WEBVTT

00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:08.440
server racks they're kind of like knock to a fans or construction equipment in

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:16.160
that the only people they're winning any style points with are the folks who have

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:18.560
this like deep appreciation for utility

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:24.480
that's the way it's always been and that's the way that it looked like it

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:28.119
was going to be forever until now clay

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.359
Tech a division of iar USA with whom

00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:36.000
we've worked in the past on our surveillance server our pfSense router

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:42.440
that we DIY over a span of months as well as our off-site backup server has

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:46.120
actually designed and manufactured a

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:51.760
piece of what they're calling it

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:55.640
Furniture the WT retro style

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:59.559
rack so let's have a look and see what

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.559
one of those is

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:16.159
zot GTX 1080 mini is extremely Compact

00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.320
and Powerful measuring just 8.3 in in

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.880
length check it out at the link in the video

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:27.680
description I actually have no idea how much these things cost I have no idea

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:35.360
how many of them have been made they are listed as build to order on the clay Tac

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:38.159
site but what I do know is that like for

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:44.600
a company whose experience is mostly in building black nondescript

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:46.200
boxes the craftsmanship is looking not

00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:50.600
bad all right Brandon you win your battle it looks like we're taking this

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:53.759
tablecloth off

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.619
fine here it is

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.680
oh man that's

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.519
heavy very well packed that's for sure

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:23.080
so they've actually got a bunch of different models available everything

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:25.000
from a very very small very shallow

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:33.959
cabinet all the way to one that's actually quite a bit larger and deeper

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:38.319
than this one so I went for a 9 U 450 mm

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:40.480
so that's 45 cm deep cabinet so

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:48.319
obviously something like this wouldn't be suitable for mounting you know like

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.720
uh like a really long storage server or

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:58.760
anything like that but if you're looking for a super cool place to put some AV

00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:01.480
Equipment or uh you know some Network

00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:08.959
switches or or you know a very very small machine this is looking pretty

00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:11.120
good let's flip it over so I've clearly

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:18.360
got it upside down okay so the craftsmanship is not

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.879
perfect um you know Steve Jobs you know

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:26.040
cable managed the inside of you know laptops and phones probably wouldn't be

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:34.159
that impressed with the uh the wood trim not meeting up here and with these kind

00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:36.000
uh unimpressive plastic feet but let's

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:42.400
go ahead and turn it over and see what the tops like maybe it makes up for it

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:45.360
in the parts that you actually see so

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:52.760
much like a sort of retro styled trunk or case you've got uh is

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:57.159
this actual leather they're actually leather I mean

00:03:55.959 --> 00:04:03.079
I guess it's one of those things where if you're going to go rward you might as

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:06.040
well go full full RW so the handles on

00:04:03.079 --> 00:04:16.319
the sides the corner protectors here and here are all genuine leather now ah

00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.319
let's put some gear in it shall

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:25.199
we it's about a half an hour till WAN Show so I'm thinking uh let's put all of

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.520
our audio equipment in it what could go wrong Focus rate just set us up with

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:34.639
this stuff and this is a this is exactly the the kind of thing that I would

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:38.479
expect someone to put in a piece of you

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.479
know rack equipment like

00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:46.600
this remember kids always take a picture of the back

00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:50.600
before disassembling something that you don't know how to put back

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:55.160
together sh

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.160
sh

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:05.199
sh it's M5 threaded rather than having

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:10.560
um like what you'd see in a full-size cabinet with the inserts on the back and

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:12.280
the much heavier threading so I really

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:19.199
wouldn't recommend mounting anything super heavy in here but man once you get

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:23.919
some actual gear in here I don't know what it is about the aesthetic of like

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:28.880
audio equipment and this retro kind of charm

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:35.039
that we got going on here but I think this thing looks really cool actually I

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.000
had a thought I've got this chassis

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:42.319
sitting around from uh actually it's an iar USA chassis that I was supposed to

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:48.840
do a project with and never got around to it um and it looks like no that was a

00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:55.039
bit of an oversight when it comes to the design of

00:05:51.479 --> 00:05:58.720
this thing so 1 two 3 one two 3 one two

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:01.080
3 one two 3 yeah so if they had thought

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:05.680
of it they could have made it so that the bottom Hol is lined up perfectly for

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:12.280
something to sit right on the bottom but as it is you would actually have to

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:15.800
support it off of these screws which I I

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:17.840
don't think would be recommended however

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:23.080
if you did just want to like ghetto mount it then you could throw some kind

00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:27.639
of a storage machine or some kind of a processing machine down here in the

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:33.160
bottom no big deal okay I got a couple more things I got a network switch and

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.319
our old ice scuzzy box here just to fill it up have a look at what that's going

00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:44.199
to look like and uh oh man yeah see this one

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:51.120
this network switch is pretty heavy and you

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:55.720
go a I put it in upside

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:57.319
down ah whatever yeah that lineus guy

00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:01.520
what does he know about rack mounting things let's put this baby in

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:11.160
that looks so cool I love

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:14.520
it it's like freaking amazing it's like

00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.520
on the one side it's like oldfashioned

00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:22.039
and retro and the other side it's like oh my

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:25.840
goodness look at all these dials and

00:07:22.039 --> 00:07:28.720
buttons but now the final

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:35.800
Benchmark those leather handles how do they hold up to it actually being

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:39.039
loaded oh okay hold

00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:42.000
on you know what I'm going heavy side

00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:42.000
heavy side on my

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.560
side okay hold

00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.639
on have you ever thought to yourself hm

00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:55.520
what would it be like if I wanted to talk to my you know mobile carrier and I

00:07:53.319 --> 00:08:00.280
called them up and just got put through directly to someone who's ready to talk

00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.400
to me well then you probably use Ting

00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:08.440
cuz that's exactly what happens Ting is all about customer satisfaction first

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:13.360
you call in you talk to a person and you pay for only what you use with the

00:08:10.840 --> 00:08:18.319
average Ting bill being only 23 bucks a month they've got lower mobile data

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:23.199
rates across the board just $10 per gig beyond the first gig and they'll cover

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:29.520
25% of your cancellation fee from your existing plan up to 75 bucks pretty cool

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:34.240
so head over to lin. thing.com and try out their savings calculator to

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:38.519
see if you'll save by switching to Ting then when you use our link you can get

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:45.480
25 bucks towards a new device or in service credit woo listing.com

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:48.000
do not even lift okay so the handles are

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.800
holding up fine but I don't think I can move it on my own

00:08:51.399 --> 00:09:00.279
anymore so thank you for checking out today's episode of holy sh the most
