hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus dotnet and i am fresh off the plane sort of from California I just spent a few days there for Nvidia's game 24 event where they unveiled officially the GTX 980 that we have already reviewed as of about a week ago now so that reviews on the YouTube channel check the channel for that content and while out there seen Nvidia and their GTX 980 and all that cool stuff we decided hey you know what we're in Southern California all these companies are here NZXT is here cyberpower is here western digital kingston a lot of companies are there the the bigger ones like nvidia and intel r up in norcal in silicon valley but a lot of the major manufacturers are in Southern California so we visited them and I just wanted to show you some footage of our tour through their offices and warehouses and assembly lines and all that stuff I have previously toward Kingston where you can see their smt line how ram and SSDs are made but we went back for more we also visited NZXT here's sort of here's a look at NZXT in these shots you can see some of their designs done by shin fen and he is their design director these are ideas that have come to fruition there's some of the case you might actually recognize some of these as phantom series or Age series or s series cases that have come to be manufactured and it all starts here in these designs and you can actually see in the in the on the wall here that some of them are influenced from things like the Loom ixia by nokia or whoever makes that camera and yachts and things like that just sort of all come inspiration comes from everywhere i guess is what you can say and this is where it starts for NZXT they also have a giant warehouse where they ship out dozens of H 4 40's and other cases phantom 4 tens every day and we got to see that so here's a still and some photos and video moving on from NZXT which was a really fun visit by the way they have some cool stuff on the horizon we did videos can't talk about it yet but stay tuned subscribe to the YouTube channel and you will see it as soon as we are allowed to post so moving on from NZXT we visited Kingston's hyperx group the HyperX group is sort of a a gaming subdivision of Kingston technologies it is a hundred percent focused on gaming products that includes ram and SSDs and now it includes things like headsets as well and potentially other peripherals in the future so hyper x has its own fully revamped office it's got a really nice vibe to it be sort of a cool place to work but inside there is a studio for eSports events because kinston does sponsor quite a few teams some very large ones in the MOBA and used I don't know if they still do but they definitely use the sponsor EG starcraft 2 group and that all happens here for show matches so they've got a really cool 5vs5 setup that's moot lit with red vs. blue lighting and it's used for show matches and streams and things like that so that is the HyperX group next we visited CyberPower and cyber power and I by power and all of these system integrators digital storm all of them we generally don't talk about a whole lot because our site is about building your own computer but there are definitely times when when it is useful to have it sourced by someone else if you don't want to do it or if you are uncomfortable doing it or if it's for a friend or something like that and you just don't have time so we visited CyberPower got to see their assembly line got to see some cool systems did a very good video on a collaboration between cyberpower and NZXT that will be online very shortly within the next hopefully 24 hours of this video being posted assembly is pretty cool we actually inflated one of the packs that keeps the video card in place that's what you're seeing right now these are used so that the video card does not crack or rip the pci express slot out when the system is shipped and most of the system integrators use this I I by Bauer included and we also toured them as you'll see in some footage and basically the way these companies work or at least CyberPower is they receive an order think of it like a ticket at a restaurant they receive an order they give it to the appropriate system builder their varying levels of expertise they build the system it takes anywhere from 13 minutes for a sort of template boilerplate newegg etail system too much longer for custom liquid loops build it put it on the conveyor belt send it down it goes down to the pixie boot guys who pixie image and and ghosts and operating system onto the drive along with all the drivers they do burn and testing for several hours to make sure the components are good and then they ship it out from there so that is how these these facilities work we also visited i buy power what you're seeing right now they have a very similar operation set up it's sort of receive an order build it ship it down the assembly line have it burned in all that stuff very similar in process and we were given a tour through there and i have a full full video talking about all the machines used all the packing stuff it's really some cool technology even if you're not a fan of sis or system integrators so that was the tour of California's southern companies at least the ones we had time to see and we will of course be back for more subscribe to the YouTube channel if you like this content there's plenty of it from our previous California trip that was somewhat a literate of and hard to say and I will see you all next time peace
