Xingu Slash Youth: Behind the name, is the best looking ITX small chassis of the year?

Xingu officially launched the first ITX chassis designed with hyperboloid glass - "Slash Youth". This annual popular Mini-ITX small chassis, with a super high value, has received a lot of surprise and applause once it came out. Slash Youth ??? Although Chinese is catchy to read, I believe that most players, like me, are curious about the naming of products. What is the meaning behind such a special name?

What is Slash Youth?

The term slash youth is derived from the English slash, from the book "Dual Occupation" written by New York Times columnist Michael Alber, and refers to a group of people who no longer meet the "exclusive occupation" lifestyle and choose to have multiple occupations and diverse identities. These people will use slashes (/) to distinguish themselves in self-introduction, such as Zhang San, journalists/actors/photographers, and "slashes" have become synonymous with them.

The emergence of slash youth is not accidental, but an inevitable phenomenon of social development and the embodiment of progress. This progress not only frees human beings from the restrictions and shackles brought about by the "Industrial Revolution" and releases their nature, but also enables young people to pursue autonomous, pluralistic, and at the same time economically independent lives. Slash youth do not simply list their careers, but truly have the ability to switch between multiple industries in parallel and gain value. Nowadays, slash youth are becoming more and more popular and have become a popular way of life for young people.

It is also called Slash Youth:

After understanding the origin of slash youth, Na Xingu named this ITX chassis after "slash youth", and the meaning behind it is self-evident.

Who was the first to love ITX? A group of young people who pursue trendy personality and the ultimate experience. They become their own focus, do not follow the waves and do not follow the flow; follow the heart, all experiences are for the sake of growing up to meet themselves; they do not like to be bound, eager to control the initiative of life. They are the slash youth of our time. When Slash Youth played ITX Console, he met "Slash Youth", perhaps encountering love around the corner.

Different from the ATX chassis, the appearance structure design of the ITX chassis can be described as a variety of flowers. Under the whimsical idea, the "sentient beings" of the ITX chassis were born. Among them, the Xingu Slash Youth is definitely a maverick being. Its emergence has upended our traditional perception of the ITX chassis and redefined the ultimate pursuit of ITX.

How does Xingu Slash Youth play Borderless?

1. Hyperboloid glass, IMAX without boundary field of view

At present, the vast majority of ITX chassis on the market do not have a side-through design. Even if there is, whether it is single-sided or double-sided, the field of view is greatly limited. In the era of RGB, because the ITX chassis has nothing to do with the RGB lighting, it is obviously not in line with the personality and temperament of the slash youth.

Xingu slash youth innovatively adopts the flexible design of hyperboloid glass, tempered glass is formed in one piece, just like a sea-view room, equipped with floor-to-ceiling glass, to achieve three-sided visibility, so that players can experience what is IMAX borderless vision. The RGB hardware installed inside will emit RGB lighting effects that will be in full view.

2, the volume is small enough, it is called ITX

Players who play ITX pay more attention to the size of the chassis. After all, everyone is willing to spend money to buy more expensive ITX motherboards and SFX small power supplies, and naturally they are not willing to install them in an ITX chassis that is not called ITX.

In terms of size, the Xingu slash youth chassis is 26.9cm long, 23cm wide, 32.1cm high, with a total volume of 19.7 liters and an area of only 0.062 square meters. Such a small square box, really liberate your desktop.

3. Innovative ATX 3.1 structure, graphics card vertical installation

The installation of graphics cards has always been a major test for ITX chassis. Judging from the structure of the current ITX chassis, either the graphics card cannot be installed; or the installed graphics card is all blocked to the motherboard/memory/cold head, etc.; and even the graphics card is forced to be installed on the back of the chassis.

Xingu slash youth borrowed the structural design ideas of their own Kaiyuan series chassis, and innovatively launched the ATX 3.1 structure: the motherboard is installed horizontally, the graphics card is installed vertically, the space utilization is more reasonable, and there is no longer any need to sacrifice the appearance of the graphics card. At the same time, the force point of the graphics card is on the chassis, and the PCIe slot of the motherboard will not be deformed.

4, let the heart cool, so as not to be hot

Due to the small size of the ITX chassis, the internal space is quite limited, and almost all the hardware is next to each other, and the heat dissipation problem has always been a major problem that plagues the ITX chassis.

In a very small space of less than 20 liters, Xingu slash youth can still install 240 integrated water cooling to solve the problem of high-end CPU heat dissipation. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of traditional ITX chassis water cooling + power supply + motherboard heat accumulation in the same space, Xingu slash youth adopts modular shunt design. First of all, two 120mm reverse cooling ARGB fans are equipped as standard, which not only has the light effect of the divine light synchronization, but also provides a large air intake, blowing the inside of the chassis from bottom to top, with the top + back hollow position, quickly dissipating the heat in the chassis to ensure the normal operation of the hardware.

5, it can be installed, the performance is not compromised

Everyone is shopping for ITX chassis and is very concerned about compatibility. Xingu slash youth supports the installation of 240mm water cooling, which means that it can meet the heat dissipation needs of high-end CPU; if the graphics card is compatible with a length of 200mm, it can only install itX graphics card. Fortunately, now ITX graphics cards have RTX 3060Ti, RTX 3050 models launched, such as Asus RTX3060TI-8G-MINI-V2 LHR (200mm), Rainbow RTX3060 Mini OC 12G L (182mm), these mid-range dessert graphics cards can be installed. With the Xingu slash youth, group an i7-12700+ RTX 3060/RTX 3060Ti performance platform, play 3A masterpiece is still no pressure.

Write at the end:

This is the Xingu Slash Youth Mini-ITX chassis!!

As the name suggests, Slash Youth's exterior design, internal architecture, compatibility performance, and thermal performance are different. As a veteran domestic mechanical and electrical brand, Xingu also hopes to use slash youth to create a good-looking, powerful ITX chassis and re-establish the image of the brand.

Finally, I would like to say that this is a chassis worth sending a circle of friends, redefining the ultimate pursuit of ITX! How about such slash youth, do you like it?
