the Corsair k63 Wireless lets you experience cable free gaming with genuine Cherry MX switches long-lasting battery life and perky backlighting it's the same high quality Corsair keyboard you love with no strings attached to learn more click on the link below for morning what's up guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well so I'm gonna build another PC today but it's not actually gonna be a gaming PC this one is mainly for video playback purposes a buddy of mine who works in the office building here has his own company he's a lawyer he's a cool guy he actually needs a video playback PC not for home theater purposes but actually for his work he specializes in sports attorney blob business there I'm sure there's a very proper word or phrase for that but he used to actually play in the NFL and I'm not sure if he's comfortable with me sharing his identity so I'm gonna keep it anonymous for now but he used to be an NFL player back in the day and now he he works in the courtroom on behalf of professional athletes and he needs a very simple PC that can play video back to the jury so that he can show the effects of long-term athleticism on professional sports players so an example that he gave me was baseball players who after swinging a bat for 15 years plus some things start to go loose their joints wear out there's huge wear and tear on the body and so he has to be able to show that to a courtroom in order to make his case that's a very high level overview of what he does but basically he needs a very simple PC so we're gonna help him out today and build him exactly that so let's just dive right into the parts here this is really a great time he approached me at the perfect time because the Rison AP use just came out with the Vega graphics this one in particular is the Rison 320 200 G for $99 MSRP you're getting a fantastic four core four thread Rison chip along with built in integrated vague graphics and this is of course the Vega 8 graphics with eight GPU cores and it is overclockable I'll probably overclock it for him the motherboard we're using is one that you've seen probably featured on the channel a couple times now it's the gigabyte a B 350 and gaming Wi-Fi which obviously means it's oriented towards a gaming audience but of course it could be used for non gaming purposes as well its mini ITX so you can tell we're going with a small form-factor build here and obviously it has Wi-Fi from the name which is gonna be very useful in the court room I would imagine and end up to slot a bunch of other nice features there so I'll be happy with that for memories we've got 8 gigabytes of rip jaws 5 this is of course from g.skill this is ddr4 memory at 2400 speed we've also got our single drive for the system which is WD black m dot 2 this is the PCIe nvme drive which is about 99 bucks for a 256 gig model and it's really the only drive he's gonna need because the video files that he's playing on this thing are gonna be relatively small and that's mainly what he's gonna use this system for he may use it for some productivity slash you know Microsoft Office applications but nothing that's gonna really need a bunch of storage so there should be plenty for his needs and of course there is always room for expansion in the ever-so-popular and one of my favorite mini ITX cases till this day the fractal design node - oh - you guys know if you've been following the channel for a while that I love this case I've been using it a long time also fun fact this is actually my personal case that I've been using for over a year now but that's only for the purpose of this video because I'm still waiting for a fresh unit to arrive from fractal design once that gets here I'm actually gonna gut the system out and put all these components in the brand the brand new case cuz I want to I don't want to send our client home with with a scratched up slightly modified chassis but I love this case I think it's gonna look really nice for him in the courtroom it's got a very professional look to it it's not all flashy and you know gamer II and stuff so I think he'll dig it and I like the fact that it can be vertical or horizontal so he has those options there but those are our parts ladies and gentlemen you should also bear in mind that this is an extremely simple bill we've got one two three four five retail products I mean and there's technically eight components in here I should mention this is the model that includes the power supply that's the one he's getting so there's already a power supply in here 450 watt 80 plus bronze unit ketchup and mustard cables but that's okay and there is the included Wraith stealth inside of the Rison 320 200 G package here so we got CPU cooling down as well got a nice overhead camera here getting all fancy wifey sauces on the B cam or the C can whatever you want to call it and I have beer so we are all primed for this here build let's get started we got pre-applied thermal paste on our rate stealth so that'll save us the whole three seconds thanks Andy my only one complaint about this motherboard is that I wish there were more fan headers there's only two and you know one of those gets eaten up by your CPU cooler of course and you would think it's a it's a fairly feature forward motherboard that I could see a lot of people putting inside of like a much bigger mini ITX case than the note 202 which would probably have more than one case fan in it not to mention the potential for radiators slim pickins and in fan headers now one thing to point out is that since we're not dealing with a discrete GPU we don't have to fiddle around with what's arguably the worst part about the no 202 by that I mean the PCIe riser card we've got to PCBs here that snapped together like so one end goes into the PCIe slot on your motherboard and the other one kind of passes through this little cutout slot of the node - OH - and there's three standoffs on the wall the case that you use to mount to the larger PCB and it could be kind of a pain in the ass to get in there once it's installed it all works fine in the end but I'm really glad we don't have to deal with this this time around the other benefit to having such a simple system like this with only an MDOT to drive for our storage solution that we don't have to bother with any SATA cables of any kind which also at the same time kind of makes it a shame that we're dealing with a non modular power supply because it would definitely tidy up things and give us a bit more room in here but at the same time we don't need this whole area for any drives we don't have any drives other than the one that's directly mounted to the motherboard so we can still stash all of this excess right Wow bends over baby some of you guys may have noticed the slight modification that I made right here to the crossbar of our node 202 that was basically so I could pass a some radiator tubes some liquid cooling a i/o tubes right through here so yes we actually did water cooler CPU in this case at some point which as a reminder this case does not support a O's natively so that was super cool and I felt really badass for doing that of course some people argued it's compromised the structural integrity of the case but I think that's a bunch of bollocks especially once the lid is on that provides more than enough support but like I said we'll be giving our clients a fresh case so he won't have to deal with my amateur mods now this is also where it gets interesting for small form-factor cases like this because mini ITX boards tend to have the most differentiated layouts from board to board I kind of like the fact that the USB 3 header for this board is way over here it works out well for this case because we get to stretch it across a little bit more we get to utilize more of the cable front panel connectors are also on the polar opposite side here this can sometimes backfire if the headers are so far away from where your front panel connectors stem from that you can't physically reach but no such problems here I'm not gonna plug front panel audio in because it sucks I didn't just cut that cable off really snip snip and there's our cable management for the day nothing spectacular but it'll do well would you look at that folks it is oh dude oh that was that was a really quick I mean I edited this down obviously but probably 20 minutes to build the whole thing the fact we didn't have a discrete GPU or any drives other than that single MDOT 2 means this was a really straightforward bill there it is ladies and gentlemen should we turn it on should we just make sure it works all right this sucker is ready for takeoff Vulcan heavy status so 3 to 8 Hey the other nice thing about this system is that you have two fans your CPU cooler and the power supply I know for a fact both of these are very very quiet fans so and there's no LEDs really other than you know the power LED on the case if it weren't for that man you would not know this system was idling or on I should say it is next thing on the agenda is to load up Windows 10 install drivers and this thing is good TIG yeah I really do think that our clients gonna be happy with how this turns out it's super quiet it looks nice and it's gonna perform very well for his needs yeah no testing necessary I think this time around probably won't do any brent benchmarks or anything like that there's already a ton of benchmarks on these rise and AP use including my own which I still need to do a follow up video for that's a whole other story but that's all I got for now guys so if you enjoyed this video if you liked it then show me I like it but toss and the like on it you can also check out good ol floatplane if you want to watch my videos a whole week early without ads its fantastico apart from that guys thank you so much for tuning in to this one I hope you guys have a good day and I will see y'all in the next video
