Exquisite, small, portable, high value... The objects that combine these labels are often favored by everyone. In recent years, ITX host has become the first choice for more and more players by virtue of its small size, no space, exquisite and sensible design, suitable for placing desktops, light and portable features, and effortless handling.
However, it has many pain points and difficulties. When you dig deeper into them, you know how to avoid pitfalls, take fewer detours, and don't spend money unjustly.
What are the pain points and difficulties of ---- ITX hosts? ----
The first is the cost of installation. Because of the particularity of the ITX host, it is necessary to purchase ITX motherboard, SFX small power supply, etc. Imagine that the difficulty of densely arranging those many parts on a small PCB board can be imagined, and the manufacturing cost is naturally high. In addition, like ITX motherboards pay more attention to materials, the price is more expensive than M-ATX, or general ATX motherboards, SFX small power supply is the same reason, and the price of ITX chassis is not cheap. On the whole, under the same performance, ITX hosts are obviously more expensive than ordinary hosts.
The second is the compatibility issue. Due to the pursuit of extreme compactness, the SIZE of the ITX chassis cannot be large. We see some ITX chassis, the interior space is very compact, it is not too much to describe it as "little land". Many ITX chassis can only be equipped with a display platform, and the game performance has shrunk significantly, and it is difficult to play games with ITX consoles! And some ITX chassis can install graphics cards, internal space also causes great waste, graphics card fans almost stick to the bottom of the chassis, installation to take a lot of effort. Installation is difficult, thread management is more difficult, accessory wire is too long to occupy space, and chaos.
Then there is the heat dissipation problem. The hardware in the chassis is a heat source, such as the heat-generating CPU, M.2 solid-state drive, as well as the motherboard power supply area, memory, power supply, etc., running up the heat rolling. In the past, ITX chassis often could not install a slightly larger air-cooled radiator, not to mention the 240 integrated water cooling, and the high-end CPU was very uncomfortable. Also to solve the problem of heat accumulation inside the chassis, many players complain that the ITX chassis has no air duct to speak of, the heat inside the chassis cannot be channeled in time, the hardware will be under high temperature, not only the performance is limited, but the long-term will also affect the life of use.
Finally, there is the problem of appearance. Players install ITX hosts for the sake of the neat and beautiful desktop, but the hardware is densely packed and appears to be very supportive. Cable management, side transparency, RGB lighting... These seem far away from the player. Therefore, how to make the hardware more perfect is also one of the difficulties of the ITX host.
After talking to everyone so much, have you found that in addition to the cost problem can not be avoided, other problems are due to the ITX chassis. I've been wondering why the design of the ITX chassis can't be more innovative. ---- not only high value (play RGB lighting, play side transparency), but also strong compatibility (can install independent graphics cards, etc.), but also cool heat dissipation (can be installed 240 integrated water cooling, can be installed fans, to ensure the smoothness of the internal air duct of the chassis) ... It was difficult, but Xingu did it.
--- an ITX chassis that will revolutionize your perception---
Xingu launched a new ITX chassis called "Slash Youth", as the name suggests, Slash Youth does not take the usual path, allowing us to re-understand the ITX chassis: in a limited space, create unlimited energy.
The slash youth ITX chassis innovatively features a hyperboloid glass design that is integrally shaped like a super sea view room. According to my understanding, this should be the first of the ITX chassis, so that our line of sight is no longer limited to single-sided side transparency or double-sided side transparency, but to achieve three-sided three-dimensional visualization, the internal hardware at a glance, placed on the desktop is the face value.
Its internal space is also quite generous, can install 200mm long graphics card, compatible with almost all brands of RTX 3050, RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti model ITX graphics cards, ITX host performance can also be very strong. And the slash youth ITX chassis installs graphics cards in a very special way, supporting 90 degree vertical installation. This hoisting method effectively saves space while also making the appearance of the graphics card perfect.
The slash youth ITX chassis can also be installed with 240 water cooling, standard with reverse fan blade cooling fan, and the heat dissipation space modularization, to solve the traditional ITX chassis water cooling, power supply, motherboard in the same space heat is difficult to dissipate. The matching 240 water cooling and SFX power supply also uses customized wire to solve the pain points of difficult and chaotic wiring, and enhance the user's sense of installation experience.
As Xingu proposed the product Slogan: slash youth, play without borders. The itX chassis is not limited to tradition, redefining the ultimate pursuit of ITX. Its emergence solves the difficulties and pain points of traditional ITX chassis to a certain extent. I think it's a chassis worth sending friends, and the desktop is different because of its existence.
