LIVE BUILD inside the new Meshify C from Fractal Design!

2017-08-09
and hopefully everything is looking good and sounding okay on your end let me know if that's not the case and I'll scramble to fix things but hopefully we don't need to do that this time around welcome this is a live build that I will be doing today with the help of wifey sauce who's currently behind the camera she'll come in front of the camera soon enough after after she helps me man that for a bit but yeah we're basically celebrating the launch of the mesh fic which is a mid-tower case from fractal design it's brand-new just launched today you might have already seen some other youtubers go live with their their videos or their reviews but I'm going to be doing a live build so it should be kind of fun things will be things will be crazy and sporadic and impulsive I thank you all so much for joining everyone hello I see you all in chat yeah hello hello hi everyone okay so um price point on this guy is $89 it features a tempered glass side panel which is very much a first from fractal design they finally hopped on the tempered glass bandwagon this case is very similar to the defined see which is also very well highly critically acclaimed case so the internal layout is basically defined see but the outside is a bit different you can see the front here we've got full mesh instead of the the typical brushed plastic so it's all open ventilation at the front which is pretty nice and it sort of has like this tessellated design it's very subtle though you only really noticed it from an angle you don't really notice it too much wifey sauce maybe can punch in a little bit if you want to get a closer look at the chassis but yeah I really like the design it's kind of got this gloss border around the mesh area which you know gets finger prints on it and stuff but if you keep it clean it it does look pretty nice I really like this this sort of the fractal design badge on the bottom here I don't think fractals done a case with with this sort of badge before usually it's just kind of screen printed or printed on onto the case itself this kind of adds a touch of class that makes it look a bit more special than just an ordinary black box so looks looks pretty swanky you've also got front panel USB 3 on the top here two blacked out ports I definitely like how they're black and not blue kind of just makes it a bit more stealthy power button alright but power button feels pretty solid actually I like it I like that power button mic and headphone jacks and a reset button which is not too easy to press prevents accidental resetting but has a nice nice click to it as well then you've also got plenty of ventilation at the top here so no Majah vent covers or anything like that you do have a removable dust filter that is magnetic comes on really really easy comes on off really easy and some flexible mounting strips you get mounting points for either to 120 s or two 140 s we will be installing a 240 millimeter AIO in here today most likely at the top as far as the front I should mention that you do get mounting support for three 120 s or two 140 s and we'll take a closer look at that as well I believe the best way to get this dust filter out is oh wait well first off bottom dust filter which is really nice because it pulls out from the front which I very much prefer than the back or even the side and it's full length of the case so not only does it cover the power supply at the back but there's also a 120 millimeter fan mount at the front of the case at the very bottom on the floor of the chassis that this dust filter will leave it out for now and that the dust filter will also support and cover and stuff but the front panel pops off like so and from here now you are tethered I should mention that you are tethered the front panel is tethered by the i/o cables so you can see here that front panel is not really going to go very far which is kind of inconvenient but fortunately fractals designed the the dust filter in such a way that you can just pop it out it looks like it just comes out like so the the mesh part itself is filtered and you can just you know spray that off or whatever and have a clean looking case in the end so very nice design we're gonna go ahead and keep this guy back on here let's see there's a way to pop this back in whatever we'll do that afterwards it's totally fine totally fine all right so then there's let's take a look at the back side as well pretty standard rear i/o I mean you've got 120 millimeter fan at the back also one at the front these are both GP 12 fans they're black notice that this is pretty much a blacked out case unlike a lot of other fractals chasse EES which tend to have white accents including the white fan blades and expansion slots but we're getting a blacked-out vibe here which I definitely like 7 expansion slots 3 4 5 6 7 with a power supply mount so this is a removable bracket so you can actually install the power supply from the rear of the case that's simply because you actually get a full power supply basement or a shroud that covers the full length of the chassis which is super nice but I think I think on that note I'm kind of ready to start building I don't know about you guys you can see here first off that I've got a pile of components just waiting to be handled we definitely will be doing that I'm going to be going over the individual components as we use them instead of going over all of them right now but there's also a purpose to this built I don't know if I mentioned this yet publicly but I'm gonna be having a good buddy of mine Chris who helped me out with editing at CES and Computex this year he's gonna be interning for me in a pretty soon pretty soon so I'm he'll need an editing system it's gonna be a side editing system I'm still gonna do the bulk of the editing at least for now so he doesn't need anything super crazy but we're gonna build him a nice a nice editing workstation inside of the mesh if I see seems like a worthy case to fit all of this hardware so um with that said why don't we go ahead and just start building away let's see oh there goes the front panel see very very easy to remove as I mentioned so wifey sauce you can actually get in on here once you if the cameras all good on that end which it looks like it is you can you know come out from obscurity and say hi there we go front panels back in just pops in super easy actually and then we've got these four thumb screws on the cases side panel boom take it out guys take that ready boom top-down shots isn't that beautiful look at that eye I can youtubes I can do the youtubes alright so wifey sauce is gonna be moderating chat making sure that you guys are all in your best behaviors and she's also gonna be helping me doing some simple stuff with the build she'll be my my sous chef but in a PC building sense so we're gonna just take this tempered glass off it's a full it's a full piece of tempered glass which is really nice and it is tinted so uh you know the LEDs inside if you do put some in your system won't be blinding you that got some nice some nice black borders all around the edges so you don't see the the more rougher parts of of the chassis and there's also some foam it looks like on either side foams nice because it sort of reduces any vibration that that might occur from when the case is running or when the system is fully running there's also some foam inside of the case as well around the border another thing that sort of separates this from a lot of the other fractal defined series cases is that there's no sound dampening so bear that in mind might be a little bit more noticeable acoustically than than some of the other cases I'm sure it's still not gonna be too bad alright so I guess we should prep our motherboard first day are we keeping all these on the table right now we can we can take those down actually if you want to put those somewhere oh and because I'm super smart and thought ahead I've already taken out a lot of the components from their boxes to save a bit of time here on stream so I'm gonna try to figure out where this should go let's see right there oh it's good all right so um I guess this should cue you in on what kind of platform we're using for today which is at X 299 we're going with the core I said where's the processor oh no do we already lose the CPU yes that is one thing that I want to leave in the box is because they can be they can be fragile and stuff so we've got a core i7 78 20x processor this is an 8 core 16 thread part now I was gonna go thread Reaper for this build actually and totally pimp Chris out with with AMD's latest high-end desktop platform but I decided against it because the only x3 99 motherboard right now which is currently on a test bed behind YP is still in use for testing so but rest assured there will be a thread river build coming very soon so we're gonna go ahead and just snug this in I'm not really gonna like show you guys how to build a PC in the stream this is more just just to hang out and chill but there it is CPU installed also got some some mammaries but why don't we do the CPU cooler first s 24 Celsius Celsius s 24 also from the folks at fractal I did do a review on this cooler if you wanna check that out fans have already been mounted to the radiator courtesy of wifey sauce looks like you mounted them on very well properly even with the the cables facing the right right way that's cool we've got some that you want to do the thermal paste alright go with having the DAAD nothing dude do it do it just like I showed you make me proud make me proud right there show them how it's done look at that that is beautiful beautiful nice classic grain of rice method or pea method I like saying P me that because cuz I'm saying P because I'm super mature little boy and then we've got some screws you already have you're one step ahead of me yes I know I just see this is why I brought you along I'm a woman I'm a lot more organized than you that's that's pretty sexist wrong screws though oh I have once again regain my need but you know more about computer building than I do self yeah you've definitely learned you're a quick learner you've caught on to a lot of things very quickly so we're just gonna mount these guys in this is a pretty standard you know asa tech om CLC that do bright alright let's go ahead and you gotta turn down the brightness just the ISO just crank the ISO down maybe 108 actually it's on this this camera because I don't want you tripping on this thing there's actually a stepping ladder because YP sauce and I are really short we're little people how about that that looks better huh yeah yeah there's still a little boom give you guys a bit more of uh yeah that's that shot there it's a little stripy but it'll do it's nice let's strike peak let's try to kill I see you that much oh yeah that looks oh it's way better actually right people liking liking the change zeebad seabass somebody's even us what what noises do zebras make do they sound like horses do they may like horses do I've never heard of zebra tuck what does the zebra say question all right we're gonna go ahead and mount this sucker straight on hmm all right I'll do one too because we can do it at the same time that way there's that way there's even amounts of pressure on the CPU it's healthy this is a happy CPU very happy you are double fisting my wife everyone she double-fist CPUs in her sleep she's just gotten so good at the fish station process we can put these other pigs away spirit LGA 1151 do you think what's up that's enough that's what she said but yes I'm gonna I'm gonna say that's pretty good and then we can install our Rams our RAM cycles which I think are still in the box oh yeah hey don't be so handsy let me do it I like getting handsy that's one of the reasons you married me all right okay I'll take I'll take two all right do you want all fours to give me all four kidding me of course I went on for was this look like a kibbeh accumulate Knicks keep it like X building something be kidding me just be Stanley gets you do what we want on skylake X we get the whole mobo on skylake X all right going in uno mas all right and it seems that I have somehow managed to color-coordinate things that's had with the white accents on the motherboard and our white dims here with the tried NZ I should mention this is tried NZ from g.skill very recognizable modules that I'm sure you guys already knew and 3200 speed we've got a 32 gigabyte kit here so there 8 gig modules four of them that makes 32 and we can math that's that's been confirmed so now we can just uh we can actually mount this in the case let's get that Mischa fast see over here yeah mr. Fox watching already fractal Josh if you're watching this screw you and I'm just kidding I love you you are the best you are the bestest tall friend that I have even though you always look down on me literally I still love you I I admire I admire my tall giant friends so what we could do now is IO shield all right this is gonna go in yeah it's kind of nice and silvery is this uh this angle okay well they don't even say that IO shield going in out that's it's not the most excited sup a highlight of a PC build when the IO shield goes in OH gets me every time man there's there's nothing better than when that IO shield goes in alright and then uh looks like we've got we're gonna need some accessories which if I know my cases like I ought to accessories are usually in the power supply basement if there is one and sure enough we've got a box right here in the drive cage in the draft yeah open up damn screws honey open on Veterans groom so in case you guys are wondering while she's getting those screws out reason two cameras obviously both gh fours in case you're wondering the one it's right here and of course the one overhead the one that's facing us head-on is actually connected to an internal capture card of the Blackmagic intensity Pro which is what Paul and I have been using for awesome hardware for a very long time now so it's very reliable super high-end and then this gh4 is actually connected to an Elgato elgato capture HD external card which I just bought yesterday so this is the very first time I'm using it so far it seems to be working pretty well quality seems alright - so everything's looking good so far knock on all the wood we have to hopefully see this through to the end of the stream these look like motherboard screws these might be motherboard screws we definitely need standoff so standoffs are not pre-installed with the exception of the center one the little the little nipple the little nipple standoff little nipple that that helps you now the board just a bit easier and we're gonna go ahead and you can be the standoff holder very important job you do very important job we actually need the little adapter here to screw in doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo come on stand off get in there get in there standoff is not going in hold on these are all the right threads right let's try a different one come on McPherson wants to know how heavy this case is compared to the food of all exits um it's uh it's quite a bit lighter I would say simply because it's smaller like the materials used granted the evolved ATX has a lot of aluminum but it's much bigger than than the mesh if I see or the defined see even though it's very sturdy like the the side panels like the all the construction stuff is pretty much a full steel so it feels very very durable and there's not very much flex in this case at all but it's a little bit a little bit smaller than the evolved ATX good question good questions all around there are no stupid questions class remember that I always hated when my teachers would say that I always want to be like yes there are stupid questions especially when they make us stay late why thank you oh yeah yeah maybe you should start a youtube channel or something remember YouTube Chertoff I add subscribe to you like oh yeah I'd have to you're my wife I'd never hear the end of it you know I'd subscribe to you anyway I'm sure okay some weird weird fun facts behind the scenes stuff there's like window washers we're we're high up you see them no no I haven't yet but there there are window washers that are coming up right now we're on a pretty high floor like you would die he jumped out of the window on this floor so they are gonna be coming up this window pretty soon if we get a good shot of him I'll turn the camera around so you guys can wave wave hi at the window washers hopefully not distract him and make them fall why if you sauce will have a heart attack if she's scared of heights I'm scared for them what if maybe you should maybe you should call 911 and try to save them there there's the window washers here I mean I know they're just doing their job but I think they're gonna day oh I heard I heard banging on the window right I hope those can't those cables are I hope they're like steel because they look like they might just be like string or something I think I think those are shoelaces brave men brave men braver than I that's for sure let's see we've got a couple more here I believe this is our guy doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Oh Oh God does that mean if they're close after the look you're gonna go look after they look to see where they are all right you go look I have to double-check really quick to make sure that I am in fact installing this in the right standoffs don't freak out yet guys I know that there's a couple more standoffs I have to do and just line it up initially just to make sure okay we're good we are good can you see them no can't see them I know I think they're starting from the bottom and then working their way up okay and voila pretty much don't the standoffs and we can proceed to installing in the motherboard I always want to make sure that your stand officer firmly in place and mountain that mobo Oh looks like a cryo shield actually popped out a little bit yeah for the most part I mean LEDs I feel like when it comes to ones that are marketed towards PC enthusiasts and stuff have gotten a lot brighter than they used to be and you'll be able to see them it just depends on how how bright you like your LEDs really you might you might need to add an additional strip or something like that if you know if the tint is too dim for you that is an option but I don't know I don't think it's like super tinted or anything it should be good for most people let's do it yeah let's do it yeah fractal josh is we were in correspondence with freckles Josh at the moment and he is he is behind the scenes pulling strings for you guys he's got ideas he's a man full of full of good ideas usually I've been with him long enough to know that sometimes they're very bad ideas but I go along with them anyway because they're fun there is there's plenty of room it's actually designed for a is the top so you could do either a dual 120 or dual 140 so 240 or 280 millimeter radiators will fit at the top and you've also got room at the front of the case for a 360 that's a triple 120 or another 240 dual one I'm sorry two hundred and eighty millimeter a IO so plenty of radiator options you could definitely do some custom water cooling in here and and have plenty of radiator space for you know cooling your CPU and your GPU really put fit a full loop in here relatively easily for 89 bucks quite a quite a good value from what I can tell so far all right say cool if you want to choose winner all right cool all right so I've just gotten confirmation from Frank and Josh that this is now turning into a giveaway stream so he is agreed to give one of you lucky winners a new mesh if I see case like the one I'm building in right now so he said that we can it's pretty much up to us how we won choose how we want to choose the winner obviously it's gonna be I'm thinking someone in chat and this is gonna be a worldwide worldwide giveaway I'm calling it right now everyone is eligible unless you know prohibited by local law and stuff like that but let's see how about let's see what time is it right now although for according to that okay so maybe within the first or within the next few minutes here I'm gonna choose a winner hmm yeah let's get creative here all right you guys have to say something nice about wifey sauce in chat okay then you pick out one person who says like the most I don't know something that that that you like the most about what they've said or you can just or can be completely random it could just be like wifey sauce rules and that's the person you pick but but but to enter this giveaway that's going on right now all you have to do is write something about wifey sauce in child or I know what you know how you do awesome hard for every Tuesday yeah whoever tweets me the best I idea of how to I know that requires them to have a Twitter account another one has a Twitter account you will just put it in a check alright so just as long as wifey sauce is somewhere in your in your comment in chat then you are eligible to win a new mesh if I see from fractal design PI in cloud space bring off some hardware you know stuff like that whoever has the best idea no no wait no we're talking about two different things sorry I like my idea better I already already said the wifey sauce we'll just we'll just go with the nicest wifey sauce comment that will be picked by wifey sauce yeah cuz you're you're the one moderating chat so you have to alright question about the case okay is there any excess room for a small e ATX motherboard or is it only ATX um it looks like you could fit EI TX don't quote me on that but it looks like you've got at least maybe two additional centimeters of board width to fit in here granted though that will probably block a little bit of the rubber grommets going along the side so you want to be cautious of that but again I don't know exactly off the top of my head so maybe just double check it's one of those things where yeah it might be maybe doable but it would be pretty snug doable and advisable or two different things typically so CPU fan oh this is just a regular fan this is your regular old fan will actually put this backwards later that's why you just have to that's why you just to click that's right you just have to click is if you scroll up watch scroll then it'll stop I know so so just just pick one at random you guys are monsters absolutely mad pick one towards the end of the stream towards the end you can make a breeze right now well okay don't do it right now well how many people are watching right now Wow we have 4600 people good lord okay that's right that's cool well I've we've often I've put the pressure on you honey to pick a winner so at some point how about how about how this how about this hi father-in-law I love you how about this let's wait till we're about halfway through the build before you pick someone and you could if one of them catches your eye if you manage to actually read one of them completely then you can save it see it for later so what hey father-in-law Robby you are not allowed to donate that here those are not the rules my father-in-law is making all you guys look like a bunch of chumps he could have he could have bought he could've bought a mess if I see for that donation amount and then some oh my goodness this down for a sec all right go ahead and switch the camera angle honey f1 boom boom o f1 also opens up Google Chrome help I should have thought about that before I assign that hotkey no damn right they can't alright so the nice thing about the about this cooler I'll try to do this so that you guys can still see what I'm doing as I mentioned in my review is that there's actually a PWM fan hub or fan pass-through or controller I should say not a controller just a little piece on give us an advantage yeah but that's like a given you know that's that's that's that's all miss that is true you get to pick I've given you too much power too much powerful one for one woman to have good thing I married you and sealed the deal you'll be getting you'll be getting hit up with all kinds offers now come on you there we go flexible mounting strips are a thing of beauty right honey that's okay you don't need to I'm gonna put these in here for now we can tighten it up later you know we do have the oh I'm the best daughter in the universe yeah what a crappy poo you know we should do you know we should do you should install the power supply let's do that whores because I'll tell you I because the the a penny eps connector on the motherboard is currently being a little bit blocked by the the cooler which is why I only put 10 screws in there to hold it in place for now so we're gonna get this guy in there so we can wire up those parts of the motherboard that would otherwise be covered up and blocked so this guy will do it face down we'll do the power supply face down with the fan facing the floor of the case because there is a open ventilation and again we have that dust filter at the very bottom of the case power supply screws right here and people are still going crazy with the wipey sauce comments man that's crazy they have to say something about my favorite Ghibli character we can't no no we we can't we can't we can't change the rules yet because now because people have already entered technically rules are set in stone don't worry there will be other giveaways where you're doing great you've already got the whole chat reeling everyone's going crazy I like other bit like I like to sing all people's like different techniques on how to how to get spotted like using like 30 emojis or uh you know yeah all caps caps is a good one we have to thank you for all the donations at the end yeah of course we do always appreciate any derp nursing's what does Josh wants so this power supply should just go in like so beautiful there's plenty of room to spare there too and I've just been abandoned by my own wife during a live stream for another man I'm not salty at all okay cool so now we've got got some other stuff here here's our 8 pin which I can route through the top I love the all the grommets in this case they're very well thought out and there is one that's plenty big in the top left corner of the case if you're facing it this way which is perfect for routing things like any fan cables you might have or your 8 pin EPS so let me go ahead and undo the a i/o really quick what does he want actually everyone is gonna be very very happy oh you're I should send a big THANK YOU to fractal Josh what did he do this time he's giving away a second no he is not he said basically I have to think of something that everyone has to tweet me you have to send me a tweet okay and I will whatever I think that person okay so the first message if I see will go to anyone who just says your name in chat and then the second mesh if I see will go to anyone who has tweeted you something like this yes so it could be like my favorite Ghibli character or Oh how about how about you tweet me something about your favorite Ghibli movie so what is it but what if they're not into Ghibli what if they don't even know what that is I wouldn't even know what that is knowledge about anime well you could eat so then for those people who don't even know what that is you could even just be like Ghibli is my favoritest thing ever wow you guys had a rough man if it was me I just like close my eyes and spin in a circle ten times in point whyphy sauce has some criteria that you'll need to meet so how about this why don't why don't let's let's give chat a break you you you pick you pick someone in chat guys spam chat right now go crazy even crazier I want to see this go Lightspeed it's going fast already you were so close person that we all that we will not name you you're so close to winning but you forgot to write in wifey sauces name in your comment alright so fire it up which one is dog you know I must know so found one yo fun map map okie dokie now we can proceed - oh now my father's installing this okay let him know that he's on speaker though okay dad I just wanna let you know that you're on speaker live hi Rodney safe to hide everyone Rodney oh I like that we already we already said it the second way everyone's already tweeting me you're too late you're too late I'm trying Rodney I'm trying real hard right now yeah you're still alive just so you know everyone can hear you why thank you sir you sound fantastic my husband is my dad's favorite child and and and and my father-in-law is my biggest fan yeah hate to break a toe yes he's got a portrait of my face like in his bedroom tree we call them the Cal 2.0 is he watching right now okay Jaime hi little me we gotta get Kyle I'm gonna miss dreams one of these days - Kyle's in a weird sort of way yes sure you do use is true you you just say his name wrong my my tutor oh that's how my dad says so throw everyone that's how you say it but it sounds sounds accurate to me all right anyway you gotta go I gotta pick a winner yes no I did not I actually need am a teacher okay bye what okay I won't I'll keep it far from her static all right bye Ronnie so while she picks a winner go ahead and switch camera angles honey scene two so it's hard to for you guys to see right here I'll actually rotate the case so you can see better boom we're gonna be installing a an nvme SSD and to drive we're gonna take the chipset to cover or the m-dot to cover which is sort of blending in with the the heatsink on on the the chipset and we're gonna remove the thermal pad strip so that we can perhaps get some lower thermals on our drive and drive that we're gonna be using is the samsung 960 Pro and via me SSD which is a fantastic fantastic super fast like one of the fastest drives you can get right now in this warm fact here I do need a little a little stand off to install that are you gonna read every single one there's probably like 10,000 of them by now just your it doesn't even matter you're not gonna find like the perfect one just just do any old random one you're killing you're killing everyone right now just so you know pick go who's it gonna be I don't know you know I just can I'll do my job you do your now Wow attitude on this one all right right so we're installing the SSD here wife your sauce gets her crap together and we're gonna just place the cover right back on which goes like bloop this hey hey I should also mention that it is a 512 gigabyte model I'm not sure if I mentioned that but it's basically gonna be the editing drive or the scratch disk for for Chris it won't be the boot drive we have another SSD that will be used as a boot drive this is mainly just gonna be the drive that he he puts all the raw files on as he's editing them it's always nice to sort of spread across spread your workload when you're editing across multiple drives instead of having it all on one or two so you know probably gonna have Adobe Premiere Pro on the boot drive and then I'll have the scratch disk on the 960 Pro and then we're throwing into mechanical drive in this as well just for for mass storage and backup we can always add another drive to the mix if we want to raid later maybe do like a raid 0 raid 1 array just for redundancy but this should be good for now oh here's our first plastic peel of the day oh that's a little baby one well baby one but we'll do we'll save the tempered glass for the end we'll go out with a bang next up let's do the two drives a what I keep seeing a I think I think all those Canadians rubbing off on me damn Linus and Friends all right so we can close this up yeah yeah sure before storage let's do some cable management let's fire up some cables so I actually brought along some sleep extensions because power supply I believe has some ketchup and mustard on it which I forgot to mention is the integra and no yeah the integrity of 650 watt unit and we've got some extensions for it however so with these nice white sleeved extensions I believe these are from fantex don't quote me I've lost the retail packaging long ago but yeah they look really nice no heat shrink heat shrink is the worst wears so let's flip let's go ahead and put him in hey it's firm making any headway over there wifey yeah has a winner been selected go ahead and switch camera angles all right all right who do we got who is our first mesh if I see winner of today Oh hold on you are a tease madam the royalties what please when do you value my opinion what kind of parallel universe is this all right what is it it's not really about me for this I think this one is more about great right as much as flattered as I am with the other comment and if it was me choosing I'd probably pick that guy all right but so the winner the first mesh if I see KC fractal design is Daniel mark oh sorry rest in peace headphone users good lord so the the comment that he won with was a wifey sauce is a great beautiful person waterfall of comments the power is in your hands with a little emoji with the tongue sticking out congratulations work Daniel oh oh he well he says it twice yeah I thought he just like copy paste it twice or whatever Daniel mark congratulations I'm sure I'm sure there will be some wait maybe you can hit a practical Josh on Twitter at is it just at fractal Josh I think so I want to double check I'm pretty sure it is but hit him up let him know who you want who you is and yeah congratulations Josh fractal general there will be another measure if I see winner later on in the stream I should start reviewing those as well you should not make it about ghibli I already did it's not fair I'm getting a lot of tweets right now okay you you you do it loud a tweet there we go got that extension in there okay um now what are we doing here we've got some front panel connectors to deal with so let me just show you guys how the backend looks of the case camera angle please to do okay so here's sort of the back side of the define see I'm sorry of the mesh if I see I'm gonna zoom out a bit okay so um you can see here we've got plenty of space in the basement for for routing cables as well as this nice fat channel just to the left of them of the motherboard and you can see it also comes included with a couple velcro straps fractal velcro straps which are very handy and you've also got room for three SSDs here or three two and a half inch drives mechanical or SSDs on this removable sort of bracket it's got a single thumb screw and it just pops out I just love how to list that is and how there's only one screw for three drives it's really nice additionally you've got some tie-down points lovely lovely amount of tie down points actually and there's a three and a half inch drive bay or drive cage at the bottom underneath the power supply shroud as well you get two trays for those those mechanical drives and I believe this this cage can actually be moved back closer to the power supply if you want to open up a bit more room in the front for a three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator so that's that's actually really nice you could remove a page altogether if you want to yeah oh yeah how many people like have seen this Ghibli film but it is by thought it's actually my second favorite Ghibli movie ok I'm going to retweet it after we pick it but you ban fox handle is FX FX HD Legion X T 13 and he says favorite Ghibli moment would have to be the cleaning montage of the Latin Quarter and up on poppy Hill always gives me a giggle seriously one of the best besides reasons why I love Ghibli anime so much is because you can change the camera angle if you want oh that's true I love all the food scenes in Ghibli enemy by far the best did they do it the best well that was one of the comments that almost won the first measure if I see was just a bunch of food emojis there was nothing but like a thousand food emojis and that person would have won the first giveaway case but they did not actually mention wifey sauces name which was one of the requirements he's gonna listen to the instructions carefully guys read the manual all the time alright you can switch camera angles again because we all know how riveting SSD installation can be oh man I'm getting a stiffy just thinking about it alright get in there dunno alright and then once your SSD or SSDs are installed on the bracket there's two little latches on the right and that one thumb screw goes back in beautiful solid solido all right you know we could do is maybe add a couple a couple cables to the mix here from our power supply including see what are we gonna need here we're gonna need at least one SATA cable for our SSD and depending on how this reaches we're probably gonna need two because we also have a mechanical drive going into the cage and no no you're fine for now you're good you're good but their tables that I should have admittedly put in first that's okay go over the part again hold on one moment oh oh and woman so the parts list yes for all of our parts for the build but so far we've got a core i7 78 20x that's a styling X processor eight core 16 thread part since my dad called you on stream who says he has now eight followers hottest YouTube yeah how did they find him how the heck do you guys you guys are creepy like there's no like he didn't even like shout out his YouTube channel or anything he's still managed to find him dad is crazy you guys are a little scary aren't you cuz you're a wee bit scary you know in hindsight I should have connected these cables the power supply before inserting the whole unit but you know what I'm good we're totally good there's only one more that we need to get in there actually no well the PCIe one of the PC I use is already fixed to the unit so you really only needed those to save the cables and we're good so let's uh let's string this guy up first do our lovely SSD here and we've got SATA data to the rescue just go to the flat I like the flat flat on flats particularly for for these SSDs that are mounted in such a way boom and we can put this through I would imagine right about here just where we need that to go we'll worry about that on the other side later for now we can just sort of tuck tuck this away now because this is a stream and I don't want to take all of your guys's time I'm gonna just I'm gonna be efficient with my cable management let's put it that way I will be very efficient we can shove this guy in here for now so you need me to help you should I actually pretend like I'm interested in Bolinas this no your your your your lack of interest is quintessential wiper sauce anything else would be disingenuous alright just in genuine so um Nick right now we can also do our our hard drive one of our hard drives here wifey you know you can do is you can mount the hard drive make sure that it goes that away holes you know how to do it and then we've got some front panel connectors a more Canadians Canadians everywhere okay let's do yep those are the ones could you go switch camera angles for a moment just a moment okay it's just so nice having like all this extra space in the noose in the new place whereas before it would it was really tough to do live streams like this with multiple cameras different angles yes we woman woman that's right this is a woman's whip this is a ladies tune all right yeah usb3 here thank you Asus for making this USB 3 header a right angle connector I do appreciate it and the way that these grommets on the metruff I see are positioned how it's sort of indented and angled makes it really easy for these right angles connections whether it be for your USB 3 header or for your SATA cables you have to shake the data hey dude all right that's gonna go in just like that Dan the system is looking pretty sexy already we haven't even put the GPU in brosefs massive massive and we do have an HD audio front panel connector that I am NOT going to use because front panel audio is the devil I don't like using it I think it's bad I don't fault other people for using it but it's just a personal choice I abstained in the HD audio connectives whoo all right wow I didn't know that you could install the hard drive with your cell phone I already did it jerk I'm just giving you a hard time it's fun you did looks like you did a fantastic job I did do a fantastic job you always do fun fact wifey sauce and I celebrated our well we didn't celebrate it but we had it's been a crazy week we had our two year wedding anniversary just yesterday no just two days ago so Monday Monday Monday is when we celebrated like I said it's been a long week that's what I said Monday two years of marriage seven years together ah that's that's what drugs are for kids nope you're stuck with me now us but we'll celebrate eventually well we'll find some time after after the thread Ripper launch like thread Ripper launch first and then and then everlasting tree like red river launch everlasting true love and you know we have to get our priorities straight I'm saying it's freaking thread Ripper let's be real here people top-down shot please again front panel connectors um you know what I think we're good you know we can install that in just a sec I have to do this great of course of course any other questions about this case ask away LED power switch boom reset bring sense boo boo boo boom you know would be cool for the future is if we could get a floating cam so that you know when Chris starts interning for us and we do live streams like this again you can just be on the move like with the camera mobile and mobile setup that would be cool I'm sure you'd be down that oh yeah well force him to be down with it awesome against two-speed do do well we're speeding through this thing all right then front panels be installed you and wifey sauce appears to have mounted the hard drive very nicely okay inside the tray just slide down like that and let's say it's connected got another seat of cable right here no mr. Sato go Kyle I am your friend okay see the power turtles in a half-shell say to power and then we've got oh you little dude okay my little in your line and this can go just like this maybe Mary oh my god forty five subscribers now forty five writers freaking crazy guys are nuts you you you guys be kind to my father-in-law he's done nothing he's done nothing to you I'm very protective of my friends and family most of you guys are awesome but there's there's always like that 1% of d-bags that ruin it for the rest of us I'm sure you guys will be very respectful very respectful no worries have nothing to worry about I'm sure and one all died almost positive shell hi Rachel hello Joe my writing standard doing her job we should have Riley and Skylar babies on this stream woman this is a no babies own babies I don't imagine a toddler trying to build a computer that be amazing that would be a very slow live stream I'm sure some people would tune in though baby live stream so if like you know like we had like a team of like a teat like you and me versus a team of babies and see us go because that's pretty much our skill level is baby we're at the baby skill level baby rank biatch all right come on you come on you Santa come on you dirty save a cable done good there you go there you go beautiful beautiful we've got let's see we got a fan cable that needs tending to don't we couple here so there's one over there uh-huh channel fan ha ha ha oh this person has a bigger sin icon I love invader zim Raiders neum and weevils am okay next up we can do dang dude we're like already cruisin we are already cruisin so much so again you guys are just tuning in this is a skylake X X 299 build featuring a core i7 7820 k8 core 16 thread processor from the folks over at Intel the motherboard is an Asus primed X 299 deluxe which is a very nice sexy high-end board with features up the wazoo why thank you very much so our good friend and pal cell processing is moderating chat like he does for awesome hardware sells the best he is the most awesome I love so I love you so much ok we might need a fan hold on oh you know what so there is one additional fan header at the top of the motherboard that is currently inaccessible because I should have done that before I should have plugged in the rear fan into the top you your beautiful face fragile beautiful soulless awful face ok so it looks like there's a pump header down there I'll be right back I'm gonna get a fan splitter or a fan I'm sorry a fan extension cable which should be somewhere near oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah this is gonna do it this will do it bros y'all ready for this doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo that looks like a fan header to me uh-huh oh you know what even better there's one even closer to the area there this goes in like so II and the fun part now you know the fun part is honey what sorry the graphics card wait I gotta undo these first just tell you I'm gonna do it that's all right you tell how it is you do what you want all right so we've got pretty standard expansion slot removal here thumb screws remove the brackets first and thingy wifey sauce go ahead and install that guy for a sec address it that's right yeah this is the right way yeah just make sure that it's going in so that's right oh yeah you're good just make sure that you line up the the slot oh yeah yeah and push it firmly in place and then you can actually do the thumb screws if you like no no just leave it like that because it's already in frame for the camera yeah okay so how do we know if that's the right one can you go back and view all over no cuz I tried scrolling up and it wouldn't let me a certain point it cuts it off okay you handle it you tend to that let me do what I do woman I want me did you seriously just donate another $100 stop donating money to us father-in-law not let your cut off if you you donate any more money I will personally have so thank you and and convinced you to donate more no please stop please we've I should be very thinking I'm very thankful but you're too much you are too much sir it's unnecessary at least at least be like Fred we're like if he gives us a if he donates $100 he always makes he always makes me and Paul do do something horrible to each other that's always fun all right we're wiring this sucker up we got two eight pins two eight pin connections on the GTX 1084 the win from the folks at EVGA a beautiful card a beautiful card in every way that is an EPS cable this looks to be I love everyone maybe wants the best out at a time damn Bros this case system is looking good so good flip it up blue you mean one moment while I feed this through your big mouth keep someone running shut rap man we could use some you know you can do honey could you give me some velcro straps some velcro straps maybe just like two of them two should be good uh yeah those are fine those are fine by the way did you already pick the second mesh to fight winner yes he did yeah you're right you're right mr. Fox was uh you're right you're correct he had the most awesome he did answer stuff my heart doesn't answer ever he's a good answer all right so I'm gonna put this that way let this guy bleed out a little bit wink and I am just going to sort of wrap these guys tie these guys together as best I can donations it's gonna start saving donations okay cool thank you so did you wanna say that's the best you see is you can't see wow you know what you can't I definitely cannot sing mmm you guys want to hear joke no wife you saw singing sick burn bro wow wow wow it looks so good it looks so good you're getting yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah beautiful okay so at this point this is just a cable management game now so like I said I'm gonna be very efficient here because this is just a stream not we're not going for bonus points here or anything but even even if you're in a rush I mean it still managed to make the cabling pretty tidy back here especially with all this room in the power supply basement yes pretty tidy what is this hey you know pay attention to that pay attention to all the details you know what no no comments no comments from the peanut gallery don't you have a a job to be doing oh wait yes I am doing my god I told you to do this oh she hurts me you saw it here we got evidence I thought you needed a second one just thinking yeah just in case you know we could use some zip ties which come included with the define or keep calling the plank the mesh if I see make a minus EE and cable management again it's just super super easy get in here who is the real Daniel mark screenshot that boom and send it to Josh that's okay as long as you can oh wait you know what wait go back go back to his go back to his comment wherever he is find him my little gurus oh yeah go again you can't write you can't what about his name what wait what about this go to that was that give you an option go to channel boom no just copy that link come to that exact link jeschill just don't know what to do once you give him the link we see work okay josh is a smart man sometimes josh is a trustworthy man very sometimes all right how long do you think it'll be until freckle Josh just makes himself at home here and like we just rolled to work one day and he's just sitting on our couch but then at the new studio yeah you're right you know what speaking of which you know how we were talking earlier guys that wifey sauce and I our two year wedding anniversary just passed but we haven't had a chance to celebrate just yet you can cut here well frankly Josh and and the two of us and maybe some other special people will actually be doing a pretty epic yacht cruise I will be a will be doing a special a special activity on the yacht that I think you guys are really gonna like I'm giving away too much information breath but it also did a cool way to you know celebrate celebrate our anniversary and stuff drink you some light on the yacht supercool brizz super cool champagne stew being all fancy I don't even know what to do on a yacht right well I know you're gonna be doing on the yacht well you already know but I'm gonna be chilling all the yummy he'll be chilling like a villain okey dokey dams guy's dams Ghoulies alright wifey sauce can you go ahead and man the camera really quick sure because our build ladies and gentlemen is totes complete ba-ba-boom here's a look at the finish system and look at that back side panel goes on no problem go ahead and zoom in on this puppy go ahead and zoom in on her let's see that let's see that beautiful new bailed yeah Oh like that that is awesome I should also mention something here this is this plate is removable at the front of the shroud you can remove that if you want to make room for three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator at the front we've got that 120 at the front it's gonna give us a nice airflow over our graphics card here ya went in very very smoothly there is plenty of clearance for everything ram included you're not gonna run into any air of interference in that regard and obviously we have pretty much full length support for graphics cards and power supplies for that for that matter bear in mind that if you are gonna be installing a 360 at the front they're gonna need to move your your drive cage over towards the back a little bit and so it would benefit you to have a shorter power supply just so you can fit all your cables and stuff nicely nice doesn't look really good it's kind of me kind of I just literally just found some parts lying around that I knew would do Chris and good as an editing machine and and tried to match it so that it's mostly black and white and looks great absolutely nice so why don't we go ahead and you know we should do yeah you can go ahead and zoom out wait wait there's one thing you need to zoom in on all right let's do the drop down oh yeah top down you know me up woman yeah as promised ladies and gentlemen we're gonna do I think perhaps my first ever live plastic peeling all right you guys ready for this um you know we should do first don't mess up don't mess that we should do first I need a new little stand cuz I want to put it on here it's all messy and stuff all right well it's kind of weird good it'll have a stance right okay fine I'll hold it or you hold it yeah all right we're gonna do the little one first the handle with care' sticker unless it's just on it's part of that just know it just oh yes part of it all right here we go you ready guys oh you know we need it we need it hold on hold on okay putting so much thought into this there's a big deal right here we go quiet are you an old guy old guy ah it was too quick I was too aggressive I was too aggressive oh all right you get that out why can't I can't sit it on here I was just gonna get a bunch of things nice you're right that was a test you passed good job you get you get to keep your job all right so we can worry about that part later yes allies saw this okay wife your sauce wants to put the glass panel back on or of it wait but before you do it before you do that before you do that hold on because you can put that down for a sec because I'm gonna actually um boot the system and make sure that we have that we have everything in order that it works that it actually powers on and stuff AC power cable which here yeah don't put it there all right done here come here you go thank you okay yeah all right here we go is gentleman ready three two one Oh power supply switch ha ha ha ha ha there we go all right let's try this again 3 that's scared me 2 1 ok ok I just I just miss cliff dude the first time it's all good looks like fans are spinning we got all fans spinning we got four fans in here currently oh you maybe turn off some light so they can see the LEDs or it would be too dark in here uh I guess I guess there are LEDs in here aren't there a little bit yeah go ahead and close close off the closed off the blinds well yeah maybe not so much but that's okay we can we can maybe all right no worries we'll uh we'll tweet you guys some pictures in low light of so you can kind of get the the full effect of the LEDs that are on the motherboard which look really nice and of course there's some LED action on the graphics card but um ladies and gentlemen we have here our first ever mesh if IC system a high-end high-end editing workstation which can also probably kick some ass in games if if we ever need it to so so Chris if you're watching this is your new system buddy hope you enjoy it yeah but holy crap that was that was awesome uh I mean I don't know how long was this how long are we have we've been streaming so far I mean it's probably only been an hour or two my point is that we we were able to even while doing a stream and sort of conducting this this this production we were able to build in a full system in the metruff i see pretty quickly and relatively easily I don't think I ran into any snags really so pretty much the same experience at least for me as building in the define see so measure if I see Frank will design you've you've done it yet again awesome job on the case and guys if you want to find out more you can go ahead and visit the link that's in the video description yes let's do that go ahead do you have it all listed and stuff all you guys who donated let's go ahead in why are they saying CPU power I don't know oh wait CPU power did we forget CPU hold on hold on a sec No I think that's good where is this actually going yeah you know CPU is good why are they saying CPU power so we've been live for an hour and 23 minutes according to self 23 minutes an hour and 23 minutes hour and 20 hour and a half not bad no no guys looks pretty good to me CPU seems to be getting power CPU power what why are they I don't know maybe there's truly you know what do you guys mean by CPU power the CPU power cable no the CPU power cables in what do you guys mean I don't know what you get for smoking or maybe maybe I'm just missing something entirely this the 8 pin CPU plug is powered or it's plugged in from the power supply looks good to me are they trolling you oh you guys are a bunch of trolls I hate all of you you're all just salty cuz you didn't win at mesh if I see dicks no I'm just kidding that was a good troll but I hate you all the system is is looking good you know what you got me all freaked out now I hate you guys you got me all freaked out so now I'm going to connect it to a monitor just to ensure and prove to everyone that if this is actually a functioning system with the CPU power ok hold on I'm getting it getting a damn display cable in here all right got a monitor come on there's the connection to the panel that's behind y'see sauce right now wait I'm gonna reboot the system resetting the system come on come on maybe they should turn the monitor on let's go buddy come on hey Hey what are you doing it's totally fine it's totally fine it's all working give me one second I've been having issues with this monitor from time to time it's actually giving me issues with Red River not because of the CPU necessarily powers on come on why isn't working I swear this frickin monitor he's given the issues it's got hella issues brow come on you know we should try instead what about another monitor it's not the GPU power you freaks hold on give me a moment give me a moment gosh see everything was going way too smoothly for it to be a proper livestream the universe was like No he almost got away he almost got away clean not on our watch we are the stream police ensuring that at least one bad thing happens in every live stream alright now we can go select let's do up Oh DisplayPort to select haha look look everyone this is probably not the most practical way to show you but I will can you auditor on that screen to make sure that it's visible your opponent wait right now you see it look look yay we have a post stream you can actually see it what what yeah peek it out a little bit more okay yay all right I feel better now now that I prove that I built a working system yes I have a tech channel and I know how to build a computer that was essential that I proved myself let's select here go up to DisplayPort okay hold on up select display port - all right y'all all right Joe weight-wise and now okay guys that is pretty much gonna do it shout out yes okay hold up for you pull it up so we were basically just using the mount the same monitor that we were using for monitoring the stream and and now that's not appearing we're firing blind here we're firing blindly this see this is why we need new monitors we're actually getting what don't say anything yet we're getting we're getting some new hardware there we go hey hey totally fake you can totally tell that you know there was no reflection in the monitor when there should have been all these conspiracy theories now but we have some donations to read off nice try guys nice try all right donation these are the ones that sell sent me I don't know if that's all of them but those are the ones we have okay cool we only have a couple here David Lee thank you very much for your 10 Canadians hi betwen I'm thinking of getting a new case on top of a new motherboard CPU and RAM this fall because I want to install a hybrid kit for my GTX 1080i is there any recommendation for a case that's a hundred and thirty dollars and below why yes actually the mesh if I see from Frankland's I'm is an excellent option if you're looking for a relatively affordable case with quite a few features that 89 bucks yeah 89 bucks sub $100 you're still getting tempered glass full ATX GPU and power supply support and a very good ventilation from what I can tell obviously I would need to do some more testing to see what like thermals are like under load and things like that but overall get plenty of radiator support as well which is super nice again up to a 240 at the top 360 at the front oh yeah you can put that sexy tempered glass on that'd be a good good time to do that so um yeah good luck though David next we've got Rodney for $100 donation not even any comment attached to it just here you go son and daughter well son-in-law and daughter if it was your son and daughter I'd be really creepy I just old me but that's fine if you only take a second anyway next we've got sad assassin are you so sad assassin did you assassinate someone you weren't supposed to woo you guys are amazing thank you very much I'm feeling I'm feeling so hard right now YV sauce is bailing so hard I'm trying not to touch the glass we can always rent the glass down later stelios deal off 10 euros random symbols because I don't really know what to say keep up the good work thanks Delius we will and finally Frank Dremel from the two bucks use warm water on the residue that's a good idea Fred Frank thank you very much Frank I have a goldfish memory if you couldn't tell but yeah thank you guys so much for tuning in this is a super impromptu stream but it went very smoothly all things considered and thank you to wifey sauce for for joining me and helping me along make sure you that your head doesn't hit the microphone in there not your clothes and thanks again to fractal design for the giveaways for the cases yeah that was awesome so hopefully you two winners will enjoy this brand-new chassis I'm liking it I'm liking it right now a lot that's a lot y'all liking it I know you know our main so here it is guys thank you again signing off have a good day for every upper review coming very soon along with a bunch of other content so stay tuned for all that have a good one y'all Thank You Omar for the to - Thank You Omar
