WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.560
we've teamed up with cableorganizer.com

00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:11.960
ubiquity networks bonded logic Trend net

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:14.400
and protoc case to give this place a

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:18.680
complete makeover now the only thing that remains

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.720
is to do something about the

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.119
noise that's where the ultr touch batting comes in the bad

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:32.520
news is that we've got some theories but no concrete ideas when it comes to how

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:39.719
we're going to cover the inside of this room with it the good news is that because you

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.480
have to leave it out overnight to fluff up to its full

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.840
thickness it's pretty easy to find in our

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:59.199
office our ant lion audio mod mic 5

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:04.159
giveaway continues we're giving away three mod mic FES and a highi man

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:07.479
Edition s mod Mite combo enter now at the link

00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:12.759
below okay someone put all this stuff in a pile I got to get it over here anyway

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:17.280
this insulation stuff that we're using is really cool I was first put onto it

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.960
when Mike from Silent PC review was showing me how he built his an at coic

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.000
chamber it's made by a company called bonded logic and it's got a few things

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:28.439
that set it apart from other insulation so it's not made of fiberglass or

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:33.119
anything like that it's actually made of recycled blue jeans so it's like if

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:38.920
you're into sustainability then I guess that's cool but it's also got awesome

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:43.280
thermal properties and some of the best acoustic properties both in terms of

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:47.399
like dispersing sound and actually blocking its transmission they actually

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:50.240
make a ton of stuff out of this uh recycled blue jean materials when I was

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:54.360
talking to them on the phone they actually mentioned to me that one of the

00:01:52.280 --> 00:02:00.200
biggest uses for this stuff now is actually shipping perishables like food

00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:03.240
so blue apron a sponsor of ours actually

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.799
uses bonded logic shipping material to

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:09.800
ship you know like cold stuff that sits on your doorstep so that it doesn't get

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.920
hot and spoil in the sun pretty cool right check this out check this out if

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:19.360
you didn't believe it's made of recycled jeans there's a piece of zipper that's

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.440
awesome okay so right now what we're doing is we're getting a baseline

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.080
measurement of what the sound is like through this wall of the server room so

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:36.680
everybody quiet it's about 40 to 43

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:39.040
DB pretty sure that says LS right we've

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:47.239
got a couple of different tools to help us

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:49.640
cut uh we do have a hand insulation saw

00:02:47.239 --> 00:02:54.200
but from what I've read online one of the best ways to cut it is

00:02:52.640 --> 00:03:00.040
actually with a band saw so we had tried to come up with a

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:06.239
brilliant plan for using like some kind of a a mesh or like a netting to keep it

00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:13.120
up but we actually ended up settling on Good oldfashioned Nails hold on I got to

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:15.799
get a hammer um so we'll start in the

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.519
corner behind the UPS over there oh I'm also going to need a lot more Nails than

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.519
this dang It

00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:29.799
Bobby okay I'm clearly going to be better off pre-measuring

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.000
this look I'm new at this okay actually

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:36.120
you know what for this one I should just go right up the

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:39.480
wall if this doesn't work we don't really have another plan at the

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:47.120
moment this is looking like it might work huh how about

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:56.819
that okay so just a few more hours of this and then I'm

00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:02.480
good okay this is a thick one wow I'm

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:07.720
going to go through a ton of nails how many are in

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:07.720
here I don't feel like this is

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:14.680
enough oh damn it was that the label maker we'll deal with it

00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:22.280
later oh sh that's the

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:26.520
steel good for security bad for putting nails

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.720
into good thing we dusted the server

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:39.080
right we are ready to get our after reading okay everybody

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:46.000
quiet and we have discovered a fatal flaw in our testing

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:48.160
methodology because the room is way

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.520
quieter but we would have had to take our measurement from quite a bit closer

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:54.840
to isolate the noise that comes from the room from the noise that comes from the

00:04:53.120 --> 00:05:00.440
computers that are here and the Transformer over there so I give up

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:06.440
whatever mission accomplished but boy is there ever still a lot of work to do so

00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:12.320
what I discovered very quickly when working with the ultr touch insulation

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.120
is that it still sheds a fair bit of

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:20.400
material creating dust for my freshly dusted servers look at this keyboard

00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:26.880
look at this keyboard fortunately I was one step

00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:31.120
ahead and I ordered a like a custom air

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:35.479
filter but we need a longer term

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:39.280
solution so that's where this special

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:42.520
black stage cloth comes in if we can

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.680
cover up all of the insulation in here

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:49.670
we'll be able to keep this place from being a uh a dust

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.080
mine let's get CRA

00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:58.840
aacan holy crap this thing is heavy

00:05:55.400 --> 00:06:01.039
inexpensive this roll was like hundreds

00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:06.319
of dollars this stuff is acoustically neutral I

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:10.880
believe is the term for it and it lets sound pass through so it can be absorbed

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:16.800
by the ultra touch if we were to put plastic over it

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.400
we would actually get substantially more

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:24.800
Reflections where my tape measure go this is the problem with any DIY

00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:30.240
project so I've actually done a lot of the easy stuff along this left wall here

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:35.039
it only takes a couple of nails and Staples actually to hold it in place but

00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:38.520
now it's going to get a lot more challenging so check this out standing

00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.080
right behind the servers you can hear how loud they

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:45.840
are and standing right here it's that

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:51.199
much quieter cool huh oh nice I think this is

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:57.840
going to make it all the way into this corner

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.840
perfect okay I need my

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:05.800
stapler another handy dandy thing about this

00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:07.440
fabric is once you uh start ripping it

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.560
it rips in a straight line in both directions as far as I can

00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:18.759
tell I need shirts made of this

00:07:16.039 --> 00:07:25.720
stuff so everyone's back in the office now though it is a couple days

00:07:22.039 --> 00:07:28.520
later um so I can't afford to

00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:34.400
accidentally unplug anything anymore

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:37.560
oh no I pressed the button

00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:40.000
Escape I didn't put dutin behind the

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:44.159
server cabinet itself just cuz I figured if I'm running cables back there or

00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:47.199
anything like that I didn't want to have something that is more

00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:05.479
grippy not bad

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:09.240
okay finally almost there we've got all

00:08:05.479 --> 00:08:13.319
the installation contained and finally

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:17.680
the last piece from protoc case arrived

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:22.639
so this is my custom vent for the door

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:25.759
of the server room now noise isolation

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:29.080
relies on sealing up a room as much as

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:30.520
you I'll open this later come here and

00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:36.880
as you can see I've got this just covered but in the event that our air

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:38.680
conditioning fails we've actually got a

00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:44.320
thermostat here that's going to monitor the temperature of the room and kick on

00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:48.839
an auxiliary fan up there so at least it

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:51.920
doesn't completely bake in here so Jake

00:08:48.839 --> 00:08:55.279
designed and protocase created for us a

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:57.399
custom shroud that we're going to cover

00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:02.120
this hole with so that the sound doesn't have a direct path out but the air still

00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:06.959
has a way in ow my

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:11.240
elbow it's metal what do they expect to happen to it in shipping no I'm not

00:09:09.560 --> 00:09:16.800
angry they packed it well oh my

00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.680
knee oh my heat sinks would any of you

00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:24.279
watching this believe I'm not much of a handyman you guys try cutting through

00:09:21.959 --> 00:09:30.600
5in thick blue jeans it's hard okay just going at it upside

00:09:27.839 --> 00:09:35.160
down ow damn

00:09:31.640 --> 00:09:38.200
it oh no where did all these screws go

00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:39.480
don't have time for this there it is all

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:45.800
right come on in Brandon I think this hole is not

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:52.519
optimal I think we may have to cut back a bit more also I have to remove some of

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:57.040
my nails did he just Hammer Nails into a

00:09:52.519 --> 00:10:00.120
door yes yes I did and now I'm removing

00:09:57.040 --> 00:10:02.600
them with my bare hands

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:07.519
oh damn I was hoping to hook that up there yeah okay screw it I'm going in

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:16.160
we're just going to drill right through the metal a cut myself on a drill bit okay

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:17.360
here we go wait a minute oh I installed

00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:22.079
them backwards

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:28.560
ah actually a very simple kind of elegant

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:33.120
design good work Jake so we still have to do this then the

00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:38.519
dutin then the grand finale here we

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:41.519
go acid test

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.519
time

00:10:43.959 --> 00:10:46.959
aha

00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:55.680
nice wow it's actually almost level too look at that awesome so there's

00:10:53.279 --> 00:11:00.240
ventilation and here is noise blocking

00:10:57.880 --> 00:11:08.320
ow home stretch now we just got to secure the insulation

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.320
to the door and

00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:21.760
cover oh we're so close so 42 by about

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:21.760
90 so I want to secure this really

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:29.760
well people are probably wondering why I'm using nails for this the answer is

00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:33.920
pretty simple they're easy to remove I'm sure it's wrong sure the internet is

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:38.760
going to tell me about why it's wrong and then I'll know so it's good that's

00:11:35.560 --> 00:11:40.920
how we learn by doing things wrong and

00:11:38.760 --> 00:11:45.680
then being corrected on the internet I'm going to cut it sort of approximately

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:49.399
but smaller and then just kind of fold it over I will give you this Brandon

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:53.800
this really is very cool fabric

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:59.360
ow there so

00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:04.639
theoretically I don't need this anymore it's all covered you know what I think

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:09.519
the air filter on this thing is overkill anyway I'm not going to bother get in

00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:18.920
there hiya okay so we're done then right

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:20.680
the room is quiet the room is clean the

00:12:18.920 --> 00:12:30.040
cables are managed and ah fresh from its Adventure

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.199
in learning to be water cooled

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:33.199
this export

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:41.519
server is sliding back into the rack

00:12:38.040 --> 00:12:41.519
there's nothing left to do

00:12:41.839 --> 00:12:46.320
right you underestimate me my

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.399
friends RGB

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:59.560
lighting oh this is rgbw chainable up to 3

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:05.000
m okay first I need to know if these are the magnetic

00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:07.480
kits oh yeah baby they are okay that's

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.800
excellent we've got a couple Standalone power supplies cuz we don't actually

00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:19.399
want these to run off of the computers that are in here because the RGB always

00:13:15.160 --> 00:13:23.519
needs to work I cannot

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:26.360
wait oh this is going to be sick sick I

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:30.959
tell you got to give some thought to Cable Management here given that was the

00:13:28.040 --> 00:13:35.480
whole point of this bloody project okay so we're just going to go

00:13:32.839 --> 00:13:39.320
straight into the wall realistically these do not need to run off the UPS wow

00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:45.079
it's amazing that's what I'm talking

00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:50.160
about all right let's see if I can hit both of these at

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:55.199
once oh

00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:58.519
yes Ting makes it easy to spend less on

00:13:55.199 --> 00:14:00.199
your monthly Mobile bill basically you

00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:04.720
head over to their website so that's Linus doing.com we''ve got that Linked

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:09.560
In the video description and check out their savings calculator you put in your

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:14.880
last few months of bills you put in how much you paid and it lets you know if

00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:18.480
Tings pay for only what you use system is going to work for you and the odds

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:23.279
are pretty good because the average Ting bill is only 23 bucks a month per device

00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:26.600
so you must be sitting there going Linus well this sounds like a kind of shoddy

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:31.360
mobile carrier where their customer service probably sucks but that's not

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:37.800
the case if you call up Ting you can try it you will speak to a real live human

00:14:34.160 --> 00:14:40.440
being no phone tree no automated menu

00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:46.040
nothing like that and data is now just 10 bucks a gig beyond the first Gigabyte

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:53.279
even better than that if you use our link to sign up you can get $25 towards
