Unboxing a $9500 Custom Computer...

2018-12-05
okay guys this is the digital storm event 'im this is their top-of-the-line custom water-cooled completely configurable 175 pound box that you feel the impact of the ground well it sounds like downstairs anyway this thing's 175 pounds if I thought skunkworks was heavy that one back there the great bit that is so much impact like I feel the ground shake it it's concrete today's video is sponsored by LastPass we live in a digital age everything we do is online online banking online car payments online shopping so why use a single login for everything because you can't remember your passwords anymore well LastPass is a digital encrypted online vault for your logins and your passwords it syncs across all of your devices that you log in so if you change it on one device it changes everywhere my favorite feature is the online audit it will basically audit all of your logins and let you know where your passwords are week and anywhere you have a duplicate password because that's how they get you they find your password then they try it everywhere and see if it works now I am terrible I remembering passwords and that's usually why people have duplicate passwords because they can't remember them well they've got a password generator which allows you to be able to kind of customize the complexity of that password types of custom characters to make it as difficult to guess as possible but also you don't have to remember it because it's all stored in your digital vault so stop trying to remember your passwords and pulling your hair out because you can't remember them and getting locked out of your accounts because you've guessed wrong too many times or that email you were using in the past is no longer active start securing your accounts with the LastPass by using the link in the description below one idea of how strong this box is look at this so I weight 260 ish pounds about 260 before Thanksgiving this is the Box handle breaking you know you probably should have never picked it up buy this handle to begin with series 175 pounds I don't know if that isn't British units probably like I don't know don't you guys measure in stone good something like that there's at least four boulders in here so here we go it has an ax 1200 I and leftover cables a lot of foam packing digital storm customized systems accessory box basically all the extra stuff that came with the motherboard so it's got the wireless adapters the standard sli bridge for you know non RTX cards okay so foam oh my goodness I'm gonna flip it this way and try and slide it out maybe also open the bottom of the box and like push it out thanks for watching guys we'll see you next time box 75 of the hundred and seventy-five pounds is probably the cardboard box maybe not that much but anyway filler you try to pick up one hand Oh once you tip it it's heavier suddenly oh man to make it worse sorry digital storm you're gonna have to put a new cover on this oh that's my fingers hahaha are you ready for the reveal Oh it's so big the computers pretty big too okay so this is uh oh you guys know this build just pointing a little bit of a size comparison ah look at this okay so we obviously I start by taking off the side panel and the glass is freakin heavy this it's like I'm carrying us a sliding glass window right here in fact even on the back side of the motherboard tray you can see it has fans and the distribution block that's used to make that really clean wire or tube routing that you guys can see on the front side now this is what happens when diehard enthusiasts start a an SI or a system integrator company you get stuff like this so starting on the back right here we're gonna look at a couple of things you can see we've got fans on the back side where we've got a two hundred and eighty millimeter red I think it's a two eighty red yeah that's definitely definitely ah always sticking my fingers in inside of fans anyway this is obviously the 1200 X well twelve ax 1200 I power supplied from Coursera now this is the custom built distribution plate right here because remember the tubes on the other side runs straight through this redirects it to where it needs to go we also have a 480 right up top or 360 red there's a ton of radiators in here this is the Power Distribution panel I was talking about though this has obviously power cables that run from this adapter down to the power supply this runs through the mid plate and as you can see they've got these sleeve cables that are going to both of the graphics cards right here they've got your combs on there to keep it nice and neat to RTX 28 ET is from a video with EK water blocks on there we also have a clear bridge right here for those blocks that you can actually see the coolant this is a clear coolant and then obviously the color scheme they have on this one is more of a bronzey gold color we've got gold fittings on here I believe these are bits power could be wrong they look like bits power rigid tube and it's all plumbed into the distribution panel that goes onto the back like I said so you've got these cross or pass-through fittings that go onto the distribution block on the back and then these can be ran obviously very straight and very tidy so this the ekx rez right here the same ones I have in skunk works actually I love these they don't even sell these anymore so they must have bought up a whole bunch of them or they're still making them just for digital storm 250 millimeter reservoir this looks like a gold digital storm label block I know who makes this block though and you can see we have two sticks of g.skill ddr4 now this is a ninety nine hundred K it is overclocked so components wise they really are off the shelf what really makes this system unique is the amount of custom work they put into the chassis as I mentioned this chassis is only built for them so the front fans blow directly on your storage options which as you can see you've got one two three four five six seven eight that can go in there looks like you do more right here if you remove this yes they are hot swappable so you switch that lift that little slide up and you can put it in there so on the bottom it's very similar to how I have skunkworks setup this is a five sixty radiator which means we have four 140 millimeter fans it appears to be about forty five millimeters thick again I don't know who the brand is for well I'm always sticking my fingers in inside of fans I don't know who the brand is for this but what I can see down in there is the bottom basement is soft tubing which is I guess nice that way you can easily move it in and out having had skunkworks be all rigid tube down there it can be kind of a pain in the butt trying to get to those what I think could have been nicer personally it's do like I did on skunk works a very similar setup flip these fans around so the air is coming in and then these are exhausting it and it just goes straight through that's exactly how my skunk works is set up but what do I know I am NOT digital storm so it's going to fire it up and see what the clock speeds and stuff are out of the box because this is supposed to be overclocked let's go ahead and run Cinebench and see what our temperatures are like and what our clock speeds are like Oh 4.7 but they're hitting 59 61 50 60 so about 10 12 degrees cooler than my small form-factor build so I went ahead and push the overclock to 5 gigahertz which is pretty much possible for just about every 9900 K in fact the turbo boosts on an onion 100k on one core is five diggers we applied it to all the cores up the voltage a little bit and also updated up the RAM speed to 3,600 up from 3000 temperatures are amazing though 70 on the package all the cores are in the 60s one core hit 71 and a 2088 so yeah that's obviously this cooling system can handle much more but because it's not my computer I'm not going to push it too much farther and we will do a test after where we put the side panels back on to check for airflow because obviously with the solid panel right here I'm curious as to what the airflow situation would be there so our temperatures have pretty much stopped climbing at 50 C on the main card it will drop down to about 47 C on certain scenes but 50 is where it maxes out we think a lot that has to do with the fact that there's not a lot of space between the glass and these fans which means I mean this is still perfectly reasonable though in terms of temperatures and not the coldest you can get on water but the 2080 ti does run warm we've tested that on water before it's certainly a warm card there's also the 360 right on the top and the 280 red on the bottom as well so we are still getting decent temperatures considering the fact we have so much radiator space in this if you took the side panel off the temperatures would come down a little bit because you have such a massive radiator and then it can get way more airflow so this is one of those where the design choice was kind of more aesthetic rather than being a hundred percent functional I think there's no denying though that it's certainly beautiful looking but all that RGB goodness in there and the fans turning and doing their thing and all the hard line loops and stuff so I mean 50 C though that is what 34 see below where the what 84 degrees is where the factory fan curve is if this had been an air-cooled system so the digital storm event MX has definitely been a flagship of theirs for quite a while you can order it and pretty much any CPU configuration that you want this it's got thread ripper rise in ninth gen obviously as you can see X 299 and what really what this is a showcase of what happens like I said when PC build enthusiasts start a company and start building the craziest pcs that they can available to the public people ask me all the time if they can buy pcs from me because the custom stuff they see like skunkworks and all that and although unfortunately I do not sell to the public this is one of those things where you could have a system that's even better than something I can build because of the manufacturing process of governments like the the power passed through on the motherboard tray that is something that it it makes servicing a system like this extremely easy it makes wire management obviously extremely tidy the pass throughs on the ridgid tubing this is available in soft tubing as well but this is obviously the rigid tubing model you've got the distribution blocks at the top and on the back you've got extreme detail even in the paint job this custom paint job has a like a Perla Desson flake in it the list just goes on and on the massive tempered glass side panels which are probably amongst the heaviest pieces of glass I've held before so you guys can find out more though about the events of x-series as well as the other CPU towers that digital storm makes they also make laptops you guys recall I did a laptop video a while back that's still my gaming laptop that I use to this day you guys can check out that video down the description below as well but yeah this one as outfitted is about $9,500 which is a just extremely premium when it comes to building a computer but that's because of the amount of work that goes into the chassis and all the custom configuration not just the components of course there's the labor to put it together the warranty and all of that stuff and I'm proud and happy to say that it arrived undamaged because of the shipping method that they use as well and obviously all the soft foam material in there to make it travel safely so guys check the link in the description below you guys can learn more about the event on X and yeah as always guys thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next one this is one of those things like you just don't even want to touch it because it's just pretty
