let's copy the world's ugliest fan
do you want to go to the warehouse now and start doing water cooling and then we'll head out okay afterwards let's go
look for water cooling okay and then yeah we can come back
both teams were given permission to do their water cooling with stuff from the
Linus warehouse problem is luke and Linus didn't
actually get the message so the bs mods guys get the first crack at it
tech showdown is brought to you by synergy 2 in partnership with g-skill be
quiet and cable mod synergy 2 makes sharing your mouse and
keyboard between multiple computers so simple that anyone can use it learn more
at the link below we could do cream accents
with a brown base
we have to commit to something it's two o'clock
yeah okay let's do it then i don't think it's the greatest idea
i've ever had but like i think for us to win this we really needed like a super
killer idea and i don't necessarily think that we
have one so let's do it so let's get this banged out as fast as we can
do you want this kind of candy color or do you want
this kind of this kind of candy color okay here's here's a crazy idea i'm
sorry i'm changing gears on you again that's weird but if this is
gold brown we could reuse the gold caps
and do the base brown
but that would be that would match the theme that would match the color scheme
but not the overarching theme forget it i i said a dumb thing and we're all gonna
just forget it brandon wasn't recording that anyway this is a pretty ambitious project that
we've put in it in front of ourselves
everything's [ __ ] we're [ __ ] you know we're gonna lose right yeah let's
just try not to get humiliated yeah like i don't want to give them the
satisfaction okay i'm just going to cry i think because
that's probably fair
everything's [ __ ] let's just give up let's just take all the candy off the
shelves literally jam it into our tower
and build a computer
oh my god
that could have to be kind of cool i think we could make that work a dark spin to candyland the dark side of candy
and like the the like d on candy land is like
if we could illuminate the candyland sign i don't think that would even be
that hard um and have the d like kind of falling off
and not illuminated oh god okay that is a lot of work that's
like two hours of work yeah but the candyland sign would
probably be pretty important okay what color
green no because it doesn't look like grass
so we get fake grass from somewhere and then i'm not worried about the color too
much so we could just go with brown okay so i think what we're gonna do is
kind of divide and conquer rather than trying to tackle everything together we
have the general theme kind of figured out
luke kicked my ass with his diorama skills in the second
tech showdown something like that so luke is in charge
making this the
why don't you guys like talk a little bit or something you know
okay and then i am on transforming this
desktop surface and figuring out how the uh
scenery is going to work
so i'm going home depot he's going to michael's we're both going to look for
some inspiration and uh i'm like on a roll with this we'll be
vlogging it up while we're there this dress right now so i'm going to get this finished so i got to coat this
i gotta figure out some paint coatings for some other stuff
since i'm covering things i might as well figure out this horrible zit on my nose
now that i'm out of earshot i'm finding this place pretty oppressive
i just got to get out of here man working with luke the worst it's the
worst so we've stripped down the case where no
we're painting it painting it inside outside some accents colors
pulled the tray out everything plastic rubber is gone we're gonna be doing hard
line water cooling right um hopefully to
GPU and CPU we also might use these gigantic this is a 400 millimeter
reservoir these might be actually mounted onto the desk
and not inside the computer which will bring the hard line
across the computer and the desk and tie the whole thing together so we don't
have an actual plan really no
but we made it look like we did we have elements we
we just wanted them to sweat a little bit so we what we when we get a good mod
it usually revolves around a lot of elements so we're trying to just develop
each key element okay some of the things we know that we're going to use we're
going to have we got to have movement right
we know that we're going to do some big candy like giant well we hope as long as
we can find them we want some big giant yeah lollipop whatever things um we're
gonna of course light the underside of the desk we're gonna try to use the
sawhorse desk parts right um we're gonna
try to enclose those with acrylic and then we were probably gonna do something
with some sort of signage or a whole front skirt on the front of the desk and
do some sort of uh signage like call it
uh something something candy shop like win winning
winning team candy shop we just ran into
the pink lamb right here and so uh we know that our competition is in the
store so we're gonna let some air out of their tires to slow them down just a
little bit you know i just i thought this was gonna be like
you know a by the rules competition these guys
just keep camping it up in my aisle here
camping it up in my aisle we're trying to scope out the
competition oh the hide yourself
yeah as if you guys have anything worth hiding
okay that's the we are so [ __ ] just [ __ ]
off that's the underside
like it's fine okay so i have a little bit of this gold left
i don't think it's enough so i bought another one but we can return that if we
don't need it this was just in my car don't worry about it ignore that
so this is i believe the same gold but new
it's not the same at all so that's cool
these are these are rollers
so what i think i'm actually going to do is i'm going to go chocolate brown on
the edges and green turf on the top so the desk
actually has like a two-tone look and then do you want to do chocolate brown for the legs too
not necessarily i still think we should get the wrapping paper which it just
occurred to me we appear to already actually have
oh okay so i wonder if we can just borrow that
here's a white there's actually a bright red spray bomb in the workshop right now
okay check out my toy store haul as well okay one quick thing i got the fondue
machine they didn't really want me to vlog in the store so here's my vlog for
getting the fondue machine i also got a bunch of multiple chocolate for it uh oh
yeah so hazmat guys
um yeah i figured we could just like comically cross that out
and write something else i think i think this will be good i don't know
what is this that's like accessories and stuff you you have to buy them at like
see their heat sealed you have to buy them as like these sets this is just a
bunch of extra stuff so i have um i have like a pallet
that's cool and i have like a cage that goes around it
if we wanted to have like some finished candy in there
i have um i tried to get as much of this kind of this could be like wasteland
behind the computer because i don't know absolutely this could be yeah um and
then our hazmat guys could work on that i got the hazmat guys come with hatchets
for some reason so i got them to throw in some brooms
for them cool okay so hazmat guys have brooms now but they only came with
hatchets yeah i know right or like pickaxes or whatever you would
call that sure okay they're mining plutonium with pickaxes
yeah sure why not so right so this is the um
the like area behind it or whatever and
these guys are like working on it or whatever yeah cool i love that so we
should leave a sig like a fairly significant amount of space behind the computer if we can
okay um maybe the behind the computer isn't
even hidden on an angle behind it it's like beside it over here
and then candyland is over there cool that's good you sound worried i'm
[ __ ] worried i am like i could not possibly be more
worried right now we are we're gonna get our ass i think
them being allowed to do like super crazy multi-loop water cooling and us
not is like not really fair oh i don't think that matters i think that's a
complete waste of time super matters oh no way are you kidding me
stephen what yeah but remember like
he's going to go wow there's his water cooled yours is not you're [ __ ] plebs
absolutely we are not allowed yeah
doing it now is probably an issue yeah even then i don't think look i
think if we try to go head-to-head that's for the keyboard
if we try to go head-to-head those are stupid
um like hardline water-cooled build versus
hardline water cool build we're gonna get our asses kicked anyway
they're gonna do a better job of it right so we're better off executing
our style better than they would execute their style or
if not better than funner and i know founder's not a word but that
was sort of my point sure we're the funner team you know
it's like we don't really get it but we seem nice you know
one of our shirts don't fit yeah
we're going for the sympathy vote uh brandon where do you want this lens
synergy 2 is designed to be easier and more seamless to use than synergy one
features include sharing from anywhere with automatic control of any other
computer without reconfiguring ssl encryption to protect your keystrokes
from attackers dynamic networking so it
detects the best route based on your setup and being able to always run in
the background on all your operating systems so you can set and forget and it
even works across vpn's and tricky home networks if you get the pro version you
can get access to other cool features too like clipboard sharing dragging and
dropping files copy pasting lock screen synchronization and lots more we got
some nice pink spray paint thanks bro we got
uh steel rod we got stuff from the candy
shop oh you're excited about that shop stuff a bunch of paint prep stuff
our chalkboard that we talked about uh we got some
of these lights right here that we're gonna use above and below RGB yeah RGB
everything all the stuffs and then our sparkly uh stuff we showed you
we got some sparkly glitter glue stick things
and then all the associated like you know supplies paint rollers that kind of
crap nothing too exciting so all right let's get moving we're going to go in
there yeah we're running outside bye
we don't have to worry about the edge because we're working all right
so these are yeah full
by the time we get it cleaned off okay we're about to do that in the
morning okay all right five minutes
so from what i can tell those guys haven't done anything that looks good
so um yeah we could just wait a whole another day
don't touch that because it's not secured in any meaningful way
okay the idea evolved from
a flowing river of chocolate that the user can consume
into having it be like like a candy
place themed into having some things
maybe be wrapped in foil but then be chocolate inside
and then into now the tower is a factory
and outside is like where the workers harvest the materials to make candy
the guy can't even stand up what
well no that's fine we'll just hot glue everything
i mean all of those changes occurred within a span of a couple of hours
meaning that there's been very little decisive action
and very little time to act on it wait the decisive action is the action i
mean this is what this is what i'm talking about because we get fun you know
like that's what this project is supposed to be about it's not supposed to be all
like serious who can build the best you know modded computer or whatever look at
these guys they're like
so i don't have the paint booth set up right now which means that
this is pretty much our best bet
um preferably
yeah this isn't ideal tuck tape tuck tape hit
me with the duct tape nice throw
okay
their measurement of a good day
how much painting you can do maybe it isn't about painting
and i'm gonna spring into action springing into action for day two
let's get on this first things first i need to get another
coat of my stain on here got my got my dark brown stain i got one
here you know got other ones that i can't show you because it's too hot for
tv i mean that's hot to some people i think
like maybe we could do like a brick street kind of deal and use like
kitkat bars and have the wheelbarrow there and they're like laying them out
on top like GPU or something totally cool um this is honestly not the one i
wanted they didn't have the one i wanted in stock but i think it'll get the point
across uh it's probably good enough yeah
so i'm gonna work on getting this while you finish disassembling i'm gonna work on
getting this uh cut out and i want it to line up as perfectly
along the sides as we can get away with i reflected a lot last night
and i'm coming into today
feeling a lot better actually
today's a fresh day it doesn't have to be affected by the
failures of yesterday
so this is what we call the comfort surface
i think we need a mouse pad or else we'll lose some points because our comfort surface is like exceptionally
uncomfortable yeah no oh it's not exceptional i mean it's a
little uncomfortable you definitely red mark your hand like real fast this has
to come off and i need to do some more staining
tell me objectively does it look bad like no and you're gonna cover it anyway
so why does it matter okay fine good while luke and Linus are going with
brown the other team is getting started with good old-fashioned white hopefully
their plan for painting won't be as big of a letdown as it was in scrapyard wars
yeah so i just finished cleaning off all the stickers that were on the case so we
could paint where those were and then just kind of wiped it down with dinner
to get it ready to paint
okay so i got full coverage on the first coat i'm gonna let that sit it might
take a couple hours
i'm not sure how to get these grates off of some of these parts but i'm working on it great
get it yes we'll make it great again
we need to jury rig ourselves some way to hang things once
we're done painting them honestly luke
i think a good enough paint job
plus our x factor could be enough to do this
maybe because i honestly don't think the judges are going to look that closely at
the paint biggest mistake yesterday was not just
like going with something and then just like
frantically doing it i think that's what we need to do for the next three days well that's yeah
yeah i don't know if i agree on the first part but that is what we need to do now
there's kind of a wild card here because uh like i really didn't see this team
assignment coming i mean literally no one did i think
not even Colton yep oh yeah you were here for that right yep
Colton's like what that doesn't make any sense
i'm not going to be the kid on the school yard that whines about the teams
i'm going to be the kid on the school yard who makes the best of his crappy team
luke and Linus might have a shot at making up for their slow start they're
going full speed ahead with whatever half big idea they have but will it be
enough find out next time on tech showdown
