Corsair Bulldog - $399 DIY Liquid Cooled 4K Living Room PC

2015-06-03
our Computex coverage has made possible thanks for the following sponsors show them some love for helping us get here to Taipei the Corsair Bulldog has been teased and teased for some time now and we finally get a chance to check it out for ourselves this is the Bulldog well it's the inside frame at least the exterior shell is not finalized yet but it looks this way for now these angular elements mixed with a bit of color accents plus solid and mesh panels and the Bulldog name because apparently of the case feet but perhaps all of Corsairs livingroom design products will be named after a dog of some kind up top there's a power LED and Corsair is pushing this as a livingroom pc for 4k gaming and we'll get to that in just a moment but the concept behind the Bulldog is to create a DIY foundation or do-it-yourself foundation so for $3.99 you will receive the chassis itself there are new SFX power supply the SF 600 of 600 watts with low-profile black and short cables perfect for the shots in design the DIY kit will also include a mini ITX motherboard that's right a mini ITX motherboard will be included and we'll know more information on exactly what brand and what type of motherboard after skylake finally launches and the last default component to come with the Bulldog is this low profile small form-factor liquid cooler that utilizes a large blower style fan behind the shroud sucking air from below and channeling all that through the back and notice this h5s F cooler is not attached to the case but instead is mounted directly into the motherboard and so for $3.99 you are getting a check mark for compatibility you don't have to worry about getting the right CPU cooler and all that's left to do is drop in your CPU your GPU and mount a few drives so the value of the Bulldog DIY system is actually pretty attractive and I gotta say the interior layout is functional the assembly process will most likely follow a step-by-step easy procedure GPUs up to eleven point five inches will be supported I love the drive bracket that can house triple SSDs to a which can be replaced by a mechanical one and they will also add a PWM fan hub which is very important as most ITX motherboards have only two fan headers and so the bulldog can house for fans in total also an important part to mention is support for a 120 millimeter radiator above the power supply so for water cooling your GPU using one of their all-in-one coolers might be an awesome decision for best possible thermals and noise in the system and so it's a really cool direction for courser I personally love the interior layout of the bulldog reminds me of a bigger iv0 one from silverstone but now with the low profile CPU cooler included and potential for water cooling your GPU as well Corsair has emphasized this is not a final product still and sort of designing and prototype staging but they are looking for input on the exterior shell and we would love to hear your input on that and would you be interested in getting just the Bulldog case by itself without all the DIY components so leave me comments down below thanks for watching and we'll see you
