Top 5 Gaming Desktops at the Intel Booth - PAX East 2015

2015-03-09
to the HyperX YouTube channel for sending us here this year that's youtube.com slash Kingston HyperX also thank you to Linda calm and phantom glass welcome to the Intel booth at PAX East 2015 what we're going to be doing here today is a top 5 om system showdown so I've gone through all the crazy amount of systems here and picked five top systems for usually fairly unique reasons the first one we're gonna start with is NCIX PC we got to give them a shout outs they're our buddies from back home this system is named the rogue x4 ROG and x99 and it's a 5820k init duel 9 ATS a 730 series intel SSD 16 gigs of ram and a one terabyte hard drive the water cooling system in this machine is called a turbo hydro it's got a pump dual radiators a whole bunch of different fittings but my favorite part is the quick disconnects if you had any reason to swap all the graphics cards if they failed if you want to do an upgrade if you wanted to put them in different system whatever it is you'd be able to take these graphics cards out using the quick disconnects to easily do that put the quick disconnects back together without the graphics cards and be able to run your system totally fine which is a sweet feature it's not hard piping hard piping is super cool and looks great but this is going to be easier to work with in the long run as you can see here these are Poseidon cards I might have mentioned that earlier usually NCIX PC would be installing ek water blocks on their cards but they just wanted to show how they can configure Poseidon cards for you if you wanted them you can pick pretty much whatever the heck you want in their systems and they'll do whatever for you they can even put automotive grade carbon fibre on pretty much any pc1 as you can see here one of the tubing runs has carbon fibre on it that was Ivan's nice little addition but you can do pretty much whatever you want just contact them and they'll help you configure whatever you need STX pcs is one of only 10 companies in North America that can say that they're powered by AC species Asus puts this certification on systems that they believe are very well built and very high-performing it's just a good overall experience next up is doghouse if you haven't heard of them I don't blame you apparently they got the company name by the the man who started it when in the doghouse when his wife was kind of mad that he started a computer business I don't know how true that story is but I heard that from someone that's here so we'll see anyways there's a 59 60 X inside and Intel 730 series SSD a 1000 watt EVGA power supply and h100 eye and that's about it other than the dual 980 s for performance hardware in terms of custom work they've added a lot of purple LEDs including to the power button at the top of the case although I would have hoped that they would have done it to the hard drive activity LED as well instead of just the power button but it does look pretty cool and quite unique but the big draw for this computer is that dog house computers will do custom 3d printing for you so in this one they've done a 3d printing shroud to go to the fan at the back to help cool your motherboard a pretty unique and pretty cool system I haven't really seen very many of these so it was really cool to see it at PAX this year alright guys next up is the exotic PC executioner this has a 59 60 X dual 980 s a 480 gig Intel series 730 SSD and 16 gigs of DDR 4 RAM as you can see it's very beautifully hard piped I know I was just ragging on hard pipe a little bit when I was checking out the NZXT PC system but this could definitely be something you're looking for especially if you're not looking for rapid upgrades in the future one thing that they did here too is this is clear hard piping so it actually looks like it's solid white but that's due to the pastel nature of their actual liquid in the system the system is currently just leaved with the Corsair kit but if you wanted to get customs leaping from exotic PC that is definitely something in the offer as well one thing they can do too is metal piping if you're not down with that clear acrylic I don't know exactly what metals they can use but I know that they can do metal piping and if you want some more customization as you can see this system is lit up with LEDs you can get your system lit up with LEDs and controlled by an external controllers you can like turn the lights off when you want to go to bed or anything like that one of the bigger jobs for the system as well was how much it's been painted they've got an automotive grade painting solution where they can paint pretty much anything and in this system they've done up the GPU plates on the graphics cards and the actual case itself with their custom logos which looks really sick they've actually also painted the RAM I didn't notice that at first and it wasn't just the kind of Plasti Dip solution that Linus did in his build log it's actually again that automotive grade paint next up is Origin PC they have a 59 60 X 730 series SSD a 1300 watt EVGA power supply and a 3 980 s actually most of systems here are running one or two 9 80s but Origen went for 3 the CPU is cooled by a triple radiator in the Trop a triple 120 millimeter radiator in the top which also has their own custom logo on the block other than customs leaving there actually wasn't a ton of like mods done to this case but they made it into my showdown just because of how badass the actual case is as you can see in this situation they've rotated their motherboards something super unique up in the front they've got that really sick hard drive cage that they have in all of these cases which is just a really nice adder that you don't see in a lot of these cases so if you're looking into something which isn't necessarily too crazy this system can go for you but origen off also offers a ton of modifications if you go for one of their other tier systems and last but definitely not least in performance or price is the main gear forced Superstock in its current configuration as a 59 60 X dual nine 80s on a deluxe board with 32 gigs of RAM and a 1200 watt corsair power supply and naturally it also has 730 series SSDs for storage but any of this stuff is configurable you could get more larger 730 series SSDs you get more graphics cards this case obviously supports up to quad graphics cards pretty much whatever you want the parallelized dual pump water cooling system on this thing is nothing short of insanity there's 85 fittings that's enough fittings to easily cool 8 different systems if you had to use them individually but they use all these 85 fittings to do a lot of really cool things there's a really easy access drain port it looks generally beautiful throughout the entire thing but something to remember is that just those 85 fittings alone will be around a grand but if you're going for a 4 super stock price probably isn't a large object for you so I'm just going to move on from there it has a triple 140 millimeter radiator in the top and a quad 120 millimeter radiator in the bottom to go along with all that nice fancy water going to help justify the cost of the system there's an insane level of detail if you have a very specific color that you need all your logos to be they can match that with their wire comb since they make them in-house and they'll even color coordinate everything all the way down to the exact Zab straps that are all throughout the system alright guys thanks for watching be sure to check out youtube.com
