thank you to dbrand for sponsoring our ces 2018 content check out their six
0:03
skins in the description down below we're here at main gear checking out
0:07
their f-131 gaming desktop as you can
0:10
see just on the inside through the tempered glass panel we have an matx
0:14
motherboard motherboards you can have up to four sticks of RAM which is cool they didn't go with the tiny itx board and
0:19
they did manage to mount two graphics cards in here it's a little hard to tell
0:23
but you can see just in the back they have another gtx 1080 ti also while the
0:28
camera is up here you'll notice that they have case lighting on the inside
0:31
all around and on the front for the logo
0:34
and that is all able to be controlled through either your motherboard with
0:37
something like ASUS aura or through the controller that comes in the box the
0:42
internals are constructed out of server grade steel and the outside is japanese
0:47
brushed aluminum but if you do want to spice it up a little bit they do have
0:51
multiple other finishes as well you can get their spectrum paint with chameleon
0:55
colors or their mark ii finish or many more as well
0:59
but to bring us back to the inside of the case you have a power supply shroud
1:02
which nicely hides your power supply and the cables that come with it and on top
1:07
of that you can mount up to three ssds a lot of those ssds look amazing you might
1:12
not have an awesome m.2 drive like they have here or you might just want more in
1:16
general so you can show those off but you won't be able to see that if
1:20
what you're covering it up with looks even way better and is called apex ics
1:25
that's the cooling system that we have here that is made custom for this case
1:29
you can have whatever coolant color in it you want we're showing red here but
1:33
they also have other colors here as well and it is cooled by a giant three by 140
1:38
millimeter radiator in the top up to i should say you can put whatever radiator
1:42
up in the top you want you can pair the apex ics with soft line
1:46
tubing or like they're displaying here on all of their systems and as i would
1:50
expect from maingear hardline tubing it has dual pumps in the back which is
1:54
great because you can run each one of them at a slightly lower rate than you normally would and it'll still operate
1:59
great and it's really really quiet i can't even hear it standing right here
2:02
which is awesome there's a flow rate meter like you can see right in the
2:05
front there's a pressure release valve for fast draining through a quick disconnect
2:10
port and a temp sensor to make sure that everything is going okay and an led
2:14
strip down the right hand side which will look especially good if you run a
2:18
complete uv setup and it's available now you can configure
2:22
your personal f-131 gaming chassis setup
2:26
with apex ics cooling at maingear's website today and speaking of today
2:31
sponsorspot you can go to dbrand.com ces 2018 and check out a whole bunch of
2:36
