so it's time for today's teaser video about the Vesta G1 so I showed you guys
0:05
the test platform before you can see that it's uh back there still so there's
0:10
more validation to be done before we can release a system like this to the public
0:15
but we have our first case our our
0:19
prototype case back from the painter now so I want to show you guys we obviously
0:24
haven't put it back together properly yet um because you can see there's no
0:28
latches here there's no window um you know the stock fans aren't back in it
0:33
yet but I just wanted to show you guys the green that we've come out with here
0:38
so this is a base coat and a clear coat
0:41
and then the clear coat is Polished in order to give us a a very very nice
0:47
smooth green finish to the case um we've
0:50
gone with the same color scheme as last
0:53
time around and since this is a actually here I'm just going to take this off
0:56
since this is a a making of Style video I just want to show you guys we did try
1:01
it the other way around so we did take your suggestions and
1:06
um tried the look of it with the black bays and the black mesh and uh and the
1:13
green um the green front panel and the
1:17
reality of it is first of all this doesn't come off so it's a bit of a
1:21
masking nightmare to get a really clean line around it um the reason for that is
1:26
that this plastic piece is actually screwed
1:30
glued and clipped to the front metal
1:33
bezel of the case so it's very very difficult to remove especially with the
1:37
glue in there it was pretty much impossible so we can't remove this piece
1:41
which makes masking a nightmare plus the fact that it is kind of oddly shaped
1:45
shaped makes it difficult to get good coverage on it and then we went and put
1:49
it on and we were like oh that's a lot of green actually so um we decided to go
1:53
with the same kind of color scheme as we did with the Vesta R11 where we're going
1:56
to have the green Grill at the front but other wise black on the front green on
2:01
the top and then I'm just going to take you guys around to the other side
2:06
panel also uh bright green on the other
2:10
side panel so I'm going to tip this up so you guys can see the color a little better so it's reflected off the white
2:14
ceiling rather than the system next to it but it looks just gorgeous so I think
2:20
uh whoever ends up with a Vesta G1 which uh we're looking at right now a
2:24
production run of only 20 systems is going to be very very pleased with it so
2:31
