To those saying "this is clearly meant for a car, not a PC!" Nope, this really was sold and marketed as a PC add-on :) Here's another look at the device: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJefmrWlZ5i9Xaw.html Not only was it created by Thermaltake as a desktop computer add-on, as stated both on the packaging and the websites shown in the video, but _standard vehicle head units are wider_ -- typically 7⅛" across. You can ignore their badly-Photoshopped image of the Alfa Romeo 156 center console on the packaging, which they stretched to fit the Xray and a Thermaltake Hardcano 12. twitter.com/lazygamereviews/status/1215664862577283073 Yes, the package says it's for "car expansion accessories," but that means things like the 12V DC adapters I showed in the video. English translation was not one of Thermaltake Taiwan's strongest points and there are plenty of other awkward translations on the package, too. Sure, you _could_ probably install the Xray in a vehicle. But that is not what it's designed for and I am not making up its intended purpose.

@@Themunit1 If i plug in a 200w device to a battery that can barely power it it might run a few watts lower for example if it has a motor that goes slower. But i still get it to run! AC/DC devices have a bunch of safety features that would panic if such a thing happened and many 12v devices (power tools) can easily use more power than a computer under normal operation. I would assume the fuse would pop before any damage took place but triggering a safety feature in the power supply is a real possibility. You want the full truck experience? you need the 24 volt version i know a trucker who blew a bunch of fuses trying to use a 12v kettle in a truck that was 24v(same plug used) Real gamers dont pause truck simulator they pull over and cook lunch with their Roadpro 12v frying pan use their commode and empty it out the window when going down a road with few witnesses

I'd say it was intended to be an ashtray and at the last minute they realized what a terrible idea that was. The plastic insert was likely a replacement for a metal ashtray that originally went in there; I have one and the resting divot doesn't match the insert but would if a different insert was used that followed the indent.

This was supposed to fit into the raver/gamer/music producer culture of the late 90's and early 00's. Not sure if you've seen pictures of those old huge LAN parties, but you literally got just enough space for your rig and monitor, so it would have been nice to have a cup holder for your energy drinks and bottles of water, and most of them would have been smoking menthol cigs like a chimney while they were rolling. Makes total sense back then, not so much with the modern generation of gamer. Regardless, great video as always! Keep on being awesome!

That's definitely an ashtray first, cupholder second. Great video!

When you connected your speakers' power supply into the Xray, that made my day. Laughed spectacularly hard at that.

You have to eject your cigarette lighter before removing it to avoid damaging the hodware

That was so amusing. And I laughed a lot when you plugged the speakers into the car plug. I guess it became meta right then.

This was the funniest video I have seen from you! I couldn't stop laughing when you ran your 12V to the car adapter and plugged in the speakers; while using a cup holder! I could just imagine that set up but instead of speakers a powered strip attached to a Sega 32x

Someone from the legal department called and were like...."Ummm, do we really want to be liable for encouraging people to use this as an ash tray? Someone will inevitably never empty it, and eventually shove it closed with a smoldering cigarette butt inside? You all may as well get ready to close all of this up because the lawsuits from careless smokers are going to put us out of business."

Alfred Morency its an indentation to take out the small cup. The little cup itself doesn’t have it so it would be hard to balance a cigarette on it. You could take it out and dump the ash on the tray itself but it would make it impossible to clean.

There is a removable ashtray that sits in the "cup holder" on the one I got back in the day.

This was one of those things I wasn't sure if I dreamed about or actually saw somewhere in real life. I was absolutely delighted to find out it wasn't a dream. It must be very practical if you're a smoker + coffee drinker working in a gritty environment with an expendable PC. 😆

The best thing about these oddware videos is the little giggle when it kinda works.

That whole "the cupholder really looks like an ashtray" thing makes me think this was marketed as a "12v accessory device and cup holder" to get around laws in some countries against advertising smoking paraphenalia

I'm glad someone else noticed that. 10 . amp . fuse. How many PC power supplies have a 12 volt rail rated for 10 amps? lol On the plus side you can actually get lower rated fuses in that spade form factor that you could just swap right in to make it safer. On the down side, I'm pretty sure the cigarette lighter wouldn't work any more without blowing the fuse.

Jeremy Levi probably most of them, a PC like that would barely use the 12v. I have an old power supply from a Athlon XP machine that has 14a on the 12v rail.

I was expecting the PSU to burn. Also I'm sure I was already subbed to your channel.
