Building the Ultimate Xbox One #Helpful Post

ey guys this is Austin you may have

caught our building the ultimate ps4

video where we may have gone just a

little bit over the top over this time

well I mean clearly we've kept things

completely rational and in no way

overkill whatsoever to start out with we

have something simple this is the

Seagate game drive SSD now this will

work on both the Xbox 1s as well as the

original Xbox one and the idea is pretty

simple this is a USB based SSD unlike

the ps4 which you can easily swap out

the stock drive for an SSD with the Xbox

the Inchon Drive is pretty much what you

get real advantage with an SSD like this

is going to be in performance so you

still have the standard hard drives

inside your Xbox one but not only are

games going to load faster from this guy

but it's also going to give you an

additional 512 gigabytes of storage so

one thing to know is that you don't

actually have to use a game drive for

the Xbox it supports any USB 3.0 tribe's

it's at least 256 gigabytes but for 200

bucks the game drive is not a bad deal

what if that's not enough that's where a

hub comes in so this is only going to

work on the original Xbox one but none

it does it give you an additional two

USB ports but it also will let you

install a full extra hard drive so

inside what we're getting here some

things that actually should match pretty

well with the Xbox one installing this

guy should be as simple as just lining

it up with the USB port on the side and

so right out of the box it doesn't

really add a lot of bulk to the Xbox so

you're getting those an additional USB

ports over here but the real start of

the show is what you can actually put

inside this guy pop-up in the back here

and you'll see our spot for a two and a

half inch hard drive now in theory you

could also put an SSD in here however

since we already have an SSD feel like

we've got to go and max the storage on

this guy so make sure that we're getting

the most out of the Xbox we have an

additional two terabyte hard drive so we

just need to attach this bracket and the

drive should just push slide into place

alright so as simple as that at least in

theory we added an additional two

terabytes of hard drive space to our

Xbox that's clearly not enough so that's

where the modular databank comes in with

this guy we can add an additional four

terabytes of capacity to our Xbox so

inside the box this is also fairly

straightforward but it's gonna require

maybe just a little bit more work

because unlike dropping a small hard

drive on the side this guy goes right on

top

all right this is already looking goofy

unlike the media hub this guy is

actually going to live on top of the

xbox and that's because it supports full

desktop three and a half inch hard

drives attached is it like magnetic wow

that's not magnetic

[Music]

so don't put your xbox upside down with

the data bank on but it is being held in

by something whether it's like adhesive

or magnet or something all we need to do

is just take off this top piece we can

get at the three and a half inch drive

vein installing this should be pretty

straightforward always do is line up

with our drive bay slide it all the way

back so it's fully seated and that

should give us an additional four

terabytes of capacity with our Xbox one

I am already really proud of how

ridiculous this looks and we're not even

done yet because next we have a

intercooler now if you remember from the

ps4 video we found that these really

don't add a whole lot of value it

marginally might cool your ps4 down just

a touch but over the Xbox one does have

a very different cooling solution

essentially right below this grate here

is a very large fan so in theory giving

that more air flow could help or it

could just be a complete waste of money

supposedly this will give us a 30% drop

in temperature which I find kind of hard

to believe but at least it does have a

couple of temperature sensors that will

tell us not only what the air

temperature is outside the Xbox but also

inside

so once the Xbox is cooled off after

you're done gaming for example in theory

the fan should shut off automatically so

on the bottom we've got a fairly

substantial looking fan but beyond that

it pretty much should just drop right

into place over the Xbox so the power of

the cooler it's assemble it just using

the included micro USB cable to take up

one of our USB ports on the back which

is kind of taking up all of our USB

ports but thankfully we have a bunch

more up front now so to take the

ridiculous one step farther we have the

Nyko charge base so if this is going to

let us do is charge to Xbox one

controllers on top of this monstrosity

the only difference between this and

normal controller is that this comes

with a separate backplate so once we pop

it on you'll see the contact for the

batteries on the back which means that

once we drop it onto the dock it should

automatically charge

there we go that's a proper Xbox one

setup right here so put the ultimate

xbox one over the top we have the xim4

now this little adapter is going to

allow you to use a mouse and keyboard on

a console specifically the Xbox one and

here we have the xim itself which kind

of looks like a glorified USB hub so

front we have a couple of USB ports as

well as one more on the back and micro

USB so with this in theory we will be up

and running with our Xbox one with a

mouse and keyboard or we could have just

got a PC so after about an hour of

fiddling with this to try to get it all

to work we now have a mouse and keyboard

support for Xbox one this is not the

most elegant solution what you have to

do is you have to run an original Xbox

one controller into this guy a mouse and

keyboard into it and then it goes out

via USB and it also just disconnected

but it really just break so once we get

everything up and running it works

pretty well so the way the xim4 works is

that you actually pair it with your

phone and you can sync over different

profiles so right now I'm playing the

original titanfall but there are

profiles for most games for ps3 ps4 Xbox

360 Xbox one and something I appreciate

about this is that there's really not a

lot of latency now sure you can notice

maybe a touch of you're really paying

attention but as far as I'm concerned it

feels like I'm just playing on a PC but

is this worth all the extra complexity

and hassle I'm not so sold I think that

it's a useful thing if you're trying to

build the ultimate Xbox one it totally

works but it's a lot of extra hassle and

honestly if you're just doing this by PC

so takeaway Shin the ultimate Xbox setup

first of all this is obviously overkill

you shouldn't do this to your Xbox it's

dumb but there are some interesting bits

and pieces in here so to start with the

Antec x1 cooler it's sort of interesting

it works well but it's not useful the

Xbox one is so over built with cooling

that this is really not going to make a

significant difference as far as getting

a charge station for the Xbox it's not

really that useful I mean it is nice to

be able just drop an Xbox controller on

but there are other options they're not

mounted on top of the controller that

make it look super ridiculous the hard

drive situation is a little bit more

calm

located so the Xbox only supports a

maximum of two additional drives on top

of what's inside so right now we have

the four terabyte drive connected and we

could get the SSD or we could get the

two terabyte drive all in together but

it's only going to see two of the three

at any given time now unless you really

need all seven terabytes that once it's

not only a big issue and honestly I do

really appreciate how easy it is to

expand your storage with the Xbox

whether you want just lots of space with

a normal hard drive or a really fast as

a steed so what do you guys think about

this totally not overkill Xbox one setup

let me know in the comments below

but if you guys want links to any of

this stuff they will be in the

much for watching and I will catch you
