thank you Squarespace for allowing Linus Media Group to be here at CES 2016
0:04
covering the show so let's kick this video in the Silverstone Suite off with
0:08
a little thing that I call five products that nobody asked
0:13
Silverstone to make and I'm going to open things up with this my friends
0:19
right here this is the DIY wireless card
0:23
kit were you thinking to yourself gee I need a wireless card for my desktop that
0:27
plugs into a PCI Express 1X slot with a couple of antennas on the back but I'd
0:32
really rather buy a a laptop card and
0:36
put that on a desktop thing and then put that in my computer silverston got you
0:40
covered next up if you were thinking yourself gee I really wish I had a PCI
0:44
Express card I could put in my computer that would tie into my power and reset
0:49
switches and then a little fob that I could keep on my keychain to hard reset
0:53
my computer from anywhere within a 20 M radius silverstone's got you covered on
0:58
that too and then if you're thinking to yourself GE what about this what if I
1:02
had a computer fan that could spin in both
1:08
directions depending on my mood or the
1:11
chi of the room or the orbital pattern of Jupiter
1:16
Silverstone has got you covered on that too but then what if you were thinking
1:21
to yourself gee my sfx tiny form factor
1:24
computer well that 600 W power supply wasn't enough now they have a 650 watt
1:29
now with 92 mm fan also fully modular
1:32
and then they've got this thing which can jump start your car a couple of times and it's a Qualcomm Quick Charge
1:37
2.0 battery charger thing as well okay I
1:41
snuck that one in cuz I do have one more making it a total of six but it's worth
1:45
the extra one because this my friends the mammoth series military grade
1:50
ip65 waterproof hard drive enclosure that takes your 2 and 1/2 in drive and
1:55
makes it literally the size of a 3 and 1/2 in hard drive but also happens to be
1:59
shockproof and water proof this could have you
2:02
covered but what about that product I promised to show you guys that someone
2:06
did ask Silverstone to make that's here
2:10
too this my friends is something I am
2:13
personally extremely excited to see this is pretty
2:19
much the final version of what are you guys even calling it The
2:24
eb02 thank you it's a good name the
2:27
eb02 the wallmounted headphone stand
2:31
that was designed as part of a lonus tech tips Community project where we had
2:37
hundreds of 3D modeled designs that were
2:40
then 3D printed by my minifactory decom
2:44
and submitted to me for judging then to Silverstone to figure out how to
2:47
manufacture it and it is actually real
2:50
it's actually here it is a two-piece
2:54
design with a one that goes on your wall That's screwed in with three screws and
2:58
then another one that slides in with with the most satisfying look listen to
3:02
it and listen to it come
3:06
out it's absolutely gorgeous it feels
3:09
beautiful and it's coming soon hopefully
3:12
somewhere in the sort of like 60 to $70
3:16
price range MSRP it's going to be available in at least two colors but
3:21
they've got that exclusive gold color that was originally only going to go to
3:25
the winning design but there's been some complications with how the the judging
3:29
was done we picked one thing it turned out it was very very difficult to manufacture we ended up going with this
3:33
so every one of the finalists is now going to be receiving a gold
3:39
color of the finished product so this
3:43
this is freaking awesome guys this is basically the solution to getting your
3:48
headphones off your desk and mounted on your wall if you want a really clean
3:52
looking workspace or play space or whatever else your space may be speaking
3:58
of space Square actually we're not ready for that just yet I have one more thing
4:01
no one asked Silverstone to make braided aluminum capped USB cables this one has
4:08
a reversible a connector and a lightning on the other end kind of cool this one
4:13
this one's really cool this one has reversible a on one end reversible micro
4:18
b on the other end so you can for your Android phone plug in any orientation
4:21
you want and then this one this is like
4:25
really cool I like this one this one Falls more into the who asked for this
4:29
sort of Cate atory where we've got a reversible micro b on the one end cool
4:34
then we've got an A on the other end
4:37
that can be converted to a non-reversible micro b and they're like
4:42
well what about like on the go or like charging one phone off of another one
4:45
I'm like okay okay okay okay if you build it they will come I guess speaking
