- tech tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner is NCI XCOM hey guys we're here at the an Tech booth just checking out their 1900 this thing is massive it's so big it has a big basement at the bottom with all the hard drive options one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve is I think that's correct twelve plus an SSDs squeeze tray this one and while these are to list this one is seriously to list because you just push the SSD in there or two and a half inch hard drive and it will squeeze it in place you don't actually have to even screw it into a removable tray like this which is very cool now you might notice a few other things that I have here I'm going to continue on the case soon but first I want to go over their pump I'm gonna let you guys wonder what the heck is going on here for a second while I put it in the top and show you how much space is actually in this case so as you can see the radiator just kind of disappears because there's an inset in the top where you can actually have radiators or fans and they kind of disappear in the case which is very cool now to explain what the heck is going on with this guy not quite yet we're gonna jump down here just to troll you guys a little bit this light right here as you can see is not on but while it's in your case will be representative of the temperature of your CPU so it's white if there's nothing really going on and it's red if your CPU is about to explode which is nice because if you have a window on your case like the 1900 you can constantly see if you're gonna have any problems I know some people don't have monitoring running while they're in games or other things so that could help you now to explain why this is so small and to explain why this is so big they have moved the pump from on top of the CPU block and moved it to on top of the fans as you can see there's water cooling tubing running to these individual pumps I wanted to show you this one especially because they have dual pumps this is going to be very interesting I haven't seen anything like this before and I want to see how it performs although it's not set up here I'm going to be getting a sample at some point and we will test it on our thermal test bench this thing is very very cool it's cool to see an tech innovating in this style and I'm very very happy to see that they've done this now this is going to be a feat of victory if b-roll can actually find this but in there you can see there's some hard fins that actually helps tunnel the air I hope we can get this that actually helps tunnel the air so that goes through a column through the radiator as many of you may know static pressure is very important for pushing air through fans and that will help your overall static pressure very very cool thing they've done here other than that that's pretty much it for the cooler so I'm gonna move on sorry about that guys we got cut off there now you might notice that I have two power supplies in the system these are at different wattages but they're still totally works these are OC link capable power supplies and with this rubber grommet here they are perfect perfect for this demonstration this case works great for it these with OC link you can link two power supplies together and get the power of additional wattage and redundancy at the same time so if you have both these power supplies in your system while that may be a little bit ridiculous you can actually feed everything to your computer so you can have the combined wattage of both those systems which is insane I don't know anyone literally I don't know anyone who will use that much wattage but to have those options is kind of cool and that shows off another feature about the case I know this is very multiple reviews all at once but the it can have two power supplies in the case now another thing if we go up you'll notice that there's green features at the back of this case also the bezel around the front is also green this green matches very very well with the green LED lighting on 780 and and stock 770's as well as Titan so if you have a stock cooler on any of those cards this case will go incredibly incredibly well with it they're thinking about releasing other color options for this case that will be aftermarket so you can replace the stuff in it like these the rubber grommets not rubber grommets the the things that you put your screws through I can't think of it right now but it's not a big deal right here to just have it color code with your case so that and the front we're just gonna scoot over to the front here real quick right over here b-roll to the front of the case there we go you can change this as well potentially they're not sure if they're gonna do that yet now just to cover the front of the case there's very beefy power and reset buttons which are nice to see so you won't accidentally press it for USB 3.0 front audio headers and 2 USB 2.0 this case is huge these power supplies are awesome and this cooler is very innovative now we're going to bounce back here something completely new this is the Antec HCP Platinum grid this brings digital power to the anti-gay CCTV Platinum lineup so if we pull up here you can see this is their UI that they're going to be releasing it's in very very very early beta potentially alpha he said beta but I'm thinking this is more alpha considering many parts of it don't actually work so I'm not going to demo it but this is what it's going to look like it will be ready when this power supply is actually released which if I remember correctly it's going to be somewhere around q4 but this thing is great I love digital power I love being able to view you eyes on my computer of what my power supply is doing mainly because of this right here I love being able to see what efficiency my power supply is currently running at power supplies for the longest time have been fairly ignored for monitoring as they have been hard to monitor but now with with header plugs on the power supply that go-to USB headers on the motherboard you can view what's actually going on with your power supply this is awesome thank you for watching this and thank you for watching all of our Computex content if you want to see more be
