thanks to Corsair and Synergy for sponsoring our coverage of computex 2017
0:04
you can check them both out at the link in the video description all right guys
0:08
so we're here in the Corsair Suite where they have I would love to say one of the
0:12
most over-the-top PC case Concepts that we've ever seen but that would be a
0:17
downright damn lie because this is the most over-the-top case concept we have
0:22
ever seen this is the concept slate and I'm standing close to the camera
0:26
intentionally why is it so quiet in here you guys can keep talking it's fine and
0:30
I'm standing so close to the camera right now so that I can hide a little
0:34
bit the utter scale of this freaking
0:38
monstrosity look at it this thing is
0:42
120 L of volume of pure Enthusiast grade
0:47
PC goodness to put that in perspective
0:51
compared to the Gigabyte bricks VR which holds a quad core core i7 processor and
0:56
a GTX 1060 this is I did the math ahead
1:00
of time but uh I apparently didn't write it down but it's a lot more times I
1:04
think it's like 48 48 times the internal
1:08
volume so what on Earth would you do with that kind of space well Corsair
1:13
clearly has some idea what you would do so the first thing you do is put in two
1:17
motherboards because du right so you can
1:21
put up to an eatx or SSI EB motherboard
1:25
in here up on the top and then get this it comes with PCI Express r
1:30
so you can either put all of your you know graphics cards and red rocket
1:34
accelerators in you know horizontally like some kind of stone age chump or you
1:39
can turn four of them horizontally so that you can see your SLI graphics cards
1:44
and all their water cooled Glory oh yeah Corsair apparently makes um custom water
1:48
cooling parts now so that's fascinating then you go ahead and you put another
1:53
motherboard in here so the ITX motherboard which still manages to have
1:57
two expansion slots that's how big the back of this cases goes right down here
2:02
at the bottom and they've even got a bunch of Hardline tubing in here showing
2:05
how you could potentially water cool both systems now in terms of radiator
2:11
support I'd love to say this is where it gets more ridiculous but everything
2:15
about this case is on a scale of ridiculous that you can't really measure it anymore so we've got slide out
2:20
radiator trays for the top and the front you can either put uh I think it's up to
2:26
a quadruple 120 or quadruple 14 on the
2:30
top am I getting that right and then you can put up to two quadruple 120s here in
2:37
the front it's got Reservoir mounting completely up the butt so you can put a
2:41
reservoir basically anywhere you want here or anywhere you want kind of at the
2:45
back in there so it can hold up to 34 fans if you were to install push pole
2:50
configurations on every radiator and to be clear that does not include the power
2:55
supply fans Z because of course you could need up to two power supplies so
2:59
there's an atx1 here under the miniitx motherboard Mount which you can take off
3:05
if you want to you know gaze upon your power supply and all of its glory and
3:08
then there's an sfx one that you can take out a reinforcing bracket and cram
3:13
in at the back speaking of the back that's where you put all your drives it
3:18
takes up to five 3 and 1 half inch drives because that's how unimportant
3:21
hard drives are these days you could have 120 liters of space and you still
3:25
don't want more than like I don't know five hard drives no big deal and then they've got room for I think it's up to
3:29
eight8 2 and 1/2 in ssds at the back and of course it's got all the latest
3:34
features as well so it's got full RGB
3:37
integration with Corsair's new what is it Commander Pro something along those
3:41
lines yeah I'm getting the nod as well as an RGB logo at the front two USB 3.1
3:46
type C's four USB 3.0 regular size connectors and curved tempered glass yes
3:52
my friends each of these side panels probably weighs about as much as I do
3:57
between the gigantic paint of glass and the aluminum kind of uh you know
4:03
whatever we'll call this piece so there
4:06
you have it does this make any sense I'm
4:09
not sure but what I do know is that when I made that comment Corsair helpfully
4:14
pointed out to me that while it may or may not with 120 lers of internal volume
4:20
they could cut me up put me in a blender and literally pour me into it but that's
4:24
probably a coincidence
4:33
and we're back okay so thanks for checking out this video here in the Corsair suite and a huge shout out to
4:38
our sponsors for computex this year Corsair actually who now that I think
4:43
about it this is sort of ironic um our our coverage is brought to you by the
4:47
Corsair 1 a PC that's uh sort of not
4:51
that much less powerful than this but is literally one10 the size you can check
4:56
it out at the link in the video description it's available with the GTX 1070 1080 or upcoming a 1080 TI and a
5:02
quad core core i7 and it's also brought to you by Synergy which works perfectly
5:06
with this as well because Synergy allows you to use a keyboard and mouse seamlessly between two computers like oh
5:11
I don't know say for example if you went crazy and bought a tower like this that
5:15
fits two computers inside it so check out the link below to save 25% off
5:20
Synergy don't miss any of our computex 2017 coverage by making sure you're
5:24
subscribed and I'll see you guys again at the next booth
