But what if the employees aren't actually related? Meet Mitchell, a customer service rep for Creator Warehouse, who also happens to be Colton's brother-in-law. But don't think of it as nepotism. Think of it as putting the bro in trust me, bro. See, jokes aside, Mitchell does his absolute best to ensure that anyone who reaches out to our support is quickly taken care of. But don't think of that as ominous. Think of it as, you know what, don't think about that. Think about Christmas and playtime. Think about childhood nostalgia. Think about all the fun we're going to have with Mitchell doing his $5,000 AMD Ultimate Tech upgrade. beautiful setup upgrade, revitalization of his aging, decrepit desk setup, amazing figurines, and of course, amazing hardware from AMD. Are you tired of boring screwdrivers? Boom! Four new colors of the brand new LT transparent screwdriver. plasma purple, cryo teal, molten orange, and carbon black. They're see-through, they're awesome, and they're probably going to sell out. The Prism Magic screwdrivers are launching on December 26th at 6 a.m. PST. Sign up at the link below to get notified. Collect them all or maybe pair them with our brand new case and all over print hoodie. So, Mitchell, my understanding is you're upgrading your setup. Where exactly is that? God, you have a problem. Oh, well, uh, it's in my room. And also, how else do you think I survive customer service? That's fair. Oh my god, you're another Funko degenerate. What the heck? Wow, that's that Wow, that desk. Wait, I'm a little confused because the intro said your desk was really bad and needed to be upgraded, but this looks not that bad. This seems fine, >> but it could be better. >> Yeah. Yeah, let's make it better. You have so much merch. You have like everything. Whale plushy, CPU pillows, bread pillow, um prototype body pillow, commuter backpack, full-size backpack. >> You You probably don't want to open that. >> Are you sure? >> That's where I shoved everything. >> Your closet doesn't have clothes in it. Everything is just more Funko Pops. What the heck? Step one, why don't we have our lovely helpers, Adam and Reese, get started building this desk? Step two, have you ever built a computer? >> No. Okay. Would you like to? >> I mean, it's worth a shot. >> A shot? This guy's such a cut up, isn't he? We're not going to need the case for a bit, but now seems like as good a time as any to talk about the case you picked. >> This is the Star Forge clouded gates uh design on what should be a Lean Lee case. >> And you got a whole bunch of these are for the light panel. >> Yes. like just alternate ones depending on your mood kind of thing or what was the what was the thinking here? >> What we got was a bundle. So, it came with the light plates, the light box >> back here. >> Uh desk mat and wall art. >> It was going to be a lot of work to build. Okay, cool. Let's start with the usual. >> Even if you haven't built a computer before, have you watched a computer building video? Maybe. >> Well, yeah. I sure is. Oh, okay. But you never felt like building your own computer. >> Too much nerves. >> Really? >> I find that surprising in your line of work. >> Do you know why you chose the Ryzen 9800X 3D? >> To be fair, Adam chose it. >> Okay. Well, what is it that you want to do with your computer? >> Uh, mostly game. >> Okay, then Adam made a great choice. Eight cores, 3D vcache. It's the bee's knees when it comes to gaming right now. Hey, speaking of Adam, how do you think they're doing on that desk? >> We didn't plan at all. Here, one moment. >> In with the new. >> Now, all you got to do is just lift up this arm. Now, just bury that in there. Next up, we've got our RAM, whose pricing lately could best be described as murderous. You went with 32 gigs, which I assume is because you managed to get your hands on this before the recent pricing shenanigans. >> Yes. >> There we go. >> Next up, we've got Oh my god. How did you afford all this? >> Uh, Adam found the way. >> This is a 4 TBTE 990 EVO Plus. You have a TV, too. How'd you get all this stuff? >> Actually, I was under. So, uh, >> really? >> Thank you, Adam. >> No, thank you, Mitchell. Your upgrade means we get to do another giveaway. And this time, you're getting a chance for you and a friend of your choosing to win an AMD Radeon RX970 XT. YOU MEAN THE SAPPHIRE NITRO PLUS? >> GIVE THOSE BACK. NEVER. >> THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. MINE. FINE. THEY'RE YOURS. They're not for us. They're for the viewer. Enter using the link below. >> All right, revealing our PCIe slots. I would say we should go with this PCIe Gen 4 slot that goes directly to the CPU because this is a high performance drive, but it isn't one that's going to benefit from a Gen 5 slot, at least not fully. It can run at Gen 5 by 2, which is exactly the same bandwidth as Gen 4x4. So, why take up a slot that could provide four Gen 5 lanes? Maybe he'll find it in someone's pockets. We're making great progress. Let's strip all the panels off the case. And while we're doing that, why don't you check in with those guys? >> Honestly, these Secret Lab Desks are so simple to put together. The instructions are really good. Where did the toolbox go outside of this tool box? Don't screw it up. >> Screw it down. >> Screwed it. >> Damn it, Andrew. stealing my thunder from behind the camera again. Take them out later. >> Man, these fans cost a fortune. Seriously, how did you afford all this stuff? >> I I went to Adam and we made some deals. >> What does made deals mean? Sounds Everything sounds ominous when you say it. >> You You don't want to know. >> I'm going to install all those Lean Lee fans on these rails. Then why don't you unbox that AIO cooler? >> Okay. It's really nice the way that Thermal Right just decided to completely dunk on the entire rest of the cooling market. Their AIO's super nice, super affordable, super convenient. All the fans are pre-installed and everything. So, all you got to do now is just grab anywhere between 4 and 12 of these screws and just screw those into the radiator. So, he actually got a uh Naruto special edition. Hey, >> that would that >> it could have been nice. >> Redo it. Redo it. >> Okay, fine. Hang on. We got to put the ends. Oh my god. We got to put the ends on. Okay, lift it one more time. Are you doing, bro? What are you doing? My head is so nice. Did you notice that his desk comes with a mat and then he has two desk pads? Is this getting to be a little bit hat on a hat on a hat? >> Yeah. Yeah. Um I talked to him about that and he said, \"Do not question me. This is what I'm asking for.\" And I said, \"Okay.\" >> Right. Yeah. >> Cuz I guess you knew about the mallet thing already. Hey, >> what? You saw the thing in the garage, right? >> Oh. Oh, mallet. >> Oh, yeah. >> You mean hatchet. Hatchet. It was a hatchet. >> Which is even worse. >> Yeah. The backside is a It was a combination match. how it matches. I mean, >> hey, how much thermal compound did you put on? Not that I don't trust you to do a good job. >> That much? >> Oh my god. Yeah, that's fine. You can't really put on too much. >> You can sure try, though. >> Hey, there we go. >> Hey, >> good job, Mitchell. >> Thank you. >> You did most of it. >> Editor, this could probably be inserted anywhere. Um, that feels good. Well, no. Let's change those words. All right. So, this is the parents TV, right? >> Yes. >> What are we doing with this? >> Uh, we're going to upgrade this from uh this older Samsung model into this new High Sense QLED. >> Are you downgrading them in terms of size? >> Uh, well, it in terms of size, yes. But in terms of overall quality, no. >> I think this is going to be a huge upgrade. Highense has been putting out like great budget TVs. Like, this isn't a super expensive TV. I'm not trying to make you sound like a like um cheap, but you could have bought your parents a nicer TV. >> I'm just kidding. This is going to be a much nicer TV. So, let's get this unboxed, move this old TV out of here, and uh set them up with the new new somehow just barely fits. >> Shall we role play as your mom and dad? >> It looks so natural, >> Mitchell. >> Yeah. How do you How do you turn this thing off? >> Get on in here, buddy. >> You do the honors. >> Hi. A Fire TV. >> Yeah, apparently >> that's cool. >> You know, the speakers watch. >> Not very good. Not very good. >> Maybe the next thing you buy him is a soundar. >> You know what I think? If I was your dad, I'd be so proud of you. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome, son. Okay, >> time for me to figure out what all cables we need. This is going to take me a while. There's so much RGB in here. >> You didn't just get computer stuff and anime stuff. You also seem to be a big Nintendo fan, which is why you got >> Kirby Air Riders, the latest and greatest, the best racing game from Nintendo to come out this year. And you also got this. What is this? Uh, this is the Lego Legend of Zelda Great Deu tree, which is two in one. >> Naturally, we don't have enough time to build a 2500 Lego piece set. So, let's talk about some of the other things you got, like some new Apple Gear. >> So, I got the AirPods Pro Free >> and I guess to combo that, you got >> uh a new phone, >> iPhone 17. >> Yeah, iPhone 17. Here I was about to put in this GPU that Mitchell won at the Christmas party last year and I realized I haven't wired up still more RGB. And then of course we got a Dbrand case to go with it. Thanks Dbrand. These grip cases are awesome. And let's see the pattern you chose. What did you choose? >> Uh I got our uh glow circuit. >> Ooh, the custom LT circuit. And they I guess they got the Spider-Man one. >> The carnage. Yeah. >> But our custom glow-in-the-dark Dbrand skin. All right. Heck yeah. Okay, we're ready. We're ready. >> We're going in, boys.

I just receded the memory. Um, >> okay. Well, there's definitely thermal compound on there. Hold on. The RGB on the motherboard just woke up, which to me means Yep, there we go. We're at the VGA stage. We might have a bad stick. Let's just close this. And then we're going to try the other stick by itself. Uh yeah, you got a dead stick of memory. >> So >> nice. >> Wow. >> Just sell it on eBay. >> But the good news is it means we can get your system up and running today. And then you just RMA this and then pop the new one into the slot and you should be good to go. >> So I went with uh the Koi design that they have. Uh there's also a couple samurai. Uh there was one girl that he sent. >> He didn't want anyone to notice him. That's why he went with decoy. >> The whole point of the light box is that you're supposed to be able to easily like slide it out and then hot swap the plates for it. >> Ready? Big moment. Boom. >> Yeah. >> That's the ticket right there. Woo. You're going to have to go red on your RGB. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. or white. >> Let's go red. >> Yeah, red. It's kind of It's kind of his thing, right? Like he doesn't want to get any stains on the shirt or the computer. >> Date a cable. >> I can't even date a woman. >> Probably not everything from this video is going to make it into the YouTube cut. So, uh, LMG.gg/flatplane. Hey, while we're at it, ltstore.com. Nice. And if you ever have a problem with your order, you might talk to this guy. Well, if you text, you might text him, which is probably good because if you ran into him in person, that might mean something went wrong somewhere along the way. Oh, you didn't. Why is this a thing now? People have to just like buy a super expensive thing just so that I can be upset about it. >> Yeah, that's a reason. >> It does. uh does appear to be a significant part of the reason. Okay. What is this? Explain it. >> Uh this is a statue depicting a battle from season 2 of My Hero Academia. >> Well, that'll get you girls. >> I I mean, have you looked around? >> Yeah, I don't see any girls. >> Yeah. >> To be clear, none of my lifestyle choices are particularly about getting girls either. Girl, yes. But that's all I need. So, I think I get it, right? Because this guy's like a dark angel of some sort because he's got the big wings and he's like he's tough because he has spikes on his boots and like he has a mask so he's definitely the bad guy. And then this guy's like kind of he's almost like kind of smiling with his like battle face and he wears Crocs so he's stylish. So he's probably the good guy. And the moral of the story is that you don't have to be the taller combatant to win as long as you fight dirty. Does he fight dirty? >> No. >> Oh no. How does he win then? Power of power friendship >> of of what? Friendship. Friendship. >> Someone comes in and helps them. And >> what is his name? Twilight Sparkle. >> Okay.
