, the upgraded version is going to have a Core i790X

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:20.720
extreme edition processor, 24 gigs of RAM, and dual GTX 590s for which it will

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.400
need an AX 1200 W power supply in order to run adequately. So, we're going to be

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.799
building for our demo system the more basic model because that's what most

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.280
people will likely be buying. And I just want to walk you guys through what else

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:38.400
is going to be in here. So, come in and get some shots of the test bench because this looks awesome. This is the GTX 590.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.799
We've got the G1 Killer Sniper motherboard from Gigabyte, which is

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.799
going to match perfectly with our with our GeForce themed color scheme. We are

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:52.960
not going to be using a stock cooler. We are actually going to be using the Corsair H70 again. And for our boot

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.759
drive, we won't be using Crazy Russian's fail ancient hard drive. We will be

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:03.360
using a Corsair Performance 3 series SATA 31 128 GB SSD.

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.119
Uh we will I think I already mentioned we were going to use the AX850 in the

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:12.560
base model and we're going to have a Blu-ray uh writer. Actually, most of the

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:17.120
specs are fairly similar to the R1. The big difference is going to be the GTX

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.520
590 and the other big difference is going to be that we are using the X58

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:27.120
platform with triple channel memory and a six core processor instead of the

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:29.120
quadcore processor and P67 platform that

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:34.080
we used last time around. So, this is just it's more of a a variation rather

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:38.959
than being like uh better or worse because the G1 will be more suitable for

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:44.720
things like video encoding, uh video rendering, uh anything with uh with 3D,

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.959
okay, not necessarily games. Whereas the R1, because it only has four cores, is

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.959
not quite as fast for those things, but is also very very fast for gaming. These

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.640
are still gaming systems. And I think that's pretty much everything I have to

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.560
say about the G1. So you guys do stay tuned as we are going to be doing some

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.319
in progress updates on the Linus Tech Tips channel and I will show you guys as

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.319
soon as I get my hands on the case. It looks like it's probably going to be Monday morning I'll get a chance to look

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:13.200
at the case. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings,

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.519
reviews, NCX PC videos, and all kinds of

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:18.560
other great stuff. Thanks for watching. Crazy Russian gave me a hard time for

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:23.519
forgetting to mention that what's so awesome about the Sniper board is that

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:30.159
it has hardwarebased X5. That is a creative CA20 K2 chip and it also has a

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:32.560
hardwarebased E2100 Killer Nick card

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.239
built in with its own cache. So that is actually a pretty good value because you

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.040
don't have to buy a sound card. You have a headphone amped very very decent sound

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.120
card built right into the motherboard as well as a dedicated gaming nick.
