hey this is a super weird man caveman on the
last Intel xtreme tech upgrade where my staff get kitted out with 5 000
tech makeovers dennis showed us the true meaning of stretching a dollar
not to be outdone andy has taken it a step further not only spending his
entire allotment on what is going to be a sick
man cave but even soliciting free labor
from his boss yes my friends i am going
to be painting andy's basement so if
you'll excuse me a moment i just have to undergo a transformation here
smooth let's go
this is your this is my pc setup man cave
um baby really does change your life doesn't it yeah
you see i have no keyboard and this place is like so dusty because i don't
have time to clean them and that pc haven't been turned on for like three or
four months oh my god what the hell dude this room used to be our room and i have
like the king size bed wait right now so the baby ended up with this bed yeah
and you got that one no one of the best pieces of parenting
advice i ever got was you gotta hit them while they're young okay that way they
fear you but they don't remember why okay yeah hold on a second this this is
a sick machine yeah wait what you got like what is this 2080 ti 2080ti in
there and 8600k but
but how how are we supposed to upgrade this uh
3080. okay fair enough hey Linus you say
you love peel right love peels no
wait what the hell when there's this much dust on top of
something yeah it's too long for the peel to still be on it when you bought a
thing then after one year you peel you have oh i just bought a new thing that
type of feeding there's a special place in hell for people who don't peel the
covers off their electronics speaking of peels
that's medical tape i probably wouldn't put that on paint by the way stolen from
office it doesn't surprise me is your baby a
light sleeper at all yeah got one two three oh my god this layer's the best
the cardboard
i just don't want to wake him up he cries so loud last time a show on my
ipod watch is like 112 decibel
okay so this is where you've been doing your gaming no oh that's an imac i
switched mac since 2009 i think then
after that i had no gaming pc and all my
monitor including that one was 60hz okay yeah we're going to get this sorted
out for you andy yeah we're going to get this taken care of here this is number
two this is strike two for stolen from the office i stolen that because we're
building a pc today i haven't seen this at the office in a while and i always
recognize it it's got the green tape on it is this you're not feeding that that
will lose the volume of it it'll lower the value it'll lower the money off it
how much will it drop the value it's like a couple hundred bucks that's the price i'm willing to no
thing is andy why do you really need like a sick home theater set up
downstairs you've already got one here although i have to confess i'm a little
confused that you have the ps4 sitting collecting dust upstairs oh that's davis
yes three yeah it's also collecting dust step to the tv no it's not it's just
sitting it's just decoration yeah decoration now all right cool
oh oh you found it oh you found it so why do you need to
set up downstairs then this seems pretty good this is 1080p this is the first it
still had a peel on it yeah you see i have a theater setup here but i can't
really use it because my in-laws sometimes just like lay down here until
maybe 12-ish you can't make noise because the baby's a late sleeper you
can't be here because the in-laws occupy this space yeah all right i understand
now hey lioness you see are you kidding
me i'm sorry you're right i give up i can't remove all of these sticks okay
that's wasn't from me that's from my in-law if i didn't know better andy i
think you're some kind of camera equipment hoarder yes this is a filming
monopod yeah so the baby when he like you know eating here he can just you
know look at all those cute animals it's on
my way to start painting i'm pretty sure this is stolen from the office yes and
our last stop before we get started is taking a look at andy's haul he's gone
with an lg c10 65-inch OLED tv a pretty
sick looking of course small form factor
gaming setup so we've got a z490i gaming
10850k we've got 32 gigs of 3600
megahertz vengeance lpx and of course an rtx 3080 founders edition and he's
got a few non-pc upgrades as well you've gone with the oculus quest too so that
way i can play you know be safer with you guys and also onward with that very
nice and then what is this this uh this doesn't even look brand new it's film
scanner there's no way you can get that brand new you know i can finally you
know scan my phone film because i developed at home and also i scanned it
all by myself right so this just seems a little bass ackwards to me though if you
want a digital copy of it why don't you just shoot on digital you know i i like
grainy you know those film green but i don't like noise
it's different and we've also got some nano leaves cool and i have no idea
what's in these boxes we'll get to that after this is the case
what really this is the case that's your case that's my pc case oh nice it's
gonna be interesting from ikea no
tell me something andy you did the prep for this did you sand this putty at all
before you painted over it i was holding this like at pretty late night so
i sent it down but probably not i didn't do good job paint does not fill paint
just colors so this basement used to be a work area for the previous owner he
does a lot of like wooden work so he just like have the shop back on that way
and run the run the you know pvc pipe this way i'm not gonna run a shop back
so i'm probably gonna take those now i can see why you asked me to bring my own
painting supplies also this is oh andy you didn't
what you got i don't really know how to store them you got two gallons of paint
to do that couple walls washable flat most people put eggshell
on the walls oh yeah because i want to have no reflection i want that setup to
be a you know color grading dance or entertainment thing all right i'm doing
it more stolen goods what these skateboards from Channel Super Fun
that's under the uh like the yeah donate pile uh-huh you've got more stuff from
the office than dennis even that's a race how long have you had this paint
a couple days oh okay it's separating a little bit but it should be fine how do
you settle on this color because this thing is 50
gray doesn't really have any healing so you know photography nerd is that how
you shake your paint uh it's a harder shake no this is how i
shake it it kind of makes me feel like there's no
point brushing along the top there's already roller marks on all these beams
so this is the form dt1
which is another custom like uh small form factor case is there is there a
manual type of thing like i don't see any like documentation you need some
tech tips over there andy uh you wanna go take a look off the case ah sorry i'm
busy pro tip never hire a painter that puts painting
tape all over your trim you wanna know why because anyone who needs to use
painting tape is not a very good painter so this is the back plate of the case
it's like full seam seed very beautiful design i'm pretty sure
alex will love this the paint store loves selling you all these accessories
to do a professional job you know they get you like a trim roller you know
special thing to put in your bucket you know what a professional needs
this that's it so on top you can either put a
240 radiator with same fan but today i'm
building a um air cool system then i'm
gonna just have like those two knuckles fun
sitting on top of there yeah like that never do with a brush
what you can do with a roller
get in there yeah there we go look at that unlike the conventional pc
this thing has some power button of a
you know waterproof thread
thread that in just like that nice and flash hey andy
yes first coat's done you want to see it all right now i know you said i didn't
need to do a great job wow but i did it anyway look at that perfectly cut line
so you didn't use like any painter's tape of course not a professional i'm
impressed look at the perfect i know you're a professional but i don't know
you're that professional so then motherboard why'd we go with this motherboard very simple it's small fully
featured fits in the case yeah supports 10th gen Intel cpus and we're not going
to use the doesn't have dual m.2 on this one yeah it has to um too but yeah we're
just going to use a SATA drive because andy had
a lot of hardware kind of lying around already yeah this machine is going to be
freaking crazy you're totally going to be able to game like 4k 120. yeah anyway
the damn thing oh god so for the CPU i'm going with the core
i9 10 a 50k even though i'm not going to
overclock but because the higher base clocks and also 10 cores which means i
can do my professional work and also you know play some high refresh rate gaming
for the cooler i'm actually going with the naltua
12s which is like l-shaped low-profile
type of cooler so pretty much this is the best cooler that can actually fit in
this case for the RAM i'm going with the Corsair engine lpx because um it's low
profile and that can fit underneath the cooler so that's why and also sound like
a broken record i went with this one because it fits in this case yeah and
also like 3 600 megahertz not bad it's fast
uh i think we have a little bit of situation here there's the clearance
problem the RAM set is okay but this
side is like slightly taller so we need to use a smaller fan it's fine like the
one that i use in my goals it has like a 92 millimeter fan we could also just
remove that shroud oh this might all be one piece with the vrm
cooling it's fine i can use that other cooler oh my god it's there's a heat
pipe with the whole thing yeah okay it's not coming off so do you have another
fan yeah i do oh no
i told you i told you twice but i i thought you
meant there was just like another one that was an option i didn't think you
like had it on hand oh like it's in my ghost well look i've been over there
painting walls okay i didn't you know what thanks for your hard work
you've definitely got a type andy yep rd motherboard Intel CPU Corsair RAM
did you go Corsair power supply again yep the same i'm gonna take this one and
put it in oh you're oh you're still i'm really using it it's gonna be the same
thing but like most like beefy though it's like when your new
girlfriend meets your ex-girlfriend and is like it's like looking in a mirror
okay what's sick about the c10
it's basically everything it's OLED so you got those perfect blacks
it's high refresh rate so you get that smoothness when you're gaming
it's got support for variable refresh rate which means
g-sync baby no tearing i mean what's not to like
it's expensive but hey andy yeah did you pay for it
uh no okay cool
yeah exactly so everything's taken care of it occurs to me though hey andy do
you have a couch down here or what no i don't have a couch but i'm gonna have a
bed here you know those professional color grading room they just have like
all the directors sitting here on the couch but i'm gonna replace that couch
basically bed oh my god what kind of fancy bias lighting is this isv color
accuracy certified hey is also like 98
plus cri nothing is 80 bucks i paid my like own money on it what why it's
professional nerd
i was pulling the power supply out oh my god i may snap the SSD don't get too
relieved here but i think you are probably okay it did not snap off in
here so it's possible that it's just bent but not broken one thing i will say
is cool about your fancy led strip andy is they use kind of a flexible pcb so
you can actually go around corners with it wow oh my god i've already cable
managed things on top of the peel on the back i guess it's staying on
hey get oh oh god this is not
this is not equally okay
uh is that about the same distance yeah that's pretty close
what it's not that bad yeah it's pretty good
it's good it's pretty even yeah to your standard even now oh shut up
so david i got an update for you on the
3080 hey so i already put the uh power supply and
SSD in there same thing to the 3080 this
is the only card that can fit in this case in this configuration i bet you
could have fit a cheaper card in there yeah but like 30 80 you know who's gonna
say no to a 38.
here we go whoa wait wait wait wait wait wait don't drop my tv i know you dropped things i'm
good hey hey hey lioness i'm gonna help
her here i gotta do the maneuver that's painful to watch oh i'll grab it
it's a little high andy or i can just drink more and guy high wait what
andy do you have a plan for like a floor covering in here nope really yeah i just
blew all my money on tech you know
i'm asian we're sleeper so the bed will
be somewhere in this area like right up next right in the center where's the pc
go then the pc is going to be sitting on my desk oh it goes way over there yeah
oh oh my god andy's office thieving saves the day oh
absolute mad lad
is there enough room oh
god hold on i'm just gonna tuck myself into
the wall here so andy tell me something yeah
has ariel like kicked you out of the bedroom
i found the mattress and i also found some more stolen goods from the office
no that's like you donate those to me oh is this from the office too yeah oh okay
how much stuff do people just like take home from the office
hey this is a super weird man caveman i
don't even know what to tell you guys but like it's not my place to judge and
i just i've just killed my health that's it um andy do you have power
yeah it's it's from the office but like i
don't really have time now to grab the extension officially the new winner
look at this thing it's like not much bigger than an xbox series x like it is
bigger but it also got a 10 core at like
five point whatever gigahertz and a 30 80.
it's freaking crazy that GPU is not powered on andy
you said you were 100 sure the PCIe power was in yeah what's this
what is that PCIe power
god damn it andy why do people have to stress me out in
this manner hey david is this level or lightness
yeah it looks good okay i really like the photo oh thank you i can send you one if you want is
that your photography yeah oh wow this is uh highway one and this
is yellowstone what really yeah highway one uh not like the california hybrid
one oh cool yeah so lighting wise i also
got the benq screen bar plus it's an unmonitored light
that i can you know just hang it on top of a monitor you know i still
remember when benq launched their like home lighting series i was a product
manager at ncix and i was like
who the hell would buy a benq desk light you buying it i finally found someone
eight years later the color temperature can go from 2700 kelvin to 6500 kelvin i
believe 6 500 kelvin is the monitor y
point which is why i'm so picky of those led strips and also
the screen bar got it yeah because i want color accuracy you talk about
gaming a lot but yeah this really feels more like an ultimate
setup you got the bed in front of the tv you got the vr headset
and this is my own space oh it's all quiet and everything oh look
at him look look look at this turning red what
no you're really red the drive is not showing up which means
we might not be out of the woods on that bent connector just yet did i break it
well i don't know it's also possible you just didn't plug it in i'm 99.9 percent
for that collectively it's not plugged in andy i must be like it must be like
you're killing me here i think that's a good sign we're loading
yes that is a very good sign lions i'm sorry i dammit your wall okay
i mean my wall well whatever the good news is you're putting the nanoleaf
thing there so okay that's not exactly a 6500 kelvin whatever you're talking
about no i thought you said there was no RGB in this setup no no RGB in the pc
but like RGB on the uh on the wall you know who doesn't really like RGB all
right fine whatever i just don't like RGB whatever helps you sleep at night
did we pull it off is this it i think this is how's the experience you know
what it's actually not that stupid so there's
only one more piece that remains to go on it's this pegboard yeah and since
i've got i've got lanchow half an hour ago at home not here oh you
still lighter yeah you can put that we'll put that on later it's fine it's
game time you know yeah yeah i'm gonna play a game right now i'm gonna put it
there people can imagine what it'll be like once that's there so they're all
gone and then you drop it yeah of course
oh
Linus did you just break my bed
like this
for the purposes of finishing the video here um you just fake it well it's time
for a couch i can't watch anymore
because you destroyed my bed
all right how's the gaming experience andy oh it's great like
never seen before oh oh man
like even crashing the wall feels like smoother yeah that actually looks
fantastic the only thing remaining then is this that's right andy
i'm doing it we're not leaving that on in the meantime
