2016-01-09
hey everyone i'm steve from gamers an axis that we're at thermaltake suite at CES 2016 looking at some of the case mod submissions for the case mod invitational there are two winners here this is the second place mod then there's the first place model which is a crazy tank thane we'll be looking at momentarily both use the x9 case all this content for CES 2016 is brought to you by I by powers revolt to small form-factor gaming PC so looking at the cases here this is the x9 which we've shown previously but the mods obviously it's called the water mod and there's some custom machining here going on with the side panels the metal the mesh was all removed from the x9 so you're just looking at basically what's left of the frame and the memory is pretty cool I have not personally seen this memory yet but it's got a cathode in there that has this electric pulsing effect going down the tube on the top of the RAM so that is pretty neat that's from the effexor memory group and other than that everything's just pretty much the standard multi SLI full ATX things that you have in your everyday gaming computer looking at the next case there is a mod from Jesse Palacio and that is the tank mod so it is literally just it's a tank and there's some action where the tank guns will fold upward both guns fold up the front plate folds up and it's all very heavy steel pretty heavy duty stuff inside is the original or what's left of the x9 chassis it's basically just a frame at this point and it is on its face it's been rotated a bit and that's got a horizontal motherboard orientation really no focus on air cooling or anything like that it's all liquid with the thermaltake liquid cooling solutions and then some thermaltake power supply and there with an asus gtx 970 and we're not sure exactly what the cpu is but it's some kind of Intel CPU so those are the two case mod Invitational mods so the next thing we're looking at is part of thermal takes actual offerings not just case mods and the one primarily that I wanted to focus on is the wp 200 and the way these work it's the W line or series and there's the main chassis that's the W signifier and then p is the pedestal and that is a separate unit that you can stack with the w main chat see that's similar to some of the x-series cases we looked at last year so the wp 200 is a five hundred and fifty dollar what thermaltake is calling super tower and its massive it's got actually a system installed on either side almost kind of mirrored and both in this demo system are sli configurations on either side of the motherboard tray or trays and that's it's sort of like a server chassis it's not really something you'd be using as a mainstream builder or even a low-end enthusiast again five hundred fifty dollars but for server setups for Nass setups for multi seek systems in one case like a bigger version of the fan tax many XL then the wp to hundreds worth looking at we haven't obviously tested or anything like that so thermals not too sure of it thermaltake is big on the mesh everywhere and fans everywhere so I'm sure the thermals are generally fine but we'll look at noise and thermals and things like that if that have the chance check the links in the description below for more information on the cases and other options from thermaltake this year at CES 2016 we've got all that detailed down below and then hit that patreon link the postural video if you want to help us out and i'll see you all next time
