The video launches with Linus recalling their CES 2017 exposure to Corsair's Concept Slate and hints at a new, ambitious build. He teases that this is one of only two prototypes and immediately pivots to big plans: a dual-rig setup housed in the slate, with an 18-core workstation in front and a second, gaming-oriented rig in the rear. The host and crew outline the scale of the project, emphasizing how much space and ability the case provides, including 360-degree tempered glass coverage, large air filters, and expansive internal mounting. The segment then shifts into a rapid overview of the Slate’s architecture, detailing its dual-motherboard layout, space for multiple GPUs, abundant NVMe and SATA storage, and an extreme cooling and lighting ambition. The team describes their initial parts list and the dry fit to ensure compatibility, treating the slate as a mullet build,business in the front for content creation, the back reserved for gaming, all within a single chassis. They discuss why two high-end systems are the goal, with plans to run a workstation-capable setup featuring two motherboards and multiple PCIe lanes, while planning to keep the aesthetic white and RGB-driven. In parallel, they reveal a Corsair power plan with the AX1500i and discuss cable management to keep the exterior clean and cohesive. The video closes the first part by promising further testing, with baseline air-cooled temperatures as a prelude to upcoming water-cooling and radiant upgrades. Expectation builds for part two as the team teases more aggressive cooling and customization to fill the massive case, while also giving a nod to accessory partners and a lighthearted tease about the next steps.
