- Hey guys, this is Austin,

and today I'm making a very questionable decision.

Oh god, this is so heavy.

This, actually I don't even know what it is.

You know it's serious though when you send it

in a freaking crate.

(Austin drilling)

- Okay

Alright.

- [Ken] Whoa!

- [Austin] What?

- [Ken] Come take a look at the front.

- [Austin] PS4?!

(upbeat techno music)

- Wait, wait.

Look, look at the back, Look at the back.

Look at the back.

So, you can see this is the PC part,

you know, you got you motherboard and everything.

Look at this, You've got a power input an HDMI and a USB.

Did they build a PS4 into a PC case?

Is that the title of the video right now?

- [Austin] Remove internal before start up.

I wonder if anyone's actually ever tried to

turn it on with all that?

Like, "Hm, my brand new gaming PC!

"Looks a little weird inside but whatever!"

Oh damn, all right, we got a 2080 Ti!

What is this cable?

It's going from PCI slot and it's going,

It's being routed to the back?

Is it like a capture card that's built into the PS4, maybe?

- [Ken] That's probably what it is,

so you can, you can run both.

- Ohhh! Okay - [Ken] Simultaneously.

- Alright, so we open up the back of the case

- [Ken] Surprise me!

- [Both] Ohhh! (laugh)

- [Ken] There it is, yeah!

Wait, they water cooled the--

- [Austin] They water cooled the PS4!

And they put, ah, that's so cool!

- [Austin] Dude, this is like the ultimate

PS4 streaming box.

(cardboard rustling)

- Ohhh, A Scuf controller, you say?

Okay, all right, all right.

- [Austin] So...

(Ken laughing)

What?

(Ken laughing)

- [Ken] Ohhh!

- [Austin] What?

Ohhh, What?!

What?

(Austin laughing)

Did Matt put them up to this?

Are you serious?

- [Ken] Hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait.

- What do we got here, Ken?

(Ken giggling)

He's speechless.

(Matt giggling)

- No way better way to kick off the New Year

than with the sponsor of today's video, Audible!

Now with Audible, not only do you get access

to a wide variety of Audible originals,

which are high quality audio books that you'll only find

on Audible but they even have a brand new

New Year's challenge.

If you listen to three audio books between now

and March 3rd, you will get $20 of Amazon credit.

It's that simple, you don't have to sign up

for anything, just listen to some audio books

and you get free money!

'Cause free is good, right?

Now, if you're looking for a new audio book to listen to,

I recommend the "Console Wars" by Blake Harris.

In fact, it's so interesting we did an entire

This Is episode all about it.

However, when you go to sign up for Audible,

not only do you get any audio book,

including "Console Wars" if you'd like for free,

but you also access to two Audible originals

and all you need to do is go to Audible.com/Austin

or you can text "Austin" to "500 500".

Again, that's Audible.com/Austin

or text "Austin" to "500 500"

and a huge thank you to Audible for sponsoring this video!

- Alright, ready?

(upbeat techno music)

Oooh!

Okay. So, the PC part is definitely firing up, no problem.

What I don't see is anything going on

for the PS4 side.

How do we get PS4 to turn on?

- [Ken] Well, to be fair.

- Yes?

- [Ken] So, this one's not turning on or spinning

- [Austin] Yeah?

- [Ken] But that's the one that actually cools the PS4.

- Ohhh, you are very, very correct!

So, maybe we need to get the PS...

But I just don't see how we're supposed to be

turning on the PS4 right now.

- [Ken] YOLO.

(upbeat techno music)

Nope.

(Austin laughing)

- [Ken] that just restarted the computer, I'm sorry.

- Yes, that button did exactly

what that button looks like it's going to do, um...

So, after some technical difficulties,

we have finally gotten our Big O fixed.

It was slightly damaged in shipping,

however, I have to give Origin props.

So, this is a prototype system

but even just in the last few weeks

since we started working on this video,

they've actually updated a few things

on our specific system.

So, now we have a Noctua fan as well as bracket

for the capture card.

Now this is certainly not final,

and some of the things that they're working on

is adding a legitimate power button.

So, right now when you go to plug it in,

you have to turn it on with the controller

but, now you'll actually be able to use

a power button and they also are adding an ethernet jack.

So, those are the two of the things

that when I initially looked at it, I was like, "Eh..."

But they're working on it for the final version.

Take a look here, in OBS we have a 4K 60 feed of Battlefront,

so I can move around and everything works just fine.

But on top of that, we're of course running full Windows.

Now the real idea behind this system

is that, first and foremost, I think most people

are going to be interested in this for streaming

because with a single computer,

you're of course having all the power you want,

you can load it up with everything up to

like a 2080 TI and a Core i9,

but the cool thing is you have a PS4,

you have a XBOX built in with the capture card.

So, this is all I need to play and stream games

at the same time but if you really want to be extra with it

you can theoretically have like a second TV hooked up,

be playing PS4 on one side,

be playing PC games on the other side,

streaming it, doing whatever you want,

and it's all in one single box.

Is it for everyone, absolutely not!

When it comes to building the ultimate PS4,

well, adding a PC on this side's pretty cool.

Well, the only slight down side

is that while you do have a lot of things

that they will be adding, like ethernet

and everything like that, you still do not

have a disc drive, so you will need to

install discs digitally,

however, with a one terabyte SSD to your PS4,

not exactly the end of the world.

So, let's play, single player 'cause I suck.

So inside Windows, I will start recording,

so, we should have a 4K 60 feed.

And now if I switch back to the PS4.

Now, mind you, what you should be doing here

is using two different displays, not one,

but I only have one here

so I'm just switching back and forth.

This is certainly not final hardware,

but I've got to say the Big O is fairly quiet,

especially considering we have a Core i9,

and RTX 2080 Ti, and of course a full PS4 Pro

built in as well.

Oh, that HDR's real.

(beeping)

Whoa, what?

"The PS4 is too hot, turn off the PS4 and wait

"until the temperature goes down."

(acoustic guitar)

Oh...

Oh, okay, um...

So, now would be a good time to mention

that the thermals are not final yet.

Um... So, I can immediately tell

that it's quite hot on the sides.

Ooh, yeah, that's almost 50 degrees

with this exhaust right here.

So, looking at it here, I mean,

the capture card is warm, which makes sense,

it's a capture card.

But the actual PS4 internals

don't seem to be particularly warm.

I mean, yeah, there's definitely some heat up by like

the power supply but nothing that I would consider

to be incredibly dangerous.

What's interesting here is if you take a look

at the thermal solution, it's actually a little bit unusual.

So, inside, what you have here is you have

a 240mm radiator, which is dedicated for the CPU.

Fine, reasonable, but on top of that,

we also have our 120 mm radiator,

which is dumping all the heat from the PS4.

Then we have one additional fan.

Now, I wonder, in their testing, Origin claims

that they're able to play a PC game maxed out

as well as the PS4 and have no issues.

However, this has been running for maybe 30 minutes now

and we're getting, yeah, "PS4 is too hot" warnings.

I don't want to be too unfair, this is still a prototype,

they still have a lot of work that they can do with this,

however, it does concern me that's a lot of power, right?

And consider that, it's starting to get a little warm

and we don't even have a game running on the PC right now.

Okay, so, PS4 is running,

let's go ahead a fire up a Deus Ex benchmark

and see what happens.

So, like, right now, our CPU is only at about 65 degrees.

So, the CPU is well within temperature.

Um, on the PC side.

So, the PC doesn't seem to have any major issues.

It does seem like the real issue here is PS4.

I think it is holding up,

I'm definitely not...

Dying right now.

- [Ken] It hasn't turned off yet.

- [Austin] Yeah, like realistically,

this is a high end PC

with basically a kind of,

a three quarters of another gaming PC

that also has to cool with the PS4.

Like, I get the idea,

but if you take a look at the backside,

obviously, this is plenty of room

for the PS4 motherboard and everything,

but the fact is still have to cool that,

and that little exhaust fan in the back is,

I think, way more so for like cooling the VRM

and like the power supply,

the main chunk of heat is definitely going into

the PC side of the case with the 120 mm radiator.

And I'm not totally convinced that

that's going to be enough.

I kind of think though that a 240 mm radiator up front

is going to be necessary, but as of right now,

I think it is a very cool concept,

but I'm really curious to see exactly what the final version

looks like when it goes on sale!

At some point, in the future.

Or maybe we should try the Xbox one next?

(upbeat techno music)

Oh, that's...

I actually didn't wear this shirt

intentionally today on purpose.
