WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.280
i need to oh now this project has been a long

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.960
journey oh hold on i think that's in the way it actually started that sounds

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.199
awful back in february

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:21.039
2017 which come to think of it like why

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

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.320
our laptop batteries from getting damaged well you can't just send me

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:32.160
emails in the middle of the night and expect me to conjure a laptop card out

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.399
of midair oh

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:41.200
right speaking of conjuring things out of

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.559
midair thanks to be quiet! for conjuring this

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:49.120
sponsor spot their white dark bass pro 900 features a

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.399
modular design to support a variety of different layouts and configurations oh

00:00:51.360 --> 00:01:02.719
look at the link in the video description to learn more

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:08.320
so in all seriousness though what did take so long

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.920
well we had this vision of what we wanted but

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:22.400
every commercial laptop cart that we could find either held too few laptops

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:24.560
or it was limited to 17-inch devices

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

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

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:38.560
maybe thanks to the huge proto case shipment that we're uh

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:43.759
we just well actually we're getting ready to drag it outside for an outdoor

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.560
unboxing but for the kings of overkill

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:54.560
there was just no reasonable choice other than going with a fully custom

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:55.920
solution from our bffs over at protocase

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.280
but Linus just build one out of wood Linus come on

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:06.000
Linus no that's stupid if the note 7 taught us anything it's that batteries

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:11.440
sometimes not very often but sometimes blow up so uh covering the kindling in a

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:16.720
gigantic flammable box isn't really the best idea we want to stick with metal so

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.760
after some brainstorming with Jake we refined our original concept and sent a

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.640
package over to the design team at protocase apparently you can literally

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.800
send them cell phone photos of napkin scribbles and they'll turn it into

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.599
something coherent so that makes me feel a little better about the combination of

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:39.680
technical cad drawings and i show you not

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:43.040
ms paint concept drawings that we put together

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:48.319
huge shout out especially to daryl over there for all of his help turning our

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.959
designs into something actually usable

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:55.519
especially since our original concept would have weighed over

00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:59.440
700 pounds he made tons of great suggestions and dealt with the countless

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.319
revisions and changes that Jake and i made without any complaining at least

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

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:14.319
guaranteed two to three day production time of a typical proto case order but

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.560
the design work alone took up 42 man

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.200
hours almost five and a half working days and the fabrication of something

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:26.319
this complex took a pretty significant chunk of time as well

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:28.959
46 individual pieces had to be cut with

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:35.799
an industrial laser say for the right side panel which actually needed the cnc

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:35.799
router treatment thanks to its 1223

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:43.840
cutouts the laser is actually so powerful it would just warp the crap out

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:49.120
of something with that many intricate cuts then the cutters tend to leave some

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:53.920
sharp edges and little shavings known as burrs so each part got a quick run

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:58.879
through the deburring machines with large stiff whistles that polish the

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.360
edges down a bit bringing us then to the glue of this build fasteners

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:07.840
we did end up with a few welded joints but we tried to keep everything as

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:13.040
deconstructable as possible so in total almost

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.599
260 individual fasteners were manually

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:20.239
pressed into the sheets of metal these little guys are essentially threaded

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.880
metal that screws can be well screwed into before moving into cosmetics like

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.600
powder coat the pieces were individually cleaned in gigantic bats of degreaser

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:34.560
then dried in an oven because ain't nobody got time to wait for air drying

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:40.320
then the real magic happens in the paint station where the powder coating gun is

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.600
charged to 100 000 volts making the

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:45.840
powder coat nice and electrically sticky

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.400
for the metal pieces well let's uh why don't we you ready huh

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.000
you ready oh i'm ready let's do this thing there we go

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:08.240
oh my god we gotta coordinate the efforts here

00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:13.440
all right let's do this thing what is that thing you think we're gonna

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

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:24.720
done by the time you get back there's no knives so i have scissors

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:30.000
scissors really these are titanium coated okay man this thing weighs what

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:34.720
400 pounds yeah 400 and some change 400 change but that's down from 700. see

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.520
it's not about the actual weight it's about the improvement right

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:44.560
this is incredible here we can see the custom

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:50.560
full frontal silk screen job designed by ed yago himself this was no easy feat 20

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.880
separate screens were used for the design each requiring a tedious prep

00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:00.000
process involving burning the layouts into the screen and

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:04.160
cleaning the portions with a pressure washer and then that's all before you

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.600
even think about applying the ink so

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:12.319
this 400 pound beast got assembled and skid shipped across the continent to our

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:17.759
office in vancouver and it's time

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:19.199
for us to charge some freaking laptops

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

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:27.919
airflow across the ac to dc uh chargers

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

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:36.160
decides to like cook randomly wake up when it's supposed to be sleeping then

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:39.600
this will keep it from boiling itself so should we grab

00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:44.319
everything out uh yeah we should take this stuff out first okay there's a lip

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

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.120
this fan controller yeah

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.880
yes he was like how do we power it and i was

00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:58.639
like uh nzxt

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.160
oh you're just gonna make me okay well it's not that heavy anymore without

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

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.360
big deal oh god did you lock this wheel

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.360
dang it Jake why would you lock the wheel i was happy

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:17.039
about how it locks okay okay slow down okay there's another cart

00:07:15.919 --> 00:07:20.240
there how's my parking job here

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:29.520
how are we supposed to actually plug things into this top pdu oh god

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:33.759
that's a little tricky that's a minor design oversight Jake here just so you

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:37.280
guys can see what i'm talking about so these are intended to hold the ac

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:40.080
adapters captive thumbscrews check this out see

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:43.520
they don't come out and do they have padding on all of them

00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:46.960
yeah that was the idea and they're vented and they're aluminum

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

00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:56.639
okay that's not very fun but yes it it

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.639
can technically be done

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.520
just a power adapter it's fine

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:08.400
oh wait well here do you want to pop the top and then oh

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:13.919
raindrop drop top i got this it'll be fine okay maybe i don't

00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:18.879
custom brandon god so i mean i realize this is a supremely

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:23.280
first world problem but like we have a lot of laptops

00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:28.080
and right now they're all just sitting on

00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:29.520
the shelf essentially rotting because i

00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:32.959
don't know if you know this but it discharges over time and then it can

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:38.159
actually go bad if it sits there discharged for too long remember kids if

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

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:48.800
bad until you practiced it with remember kids ouch oh what the hell is this thing

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:53.040
oh my god don't ask questions does this have like an express card

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:59.279
why are we even bothering to keep this thing alive i hate

00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.640
these stock cable ties they're trash

00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:06.000
they're just garbage uh so

00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:09.839
this is the water cooled laptop the laptop can go in the cart and then

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:16.160
we'll just put the water cooler like next to it okay no

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:18.000
okay yeah okay just just give it to me

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:22.640
devices like this we should really charge and stuff what is that

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.560
they're cool yeah when are you ever gonna use this well never which is

00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:30.320
exactly why we need to be charging it so it doesn't die

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:36.760
it's basically just a smartphone with a fat keyboard yeah yeah

00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:36.760
wow that is something

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

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.320
six seven eight laptops down here i've got like

00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:50.240
12 power bricks i can barely even put

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:55.040
like so it takes up like this much space up

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:57.760
here proto case we're gonna need a rev too

00:09:56.560 --> 00:10:04.839
rev2 i actually don't know how many laptops

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:04.839
we have so i'm about to find out one two

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:11.200
flirty laptops plus blancho laptops plus people who have laptops deployed to them

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:15.839
i have two all the writers have one each

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:20.000
we probably have like 40 to 50 laptops why

00:10:16.839 --> 00:10:22.399
well whatever the reason for it is we

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:26.320
finally have a safe place to store them um everything from the thinning lights

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

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:36.480
powerful models like the mac pros here macbook pro rather to the completely

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:40.800
over the top ridiculous ones huge shout out to protocase

00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:46.079
for sending this over to us if you can imagine it protocase can

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:48.720
pretty much build it how heavy is this thing now

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:55.760
like this is a this is a hard rubber tire

00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:58.480
we flattened it um

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:02.560
well ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer satisfaction when

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

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:13.440
pay for what you use with the average ting bill under 25 dollars per month per

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

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:20.320
over to Linus.ting.com we'll have that linked below and use their savings

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.920
calculator enter your last few bills and how much you paid for them and it'll

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.480
spit out whether you'd save money on ting then when you decide to switch to

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

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

00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:43.480
your contract to switch to ting ting will cover 25 of your cancellation fee

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:46.079
up to 75 dollars so again head over to

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.640
Linus.ting.com and check them out so thanks for watching guys if you like

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:55.200
this video you can hit like button if you disliked it you can hit that button too but otherwise get subscribed check

00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:58.800
out our merch store check out protocase these guys are flipping awesome we love

00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:04.240
working with them uh especially because they send us such cool stuff

00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:07.040
um what else are they talking about we have a merch store we'll have that

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:10.560
linked in the video description also our community forum

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:14.560
now it's locked now people cannot get any laptops ever

00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:17.959
again if we lose this key so let's try not to do that
