one two Intel's extreme rig challenge is a
0:04
competition where system Builders work to create the most extreme gaming rig
0:09
utilizing Intel's unlocked 7th generation core i7 processor and their
0:14
600 pssd Intel asked us to visit and check
0:18
out six of the final systems that you guys voted
0:24
for the fact that we're actually in the top seven uh is something very exciting
0:29
to me anyone who goes to PS see who I
0:32
power is show what we're capable of allows me to kind of explain what can we
0:37
do with our system right any extreme rig that is being built is is I wouldn't say
0:42
over the top but it's more than what we would usually build as a production
0:46
system so one of the things that makes IA power different compared to other
0:50
system integrators um is the fact that
0:53
we designed our cases from the ground up we want to add new things to when we're
0:58
building a system anybody can take a component and put it in a in a PC and
1:02
sell it the desire that I want for our
1:05
PCS when they leave this production facility is if it's something that I
1:10
would want myself right if if I see that PC getting boxed and being shipped and I
1:16
I look at it and I say man I I want that PC on my desk that's how I want every
1:21
single kid to feel when we're building a system and shipping it out I want to
1:25
make sure that everything when it was tested Everything went perfect and it
1:29
looks the way that every customer chose and wanted to be and I want to make sure
1:34
we we give that to our customers to their expectations we want to meet their
1:38
expectations about that I think a lot of us system Builders
1:43
all feel very similar like we all have a lot of the same thing you know passion
1:48
for beautiful computers you know that
1:51
that when you were young and wanting your first awesome computer putting in
1:56
your custom fans and LEDs and cathodes and UV everything
2:00
you know uh I I think what really drives
2:03
us is that you know zidax is a custom
2:08
Boutique with great prices and an
2:11
incredible warranty our lifetime warranty you know some people think it's
2:15
crazy but I mean we we do it so what is my desire for every PC that leaves our
2:21
facility I mean it's the wow factor it's
2:24
that incredible moment you get when you get the system you turn it on and your
2:29
joy and your happiness so one of the great things
2:33
about doing this competition is the ability to be creative we could do some
2:37
really awesome overthe top 10 $20,000 computer cut open the case we love RGB
2:43
LEDs in fact they almost get overused nowadays like everybody RGB this RGB
2:48
that I mean you can get toilet bowl rings that have rgbs on them so easy to
2:52
get really flashy cool looking things that we still made it really really
2:57
beautiful and really eye-catching but without you know going too far off the
3:01
deep end you
3:05
know you know at Cyber power PC our mission is to make gaming a part of
3:11
every life in every household and what we mean by that is we want it to become
3:15
a part of the culture and we're already seeing that and cyber power is doing
3:19
everything we can to make sure that that dream comes true so that when we deliver
3:24
a product that's stable and high
3:27
performance we know it's going to last you so that Shar experience of gaming
3:31
between the family between parents and kids can last for many
3:35
years what excites me about participating in the extreme R challenge
3:39
every year is that we get to build a great system and it's not a system that
3:43
we don't get to do often it's a system that we build regularly systems that
3:47
just amaze people and have the greatest hardware and uh build that you could
3:51
ever see which means it has a top-of-the-line hardware and is using a
3:55
case that's pretty limited and unique in Wind deframe 2.0 which is a really
4:00
limited run case and when we're building the extreme rig it allows us to explore
4:04
things we normally wouldn't do like in this case it was the first time we got
4:08
to try copper tubing and we really successful and then in fact from
4:12
learning from the extreme rig we were able to implement into our regular production so the extreme rig every year
4:17
gives us a chance to really explore something different you know something
4:20
beyond what we normally would do and sometimes we come up with something really
4:25
amazing the winner will be announced at PAX East and there's still time to get
4:29
out there and vote each vote enters you for a chance to win one of these systems
4:33
so go now
