thank you to hyperx YouTube channel for sending us here this year check out youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx for some
0:05
cool gaming videos also thank you to linda.com and Phantom glass all right
0:09
guys so you've probably seen my review on Spotswood test benches uh hopefully
0:13
it's somewhere on the screen I'm not entirely sure before in the past also in
0:17
my personal build log update I had a Spotswood test bench there as well but I
0:21
did not expect to see them here at PX 2015 and I especially didn't expect to
0:25
see them with a Ikea cabinet so opening
0:29
the first drawer in the cabinet we see a small ITX born basically little oneu
0:34
blade although it's not really the same dimensions as a u but it's similar to a
0:37
one U blade he can fit 80 mm fans in here 3 and 1/2 in or 2 and 1/2 in drives
0:42
you've got two Vandal switches at the front which you can use for power and reset or whatever the heck you want and
0:47
that's about it you you you sift the power cables through the back of the
0:51
case and if that's not enough for you moving down opening the bigger drawer we
0:56
have a dual matx one so you can have an matx board on each side of this one and
1:02
you've got 2 and 1/2 in or 3 and2 in drives again you've got much more spots
1:06
for much bigger fans so I believe in here he's fit three 120 mm fans but you
1:11
could change the configuration to your liking I know that fan way up in the
1:15
front may not be super effective so you could remove that maybe put drives up
1:19
there do whatever the heck you want extremely modular what is not pictured
1:23
here is another one so he has a a five
1:26
drawer version or 5u version or whatever the heck you want to call it at this
1:29
point uh which can fit an ATX motherboard so
1:32
if you want to fit an even larger system maybe you want a full-size power supply
1:36
as well you could go with that one but that being said if you go with say the
1:40
matx version and decide to not install two systems you'd be able to install
1:45
stuff like a larger power supply or a bigger graphics card which you might
1:49
need that larger power supply for so on and so forth so as with Spotswood
1:53
normally things are extremely modular and if you contact him he'll be able to
1:57
help you build something to your liking so these are kind of kind of in the
2:00
design of maybe a render Farm or a processing Farm or a compute server or
2:05
something like that but if you wanted to do something gaming like he'd probably
2:08
be able to do something up for you as well all right guys thank you to hyperx
2:12
