 So I'm pitching to Brandon. I'm like this is gonna be a case unboxing. It's gonna be like exciting You're gonna be excited. Look at this. It's one case, but it comes in two gigantic not to mention very heavy boxes and he's like Now I've seen that before with the HAF stacker. It was terrible Yeah, that was terrible. But but but no this time it's gonna be different. This is the case labs THW 10 a massive chassis for a project I'll get to that later for a project that I've had on the go for several months now an attempt to Take seven gamers one CPU and make it productive Six 8k video editing stations running off of a single motherboard and for that I I needed a case that was pretty unique So let's open it up and make sure that everything Damn it I bent my key I So step number one here is figuring out how the devil to open this thing well that explains why it didn't come off This is like It's a it's a it's an odd sized case. So this is actually two case boxes One put down on top of the other and they don't fit all the way I can do this. I'm a professional unboxer Brandon Second person my ass Wow This thing is really big I Guess while I open it up, I should explain So once it's finished this system is going to have two 28 core CPUs Which is why it needs such a large motherboard tray So we're going to be using a SSI EEB sized motherboard So that doesn't fit in just your standard ATX case Then much of the rest of the case is going to be taken up by radiators Because the finished system is actually going to have Six high-end graphics cards if I can get my way they're going to be quadros which would put this system somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 to a hundred thousand dollars But when you consider how much a you know professional workstation with a Xeon CPU and a quadro graphics card costs in the first place 64 gigs of RAM and all that good stuff For six of them in one tower. It's not that far off is it? Come on! Wow from just looking at the one side panel you clearly Did not get a sense of the full scope of this monster I'm a professional unboxer Brandon. So back to why we need all that space. So we've got this giant motherboard We got all these graphics cards. We need cooling So there's going to be I don't remember how many but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of like eight radiators to make sure that our dual CPUs and Six graphics cards will all be adequately cooled then Things get really interesting because you can see back here. We've got almost as much space for hardware behind the motherboard tray So there's not going to be really any graphics cards here or anything as we do on the other side And I have big plans for this So I've been doing some experimenting with a really unorthodox storage solution So have a look at these These are U.2 to PCI Express times four slot adapters So I was concerned that because I was going to be filling up all of my PCI Express slots with Graphics cards that I was going to have to get down to single slots somehow. I wasn't going to have any way to put Sufficiently high-speed storage in the machine because these are professional workstations I want every boot drive to be super fast So what I wanted to do was take the four U.2 slots here That's a really unique feature of this board and connect them to obtain memory drives However the standard two and a half inch U.2 form factor at the time I was planning the project anyway Didn't have capacities that were high enough for me to have enough space for six VMs to have a decent size boot drive So I figured okay. Here's a solution. We adapt them to PCI Express slots so my intention is Is actually to use a bunch of the space back here to mount These adapters from micro SATA cables and somehow or other Like oh like that or something I don't know so that I can have full-size PCI Express obtain drives these 750 series are just here for testing purposes Then it gets even more interesting I haven't actually even done a test fit for this yet But there's a company that makes a PCI Express 16x like it just plugs into a slot to eight times slot Adapter using a bunch of PLX chips So what I was kind of hoping when I saw that is that I could put all of those over here Somehow somewhere and then every VM could have its own USB card dedicated to it so that it could have full plug-and-play now that we've got the skeleton open we can go ahead and peek behind door number two so case labs cases are like quite modular so You get all these like pieces and you kind of screw them together yourself That also allows them to have a lot of different options So if you were the kind of person who isn't living in 2018 and Wants you know a lot of five and a quarter inch bays in the front or whatever then you wouldn't go for These like full-sized or nearly full-size. We've got one five and a quarter inch bay up there on each side like grill fronts This is all just mounting hardware in case accessories Holy crap Okay feet are on so let's start popping some panels on this thing we've got the dual ventilated top panel so all the side panels which are tempered glass by the way I have now checked I Actually don't know what I'm more excited for at this point doing the finished build or just Getting my stuff off of this horrible test bench for the rest of my testing You know, maybe you guys can let me know for a build like this Do you prefer? you know legit workstation hardware to look legit and workstation or do you look at an expensive machine that I mean let's face it we are gonna game on it and See those bare green ram PCBs and go Should we put heat spreaders over those just get some aftermarket ones? I want to know So even though this motherboard dwarfs a normal board It still looks tiny in here I Don't think this system is gonna be movable by a single person When we're done here It looks so lonely It looks so lonely So that's pretty much it let's take it upstairs, okay We'll be fine Okay, not too bad door opening plan here we go No Okay, I'll make way move Sorry not mean to be rude but just Okay What Have I unleashed All right, do you want to grab an end I don't feel like moving this on my own anymore okay ready and one two three hop oh Hopefully this thing still works after being transplanted it's always a concern. Wait what? Where are all my drives? Wait, I didn't plug in the SATA cable that is going to power all the drives so We're gonna shut this down, but that's okay. That's the end of the unboxing of the thw 10 Hope you guys enjoyed it and stay tuned because there are going to be more updates on this project for sure There's gonna be some crazy hardware that we are using in it Thanks for watching guys If you just like this video you can hit that button if you liked it hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where To get your very own thw 10 or maybe one of their more reasonably sized options over on case labs website Also in the video description is our merch store, which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum Which you should totally join?
