huge shout out to freshbooks for sponsoring this video at CES 2017
0:04
freshbooks is the number one cloud-based accounting solution for small businesses
0:10
now if there is one company that's not
0:13
afraid to make a product that there could possibly be a dozen people in the
0:19
world who would be willing to buy it it is stiger Dynamics they build their
0:24
company this is the elite this was their first product they built their company
0:29
on the idea that they could take something that no one else was even
0:33
bothering to try and do and do it way better than anyone else was doing so the
0:38
leite was the ultimate silent high
0:42
performance Media Center gaming PC and
0:45
then some ways they were very much ahead
0:48
of their time since then since I first saw them like four years ago they've
0:54
launched the maven which is a smaller less windowed less front displayed
0:58
version and they've launched the aura
1:01
the Slimmer non SLI compatible but in my
1:05
mind very sensible one and they've all
1:08
recently been updated to not only work with the nerdy Tech couchmaster which
1:13
they carry here in North America but also with VR thanks to front HDMI input
1:19
that's handled with a pass through from the video card at the back but of course
1:24
that's not what I was holding in the thumbnail what I'm holding is one of the
1:29
most out their systems that I have yet seen now is it based on an iar USA
1:35
chassis we've actually worked with those guys before on some of the stuff in our
1:38
server room the answer is yes but they
1:42
have customized the front bezel so it's got a beautiful brushed aluminum finish
1:46
they've got a slot load optical drive and five toolless hot swappable 3 and
1:52
1/2 in drive bay on the front of what would be for me the first rack mountable
2:00
Media Center gaming PC that I have ever
2:03
encountered now because these guys are a boutique Builder you'll be able to
2:07
configure the system with anything from onboard graphics and a low-end processor
2:13
all the way up to a core i7 10 Core Extreme Edition with GTX 1080s and SLI
2:19
at least that's as high up as they validated for the box now do you get the
2:23
same Immaculate build quality that you do with their machines that are designed
2:27
to sit at the front of the living room as the centerpiece of your home theater
2:31
system no you don't but this type of a
2:35
system is designed to meet a very very
2:38
specific need the Enthusiast home
2:43
theater SL gamer person that has so much
2:47
extra income that at the back of their dedicated home theater room they have a
2:52
rack mount set up with all their AV gear and now potentially a high-end gaming
2:58
machine so so there you have it guys you saw it here first rackmount gaming
3:03
machine actually you saw it here first a year ago when I built mine but whatever
3:07
they've caught up now the industry has has caught up to me stiger Dynamics with
3:12
the infinitum rack mount gaming machine so
