NCIX PC Vesta R1 Special Edition Finished System Showcase Linus Tech Tips

2011-03-11
so this is it it's finally done guys this is what we envision so this is the completed Vesta our one this particular system will get serial number one when somebody purchases it once these systems are released and so I'm just going to take you guys on a total tour if you've watched all of the videos on the creation of the best r1 then you already know most of the steps that we went through here but I'm just gonna walk you guys through it one more time just for good measure so this is the corsair obsidian 650d case we have our LG blu-ray writer here in the front okay so the front of the case we've left all of the parts that use the nice metallic brushed finish and then we've actually painted all of the parts that do not use a brushed finish so this front fan grille is painted red and it actually has a it's a completely cleanable fangirl okay so then you've got access to your front fan so I'm gonna go ahead and put that back on for now alright and then let's go around to the side so we've gone with a striking Radeon red for this system because of the video card that it is being released alongside so I'm gonna go ahead and take this off so you can see the automotive paint finish is very very shiny and I'm just gonna go ahead and do the obligatory finger shot thing here so that you can guys can see just how reflective that red is okay so I want to show you the overall specs so this video card right here this is why we release the system there aren't a whole lot of these cards out there right now they're very limited supply so we are only building five of these systems with it but is this is the sixty nine ninety so you can see here there's two back plates so that means we've got two GPUs on this graphics card those are 268 70s are 69 70s rather by the time we ship the system because all of these vest r1 systems all five of them are going to be pre overclock the CPU is going to be at 4.4 gigahertz and we are going to be flipping the BIOS which and validating each of the 69 90s at the fall 880 megahertz clock speed so you'll get the max performance so we've also got a gigabyte p67 au d7 that is a b3 board so it is a corrected p67 board without the chipset buck and we have eight gigs of corsair dominator GT memory which looks absolutely fantastic if I do say so myself inside the completed system we're using a corsair h 70 liquid cooler and it is it has custom NCIX black and red edition y8 loon fans and we've also gone with those same fans in the roof of the case replacing the stock fan now let me just see if there's anything I've missed here out of the power supply so sparing no expense obviously on a system like this we've got an ax 850 watt that is an 80 plus gold power supply powering the whole thing so this thing isn't even going to break a sweat powering a system like this and finally for the boot drive pool and you know what I actually can't pull it out because it's plugged in but we have a Corsair performance 3 that is a SATA 3 6 gigabit per second drive in there and then for storage we're using a Western Digital 2 terabyte black hard drive so one thing I am going to do for you guys before we wrap up here and I'm sorry that this isn't going to be a little bit more smooth but I had forgotten to do this before I started the video there we go I'm gonna plug it in and I'm gonna turn it on because we do have some red LED lighting inside the case I just want to show you this other side as well so I want you to just kind of get the angle from this side of the case and Turner can you do like top down a little bit like here right like that yeah there we go so you guys can see what the overall finished case looks like and so so yeah that's the other side panel and then finally I'm gonna put it back together this has been a labor of love by crazy Russian and myself to bring these systems to market I'll be the first to tell you guys they're not a hundred percent perfect but they are handcrafted so there's little imperfections in the paint honestly the masking the building was done by the two of us completely and I think for the price would I haven't really talked about much up till now of to 9999 it's more than reasonable it's uh it's actually a crazy good value considering the kind of hardware you're looking at and the custom nature of this particular little project so I'm going to turn off all the lights in the room just so that you can actually crazy Russian can you go turn off the the overall don't like the nor ceiling white in this room so you can see what it looks like when the internal light yeah there we go okay how's that look in the camera here let me grab the camera from you and I'm just going to so to get some close-up shots of the parts that I think are important so here's what the top grille looks like you can see you got a good glow there because the lights actually over on the other side under the case itself here so it lights up these fans really nice okay at the bottom you can see the power supply gets a fair bit of light and then also the top of the the top of the motherboard gets a fair amount of light from that top and you can't really tell in the camera it's not as good as seeing it in person but it's more of a blood-red glow and I can see it looks more orange in the camera and you also get a fair amount of glow off of the side of the video card here too so it looks just very very very cool on your desk in the dark so thank you for checking out this special edition episode of Linus tech tips don't forget to subscribe yeah let's go no no no don't
