we are going to be building the sickest gaming room on the block now
unfortunately my wife was right our plan of doing it with a virtualized gaming
server it's not going to work not because we couldn't get the tech right
we totally had it it was totally working but because of anti-che so we're going
to have to have dedicated gaming boxes for each of the five stations or are we
oh I've got some really cool stuff to show you guys with like DisplayPort
kvms and fiber optic cables and and
gaming RGB the whole video is brought to you by goie we're going to be tricking
the room out and I'll be doing all of it with the help of my wife's husband's
boyfriend your your what our Second Son
what they me I'm me okay okay fine all right let's do this
this is the current state of the land room I borrowed a couple of laptops from work so that my kids could play
Minecraft but other than that it's pretty much just desks now they're
pretty amazing desks these are a butcher block that was sanded and finished with
a Danish oil and if I do say so myself I
did a great job you did a great job okay
the last time I felt them they felt like crap did you touch them
up that feels awful what what did you
sand this with why don't you just get your MacBook out of my gaming center
yeah all right maybe just Dan will help today yeah we got Dan helping okay I'll
just go home yeah I couldn't finish your desks for you look I did the same finish
on my desk in my apartment with a hand sanding block in like a day and it feels
way better one desk I don't have seven days like one and a half of
those and I hand solution hand sanded it
easy solution LTT Store.com yeah okay
what are you guys even bringing in here you need headsets catch you need I'm not
going to throw this one at you cuz you'll die but it's metal right yeah
that's right the actual keyboards we were intending to use in the land Center
everything was supposed to be Logitech Pro oh but um we stole them for the wh
land PCS oh so instead we have these Kyron ones they are actually probably
like a little bit higher end than those technically speaking cool it used to be
that non Cherry switch just use the cherry color scheme but I don't think
that is necessarily the case anymore wow why would you do that why are you
throwing more what is with these are really valuable mice yeah they're great
man this is going to be the most tricked out gaming setup GPR super lights all
around oh should I do some RGB yeah I
mean that's that's all you need for it to be a gaming room is RGB right yeah
what all did gov send over I actually have not seen any of this a little bit
of everything so this is just like a lamp I I was thinking we put this in the
corner it's a RGB IC so that's like a
addressable RGB for the PC Gamers U
floor lamp yeah oh that can we can put it in that corner yeah I have two oh we
can put one in both corn put one in that corner too yeah a this is kind of cute
actually I mean there is some assembly required for this this light but at
least in this capacity they can ship it in a small box like this not a giant box
not LTT Store.com wait darn it we're going to be shipping this thing soon we
got to show it okay okay is that just the strip yeah oh cool kind of thought
it would be uh stiff yeah well there's this this like track for it I already
mentioned that the virtualized gaming rig That was supposed to power all five
of those stations it's out it's done thank you anti-che and unfortunately the
individual rack mount gaming machines are not ready yet but I do have
something really cool to show you guys once those are in my kids and their
friends are going to be able to fire up any games they want like they're at a freaking Land Cafe but I might want to
use them too right and as you can imagine I don't want to share my machine
with my kids friends for obvious privacy reasons so we've got a really cool
solution to that because my gaming rig and my wife's gaming rig are already
down here in the mechanical room anyway and then wired upstairs through Fiber
Optic Cables what would prevent us from wiring them up to the land room as well
the answer is nothing that is where this
comes in now don't get me wrong we make some pretty cool stuff on LTT Store but
wendle from level one Tech lineup of DisplayPort kvms is freaking sick the
guy wrote custom firmware for these bad boys so that they can do USB 10 gig and
DisplayPort 1.4 up to 8K 60 frames per
second to two stations so I just put
this bad boy here plug it into my machine and one of our land machines and
when I'm in the land Center I can just flip between them the kids friends are
over be okay you're using the generic
one I'm using it I just use my gaming rig with all my files exactly where I
want them wow light all right that's
cool oh this one also has um warm and
cool white LEDs which is nice oh nice so it's not just like that blue you get
from mixing all the RGB give me rainbow I want rainbow now
yes should we fire back at the wall or
should we come just straight out and I think fire at the wall yeah okay now I
just get to now I just got to build the other one ARA if you don't want to use
your phone Linus it's got a little like just sticking on there and it's a little
magnet oh cool I don't know that I would want it up there at the top but well
that's where it's going for now okay perfect thank you hold on a second
what's going on here are we going to put these over in there and use like docks
here like for today like we haven't even tested the fiber optic cabling in the
walls I mean we could do a couple you
want to do all of them I want to know if it works also Dan did you just put the
power play mats over top of the LTT desk
pad power play is super cool this is logitech's mouse pad that continuously
charges your mouse while you're just using it forever it's amazing you just
never ever charge your mouse I just want them to do the same thing for their
lless keyboards so that you don't have to like charge your wireless keyboard
now I'm thinking long term uh we could cut out like a piece of acrylic that's
that thick that's the same size of the mouse pad and then you'd kind of have a
a section for it in the meantime there can just be a hump oh no I won't allow
that you won't allow it now with the the end the yeah move it up to the corner
yeah you got to go at least to the corner before I can show you guys that
KVM in action I need to set up my station starting with the monitor this
is the vg27 7 a from ASUS and it's
basically the gaming monitor that I would have given my left testicle for
you know like 5 years ago it's 165 HZ
1440p IPS gsync
certified what is there to not like and the $300 sticker price even includes a
height adjustable stand take that Apple I really hope this works theoretically
every one of these DisplayPort wall plates is wired back to the server room
and it should just be as simp simple has plugging in my machine and the monitor
lights up theoretically nothing's ever simple
now I just have to figure out which from this Rat's Nest of wires is that state
oh oh they're labeled okay maybe this will be easy I'm
going to guess that five is that one of
course not what happened on the one hand
I'm upset that the monitor didn't light up but on the other hand I feel great
about being right that it was isn't going to be easy um got all these like
weird profiles I need a DP cable rainbow
mode M rainbow that looks RGB right
that's perfect is that RGB enough for you lonus well Jake fulfills our sponsor
requirements I am going to take David's suggestion really good idea David and
I'm going to plug in this Monitor and see if this one lights up that'll tell
us if they're numbered 1 2 3 4 five or 1 2 3 4 five crap hey look at these things
I wonder if we can make an LT out of these you think we can do it I don't
think it's worth it you don't think it's worth it NOP what would you rather it say lonus no do you think we
can why are those the only two options I don't know you named the company lus
Media Group lus Tech tips and LTT couldn't it just be a cool geometric
shape yeah okay cool let's do that an L
is a shape yeah let's do a big L yeah for Le great idea Dan oh beautiful it's
an elf for narcissist oh baby how's that
David do that look
awful why this is a big L I'll take it
you're taking it right now clearly we made that L out of Go's Glide wall
lights they're the most popular product in Go's Glide series of lights and
support the full rainbow of color options Dynamic scenes Alexa and Google
Assistant control and they can even sync to music they are all wired up and none
of them are picking up the signal okay here he did the same thing he did
upstairs where he used these long female to female things we have couplers this
is not a coupler yeah I gave him both and clearly yeah he used why use this
well because this was all they had at the start and then they got me the right ones but then I guess yeah okay did you
try the couplers upstairs yeah they and they work fine yeah so where are the
couplers I don't know let's just run the cable to start right just to see yeah
Dan come on man don't bully lineups okay
he's a good boy what are the odds the command St oh nice
it's just such a small thing but the quality of life Improvement of hanging
these with a command strip pre-applied versus having to stick them on somewhere
yourself really good isn't it so nice oh they kind they sit Off the Wall a little
bit too let me see this oh my God is it bendy it's bendy and it's like diffused
y should I put these in the middle of my weird things or we going to put them
somewhere else I don't know I think we need to make a shape out of it look at
this guy swoops in at the last second to grab all the glory and plug in the cable
exactly who took the plate off me while
you're working on that Den can I ask some questions yeah go for it why do you
have the power play mats under to the side these mouse pads are they're
portrait does it matter yeah nobody does that now now you don't have a lump
portrait mouse pad you get portrait mouse pad or you get lump yeah this is
actually smart I'm just no what no it's just going to go here wait wait wait
what hold on no I see a monitor the power is unplugged are you serious right
now it P it was pulled out wait is it plugged in on the bottom who moved it
did someone unplug this Dan Dan did you
unplug this monitor to meme your freaking
rgbs I'm just testing hold on I'm just going to I I can try some stuff oh my
God it's this one it's this one wait what what the hell it's working through
the coupler what number is this though it's either five or one I can't remember
this is five or one yeah it's certainly not this should be three what no matter
how you remember it it could be like 1 2 3 4 5 maybe what I don't know no this is
why I unplugged the monitor so you figure it out yo thanks Dan you're
welcome the plot thickens not only is number five in the middle of the room
there's a number six where does number six go there isn't a six station it gets
even better there's a not numbered one I
am so confused right now these things are a little tricky to figure out how to
lay out um there not a lot of flexibility because it's all straight
lines I mean a lot of people aren't going to want this look we're kind of thinking maybe it just comes up and then
goes over I found it the master key that
should tell me where everything runs to
so there's one of the patch panels there's other more different patch panel
where's the DisplayPort DisplayPort's not on here actually
neither is anything else other than Ethernet oh no nothing nothing it's all
fine oh he's going to find out no no grab a
hex panel that's really not
good what are you we're not doing we could we could put the other
RGB yeah like going the other way that's a perfect idea not sus at all oh my God
I noticed immediately yeah it's not great no I did
this on purpose specifically to spite nope no no for those wondering the Jerry
rig everything knife is really sharp Canen
confirm and this is going great you guys
this is going great thanks man I think
so too I can't put into words how thrilled I am with this how about what
there's no problems at all you can't even see it it's covered up by the I
think I could express it in math though they have negative numbers right ready
yes yeah yeah baby okay this is four and
that's working what what is this numbering scheme cuz I'm pretty sure
this one was like two or something Dan I need your help just do your thing keep
Runing my walls I have three display ports plugged in and not a single one of
these is lit up we know these three I already have these three labeled okay
but how is there three other ones then there's only five oh I know um there's
two remember for the
KVM oh oh so I guarantee you remember
cuz we needed two for the kbm to work right so there's definitely two just
stuffed in this access panel I guarantee it do you ever try unplugging it and
plugging it back in cuz I did hi can I
help you should be symmetrical we got two kits symmetrical we're kind of
thinking it comes off of here and goes up sure I mean then again this is the
same team that brought you uh ripping the paint off double double
wide heck yeah all right um now I need someone to
holler at me when it turns off cuz I have three cables plugged into this
thing it's still on one off oh that was
it oh wow that was good this means oh my
goodness this means the only remaining part of this mystery while we come down
here and appreciate that it's bathed in the glow of our RGB light from goie
thank you goie for sponsoring this video
is are the two extra display ports
actually in here I just unplugg the sponsor's light nice two extra fibers
two extra display ports and the labels
for the extras are one and
two why would you have the ones that go into a hole in the wall be one and two
that would be that would be six and seven on the planet that I'm from but
that's okay I'm sticking it that's where it's going okay now we just got to get
level just chilling it's going great we're making patterns on the wall mhm
yep very nice love
it these things are super cool they do
USB 1 2 and three which is more difficult than you'd think over fiber so
you plug in all your peripherals your keyboard your mouse your headphones blah
blah blah you put that next to your monitor and then this box plugs into the
host computer somewhere the freak else like really far away and then you can
connect it using any generic fiber optic cable so you can use om3 or om4 uh this
is multimode fiber and it has an LC connector on it right here and it's
going to work as long as the ones in the wall aren't broken oh cool there is a
way to fix the orientation uh a lot of the designs show them like a this and we
have them like a this but luckily it knows that you just click 30° boom it
actually tells you what port you need to plug it in cuz it does sort of matter
there's an input port and then the rest of the ports you use don't matter but
you kind of need to know where your next hex goes and the app tells you which
port to plug it into depending on the design you've made in the app which we
didn't do ahead of time it would have saved us probably a few minutes at least
next panel so this is just checking to make sure it's right that's right right
right right correct correct correct
yay are your lights correctly calibrated
yes oh look at that sick the lights you're seeing here are Go's Glide hexa
lights they're fully customizable to any shape you can dream up in HEX form can
display anything from sick Rainbow gamer RGB to soothing static colors and like
the majority of Go's lineup are more affordable than similar products from
other companies Dan where where' Dan go I swear to God who
plugs a who plugs a wallboard into a
power strip like this last time I unplugged anything you yelled at me so
yeah to be fair what do you mean unplug I did plug this in look what he's saying
is you're a bully you're bullying him and I will not stand for it I will not
Dan for it how's it going that looks High refresh right that's it what did
you have to do I dis I disabled the
other monitor and you know what I think it is that other monitor is a TV right
now it's connected via HDMI this is awesome okay can you switch though I
that I don't know this doesn't even have a scroll lock button bloody hell both
left control yeah that doesn't seem to work Jake you
stand here credit for this idea he didn't film what I just said I'm I'm not
taking credit for the idea taking credit for my idea we should go test the keyboard to make sure that we actually
need to use that Port is what I said yes you stand tell me if it's okay go who's
even issuing instructions here you can see there's an LED on the front you can
see if it worked this goes to the monitor in the land room this goes to
the what will be the like the land gaming PC this goes to my machine and
then basically the two displays the one up there and the one there are plugged
separately into my machine then either through the KVM or directly and then
they're just cloned in Windows so that whenever I switch over to my computer
over there they're just cloned and you
know yeah someone sitting up there could see what game I'm playing or whatever
but it's my own home like it's there's there's not a privacy concern there the
concern that we do have is that it seems like your keyboard and mouse have to be
plugged into these console ports let's
see if this works control control 2 oh
why am I doing this I'm just going to call Wendell hello hello sir hello is
this is this level one tech support do do do you manufacture
kvms I do nice I'm glad to hear it uh
hey man I got a quick question you know
how there's the hi D ports on the KVM
and they say to plug the keyboard and mouse in there Y what if I only live once and I
want to plug my keyboard and mouse into a hub that goes into the USBC console
Port uh it would be there tell usba a so
there's C on the back the C on the back is for the output and there's a usb3
port on the front and the rear yeah and that's where you want to use a hub if
you're GNA need okay but will the are the the shortcuts supposed to work like
control control one and two and all that nonsense if I don't use the hid
ports no on the usb3 port so you get into weird problems this is why kbm suck
usually is usually if you sniff the if
you sniff the protocol um it will it
will interfere with some protocols because it doesn't know if it's a keyboard or whatever else so the hit
ports Sniff and the non-hit ports don't
sniff got it so the answer then is no I
cannot plug my keyboard and mouse into the usb3 port if you want the keyboard
shortcuts I've got some extenders that are coming I'm doing the HD if you want
to look it up it's HD uh HD base T it's
a standard from the HDMI people but it'll do USB and HDMI and everything
over cat 6 even up to USB 2.0 and a little bit we can almost call it USB 2.1
but not quite oh I but I have cat six to each of these and I'm not using them oh
my gosh we could totally use the Ethernet we could just use the Ethernet
for a USB extension yes we don't even have to use Wendell's thing we can just
buy something else sorry Wendell that's
fine be over the thing and that will
work fine I didn't even think of that freaking genius man dude I love you you
know what that's I'll say
it awkward I do my best so we just need
Ethernet to USB yes to make a little you can probably find a numpad that would
work or something like that yeah this is awesome Hey where's the other RGB the
thing is we have some questions so we have the the Loosey Goosey one the one
thing to consider with these ones is they don't have command strip mounts they're like 3M double-sided tape so if
we put it on the wall it's staying in that configuration I was kind of
thinking what if we just put it along the back of the desk or on the top of
the desk even cuz it's diffused it looks nice we also have a really long one we
can put around the edge of the room really we have some standard RGB strips
as well is that the one oh this is cool this one looks sick uh it's a backlight
like an Ambiance thing that takes whatever's on your screen and displays
it on the wall behind it oh I've seen that kind of thing before it actually is
like pretty cool the only thing is it's a very dark wall and you guys already
put it ONN your RGB back there we'll have more different more RGB the reason
that this kit is good if you're gaming
latency is a big problem right you want to keep your latency low so most kits
are a pass through and you put a little Hub in the midd middle that captures the color data that's going to add latency
this kit it has a camera a camera and
these have little stands too so you don't even have to what are these These are the lights you don't have to take
wait there is there is more lights no there's more so there's what the back of
the Monitor and there's two little light bars this is amazing so you're supposed
to make a shape out of it oh I see so you could like yeah you can make
whatever oh okay so we could do like a heart you know like a live love laugh
Style I'm thinking just like something kind of
like funky and Abstract or something I don't know are you busy you know just
working on yeah yeah that's fine just come help I mean you don't need to
account I don't need to get paid it's fine you don't need to get paid no okay
sure wait I mean I mean Dan doesn't need to get paid so there's like I was
thinking like like some kind of like abstract squiggle do dad on here on that
wall we could put the the monitor RGB around Yoda what wait we could RGB Yoda
yeah yes we could RGB literally anything
else RGB Yoda anything else you want no RGB Yoda I thought that was your
aunt well that's what you said last time that's what I said last time painted by
my aunt yes I she's here by the way so she I met her she was lovely I know you
told her her painting was awful okay so Jake's doing a weird squiggly pattern um
Good Luck well unless Ivon you have a better idea I don't right now but see
you later if I want to commit to a weird that's what's going on your wall
committed because when you pull things off it like takes off the paint oh that
looks kind of cool it's like e wire it's
man if we had more time we can totally like make it it sound reactive look at
that I like it how do you do crab Rave I
don't
know should we give it a little bit of thought first like are we well I mean
I'm going to start it here right where that I just stuck that one wait what
that's where it's starting we are supposed to be done shooting this video in in about 20 minutes how's that going
everybody we will be done in 20 minutes that is not the most symmetrical thing
I've ever seen Dan neither am I can I
just say that this looks freaking awesome did anyone else actually step
back and have a look at this yet this is amazing we've been putting RGB on the
wall thank you very much man what a day which actually reminds me we're doing an
exclusive series on Floatplane.com a day in the life of I think the first
one's going to be Riley where basically like they just follow him around with the camera what he does all day yeah I'd
be curious to know what people do all day around here man this is not a great game to demo this with it's all just the
same colors for the most part hey there's different colors look it's like
all like gold and stuff is this a bad guy I actually don't know you have gray
and light gray apparently and gold gray
gamer and blue gray yeah what do you guys think that's good I like it what's
your favorite color everything okay well that's the
color you got right now so you're good really that's it
thanks thanks GOI GOI has a wide range
of products including their wall lights hexa lights LED strips floor lamps and
much more they're pretty affordable compared to the competitors and they
look awesome many of their lights including their Glide series are even a
Wi-Fi or bluetooth enabled for smart functionality so check out the links in
the description for where you can buy your very own lights kids looks cool
right yeah okay there you go kid
approved also their pretty affordable compared to their competitors and I I

proceeded to totally trash it in this video which is great I'm so glad I
wasn't here for that thanks thanks
