The video provides an in-depth look at the iBUYPOWER Revolt 2, showcased in the iBUYPOWER suite at CES 2016. Linus describes a substantial departure from the original Revolt, maintaining the compact concept but shifting to a design where the graphics processing unit takes center stage. The front of the case prominently features a GPU illuminated by RGB lighting, with options for solid colors, breathing, or a rainbow cycle to suit user preference. Inside, the power supply is mounted in the middle of the chassis, above the CPU area, which is unusual for ITX builds and changes how air is drawn for cooling. The design supports flexible cooling with up to a dual 120 mm radiator or a single 120/140 mm option, enabling a potential AI cooling loop that can manage both CPU and GPU temperatures. Front storage bays and IO are streamlined, including two 2.5/3.5 inch drive mounts, USB 3, front audio, and a front power button. A custom Linus Tech Tips side panel demonstrates iBUYPOWER’s capability for personalized branding, and the video teases a future deconstruction video to show the internal cable management and build philosophy in more detail. Linus emphasizes that iBUYPOWER is a boutique system builder and that the Revolt 2 represents a versatile, visually striking system aimed at enthusiasts who value a compact form factor with powerful GPU options, cooling flexibility, and unique aesthetics. The segment closes with an invitation for viewers to suggest what they want to see disassembled or reassembled in a future video, and a plug for Squarespace as the CES sponsor, highlighting the ongoing collaboration and the broader coverage of the event.
