1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,280
i need to oh now this project has been a long

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,960
journey oh hold on i think that's in the way it actually started that sounds

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,199
awful back in february

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,039
2017 which come to think of it like why

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,039
did it take so long for us to get a laptop charging cart so that we can keep

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,320
our laptop batteries from getting damaged well you can't just send me

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:32,160
emails in the middle of the night and expect me to conjure a laptop card out

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,399
of midair oh

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:41,200
right speaking of conjuring things out of

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,559
midair thanks to be quiet! for conjuring this

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:49,120
sponsor spot their white dark bass pro 900 features a

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,399
modular design to support a variety of different layouts and configurations oh

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:01:02,719
look at the link in the video description to learn more

14
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:08,320
so in all seriousness though what did take so long

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,920
well we had this vision of what we wanted but

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:22,400
every commercial laptop cart that we could find either held too few laptops

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,560
or it was limited to 17-inch devices

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,960
which clearly wasn't going to cut it for some of the laptops that we need to

19
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,560
store so i'm sure by now you guys have figured out where i'm going with this

20
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:38,560
maybe thanks to the huge proto case shipment that we're uh

21
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:43,759
we just well actually we're getting ready to drag it outside for an outdoor

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,560
unboxing but for the kings of overkill

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:54,560
there was just no reasonable choice other than going with a fully custom

24
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,920
solution from our bffs over at protocase

25
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,280
but Linus just build one out of wood Linus come on

26
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:06,000
Linus no that's stupid if the note 7 taught us anything it's that batteries

27
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:11,440
sometimes not very often but sometimes blow up so uh covering the kindling in a

28
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,720
gigantic flammable box isn't really the best idea we want to stick with metal so

29
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,760
after some brainstorming with Jake we refined our original concept and sent a

30
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,640
package over to the design team at protocase apparently you can literally

31
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,800
send them cell phone photos of napkin scribbles and they'll turn it into

32
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,599
something coherent so that makes me feel a little better about the combination of

33
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,680
technical cad drawings and i show you not

34
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:43,040
ms paint concept drawings that we put together

35
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:48,319
huge shout out especially to daryl over there for all of his help turning our

36
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,959
designs into something actually usable

37
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:55,519
especially since our original concept would have weighed over

38
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:59,440
700 pounds he made tons of great suggestions and dealt with the countless

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,319
revisions and changes that Jake and i made without any complaining at least

40
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,480
not to us now i'm not gonna lie this project didn't get done in the

41
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:14,319
guaranteed two to three day production time of a typical proto case order but

42
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,560
the design work alone took up 42 man

43
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:21,200
hours almost five and a half working days and the fabrication of something

44
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:26,319
this complex took a pretty significant chunk of time as well

45
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:28,959
46 individual pieces had to be cut with

46
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:35,799
an industrial laser say for the right side panel which actually needed the cnc

47
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,799
router treatment thanks to its 1223

48
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,840
cutouts the laser is actually so powerful it would just warp the crap out

49
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:49,120
of something with that many intricate cuts then the cutters tend to leave some

50
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,920
sharp edges and little shavings known as burrs so each part got a quick run

51
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,879
through the deburring machines with large stiff whistles that polish the

52
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,360
edges down a bit bringing us then to the glue of this build fasteners

53
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:07,840
we did end up with a few welded joints but we tried to keep everything as

54
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:13,040
deconstructable as possible so in total almost

55
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,599
260 individual fasteners were manually

56
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,239
pressed into the sheets of metal these little guys are essentially threaded

57
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,880
metal that screws can be well screwed into before moving into cosmetics like

58
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,600
powder coat the pieces were individually cleaned in gigantic bats of degreaser

59
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:34,560
then dried in an oven because ain't nobody got time to wait for air drying

60
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:40,320
then the real magic happens in the paint station where the powder coating gun is

61
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:43,600
charged to 100 000 volts making the

62
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,840
powder coat nice and electrically sticky

63
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,400
for the metal pieces well let's uh why don't we you ready huh

64
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,000
you ready oh i'm ready let's do this thing there we go

65
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:08,240
oh my god we gotta coordinate the efforts here

66
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,440
all right let's do this thing what is that thing you think we're gonna

67
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:19,759
take this whole thing apart with that little knife yeah okay i'm gonna get a bigger you know what i'm gonna have it

68
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,720
done by the time you get back there's no knives so i have scissors

69
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:30,000
scissors really these are titanium coated okay man this thing weighs what

70
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:34,720
400 pounds yeah 400 and some change 400 change but that's down from 700. see

71
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,520
it's not about the actual weight it's about the improvement right

72
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:44,560
this is incredible here we can see the custom

73
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:50,560
full frontal silk screen job designed by ed yago himself this was no easy feat 20

74
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,880
separate screens were used for the design each requiring a tedious prep

75
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,000
process involving burning the layouts into the screen and

76
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:04,160
cleaning the portions with a pressure washer and then that's all before you

77
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,600
even think about applying the ink so

78
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:12,319
this 400 pound beast got assembled and skid shipped across the continent to our

79
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,759
office in vancouver and it's time

80
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:19,199
for us to charge some freaking laptops

81
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:26,080
yeah okay yeah over on this side you can see there's six fans over here giving us

82
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,919
airflow across the ac to dc uh chargers

83
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,479
as well as like you know if you have a razor blade for example and it just

84
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,160
decides to like cook randomly wake up when it's supposed to be sleeping then

85
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,600
this will keep it from boiling itself so should we grab

86
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:44,319
everything out uh yeah we should take this stuff out first okay there's a lip

87
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,759
on that one man this thing is solid yeah the doors are steel so they're like is

88
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:51,120
this fan controller yeah

89
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:54,880
yes he was like how do we power it and i was

90
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,639
like uh nzxt

91
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,160
oh you're just gonna make me okay well it's not that heavy anymore without

92
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:07,759
all the drawers inside oh hold on i'm slipping i'm slipping bubbles kind of a

93
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,360
big deal oh god did you lock this wheel

94
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:13,360
dang it Jake why would you lock the wheel i was happy

95
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,039
about how it locks okay okay slow down okay there's another cart

96
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:20,240
there how's my parking job here

97
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:29,520
how are we supposed to actually plug things into this top pdu oh god

98
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,759
that's a little tricky that's a minor design oversight Jake here just so you

99
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:37,280
guys can see what i'm talking about so these are intended to hold the ac

100
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,080
adapters captive thumbscrews check this out see

101
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,520
they don't come out and do they have padding on all of them

102
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:46,960
yeah that was the idea and they're vented and they're aluminum

103
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:53,360
and light we can customize it how we want so let's see if you can do this

104
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:56,639
okay that's not very fun but yes it it

105
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,639
can technically be done

106
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,520
just a power adapter it's fine

107
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,400
oh wait well here do you want to pop the top and then oh

108
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:13,919
raindrop drop top i got this it'll be fine okay maybe i don't

109
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:18,879
custom brandon god so i mean i realize this is a supremely

110
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,280
first world problem but like we have a lot of laptops

111
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:28,080
and right now they're all just sitting on

112
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:29,520
the shelf essentially rotting because i

113
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,959
don't know if you know this but it discharges over time and then it can

114
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:38,159
actually go bad if it sits there discharged for too long remember kids if

115
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,320
you got too much discharge it's always a bad thing that would have been not that

116
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:48,800
bad until you practiced it with remember kids ouch oh what the hell is this thing

117
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:53,040
oh my god don't ask questions does this have like an express card

118
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:59,279
why are we even bothering to keep this thing alive i hate

119
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,640
these stock cable ties they're trash

120
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:06,000
they're just garbage uh so

121
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,839
this is the water cooled laptop the laptop can go in the cart and then

122
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:16,160
we'll just put the water cooler like next to it okay no

123
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:18,000
okay yeah okay just just give it to me

124
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,640
devices like this we should really charge and stuff what is that

125
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,560
they're cool yeah when are you ever gonna use this well never which is

126
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:30,320
exactly why we need to be charging it so it doesn't die

127
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:36,760
it's basically just a smartphone with a fat keyboard yeah yeah

128
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:36,760
wow that is something

129
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,760
honestly like half of the laptops on the bottom i've only got what is this five

130
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,320
six seven eight laptops down here i've got like

131
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:50,240
12 power bricks i can barely even put

132
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,040
like so it takes up like this much space up

133
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,760
here proto case we're gonna need a rev too

134
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:04,839
rev2 i actually don't know how many laptops

135
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:04,839
we have so i'm about to find out one two

136
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,200
flirty laptops plus blancho laptops plus people who have laptops deployed to them

137
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,839
i have two all the writers have one each

138
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:20,000
we probably have like 40 to 50 laptops why

139
00:10:16,839 --> 00:10:22,399
well whatever the reason for it is we

140
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,320
finally have a safe place to store them um everything from the thinning lights

141
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:31,279
on the top to the sort of like gaming models in the middle um slash you know

142
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:36,480
powerful models like the mac pros here macbook pro rather to the completely

143
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:40,800
over the top ridiculous ones huge shout out to protocase

144
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:46,079
for sending this over to us if you can imagine it protocase can

145
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,720
pretty much build it how heavy is this thing now

146
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:55,760
like this is a this is a hard rubber tire

147
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,480
we flattened it um

148
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,560
well ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer satisfaction when

149
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:07,600
you call them you speak to a real person not an automated phone tree and you only

150
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:13,440
pay for what you use with the average ting bill under 25 dollars per month per

151
00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:16,720
device you don't have to kind of guess if it'll work for you though you can go

152
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,320
over to Linus.ting.com we'll have that linked below and use their savings

153
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:23,920
calculator enter your last few bills and how much you paid for them and it'll

154
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,480
spit out whether you'd save money on ting then when you decide to switch to

155
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,720
ting all you gotta do is go to that link and you can get 25 bucks towards a

156
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:37,040
service credit what's cool is that on top of that if you need to get out of

157
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:43,480
your contract to switch to ting ting will cover 25 of your cancellation fee

158
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:46,079
up to 75 dollars so again head over to

159
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,640
Linus.ting.com and check them out so thanks for watching guys if you like

162
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:04,240
working with them uh especially because they send us such cool stuff

163
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,040
um what else are they talking about we have a merch store we'll have that

164
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,560
linked in the video description also our community forum

165
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,560
