9:22 To avoid this, use "movflags=frag_keyframe+empty_moov" in the Custom Muxer settings, or use a format this is not MP4 or MOV (like MKV). MP4/MOV expect what is called a "MOOV atom" in the file, which contains all the metadata about the video, and the standard is to put it at the end of the file. If your recording gets interrupted somehow, that MOOV atom doesn't get written, causing most players and video editing software to have a difficult time opening it. (If you ever run into this issue and really need to recover the recording, try producing another one with the exact same settings, which can then be used by software like "untrunc" to build the MOOV atom for the broken file.) Using the specified muxer settings, ffmpeg (and thus OBS) will generate "fragmented" files, which means it will regularly store the metadata along with the fragments it is writing. (Though be warned that some software doesn't want to deal with fragmented files, but you can always re-mux them if needed and at least won't lose the entire recording on a crash.)

That power connector is called a PowerCON connector made by Neutrik. They're products are industry standard for event production. It's really cool to see one used in this way however its slightly upsetting because they used the white connectors instead of the blue connectors. The reason this matters is because white is supposed to mark a power output, and blue is to mark a power input. The purpose of this is for equipment that has both ports on it so you can daisy chain the power.

@Excal111 Жыл бұрын

Feel like the YTX, hopefully if it becomes more common, motherboards and similar style cases may be the saving grace of SFF cases looking at this thing. Beautiful look to it, very small, I love the semi exposed parts. A different version of this style could probably support even some of the newer GPUs from the 40 series which almost all are absolute bricks, just make the case a bit longer.

It's mainly inferred but I haven't seen anyone state it, they included the "appropriate" power cable which is effectively a male to male power cable or a "suicide cable". If this cable is plugged into the wrong thing (like the output of a light on the white end) it creates exposed live contacts that one can potentially electrocute themselves on!

That mobo PCB layout makes heaps of sense. It'd also let them do 5v/3.3v power conversion. You could potentially have an insanely compact even higher powered flex ATX 12VO PSU as a result. With m.2 expansion being such an important thing now, this form factor makes heaps of sense.

@yumri4 Жыл бұрын

The formfactor and component placement make sense the issue is flex ATX PSUs aren't common and really to get one you probably have to print you own PCB. When you get into printing you own PCB you have gotten into company secrets for how intel or AMD connect to the motherboard electrically. Now if you had that as a open thing you would have many people just printing their own motherboard instead of having to make it fit the shape a motherboard manufacture made. Would it be more expensive to do it that way? Maybe depends on the design they use but for most it is normally done for size requirements are different from the standard.

Aside (as other comments have mentioned) for the power connector being dangerous for being the wrong use case, I think overall this is a nice looking system that borrows a bit of that Apple aesthetic/engineering of using the chassis to sink heat. However, the exposed area/fans creates a danger situation where someone (like Linus) sticks their finger in it, or something accidently hits the fan and shatters it (I've had that happen when a case fan was exposed.) I probably would have at least put a magnetic fan filter at least over the fans, or design one with magnetic posts (since aluminum isn't magnetic.) It is overall neat to look at though.

I would like to see the designer continue developing this line of thought and see where it can go.

Considering no one else comments on it, and for me it starts at 5:30 something, it seems local, and I had issue with youtube lately.

@KILLERMOON CZ I was just estimating the start time, because it was a while before I commented on it. I closed and reopened youtube and it was a consistent desync.

Stage lighting has so many connectors, i'm just surprised they used powecon out instead of powercon in for the connector

Antec's Sonata case back in the day came with a built in duct that went from the back of the case to the cpu and even had a mount for a fan to cool the gpu. Great case

It's pretty cool to see Chinese companies go from extremely sketchy products to really nice products that are a bit rough on the edges now but the companies that produce the products today will be producing truly premium products in the next 10-20 years.

Up to the mid 70s, Japan was considered the make of cheap, low quality products, and it was mostly justified. There was a transit period of 5 years max, and then with companies like AIWA we started to see really high quality products that were not cheap anymore, but were a solid buy. I tried to say this before - do not deduce from the current sketchy state of Chinese quality that it will always be so. I', happy to see a top-quality product like that.

Funny of people to call anything out of China sketchy while browsing the internet on techs that is mostly if not all 100% made in China.

@@MoreLessTer China does final assembly for most things, but they usually don't design the products. Your iPhone might say "made in China" but not a single component or element was engineered there. Korea, Japan, and Taiwan have bigger roles in the iPhone production but since all the final parts were assembled together in China, it says made in china.

MiniApeTX looks like a good form factor for more conventional cases tbh... An expanded configuration with an underslung PSU, drive racks, and other things would still give a nice small footprint. Also I'd be kind of nervous using this particular compact rig without mesh. Stuff and dust would get lost in there eventually.

I like this design, but there should always be guards on exposed fans. Solid aluminum construction for the case actually makes sense since the case is meant to absorb the heat and to be stood up; you'd need the weight to keep it in place through bumps.

I like the no intro thing that you have been doing for a while, clever way to make people watch through sponsor segments, and makes the video production feel more modern. Would like to see the old intro (the 2d one) for something, if you're looking at something retro, just a bit of a nostalgia trip, yaknow. Also, that power connector for the PSU, should be an option from all PSU manufacturers, aswell as selling cable length options, great idea from the designers.

@35manning Жыл бұрын

That plug actually looks like an Australian plug, just upside down, unless they intended the cable to be pointing upwards. The two angled pins (compared to the cable) are active and neutral and the pin that's inline with the cable is ground. Of course, we use it on a 240v 50hz supply rated for 10a on that plug, or if the ground pin is wider, 15a (acts to key a 15a plug to only fit in a 15a socket, but allows 10a plugs to use 15a sockets)

They could maintain a list of suitable GPUs and sell those different U-shaped side panels to accommodate the shrouds. But let's face it, you get to that level of specifics and your market size goes to near zero. But it's such an awesome design!

@CallerNumberNine Жыл бұрын

Those Neutrik powerCON connectors are fantastic, but they have selected the wrong ones for this application. the gray panel-mount connector on the PC is supposed to be an ‘outlet’, usually as mains passthrough on a piece of equipment, and gray cable-mount connector which mates with it is expected to be used on the Source side of any cable it’s fitted to. This cable should be destroyed immediately; while it will work perfectly safely with this PC, if it ends up in your warehouse and someone grabs it not knowing how wrong it is, they could plug it into any lights/equipment using correctly configured powerCON connectors and end up with the domestic plug end live at mains voltage. This is what electricians call a widow maker.

Recommendation for case: a custom fan grill for the CPU heatsink that doesnt allow for any wobbling (Either lipped on the outer perimeter of the fan or lipped inside the fan holes) For the GPU, its a lot harder to design something that's as flush but it can have a "protected" open air case.

This looks absolutely fantastic. I would freaking LOVE for a manufacturer to start making modular parts so we could build PC cases out of components, I think that'd be SO cool. Imagine something like this, only customizable. Or using your small PC case of your not-so-powerful machine and putting its parts into a new, bigger case, so you don't have to just completely get rid of the old one and pay for a full new case. Reusability and customization, baby!

Not exactly sure what you were saying, but as far as modular.... InWin has that "case" that is "modular", purchase which modules you want, then you pick the layout.

Making YTX an official unofficial standard would make so much sense, though that spot has a tendency to become the PSU spot in lots of cases. Possibly could be really good for a YTX12VO standard, since the motherboard needs do PSU duty anyway.

Fun thing about the duct mod; dell actually uses ducting in some of their pre-made systems at our university in the labs. I think it's part of their data center stuff.

@alexatkin Жыл бұрын

OEMs like Dell pretty much have been using ducting forever as their systems are usually entirely custom parts with very little you can upgrade. So its a blessing and a curse.
