I'm so sorry I'm late. I was late for my flight. I missed last call for dinner at
the airport. Then I took an Uber to the wrong hotel and
that was when I realized I really shouldn't be complaining about my string
of bad luck.
Realistically, that all happened kind of a while ago. So, our good friend Kyle
from Bitwit is all moved into his temporary abode now, complete with
turtle. But I noticed there are a couple of things that are still missing. A
touch of style and a networkattached storage device for video editing,
storing and streaming Linux ISOs, and backing up precious memories.
I can only do one of them today.
I choose the NAS. >> Oh, thank God. We both know I wasn't
going to be able to bring the style.
I mean, I think these are tasteful. Definitely. What I did bring is our
sponsor, Intel, who provided the Xeon E CPU for Kyle's new NAS. Zeon E is
designed for robust and reliable performance for workstations and servers
of all shapes and sizes. Trolling aside,
I actually love what you've done with the place and on such a low budget. Like
this tapestry above the bed.
That was a Teu sponsored video. So
>> yeah, you didn't have to keep it. >> Wait, Teu sponsored the video.
>> They sponsored the video. I need money. All my burned down,
>> right? That's why you're here. >> That makes sense.
>> Not to make fun of me. >> Would you like >> You're so mean. >> Would you like me to get to work now?
Get the out.
In all seriousness, there really is shockingly little to do on the
entertainment and even workstation side of things. I guess that's what happens
when we take a year to come down here and do this. Why don't we build a new
shelf? Because I think this could be a little less industrial. >> I agree.
>> And then the NAS is a key component of a
321 backup solution. Did you lose data
in the fire? >> I did lose some data. Yeah, I had a lot of it backed up in the cloud, but there
were a couple items that uh I was unable to manually back up in time and that was
kind of a bummer. Just like family photos, photos of, you know, me and the
girlfriend, the cats, um just, you know, stuff that's irreplaceable,
>> right? >> Yeah. >> I mean, you can take new photos of the
cats at least. >> Definitely. >> They survived, which was like the first
thing he told me was like, >> "Yeah, >> we got the cats." I'm like, "Thank God."
>> Yeah. Do you need a knife? >> Oh, yeah, sure.
>> You're still opening boxes with this. Oh, you're just promoting. Of course.
>> No. >> Always thinking on >> Dude, you know I'm light. I don't have a
knife on me. >> So, this is your camera shelf, your PC
shelf, your printer shelf, your hard hat shelf. >> Yeah, basically everything I need for
work. >> So, for people who don't follow your channel, I just wanted to give them a
bit of an update. Like, so is the insurance paying for your place to be
rebuilt? Like, >> yeah, fortunately, I have good insurance. It's funny because there was
a big fire in my neighborhood years ago. >> Why is that funny to you? It's funny
when it's someone else. >> It's No, it's it was funny because nobody else I don't think any other
house is burned. It was just the the brush, the the hillside,
>> right? So, nature just like nature, it can just burn. >> That's not what what I was getting at.
My fire insurance at the time dropped me because it was high risk. So, I picked
up State Farm and they oversold me this crazy package that I didn't need, or so
I thought. So, I got it and uh fortunately that has worked out. It's
paid dividends. I'm really glad that the guy thought he was ripping me off. A lot
of my neighbors didn't even have insurance. A lot of them had uh paid off
houses, didn't have insurance, or very minimal uh policies. So, um
>> you think I should be building them a >> You might want to hit them next. Yeah, I
got a few got a few numbers for you.
>> So, go into somebody who has somebody's house is burned down. Could I offer you
a nast in this trying time? >> Look, you say it like it's a crazy thing
to do. It's literally what we're doing today. >> We look like idiots line as we
>> This is really nice. This is like made of actual wood. >> I dig it.
>> Are you worried about it being flam? >> I hope so. >> Yeah. Let's hope it's just MDF.
something less the fire retardant glue in it. >> It's as best with wood veneer.
>> The two LT screwdrivers you guys sent me got lost.
>> Oh no. >> Suddenly Suddenly you're sad.
>> But we sad. We remade one. >> Well, something of value was lost.
>> Hey, look at that. >> Hey, we remade them. >> The channel colors. Hell yeah. Thank you
guys very much. That's nice. >> I'll definitely use this a lot. I've
been using a $5 Home Depot one and it sucks. So, what you're saying is you
would use our screwdriver if we gave it to you for free, but if left to your own
devices to buy one, you would buy a $5 Home Depot one.
>> It's not what I said. >> No, >> it's exactly It's what I did.
>> Yeah, your actions, they speak. >> They do. >> So loud, sir.
>> They speak so much louder than your words, >> Stephanie. We also got you a
>> nice Hell yeah. >> And it's in great. >> Oh, yeah. I've seen this. I've seen this
in that viral video. Nice.
>> I'll just keep going. It's like my inception totem. I hope this is a dream,
dude. I really hope I really hope you're not really here in my place.
>> How the hell did you find your cats? >> Fortunately, I did not have to deal with
any of it cuz I was in Vegas covering CES the time the houses went down. Um,
my girlfriend, uh, shout out to her, she was the one that actually went into my
house when it was like a complete blackout. Like there was no lights on in
the house, too. So, she had to like wrangle two cats in the dark with like
the the fire on my doorstep practically.
So, she just yeeted them into the car and um and and did it that way.
>> I think the first thing I would have said is, "Hun, thank God you got the
cats. Also, hun, never do that again." >> Yeah, 100%. You know,
>> hopefully you never have to. >> Yeah.
>> Did your power go out or did you just never set your stove? How do you know
what time it is in the kitchen? Oh, I don't I don't really
>> Wait, your Wait, your watch is blank, too. >> Yeah. Yeah. None of the times
>> Is this like a None of >> the times work? >> Is this a lifestyle choice? It has to
be. >> No, it's not. >> There's no way you get up in the morning
>> and you put on a watch with no batteries in it. >> It just broke. It just broke.
>> It just broke. It just broke in February. It just broke in February.
>> Adam, do you want to do this microwave while you're at it? I noticed that one was >> Sure. Yeah, I'll get the microwave.
>> Does he need it? It's right beside the stove. You know what? No, we're going to do it. It's what God would want.
>> Given God burned down Kyle's house, I don't think God wants anything good for
him. >> Maybe he wasn't doing enough stuff that God wanted.
>> Fair 100%. >> Uh, okay. It wants us to repeat this
step on the bottom panel. I don't Where's the bottom panel?
>> The bottom should have a little slot on it. Little groove.
>> Do you have my shaft? There we go. It's not a weird thing to ask another man. Do
you know what docking is? >> It sounds sexual.
>> Docking? Oh, that Yeah, I know. Docking. >> Hell yeah. Up top.
>> Let's go. >> I'm looking this up.
>> Oh god. >> What is docking? >> Oh no.
>> A very intimate and intense.
>> It's like the International Space Station. >> Yeah.
Wait, we brought these? Yeah, >> we haven't even released these yet. I' I
haven't even seen the final packaging for these yet. >> So, these are test cables. We're
currently validating them to make sure that they meet our specs and our standards.
>> 3 m, 240 watt power. This one's only USB
2. Uh, but it can do the full power spec for type-C. Um, so a lot of the time you
either have to buy the like fancy high data speed one in order to do the high
charging speeds. Um, >> or you get like a cheap crappy cable
that isn't going to be able to do high power. You know what's You know what's cool is
that they're they're thick, but they're flexible. They're very like you can
they're very bendy, which is nice, especially at the ends where where the connectors at.
>> They're thick because any high-speed conductors are coax uh insulated for
shielding, especially the USB3 ones are
girthy. >> Hey, >> uh but but we used like a silicone style
outer sheathing like you'd find on like hobbyist grade wire.
>> Yeah. >> Um >> feels really nice. just make them. Yeah, >> this has got to be some of the only USB
A to C cables that I've seen that actually support the 10 GB standard.
>> Uh, >> usually it's 5 GBs. >> Yeah. Well, so our whole sort of
identity for these products is of whatever length with whatever
connectors, we want to support the highest power and the highest speed
possible. So for a 3 m cable, you can't
do you know 20 GB or whatever this. So,
this is a USB 2 cable, but will support the highest power at that connector
type. Yeah. Yeah, these are these are brand brand brand new.
>> They're really nice.
>> Which one's F? >> See? Yeah, I was looking for it. It's not labeled. That one's not labeled
either. >> No, mine's labeled. Mine's G. Oh, no.
Kyle, this is so much worse than I thought. >> Cuz we have to undo every single shelf
>> cuz the dowels are in there. >> So, we have to undo at least one side.
>> Yeah. to get it off. >> At least just one side. >> Yeah. All right. We are not a good team.
>> No, cuz you keep yapping.
>> Why are you guys getting mad that you solved the problem? >> Well, no, we're not mad. We're just
>> Why did you You had the screws. You could be like, "Wow, we both helped."
>> I'm just grateful that I didn't hire him back in the day.
>> You told me that you regretted it. >> I actually did regret not not hiring
>> and I was like, "That might be the nicest thing." That actually that might be the only nice thing you've ever said.
I think that he is one of the best on camera personalities in the entire tech
space. No, >> I'm serious. And you're like comedic
timing is is so good that you don't even
really have to know anything about technology.
>> Is anyone even looking at the instructions? >> I was hoping that you guys were, but
>> yeah, we we Oh, right. We're supposed to be building a NAS right now. We went for
lunch and then we forgot what we were supposed to be doing. Well, we'll get to this later.
>> Okay. >> Let's check out the NAS. >> Sure. >> This is nice.
>> Yeah. Nice little mat from uh from Newegg. Actually, they sent it to me.
>> Where's ours, Lionus?
>> Wow, you arranged this so nicely, Adam. And I'm just going to start. Yeah, I'm
sorry. What CPU is this? >> Ah, I'm so glad you asked. It's the Xeon
E2488.
>> Hold your horses there, Speedraer. Okay. What you're holding there? There's a
Xeon 2488, a top-of-the-line workstation
processor from the one and only Intel.
That dare E2488 processor is based on
Intel's Raptor Lake architecture. So, you know it's fast. Across its eight
cores and 16 threads, this puppy can purr at frequencies of up to 5.6 GHz.
Hey, if you're worried about the heat, we'll slap on some SPF 15 because this
succulent Intel meal only pulls 95 watts. Hey, and being part of the Xeon
lineup, you know that this Dorito coin chip is as reliable as the blessed crown
beneath your sneakers. It's validated a 247 operation and can take advantage of
up to 128 GB of DDR5 at 4,800 mega
transfers per second. Man, I feel like a woman.
Okay. Well, that's all I came over to tell you. Oh, and if you're free next
week, we're having some folks over for dinner. We'd love to see you. Nope.
Nope. Okay. Well, I just wanted to ask you. Make sure you feel included. Okay.
Bye. Now, basically, it's an 11 900 K, but
validated for 24/7, and it goes on this
ASRock rack server motherboard. It's still the LG 1700 socket, but it's a
different chipset for these Zeon chips. So, it's more for like users who demand
ECC for mission critical applications and not as much for gaming. I mean,
technically nothing would prevent you from gaming on it, but you have a gaming PC and that's not what this is. You'll
also find a lot more serverentric features on boards like this. So, you've
got like Ocul on here, IPMI for remote management, power button on the back.
Ooh, >> not the kind of thing you'd typically
find on a gaming board. You know, it's funny because as reliable as this
hardware might be, it's not going to do anything about a fire.
>> True. >> Well, I'm not trying to be mean. Sorry. I just mean this is as good a time as if
any for us to talk about 321 backup. You should have at least three copies of any
critical data across two different mediums, and one of them should be
offsite in a separate location. Um, I
have personally been bitten by not following proper 321 protocols, as has
Kyle. Don't be a Lionus or a Kyle.
Be a Josh.
You, Josh. Be you,
but smarter. Do you remember any M.2
drives that you pulled off of that old shelf? >> Yes. >> Do you remember where they are?
>> No. >> Cool. Oh, yeah. >> But that's somewhere else.
>> Okay. >> A 4 terbte NVMe boot drive.
>> Uh, yeah. I didn't choose any of this, but uh I probably approved it at some
point. >> I mean, having a large capacity cache allows you to move large files to your
server really quickly or work off the server directly if you want. So, there's
a benefit. It is overkill. 4 TB is a big cache. I think you should just put this
in your gaming PC and call it a day. >> Okay, Kyle's just going to grab another
lower capacity SSD. We're going to throw that in the M.2. And
this is his new high-speed gaming drive. Thanks, Crucial. Yeah, thanks Crucial.
>> Man, you remember back in the NCX Newag days? Could you imagine building a
server with an ASRock motherboard back then? >> They're like the the Kia thinking it.
>> They're like the Kia of PC parts. Kia used to be rough and now Kia's kind of
crushing it. >> Adam, did we bring a cooler by any chance? >> Yeah, we did.
>> Oh, >> it's just not in the box. >> It's in this box.
>> Ooh, we got >> It's just It's just out.
>> Oh. Oh, this is nice. >> Nice. Not too hot and everything. Wow.
Look at that. >> I mean, don't waste. Why does it have to be a brand new cooler when we can give
you a secondhand cooler that's just, you know, already unboxed?
>> The new fan, though, and that's the part that actually would fail. >> Oh, there's no goop in here, Adam.
>> Can I give them used goop or you're going to get mad at me again? >> Ew. Why would you give somebody used
goop? Conveniently, we're shooting at a tech YouTuber's house. So, here's some
Trident Z5 Royals. We're going to put these in here for now. And then we're
going to ship you some ECC nonregistered
memory. >> That works. >> And then you'll have the benefits of ECC, which is like why we chose the Xeon
platform in the first place. Uh, but they will fit in the slot for now. Shiny
gamer memory. Thank you for providing
your own rescue
>> in the blingiest way possible. >> Yeah.
truly showing what a charity case you really are.
>> Wow, that is a that's a super cute 5060.
>> Those little fans. >> Look, it even manages to still have 3Ds
on it. >> Here we go. >> Uh-oh. >> Look at those fans.
>> Look at those tall standoffs, brother. >> That's a little concerning cuz we don't
have a lot of clearance here. >> Oh my god.
>> Moment of truth. >> Can you imagine? Can you imagine a world
where you're a enough friend to take a year to come and build someone a
computer that doesn't fit together? >> And this is what happens. Yeah.
>> No, it looks good. I think I think it's I think it'll work. >> Yeah, but where's the air going to go?
>> Okay. We didn't say it was going to be cool and work optimally, but does it
fit? >> Yes. >> Oh, yeah.
>> Why would you slam it down like that? >> That's satisfying. The thing that might
save us is that while the specs are very similar to the 11 900K, the power
profile is not. This is was it a 95 watt
chip? That may save our bacon today. >> Yeah, we need as power efficient as we
can get. >> Oh yeah, Adam, I hate to add to your
stress right now, but how many hard drives were you planning to put in here?
We got three. That's good because that is the most hard drives that will fit in
here. We can talk about the drives we're using. These are 12 TB Iron Wolf Pros.
These are specifically designed for NAS use. That is to say, they're designed to
be next to other vibrating hard drives that are seeking around all over the
place. And they even include data recovery services. That's in the event
of the drive failing, not like >> you know. >> You know, yeah, you know. Anyway, the
point is Kyle's planning to use Unrade, which gives him the flexibility to, you
know, scale up or scale down his storage as needed, which will give him a total
of 24 tab of NAS storage, which isn't a
ton, but let's face it, he doesn't upload that many videos.
>> Can't argue with that. >> Wow, that is not a lot of space. Hey,
uh, Adam. >> Yo, were there, you know, I don't know,
higherend cases we could have offered, Kyle? This was the best one that would
fit the desk dimensions. >> Ah, that makes sense. See, we haven't
really told you guys the stick for this build yet, and that's that this is the
stealthiest Naz. It's going to be completely hidden away, tucked under his
desk, so he never has to see it or look at it or or also cuz there's nowhere
else to put it. By the way, it wasn't intentional because, you know, this was
our backup power supply, but this is totally a used power supply. Is it now?
>> Oh, yeah. I can tell from the broken button on the back of it. >> Hey, as long as it uh you know,
>> I mean, it seems >> doesn't start a fire. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. Now he's doing it.
>> We have only Molex fans here. >> Yeah. >> But we don't have a Molex cable for this
power supply because it's secondhand. >> Secondhand S power supply that we're
giving our friend. Okay, let's just go to the store and buy some fans.
>> All right. >> Okay, here's the plan. Microenter is 35
to 40 minutes away. Okay, >> that shelf claims 90 minutes.
>> Okay, >> who will be done first? You with the shelf or me and Kyle with our 80 mm
fans? >> I'm going to bet on me. I'm betting on me. >> Really?
>> Yeah. >> After everything that's happened. >> I'm betting on me. I I'm Listen, I can
handle the shelf. >> In all seriousness, when there is an
error in one of our videos, we share the responsibility.
>> Right, Kyle? But when there are four errors. >> Right, Kyle? Righty.
>> Your fault, too. >> Yeah.
>> Oh. >> 3 2 1 go.
>> Power supplies, cooling, air cooling. Let's go. Case fans.
>> All right. So, we just need 80 ms,
which these are all 120s. >> Why is every fan
>> on Earth? Yeah. Yeah. >> Every fan is Lean Lee. >> What is up with that?
>> It's crazy how how many Lean Le's there are now compared to Corsair. It used to
be just Corsair. Lean Le is completely
dominated. >> We're at the half an hour mark. And you know what? I think I'm doing pretty
good. Hey, be quiet to the rescue. Are
these Are these $11, too? Man, do you
remember >> what's the difference? >> When like a fan was just like not that
expensive. I'm not going to lie. I am tempted to buy only two fans and you
will have mismatched fans in the front. >> Dude, by all means. Doesn't bother me.
>> This is This is $44 in fans. >> No, I agree.
>> This is 22. >> Yeah. >> And like, you know, >> they're not to us. They're knock us.
You're not going to >> twist my arm putting Noctuous in my PC.
>> Right. Yeah. Exactly right. Like, actually, I'm doing you a favor
>> totally >> by having mismatch. >> Everyone wins. Everyone wins. We're
coming in on 50 minutes and I've already kind of built the bottom.
Uh like I'm halfway done that. So I actually think I'm going to make pretty good time. Plus the return trip traffic
is at 55 minutes for them. So if it took them 30 minutes to get there, 10 minutes
in the store, I still got like half an hour easy.
Hey, we're back. Look at this. $22 US
worth of fans. Wait. Oh my god. Did we check what connector? Okay, they're four
pin. Dude, don't scare me like that.
>> Oh, wow. You kicked our ass. How long have you been done for?
>> Uh, like 10 30 minutes.
>> Nice. >> Do you want to know my Do you want to know my secret? I've read the
instructions. That's stupid. No one's
going to do that. >> So, you have enough room to like kind of recenter. This looks like
>> That looks real nice. >> This looks like a command position, dude. >> Dude. Yeah. This is
>> This looks like the kind of thing that you'd someone walks into the room and
you turn around doing this. >> Yeah. Mr. Burns mission control.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah, for sure. It looks good. Lionus, you said you were only going to bring me
a Nash. You brought me class, too, dude. Look at that.
Nice. Had a boy. >> And I helped Adam, too.
>> Oh, that's super cool. Who makes that? >> This is StarTech. >> Oh, I love it.
>> Start. If it's a random thing that you need, StarTech probably makes it,
>> right? Okay. So, that's just goes on the bottom of the case. Let the record show
that the parts that are really poorly cable managed, we're actually Kyle.
>> Hey, I get this part. >> Come on. >> Which is really poorly cable managed,
but I put one cable tie at the top so it kind of looks good. As long as she
closes, then I'm good.
Oh, yeah. Look at that. You've got it at the right setting and everything. You know, I'm used to working with all the
zoomers at work and they don't really know how to tools. No,
>> you don't just set it to the drill setting every time. No. Can you Can you
stand actually >> like kind of straddle me?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. I >> It's going to go like this, right?
>> And Yeah. Yeah. And then just And then just like Yeah. Yep. Okay.
>> Wait. You said straddle. >> I know. Yeah. Do what you got to do.
>> All right. All right. >> Trust me, I'm not
Before we go in, why not? >> We want to take the screws out of the We
want to take the screws out of the the the rack. >> No, no, you got to wait. Where are you
going? >> No, no, we're not trying to screw it in right now. I'm just doing a test fit.
Let's do a test fit. >> Get low. >> Get low. >> Little John in the east side, boys. Get
low. Okay, hold on. Hold it there. Do you have it? >> Yep. >> Okay, I need to
>> This like this should be the thumbnail. This is twister, dude.
>> Getting personal. >> Okay, hold on. One more notch. We got to
notch it. That's right. You're just one more notch
on my belt. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. Great. That's fine. We can all
dismount. >> Undock. >> All right.
>> Undock. >> Okay. What I wanted to know was the
height for these. >> I also wanted to know where mine and Kyle's personal boundaries are. Turns
out non-existent. >> We ready for the big moment? Final
installation of the NAS. >> Let's go. >> Let's do it. >> All right.
Yeah, this is actually not stupid.
>> Pretty solid. >> Thanks. >> It's day two and I realized we've
committed a cardinal sin, sir. >> What do we do? >> Well, I just What did you do?
>> Plugged in everything and I realized that we never actually tested this PC
before >> Oh, yeah. >> installing it and everything. >> You probably should have done that
before. >> Yeah. So, I bet it doesn't work. >> No, don't say that to me. I mean, I
didn't do the front panel connectors, so I did. Okay, dude. Did we just
completely lock out here? >> I think it Yeah, it looks good.
>> This is great. This looks so much
better. >> Yeah. No, it actually looks like a place, like a livable unit in here.
>> It looks like you care. >> It looks like I haven't given up
completely. >> Yeah, which is kind of a lie, but fooling everyone.
>> Yeah. And now we have Unrade installed
and we're just going to quickly get it set up for Kyle. The nice thing about
Unrade is that it accommodates like very wide types of hardware configurations.
While we do have all of our hard drives being the exact same model, that's
something that you actually don't have to worry about with Unrade. So, it allows you to expand and use the drives
that either you already have or that you can afford and grow your server as you
see fit. You know, we haven't done our stress test yet, but like
this thing's freaking quiet. >> It is. Yeah. Be quiet even.
>> As the name suggests, >> I kind of love the space. >> Yeah, it's dope.
>> You know what, Kyle? I think it's finally happened. >> What?
>> I think you've arrived at adulthood. >> Thanks, man. Thanks for helping me grow
up, dude. I uh you know, help comes from
the most unlikely places. >> Yeah. Wow. Really does. From a
narcissist, even. >> I appreciate it, dude. Thank you very
much. >> Oh, yeah. No, this was fun. If you guys enjoyed this video, why not enjoy the
time that Adam had to go do a not upgrade for someone by himself cuz I was
sick. >> You guys did a great job. >> It was awesome.
>> Dude, you guys did a great job. >> Really fun. >> The thing is even greatness, right? Even
greatness exists on a shittiness scale,
right? It's just maximum notiness.
I stopped listening to protect myself emotionally.
