But according to your avatar, you are a fan. Pun definitely intended.

Ya, I want one. Needs support for dual GPUs first though, then I'm totally on-board.

for the people that hope this gets opened anyway, bad luck not only is it contractual forbidden, but the fluid inside is also not very friendly for people or the environment, better off keeping it closed inside that thing.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Uh, Linus... IR radiation doesn't travel through glass, so all of those nice photos you took are invalid. Only the headspreader on the back of the case doesn't have a pane of tempered glass between it and the camera.

 

100% accurate assessment. also reflective surfaces have a much lower emissivity so calibration to compensate is needed.

Can confirm.  I have a thermal camera, and a case with a glass sidepanel. The sidepanel totally blocks IR. The FLIR MSX technology is screwing you over here.

If they can actually sell the cooling setup for $500 that would probably sell quite well. I'd be interested.

A 5820k and one 1080? HAHAHAHA xD

Here in Paris, for a main game convention, they partnered w/ a retailer and had a PC of other scale laying around, "The most powerful PC on Earth [EXCLUSIVE]", they said, but then I look at what's inside :

  • 2 Broadwell-based Xeon E5 (they made a typo saying they were 2634 v4, lol; hadn't been able to get someone to tell me)
  • 3 GTX 1080
  • The same Asus Z10pe D8 WS mobo used for 10 gamers 1 PC
  • A Smg 950 pro ssd
  • 2 Seasonic passive PSU (I believe the Calyos employee told me they were 650w)
  • A BIG heatsink (as you can tell in the pics)

Although it was supposed to run and at least show the windows desktop, it apparently crashed and wasn't stable anymore when they tried to install BF1 on it... for... some reasons :|

But the guy told me it was running fine, as far as to run 3dmark benches, adding that the issues were probably psu-related (?).

Two days later, I see a video from Linus talking about it :D

Now this is actually very cool. Now imagine they create an actual nice case in the mid range size. And make it so it's easy to change mount for different platforms.

There's so many things. Imagine being able to buy a new gfx card without cooler on it and save money because you're only buying the board.

Not having to buy fans, radiators, worry about dust filters or fan controllers. Any of that stuff.

Nope....Just nope.

My cooling solution for my system drops all the case fans down to 0 RPM when under light to moderate load. It is half the size and a quarter of the weight and easily works with any off the shelf components you choose. I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned this rig is hugely impractical and is most likely starving all of the other passively cooled components of much neede fresh air.

That's pretty cool. But even cooler is the fact that you can buy such a system for ~3200€ from a company that I don't know if I am allowed to post because it could be "advertising of any non LTT/LMG material". 
But the System packs an i7 6700K and a GTX1080 on an ASUS Z170-A mainboard with 32GB of RAM. All powered by a 560W PSU.
They also have 19" Servers, low-end Office-PCs and AiO-Systems all silent.
So the concept of a "TRULY Silent Workstation" isn't that new.
It may not be as cool as the system from Calyos but at least you can actually buy one.

For something that weighs 77lbs, you could get a CaseLabs S8+pedestal, stuff it with four GPU's and water-cool the entire system with four big radiators. Minimal maintenance yes, but the CPU and GPU would all be running cooler than this Frankentower, you're looking at MUCH MORE performance and the system would still be quiet enough that you could carry on a quiet conversation sitting right next to the thing. It also wouldn't take a systems integrator to put together thanks to easy-to-get off-the-shelf parts. Using sound insulation padding on the case panels helps too.

 

Oh yeah, and when they bind you contractually from taking the thing apart, don't even bother about asking THE PRICE!!! Good luck ever trying to upgrade the thing.

 

Silent PC's will always be a compromise, and this obsession with fanless computers is a joke - the cons far outweigh the pros by a long mile.

Linus, using the thermal camera through the window is god damn stupid. For it to function, you have to carefully calibrate it according to the surface you are pointing at. So you pointing it at a reflexive surface is more or less stupid. Anyhow, still pointing at a matte surface has an accuracy of less than 60%.

Wow would love when the kit come available to save up to buy it

@LinusTechTips - HFC 245A (Pentafluoropropane, the refrigerant used herein) is part of a a group of chemicals known as HFCs. These are derivatives of CFCs which, having been used in fridges for several years before being banned, caused the Ozone layer holes on both the North and South poles.

 

HFCs are potent greenhouse gasses, trapping 2000 times the heat trapped by CO2.

 

Earlier this month, world leaders announced a deal (Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol) to end the production and use of HFCs in the coming years.
