In this video, we're taking apart the Intel Beast Canyon 11 Extreme NUC. Our performance review is also forthcoming, including thermals, noise, and power consumption benchmarks of the new small form factor gaming PC, and we'll be running that in a separate piece soon. This uses another Compute Element card (linked above for original debut), but a new case with a high airflow design. All the mesh in this small case follows the trend of mini-ITX cases finally getting high airflow, but it's still compacted into a unique form factor.
