when I was living in Japan I built a PC that featured two beastly CPUs and I use it as a workstation for quite some time however when I had to move back to Australia I found that the case and a lot of the components had to be dismantled and shipped back otherwise it would just cost more and shipping them the PC is actually worse but here we have today with a new case or should I say a new body for what is called junuh cron a PC named after a character called Unicron in 1986 Transformers the movie film which is arguably one of the best movies of all time and welcome back to tech city this is brian coming to you guys today with part one of the resurrection of june ekron now in this first part we're going to be doing the whole build and sort of giving you a look at the basic build with all the pretties on that part - I really want to showcase it and so to get some custom decals on there and really showcase the character which is based on in that Unicron but anyway instead of going through the parts list and just putting b-roll with the prices I'm going to talk about what makes this build so special on the first part here is these CPUs these are the e 526 70s they are essentially an 8 core 16 threaded CPU now the best thing about these is that they were going for around 65 USD and so you get two of these and you put them on a motherboard that can support two of these CPUs and you now have 16 cause and 32 threads for like 140 bucks even though the motherboard was about $300 so it was pretty expensive but if you can get the motherboard and the CPUs then you've just got so much processing power that's so cheap and then the second part that makes this build so good is the hundred twenty eight gigabytes of ddr3 memory we pick this up for around about a hundred and ten dollars so that's just an insane amount of memory for the money then of course we've got some other parts here like an adduce sound card really good value for money this is getting an upgrade too for the GPU we were using a GTX 970 before but now we're going to be using a 980 TI who's got the Arctic extreme cooler on it does a really awesome job two cooler master 212 they're also spray-painted white bit of a custom look there and a super flower power supply one terabyte SSD from Western Digital and a three terabyte hard drive we've also got this sent out from BitFenix this is the Shogun they wanted me to take a look at this case and when I saw that it supported the extended ATX format I decided that Unicron would be a perfect build to be resurrected in this case here the Shogun and they've also sent out some RGB LED lights as well to put in there so Gina chrome is going to be looking pretty fancy anyway let's get started with this build and we'll get to work all mine when moving through the night we just you know came within we justified outfit we got it you wanna ride till we find answers within location hold on we're gonna yeah we so there it is guys stage one of this build is finished there's still some more work to be done like adding some custom decals and maybe some other things that I'm yet to think of but the build itself is complete and doing a quick benchmark on gta5 shows this pcs weakness and that is gaming when comparing the overclocked to 980ti with this combo compared to the 7700 K for example it falls behind by quite a bit roughly 37% behind at the same setting on the same benchmark so when it comes to multi-threaded performance this thing kicks some serious tail all across the galaxy and for the money also since it has 64 gigabytes of memory and so much processing power that I can multitask and do so many things at once without having to worry about slowdown even though the 7700 K does feel a bit more snappier in the real world that there will be many more benchmarks in the final showcase of this build once they complete it and also those eBay cables were damn impressive they even came included with moveable cones and with the cheapest solution I could find so all I can say to gamer chief is well played so now I wanted to talk about the BitFenix Shogun which was sent out for a review and overall it is a very nice case building and it was however very time-consuming as I had to insert an extended ATX panel and also figure out how to make the motherboard fit firmly without having any flex so in the end I put two rubber pads on the top and bottom right corners though the cable management of the back was so easy to work with even with this extended ATX panel installed and I had no problems running cable extensions to the two CPU eight pin headers and 24 pin ATX header and with this case there was so much room for Drive to for SSDs in total and six 3.5 inch SATA drives from the bays and you can also remove those bays if you wish so you will have to remove the top two bays if you want to use extended ATX at the front of the case you get your SSD tray with RGB colors shining on it which also acts as a hybrid shroud for the power supply the 3.5 inch drives and the ugly cables behind it there's also an RGB controller included on the back of the case which then gives you control the front panel for RGB lighting which on the top besides that RGB button features 2 USB 3 and 2 USB 2 port as well as your standard resetting power buttons and audio in and out jacks both side panels a tempered glass with the rear having an extremely dark tint to it so dark that even the RGB strip that I put in the rear could not be seen from the outside the front however was a completely different story the RGB strips really added to the look of this build and there was so much room to work with in the front of the case as well if you wish you can have 360 mil radiators to either the top and/or front of the case and there's also one removable dust filter at the bottom of the case however on the top and sides of the case there is only fixed steel mesh and at the front of the case only the sides feature air intake and the bottom front of the case is completely naked with no dust filters whatsoever there's a further three GPU support arms included though I found that this didn't work with my EE ATX motherboard so now it's verdict time I really liked the final look at this case and also the build quality which is damn good nothing felt flimsy at all in the BitFenix Shogun and I had no problems whatsoever when doing this build though I will say it was the most time-consuming case to work in and that was of course partly due to the project itself however I also found the included fans were quite weak as well even at full power I would have also liked to have seen a third fan included at the front of the case there overall a very solid case that comes in at currently 143 USD on Amazon or roughly 234 AUD in Australia and it goes if you enjoyed this video to be sure to hit that like button if you dislike I just slam that dislike button and let me know in the comment section below what do you think of the BitFenix Shogun do you think it was worthy of junik romped resurrection absolutely personally love the look of this case I really can't wait to complete the build fully for you guys in part 2 and with that said I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon he's alpha now bye
