ladies and gentlemen it's finally happening it's powder
coated it's ready and we are going to be building the most insane gaming slash
workstation slash what can't it do machine on the planet 64 cores
256 gigs of RAM two
ah RTX 3090s and to cap it all off the
cherry on top three Samsung mega super
ultra wide monitors but who could the
client be by the end of this video you'll know
and you'll also know who our sponsor is glasswire allows you to instantly see
your current and past network activity block badly behaving apps on your PC or
Android device and detect malware use offer code Linus and get 25 off
glassware at the link in the video description
almost a year ago now our client for this project who is a real [ __ ] by
the way reached out and asked us to build them a computer
but not just any computer you gotta understand this client okay really
appreciates like rich people stuff you know we're talking owns an actual
Lamborghini as opposed to my Lambo so
they weren't gonna settle for some plebeian off-the-shelf computer case no
they wanted a pyramid and not just any pyramid
an Illuminati themed pyramid so Alex with some help from the rest of
the team here set to work building an
absolutely One of a Kind bespoke Illuminati themed pyramid case which I
think has Against All Odds no offense
turned out kind of freaking amazing if
you're into that kind of thing we're gonna have a playlist popping up here with the journey so you can see the case
and it's less finished and hopeful state for now though this is freaking awesome
Dave's powder coating considering that it's actually just Dave and some powder
coating stuff in Sea cans in his backyard did a bang-up job of the paint
job here I mean 400 Canadian dollars but
uh yeah I'm into it by the way all the
prices today are going to be Canadian we're Canadian clients Canadian and we
don't have to do any conversions truthfully the cost of the paint job seems downright reasonable when you look
at how much the cooling fans cost we've got four nff 12 Industrials in the front
and then four NFA 12x15s in the back and
this is absolutely necessary because with the kind of Hardware we're going to
have in here we're gonna need a freaking ton of airflow though that's not to say
that we're going to need all 2 000 RPMs of these things they can get pretty loud
so we're going to be using these one to four pwm Splitters from EK water blocks
in order to yeah you know bring them down just a little bit into reasonable
territory and do some tuning total cost for this solution
321.12 cents
shiny we got an ASUS Rog znf2 Alpha AMD
ryzen threadripper 3990x that was five grand right there and then for storage
since it actually wasn't important to the client and had no bling Factor
anyway since it's going to be under a heat spreader we just checked uh Samsung
970 Evo I think it is two terabyte in there everything's going to be on a
server over 10 gig networking and of course this motherboard is as ball in as
it gets so it's got 10 gig on board now let's put it in and ah
very funny you guys
gotta get that gotta get that street chilling in there
lttstore.com now that is what a
six-figure laser gets you we can engrave on metal now it's good the client will
never know that that's there before you ask we did also point out to the client
that the CPU isn't exactly visible either so spending five grand on a
threadripper 3990x for their workload uh
was not necessary in any way shape or form but um
they insisted and you know what they say the customer is always right and when
they're not you just tell them they're right anyway because like it's their
money who gives a [ __ ] is this supposed to line up uh no oh I see wait did we
move the motherboard up a little bit after having put in the cutout how big's
the Gap I mean we can move it a tiny bit but it's not small oh that's way too big
yeah let's just move her down a bit okay this is the Tesla Nadi computer
wait you have got to be kidding me
okay not quite lined up but Alex informs
me that this much of a gap is necessary in order for us to fit the cooler and
power supply oh man these poor holes on
the motherboard have a lot of strain on them it's stronger because it's stressed
no it's like rebar and buildings no it's not Alex had you given any thought to
how to put the screws in under the GPU risers I didn't last time okay that's
fine I think I can start them by hand and finish them with the screwdriver is
that a bit of an angle here hey what's next so for the fans is the
plan just Jam the cables under the motherboard tray and yep
all right then
I'm into it oh it won't actually go under like that you don't think so no oh
it's there does it not go through no
trying to raise it naturally we can't install our graphics cards in the PCI
Express slots like some kind of you know slobs so these are PCI Express 16x
risers from kamino that we're going to be using to put our two gpus here and
here actually here and here if I recall correctly yeah and this is why most
people only move one of their PCI Express cards or at most two because
that is a lot of cabling uh uh the good
news is I can still get at the RAM slots let's put some RAM in weighing in at
1905 and 12 cents is our
256 gig kit of 3200 megahertz CL 16
ddr4 now 3200 megahertz cl-16 that
doesn't sound that impressive until you consider that each of these is 32 gigs
on a single stick 32
64. whatever this is
128 but this is a double decker RAM
sandwich or as I call it a RAM witch
for cooling there are a number of routes we could have gone we could have gone
water cooling I mean you got 64 cores in here but quite frankly the client aside
from being an ass uh I wouldn't trust to
maintain water cooling on their own so air cooling was the way we were going to
go this is the Noctua nhu14 thread
Ripper Edition and we're just gonna pop that puppy on there call it call it good
not too shabby right now meet the
da1650 this is quite literally the only
power supply on the market that is able to both deliver the power we need 1 650
Watts at 80 plus gold efficiency while also not being too long to fit in the
pyramid chassis see here's the thing if you weren't following the entire Saga
the client changed the spec on us
multiple times so when the RTX 3090 was
released all of a sudden the client's like oh I need the 3090 so you guys are
going to have to find a power supply that'll power for them so we came back and said look you're not getting four
and also even two is a flipping stretch
here and let's put this how the hell is this supposed to fit in here okay so all
the cables you need to run them behind this and through first
all of them all of them you'll also probably want to plug in like the
motherboard stuff now uh-huh I see I see it's gotten
banged up a fair bit Yeah well you don't need to say that well no that's I mean I
see that I'm not gonna lie to the people okay clearly this has been abused on the
way in and out of this case a couple times that's just a fitment uh-huh
this is one tight area sir
in there I mean who needs all the fins on the heatsink to be straight anyway I
feel like I'm at Science World doing those puzzles where you have to like put
the seemingly impossible thing into the other thing oh golly that's a really bad
way to do it look if you let the bull loose in the china shop don't be
surprised the problem coming hold on a
second there's a power switch oh no the power switch will clear we're up to your
so-called deal breaker look at that how switches work Sucka you see that oh yeah
we're stuck on the PCI Express Riser there no problem ha ha
well I probably only marked it up a little bit more there you go smart guy
wow ah I see what you mean about the clearance
between the cooler and the power supply there is literally none it's a good
thing that I didn't give this one more whack with the hammer because we
wouldn't have been putting this together today yep there's a reason that gaps
there okay still got to do the GPU cables
and the fan cables it'll be
hidden Oh Lordy I actually haven't seen it with
lighting yet I'm excited like I don't know can I just cram this here will that
be yeah that works that works yep okay get a cabletie lttstore.com yeah you've
actually got it like a boat to where I was kind of planning on leaving it all
right okay so just the gpus now then Yep
this might just work Alex of course it
will okay what's next
now there's a little trick we had some
real fly instability problems with this
the first time it was test assembled as a final product what we realized is that
when we originally tried out these risers it was on a gen 3 motherboard
with Gen 3 gpus well this is PCI Express
Gen 4 stuff massive problems until we manually
change the motherboard over to gen 3 mode which does cost us technically a
little bit of bandwidth but quite frankly these are already so overkill
for the client anyway that um it really really doesn't matter
uh now you might have noticed that the graphics card actually did not fit in
the first slot I tried to insert it in that is for good reason this one right
here unit number two had to be modified a little bit
roll the tape I have a bit of a problem and you guys
are not going to be very happy about the solution this one's just you know
against that this one's all the way out here what the heck turns out
geez that's because this little finger right here needs to go away
problem solved wow genius I'm gonna file
that slightly we have tested it since then it does still work I almost hope
the client likes it if there hadn't been such a royal pain
in the butt the whole time oh yeah now's probably a good time to mention that we
have no clue how much these gpus cost we
just know that the client said we would get them and they arrived while they
were not in stock anywhere oh really uh okay sensible people know that SLI is
pretty much dead but you guys I'm sure noticed that this is in fact two
graphics cards so we're gonna throw this Envy link
bridge on here and hope that the
intention is for the client to use it as a network render Target or something and
not actually for games because like it's
beyond unnecessary what was your plan for these I don't know it always looks
bad it always tries several different ways
going below might look a tiny bit better but like it's it's all bad are we ready
to test this thing yeah pretty much so there's one unfortunate thing so I did
buy like pass-through cables for the display ports that go from here to a
little panel That was supposed to go back here yeah I see that uh the
pass-through things were not reliable at all so the client's just gonna have to
go like play horse veterinarian and like yes all right cool whatever you know
what screw that okay you ask for a pyramid you get a pyramid so it comes
with some inconveniences I mean you don't think the pyramids were inconvenient for the Egyptians they're
all in the way and everything ready yep
oh the fans are rubbing oh that sucks I
think they might not be filtered then I think they're pulling the filters up
into themselves yeah that's actually not
very hard to fix but it does take time uh is it even
posting just give it a sec hey hey
all 256 gigs of RAM detected 3990x6 core
F1 run setup oh
this is good this is the biggest hurdle we need to pass in order for
us to have lunch yeah go for lunch and
that's it we're at the desktop I love the money wallpaper by the way
yeah a bunch of Robert bordens I don't even know like the names of most of the
people on our money all right why don't we run a quick stress test and it can
sit and run that while we're at lunch and we'll come back yeah cyberpunk 2077
stress test it seems appropriate right game ran perfectly stability issues are
gone also Alex took some time to move
all the filters to the outside so all the fans are spinning all that's left
now then is to put the panels on and find out if The Thermals are did you
test The Thermals oh we need to do RGB first RGB oh RGB right the most
important part ah so in all those
brackets that I alluded to earlier in the video
this is what we're putting in them no we
don't want no wimpy you know little RGB
strips little flexible you know garbage
like that these are called Helios tubes do you
know what Helios means Helios was the god of the sun and they
are uh appropriately named
elanas do you want to know how much we spend on RGB for this
2212 dollars twenty two hundred dollars
not my problem and every cinematographer would cry because they're going into a
PC this is ridiculous
some fun speeds and feeds for these they have eight RGB pixels they are fully
programmable you can set up animations and stuff like that and you can actually
control them over DMX from up to 300 meters away uh that's 900 feet for my
American friends this is so stupid like
we could use these we could but we won't deal with it I was gonna say I hope you
guys won't be disappointed by the Freemason themed side panels but
I don't have to guess at that you guys know you love it
how perfect is that for the Illuminati themed PC now our original plan was
actually to have dbrand do some special side panel skins for us for the client
that we're kind of like Illuminati themed but when they found out that
there were 5300 eighth inch holes all over these
panels they uh wimped out on us all
PlayStation 5 style and said they couldn't do it so I guess we're just
stuck with the um yeah I guess we're just stuck with
the powder coating it's still pretty cool oh my God that is amazing these
line up like perfectly well of course they do we see and see
machine did well yeah no but I'm impressed one panel down that looks
absolutely sick I want to show you guys what we're doing for the rear panel this
right here is a hinged panel for the back to allow easy access to the i o and
also uh pass through and look at that
one button for overclocking okay then
uh how hard is it watching me manhandle your baby right now that's fine
oh I love that it's a giant red button
oh my God this thing is ridiculous all
right front panel time this is the
centerpiece this was honestly the first thing that was designed about this
machine and this is now my first time
being eyes on with it so never show them the back never show them
the back never show them the back I see
that is sweet what's so bad about the back
well okay then and what the hell is this
it's the power button oh man I love that the first thing you see
through the front window is NVIDIA's
ugly stupid 12 pin connector dang it
NVIDIA this chapter of Our Lives is finally
coming to a close yep now that all the panels are on I'm ready to show you the
big surprise those RGB tubes are something else normally RGB software
like for your PC is garbage and it can even make your PC slower but this RGB
software runs on an iPad so you can do
basically anything you want with these things and control it from freaking
anywhere is that fire or is that fire all right now we got ice fire
oh it's sick come on sick and we've got
of course we've got ours that we use for filming in the background synchronized
which I mean nothing would prevent the client from doing here's the dance party
yeah I mean there's no reason to put
lights like this in your computer though unless you're like
are gonna have someone professionally film your computer which naturally we're
gonna do right now
all right
thank you
foreign
that awesome I mean this thing is a
monument to access what could be crazier than this computer
the monitor setup to contain it
we're going to need more table okay do you think we have enough space
for the monitors I don't know not one not two but three
49 inch Samsung
Odyssey monitors that is hanging off the table pretty
hardcore there there we go yeah sure
oh boy oh my God this is like this is not even
usable why did they ask for this
great question it is literally wider than my field of view I cannot even see
the edges of these monitors like gaming or productivity like no matter what it
is this is this is actually going to be a terrible
experience it seems like the client's never seen one of these monitors in
person and he owns one you specifically asked for this because
he owns one and he likes it the client has one already yes and it's like yeah I
think I need three of them yes
what a [ __ ] okay are they all fired up
nope as you said horse doctor it oh you're
there you got it
yes okay all right all right all right geez
I cannot even find the cursor right now where the hell is the cursor the irony
is that you can't even see the computer
15 360. okay
by 1440. this is like 15 K's wide
now I know how people feel watching our
videos sometimes where it's like no it's just it's like dumb it's unnecessary
this okay I'm sorry I'm sorry
because you're right what are we playing do maternal fine
get fov of 140 degrees that's what we're
gonna need I doubt the slider goes that far 32 by 3 native
okay 32 by three what
this is a 10 to 1 aspect ratio
that just why didn't the client just get
three LGC tens the 48 inchers great
question it is a great I suggested that well I know obviously you did because
you have an ounce of cents Alex 120 that's the Max and that would look
like a fisheye like nonsense lens under
normal circumstances that might actually
until not even close to wide enough okay so let's crank it shall we yep I'm
sitting here going is it loaded yet well the UI is over here
and over here literally have to hike to
go see the UI so oh wow
this is horrible this is the worst oh it's making me sick
this is totally unplayable I hate this okay so we're getting what
like 100 FPS actually yes should we test out the overclock button uh yeah sure
you know what Brandon you're right I'm feeling a little bit
nauseated too if you hadn't said anything I would have thought I was just
imagining I never get motion sick in games oh God stop playing okay okay
let's try the overclock all right yeah
you press the overclock button yeah it's just connects to the reset switch
are we gonna tell the client that before we send it we don't have to I guess we
don't have to it does get you to the overlock menu though if you like hit the
BIOS thanks for coming along on this adventure with us uh massive shout out
to Alex our Shooters Brandon is holding
an extremely heavy rig right now this has been a very very long shoot and of
course there were the other ones as well uh this has been one heck of a project
thanks for your patience If You're Gonna Want to find out who the client is
um we have to tell them Linus we have to tell them you have to tell them all
right a lot of you guessed it the client is
dbrand get the best prices of a great selection
