so this is it it's finally done guys
0:03
this is what we envisioned so this is the completed Vesta R1 this particular
0:09
system will get serial number one when
0:13
somebody purchases it once these systems are released and so I'm just going to
0:17
take you guys on a total tour if you've watched all of the videos on the
0:21
creation of the Vesta R1 then you already know most of the steps that we
0:25
went through here but I'm just going to walk you guys through it one more time
0:29
just for good measure so this is the Corsair obsidian 650d case we have our
0:35
LG Blu-ray Rider here in the front Okay
0:38
so the front of the case we've left all of the parts that use the nice metallic
0:43
brushed finish and then we've actually painted all of the parts that do not use
0:47
a brush finish so this front fan Grill is painted red and it actually has a
0:52
it's a completely cleanable fan Grill okay so then you've got access to your
0:56
front fan so I'm going to go ahead and put that back on for now all right and
1:00
then let's go around to the side so we've gone with a striking radon red for
1:06
this system because of the video card
1:10
that it is being released alongside so I'm going to go ahead and take this off
1:15
so you can see the automotive paint finish is very very shiny and I'm just
1:18
going to go ahead and do the obligatory finger shot thing here so that you can
1:23
guys can see just how reflective that
1:26
red is okay so I want to show you the
1:29
overall specs so this video card right here this is why we released the system
1:34
there aren't a whole lot of these cards out there right now they're very limited
1:37
Supply so we are only building five of
1:40
these systems with it but is this is the 6990 so you can see here there's two
1:44
back plates so that means we've got two gpus on this graphics card those are two
1:49
68 70s or 6970 rather by the time we
1:54
ship the system because all of these Vesta R1 systems all five of them are
1:58
going to be pre-overclocked CPU is going to be at 4.4 GHz and we are
2:03
going to be flipping the BIOS switch and validating each of the 6990 at the full
2:08
880 mahz clock speed so you'll get the
2:12
maximum performance so we've also got a Gigabyte p67a ud7 that is a B3 board so
2:18
it is a corrected p67 board without the chipset bug and we have 8 gigs of
2:23
Corsair Dominator GT memory which looks
2:26
absolutely fantastic if I do say so myself inside the completed system we're
2:32
using a Corsair h70 liquid cooler and it
2:35
is it has custom NCI black and red
2:39
Edition y Lon fans and we've also gone with those same fans in the roof of the
2:43
case replacing the stock fan now let me just see if there's anything I've missed
2:47
here ah the power supply so sparing no expense obviously on a system like this
2:52
we've got an ax850 wat that is an 80
2:56
plus gold power supply powering the whole thing so this thing is isn't even
3:00
going to break a sweat powering a system like this and finally for the boot Drive
3:06
oh you know what I actually can't pull it out cuz it's plugged in but we have a
3:10
Corsair performance 3 that is a SATA 3 6
3:14
gbit per second Drive in there and then for storage we're using a Western
3:18
Digital 2 tbte black hard drive so one
3:21
thing I am going to do for you guys before we wrap up here and I'm sorry
3:26
that this isn't going to be a little bit more smooth but I had forgotten to do
3:31
this before I started the video there we go I'm going to plug it
3:35
in and I'm going to turn it on because we do have some red LED lighting inside
3:40
the case I just want to show you this other side as well so I want you to just
3:43
kind of get the angle from this side of the case and sort of can you do like top
3:47
down a little bit like here right like
3:50
that yeah there we go so you guys can see what the overall finished case looks
3:54
like and so uh so yeah that's the other side panel and then finally
4:00
I'm going to put it back together this has been a labor of love by crazy
4:05
Russian and myself to bring these
4:08
systems to Market I'll be the first to tell you guys they're not 100% perfect
4:14
but they are handcrafted so there's little imperfections in the paint
4:18
honestly the masking the building was done by the two of us completely and I
4:23
think for the price which I haven't really talked about much up till now of
4:28
$299.99 it's more more than reasonable it's uh it's actually a crazy good value
4:33
considering the kind of Hardware you're looking at and uh the the custom nature
4:38
of this particular little project so I'm going to turn off all the lights in the
4:41
room just so that you can uh actually
4:44
crazy Russian can you go turn off the the overall the like the the ceiling
4:48
light in this room so you can see what it looks like when the internal light
4:52
yeah there we go okay how's that look in the camera here let me grab the camera
4:56
from you and I'm just going to uh sort of get some closeup sh of the parts that
5:00
I think are important so here's what the top grill looks like you can see you got
5:05
a good glow there because the lights actually over on the other side under
5:09
the case itself here so it lights up these fans really nice okay at the
5:12
bottom you can see the power supply gets a fair bit of light and then also the
5:16
top of the uh the top of the motherboard gets a fair amount of light from that
5:21
top and uh you can't really tell in the camera it's not as good as seeing it in
5:25
person but it's more of a blood red glow and I can see it looks more orange in
5:29
the C camera and you also get a fair amount of glow off of the side of the
5:33
video card here too so it looks just very very very cool on your desk in the
5:39
dark so thank you for checking out this special edition episode of lonus tech
