Thank you again Linus for the sponsors, that's why i come here~ you made my day ♥
hmm maybe i will maybe i wont
Seriously? 65€ for two metal plates held together with a rubberband? Why are you guys promoting that thing
I really wish i could meet you some day Linus because i have learned soo many different things from you videos such as SLI, and you really did motivate me in learning soo much more about computers, i even helped my friend pick out parts for his next desktop. Btw, i Think you are hilarious when you are building a pc with a guest.
How is that thing actually supposed to be a wallet, it only holds cards.
Fully passive in this form factor and with this kind of heat dissipation is actually great engineering. Props to Compulab
@@bradhaines3142 oof that would be tough, you'd have to have the heat pipes transfer the heat to the back of the screen. Then you could use convection.
ya, it's really well done. personally i'm amazed that it causes as much air flow as it does through convection. That is insane, since normally such air currents you maybe could notice. But here it's powerful enough to spin a pin wheel. Though I pity the team that designed that, since the models they must have to created to test out such a system surely took ages.
@@bradhaines3142 yikes
@@Chris-hw4mq An Axial Fan along the depth of the casing.
U know, the drum blower type.
@@bradhaines3142 just make laptop with iPPC Noctuas, 1 fan could easily cool high end gpu and cpu if heatpipes are done right
Honestly this is once of the best engineered PC's ever. They literally said screw the price let's build the best we can and they did. Nice job
And to be honest, the price isn't that bad considering it's a i9 9900K and a Quadro RTX 4000 or whatever the gpu is called, to me that's a decent deal if I needed something that was small and fanless and packs a punch, $3500.
Eh, enterprise prices for things are BS no matter what.
@Ádám Bezzegh We've ordered 23 of them. Enough for you?
@@yattasuccess9212 What he said. To build something like this yourself would cost a lot more than that, especially if you include your time, and it would likely be nowhere near as small. The benefit to their design is that they can make it in quantity which makes it much cheaper for the consumer to buy. You get all the hardware on top of the fact that you also get their man-hours in design and years of prior experience building this type of cooling hardware. $3,500 is a welcome price. I know people personally who have built full tower desktops for more than that, and likely aren't even getting the same kind of performance this little monster is. 10/10, would buy if I had the dough.
@@LazySmurf The graphics card is the real killer for the price. 1.2k for the graphics card alone. The rest of the machine costing only a little over $2,000 for the latest hardware and either Linux or Windows Preinstalled along with any amount of RAM or SSD memory you want. I would be more than willing to buy either this one or the next one once the desktop I am currently using craps out.
I always wanted to play games on a WiFi router!

Not popular enough, at least with 2018 RAM and storage pricing, sorry. :(
Offered with GTX1660 Ti & Quadro RTX 4000
There’s ‘build yr own’ option, on website 😇
To be honest this is actually very well priced for what it is capable of.
I would gladly pay the price if I needed something like this.
if you go look at the part list though, a lot of it is pretty overpriced.
@@beardalaxy That's always the case when you consider a prebuilt pc to a custom one. Considering the engineering that went into the design of this particular PC though, I think the price is pretty well justified.
@@Ali-fl5mb i just think it would be better if they had a base price that was a bit steeper and then relatively normal prices for the other parts
Is it even possible to build a fanless almost no noise PC that compact and that powerful at the same price? because as far as I can tell theres no mainstream manufacturer of PC components that would allow you to build something like this. So trying to emulate it would take custom built coolers and case.
@@ach3909 Your best bet would probably be the TNN300 or 500 from Zalman, they were predecessors of this concept in some ways, though significantly less compact (the 500 in particular) and not designed to accommodate most modern MB layouts.
Frankly $3500 is not that crazy for a niche extreme PC build.
would you like the 1000 dollar stand with that?
it might be worth it, but they're just flexing their market freedom atm.
It makes more sense than buying Mac Pro thing that doesn't look like a trash can. Sounds like it could cook bacon or make jerky. Yes my favorite group of edgy Canadians these ideas are free gratis from the mouth of Al Swearingen's great great grand cousin. In honor of my snowbound buddies I didn't say cocksucker even once. Nor mutherfuck anyone!
@@ReeseL4D imgur.com/SMDeS0o
especially for an engineering computer. My CAD workstation was $3K when I bought it, so $3500 is right inline.
Neojhun . There are plenty of other manufacturers that sell nice he PCs that probably won't get the same leniency you gave this.
Perfect for scientist in Antarctica. Fully functional space heater
Don't deliver more heat than a normal pc
@@bobthegoat7090 yeah 2080 ti would be better for heating your house
or maybe two :P
I mean, any performance pc will generate a ton of heat. I left my office door closed yesterday while my OC'd, water cooled 8700k/ 1080ti rig was just transferring files and I came back to a room that was about a sweltering 85-90 F (with home ac running). The cooling methods are just about transferring that heat.
That would be the perfect marketing for an AMD version.
"Thirty five...."
Oh god...
"....hundred dollars"
Phew!

way cheaper than i expected
Doesn't seem much when you compare it to Apple.
@@WigglyWings just add $999 for stand...
This ain't Apple.

your guy always seems nervous and it makes me feel nervous.
@@rd8586 Chill dude. The fact that you are nervous causes me to get nervous.
@@anposen4637 should i get nervous?! Damn, now, i am...way to go :(
Yes, Alex is definitely my favorite. Cute, smart, nice voice, great personality. He seems to be nervous sometimes, but there is no need for that.
I don’t know, I’m not feeling as entertained when he’s the host. Don’t get me wrong, but I feel more interest in watching a Linus episode I think.
I hope this tech becomes standard in the future, so that the price can drop significantly.
Yes plz, to consols too:)
@@Rubmaster what ? What the fuck is the point of that sorry consoles are dead
@@tomasjolin2298 Consoles will be around for a *long time,* as long as they have a Disc Drive and used games. I love having a physical copy, and if available, a soundtrack CD and metal case.
Amein.
@@Nighterlev that would add no more than 50-100 bucks extra cost to a pc price when seriously mass produced, also the cooling capacity requirements will come down as the technology advances, and even if not it´s possible to make a cooling system like that much more powerful than it´s on this one. if the goal is a silent system that is not achievable with fans
I think we may have broken the configurator on compulab's website.
Excellent job, Alex!
Not offering a version of this with a consumer GPU seems like a missed opportunity.
edit : People have pointed out numerous times as a response that it is available as well.
The point is to be fanless. Not to mention the gpu is pretty great anyways so if you want to do some side gaming with your work station is plenty.
Otherwise your better of building something with a evga 2080 ti and a 9990k with a really nice noctua cooler.
SteelSkin667
wait for the Flush!
@@Tofuey Well they could slap a Geforce RTX 2070 instead of the Quadro RTX 4000 and still have it be fanless, these use the same silicon and have the same TDP. I feel like you missed the point of my comment.
You mean for gamers? Nah, gamers love RGB and refrigerator-sized full tower nonsense to waste desk space.
On the Compulab website, they have a model called the Airtop G (instead of 3) that has an i7 and a GTX 1060. It's an older model, and has been discontinued, but perhaps they will update it soon?
ACTUAL good tech, what a nice piece of engineering. It's such a clever and never seen before design, I love it !
"Look at this amazing $3500 fan-less PC!"
Wow neat.
"Its very durable!"
Hey that's pretty coo-
*Hits with hammer*
...
yeah they had to replace the harddrive from the pc because the disk crashed inside due to the vibration of the hammer hitting the computer now they have all ssd's to prevent that from happening agian just as long as linus doesnt drop it it wil be fine
He hit it with a mallet which is a rubber hammer. You could hit a lot of computers with that as hard as he did and it would be just fine. Still a sweet PC though.
@@CoyoteFeral r/woooosh
Man I love fanless design. No worrying about dust, no fan noise, and one less moving part (fan) to have to worry about. Plus it helps when you live North of the Wall.
Flufflebut hey Mongolian!
I find the noise argument funny because most of the time you wear a headset/headphones with decent noise canceling
I'm really digging the funny little skits in the middle of reviews. Production value keeps going up, awesome job guys :D
Riley is absolutely hilarious I loved his ncix stuff too
So nice to see the Murdock brothers working together again.
Yes sure, and the titles keep sucking more
Because a 100 thousand dollar camera didnt raise the production value. Or the team of editors.
Did anyone notice Riley's weirdly webbed fingers?
Honestly, that design is pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeously engineered. Would make for an insane barebones kit.
you can get the lowest spec conf, with no internals except for a Celeron, for the small small price of $999 without taxes or shipping! fit-iot.com/web/product/airtop3-celeron-barebone/
The issue with that is the GPU is a custom design
@@DeeSnow97 not exactly... (:
@@brytonmassie768 i reckon upgrading or user own customizing the pc aftersale is not really what they intended
Compared to an iMac or MacBook Pro, this is positively overpowered and reasonably-priced. I'd like to see this Compulab rig do a head-to-head with an iMac Pro.
you do know that the imac pro was made for video production? its much more powerful then that, plus they arent in the same field
@@jafarr6924 Its a computer like any other, just marketed toward a specific group of people. The only thing the mac specifically does is run Apple's first party applications for said tasks. With a more agnostic software selection, the Apple platform doesn't have any particular advantage if the hardware is the same. The iMac form factor is the worst case scenario given its limits.
Don't bother reasoning with him, he seems to be stoned

@@shadowblastxtreme9032 now is broken ?
@@makunouchiippo2542 how do you mean that?
If they managed to make the CPU and GPU mounting system manually upgradable, and then sold the case on its own, we'd have an industry winner right here.
I just hope these people realise what sort of a gold mine they're sitting on, and hop to it.
I think it is upgradeable, but just not as user-servicable like normal PCs so you may need to send the parts to the company. Still this looks much better than the MonsterLabo IMO
@@ccricers The problem is the non standard GPU.

Comparing it to $999 apple stand, it is a steal.

I prefer it without Linus whiney voice
That's a workstation!? That tinny thing has all that and no fan?! Be honest, you guys have a time machine don't you.
No, but they have tons of money.
the future is now old man
It's called engineering and it kinda took a while for some reason for this to happen at the price it is, something like this at other companies directly-focused to large multimedia farms or industries are not going to do this at this price and not at these specs, this really opens the market up by a lot.
I guessed $4000, $3500 seems almost reasonable. And unlike a certain fruit based company, it really looks like the engineering earned that priced
hooded death kermit
AirPods are the only Apple product that are actually well worth the money. $159 isn’t that much for the amount of tech you’re getting in that small of a size.
Tell me any other competitor that has simple pairing(just open the care and bam, no buttons) and truly wireless earbuds for less.
Edit: Corrected $169 to $159
@@gfjfjufidi2880 To be frank, its $159 plus the cost of an iPhone. Those features are only compatible with iPhone. Moreover, they only fit certain people. They can be prone to falling out or be uncomfortable due to the lack of changeable rubber or foam tips (something that has been standard for every other in-ear Bluetooth head set).
TBH, I agree with hooded death kermit, they are a fashion accessory like Blue Bubbles.
Apple products that are actually worth the money would be 2018+ iPad+pencil for Artist(due to the display tablet market being costly AF) and the Mac Mini(due to the 10gig ethernet and access to mac only software). Everything else is just overpriced for what you get.
This is an i9 9900k data workstation and what is basically a slower RTX 2070. Passively cooled, yes, but this is not exotic.
The Grater is a workhorse of a case designed to house a ludicrous Xeon W 28 core, and up to FOUR Vega IIs with 1.5TB of ram and a whole bunch of other PCIE cards and hard drives slammed into it while dissipating like 1500watts of energy... It is not designed to be "graceful" like the trash can Mac Pro.. Apple's Pro customers didn't want that bullshit, they wanted raw power at the expense of elegance, they wanted a beast again.
This is not even a comparison.
The new Mac Pro shouldn't even be discussed, it's not even suitable as a retail product, because traditional "consumers" aren't buying them, they're for build-to-order video / 3d production houses and big data projects.
@@neocitron The comparison is a fanless $3500 8 core with ~2070 equivalent card and loads of IO vs a Mac Pro 8 core with 580 pro for $6000 dollars which is being praised for barely meeting decades old standards.
You are comparing a $3,500 pc to the top spec Mac Pro which is about $35,000 dollars. I think we are the ones being fair.
But even so, it's not like apple invented Workstation hardware. Specing out the closest equivalent, 1tb Ram+32 core epyc+4 rtx 4000+everything else you need would still fall below $20,000. Apple is is still gouging "Pros" by nearly 100% of the already Pro markup for workstation hardware.
That $6000 Mac Pro has $3000 of workstation hardware that will perform like a $1500 gaming pc.
jimez86 I don’t think I’m disagreeing with you, it’s just that “people” don’t pay for these things per se. organizations generally do. I think Apple knows this and thus is trying to get every dollar from these production houses with the Mac Pro. Their pro pricing has always been a sore spot for everyone.
Yet, the $43000 Sony mastering monitor is about $36000 more expensive than the Pro Display XDR and LESS capable, so for video mastering pipelines, the display side of the equation is a total bargain.
You also seem to be discounting the io on the Mac Pro. The base model still has 8 pcie 16 slots and the power supply to provide for all of them at once.
Again, they’re just different systems. We’re also not talking about software, stuff like Logic Pro just isn’t found anywhere else. I love my windows gaming pc, but I also acknowledge my MacBook Pro has some advantages, in some areas, usually pertaining to creativity and workflow.
We also tend to forget that some pros have zero time to build and test their systems or even have no knowledge of building them, not all scientists are pc enthusiasts for example. And so they may be willing to pay a premium for a prebuilt system. Much of us on here discuss costs as if we ourselves are sourcing all the parts and building.
Your cinematography has gotten so much better in the last years !!! Thank you ! Keep on with the great work !
So this might be the future for cooling desktop pc. Just like ssd when they first released. Expensive at first but became cheap overtime.
doubted it. I think the heat spreader is kind of a non tubular version of the heat pipes called the vapor chamber. And this kind of heat transfer is superior compared to solid materials while not having some of the problems of liquid cooling.
@@samuelmendoza9356 I don't understand but that's thank for trying to explain 👍
@@MrSamHideki what I mean, is making them in an economical manner is not gonna be easy. And the easist one so far AFAIK is the tubular heat pipes. The heat spreaders on that computer is the box like vapor chamber, and making them doesn't seem to be easy as heat pipes. Not to mention the means of vacuuming them.
And NO MOVING PARTS AT ALL?
That should make for a pretty damn rugged system as well.

Cheap, fast, or reliable. You can only pick two, and this applies to all kinds of things in life.
That's actually very accurate.
Best case is you can pick two. Often you don't get any of them.

You need now the apple stand for everything to be perfectly balanced
We need to crowd fund a 3D printed Mac stand for $99.95 that's 4X stronger and 10X cooler looking. I'm not saying call it the Crossbow stand, but I would buy one for my monitor that has a perfectly functional stand already.
As a barebones system (no RAM or storage) it's $1510 with a GTX 1660 Ti and a Celeron (if you want to upgrade the CPU manually). With an i5-9500 its $1694, and $1851 with an i7-9700.
The GTX 1660 Ti adds almost $500 to the price but that's understandable as it requires custom hardware.
Expensive but might still be worth it for some.

Oh definitely in India. Though after knowing the price, one can only dream.
Wholly agree to this, I'm thinking DIY shops or wood crafters running these for design and CNc operation in a live production floor.
I'm gonna have to pitch that idea to my boss, all it would need for physical maintenance is the same air compressor we use for the actual mill
If they swapped out the CPU for an i3 T series and just nixed the GPU entirely then sure.
@@AdityaWaghmare buy the lowest config (1100$) and then you can upgrade it later , if you brave enough :)

Glad to finally hear a mention for engineers and scientists. Much of the technology showcased on this channel is really aimed at these groups - including and especially the server chips, which get packed in to clusters by the hundreds.
These are fantastic for small project recording studios that don't have separate recording and monitoring rooms and therefore have to have the PC inside the main recording room. The small size is perfect for that use case as well.

Make an all-AMD version, and I'm taking it.
Back in the early 80s, I had an XT clone that sounded like a jet taking off when turned on, and I had many noisy desktop PCs to follow. Since I did live music recording as a hobby, I used an acoustic shell (I made for a few dollars) to put over the computer while recording.
Laptops were very expensive, in comparison, but finally, around 2006, instead of buying a new desktop computer, I got a SONY Vaio laptop on sale which I used hooked up to a monitor etc. and the silence was a revelation. From then on that became a high priority when selecting a new laptop, that it had a quiet fan. This no-fan Compulab design needs to be copied on all computers.
Great production quality on this video, great product, great host :D
It's just about HALF the price of a new Mac Pro. And it has a friggin Quadro RTX 4000. And it's completely silent.
This is just ridiculous.
Yeah. That's what great design and engineering for professionals should look like. Not drilling a few holes into an aluminum case and calling it a day. I mean sure, the Mac Pro can be upgraded into oblivion, but its case design seems more like a toy in comparison.
Yeah but the Mac Pro has 8 pcie slots and a workstation cpu (Xeon)
@@sweatyylemonss5237 this also has pcie for gpu upgrades or swapping out the gpu for another device. And the chipset and socket are Xeon E compatible, so for the money you saved, you could very easily put on a Xeon. But you may not want to. All you'd gain is ECC support, which hardly anyone needs, even for professional workloads. And the i9 is noticeably faster.
@@sweatyylemonss5237 Yes, on higher upgrades the Mac Pro is still better. But that PC has an i9-9900k, 128GB RAM, 1TB SSD and a GTX1060 ti for half the price of the Mac Pro base model, even though it starts with $1000 for an empty case!
It's for a different target audience than the Mac Pro, but it shows well how damn overpriced Apple's upcoming PC really is.
I bet Linus still isn't willing to admit vapor cooling is better than archaic liquid cooling.
Well I guess that if he did, he would have no reason to throw together custom solutions and stuff x) I guess he just is a watercooling "fan", which I think actually is something he should keep. He just presents it in such a funny way in those custom watercooling videos xD
apple this is how you do silence.
a pathetic cooling solution is not the answer to silence
That was one of the best LTT videos in a long time imo! Amazing work.
Almost as amazing as this pc, that's crazy! I'm running a 1700X and 1080 in a Node 202 and while it doesn't throttle shit gets extremely hot and I have legit 8 fans in there....
If they can offer this PC with a Ryzen CPU and a consumer GPU for a decent price (maybe not so overkill IO) then I'm in!
This is one the best reviews on this channel! Kuddos!
versus the New MAC Pro 2019, it's reasonably priced
Fabulous until the end..... yike$. And you seem to have choked the link with the LTT effect.
Amazing machine and well done Alex.
so 360p only when Linus is on....btw where's Anthony?
He didn't do this review so why would he be here?
Most likely just been busy doing other things, he'll be back in a video soon I bet, people seem to like him! :) As they should, he does an excellent job!
He's busy doing crossfit
At the WAN Show Linus said that Anthony is working on a massive review project with a large amount of GPUS
Honestly the fact that it's passively cooled is HUGE for a reason mentioned in the video: Dust! I can imagine a lot of industrial environments where something like this would be really welcome. Not having to worry about your machine failing prematurely due to ingress of dust (especially conductive dust) or worry about it contaminating a clean room. Those situations would also favor using a terminal hooked up to a VM somewhere, but local machines are easier to setup and don't require robust networking. Definitely food for thought in this video.
I'm a bit biased toward Compulab desktops since I liked the previous one so much. This is perfect for VFX and color-grading. I'm glad to hear the new one is good. Will certainly buy (when i can afford it)!
I knew it was to good to be true it can do everything and still stay cool but whats the price tag $3500 woww!
come on its on linus show they arent going to go oh and the price 400 bucks plus the you pay a premium for small form factor anyway the price did not shock me at all
@@RK-zf1jm I was expecting minimum $1500 or $2000 but $3500. If its good for 10 or 15 years with an options to upgrade then yes.
@@ThePhantom712 you would pay 1500 if not 2000 alone for the parts in a normal sized pc if you buy them your self and not pre assambeld and if you swapped the rtx 4000 for a rtx 2070 so 3500 doesnt seem very much if you consider the rtx 4000 is 1200 its pre assambeld r&d cost for the case and that small form factor is allways more expensive
So buy mac pro instead))
$3500 is reasonable, what? The CPU itself is already more than a third of the cost, the CPU + RAM + SSDs will bump that to over $2000 already. Small form factors are instantly more expensive. The R&D costs for this must have been pretty high. And then there's all those heat syncs. It's good specs and performance for what is a very compact and well cooled PC. It's not bad at all.
When you let experts construct a real PC. btw: Riley is just awesome in his roles xD
When I was travelling for work a lot I might have considered this. Seems quite portable, add a nice 24" monitor and you have a portable workstation /gaming machine that could fit in a suitcase.
i like the way that like, different writers are getting a chance to have face time on these videos. makes me happy
