every day this week or right now right now Starbucks coffees the only way to start this line man all right so we are on our way to CES 2018 my fifth year going to a CES but this time it's gonna be a little bit different because were going to be covering some really interesting stuff not just PC but you guys have been saying you want more car videos and stuff so we're branching out a little bit here we are doing a thing with BMW as well we're gonna be doing some track stuff on Friday we're doing some autocross and drip stuff on Thursday and we're gonna be talking to the folks over with Gran Turismo and their new GTV are set up in collaboration with BMW so we're gonna be doing some car stuff as well as tech wandering on the Convention Center floor to try and see if we can find some weird things I'm out at a mission to find what's weird and new so you know what though we got to go meet up with Brian he's already out there we're gonna see it a couple of idiots can't make something happen this year have some fun I'm not durable but I saved the hail of a Bloggie that vlog camera hi so I to focus right now here we are at the Coursera suite here at CES 2018 and we're gonna look at a few new things that are very gamer oriented some updates of some existing products and even a new product like we're looking at right here it's a carbide spec Omega this is Chris Ayers attempt at getting into more of a more affordable chassis market you guys know Corsair has a pretty wide range of cases but the spec will make it comes in at about a hundred bucks it's got some pretty neat features it's got tempered glass three sixty millimeter radiator support full-length graphics card support and it really just really kind of gets people a interesting looking case without costing too much it's even got this integrated case lighting on the front unfortunately not RGB you can't change the lighting color and then we'll cover that you get on the light it's gonna be dependent on which model that you get right here they're showing we've got a red and black version we've got a white and black and then the black on black so the black case and the red case you get the red light and with the white case he gets the white hopefully we'll see an RGB version of this in the future that way you can at least change the color with your future builds but unfortunately the light loop fans that you see in here are not included with this case which would have made it an outstanding value but they just got that in here showcasing you know what it would look like but something else we also have in here is one of their new coolers which is the h1 50i Pro which is a three hundred and sixty millimeter RGB with a ml bearing fan so it's not the RGB fan it's a maglev bearing which is actually something I've been using my personal BIG's extremely quiet it's one of those things where they're trying to get you a lot of performance with as quiet as possible and that's what they're aiming to do here with the new 150 and 115 I Pro which is a two hundred and eighty millimeter version of the same cooler now if we're talking about cases we've got something else to take a look at over here as well fans of course they are probably very familiar with the Obsidian series a way back when when my first high-end builds that I did personally was my 900 D what we have right here is the new obsidian series they're kind of relaunching the line and they're starting at here with the 500 D now pricing on this is anticipated be about 149 we've got two different versions here that we're looking at and keeping what the Obsidian series tradition there's a lot of brushed aluminum there's a lot of aluminum on this chassis but what's new for kind of the Obsidian series here is the tempered glass it's got a hinge door right here which just shuts magnetically there's no tools required to open this we've got a brushed aluminum cover on the top right here this is actually a not a tool-less removable panel so I would have liked to see that maybe have some sort of a ball mount on there to just pop off easily for cleaning but that does not simply pop off but on the front we have this brushed aluminum cover again it does not swing open or anything but we have plenty of gap right here on the side to let air into the front of the chassis both the door swing open as you can see so there's not gonna be any issues with choking off the inlet of this chassis but over here we have kind of a special one-off version they're showing this is the I'm gonna call it a triple tempered glass panel we've got two tempered glass panels we've got this gorgeous tempered glass front panel which is a curved panel curved tempered glass is just so elegant but as you can see we're also showing off your some light loop fans that are obviously RGB fans but this is this is what an obsidian chassis theoretically would look like if you built it out with all of course there's DIY build-it-yourself components obviously we've got a lot of light and stuff going in this but this isn't an amazing chassis at the $149 price point I will probably see the Obsidian series grow as time goes on there sort of relaunching it so you can expect it to probably scale up from here in terms of size but this is the this is the entry point into the Obsidian cases so this right here is the lap board this is a successor to the lap dog we saw a few years back oh it's pretty neat about this is it's got a couple of new products here from Corsair so this is the k63 wireless mechanical cherry red or Cherry MX red switch keyboard it snaps right in here this is more of a shell that you could put your accessories in which is perfect for home theater pcs my upstairs living room that you guys have seen that set up this would be perfect and ideal for that it also does indeed have a cord as well so you can plug it in if you want to to charge it obviously battery life on this is about fourteen hours continuous use based on its current setup and the 50% brightness on the LEDs it's not an RGB though in order to keep the power consumption as low as possible it does only come in a blue LED right now there is a special edition kind of an ice blue that's designed to go with their Corsair 1 but this right here is the and I always forget the name of this this is the dart core RGB and there's also an RGB se Mouse these are Wireless mice they've got 2.4 gigahertz band that it communicates with its own dongle now in terms of response time because gamers obviously care about response time on the mouse it's a 1 millisecond response time on both its wireless dongle and when it's wired and on bluetooth it's about 7 milliseconds so that makes it perfect for if you're connecting it to a laptop or something just for you know the sake of using it as a wireless mouse but if you want to get real serious use the dongle you get your one millisecond response time now there's also the SE which will charge on the Qi which is the MM 1000 mouse pad which is kind of a multi-function it's got USB pass-through it's a even got wireless charging capabilities up in the corner you move the mouse off to the side when you're not using it it charges through the mouse pad no plugs required but the cool thing is there's also some adapters that you can use to plug into your your personal wireless devices either Android or even Apple similar to the the wire the early NFC wireless stuff that we saw a few years back where you can set your device on the mousepad as well and charge that while you're gaming during your work or whatever so this is this is a really neat solution here for if you're looking at having your wireless peripherals either no htpc environment or just wireless gaming that's obviously not everything that Corsair has to show it the suite just a couple of things that I found really interesting to learn more guys head over to Corsair comm as always a huge thank you to our sponsor for the show EVGA check out what they've got going on here at CES 2018 we're gonna go see what else we can find as always guys thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next one
