Building The Ultimate Xbox One X

2018-09-29
hey guys this is austin and welcome to the ultimate xbox one x now this has been a very highly requested video so much so in fact that we got an anonymous letter from hongkong and giving us some suggestions to include for the video so with some of those in mind let's get to building Nick Cage approves yeah so everyone's probably familiar with the wonderful look of the Xbox one x aka it's just a black box which is where this comes in this is going to be a scam which is going to make our Xbox 1x look a lot like an original Xbox which some say it looks like an Xbox one so in the picture they've got like the front of it like it's got like the Xbox logo and stuff but this is just a top skin clearly wouldn't happen if this was deep branch it's actually pretty much lined up I'm slightly off center so you put it side-by-side with the original Xbox it actually doesn't look so bad I mean no I wasn't a hundred percent precise but I think it's close enough that uh I'll buy that next up because we know just how useful cooling fans and extra attachments are for consoles we have Natalie and intelligent cooling fan but we also have a cooling dock with extra USB ports so we've got three small cooling fans it's going to plug in via a USB and to be fair it does give us a USB pass-through so I guess it just snaps on something like this I mean that she does kind of blend in whether this is going to make any difference at all I am incredibly doubtful of but luckily we have a whole other cooling dock to keep it even cooler for whatever it is that we're doing on the next box which is gonna make it overheat making it extra it's pretty easy so we just do that wait a minute so I see that there's a fan but where is it pulling air from there's no place for it to pull on the bottom on the front on the sides why are the three fans if they have no intake or exhaust what this does give us is three more USB ports up front one of the things we're going to have to keep in mind with this video though is that we have a lot of things they're going to be requiring USB so making sure that we have full USB 3.0 on as many force as possible is going to be a challenge because a mere one terabyte of storage space is not going to be anywhere near enough the next step is yet another add on hub thing this is going to give us not only the ability to plug in a full 3.5 inch hard drive we're also going to be getting even more USB ports oh joy that's pretty cool so it's actually got a Scorpio on the front which would make sense because this is a Scorpio version of the console that now has a skin covering all that up so people still know we're cool so the idea here if it's anything like some of the previous hubs we used is that we'll be able to now I plug in that three and a half inch drive this is going to give us three more USB 3.0 ports on the front now with a three and a half inch drive bay we can go completely crazy and plug basically any kind of desktop hard drive in here but as opposed to doing a standard hard drive instead we have a two terabyte Seagate Fire CUDA and this is going to be an sshd which means that in addition to having two terabytes of capacity in addition to having two terabytes of capacity there's also a little bit of flash storage on here which depending on the game might not actually make a huge difference to load time boo the very least it should be a little bit quicker than a standard hard drive one nice touch is that you have everything you need to do this as long as you have a 3.5 inch hard drive I do actually think this will work with a two and a half inch as well but you even have the screw driver you have everything you need to put on the sled and with that I think you can well just put it in here so this entire thing is going to operate using the front USB 3.0 port on the Xbox so as long as we're able to line that up we're going to cover up the power button but it has a little push button actually it's clear too so you can see when it's on and off it's gonna be a little tight I guess it will work though huh the only issue that I actually don't really like with this is that as opposed to having its own set of power cable which I will admit is a little bit annoying instead it's actually going to go on top of the current power cable considering how much power the Xbox one expose to just figure eight cable seems a little sketchy also our fan doesn't let this go in all the way so following apart very quickly but I it works right well three terabytes might be enough for a normal Xbox one X this my friends is the ultimate Xbox one X which is where this comes in this Seagate game drive with an additional eight terabytes of capacity unlike the rest of our accessories this is really straightforward so instead of attaching it directly to the Xbox it just needs a USB cable but it does give us an additional two USB 3.0 ports on the front of the Xbox to think I was worried about not having enough ports like five minutes ago so with just an external power break and a single USB cable we're now up to 11 terabytes of capacity which is where this comes in the Samsung t5 SSD this is actually something we use on a daily basis here at the office so all of our videos are edited off of these t5 s and one of the nice things is they come in really large capacities this one is going to be a full 2 terabytes of quick SSD storage all running off of a single USB cable almost said USBC cable but uh we got use USB eight for this one I mean do you need 13 terabytes on your Xbox one X probably not do you need to build the ultimate Xbox one X probably not are we done building the Xbox one X absolutely not as far as controllers go we have a couple of Xbox one design lab controllers these are really cool because you have a lot of customization options for how the controllers look and importantly there still is going to be the same size which is important because we have a dual charging station I mean it doesn't really look pretty with our design lab controllers but now we have two controllers down and two more to go if you really want the ultimate controller for the Xbox one X though you want the Duke so this is model almost identically after the original Xbox controller and while a little bit controversial some might say it's a well you'll see you'll see oh yeah that's what I'm talking about this is licensed by Microsoft even though it's made by hyper Ken Wow that looks almost identical to the original for context this is what a standard Xbox one control looks like and this is the Duke it's massive I think you're definitely going to be better at gaming on a standard Xbox controller but the coolest of this is just there's no way to get around it now unfortunately this is going to be a wired controller but thankfully it's going to be a really long cable and it is detachable with micro USB as if all these controller options weren't enough we also have the commander this is actually something I did a video on it's like two or three years ago but the idea here is that this is going to be an adapter that will turn a mouse and keyboard into what the Xbox thinks is a standard controller so inside this little box well it gets a little bit complicated but hopefully won't be that bad so around front we have a mouse keyboard and game pad I think you actually have to have all three plugged in because it pretends to be the gamepad but it's actually passing through the mouse and the keyboard signal and then around back we have another series of USB ports for PowerPC game as well as data which looks like a eighth inch check oh man this is this is a lot welcome my friends to the completed ultimate Xbox 1x and yes all of these cables and accessories are completely necessary so to start with we're going to be showing you what the commander will do we're going to be spoofing it with the actual Xbox one controllers you need to make sure this is still plugged in but with that your mouse your keyboard and everything attached via USB we should be able to play a game hey it works I mean it's really really slow maybe we should've turned out the mouse sensitivity a little dude this actually doesn't feel that different than playing on a PC I mean there might be a touch of latency if I try to move really quickly but it's not that now there's definitely an argument to be said this is going to give you an unfair advantage but I mean if you want to be more comfortable playing with your mouse and keyboard versus an Xbox controller and you don't mind dealing with some Finnick enos it is not the easiest thing to set up and you do need to kind of keep it tuned per game to make sure it has the correct profile but you can download those pretty easily now why do you have weapons okay well this is unfortunate this is very unfortunate way my way I'm sure you know nope wait I got that counts as a kill right I blew up on them I would count that as a kill Dave will be very proud the duke on the other hand well it's definitely a much larger controller personally I do think that these standard Xbox one controller is better but anybody's kind of relative right the Duke is a unique unique option it also doesn't feel that bad so some of the buttons are a little bit weirdly laid out compared to the newer controller especially stuff like the left and right bumpers which feel kind of tacked on but it works of course we're not here just to play fortnight we have 13 terabytes of hard drives to install a whole bunch of other games if we want to as well so right now if you go into the options we have the internal hard drive we also have another 7 point 2 terabytes from that 8 terabyte drive over there we have the 1.8 terabytes of our t5 and then we have our 2 terabyte fire CUDA which is in here they'll actually show up and once you give them a quick format I mean it kind of works unlike a lot of the building the ultimate series that we do this actually all works all the accessories are plugged in attached skins powered USB Dwight ever you want to call it it's all actually working now does it make sense no of course not am I going to put links to every single one of these accessories that we used in the description of course I am
