The Mirrors Edge Glass Gaming PC - Time lapse + Build!

2016-12-04
what's up youtubers once again we're back here on Tekken tomorrow bringing you guys a bad ass system now this system I'm calling the Mirror's Edge and really the whole basis around this entire system is to show off a bunch of killer ass parts that we got from Corsair and a few others now brand new crystal series of 570 x this case is badass its elegant it's all glass it's just totally cool I think you guys are really going to dig it plus we show off a bunch of other different parts now what it say it's right off the bat I could give a less if you could build a cheaper computer there's nothing in this computer at all that I've built at all to save money that wasn't in it at all all this bill is about is about showing killer ass parts and how bitchin the system is now there are a few things about the 570 X I think you guys are going to be like hmm but most of all it's pretty badass and we've done something totally different we actually time-lapse the entire bill with my man Anthony Reynolds peace out brother thanks for doing that for us so you guys get to check that out but before we do that let's jump in and let's take a close look at the 570 X and see how elegant this badass case really is the coolest thing about the crystal series 570 X is obviously it's covered in glass everything on the external of the 570 X is glass and that's pretty awesome now the only cavity that does if you keep touching with your bare hands you're obviously going to leave fingerprints cool things are 2-year warranty so if you don't anything with the case you screw it up for the first two years you have it you are totally covered it comes in weighing at ten point nine kilograms form factors mid-tower the dimensions are four hundred eighty millimeters by two hundred thirty four millimeters by 512 millimeters as far as motherboard support Mini ITX micro ATX and ATX up to two hundred and seventy two millimeters is that's the largest size board you can use it inside of the five 70 X now for you guys wondering hey man how big the video card and I stick inside the 570 X well up to 370 millimeters so you can use a pretty damn big card the maximum CPU cooler height is 170 millimeters what that means is that's the distance from your actual board to the glass as far as power supplies go as long as within their 225 millimeters you are good to go as far as internal expansion slots there are seven of them so that means you can put seven different items inside your system most of the time though you're going to be using video cards that take up two slots as far as how many SSDs are hard drives you can stick inside of the 570 X well you can stick to 3.5 inch drives or two 2.5 inch drives we'll get to a little bit more about that later when get into the build and you guys will see how this is almost true the 570 X is made of two different things steel for the frame and glass for the outside as far as plugging things into the front of the 570 X you get two USB 3.0 ports a single headphone port and a single microphone port there are also buttons to control the lighting and the power button there's a lot of room inside the 570 X for mounting your fans in the front you can put up to 320 millimeters or 240 millimeter fans and on the top you can fit two hundred and twenty millimeter fans or two hundred and forty millimeter fans and on the back of the case you can stick a single hundred twenty millimeter fan for keeping all that air flowing through your system the case itself actually came with three RGB fans inside of it but we changed all those out to some even better fans which you'll see in a minute this next feature to me is very important because almost all the systems we build we like to have liquid cooling at least on something now as far as the front goes you can install all the way from a 120 all the way to a 360 millimeter rad that's pretty incredible on the top you have room for a single 240 millimeter and on the rear a single 120 millimeter liquid cooler most of those are the ones are the all-in-one though so that's the five 70 X a lot of features and looks pretty bitchin but now let's jump in and let's check out the Mirror's Edge build as far as the rest of parts go for the Mirror's Edge check it out man for the motherboard we have an LG 1151 this is the Asus z170 deluxe has some other boards lots of features and the color matches this bill just perfect not only that like most you I just like a zeus boards for the cpu we wanted to keep the same cpu that we've been using in all of our test systems because not only is this build going to look cool we're gonna actually start doing all our testing in it because it just looks more badass than the test system so we stuck with the Intel Core i7 6700 K 4.0 gigahertz of unlocked quad core skylake goodness obviously socket LGA 1151 to match the board as far as the memory the mirrors edge needs to have some badass memory so we went with 32 hundred megahertz Corsair Vengeance this is the 32 gigabyte kit which consists of four eight gigabyte sticks it's ddr4 it's got lots of led flashing colors and just looks badass like I said earlier folks I removed all of the fans that came with the 570 X and we replace them all with coursera ml 120 pro's these things are badass their wife their LED they're 120 millimeter and they are bitchin even though I searched and searched I just could not find a damn coarser liquid cooler to stick in the system so I went with the Kraken X 62 from NZXT if you guys know anything about this product it's really nice it'll do the job and it has a lot of cool lights that match the build for the boot drive we wanted something very very fast but still with enough room on to not only store your OS but to store all your other programs as well so we went with the Corsair Neutron XT iSeries 480 gigabyte SSD lots of speed and lots of room we also went with a Seagate 2 terabyte fire CUDA now this is a hybrid drive it's both a solid-state drive and a regular SSD all combined in one for much faster caching and much faster access to all your programs and games and powering up the Mirror's Edge is a corsair rmi series RM 850 i this is an 850 watt fully modular power supply it's 80 plus gold certified with a 10-year warranty so you know it's gonna last okay now let's check out Anthony and Reynolds aka Thrasher to put the mirrors edge together in a bitchin time-lapse video so the first thing that Anthony does he completely tears the 570 X down to its frame this makes it much easier to plan the bill figure out what you're going to do for cable management and all that other stuff and then start prepping everything to stick it inside of the case there were a couple of things that we did have a little bit trouble with installing the kraken x 62 on the top that took a little bit of slight modification because it just wasn't fitting perfectly and once again i kind of regretted not actually having a corsair one but that's just the way goes sometimes you overall though putting a system inside the 570 X was pretty cool we didn't run it any serious problems and if we actually just stuck to parts that we're all probably made by Coursera as much as possible everything would have fit like a glove as it is it's put together it looks nice I think it looks bitchin definitely want to know what you folks have to think the big thing in my is that was really kind of strange is installing a 3.5 inch drive was kind of tricky we couldn't get it to go in a standard way and as you guys can see mounting it in the back we actually had to put the electronics facing outwards which I guess isn't the end of the world but I mean I really didn't want to look at the underside of my hard drive I want to see the top so I could identify and go hey look that's the badass part in my build but once again that just a small thing about the case beyond that there are no sharp edges whatsoever inside of the 570 X it's very smooth all the way around putting in the extra fans and stuff was a very simple affair no problem whatsoever now it took Anthony a total of about four and a half hours to completely build the system test it and get it up and going but everything works really great now I didn't mention in the build previously just because we're gonna be changing out the video cards but you guys can see that I used a Founders edition GT X 1080 inside the build and it looks pretty cool but we're going to use this build like I said for not only just a standard system to look cool I'm sick of just having a test bed out there that just looks ugly and just sits there this is a badass-looking system there's plenty of access in to take the glass side panel off stick whatever video card we want in there and with that 2 terabyte ultra-fast drive you know everything on the system is going to be really really fast and in fact we're going to be bringing you another video we show you exactly how fast the system is with the different video cards we test all right Tech fans so there you guys have it the Mirror's Edge system featuring the corsair crystal series 570 x case now obviously as far as beauty goes the case is amazing cable man it's a little bit difficult can't hiding those cables and as far as installing 3.5 inch drives it with a little modification it can be done but not my most favorite thing in the world so as far as beauty and elegance goes I say that right beauty elegance think I said it right as far as that goes come on man this case is a ten as far as economics go I'd say it's probably a six because you can't hide in the cables and cable management's a little tricky and as far as like modifications sticking other parts can go I'd probably give that about a seven as well because we did get into crackin X 62 but it wasn't the easiest thing in the world like usual all the parts that we used in this bill will be down below like button hopefully you guys will go Chuck Norris style on it we put a lot of effort in the video to bring it to you folks so hopefully you guys will appreciate and like that I'm our buddy the dog he wanted to make his appearance mr. G behind the camera we'll see you guys background teka tomorrow for more tech goodness coming up
