 Would it really be PAX if we didn't do like top five gaming desktops at the Intel booth? The answer is yes. Yes it would. But this is good too. So we're gonna start with a system that was done up by our buds over at BS Mods. Now I've got to include those guys because their systems are always so gorgeous. So in this case, get it, case, they started with a Case Labs SM8. They got the just primed version so that they could put their trademark automotive grade finish on this puppy. I mean, what do they not put a beautiful automotive grade finish on? In terms of specs, it has some beautiful hardware. So we got a Core i7-5960X that's of course supporting quad channel DDR4, which we have 32 gigs of from Corsair. Those are Dominator Platinums, but they've done a lot of little subtle customizations here. Those black strips on the top of the Dominator Platinums. The removal of the white shroud on the X99 Deluxe motherboard to make this look absolutely gorgeous in a monochrome black and white and gray color scheme. We've got dual GTX 980s, water cooled by EK water blocks along with the CPU with that sick looking mayhem fluid inside. But this machine is really all about the SSDs and there are a lot of SSDs in here. We've got two 750 series SSDs plugged directly into PCI Express slots down there. We have a third plugged into Asus' HyperKit coming off the motherboard there and plugging in with the cable and then mounted on like a showcase pedestal stand. And then as if that wasn't enough, the entire front of the case is full of four more SATA 3 SSDs. I mean, I guess that's, you know, the 730 series has been, you know, handed off the mass storage duties now as if the, you know, one point whatever that is, two terabytes of PCI Express SSD wasn't enough. What an overkill build, but absolutely gorgeous. Number two, you know that song that, you know, I'm always singing? I like little builds, they make me feel so good. Well, this one is a little tiny machine that makes me feel pretty good. I'm calling it the like Fantastic Fiber or something. It doesn't have a real name, but Exotic PC did it up for the show. They're actually trialing a new finish for the outside of the case. I would hardly even recognize that this is a Corsair Air 240 because they went and they put like automotive blue paint on it, then like some hydro something dip to bring out this sort of full carbon fiber blue and silver finish. And then they clear coated it to give it shine and durability. It looks absolutely fantastic. But of course, none of that would be meaningful if it didn't have the horses under the hood. And it does. We've got a Maximus 8G motherboard, so that's an MATX board in there with a Core i7 6700K processor. Of course, that supports DDR4 memory. So we got 32 gigs. Of course, they're Dominator Platinum DDR4. And these GPUs, they fit in there just barely. You can actually see if you look closely, the window is bowing from the manifold thing sitting over top of both graphics cards that puts parallel water flow through them. So they didn't get them in there, even if it was a bit of a tight fit. And of course, this is always a nice finishing touch for me. I mean, mounting your SSD in a drive sled is so like, you know, 2000s. It's 2015. Mounted to the window. Loving it. Nice touch. Number three, we've got the main gear force. And this is about as like, you know, cosmic bowling as I think you can pretty much get with a computer. Although, as a fan of the UV lighting effects myself, I have to say they've taken a pretty novel approach here. So they've actually mixed LED lighting for the green with blue LEDs. So they've got green LEDs around the fans with these thermal take fans as well as illuminating the front panel. And then they've got blue LED strips on the inside to illuminate the UV reactive green fluid. So you don't really see the blue as more than just kind of like an under glow to the foreground popping out green lighting effect. I think it looks absolutely fantastic. As you can clearly tell, it's custom water cooled in a really, really neat way. So they've got two pumps in the bottom that split the flow between the CPU and the GPUs and then bring it all back together right at the reservoir that screws right onto the top of the dual pump unit. And as always, it's got the horses under the hood. So that's a Z170 Deluxe from ASUS with a Core i7-6700K. We've got dual GTX 980TIs. It's got an AX1200i power supply. You might hardly recognize it, but this is a Corsair 900D case. And then this is one of the few machines at the show that features, yes, there it is, the Intel 750 series SSD, but in the 1.2 terabyte variety. I mean, I guess that's kind of cool. I saw one of my rigs, so, you know, whatever. I'm not that impressed. But they've definitely blown me away with the looks of this machine because as much as it might be that, like, you know, gamer over the top bling, some of us are into that sort of thing. So, yeah. So it's time for system number four, and this one is an absolute beauty. It's actually in the Intel booth because it's running an early build of Karma Incarnation 1, like a moral choice point and click adventure game. But we're here for the hardware anyway, so we're going to focus on this puppy. Cybertron has put this beast of a machine in a just gorgeous aluminum and glass enclosure from Inwin that has all the fix. And let me check this out. It's got front USB type C. I love that. And it's got a touch sensitive button that I accidentally touched and turned off the game before when I was trying to reposition it to shoot this video. And of course, it's got the goods inside. So we've got a Core i7 6700K, water cooled by EK water blocks. And then we've also got dual GTX Titan blacks. We've got 32 gigs of DDR4 memory from Crucial. We've got an EVGA power supply of some sort. It's like buried in there in this very uniquely laid out interior that has like a triple 120 millimeter radiator in the back. And then it's got like another fan here and then all the water cooling tubing, which is hard pipe, by the way, looks beautiful. It's like stealthily run up here and run between all the components. It's got another dual 120 millimeter radiator in the front. It's got two more intakes in the bottom. I mean, this thing is cooled to the absolute nines. And of course, it's got, yes, there it is, an Intel 750 series 400 gig PCI Express SSD down there, all on an Asus Maximus 8 Ranger. Man, I love this, like just slightly lit, but very dark, like contrasty, almost like comic booky looking color scheme they got going on here. Just beautiful. System number five is something you don't see from us very often. This is a tier one pre-built machine. I mean, those suck, right? No, this one looks pretty darn interesting to me. This is the Acer Predator. And while the look might be quite polarizing, Nick calls it the armadillo, but I think it looks more like the front of a tank tread or something. They've done a few things that are kind of cool here. So with your front I.O., you've got your SD card reader, your headphone microphone jacks, two USB 3.0, and boom, what's that? Headphone holder. Yeah, that's right, headphone holder right in the front of the case. Okay, fine, that's kind of bizarre. You've got your optical drive, just in case you still have one of those. This is pretty cool. Pop this baby down. You've got a hot swap, either three and a half inch or two and a half inch sled, so you can go ahead and do a hard drive upgrade pretty easily, should you so desire. We're just going to leave that. Now, this is where things get really interesting on this one. It is almost impossible to get open without instructions, but of course I managed it. In fact, one of the people showing people around at the Intel booth was like, yep, I straight up don't know how to get that out, because it is kind of weird in terms of its construction. It's like a normal Acer case inside, see, just like very normal case construction. And then it's actually got like a gigantic body kit on it or something. The hardware inside is looking pretty good though. So we've got a Core i7-6700K. We've got a custom Z170 Micro ATX motherboard, so it's an Acer special in there. We've got a GTX 970. It's a very short, looks like OEM only skew with a blower design, which is very nice for cooling. We've got, I don't know, 16 or 32 gigs of DDR4 memory. And we've got a very strange hard drive configuration, 4 terabyte Seagate drive and a 3 terabyte WD green. So I guess the 4 terabyte Seagate is the boot drive. Well, whatever, you'll be able to get it in a variety of different configurations. I would recommend one with an SSD and then get a storage drive as well. Those are good, but boot off your SSD. And it's very interesting to see Acer's take on the gaming desktop up close and in person. So I think that's pretty much it, guys. Thanks for checking out our top 5 gaming desktops at the Intel booth here at PAX Prime 2015. Don't miss any of our PAX Prime coverage because it's all freaking awesome. I haven't actually watched any of it yet because like Luke did it and I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure it's awesome. He does a good job. Oh, and one thing I missed. It's got a turbo button bringing back the 486 days. Yeah.
