Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, everyone, and welcome to 218 at NCC Podcast. Yes, I know, Lauren, it's Wednesday. Oh, don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say, Humday. The official podcast of the NZC community, this podcast is recorded live on, well, usually Fridays, but today it's Wednesday at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on the official NZC Twitch is available to stream on demand on Apple
Starting point is 00:00:20 podcast, Spotify, and SoundCloud. My name is Mike Kim. And before we do a very weird and new NZC podcast for today, I do want to be able to to introduce about the nx60 club i'm wearing a shirt right now uh special thanks to intel for helping us sponsor the nzxc intel club uh you guys can go to nzc dot co slash club or asimation point club in chat and you guys can earn poochy points by doing quests you know like interacting with our posts or going to our website or whatever and you guys get earned plushies you can see poochie right there oh my dude there you go that's so weird uh plushies shirts uh like this or
Starting point is 00:01:00 and we even have a monthly PC giveaway for a Player 1 Prime PC available in white or black. So please go to nzc.co slash club and special thanks to Intel for helping us out. There is a giveaway right now for an Intel hoodie, shirt, and mousepad. I'll be giving out a special code word that gives you a thousand extra entries into the giveaway. And there is a very special giveaway that we are happening right now, but we'll go into that later. But now I'm going to go ahead and very interesting. We're going to kind of see how this works. So please bear with us.
Starting point is 00:01:34 But please help me welcome. Kevin. There you go. Okay. Now you can see. Okay. So, oh, sorry. I was getting a little.
Starting point is 00:01:46 We're trying something new. We have a mic down here. It's going to be a very odd, very interesting time. So please spare with us. But this is our first time having two people in the podcast room at the same time. and doing like hands-on, like, actual showing. So, first of all, Kevin, can you go ahead and introduce yourself to our audience? Hey, everyone.
Starting point is 00:02:06 My name is Kevin. I'm the director of product here at NCXT, so happy to be here. And, yeah, this is the first time doing this live. So let's see how this goes. So put your hand into the thing. Yeah, it's like this is like an actual live, like live feed. So this is like, I've never done this before. So please bear with us.
Starting point is 00:02:24 But we have, as you see right here, an H2 and a. power supply so I'm going to first roll the thing and then I will go into a little bit of the specs there awesome so as you saw right there we have a new H2 flow mini ITX case and a C850 SFX PSU so first of all Kevin can you go over the features and specs of the H2 flow mini ITX case yeah so this is um well coming in from H1 B2, the story behind it is we wanted to take a little pause in terms of delivering a mini ITX case. And when we launched the original H1, it was at a time where GPU started to get bigger, power requirements started to get, you know, bigger and bigger.
Starting point is 00:04:21 So by the time we launched the H1B2, it started to become, okay, this is sort of hitting its limits. and therefore we took a few years, you know, pause in terms of delivering a mini ITX product. And, you know, the H2 is currently our answer to that. And alongside the goal of the H1, it was all about enabling, you know, small form factor PCs to be built relatively easily. And, you know, the H1 line is. It had everything built in, but that was also a double-edged sword. Sure, it became easy, but at the same time, you can't swap parts to something that will fit into the case.
Starting point is 00:05:08 So this time around with the H-2, we want to make sure we are addressing all of that, and therefore a lot of aftermarket components can go into the H-2. So in the front, you do support radiators up to 280. We do include the latest generation PCIU5 riser card that is already pre-bent and ready to go in the case. You just have to pick up a SFX, SFXL power supply, cooler, of course, your mini ITX motherboard, and memory with prices right now. not so great. Yeah. And yeah, in the GP.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So the top comes in with two 120 millimeter fans for, you know, great out of the box, thermals. So yeah, everything is pretty much ready to go once you have all of those parts. And, you know, we do try to keep it as simple, as open, and we'll show you guys that, you know, in just a minute. But yeah, ease of building, you know, all of those things are what we aimed after. What is also unique for us is this sort of hybrid handling.
Starting point is 00:06:24 We have the tempered glass here so that you can actually see into the case, at least on the motherboard side, and then just fine mesh all around. Yeah. And one cool thing is basically you don't need any screwdrivers or anything like that. I don't know in our old cases we had like a thumb screw, but this was like completely, completely like no screws anything. Yeah. So getting in and out of the case, yeah, I'll go ahead and show you guys.
Starting point is 00:06:56 You just snap these panels, right? They're all held together by these little mushroom captive. And just all around every single panel can come up. So cool. This is the GPU side. That's so cool. And yet you have it all open access. And the front, these are, this is the radiator slash band mount.
Starting point is 00:07:33 And these are held together by these four captive grooves along the four corners. And then this is the case pretty much opened up. And that allows you to, you know, put your hand where you need to, you know, get into those tight corners to make the connections. I love that. So what cables I see are included into the case right there? So like the standard stuff, right? Yeah, so the standard stuff, this is the front I.O. We do have the front panel connector, that's the power button really, and the HD audio, a USB type C,
Starting point is 00:08:31 and a USC type A connector for 20. Someone in the chat says, so the power supply is in the back or just the bottom. It can use a regular power supply. So you have to use the SFX standard power supply. So looking at the size, it looks like it will fit, but when we made the design choices to go with SFX, it was really for cable management and also to keep the case without the design. growing it, you know, a little bit further. My original target to the team was 20 leaders.
Starting point is 00:09:12 We managed to break that a little bit. That's 20.7. Yeah. Yes, I think by the time you keep adding all of these things, I don't know if you could still call it a small home factor. I wanted to try to be pretty strict about that. But, yeah, we'll definitely see. We'll take in some feedback.
Starting point is 00:09:34 see how people respond to some of these design choices. Yeah, I mean, you can fit an ATX power supply, but you're really going to be pressed up against the radiator once you have it in here. So, yeah, we'll have to really test that out. And we just launched an SFX PSU like right there, right? So yes, so this is our C850 SFX. And we could see that. Oh, yeah. And it is fully modular.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And, you know, ATX 3.1. We have the PCIE 12B2x2x6. So yeah, all of those come standard in the box. I got a couple questions before we get into like the intro. Can it fit at 5090? Yeah, the founder's edition. bit. I'm not sure if there are any sort of AIC cards that, you know, fit the dimensions, but in terms of length, we do support GPUs up to 331 millimeters. Hopefully, with, you know, better cooling out of these
Starting point is 00:10:49 AIC cards, we are seeing more options. Yeah. Another question. Can you place this horizontally or Is it made to be kept upright? It's made to be kept upright. Yeah, because when you put it horizontally, your motherboard IOS is pretty much going to be in the back right here. So unless you introduce some sort of feat to allow for that clearance, probably wouldn't be the best idea.
Starting point is 00:11:24 We went for this sort of layout and orientation is sort of to conserve on desktop footprint. And therefore, this is no bigger than a sheet of, you know, A4 letter paper. Yeah, this is actually smaller than this. Oh, wait, it is really? Yeah. What? Yeah. So, you know, it doesn't take up much space on your desk.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I guess that's, I mean, I guess we can show off, like, the size of it. So here, I'll bring out, like, an old 8-5-10 that we have here. This is an old 8-5-10, but, like, like, like you guys can see how much room this takes up here and then you bring in the H2 like this right here is kind of showed off like how big of a difference the uh the sizes and I know it's like some people like the horizontal portion of like cases but like this is the reason why like the vertical is so good I mean like look look at the look at this this is like our like one of our smaller cases too like this is a old H500 and
Starting point is 00:12:37 look at the size difference between the two like yeah well we what we sort of aimed after is just try to squeeze as high about performance we can into you know the smallest PC that we think will still continue to have great thermos and a lot of the learning from just all of the cases that we continue to be doing, including the high performance match. And, yeah, it really was about squeezing as much performance into this tiny space. At the same time, providing a look that is going to be sort of unique.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yeah, all around. Actually, a great segue into the PC portion of it is from Jaden in the chat says, would you recommend AIO for this case? Oh, definitely. Yeah, so we do support coolers up to 280, and that would probably get you the maximum, you know, sort of performance that you can out of the latest CPUs. You know, in terms of looking at the temperature,
Starting point is 00:13:52 thermal performance delta between our previous generation H1V2 and this, it's significantly better. GPU is relatively the same, but we were able to knock off around probably close to 14 degrees on CPU. What? In Celsius? Yeah, in Celsius. So the H1B2 was pretty much sort of capped at the 140 millimeter radiator and that's why with this yeah 280 performs really on part with a 360 a lot of the 360 coolers out there and you know you're running two 140 millimeter bands in the front this you can see here in this build yeah that just effectively it keeps this thing really cool wow wow 14 C so can you go into the design process of like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:14:50 NXHG Chilla actually just talked about like, where's the H1? So like from the H1 to this, like, what were like some things that you guys were like, we need to change this, we need to make sure we keep this and stuff like that. Like what's the concept to the actual design? Yeah, I think a lot of it was keeping what sort of made H1, you know, great for its time. It's the ease of build and the ease of assembly. this one there are some I mean with all SFX builds there are definitely some things you might have to consider as you're going about that entire build process you know because
Starting point is 00:15:30 not every single cable is sort of pre-routed but we do keep it open as you guys could see in the opened up case so that you can sort of get in and out pretty easily And, you know, in terms of the H1B2, you know, it was really a form factor that, you know, was kind of unique in that, you know, there's the glass, the difference between the glass perforation and glass and the perforation to kind of give that, give off that look. And H2, we kind of want to keep something along those lines. But at the same time, you know, really supporting aftermarket parts was sort of the key goal for this one. And also, yeah, just enabling this look overall, you know, out of the box. Yeah, the H1B2 had like a 92 millimeter fan in the back for exhaust. And that, you know, just wasn't doing as much.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Especially in a small form factor case like that. That fan's probably not bringing any, or bring out any heat really. right right and this just you know naturally just you know exhausts everything yeah i mean everything everything around this thing is basically mesh just at the little glass panel in front of where your hand is basically yeah so we do highly recommend a liquid cooler because that way it'll pull the heat away from you know this area and then just like let it go to the radiator and everything goes soon uh i'm gonna get through some questions in the chat first and then we'll go more
Starting point is 00:17:06 into the stuff so um we'll get some uh jaden asked Is that a 50-80 in the case right there? I believe this one had to get, I think it's a 4070 TI. 47TI? Okay. Yeah. Oh, that PCI riser, what is, what, it comes with the case, right? It comes with the case, right?
Starting point is 00:17:29 It comes in the case. So it's PCI Gen 5. Yeah, so the latest, you won't be running into issues with like, you know, going into your bios, changing, configuring, all that stuff. So, you know, we've tested it for meeting the PCI-5 standard. And, you know, a lot of the aftermarket riser cables out there really aren't built that way. So that was one thing that, one of the reasons why this project also took us a lot, just reaching the maturity and the level of, you know, requirements that we were pushing for on just the cable itself.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And, you know, meeting a price point that would, you know, overall be, I would say, much closer to what people expect to be, you know, paying for something like this. I've seen a lot of people talking about, is this going to be coming in white any time? That's a big question I've seen. Do you guys – so what made you guys settle on just black for now, basically? Yeah, I mean, the mini-ItX – I would say demand is, for the most part, just really low, like 1, 2%. And for projects like these, we have to hit minimum water quantities for manufacturing.
Starting point is 00:19:00 So we're really testing this one out to see if this is going to do well and it can be in high demand. And we have spun up a white one. I think customer service team actually took it, and they made it look really good. And, you know, if demand goes up for this case, you know, that's definitely something we would consider. So let us know if that's something you guys want. That's a big thing that we're trying to really like focus on this year is like doing feedback. We've been doing feedback events recently. We do doing a virtual and an in-person one to really get your guys' feedback.
Starting point is 00:19:39 So if you guys have any questions or like, you know, like, hey, I want this in the next, please, like, please bring us to us to you guys to DM the socials at any time. Oh, someone says, can they see the front panel buttons and the IO like a close-up? Sure. Yeah, so here, actually, let me put the panel on handle. Yeah. Just see it. Yeah, because I think a couple people say how many ports does it have and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And so it comes with two USB Gen 1 type A's, then one Gen 2 by 2 types the combo headphone jack. I love the simplicity look of it. Yeah, it's on the front bottom for the uh thing. Are you going to be showing the giveaway PC? Not here. We do not have the H2 PC here, but, uh, we have a video of it online. Uh, I'll show you guys a video.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Um, let me go into this. I mean, you talked a little bit about it. It was there was not a lot of demand for mini items because everything, I mean, look at everything we have here is ATX, right? So what made you guys decide, hey, we should go back and remake the H1 or like this current jet? Yeah, I think a lot of it is, although there's not a high, huge demand,
Starting point is 00:21:15 we still always want to see what we can push and sort of drive on enabling something that is smaller and relatively performant and without all the issues that you would have to overcome when you're doing research on parts. So trying to be as compatible all around. And, yes, SFX builds today, sure, they can come in smaller than, you know, 20 liters.
Starting point is 00:21:48 There are a lot that's, you know, in the low teens to mid teens. But, you know, there's a lot of tradeoffs to be made with some of those builds. So, yeah, with this one, what we want to enable is still, okay, there are alternatives out there, but then you have to, you know, buy extra feet or do all of these things that, yeah, this H2 just works out of the box. And, you know, in terms of the layout, performance, and everything, it really just does its job if you're looking to, you know, have something that is on the smaller side.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Gotcha. What was, like, the biggest, like, challenge for you guys making the H2 in general that? A lot of it really was, I think, that riser cable. Yeah, yeah. I know there's some people that said, like, oh, why is it like this? And then there's all of a sudden there's like really expensive Gen 5 riser. So was that like the biggest challenge like figuring out like what you guys wanted? Yeah, I mean, so when it comes to riser cable, it comes back to manufacturing's capabilities.
Starting point is 00:22:59 And, you know, whether they hold their manufacturing up to a high, standard so that every single piece that comes off the line is going to pass. And then in terms of building this layout, we went actually through a couple of iterations to try to see what's the best in terms of performance. So that took a little bit of time in testing. But overall, we settled on this. And I think it's turned out great. I love it.
Starting point is 00:23:34 What about the LED lights? What about the LED lights for the inside? Oh, yeah, he asked a question. Oh, yeah, can you add LED lights in later? I don't see why not. I mean, if you, right now, what we, it comes out of the box without any RGP fans. You can always choose with the front bands with RGB.
Starting point is 00:23:59 You can swap the top fans if you want with RGB. You can add in strips. there are, in terms of mini ITX motherboards, the ones that I've worked with so far, most of them have 5-volt ARGB headers. So, you know, feel free to buy anything aftermarket. And if you want to, you know, illuminate some areas of the case that can't get eliminated by the fans, feel free to do so. Oh, actually, a question that I saw was,
Starting point is 00:24:27 what order would you build from an empty, like, H2? like how would you build in this PC from like beginning to end? Yeah, so the approach that I would take, and by the way, we are going to be making a video walkthrough. Oh, sweet. So that way, you know, people can see sort of just the process behind the assembly. But what I typically do is, you know, I remove all the panels. And then the first thing I put in is actually the motherboard without the liquid cooler.
Starting point is 00:25:03 And then, you know, next the riser cable, then what I would do is install the power supply, wrap all of the cables for the power supply, making sure that, you know, the gates and everything are sort of reserved for what I need to plug them into. And then before installing the radiator, I would actually install the GPU. Reason being, there are two screws for the PCI slots that you would need to, you know, gain access to. And the only way is through the front, and therefore you need to have the radiator kind of outside to get access to that. So that's probably one of the downside for this particular layout, this SFX orientation. And yeah, but once you have that in there, GPU installed, there's still ample space for cable management. but cable manage all of those up, and then you can just drop your flight 280, if you are installing a 2D,
Starting point is 00:26:09 into the case, onto the black end into the case. Yeah, because I know, like, for like a regular PC, it's relatively easier. You put in the motherboard, you can do all this stuff. You can even, like, change it up. Like, you don't even have to do the CPU cooler. Some people like to do CPU cooler and then leave the fansick. But with this, with a mini uptX, you don't really have a lot of like leeway.
Starting point is 00:26:33 You can't just go, I'm going to do GP first and then do everything. It's like you're going to have to kind of do it. I see there's some cable management router things there. We do include three Valkro sections. So these are, this is pretty much the primary channel for where all of your cables are going going. And you can hold everything in place with the Valko here. There's one also by the PSE.
Starting point is 00:27:03 So if you want to tie it down once you have your power supply in here, you can go and utilize this one. That's a lot of, you know, Edgeman. It's located. I love that. Let's see. We'll get through some questions. Oh, the RAM, does it have to be low profile where, or can it be really be any side?
Starting point is 00:27:28 No, you're not restricted at all. all in terms of the memory that you put in. Yeah, the clearance from the motherboard to the glass is pretty high. I don't think there's memory that tall. Yeah, that's awesome. That's up now with RAM. You can't have to take what you can get, right?
Starting point is 00:27:48 Very true. Someone asked, is there an HDD cage below the PSU? So below the PSU, we do have two base for two and a half inch drives. So those are toolless as well. So if you have a two of a half inch, you can just slide right in. And if you go and flip this, it'll just spring load pop out. Oh wow, spring load it too.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Wow, that's awesome. And if the spring's not working because your drives extra thick, there's this hole right here where you can. Oh, you can push it. Wow, that's so cool. Wait, I didn't even know that. That's so awesome. Wow, you guys really did think of everything, huh?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah, I mean, those are the things where you design. and oh you encounter issues along the way and it's okay we're gonna have to open up a hole there wow that's awesome i don't even know that that's so cool i i love i love products like a product testing like if you kind of start to turn things around and change in that love that um let's see rand does not have to be low profile how heavy do you think that pc is from like your guesstimate um it'd be like eight kilograms 8 kilograms, which is about 15 pounds or something like that, or 15, 60 pounds. Okay, that's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yeah. I mean, gosh, the H-9 right here and here, I think, is like, 30 pounds, mainly just because of the GPU and the glass. So, I mean, someone asked, will you guys be adding a handle, like a handle, like, accessory so you can, like, carry it to land events and stuff? Yeah, I mean, funny you asked that, actually. We actually reserved, in the design, we actually reserved four screw holes along the back. You know, because one of the, the thought was, okay, if people are going to be lugging this around,
Starting point is 00:29:47 let's at least reserve something for if people decide to, you know, 3D print or whatever, build a handle. So, yeah, there are four screw holes that you can utilize. and you know we actually have a gentleman in customer service calvin he actually created his own handle and he's been lugging this thing around like to and out of work so yeah i'm quite impressed by that i might need to see see what he designed in yeah if we could get a photo of that i would love that and then i just want someone to 3D print eight like little h2 flow wheels so you can just like here like do a little luggage. That'd be so fun.
Starting point is 00:30:31 I know that's like an issue. Some people want to bring their PC to like holiday or like or they're traveling or going to like a family's house and Christmas and they're like I want to play my games but I can't. This would be that. This could probably fit in a like an actual like luggage, can't it?
Starting point is 00:30:47 Yeah. Yeah. I don't think about that. I mean you've got a padded with a lot of your clothes. Yeah. I mean it should be yeah. If you keep it packed and won't move. Totally bad. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:31:02 What's the biggest board that size that could fit in the H2? The biggest board. So it is a mini-itX case, therefore mini-itx is as big as a case. Gotcha, gotcha. Is it TSA-friendly? I think it's, I think, yeah, I think people have brought PCs through TSA.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I know the PSP. So the liquid cooler. As long as you can, I think we have documentation that we can provide, which is how much liquid volume is held inside the radiators. We do have people who have taken flights many with liquid coolers in their carry-on and stuff. Yeah, as long as you could state how much liquid is in this and what sort of content it is, should be no one. How much liquid is in a 280?
Starting point is 00:32:00 I'd have to check, but I remember there's, there's like no more than 200,000. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because TSA 200 milliliters, yeah, so max is 3.4 milliliters, so yeah. But I didn't even think about liquid and a cooler being an issue.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Well, now we know. That's cool that you guys have like documentation for that, so they ought to cut it and stuff. Yeah. That would be awful. Let's see, what else do I have here? Oh, thermals. I know a lot of people ask about the thermals.
Starting point is 00:32:35 How well does the, I know, obviously it's not gonna be like this big old case here with, like, what, 9, 10 fans here? So how are the thermals in the H2? You know, in terms of what a 280 millimeter liquid cooler can, cool, pretty much everything today. And yeah, comparing to
Starting point is 00:33:03 like a full, full on build, I would say you're probably going to run within probably five degrees, actually, on, say, the CPU side. Maybe, yeah, so yeah, compared to, say, like,
Starting point is 00:33:19 to an H-5. Maybe it would run slightly, you know, warmer, but That's just overall, you know, this is the limitation of a 280 and then, you know, all the fans and everything else that's associated with it. So, but overall, you're still going to be well within like 80 degrees in terms of performance. You know, nowhere reaching, you know, the, what do you call it, the T.J. Max or 100 degrees where it begins the thermal throttle. so out of the box you shouldn't expect any i think people will understand like you're giving up a little bit of performance for i mean look how much that's that's space this saves i mean this this is the
Starting point is 00:34:09 whole thing i mean the performance on this is amazing but i mean here's a little can for uh there's a little can for um size difference i wish i tried to find a banana at the office but sadly we do not have it. Let's see. Oh, is there an underrated party case that you just love about that people should really look at and be like, wow, it's awesome. I know overall, if you manage to get a crack in the latest one in here, and it just like, it rounds everything up. It looks so good and it's a temperate glass. Yeah, because this temperate glass is a little, what do you call it? It's a little bit tinted. Tinted. Yeah. Yeah. So it's not
Starting point is 00:34:57 like completely see-through. And this is what we generally do on black variants of our cases. And, you know, if you manage to get a Cracken Elite 280, the latest one with like the bigger LCD display, that will, you know, it'll
Starting point is 00:35:14 look really nice. Yeah. Rounds everything up really well. Love that. Let's see. I think I got through most of the questions. I may have skipped a couple. Will you be doing a video with these steps? Yes, where you have a D.A? I'm going to have to wait for my team to come back from Chinese New.
Starting point is 00:35:32 But, yeah, we are shooting for maybe end of next month. Cool. Oh, and of course, we also have our little power supply thing. So can we go over to features the specs of the little SFX PSU? It's so cute and tiny. Yeah, so this is standard SFX size. it has all of the
Starting point is 00:35:55 cables that you would need we have a two 12 12b 2x6 ports but actually one of those is used for two PCIE headers so if you have a
Starting point is 00:36:11 you know a a MD GPU that's still on PCIE and then it's three of them that'll have that'll do the job so one dedicated PCIE and then one that splits off of B2x6. And these cables are modular, fully modular?
Starting point is 00:36:29 And these are what we call individually embossed. So it comes with these little cable combs if you need to use them. But yeah, just sort of slides up and down where you need to place it. Oh, that's so sick, I don't even know that. That's awesome. And since I see that, okay, I remember I asked you about this, oh, gosh, I think it was from our old power supply. I think when we first launched the C-1200 C-15, there's a thing of like a thousand percent Japanese capacitors. Can you go into that?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Because I've had some people be like, what's the difference between a regular capacitor or Japanese? Yeah. In terms of the industry, Japanese-made capacitors are still sort of highly, you know, in terms of their reliability. And, you know, it's not to mention, you know, production outside of Japan, like primarily in, say, Taiwan. Passeter quality and, you know, longevity has sort of improved a lot over the year, significantly.
Starting point is 00:37:46 but today it is still Japanese-made capacitors are still the highly reliable parts that are out there so yeah so this product is made with Japanese capacitors
Starting point is 00:38:01 and therefore expect the 10-year warranty to hold up its value and this product should last you for a real long time yeah I mean that's the 10-year warranty is insane for our, and most of our PSUs
Starting point is 00:38:17 are all 10 years, right? Most. The core series comes in at 7th, but yeah, any of the gold rated plus will be 10 years. And what GPUs can, or I guess
Starting point is 00:38:33 Routly, which GPs can't manage the 850 watt, because it can handle, you know, I always see like 2000, 3,000, 4,000. Yeah, you'll probably have to play around with sort of the total load as you're thinking about the build. So 850 watts, you should be able to do 50-70 builds
Starting point is 00:38:51 with relative ease. Gotcha. For something like a 5090 and like a beefy CPU, you probably want to go up to 1,000. Yeah, there's some pretty good, you know, SFX power supplies out there. Yeah, so you highly recommend those. And then, let's see.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Oh, the size I have here, it is 125 by 63.5 by 100, and that's with height, length. So just in case anyone needs to do it. But, I mean, if you have an SFX, PSU, most likely will fit in pretty much. Most of these. SFX, SFX, SFX, L is just slightly longer on this dimension. Okay. Hey, let's see. I think that is all the questions I have for the H2.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Is there something that you want to address to the audience that you want to get clear, anything like that? Anything that's like on top of your mind, like, hey, make sure to do this before this or make sure to include this? No, I mean, you have this case, I think we've made it as seamless and easy as we can. And, you know, if you guys do encounter any problems as you guys are going through the bill, then, you know, we're open to feedback.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah, that's one of the things that we sort of ask the community to, you know, give us some, give us some, you know, feedback as you guys are working with these products. we always aim for making the next generation or, you know, of our products overall, just better. Yeah, we were really trying to include the community as much as we can into our things.
Starting point is 00:40:46 During the in-person one, we literally had people come by and see our cases and everything like that and give us some feedback. So please, if you guys have built in one or, like, you know, you want to see something
Starting point is 00:40:57 that would make you want to buy it, please DM us or contact us. We're always interested in it. Is there, is there, like, a piece of feedback that you got from the community that you, like, it doesn't have to be in the H2, but, like, in anything that you, like, were like, oh, let's make sure we include us into cases.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Lately, it's more about stuff that probably informs on our future stuff. Okay. But overall, it's, it's, things that we've sort of known about but haven't really executed. Therefore, we'll be taking a lot more of those. And yeah, just kind of working it through each challenge, each problem. And hopefully delivering better products.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Let me see. I just want to show off. So we also have two PCs available right now for the H-THA. I think this is what it uses, right? To double check. Okay, yeah. Jaden, I'm going to show you guys the... Whoops, sorry. I have to swap over to this, Mike.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Sorry about that. But basically, we're working with Short Circuit or Linus Tech Tips, and this is the PC that we're giving away. It's going to be the Intel edition of the H2 Mini PC. We also have an AMD version. They're basically the same. except this one has an Intel Core Ultra I-9-285K versus the Ryzen is a Ryzen 799800 X3D.
Starting point is 00:42:50 But we're going to give away the Intel edition because Intel has been so gracious enough to help us give away a Intel PC. So super, super big shout out to Intel for that. But I'll give you guys the super codes and everything like that in a little bit. Do you have anything else that you want to bring up about the H2 or,
Starting point is 00:43:11 to new power supply or anything? No, I think we pretty much captured everything. But if you guys have any questions, do reach out to Mike and go direct those questions towards me. Yeah. So for those that are here, I'm going to go into a little bit of like the announcements that we have. We'll make this a relatively short podcast. This is our first like hands-on experience. I hope you guys like this.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I really do like seeing like being able to like take her around with the PC and everything like that and new cases. But we're giving away an Intel Core Ultra 9, 285K PC. Thank you to Intel and Schwarz Circuit for helping us do that. But because of Intel and thus them sponsoring our club, I'm going to give a quick shout out to them. We have an NXT Intel Club going on. Basically, we give away tons of free stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:05 We're giving away an additional PC on the club. Sorry, I have to do it this way. Sorry, I'm giving you guys double feedback, my bad. We're giving away a ton of free stuff. We're giving away shirts, plushies, gift cards, and the biggest prize of all, which is an Intel PC. You guys go to nccc.co slash club, sign up and participate in the community to earn poochie points.

You guys can do exclamation point H2 flow in the chat or exclamation point new stuff, and you guys go to ncccc.com and check out R2KSupply, power supply, if you're listening from ZadCloud or Spotify. As you can see right here, the PC, this is not the exact PC that we have, but you guys have
Starting point is 00:45:20 the ability to get two H2 PCs for a limited time. Both of them come with 32 gigabytes, a DDR5 RAM, which we all are expensive right now, two terabytes of storage and a 5080, but you have your choice between an Intel CPU or an E&D CPU. Okay, now we are doing an H2 PCP. giveaway with our friends at Short Circuit and thank you special thank you to Intel again for helping us give away this PC it is US only I know I'm sorry we're working on it sorry guys I'm working on it but the uh xclamation point H2 PC giveaway there are there is a secret code out a code word that will give you a thousand extra entries and I'll give that out soon and on top of that we also have an Intel hoodie mouse pad and shirt giveaway
Starting point is 00:46:11 going on for this podcast as well that I will also give the secret code word for so let me go ahead and give the code word for this is for the podcast one so podcast 218 give away so for this giveaway here the secret code word is fun-sized Kevin because the code word for the short-circuit Intel PC giveaway is FunSized Linus. So we have special thanks to Kevin. He is our code word for today's podcast. And then Fun Size Linus is the code word for the Intel and Short Circuit H2 PC giveaway. So that's it.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Kevin, do you have anything do you want to say before we head out? You could just plug anything or anything like that or give a shout out. No, thanks Mike. and this was the first of maybe many more to come. Oh, yeah. Not, I mean, we're releasing so many. So I think this is a really cool one. We'll change it up.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I'll make it a little more professional. We just did this last minute just to see if it works. And honestly, I think I really like this a lot. Yeah, let us know what you guys think. Yeah, we'll level it up a little bit. Yeah, maybe we can code for product room. Well, I know we can't show too much of it, but we'll see. But thank you guys for joining us.
