WEBVTT 00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:07.520 maybe it's broken it should not make that noise 00:00:05.399 --> 00:00:12.519 gurgles okay cool it actually turned on for a oh you've seen us build computers 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.039 costing anywhere from $69 all the way into the hundreds of thousand but just 00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:19.359 because you appear on screen with some of the hottest Hardware on the planet 00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:24.279 doesn't mean that's what you go home to so what does our team run at home solid 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.279 gaming rigs homebuilt servers AI Dev mules the hell is an AI Dev mule how 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.840 about all of the above but before we get to that I hope you enjoyed this cobbled 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:38.879 together to our sponsor is your boss L for paychecks again our sponsor o won't 00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:43.200 let this tragedy happen they offer a wide range of business apps the HR app 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:49.160 helps keep payroll vacation time and recruitment on track fine now your boss 00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:53.640 won't have excuses hey I'm Dan I am the technical architect for lonus Media 00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:58.559 Group today I brought you my AI development mule called brain Cube or 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:04.360 more affectionately known as the C box you can see it uses the a K Mystic white 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:10.159 opaque coolant I've been wanting to make that joke for about 10 years now and uh 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:14.080 yeah I'm I'm a child hello I'm Nicole and I am the talent and culture 00:01:11.479 --> 00:01:17.479 coordinator today I brought to you a PC that I bought of someone on Facebook 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.240 Marketplace my name is Colton Potter I'm the head of Business Development I do 00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:26.200 business development what is that it's a good question I brought to you guys the 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:30.439 most powerful 20123 handheld PC that my 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:31.759 money could buy the Asus Rog Ally 23 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:35.960 Edition as you can see I've got the dbrand kill switch case on it which I 00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:42.000 got only a couple months ago my name is Emily S I am one of our post- production 00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:49.799 supervisors former video editor and this is my PC I built it about 4 years ago I 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.399 think Co PC before I started at LMG I 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.159 built it not knowing how to build computers but it's been upgraded ever 00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:01.079 since the only original stuff in it I think is the boot SSD and the hard drive 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:04.840 I'm Nicholas I work in the Labs I look after mark bench and most of the 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:10.759 automation that takes place with our testing I brought today my main daily 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.280 driver gaming rig I'm Natalie and I'm part of the creative Warehouse team I'm 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:18.720 the inventory coordinator so anything you see on LTT Store.com I'm somewhat 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:23.000 involved the kind of PC I brought today is my Corsair gaming PC that I run daily 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:29.319 at home there's a lot of Corsair stuff in it I'm Adam I'm a writer for Linus 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.560 Tech tips I brought in my Home Server uh 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:38.319 I've named it affectionately old man because that is what it is it's a big 00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:40.440 box that I use to store backups Linux 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:45.760 isos and tons and tons of Il legally acquired media it is actually like a 00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:50.400 server um it's a Lenovo think server and it has a Server Motherboard as well as a 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:56.120 Zeon CPU in it but that doesn't just mean it's good so today what I brought 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.519 in was my Nest box or Nas machine 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:03.239 running uh true Nest my Nas or network attached storage is where I stole all of 00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:08.720 my data stole oh sorry what I say stole my name 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:14.280 is Justin and I am the fabricator here at LTT so today the PC I have brought in 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:16.440 for you is my gaming slcad rig that I 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:21.040 use at home primary gaming machine and then when I need to do all my design 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:25.000 work whether it is for stuff here or for the crazy crap I'm building at home this 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:30.360 is the machine I use for it have we turned it on and see it drip 00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:36.599 gurgles woo oo pretty 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.159 colors there we go oo look at all that 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:43.879 RGB that I actually really hate these are not the colors I run at 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.879 home just so you 00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:51.920 know okay cool it actually turned on for a oh so I've been building this over I 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:56.920 don't know the last 6 months or something like that it's gone through a few different iterations it started off 00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:01.480 with a pair of 2080 TI and has now moved up to the triple 390 configuration you 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:05.920 see here I decided to buy it off someone because I didn't want to go through the 00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:10.599 hassle of researching buying every single PC part by myself and at the time 00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:14.079 I was in university I was pretty busy and so I paid someone on Facebook 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:20.759 Marketplace to do it for me this I built last year Midsummer this one I built two 00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:25.440 two and a half years ago it's funny I bought this thing the day that our video 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.240 review came out on it I think it was the first day that was available in stores 00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:33.120 and on that day before this I had a steam deck and I sold my steam deck on 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.199 Facebook Marketplace and the guy who came to buy it was like Hey you work for 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:40.240 LT I just saw you guys' video on the r Alli and I was like yeah that's what I'm 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:46.240 selling this to you for so I can go buy it it was pretty sick it was last year at the Christmas party and I had won a 00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:49.960 PC case so there's only two options when you win a PC case either you get rid of 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.840 the case or you build a computer in it I helped build this PC um back in 2020 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:57.479 before that I was just running off a laptop it's also probably the longest 00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.199 computer I've ever owned I have not opened this in 2 years and it's it's 00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:05.000 great this system is primarily developed as an 00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.880 AI mule so learning how AI development Works learning how infrance Works 00:05:07.479 --> 00:05:13.840 learning how training works all that sort of stuff running models at home and 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:19.000 also kind of acting as an internet server so you know not everybody has 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:23.560 access to play with AI so I wanted to be able to set this up in VMS and separate 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:28.199 out gpus so friends of mine or other people could actually have a GPU and 00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:31.720 have a dedicated space to to play with it instead of having to pay for tokens 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.840 that sort of thing I decided to upgrade because I was lagging a lot on my 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.880 valerant games and I decided I've had enough I mainly use this for gaming at 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:43.520 home uh I've done a little bit of freelance on the side which is slowly 00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:48.120 picking up a little bit more so it's used for editing um light editing 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:52.440 nothing crazy like what we do yeah but mostly gaming on the side I wanted a 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:56.600 handheld specifically this handheld for two reasons the first being that I'm a 00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:00.800 parent so I don't get as much time to be able to game at my computer at my like 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.280 desktop PC as I use used to and then the second thing is I like this because it 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.319 has Windows I know you can configure the steam deck to have Windows on it but I 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:12.319 looked up a couple videos and I was just not down for that so that's why I got 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:16.680 this I was trying to just build the the best gaming uh experience I'm more of a 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:21.319 Gearhead and I just I I have this addiction of chasing the FPS even though 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:27.039 I play games like Heroes of the Storm but I need 400 frames because I know I 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.400 can have 400 frames my main goals when I picked up this server was that I wanted 00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:36.360 something cheap but also that would have a lot of room for expansion this is a 8 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.639 Bay Storage uh server and it is filled 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:45.120 with almost all of the hard drives there was a hard drive in here and when I moved it it fell out uh this morning um 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:47.400 luckily I have unraid which means I have 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.560 a parody and also like I was have a spare backup anyways so some of the 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:55.319 projects I'm working on at home right now that I'm using this machine for is 00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.120 both me and my father were heavily into doing RC cars and things like that my 00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:05.240 dad's more so into the RC semi Sid of things so trucks that are a little bit 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.199 more scale looking so right now we're working on making a bunch of scale 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:13.319 accessories for the cars are for the trucks and we just finished a project 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:17.160 recently where we built a 14 scale lowboy trailer for one of his trucks 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.039 it's all 3D printed and I had to design everything in CAD for that I didn't 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.720 really have a budget when I built this originally it was just sort of cobbled 00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:28.520 together from Parts either got from the company or other ones I had lying around 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:32.000 yeah it's got 3 390s in it but I bought the two that are water blocked here kind 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:36.520 of secondhand I believe they're crypto mining abused cards so I don't feel too 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.840 bad about it um the air cooled one here which I still haven't got a water block 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:45.000 for is actually my personal one that I used to have I've since upgraded to a 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:49.720 490 in my main rig so it gets a hand me- down GPU I remember 100% how much I paid 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.840 for it it is the biggest purchase I've made at the time I was really proud of 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:58.800 it it is $33,000 all-inclusive I had a budget around I think under 2,000 for 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:05.599 just the PC parts itself not including the peripherals so I think in total I 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:07.240 spent about 1,500 Canadian I got this 00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:12.199 for like $150 not including the drives the that's 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:16.800 really where the the price the drives are much more expensive I have like some 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:22.919 regrets about this thing one is that since it's a literal server I have a 00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:25.919 redundant power supply but it's it's a 00:08:22.919 --> 00:08:28.960 server power supply there's no cheap ATX 00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:31.479 power supply that is in this form factor 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:35.159 I would build it myself next time cuz then that would be like smaller upgrades 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.200 so like I know now for example the memory is pretty small later on I would 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:43.599 encounter probably a problem that I don't have enough memory so I can 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:48.519 probably do that myself my dream is that I just have a single cluster of compute 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.200 or computer in the corner and then everything in my house is just a thin 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.440 client so if I did anything I'd rather build just one big machine some of the 00:08:54.680 --> 00:09:00.320 server rack stuff I'm not I don't have the room for at home but that would be 00:08:58.079 --> 00:09:05.160 ideal one thing that's super freaking annoying about this server is that 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:09.440 Lenovo includes all of these little hard drive trays right you're like oh sweet 00:09:06.760 --> 00:09:13.440 thank you they're not a hard drive tray they're just filler it doesn't do 00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:18.640 anything it just takes space you have to buy other hard drive containers I had to 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:24.399 buy third party ones cuz they're $40 each I got these on eBay for like $20 a 00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:27.959 pop um not the drive the hard drive I got for much more money that's a 20 00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:32.160 terab drive there but I still have to pay so much for the caddies and I can't 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.519 get it back in and I'm mad I don't regret it but I would get something a 00:09:33.959 --> 00:09:40.440 little bit more modern and a little bit less servery I've had a few issues since 00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:44.560 I bought this thing in July of 2023 this thing's cooling system started making 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:47.680 these God awful noises to the point that I couldn't play any games my wife 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:53.720 wouldn't even sit next to me cuz she thought the thing was going to like blow up I just factory reset the thing and 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:57.640 then it went away it warms up my entire room I've turned off the heating in my 00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:01.720 room for the past 2 years I'm hoping it saves me money but I don't know I've 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:05.240 recently lost the ability to put it to sleep the sleep button just disappeared 00:10:03.839 --> 00:10:09.519 in Windows and I don't know how to get it back I looked it up for like a few 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.240 days um and my boyfriend and I were trying to figure it out and we couldn't 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:18.920 so it only I just lock it and let it kind of turn off on its own The Quirk 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:21.760 about this one is that this fan and 00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:27.200 cooler combo I tried to fit into a Loki raw S1 like garbage can style cooler but 00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:30.399 I had to like try and file down the sides cuz it was basically smush up 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:35.880 against against it like a child on a candy window so instead I just zip tied 00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:37.720 it to this one and slapped it in here 00:10:35.880 --> 00:10:42.959 sometimes the power button if I turn it on in a certain way it gets stuck so you 00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:46.720 power it on and it just stays held so it just shuts itself off that's cool this 00:10:44.839 --> 00:10:50.720 GPU has a fun little Quirk oh it's not really a quirk it's a safety feature 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:55.639 around where the fittings go in here there is these little like brass copper 00:10:53.040 --> 00:11:01.680 rings that if any little bit of liquid gets on there it'll throw the GPU into a 00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:06.000 uh liquid detection mode so that way it doesn't fry your GPU or anything however 00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:10.760 the problem is the fitting I used on this side here it's a little bit too big 00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:16.360 so it's actually coming into contact with the ring on occasion so if I just 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.600 bump my computer too hard it will cause 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:22.160 it to freak out it'll shut the whole entire computer down and yeah it's a 00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:27.000 it's a fun time that's the SATA cable for the DVD drive I haven't even opened 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:31.240 it I don't know there could be a DVD in it what's in the 00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:40.399 drive and maybe it's broken it's busted 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:42.680 so as much as I love this case the GPU 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:48.480 is mounted so that you have to plug in underneath and in um the uh video where 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.920 lonus roasts all of our setups you can see this propped up on the two CPU boxes 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:56.839 in the corner of my desk so it gives it enough clearance let's get this uh DVD 00:11:55.240 --> 00:12:01.519 out of here with our look at that that's our bit and our Precision screen 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:08.000 screwdriver with storage from LTT Store.com all right that was the Moment 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:10.120 of Truth damn empty so I've got a couple 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:17.800 other computers at home I've got my main rig which is now, 1400k with a 490 I 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.120 have one that my cat sleeps on which is 00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:24.120 a Threadripper system that was a waste of money I'll tell you that and then 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:28.079 I've also got a little jbow Nas I built basically the exact same one that we did 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.079 in a previous video awesome little Nas I think it's got about 50 t bites or 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.480 something on that so I've also got a 24 Bay Storage server too that's just kind 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:38.240 of sitting in the middle of my living room right now it's still very loud even 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:41.720 though I changed all of the fans and the power supplies over to noctua so I think 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:45.360 that's probably about it most of them are just sitting on the floor I just got 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:49.120 a Nas I just put together a Nas for like home photos and stuff which is great I'm 00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:52.720 using the U green one I'm slowly transitioning to Mac cuz I get older I 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:58.440 just like it to work and it's working okay no we have a 00:12:56.760 --> 00:13:02.320 few more computers at home so obviously my fiance has his own Tower and then we 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.519 also recently he recently just built another one for the TV downstairs in the 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:10.839 living room so we can like easily um cast like Chrome YouTube Anything games 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:14.720 if we wanted to as for the other computers that I own you can watch my 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:19.079 AMD upgrade uh cuz that's where I got that though now it has been moved into a 00:13:16.839 --> 00:13:22.320 beautiful fractal Tera enclosure it's a great system so I guess next up for this 00:13:20.839 --> 00:13:28.199 system is probably going to be a water blocked a100 I've still got to be able 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:30.399 to put in the two 2080 TI I'm think I'm 00:13:28.199 --> 00:13:36.600 running out of PCI slots this board has seven this is the sage I think 621 W 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:40.160 something like that it's already got a 1500 wat power supply so I need to do 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:43.560 some more custom cabling and things like that but again it's supposed to have 00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:46.959 cards pulled in and out of it which is why it's got all the EK quick 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.639 disconnects on basically every single fitting on this uh rig do you have any 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:57.160 upgrades planned for any of your computers right now uh no I'm broke so 00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:00.880 if I were to upgrade my PC in the future um I don't think I'm going to stick on 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:04.759 am4 um I think we're kind of at the last legs of where am4 is going to be good so 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.279 we probably got another good three four years out of it I love this case this is 00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:13.920 one of my favorite cases but I could go for something a little bit newer the new 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:18.959 uh lean Le without the bezel would be really cool or you know the board Cube 00:14:15.959 --> 00:14:20.600 PC case that David has is kind of what I 00:14:18.959 --> 00:14:23.959 wanted and then he took it I'm aware that the Lix came out early this year I 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.519 didn't want to upgrade because it didn't have a more powerful processor I know 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.839 there was a few different kind of power things they unlocked with the bigger 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:36.519 battery and stuff like that but if I can find a handheld within the sameish price 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:40.759 point that can run games at a high FPS or just better I will absolutely upgrade 00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:45.240 I'm just waiting for that thing that has the biggest leap to justify me spending 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:49.839 my money to kind of buy it if a makes sense Dennis what are you doing what is 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:55.120 this lonus are you renting out Linus's Porsche I run a secret business with a 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.199 sponsor o do this is my office don't use that's why this bathroom has been 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:04.600 occupied I used old dudes to have this

00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:22.160 let's be honest cuz ODU saved me so much time but that's is beside the point ODU 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.279 has over 50 apps to help me run the business I'm just using the ruman app to 00:15:24.199 --> 00:15:29.399 create a job post do you want to apply I'll pay you more let's not talk about 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:33.279 it right now they have a Time app app so he can track your employees attendance 00:15:31.079 --> 00:15:37.240 so they actually work not doing what I'm doing you're lucky that lonus hasn't 00:15:34.839 --> 00:15:40.279 found out about this lonus thanks for watching if you enjoyed this why not 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:43.560 take a trip down memory lane and look at the previous time we did this it was 00:15:42.199 --> 00:15:47.880 quite a while ago and things have changed quite a bit ploof still has way 00:15:46.199 --> 00:15:51.839 too expensive of a computer though he's just that man can't be helped
