hey guys welcome back to harbor unboxed today we have another episode of unboxing boxes forgive me if I'm a little foggy this morning i had a big sunday yesterday so as my dad's 60th so we celebrated that quite well and it's made doing this the next morning a little more difficult than usual but anyway the show must go on so we have three boxes to get through today I've got one big case box down here or at least I hope it's well I think it's a case box it's quite large and two other boxes here so we'll start with this one it looks like it's got a bit of a blowout so hopefully everything insides okay and we'll find out anyway of course we're going to start an unboxing boxes episode off with a two keyboards not one but two and they are the looks like cherry brand keyboards which I've actually never seen myself personally first and so the MX board six from cherry and the MX board three presumably both use the cherry switches that's interesting i've yeah I've never actually seen the cherry branded keyboards before obviously just other keyboards using their switches this one's very heavy we'll have a look at the three first I assume this is the cheaper version I'll look at them we'll check them out and then I'll do a quick bit of research to find out pricing and availability and stuff like that because I honestly know absolutely nothing about these I didn't even know that being sent ah obviously has a detachable cable it's not detachable from the box and looks likes probably feet covers so stand at a USB to cable there some silicon pads okay so we've got some low profile keycap see interesting okay they are using the red cherry switches yup so we got the fold-out feet there and they don't come with the pads pre-installed so your do that yourself to give it a bit of extra grip on the desk and for those that like to leave it leave the keyboard laying flat on their desk is what looks like some silicon pads here to give it some grip but again for whatever reason these aren't pre-installed so that's a bit strange not the best job but anyway good enough for an unboxing episode so there you go now if your lay it down flat it's extremely sticky that's going nowhere and with the feet up it's also pretty sticky but not as much as the big silicon pads so it's all plastic construction feels like it's a reasonably good quality and yeah those that don't like the big tall keycaps it's sort of like a there are sort of somewhere between the normal size key caps and your Chiclets I suppose definitely a lower profile anyway and then you've got a detachable cable so you have to worry about the cable breaking or anything like that because you can just replace it easily dedicated media keys for your volume mute button what else we've got everything interesting windows keys doesn't look like there's any alternate functions or a function button or anything like that so it is a fairly basic layout but interesting i'll see what the price of that keyboard is in a moment okay so this one looks like it's a bit more serious so based on the little manual here it's backlit I don't think it's RGB but it looks like it's got different colored zone lighting probably check that out nice big rest rest comes with a soft protective sort of fabric this is looking a bit fair bit more serious one got a braided USB to table this time well that wrist wrist rest feels really nice I like that a lot that's cool oh wow it's magnetic that's really cool so this is a steel tab here and then it looks like we've got some powerful magnets just in here so that's the only point of contact as soon as those two get close to each other they just pull in and it's strong enough to hold it there but obviously on your desk it just lines it up nicely wow I really like this thing already so we've got as the other cool thing whoops just not to tee off put it back together the other cool thing about this is you can just obviously put it down like that and if you want to leave the rest rest there up at the keyboard up all you do is you just tilt it up like that so that's that's cool or if you drag it on your desk it comes with it so that's probably the coolest wrist rest I've ever seen on a keyboard and I've seen quite a few as you might imagine it looks like the cable is potentially detachable not sure about that I have to read the manual on that one I want to break it but you've got feet on the bottom these ones have the rubber pads installed and there's nice cable route channels that go to the far extremes of either side of the keyboard so that's cool as well I'm sniffing a bit and stuff excuse me you guys I've got seriously bad hay fever today huh huh which is we because it's the coldest day we've had in a while it's raining but anyway crew definitely with all the alcohol he'd be dust as a real thing anyway um nice braided cable love the wrist rest on this thing probably yeah I'll have to say that's the best wrist rest size comfort design the whole thing I've ever seen so that's really impressive the keyboard is again an old plastic design which is so that's fine really it looks like it to be reasonably easy keep clean it's just got this is like a silver plastic top which looks pretty cool the black key caps black plastic underneath this is a nice sort of rubberized pad it's really really grippy and it just has the MX sort of ingrained in it over and over again an MX texture if you will I suppose we should check out the lighting so just as I saw in the manual it looks like it's got just zone lighting so its majority of the keyboards red and then we have the windows key the function key and the num lock key all in blue so I don't know if you can change that let's have a look okay so that's the brightness level does go quite bright well you can change the windows key and you can turn the lighting off if you want that's cool it's when you turn it on and off it fades up and fades down so that's a pretty cool effect ok so after a quick consult with the manual it appears like there are no lighting effects or any fancy stuff like that the the gaming keyboards have which kind of makes senses I think this is more of a gentleman's gaming keyboard and probably for office use and like kind of stuff where you know the backlighting is just a bit easier if you're working in a at night or in a darker environment so it's not really meant to be or odd you being flashy and all that kind of stuff that's a bit bit more our distinguished that's annoying Australia the box even though it came wrapped in this the space bar has a little chunk taken out of it and the lights bleeding through so that's a bit of a shame but I mean other than that it's a very cool looking keyboard i really like it i'll probably replace the white at my desktop with this and give this a go for a while i can gently pop out a key here again this has got the red cherries which is the same as the other one but yeah very very cool office type casual gaming keyboard which i think will end up on my office pc because i really quite like it the wrist rest again is just awesome i love that thing so I can't wait to give that a really good workout I'll just quickly see if I can find some pricing info ok so the Cherry MX six which is this thing is very expensive I'm seeing a hundred and seventy four dollars on Amazon there are offers as low as a hundred and forty-six but yeah that's in u.s. dollars so that's a seriously expensive keyboard and it looks like I'll just check the other one so shockingly it looks like this version is a hundred and eighty dollars now let's go okay it says offers from eighty three dollars so that seems a bit more reasonable so I'm just looking on amazon here I don't know what availability and Australia's like I'm assuring not good since I've never ever seen them before but that doesn't necessarily mean anything okay yeah so this one is ad dollars at newegg and I'd suspect the same at amazon so eighty dollars for a fairly good quality well it looks like a good quality cable it's obviously got genuine Cherry MX red switches it probably comes with browns as well so that's a reasonable price there's not much in the way of extra features but probably comes with a decent warranty and yeah it looks like the the six is a hundred and eighty us so that's that's really expensive even though it's got probably what I think is probably the best wrist rest I've ever seen that's still expensive I'll just quickly check Ozzy pricing okay available in Australia does seem pretty good but whether you want to buy owns another question you're looking at at least 270 for the board six and most prices like a scorp tech em wave Cpl the big guys are charging 300 Ozzy for this thing so I struggle to see three hundred dollars with a value there and this cheaper one isn't in Australia but it would be over a hundred dollars anyway looking at sort of a conversion so yeah good keyboards but not good prices anyway well may look at them in more depth later right so hopefully that's the keyboard out of the way for this episode and on to the next box will leave their big one for last I know what's in this box because it had a shipping invoice and it's something I've been waiting for for a while but anyway we'll get into it and we'll talk about it when I get it out yep awesome it's taking me long enough guys but I finally have a radeon r x 480 full gigabyte graphics card so i purchased this from newegg a bit of an experiment really I've been a bought from newegg before but it was a really good price that I got this for I'll throw up some pricing information on the screen for you but basically i got this delivered from the US cheaper than what i could get it for at any of the local retailers and hopefully it's a fairly reasonable version i'm sure it will get the most out of the card perhaps not in the overclocking department but certainly out of the box sort of factory overclocked performance should be good so let's take a look at it it is the power color red dragon version that wasn't obvious enough like this point and as we found recently with all these sort of budget eshe kind of cards packing the card itself and a quick installation guide you get nothing else in the package not that you should really need anything else okay so it's a decent cooler on there nice big fan it's got a huge backplate standard connectivity you've got three display ports one hdmi and a DVI port but yeah it's a pretty cool looking card the heat sick on it looks reasonable not a huge so interesting to see how that performs temperature wise but yeah it was quite cheap for the four gig models all trying I remember exactly what I paid just looking at the shipping invoice here which is all in u.s. dollars so not exactly what I paid but I just went and checked and i paid 273 dollars delivered for this card that's Ozzie 273 Ozzie delivered which is pretty amazing because when I checked on static ice 330 Ozzy was the cheapest for gigabyte RX for Eddie listed so that's that's a massive discount at least sixty dollars off and that's the static ice price isn't including shipping so you'd pay at least ten if not twenty dollars more for shipping as well so buying these off newegg for Ozzy's seems like the way to go unless missing something but yeah I'm happy with that price anyway for this kind of card the only thing to be aware of it did take two weeks to arrive I am in rural Victoria so that adds a few days on but I mean yeah two weeks isn't too bad especially given the kind of discount that I believe you're getting on this card one of the reasons why i have bought this and you know it's good timing to get it is because if you guys didn't see last week we covered the AMD relive edition a crimson relive edition driver which boosts performance slightly and some of the existing games but add some cool new features and yeah it's a really good driver update from AMD and I thought well with that big driver update we've got some exciting product releases coming in January why not do sort of a a December holiday season Christmas GPU comparison update so basically I've got every every current generation GPU yet all of them and I'm comparing them all performance wise with the latest drivers in the latest games to see how they stack up and then make some recommendations for any of you guys looking at buying a new GPU or graphics card for Christmas so anyway that's the power color card I don't think I'll bother reviewing that card I might do some an updated for gigabyte vs 8 gigabyte comparison the new games if you recall Matt did that when the RX 480 first came out using the bios which could shut off four gigs of that vm so you could test the card with just four Gigot accessible or the full eight gig and back then we found it made no real difference which was kind of annoying because it was advertised as being a two-hundred-dollar us graphics card and then it's what I came out it well it's meant to be 240 but it was selling for well above the MSRP for ages and it sort of killed the excitement for the RX 480 at least for me anyway I think it did for quite a few people and I was really disappointed that AMD didn't send out a nice full gigabyte model to reviewers because it was way better value especially a timer review because like I said we found no real difference between eight gig and the four gig version but you're paying twenty percent more which kind of kills the cost frame there but anyway now the four gig card so we'll see how that stacks up against stuff like the GTX 1063 gigabyte and even the RX 470 okay last up we have a big in this is my presumed case oh cool the new silverstone k 007 and this is a new product let's get into it hopefully you guys can see that ok spear a sleek black case this is I left some of the plastic in it right so this case is currently selling it just got on sale anyway for a hundred and ten Ozzy so pretty good price I think we'll see we'll see what it's like inside actually probably makes sense to have a bit of a look outside before we go inside ok so the power button and reset buttons are sort of integrated into this striped horse yes strapped panel on top if you can see it we have the i/o panel which has a pair of USB type-c USB 3 port and then to audio jacks and then looks like we've got ventilation up the sides and on top the front and top panels are plastic the door panels are steel and underneath we have four feet looks like it stands the case just over 100 mil off the ground and a nice removable dust filter for the power supply then around the back we have what looks like a 1 40 millimeter fan motherboard IO panel 7 PCI expansion slots and the power supply goes in the bottom so let's get this door off a lot of sound deadening foam in the side panel here which should feels good quality as well that should really keep the what well keep the rattles and words and all the kind of fad noises and things from escaping from the case too much it's on the back side as well means if we got a nice cut out here in the motherboard tray for rear access for installing aftermarket coolers both doors are secured by thumb screws and there you go you can see the padding there as well on the opposite side door so they've done the typical the whole bottom section of the case is closed off and that's where you will put your power supply and presumably 3.5 inch drives but I will check that out in a second he / fans for a hundred and ten dollar case we've got the one forty millimeter in the rear so an exhaust fan and there are a pair of one forty millimeter intake fans up the front here so that's going to suck a hell of a lot of it in hopefully keep everything inside cool a little packet here with screws and stuff and yet so down the bottom power supply and a pair of three and a half inch hard drives or are these look like they will support 2.5 as well and then you've got your two and a half so probably SSDs can you go there standard sort of amount of storage for a mid-tower they use days and then there's some nice cable management holes with rubber grommets to keep everything looking neat and tidy a pretty simple inside I mean the main focus with these Silverstone cases is they like to keep you know all the things that usually block air flow like they arm hard drives power supply all that sort of stuff and especially well power supply cables down out of the way and this allows all this area to basically be unencrypted by anything other than heat seems like you'll possibly have a cpu heatsink II the graphics card and all the air flows through nicely and they get sucked out the back so you've got a constant fredo fresh air cool air flow coming right through the case over all the critical components so that's cool and it looks like you can also add top mounted fans as well but any I possibly will end up reviewing this case so it's a bit of a crazy time at the moment with so much stuff coming up and already so much on but if I do have time this is the case I would like to review because typically the KL series from Silverstone has been really good value really good performing nice features sorry we'll look at that probably the next month or two in greater detail hopefully sooner but yeah like I said pretty busy so anyway on today's episode we got to finally kick up our first full gigabyte our X 480 graphics card so that's cool i can i'll probably get benchmarking this afternoon with that that's about all i can be bothered doing today um after I edit this video anyway a pair of cherry keyboards which look quite good quality I really love the MX board 6 the wrist rest and that's awesome but the prices yeah a bit insane very well see if i'll do a bit more research on that and see if i can find better pricing for it I suspect I might be able to anyway so yeah para keyboards graphics card and a cool case and the case does seem to be good value and this I believe was really good value through newegg so any Ozzy's wanting an RX for 80 for a really good price I recommend jumping over to newegg hitting the drop down at the top to change from us to Australia and yeah see if there's this was the best deal when I bought it two weeks ago I believe it's still there but i'll check anyway and i'll i'll throw up an a screenshot of what the best buy is there at the moment later this week as well i'll be able to post that core i3 hyper-threading performance video I didn't get around that last week because the AMD real I've also relive that was I know I've dragged this video that was a funny painful little story which i'll quickly tell you guys about so AMD message merely last week and said we've got this big driver update that's under embargo we'd like to send through the details and if you could put something together that'd be cool so I said sure send the details through and there was a conference call for a briefing sort of waka sore throat so there was no so there was no misunderstandings which anyway I missed the call and there was a small misunderstanding nothing too drastic well yeah I could fix it anyway but basically I just assumed I didn't even think at all but I just assumed it was real I've didn't even enter my mind that a lie ve was pronounced as live or live I just assumed alive I yeah when you're rushing through all this stuff and I was trying to get all the benchmarks done so i could do the other stuff and then record things what happened you saw the video it was quite in depth and i went with real real I've and I thought because they were adding you know their shadow play tight feature so to record footage live I don't know I've just went with real life and I finished the video and I was getting it all ready and my wife walked in and she's like okay that's cool is it real live or relive I was like what do you mean when she goes you know live or live a stared at her blankly and I was like oh crap just ruined my day so I rang up AMD and yet it was relived so I'd said real life about 60 bloody times in that video so there wasn't really any easy way to fix it i just spent hours filming it editing and putting all together and i had to start from pretty much scratch so that was frustrating but i got the video done in time it was up and you guys have possibly seen it by now so yeah there are some of the pitfalls of doing video rather than written which I've done for more than a decade now doesn't really matter how you say in your head it's written the same way and it's fine but yeah video you've got to be a bit more aware of those kind of things so hopefully it won't catch me at too much in the future ba and video update of the office how that's going that's going really well and I'll have a video for you guys tomorrow with the office update so that should be interesting so anyway I'm going to stop rambling because otherwise this video will go out to be about half now along and I have done that before so anyway I'm your host Steve and I'll catch you guys later in the week bye you
