hello I'm spikes and I'm at PDX land and it smells like it smells like Domino's Pizza intensity and us and sweat and it's great it's a great Musk it's coming out summer 2015 it's cold PDX sent by Jerry violently now back to you Jay audio equipment for PDX land was provided by Sennheiser check out the stuff that I was using in the links down in the description hey sure is that a fat joke hey what's up guys Jays two cents here we were at PDX land here in well Portland and this is actually my first land of it it is pretty freakin cool we got over five hundred systems here most of which are custom and most of which unfortunately make skunkworks look like chump works but anyway I digress so let's go ahead and come on in at PDX land and let's see what is going on this year so if you guys have been watching my live stream on Twitch here at PDX LAN you've noticed that my HyperX cloud choose do not have these stock ear cups on there and that's because we are here with edge pro gaming and they make custom ear cups for pretty much any headset on the market and if you guys don't have that particular headset you probably have something that'll fit anyway so tell tell us about the technology and your ear cups and why would anyone want it yeah you bet so what we do is we make ear cushions like you say for just about every headset out there the materials that we use are really cutting-edge we've been making these for over 20 years but the materials are like conformal foam it's space-age stuff super comfortable evens out the pressure really well around your ears the great thing too is when I was wearing them they're there so noise isolation that I I couldn't even hear Jerry and that was great you guys have no idea how much I would pay for that so well but no you guys you guys did like avionics headsets and things too right loud engines and so the pilots have to be able to isolate the environment so they can hear radio communications that's correct we've been working in aviation now for about 25 years and thankfully almost all the parts that we use for aviation work on gaming headsets it's what as well so we didn't have to reinvent the wheel and you know we have the top cushions made with sheepskin and leather they're super comfortable we have the cushions that's important that's important in Atlanta they you got to protect the butt these things are amazing we all sit on these in our office chairs as well so they're and I can see this also too if you've got kids that play like football t-ball or have taken cinnamon on the bleachers that's absolutely right awesome all right guys so you can check them out over at WWH pro-gaming comm and you can see what they've got really cool stuff and I'm telling you they're more comfortable the base is improved in the headset it just took everything about the headset that I loved it enhanced the sound even more so there you go guys thanks for talking with us we're go ahead and get lost here a little bit more in PDX ok so if you guys follow barnacles nerdgasm and all on youtube you know he has recently sold his soul for a high-end Puget System now Puget systems is here they're one of the sponsors here at PDX land and they've got some stuff on demonstration including an oculus rift dk2 on a racing simulator which is a lot of fun unfortunately makes me sick and dizzy so just kind of a quick rundown about what is you're showing here and who you guys are well Peters systems is a local system integrator out of Auburn Washington just south of Seattle and we have a some toys to share with everyone we have a couple of oculus rifts but we actually brought a couple of our workstations that we sell here I mean it's way too much power for the oculus rift but we just wanted to kind of showcase what we do it's also way too much power for what you gave Jerry just saying he yeah you know he does real good on minecraft with that and minesweeper now also too I just want to give a huge thank you to you guys because you guys did give me a system to use while I was here I've been streaming on that system that small little ITX build tiny little slim case my god I think it's powerful for what it is yeah we really we really like building we have one right behind us here and we called her an echo three and we put a 980 in yours for this weekend I know it was that stock speed and then I overclocked it so hope you guys don't mind but I did overclock it a little bit and no it's holed up great I mean 4790k in there 16 gigs of ram SSD 500 gig SSDs 980 overclocked you guys even use a ribbon cable on that to move the GPU so it's away from the CPU and the board's you get proper airflow fans that blow directly on that's a really well-thought-out so something so Chris thanks for talking with us today and we're gonna go ahead and see what else we got here at PDX all right so we've wandered over here to the case labs booth here at PDX and we have something extremely rare here and that is somebody taller than me no guys we're here talking about their brand new x2 line of cases now we've talked about this for a while kind of like off the record and I expected there to be a next nut sorry next to case I don't expect there to be three of them so why do we have three well we kind of sprung that out one of the things we wanted to do was to be able you know we always have products with groups of families always have you know M a.m. 10 th 10 with Merlin line we have the s m5 s mas c 10 the same thing with SMA 800 SMA a never get that ones to end yes of course you were billed so with this one we wanted to originally started out with the x2 wanted to keep something that was really small really compact kind of more focusing on all the one coolers with that being said we also didn't want to eliminate water cooling altogether we also thought would be a cool idea to have kind of a small server Nass kind of setup so we went out with this x2m which is actually just a little bit wider a little bit deeper right here we have some hot swap bays but it would also be really cool for water cooling as opposed to just like an all-in-one for the eksu and we also have the x5 which is just the same width and depth as the x2 but it fits an M ATX board in there so we were just trying to hit all ends on this one now what I love about these is you guys said we wanted to build a case that was much more affordable but it still had to be all aluminum because that's what you guys were about now I can tell you right now that these cases are way more affordable than something like the SMA a even when outfitted so we'll talk more about pricing and stuff when we do the review but just know that I am gonna be doing a review of this case as well as cramming as much high-end hardware as I can in there with water cooling to put their their build concept to the test so we'll be looking at that here in a few months and we're looking at something like this right here or where this right here in white so I'll talk a little bit more about that but guys the all aluminum cases here and I really want to say like what your projected pricing is I won't but trust me guys it's exciting so thanks guys for talking with us and we will definitely be talking in the future I have to sell my soul a little bit but it's worth it so there is a gaming evangelist amongst us and that being Edie is Crisler crystal Crisler I was once a Chrysler I don't know why I like you everybody does my nickname in the Navy was Mopar just because nobody would pronounce the last name right I get it no I just thought you were really into dodge no okay so if you guys don't know Edie is actually one of the reps here for sapphire but that's kind of takes a backseat to what he's really here for and that is for his evangelist attitude towards gaming as a whole especially PC gaming Atlanta events like this so tell me what why you're here and what you're all about I couldn't ignore that photobomb well why I'm here obviously is for sapphire technologies and we are really really wanting to make a push for PC gamers it's time to get serious about PC gaming and let's face it when you're dealing with cards like the like the 270 280 290 that's what they're meant for is PC gaming so you mean they're not for doorstops no they're not for doorstops and despite what Logan believes they are not for coasters so I get to come to these events we give away some prizes we talk about PC gaming in general we get to spread the word that we are what we're part of the community we're just like everybody else we love the game we love to be involved with it and it's our opportunity to do so it's important to also mention that sapphire is a sponsor for this event yes we're sponsor for this event and for 14 other LAN events this year that I know of currently now let me tell you guys why I love edy there's two reasons I got to meet him in person at CES for the first time we only conversed through email before that and I immediately recognized you were more about the community necessarily than you were the brand at first like I mean obviously you're sapphire but you were like gaming community is what you're all about and that's what you're bringing a sapphire I have a really simple philosophy it applies in business and applies for this as well when you're part of something if the hole does well the individual parts do well that's and that's what I've said many times on the stream why everybody needs to survive in this community the other thing is he got me playing plants vs. zombies garden warfare which Paul I am at propone twitch if you guys don't know has been playing and streaming and it looked like fun I just never bothered downloading it I've been streaming that more than battlefield here and I'm a battlefield player yeah I did this to Richard honey to Richard huddie had never played it was a huge battlefield for player love battlefield 4 and now every time I see him online he's playing plants vs. zombies and now the last reason why I really really love Ed is the fact that you guys say I don't do enough AMD reviews especially of graphics cards even though I've done every AMD tier of graphics card there is on the market edy has graciously sent over three graphics cards for review the first one being the r7 260x which is definitely a more mainstream entry level anyone could really afford it they say get into piecing gaming the 285 ITX yes the only I TX 285 on the market that's correct and then the 290x try try try x8 gigabyte card that we're really gonna put that to the test with like Skyrim with mods and things like that yeah it's a really neat card it's it's kind of a niche market card but what we did was is we had our eight gig vapor-x which actually was much more successful than I believed it would be because its niche market so kind of for the people that want to do more than gaming they want to do the direct compute applications that will use that 8 gig buffer but the price was a little high so we got rid of the vapor chamber went down to a standard heat pipe cooler with triple fan we're able to reduce the price and we're gonna be putting that all to the test trust me on the channel we're gonna save some surprises for the channel but if you guys you're watching this obviously after the effect but I've been live-streaming with Edie all weekend playing plants vs. zombies so you can go watch a replay of that Edie thank you very much for talking with us today cannot wait to do those reviews and we're gonna go play some games now guys so it's time for you all to leave so get the hell out
