I like the new house it's got most of the things that I care
about in it but My First Love isn't here yet
we haven't moved our computers all right the computer room is empty so the goal
today is to get both mine and Yvonne's computers moved over here set up and
most importantly wired in and it's going
to be a little bit tricky because unlike most people's computers who sit right
next to their monitor and their peripherals ours are gonna sit somewhere
in the depths of the basement and use Fiber Optic Cables to connect to our
stations here in the office should go fine you know what else is
fine our sponsor ViewSonic their Elite
xg321 ug mini LED monitor offers a 4K
native IPS panel with 144hz refresh rate and g-sync ultimate R4 and a quantum dot
color layer so it's great for gamers and creators learn more at the link down
below
this is where my computer plugs in I have no idea how that's going to reach
my computer and I can't even reach it fortunately for today's Endeavor I do
have a helper hello special guest appearance Luke
LaFreniere I love your shirt by the way um we traded not the company I work for
where are they supposed to go where's your computer well they're gonna have to go into the road my computer's not here
we're gonna have to move that oh you thought I was prepared for this or what
like the main problem isn't going to be the computer I think this is mine what this yeah well
for all the stuff employees have stolen from me over the years
you actually gave it to me oh did I you had two the main problem is going to be
all the peripherals and accessories and microphones and stuff like that you're
just gonna start unplugging and I just grab stuff we didn't bring any bins the
problem with cable management is at some point you have to unmanage it I wonder
if you could make that better oh Luke's Luke teasing the new products yes we'll
be showing our new cable management product today the early prototypes I
counted box well this is great what is
hanging off of me ah cable ties they're so
sticky lttstar.com don't let me move the monitor uh yeah sure do you want to oh
okay see it's like really expensive so I was gonna be careful with it but he just
while Linus plays with his little PC we're going to be solving important
problems like whether or not our van fits in here now I say important but my
solution to this is really simple let's just park the van over there but Linus
is really insistent that it has to go on this side so I guess it's important to
him we have these two steps here and I think the front of it might just cross
it so it might not work but we're going to clear the space and try to figure that out for him we already moved
Yvonne's computer oh yeah I'm really really looking forward to having proper
access to all sides of my rack I'm uh I'm excited for having access to all
sides of your rack too thankfully it's cute this is really not my finest work
just hire professional movers they don't have to cost as much as the horrible
quote we got you should yeah this is not good don't overburden yourself there
Luke that was a lot it's a heavy load I'm just gonna I'm really glad really
glad you're not overburdening yourself just gonna make sure that you can yeah there you go
I think it's just the Monitor and we're good yeah sure I'll do a sweep upstairs and make sure actually I'm going to pull
this in
what a good driver
okay so um you want to help Guide Me In
sure you're not straight
so you're just finding this out now okay
uh Luke am I in no you got to go deeper okay
that's all I got you gotta keep coming you gotta push
coming you have okay stop your Bumper's over the stair well just barely just
barely what about the back though you have a lot of room actually I mean I
don't know if I'd call it a lot of room okay this is a high risk maneuver we're
gonna close the garage and I'm gonna back up to high risk maneuver think of
the views Linus just drive right through the door that's much better just
realized we forgot the rails for this thing so I'm hauling it down here but I
can't even mount it I do have Yvonne's rails here so I can at least Mount one
of them for now okay so you guide your side in I guide my side in anytime sorry
it's just really big it's hard to just give her yeah it's
time to figure out if this reaches oh this is bad this is not long enough wait
the green fiber only needs to go to the icron dock where are the icon Docs
yay that's the source side
this is the client side here's what I'm kind of feeling Luke without any desks
let's just see if all the in-floor and in-wall fiber optics actually work okay
so we're going functionality first let's go function first sounds good Mark come
check this out remember the fiber optic and DisplayPort cables that I showed you
down in the server room well this is
theoretically how it works you just plug in and you're good to go these little
covers here very very important they
keep the ah the fiber optic ends clean
and if they get dirty it's a real chore to clean them and then you just plug in
like that easy what do you think are the odds it
lights up hello are you on or not no
dice wait what is this why would we put
two extensions on it now we're gonna plug in directly I think
this might be that end oh goodness I see
it you want me to grab it hold on oh sorry nobody breathe everybody don't
breathe what the hell okay yes so it's
going in here it's in here oh balls so
it's right here I was plugging completely the wrong Cable in oh wait
yes they're labeled I have the other end of the cable you are holding this is the
rack end which explains why that was so short because it was never intended to
go in the rack I was actually wondering how I was supposed to plug in her fiber
unit because I didn't see any plugs on that side there is the hole in the floor
this is great news it means that this
goes to you this plugs into Yvonne's
fiber USB thing that means this one next to it is almost certainly the one on my
end wait no no where was the one next to it there was one bundled with that one
pretty sure that was it yeah okay I'm feeling good wait this doesn't help us
with the DisplayPort do you want to go check if there's a label on the DP cable
sticking out of the wall 24. some of these aren't even labeled yeah but they
have labels here 24 24 yeah okay
all right got it got it got it got it yay
now we need to know if it's actually going to work through the wall plate
thing we're gonna be okay that goes there
oh yes we're not out of the woods yet though just because it's working at 4K
60 hertz doesn't mean that it has the
signal Integrity to work at 4K 120 hertz actually it seems to be working at 120
hertz right now that's a very good sign Minor Detail I haven't transported my
desk to the new place and I didn't bring a drill here so I guess I get to do this
manually taking the top off I'm not gonna hit I'm good well would
have hit that look at this guy's showboating as soon as the camera turns on he's like oh I'll grab something
heavy now it should be noted this is not the final form desktop for the new place
these are Cable Management speed holes ah that are from my previous setup and
it's not actually the full size that I'm going to be putting there but what I can
do is I can set everything up the way that I think it will go maybe put some
like cardboard extensions map out exactly where I want all the new holes
and then I can use it as a template for the real desk put all the holes in and
then I'll be ready to go right out of the gate yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
stop looks busy upstairs so my plan is
to solo install Yvonne's machine in the rack you know I had actually intended to
upgrade her GPU but I do not know where
that graphics card is it's a Titan RTX oh crap now I need these out don't worry
I'm a professional but I have whoa
solo installed these a few times that happens once in a while I've never built
one of these before but it seems pretty straightforward so not a big deal
as I miss very cool Luke we don't need
this Cable Management tray because I have the cable management thing I've
been teasing all day on the surface these are perfectly normal
Cable Management arches but what's special about them
hahaha is how
strong they are so you'll be able to use all the different sizes to manage
everything from gigantic bundles of wire like this down to individual wires Boop
here's an example of a perfect application for these I put a cable tie
on this and had it just hanging here but what I could have done since I know that
this is temporary and I'm going to do a better job of this later
it's just gone like this these are little steel plates and these
are going to be really useful for our cable management stuff the ones that we
actually make are going to have holes in them instead of just adhesive but you'll
be able to stick them onto anything and then you'll be able to take all your
tables or whatever and you'll be able to run them through
there and then you'll take your little Arch
and cable managed it down into place there's going to be one that's designed to hold
down power bricks like this look they gotta understand the products they gonna
have to run this business for us someday then there's this one which is designed
for you to run a cable tie through it like this and then that one can hold as
many things as you can fit in a cable tie you're good uh wow you're going uh
okay sure yes uh why not it's taking
shortcuts here ladies and gentlemen I used to have two Staples in here holding
this extra coil of wire no more all
about the magnets now hello
okay okay
flipping awesome really not my finest work but hey it's all magnetic so it's
super easy to change which is cool but I saved the coolest part for last part of
the point of having my machine in a central location like this and then
using fiber optic cabling to get signals elsewhere in the house is that I can
actually use it in different parts of
the house is there an HDMI to there crap
I don't think there is that's okay we can cheat unfortunately this one's only
HDMI 2.0 so it'll do 4K 60 hertz still
that's perfectly fine for our demo there's conduit so that I can run
something HDMI 2.1 compliant over to the theater room or to the land room or
wherever the case may be okay aux one
please just immediately work what are the odds my brain hurts it'll work it's
it didn't work you lied to me second display is here extend duplicate these
displays okay guys we are so good at this
okay theoretically
Steam Big Picture down we go there it is
we got him ladies and gentlemen powerful
sure steam clouder wait oh is this still
I have I have no other controls the only controls are also I don't detect any
audio definitely some things to fine-tune but I mean it's functioning
yes and there's no fan noise
no heat output in either the theater room
or in the office upstairs an input lag feels fantastic well of course because
it's just an optical HDMI or an optical DisplayPort connection there's no
additional latency compared to just running a regular cable
or what did you die I didn't even die did you killing my own brambles I guess
this is not going well for me
oh what is that nice hash switching
oh my God the stupidest part of this is
the pool I'm mining into is like the lounge night lunch one I think I'm just
gonna stop basically you just need keyboard mouse
down here this is not a great experience can we even get back I don't think we
could get out of it as a Microsoft button just like we can't get out of
