a soos has what they're calling a nearly $20,000 assist on that they're giving away in part with make-a-wish Foundation here at PAX West 2017 we just had a chance to check it out and have some cool b-roll of it this system was contributed to by a number of companies issues being the main one they're here showing it off using the Maximus 9 extreme motherboard but also got to give a big shout-out to PC junkie mods and blue horse studios who did the modification work introducing the very cool guardians of the galaxy theme with little Groot little groots up there there's a tape deck with the awesome mix of volume water to is in it which is of course a reference to the movie it's a pretty cool stuff before we get into that this is coverage is brought to you by our patreon backers at patreon.com slash gamers Nexus if you'd like to help us directly with this type of reporting you can get involved there you can even join us on discord to talk with the GN members and other members of the community alternatively check out gamers access squarespace.com to pick up a shirt basically the component layout I was going to walk you all through it is they've got to 1080 eyes they are presiding cards to their liquid-cooled for open loop and those have I think a mirror to RGB effect on the top those hook into the rest of the open loop which cools a 70 700 K which is again on the Maximus 9 board that Maximus 9 board has a full cover or a mono block on it covering the BRM and the CPU so there's full coverage on all the hot components and then outside of that they're running a bunch of corsair parts for the fans and the psu in the memory and then primo chill parts for the liquid cooling so that'd be your tubing and i think they've got a 240 and a 360 rat on there as well core shares got 32 gigabytes of vengeance RGB LED memory in the system and then they also have an HX 1000 power supply in there again powering the to 1080i poseidon's which are of course in sli the cool part though is the mod so the mod originally was a Corsair I think 460 x case which is one of their crystal series cases that we showed at Computex or CES a year or two ago so that you can't even recognize it anymore it's been completely overhauled the front of it is an old cassette player it does not work unfortunately but it looks like one and it's got an actual functional cassette player door that opens you can pull the tape out so that's the front of the case and then the top of it is mostly just a clear glass so you can see into the components and there's a groove on top with two buttons that do not press buttons one of which is I think power I'm not sure what the other one does but there are two buttons up there in terms of components if you're adding it up in your head going $18,000 I can build a dual 1080i and 7700 case it's number way cheaper than that the reason is because case mods are not free and the liquid cooling components aren't either so it's pretty expensive to get all those parts together add up all the MSRP plus the cost of the mod you arrive to that number pretty easily so a pretty cool project we wanted to highlight it because case mods are always cool and seen them at PAX is just especially interesting we don't see a ton here we see the mosaic copy tech so there you have it that's the heat winning and so far the only mod we've seen for the show and that one goes to a good cause so basically the idea I think they're doing a make a donation to make a wish and then you get entered into the raffle something to that effect we'll try and leave a link below if you want to get involved with that and it's basically a raffle for a good cause everything the person who gets drawn gets the system it's a pretty cool stuff wanted to highlight it as always you can subscribe for more coverage from PAX West and other shows that we go to thank you for watching patreon.com such game as an accent stomps out directly I'll see you all next time
