everyone we're at PAX West 2017 at the HP omen booth omen is the gaming brand of HP I'm looking at something that's pretty new so this was teased back in June I think but it's new as of a couple days ago as and you can buy it so this is the HP omen accelerator it is another of the external graphics solutions and this one is $250 for the MSRP it includes a 500 watt power supply and we're going to go over the rest of the specs through this video before getting to that this coverage is brought to you by the EVGA 1080i sc2 and NVIDIA Destiny to bundle running up through September 4th a 1080i SC to comes with a synchronous pain control for it to duel fans and nine thermal sensors and again includes destiny to learn more at the link in the description below so getting started the enclosure is pretty easy to open this is your other half of the panel that I've already removed and removed by one switch so there's a lever you pull it it comes off and that's the end of the story there once you're inside it's got two slot PCIe support so up to to slog graphics cards and there is actually ventilation on the bottom here so that's that's what we like to see some of the other external solutions really don't do great with ventilation but this one's got a little bit of meshing down here so if you have a dual axial fan or something like that you'll be a little bit better off than if it were just a solid piece of metal for the rest there's presently I think a 120 millimeter fan in the front of this case and the 120 blows directly into both the power supply and the card the power supply does not have its own fan the one that HP includes it's an 80 plus bronze PSU it's somewhat proprietary because it's just a 24 pin for the PCB the PCB being what hosts the GPU and then 2 6 + 2 pin connectors to the video card so no fat on that the front fan will ventilate it just fine though and then GPU will fit a PCIe 16 we actually looked and it is wired for x16 so it's true x16 now as far as length I don't have a hard number for you but we've worked with every video card on the market currently that are large and pretty much all of what fit maybe not a hybrid card but everything else you good internally looking also down here we've got the PCB lower side we don't know anything about it right now I've asked we need to talk to engineering about that's get more information talk about the how the multiplexing or anything like that works it raised it does so much of some stuff on their core they've done a lot of engineering on it it's also a $500 MSRP it's a little bit plus or minus depending where you buy it single screw access back here it's just a screwdriver pass through or you can take all the paneling off everything except is accessible by either an alligator clip or a Philips screw and in terms of the rest I mean it's it's Thunderbolt so your protocol is Thunderbolt connects to the laptop via Thunderbolt just like always you can connect one of these which i think is what they've done right here and other than that it's got a USB 3.1 type-c and a couple of USB 3.0 Taipei's I think they are maybe four of them on the back plus an rj45 Ethernet and then interestingly there's also a 2.5 inch drive support in the front bottom of the case so that will let you do I mean 2.5 inch rise that's just Eve hard drive whatever you want to do which allows you to store your games locally if you don't have the capacity on a small lapse out like that so that's kind of interesting touch we haven't seen a whole lot of that but yeah I think that covers most of it I you get the PCBs probably handling some of the data stuff the storage control the processing from sending everything back to the laptop but we don't have any more information than that on the technical side so should be 250 bucks we'll have more information on this later if there's more to be had but otherwise that's your first look at the HP omen accelerator as always thank you for watching you can subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow sax is to help us out directly I'll see you all next time you
