okay so I'm hanging out here in the iBUYPOWER suite and they've actually got something pretty cool on display that I wanted to show you guys so this is the Erebus they've got a video playing behind me on sort of a makeshift projector screen there's no some of the cool features but since we have the benefit of having one here in person we can actually just check out what's going on right down and dirty in the system so here we have okay I'm bear with me here because this is gonna take a while it's a very high number we have one two three four radiators in the system so that is three dual rads and 1 quadruple rad up in the top of the system so they have completely over built this case in terms of the water cooling potential that it can handle now not only can you mount all those radiators but you have tons of room for whatever other hardware you could possibly want to throw at it so for one thing you can handle a very long power supply okay for the next thing you can handle up to up to six hard drives and I'm gonna go ahead and assume that like their other sliding rails these are two and a half inch ready and if someone can this is a very early prototype so I'm just gonna go ahead yeah there's a mounting hole there so we've got no problems they're up to four five and a quarter inch base so this is gonna be designed for system integration which means that a lot of those customers are gonna want not only a reader and a writer but maybe also a fan controller and since you don't have to worry about how to hook all that stuff up their technicians are gonna do it for you then I have I have no problem with seeing that number five and a quarter inch base on a case like this because they can make sure that that's all taken care of we've got a very high end completely custom cooling solution here so we're running coolants radiators cool ads quick connects we've got a Lang pump so they've really gone a step beyond using cookie cutter water cooling components they're using the ones that are actually designed to last a long time Lang pumps are number one pretty much I have a leg pump running in my system I've had for over three years non-stop and there are countless countless stories like that this is actually the d5 I believe what else do we have here to talk about so we got some air fans which falls in line with the color scheme that they're using you've got I actually don't know what motherboard this is but it looks like one of the one two three four five six literally seven expansion slots and that particular board although oh no no yep this is their this is the UD seven so this is an x58 motherboard so we've got support for triple channel memory core i7 extreme six core processors and they've not only water-cooled so let's look at everything we've water-cooled in this system the CPU and three graphics cards in 3-way SLI but they've also water cooling cooled the MOSFETs on this board and they are using an ek water block for that - like I said fully custom fully awesome components not nothing that's off the shelf and then what are we using it looks like we're using coolant blocks on the GPUs now you've got this is a full cover motherboard water blocks so you've got not only the MOSFETs cool but also the Northbridge and the self bridge if you want to come down here and look right down there you can actually see that it is almost completely covered in liquid cooled metal we're using compression fittings which I am a big fan of because it's very very difficult to lose your seal of compression fitting even over time and they're using 90 degree fittings in order to really keep and even some 45 degree fittings that's that's a nice touch down there to keep the tubing flow from from kinking and keep from having any issues with that particular aspect of it so thank you to my makeshift cameraman here so that I can show you the Erebus and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips
