the completed Vesta G1 here it is this
0:05
is the Prototype this is what crazy Russian has been hard at work on and I
0:10
very proud to present it so as you can see it uses a very similar uh painting
0:15
color scheme to the Vesta R1 the big difference is that we are using a bright
0:20
green paint as opposed to a bright red paint so um just want to show you guys
0:26
the overall well why don't we do an overall rundown of the machine so we've
0:29
got our Corsair 650d case and I'd like the Crazy Russian who is operating the
0:33
camera for me today to just come around and have a look at it from this side you
0:38
can see the black accents look really really sharp against that uh that bright
0:43
green paint color that we've got on here you can see here are all your ports and
0:48
rather not your ports your hot swap SATA Bay here in the top of the case there we
0:53
are up in the front we've got our removable fan filter for our front 200
0:59
mm f is that a 200 or is a 160 I can't remember it's a 200 okay so that's for
1:05
that we've got our Blu-ray Rider here on the other side you can clearly see we've
1:08
got our two latches which once again along with the border around the window
1:12
just really pop out um also up here we've got green LED Cooler Master fans
1:18
throughout the machine other than the uh the large one in the front which doesn't
1:23
really make sense to try to replace I'm going to take the side panel off let you
1:26
guys have a look at that really really sharp
1:30
looking and then now we get into the
1:33
inside of the machine so let's start
1:37
with the CPU we've got our 9706 core
1:40
processor that is going to be Factory overclocked but we haven't determined
1:43
the clock speeds yet that is to be announced we've got 12 gigs of Corsair
1:48
Dominator memory running on our Gigabyte G1 sniper motherboard now the reason we
1:52
chose the sniper was that the Assassin is a non-standard form factor and
1:56
doesn't fit in this particular chassis because it needs a extra PCI slot and
2:01
then the gorilla doesn't have the hardware creative X5 sound or nearly as
2:07
beefy of an amplified built-in sound card so that was why we went this route
2:11
with the killer Nick as well as the hardware creative XI sound card um along
2:17
with all the other G1 features like lighting beefy power design and just
2:22
really cool look I mean when you look at this it basically looks like back up it
2:26
basically looks like there's a clip hanging out of your graphics card which is
2:30
sorry magazine magazine I've been corrected before so magazine my bad okay
2:36
moving right along speaking of the graphics card we've got our GTX 590 with
2:40
3 gigs of Graphics memory on it this lighting actually complements the
2:44
overall build really well just love it all of this is powered by a Corsair
2:48
ax850 W power supply and then we've also
2:51
got our Corsair h70 cooler with The Cooler Master fans I'm not a big fan of
2:56
the Corsair fans that come with it so we've gone ahead and replaced those for
3:00
looks as well as for better performance and better silence so down here we've
3:05
got our Corsair oh I can't pull it out because the wires are cable tied but
3:09
we've got a Corsair 128 gig SATA 3 SSD
3:13
as well as a Western Digital 2 TB black drive for storage so there's your OS
3:17
Drive there's your storage drive and that pretty much does it for specs now
3:22
we have a bit of a dramatic shot to show you guys because I would like you to see
3:27
the Vesta G1 by the way there's a there's a little hint here this is where
3:31
I have my 3D Vision surround uh projector set up so yes we will be
3:36
running the Vesta G1 on the 3D Vision surround projector setup and yes you can
3:42
come try it the details are not finalized yet we're going to post them
3:46
on Facebook but on April 15th we are planning to have a live event here at
3:50
the warehouse where you can come and I'm not sure how many people are going to
3:54
come so I don't know how long you'll be able to sit and play but you will be
3:57
able to sit and play on our triple projector setup with a Vesta G1 and we
4:02
may actually have a couple Vesta g1s there available for purchase as well we
4:06
might hold those ones just for that one day thing so go ahead and actually here
4:10
I'll I'll get the lights and you you go look at the system so they can see the
4:14
the dramatic lights out shot yeah yeah hopefully that looks good
4:20
I'll go turn off more lights hold on I'll be back I'll be
4:24
back okay I turned off more lights there we go how's that
4:30
so you can see there's a little bit of glow coming out the top the effect
4:34
inside is fantastic we've got our LED um
4:37
LED 12-in lighting guy down here we've got one up here we've got the LEDs on
4:42
the fans as well as the LEDs built into the G1 sniper motherboard and then
4:48
finally that Lit logo on the graphics card looks really really cool when you
4:54
have the system built up like this you can see a little bit of glow from the
4:57
top but it's not too pronounced so it shouldn't disturb you while you're
5:00
