MAINGEAR Shift Supercomputer: Part 1!

2015-06-30
hey what is up guys I'm Ken Bhd here and right now I ate all of my videos on one of these I think it's time to give an upgrade a shot this is the main gear shift computer or the mkbhd Edition main gear shift and these are my first impressions of it now I actually wanted to wait till I had a little more space in a new place to set it up and actually hook it up to my main setup but I couldn't really resist getting out the box and checking it out first so the main gear shift is essentially a custom pre-built computer to spec so you pick all the parts to pick all the specs and then the guys that main gear put it together for you but it is a little more impressive than just that because anyone can put together a computer as we know it's not that impossible to build a machine yourself but it is pretty hard to build a machine that looks like this so I plan on giving it a shot as the main brains of my setup and using it full-time basically so this is just the first video I'm making on a couple of videos that I plan on making about the experience with this computer as they happen so this first one is just a first impressions video maybe let me know what you guys are thinking you want to see in the other videos in the comments section below whether it's exploring the video editing prowess of a machine like this or gaming I'm sure is something that people want to see I don't gain much but I can try stuff out or maybe it's just dropping Windows 10 on this guy and seeing how it compares to the Mac Pro that I've used for a while now something you've probably noticed by now if you've seen a lot of computers with an open side before is the layout of this case is a little bit rotated versus your normal computer layout your ports are not on the front and they're not on the back they're all on the top so of course you do have a little pop-up section here to give you access to normal some frequently access ports but taking off the sides will explain this a little bit better the entire inside of the main gear shift is rotated 90 degrees compared to a normal computer so the motherboard the graphics cards everything is turned sideways so the machine takes in cool air from the bottom and the side and pushes hot air out the top and so since hot air rises that process is helped out naturally by physics and it's more efficient and it puts all of your ports now on the top of the computer so you don't have to reach around the back anymore if you want to unplug something or plug something in and there are a ton of port you can see by this board 12 USB ports on the top here alone most of them USB 3 and the graphics cards will do multiple outputs as well so the specs since I know that's a curious easy thing to just go down the list and tell you guys what's inside this machine inside it's rockin an Asus x99 deluxe motherboard and Intel Core i7 59 60 X so an octa-core CPU overclock to 4.5 gigahertz so 4.5 gigahertz at 8 cores 32 gigs of Corsair ddr4 Ram should be really fast and to nvidia geforce 980ti also an 800 60 watt modular power supply down here in the bottom and 3 256 gig SSDs in raid zero for insane speed plus a 4 terabyte internal drive for storage so that's a pretty dope list of specs but there are still the differences between building that set of specs for yourself in your own computer versus buying this main gear built computer first of all a paint job like no other this is a custom case and the red and black and white paint everywhere is super high quality and it's applied believe it or not with the same process as a car is painted so actually when he took it out the box it had a faint sort of new car smell with that fresh paint and the logo on the side is of course also custom that's what really solidifies it as an mkbhd edition version of the main gear shift and that's the kind of thing that would take many hours of work in an off-the-shelf case if you want to do something like that also since the professional builds it cable management from the gods of custom pcs I mean this is beautifully done cable ties in all the right places the modular power supply and everything sitting neat and tidy tucked away where it should be and also allows for maximum airflow it's beautiful inside you also get a couple of other things like this binder which has a build log and a checklist of the 55 point inspection it passed to even get shipped to you a signature and the contact info of your builder and even proof that it passed an overnight burnin tests and a few benchmarks spoiler alert this thing drops nearly 32,000 points on Geekbench 64-bit multi-core it's kind of a boss so this thing is legit from top to bottom even has a little multicolored LED light strip on the inside by the window with a remote control so you can control all the way the lights look without ever opening up the case and all these sorts of things all the things the little things that make the main gearshift different from something that you would build yourself will be explored in future videos so can you build something like this for less technically since these are mostly off-the-shelf parts yeah you could get that done but it will look nothing like the shift so thanks for watching this video number one of my experience with this PC and stay tuned for video number two and all the other stuff come to this channel thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys the next one peace
