Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by NCI XCOM your source for great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western Digital we're kicking things off here in the cooler master suite with the elite 110 so if you've seen their Elite Series cases before then you'll probably have some idea what to expect except this one takes the concept of a super super small no compromises gaming rig and makes it well super small and really not that many compromises so let's have a look at what we got in here you can see there's the obvious stuff so it takes a mini ITX motherboard so it's usually 2 DIMM slots and then you're gonna have a maximum of one graphics card in a single PCI Express 16x slot a they've added a full-size ATX power supply so you can actually put even quite a long power supply in here and you'll have a fair bit of space as long as you don't also have a liquid cooling radiator so they've gone with a V 550 which is more of a normal-sized power supply and then they've actually got room for a single 120 millimeter liquid cooling radiator for the CPU down below there's also a little bit of space in between them for cable management although you wouldn't want to make things too dense in there in order to avoid restricting your airflow to the point where it's detrimental to the system in terms of Drive mounting options around on the other side we find either two two and a half inch drive mounts or a single three and a half inch drive mount then there's actually a cage for the top that can support up to an additional two two and a half inch SSDs now we can see the graphics card in there so this is going to be optimized for your sort of your mini ITX designed graphics card so MSI for example has an upcoming gtx 760 that is about the same length as a mini ITX motherboard which would be a great option for this so are you building you know a dual Titan rig and something that's the size of a couple of shoeboxes no but are you putting a very reasonable gaming system in here the answer is yes next up we've got the Nova touch tkl and the way that they are branding this is japanese-made a hybrid electrostatic capacitive switches however anyone worth their salt when it comes to keyboard knowledge is going to take a key cap off this bad boy and go oh these are tourists so for those of you who have been begging cool master to bring a Tofurky board to market your answers or your answers have now been prayer yes that is the opposite your prayers have now been answered they have just this model coming for now although I wouldn't be surprised to see something like a full length with a number-pad and you know who knows what other kinds of options we might see in the future but one really key thing about this that stands out to me is the fact that they are customizing the tofurkey switches to make them compatible with Cherokee caps so if you're really into the whole key cap modding scene you've got a particular set of key caps that you like and you want to move it onto your new keyboard you want to get Topher's this is going to be a fantastic option for you next up and to round things out we have the AL core and the Mizar so our Mays Mizar maser Mizar anyway the point is these are two mice that have a very iconic shape to them and we're gonna get some great footage of these and I would love for you guys to guess under the video what Mouse you think the ergonomics of these mice most closely resembles because that might get you pretty excited about the shape of them there are two different options of pretty much a similar product so they both have rubber rubbery grippy sort of sides they're both optimized for palm or claw or depending on how you want to hold it whatever you want kind of a hybrid grip and they the main difference between them is they have two different sensors so they both got RGB lighting you can change them to whatever you want but the Alcor has a 4000 dpi Avago 3090 sensor so that's the one that's pretty well regarded for not having any acceleration issues or anything like that and then for the lead hacks or gamers actually this one has better rubberized grips than the out course or excuse me these are these are quite soft and grippy and this one also gets an 8200 dpi laser sensor so that gives you a little bit more compatibility with different surfaces but of course whether people prefer optical or laser is something that it is a hotly debated and definitely not something that is within the scope of this video guys don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage remember our trip to the show is sponsored by NCI XCOM your source for great technology selection and service and of course our other sponsors our Corsair memory and Western Digital huge thanks to those guys as well because without all of the there's no way we'd be able to be here bringing you guys this content
