New Workstation PC Upgrade | Aluminum + Glass = Sexy!

2015-10-14
this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service hello everyone this is Dmitry with higher canucks and based on many requests to remove my current editing PC off the floor and onto desk I'm talking to you Paul and Kyle and I decided to take this opportunity to do a workstation upgrade revision 2 and change a few things around that would complement a PC on the desk off the floor let's get started so my current case selection is an awesome one the white fantex and deluxe but I don't particularly like the giant full tower on the side and wanting something more suitable for this sort of showcase environment this is where the lien lead PC await a cube case style comes in that not only has the appropriate capacity to fit all my drives and hardware but it's a beautiful enclosure with glass panels and built-in lighting I love the dual chamber design and I haven't worked with an Lian Li enclosure in a while so I'm really excited to see how this will turn out and if you'd like a full view of the PC oh wait let us know by leaving like on this video I will also be substituting my reference 980ti for a card that I am super pumped to use the 980ti Seahawk by MSI that features the Corsair age 55 cooler on the GPU so I can go crazy with an overclock and dump all that heat away from the case and hopefully maintain a completely silent operation and that's important as the entire build will be less than a meter away from my face plus the glass doesn't exactly isolate the noise but before the build begins we must complete the teardown you now I initially did not want to part with my x61 cooler from NZXT because I love all the manual controls through the km software but the case will be using does not support any 140 millimeter fans so we'll have to stick to 120 modes and this is where the corsair h 105 comes in and this is all the hardware that if you think about is the sort of the daily driver for everything that i do on the channel starting with the mountain board this is an asus x79 pro 1 32 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance Ram and I'm still rocking the sandy bridge-e CPU the 3930k at 4.5 gigahertz that is still going strong but you guys know it an X 99 build is definitely in order so we'll leave you suggestions on my future potential hardware now I'm super excited to substitute the reference 980ti with this water-cooled Seahawk card from MSI that has a beautiful aluminum backplate that perfectly fits with the aluminum enclosure this is a hybrid cooler meaning the blower style fan is still present to cool the V RMS and the rest of the components spread on the PCB but for the main GPU msi has teamed up with Corsair to release this edition of the gtx 980ti this means much lower temperatures and quieter operation specifically at load as the reference card on idle is already damn quiet for storage I'm running dual Samsung 850 Pro SSDs and a whole lot of mechanical drives that I seriously need to upgrade as I'm quickly running out 10 terabytes of storage so if you have any NASA jes cheon's leave them in the comments below powering the system is a Coolermaster V 750 power supply with black module cables and reliable power delivery I'm excited to use the Lindley PCO 8 particularly because of the glass panels and all this integrating lighting so they get to work and rebuild my workstation PC I am super happy to say that the first boot goes successful and I'm extremely happy and how this bill turned out I like that the case is equipped out of the box for airflow with six fans included if only we had a fan controller so they don't blast to 100% but I was able to set the fan profiles inside the motherboard anyway I really love the dual chamber separation it's so refreshing to just admire the hardware and all my fans in the main chamber I said to exhaust while the three front fans deliver cool air to the rear chamber that houses the power supply and all the drives and this sorry to say mess of cables that thanks to this separate chamber allows the main visible portion of the interior to remain totally clean and beautiful Lele supplies a few adhesive RGB LED strips that have spread on each front column and at the bottom rear to have the background glow that looks fantastic the MSI text on the 980ti stays illuminated in the yellow that doesn't fully suit this build but it's a pretty minor thing and doesn't worry me at all finally it's time to put those front and side glass panels on and the exterior fact the glass creates is truly unique not only does it create this cool-looking reflections off the environment and trust me it looks even better in person than on video but the custom lighting combined with glass panels is absolutely stunning in the dark and this is exactly the showpiece system status that I wanted to achieve for my main workstation PC and while it's a bit wider than the interlocks it's both shorter in height and length that sits on top of that white cabinet just perfectly so guys thank you so much for joining on this very fun workstation upgrade project revision 2 we hope you enjoyed and make sure to subscribe and follow to be notified when our full review of the leonie PC o 8 case is released im3 tree with harbor Canucks we'll see you in the next one
