so I'm pitching to Brandon I'm like this is gonna be a case unboxing it's gonna be like exciting you're gonna be excited look at this it's one case but it comes in two gigantic not to mention very heavy boxes he's like now I've seen that before with the HAF stacker it was terrible yeah that was terrible but but but no this time it's gonna be different this is the case Labs thw 10 a massive chassis for a project get to that leader for a project that I've had on the go for several months now and attempt to take seven gamers one CPU and make it productive six 8k video editing stations running off of a single motherboard and for that I needed a case that was pretty unique so let's open it up and make sure that everything private Internet access VPN is fast affordable and available now at the link in the video description so step number one here is figuring out how old the dental to open this thing well that explains why it didn't come off this is like it's a it's a it's an odd sized case so this is actually two case boxes one put down on top of the other and they don't fit all the way I can do this I'm a professional and boxer Brandon second person my ass wow this thing is really big I guess while I open it up I should explain so once it's finished this system is going to have 228 core CPUs which is why it needs such a large motherboard tray so we're gonna be using a SSI EB sized motherboard so that doesn't fit in just your standard ATX case then much of the rest of the case is gonna be taken up by radiators because the finished system is actually going to have six high-end graphics cards if I can get my way they're gonna be quad rows which would put this system somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 to $100,000 but when you consider how much a you know professional workstation with a xeon cpu and a quadrille graphics card costs in the first place 64 gigs of ram and all that good stuff for six of them in one tower it's not that far off is it oh wow from just looking at the one side panel you clearly did not get a sense of the full scope of this monster I'm a professional and boxer Brandon so back to why we need all that space so we've got this giant motherboard we've got all these graphics cards we need cooling so there's gonna be I don't remember how many but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of like 8 radiators to make sure that our dual CPUs and six graphics cards will all be adequately cooled then things get really interesting because you can see back here we've got almost as much space for Hardware behind the motherboard tray so there's not going to be really any graphics cards here or anything as we do on the other side and I have big plans for this so I've been doing some experimenting with a really unorthodox storage solution so have a look at these these are you dot two two PCI Express x 4 slot adapters so I was concerned that because I was going to be filling up all of my PCI Express slots with graphics cards that I was gonna have to get down to single slots somehow I wasn't gonna have any way to put sufficiently high speed storage in the machine because these are professional workstations I want every boot drive to be super fast so what I wanted to do was take the 4 u dot 2 slots here that's a really unique feature of this board and connect them to obtain memory drives however the standard two and a half inch u dot to form factor at the time I was playing the project anyway didn't have capacities that were high enough for me to have enough space for 6 VMs to have a decent sized boot drive so I figured okay here's a solution we adapt them to PCI Express slots so my intention is actually to use a bunch of the space back here to mount these adapters from micro SATA cables and somehow or other like call like that or something I don't know so that I can have full-sized PCI Express obtain drives these 750 series are just here for testing purposes then it gets even more interesting I haven't actually even done a test fit for this yet but there's a company that makes a PCI Express 16 X like it just plugs into a slot 2 8 x slot adapter using a bunch of PL x chips so what I was kind of hoping when I saw that is that I could put all of those over here somehow somewhere and then every VM could have its own USB card dedicated to it so that it could have full plug-and-play now that we've got the skeleton open we can go ahead and peek behind door number 2 so case labs cases are like quite modular so you get all these like pieces and you kind of screw them together yourself that also allows them to have a lot of different options so if you were the kind of person who isn't living in 2018 and once you know a lot of five and a quarter inch bays in the front or whatever then you wouldn't go for these like full sized or nearly full size we've got one five and a quarter inch bay up there on each side with grille fronts this is all just mounting hardware in case accessories holy crap okay feeder on so let's start popping some panels on this thing we've got the dual ventilated top panel so all the side panels which are tempered glass by the way I have now checked I actually don't know what I'm more excited for at this point doing the finished build or just getting my stuff off of this horrible test bench for the rest of my testing you know maybe you guys can let me know for a build like this do you prefer you know legit workstation hardware just to look legit and workstation or do you look at an expensive machine that I mean let's face it we are gonna game on it and see those bare green Ram PCBs and go yeah should we put heat spreaders over those just get some aftermarket ones I want to know so even though this motherboard Dwarfs a normal board it still looks tiny in here I don't think this system is going to be movable by a single person it looks so lonely so that's pretty much it let's take it upstairs okay be fine gert I'll do that door opening plan here we go no no make me move sorry not meaning to be rude but just okay what have I unused all right Joanna grab an end I don't feel like doing this on my own anymore okay ready and one two three hopefully this thing still works wait I didn't plug in the SATA cable that is going to power all the drives so we're gonna shut this down but that's okay that's the end of the unboxing of the thw 10 hope you guys enjoyed it and stay tuned because there are going to be more updates on this project for sure there's gonna be some crazy hardware that we are using in it and speaking of being crazy you'd have to be crazy not to drive p.i a private Internet access is the VPN that lets you do well all the things that you would expect a VPN to be able to do it keeps you more secure and more private online and allows you to get around pesky geo restrictions when you are on the move or when you are at home accessing services and tools that you otherwise wouldn't be able to I've been using it for quite some time now myself and those feeds have been more than satisfactory so go check it out at the link in the video description thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video you can hit that
