Linus Tech Tips takes us through the SilverStone CES 2016 booth and counts as the five products nobody asked for, plus one that apparently did. The host introduces a DIY wireless PCIe card kit, a PCI Express card that integrates power and reset controls and a remote fob, and a dual-direction computer fan that can spin in either direction, explaining how each item targets niche use cases or decorative aesthetics for enthusiasts. He also showcases an upgraded small form factor power supply, a jump starter capable device, and a rugged mammoth series hard drive enclosure that claims IP65 waterproofing and shock resistance. Throughout the segment, the team emphasizes the novelty of these items and their origin stories, including a crowd-sourced headphone wall-mount called EB02 born from a Linus Tech Tips community project with 3D-printed designs. The closer portion covers braided aluminum USB cables with reversible connectors, a dual-ended USB-C/Lightning cable, and a modular approach to multi-endpoint charging, highlighting SilverStone's willingness to explore quirky, bold hardware concepts. Finally, the video wraps with a reminder of Squarespace powering CES coverage and a call to subscribe for future updates while hinting at the next reveal at the show floor.
