Jake Bell appreciates Cutting Edge technology but doesn't like to look at
it hence the dinosaur man music discs and is this your phone brother I don't
make many calls so his goal was simple to spend every last penny of AMD's
$5,000 on a sick Tech upgrade that I
wouldn't be able to find I accept your challenge no all older more stolen how
about down here Pokémon Ruby my favorite one Tech deck you're not going to find
anything what about this Wireless Communications device uh actually this
is pretty old yeah it's got the new Wi-Fi
3 aha I knew I'd find something old
record but about a new video game that out damn it there it is how is this
hidden you've got so much stuff there's a pinball machine how is this the
stealthy upgrade okay we're going to figure that out but first we got to roll
that intro
AMD ultimate Tech upgrade is back which means it's time for another giveaway
they're going to be giving out three Sapphire Nitro plus RX 7800 XTS it's a
great card for 1440p high refresh rate gaming with 16 gigs of video memory all
you have to do is check out our Twitter which we're going to have linked down below for a chance to win thanks AMD for
sponsoring this series and for giving away cool stuff in all seriousness this
probably is a good time to explain what's going to be stealthy about this
setup my understanding is most of your upgrade is going to end up hidden inside
the pinball machine that we definitely didn't accidentally break as we were
bringing it up the stairs Elijah there's no video proof you have
no evidence it was me true you do have my track record though did you really
put extra holes in someone's wall again into his house did Elijah work on this
what won't be hidden is all the stolen goods from the office that uh yeah you
trying to stand in front of it really I'm getting a collection the fact that
you're collecting it doesn't make it not
taken debatable the UK would like a word
backpack that's not mine I think that one's mine that was mine another LT
backpack also not mine one Jonathan Horst hosted of Mac Address help
me I have no explanation oh my God
there's another one of these green water bottles you have every size mhm there's
no way anyone actually bought a homepod this has got to be from the office
Christmas party I've got three pictures lest in my house this one's my favorite
what the hell it's in your bedroom you got to remember who you're doing it for
well not not it like who you wake up for in the
morning see I thought he was talking about this one and I didn't want toake
acknowledge it no the top one what
they're the same Spot the Difference ones have been kissed twice as
much hey guys and you're having fun but
can the first thing you upgrade please be the Wi-Fi network uh yeah let's do
that let's let's do that now oh wow that'll be a big upgrade we're going
ubiquity with the U7 Pro Wi-Fi 7 baby
can you tell Jake help me with my list of things to upgrade yes I can the
ubiquity are is real to go with that we've got a UniFi Express so this is
going to be your router looks like an Apple TV uh let's go ahead and do a
quick before test you have gigabit internet and this is your Wi-Fi what are
you doing brother not downloading question for you this has
only got two Ethernet ports on it one going to the ISP box and then one
presumably going to our U7 Pro but Belle has a wired computer right here do we
have a switch we don't actually have a switch but these can actually work in
mesh Network oh is this also Wi-Fi 7
yeah this is Wi-Fi 6 oh this is Wi-Fi 7
but they can run in a mesh mode that sounds like an unnecessary
compromise I also have a switch Belle has a switch Belle has a switch let's
use it this is part of the upgrade no you just have a brand new inbox TP-Link
switch no I just keep the boxes for everything really yeah my closet full of
boxes and all my dresser drawers you got to keep boxes for everything what if you
want to sell it oh we're zooming now
pretty much a gig that's more like it that is not pretty much a gig but that
is more like it let's go ahead and get the U7 Pro connected and see how fast
this thing can zoom though lonus wasn't wrong I did kind of break it carrying it
in but we're going to fix that right now with some wood glue kind of oh I got to
siphon it stop what it's not coming out and if
I bang it it closes it it's oh no what
are you doing oh I see getting glue out I just need a chopstick or something
oh we got incest here I incense
sorry okay we we got to get it into the crack yeah it's in there no no you had
it in there no it's not in the crack I'm in the crack Elijah it's not in the
crack oh do we just nail it in oh it's
in oh is it yeah it was
me oh it's smoking unplug what did you
do what I plugged back in to test if I
could get it working was this cable uhhuh and this ribbon
cable okay I did not touch anything else when plugging it back in and I saw the
smoke coming from the bottom corner here
it's dead this right here is an HDMI port but this cable is not an HDMI
connector do not plug into TVs this is a pretty common thing especially with
smaller companies where they will reuse an existing standard port or cable
because they know that it's reliable but Carrie completely different signals or
even power over it and I think what happened is we created a power Loop
where we powered this board and then output power into this board in a way
that it was not intended to be powered and fried it the good news is Elijah is
not actually dead he'll be up in a moment and we are going to proceed with
the rest of the upgrade and then Elijah is going to fix it that will be his
Redemption Arc and we will shoot that at the end Elijah can I give you a task
that has no electricity yes sir can you please wall mount that AP also hey can
we do a speed test on that AP now let's have some good news I'm really sorry
Belle dude your Wi-Fi is bugged 900
megabit your ISP is fine this is what I get for trust and Jake tyy now it's not
the frame now it's the
door it's a frame it's the frame TV from
Samsung okay chosen for its
matte screen clean aesthetic before this
I had an s95 B why black rectangle on
your wall ugly matte artwork
pretty you didn't I went from a 65 in s95 B to this 55 in Samsung frame with
the teak frame that goes around
it I'm so unhappy right
now that's more like here we
go boys nice that's pretty sweet the matte
screen is really nice I got to give you that thank you I just want you guys to
know you're doing great I keep hitting my head on this stupid wind
chime stop that looks flipping awesome
let's get this cable managed a little bit we got the LTT Store cable ties it's
going to go in the pinball machine this is going in the pinball machine everything is this shelf will not be
here what else is going to go in here the Apple TV the computer itself what
yeah oh I don't know if that's a good idea you guys
why uh ventilation well funny that you say that
we actually had Justin test fit everything beforehand I was just about
to pull this top off and you'll see what we solved for ventilation we've got two
no a fans in the front here and then we've got one in the back as well as an
extra hole for cables to run out okay I
don't think that's going to be enough we did it like this because it would be
like kind of cleaner I didn't want to punch more holes through it well you
know what it's a pretty minor thing to go in here after and put in a couple
more fans okay okay cool they're only
fans realistically we weren't ready to install this yet anyway because that is
not a Radeon 7900 XTX Bel do you want to get me your new GPU Phantom gaming thank
you you're so welcome wait what is this this is a 39 90 yeah you already had a
pretty decent GPU I got the only thing better fair enough all right I like your
broken PCIe bracket if there's anything wrong in there it's Chase's faults he
built me this PC cuz I don't know how to build a PC well here why am I doing this
then time to install a GPU well there's a broken bracket in there you're setting
me up for failure no no it makes it easier where'd you get this is this even
new this looks scuffed yeah but curan again you told them to get you a us naaz
I will put up the parts list right right here so you can see oh it's literally
quite Dusty yeah it's got dust bunnies in it it's I mean 12 tabes of you know
NAS drive storage also did you feel that power button truly awful that's what
these feel like they have small fingers so I guess it it's easier that's this
kind of switch well no you can't press it like that you got to use the Fig it's
not for your thumb yeah well while you're installing the GPU I'm not
installing the GPU you're installing the GP are you sticker bumping this sure
it's really good though really fast great for 4K gaming I mean what else can
I really say about it what else do you want out of a GPU it's great for high
refresh rate 4K gaming all right holy this thing is big is this bigger than my
other GPU I believe so yeah I mean not that it's a competition but yeah it is
and I'm winning oh these are your stickers for
the qap ooh all right going straight for
Bobby Hill yeah no I shouldn't because I want Bobby Hill on top okay wo W you
can't plug it in yet you're missing no oh there you go can I pull it into a
different one you could but I wouldn't why because that top one is
PCIe Gen 5 the card's not PCIe Gen 5 but
yeah it's also using 16 Lanes directly off of the CPU and so those are your
fastest lowest latency bestest Lanes this actually the first time I've seen
the screwdrive screwdriver shaft extension where can I buy it short
circuit.com Bella is the channel manager for ShortCircuit by the way yeah that's
why he's wearing the ShortCircuit T-shirt oh you're wearing ShortCircuit too oh yeah look at that we're is the
best merch we have I know you were feeling some trepidation before but am I
doing a good job you've done five
stickers you didn't even take off the like instruction thing on the side well
I'm going to cover it that's a sticker all right balls I will have you know I
am taking so long because I'm trying to do a good job and let me tell you you
certainly are trying how's the computer doing we're going to post it right now
and make sure it works all right what the hell is that picture about why do
you look so unhappy about the money B why do you have the official short
circuit account on your computer Resident Evil 4 great
game you can buy that right uh it I have
short ShortCircuit has I think
technically you're actually not supposed to do that is there something Elijah and
Colin can work on right now uh I have a really big mirror that I can't hang by
myself it be great if they did is that part of your upgrade yeah of course
you're just getting free labor it was not part of your upgrade is it smart
yeah it's a smart mirror what smart about it I could check that I'm looking
smart how many holes are you going to put in it twice as many as I need to
when I asked if you had mounting hardware you just brought over a bag of
everything that you've probably ever mounted before yeah why would I throw it
away no but I I need the specific hardware for
it uh there's
one so it will not be good on the wall
so why don't you just use those Anor things cuz it's like really heavy and
there's only two of them oh no there's three what's the worst that could
happen I hope it falls on you good all
right well hey hey hey we did it and I
didn't drill any extra holes come on in Belle take a look at
your mirror wow it's a little
high it's really high it's not like an
inch too high it's like six in too high
yeah the best part is if you want me to lower it you're going to have two big
ass holes in your wall oh that's fine that's pretty
unbrand we did a great job that looks so
sick there you go should we maybe set it
up yes it should already be preconfigured raid five correct perfect
that means he can lose one of these drives outright like just you know lose
it I mean I mean if it fails anyway the
point is that he won't lose any data in that case and that'll leave him with 9
ter terabytes of usable space we were going to put that inside the pinball
cabinet but then thermal concerns also
yeah it looks great so now it goes on the Shelf yeah uh oh my gosh I thought
he was going to throw the camera next what is this membership nice yes thank
you I can read I mean does Samsung
expect you to buy the TV and then buy artwork they would like that but luckily
I take pictures so I'll just use my own art oh okay cool let's see uh hm good
job did you take it on an iPhone
4 listen this is helping cuz we have new
camera stuff from andd all right let's go have a look at the camera stuff then
uh you just got an alpha 6700 is this good yes I was looking at a couple
different options cuz I want something that can do video as well as photos
we'll do both very very well and then I got myself a uh fixed prime lens as well
really you have one good lens and you went with a prime yes I do a lot of
street photography
now you have to put I was leaning face down brother what his did you get his
butt in it yeah no you didn't you need to get a belt he didn't I I did Pan over
and zoom let's take a picture of the audience what that that's not that
that's not how that works don't you hate it when people take way too long to
press the shutter it's so annoying oh my God he finally bled got
him that looks like it's on purpose though I also got a shotgun
mic oh wow you got to be careful don't keep that
loaded wow my head looks so small I just have a giant head I'm sorry okay what's
up Gamers today we're building a PC in a pinball machine and we're going to spend
$100 let's go and then
cut if this computer doesn't boot now because you're finicking with it it's
going to boot watch it's going to boot here we go do you want me to push the
button do it here we go do it you coward
pretty cool eh yeah pointless but cool
what do you mean pointless why is it in here it was Biz idea is that the theme
of this instead of the stealthiest it's the stupidest upgrade no Dennis's
upgrade already exists okay fair the original plan was
to actually have this in the top compartment here the one connect box
yeah because we wanted the HDMI ports to be facing up so but that's really stable
now so well I mean it is if you don't move it I mean we can put it down here
there's just not a ton of room yeah we'll put it up here sure wait you're
going to VHB it like just with tape yeah
cuz the only way it's going to I take no responsibility for this I'm washing my
hands symbolically washing my hands I may have found a solution wait the glass
is going to be on yeah it helps with air flow no it doesn't yeah it does yeah I
was going to say how would that help with air flow it doesn't it's not how it works then why
do any computer case have glass on it dust what because people like to look at
their stupid RGB lights B I would like to apologize for
your upgrade being stupid what's the plan for the one connect cable it goes
down to the radiant heater and then just up or yeah that's how it was explained
to me okay and then what is the plan for the HDMI cable for the
Sonos oh my God you guys didn't think of this did you we have a long HDMI cable
really yes that's the plan yes this seems to be screwed directly into the
drywall and also the threads are to Al stripped out of it I can't even remove
the screw you just pull if you unscrew the
top one you can just pull yeah I see yeah wow what a good shelf we're going
to need some cable ties wow this looks like
ass we'll fix it fix it Mr Tech tips I
can't fix this I need a cable cover okay
cable ties hit me you know what's funny is Elijah unironically did a great job
of installing that AP and I think we're going to have to move it into the arcade
cabinet am I going to get any cable ties at some point ow yeah I deserve that all
right while there working on all that I do have some miscellaneous stuff like
the quest 3 now I bought
this no I just want to hear the reason you have a 7900 XTX and you're going to
play on that so I would like to know why so I love VR I've had most VR headsets
so when I saw the quest 3 I was like there's my next next headset the only
problem is is I want it for AR I actually want to learn piano a bit more
officially instead of just knowing songs and there's a past through game that
teaches piano no way all right let's see it the only problem is is that now I've
tried the Apple Vision Pro and I don't think I'm going to like this anymore
because the Apple Vision Pro is awesome have you tried the quest 3 well there's
more to do on the quest 3 so I'll give it that but uh I see the pass through is
not the same that Apple Vision pass through is insane but this has games
yeah and this you were able to afford all the rest of this stuff mhm so the
reason why I got the ubiquity was because I wanted to do airlink using the
quest 3 so I can play my PC VR games on this without a cable and it uses Wi-Fi
6E which obviously my $30 dink router does not do okay so so let's see it just
like that I'm in the metaverse
nice wow it that didn't feel good that was like motion sick already hands are
really weird you even well it has to decide
like what camera is showing your hand so it kind of warps around okay I almost missed but the hand
tracking for like using menus so none of the rest of this is getting well mounted
hey also you do know that you're supposed to have like 6 in off of these
heated baseboards especially in the winter right uh they don't work they
don't work no I'm just cold all the time I see yeah this looks too small for my
head now this looks like it's for children dude you know you have this on
upside down right no okay Bobo VR cuz
this is the it's just this is wrong they've sent me something wrong cuz look at this is supposed to be over the USBC
cable hold on one moment please stand
by there you go now it's right side up
oh my gosh this is a tech tip
every can you tell what I'm playing he definitely needs help with that I got to
slow down it's going too fast how do I choose speed slow down please
help me if you didn't know that he was doing
lessons right now you'd think it was just some kid at the airport
like okay this seems like user error
Bell can I try uh B
uping the demo wait it's not lined up with the
keys well there at least part of your problem every single one of these lines
is at the halfway point between two keys so always go to the right and now the
keyboard is here okay fine you can get a Vision Pro if you want let's go like I'm
not paying for it I just mean like I'll get it I'll understand you'll get it
let's go okay hey you bought some records huh
let's change the subject oh yeah the first one you've seen I kind of got it
as a gift to form you to me to symbolize
when I beat you on the Black Friday stream oh I got you this how much do you
think I paid for it I don't know 30 bucks
$400 I also bought this limited edition numbered 121 mint copy of Empire the sun
walking on a dream and how much you think I paid for this one with the lenticular display
more yes but only very slightly it's also pretty much
$400 he spent 20% of his budget yeah I
also went over by about $500 so I pretty much just bought one of the you brought
wow so you actually spent $500 of your own money to meme on me yes
Hey where's your Bluetooth oh it's over here okay also we need networking it's
coming out of the TV speaker is that a problem go no here we should out the TV
speaker what's it supposed to come out of the Sonos is it supposed to look like
this in here how do I plug that's why you wanted
to move it close to the wall before anyone got a chance to look in there we
still have to put this in no I already have an Ethernet in there where well where is it the white one it's not going
to reach Elijah oh crap you're right a
damn it I also got an Apple Watch I got this series 8 uh 45 mm we it was from
inventory we only had gold which I is not my preferred color but it does look
pretty slick and I do VR in the mornings I mean we got a gym membership through
work now so maybe not as much but it'd be good to track my heart rate see how
I'm doing also got an expensive coffee grinder spent about like $400 or $500 on
this so I can make espresso
espresso do you need $400 of grinding to
make espresso honestly for a good grinder that can do espresso and pour
over or anything like that you pretty much are spending hundreds of dollars
unfortunately honestly every time I do it I get so mad there Elijah you happy
lus I haven't I haven't been happy in about 25
years jeez perfect in between all this
chit chat Colin managed to get one thing done today he built this ottoman Colin
no it's for this oh oh wait what's it for oh is that new no but this goes with
my other well I guess the other final couple objects no we have a pillow a
pillow a lumbar pillow if you want to put that together I'll grab the other last thing it's from doen dooen which
means it's art it matches my uh uh
tissue box how much is this pillow I paid
$80 for this pillow and uh cover people
say our screwdrivers overpriced well both things can be
true if I win I get a bigger discount on the Apple Vision
Pro we're not even selling the Apple Vision Pro well went from okay you could
buy it to not that big of a discount to not selling I don't think I ever said
any of those things 530 frames per second let's go go away
rat okay my God stop bothering
me fine I'll leave not you surprisingly
even with the game running over there this is uh not loud guess that's what a layer of
MDF will do for you oh yeah those intake
C fans are working though a few moments
later we're back we got Belle an actual arcade cabinet this time instead of the
pinball machine so upgrade I don't know it still has actually the pinball
buttons on the side which is pretty cool so you could play some pinball games made by the same company has way more
room to fit the computer the one connect box and the Apple TV as well as we ran
an extra HDMI cable out the back in case a friend brings over like a Nintendo
switch or a PS5 or something or if a friend comes over at all but you know
are you okay with the arcade cabinet it's like you
know uh we also did some cable managing and I had some other things show up but
uh I think all we have to do is game make sure it all works yeah let's game
make sure everything works and he's happy with arcade cabinet you know now
that I'm sitting down Bell is this really the optimal sitting and gaming
experience with the TV all the way over there I mostly just watch NBA but again
I don't want my TV to be the center of my living room like I'd rather sit
across from my friends here in the camera and have a conversation with them
than like watching TV I see so the TV is
definitely second I'm purposely like this all the
time say hello to my big friend Mama Mia
now that's a spicy meatball we actually scaled our game down to 1440p 120 cuz
Bell only has an HDMI 2.0 cable well I wouldn't blame the cable it's actually
the TV itself is only HMI 2.0 which I
know it's not great it's a great TV it is a fault though uh so you can either
do 4K 60 or 1440p 1220 why again did you
change to the frame every point you keep bringing up is making me wish you didn't
change it looks so good when it's off
and I want my TV to be off
big black triangle is ugly okay well anyways we're playing
cyber Punk at 1440p with pretty much everything maxed out we have motion blur
off and we're averaging it seems like 110 to 120 FPS in game and some busy
areas looks really good yeah I really feel like I am a cyberpunk 2077 I got to
say this didn't go according to plan but I am pretty happy so I just want to say
thank you AMD thank you Elijah I forgive
you man thanks buddy thanks so much for watching if you
want to get your own 7900 XTX we'll have a link in the description and uh who's
AMD upgrade should they watch next Adam but CW Adam oh yeah his retro stuff was
awesome and Taylor Swift Center yeah
