the Corsair flash Voyager go is the easy way to move photos music and videos
between your Android device and your PC click now to learn
more so the funny thing about that I'm holding a slate right now
click is that I've actually been working on building this computer since before
we even had any practices like slating or I had my own company and a staff of
people all for the sake of making YouTube videos about computers and the
irony there I guess is that we've been doing this professionally all this time
and I still can't manage to actually build my own computer and complete it
it's been mostly done for a while but
there were some delays in releasing the video because the LED strips I'm using
these are phobia UV LED slips they're strips they're actually fairly unique um
most of the LEDs on my original strips actually failed so we weren't going to
be able to film it very well so I finally gotten around to swapping them
out with some brand new ones and we are ready to take you guys on a tour of my
personal rig so we'll start with the component selection the CPU is a 4960x I
don't really recommend extreme editions though um really what I recommend is
4770k if you need hyperthreading 4570k
if you're just gaming four threads is enough and then if you're doing content
creation or any kind of professional work where you can really leverage additional course 4930k those are the
three CPUs that are like really the high performance options within Intel's
lineup for the RAM I'm using crucial's ballistics Tracer this is actually an
early revision of the memory that's not really compatible with the x79 platform
at all and uh has all kinds of problems
unless I run it at extremely loose timings and it's all like crappy I have
better RAM there's definitely RAM that will work better with my board but for
the sheer blame factor I did go with this stuff it's not perfect and it's
funny because like crucial has a utility so you can program the LEDs on it now by
default they're going to be um activity LEDs so they'll flash slowly if you're
not doing much and then they'll flash really fast if you're doing something really intens intensive but you can
configure them to do all kinds of different patterns and stuff unfortunately crucial's missing two
crucial patterns and that is off and
solid I don't really want them to flash like this what I would like is to have
the underglow ones solid the way that they are and I would like to actually
turn top ones off cuz I find them a little bit over the top but I'm still
going to stick with them anyway for the motherboard I've got a SS's workstation
class L LGA 2011 board this is the new Ivy Bridge e compatible model P9 x79 ews
is the E is the new part um the reason I went with the workstation class
motherboard is I'm just so sick of
consumer grade stuff just not really working right it feels like the more
features anyone tries to add to something it's like this router has like
beam technology it like focuses your you
know antenna as like a dish it wear your laptop it like I just want something
that's a Workhorse workstation grade and
this one does it it's got the overclocking stuff it's got a decent
audio codec it's got USB 3 like it's not a server board where it's like green PCB
and like two USB ports at the back but
it's it's also not over the top with like OC panels This and voltage
checkpoints that just plain Works absolutely love the board it also
has tons of PCI Express expansion um I wasn't sure at the time of originally
planning this build if I was going to go SLI so that would take up four of the
slots and then at the time um I was using a sound card it's actually still
in there but I don't actually use it anymore so I was using a sound card I
wanted a 10 gbit Nick which I have pulled out now because I don't have a 10
GB switch at my house anymore and finally I have a raid card in the rig as
well so I wanted seven PCI Express slots so that's another reason to go with a
workstation class board like this it is a little bit on the wider side which is
kind of funny because when I was cutting the hole in the motherboard tray for my
24 pin connector to wrap around I had to
position it um as if I might someday put a regular ATX board in and it still
won't show and be ugly so I had to like squeeze those cables to get them out
around the uh the edge of the motherboard because it actually goes over the the uh the hole that I cut on
the motherboard tray uh for the GPU I'm running a GTX Titan my original graphics
card solution was a 590 or I was thinking about going quad SLI with 590s
but quad SLI just really doesn't make any sense to me it um doesn't scale
particularly well unless you're running it very very high resolutions and it
introduces some driver issues that there's just no real solution for other
than to turn off SLI and if I'm going to put four gpus in my system we're talking
like a couple thousand dollars worth of gear I better be using it all the time
or I'm just not going to put it in so um the only reason I upgraded from the 5
which is actually a faster card than the GTX Titan in terms of raw performance uh
was that I really wanted game stream for my NVIDIA Shield so that I could stream
to myself and you have to have a Kepler based GPU for that to work so the Titan
ended up in here because we didn't have duplicates of any other graphics cards
we had two Titans so I was like okay the one Kepler that I can actually grab
happens to be a Titan so I threw that in there we also had a water block for it
from cool an that is absolutely beautiful so that why I went with that
I'll talk more about the water cooling after for the power supply I have an XFX
th000 watt 80 plus Platinum modular power supply that I sleeved myself I
didn't do a great job of the sleeving um you can do much better if you
individually sleeve each one I am using murder or MD PCX sleeving or whatever
that stuff is I got it from Charles from murderbox um so I'm using really good
sleeving but I did it a little bit differently than most people instead of doing each individual wire I actually
did each sleeve over two wires so you can't get quite as close to the
connector this way but I actually find
it looks a little bit cleaner with fewer wires and it did make the uh the cables
less bulky when I was trying to Route them around inside which was important
as you're going to see when I show you the cable management at the back and how
difficult that was the reason I went with this power supply this is what like
the only reason was that it was based on the same platform as seic 1000 watt
platinum and that was the first power supply that had the uh zero debel fan
feature so that the the power supply actually only turns on its fan when you
get to I think it's around 20 to 30% load so most of the time that fan
actually doesn't even spin um speaking of fans that don't even spin my fan
controller is an mcubed T balancer that's strapped on the back I'll show
you that more later but on this side there are four fans on the uh quad
Radiator in the bottom that's an old thermal chill pa1 120.4 not quite
classic thermal chill it's got the 15 mil spacing but uh it's still Thermo
chill so it's like old school water cooling high-end junk um so there's four
down there those one spin all the time then there's two on a hardware Labs
black ice Pro that is a pretty ancient Radiator in the front that's actually my
first water cooling radiator first one I ever bought with my Appo block and I
think I just did my CPU the first time I picked up an mCP 350 pump way back then
and uh that that ended up failing at some point I think I don't really like
those half height pumps the mCP the DDC series not a big fan I'm using a D5 now
so that one's hidden in the basement it's got the jankiest
um anti vibration Mount ever where actually it just has a little like
rubber sleeved wire between it and the side panel so that it doesn't pass any
vibration to the case so I've got a black ice Pro in the front that has two
fans that aren't spinning and then you may have actually noticed that the two
fans in the back here are also not spinning the two in the top do spin all
the time so the mqt balancer takes care of that so when the system is just
running at the desktop or web browsing most of the fans in it are actually off
and then the other ones are running at extremely low speeds and then as soon as I ramp up speeds um everything kicks
into high gear so I have two temperature sensors one at the top of the
motherboard and then one that is actually taped with thermal compound
between it and the bottom radiator in place so that I can monitor water
temperatures and air temperatures within the case and the appropriate fans react
accordingly whenever those temperatures increase so I don't remember where I was
going with that so raid card um that's an LSI 9268 I at the time that was an
extremely high-end card and was optimized for maximum throughput on
large SSD raid zero arrays which brings
us to my SSD arrangement I might not show these to you guys yet but there are
eight ssds around the back of the case ah what the hey we might as well just
like start cracking this baby open so there are
eight man these are tight with the powder coating I'll talk about the case
after because the case is quite a story lots of lots of things altered on that
oh I guess I should talk about the side panel before we get into the ssds okay so the side panel was a nightmare
because I don't like Plexi side panels because they're not really very clear
they're easy to scratch you can put micr scratches all over a Plexi side panel
just by wiping it down with a microfiber cloth like they're just terrible um
they're very very reflective compared to Glass and they're just not as good but
unfortunately what I wanted was to get someone to cut a glass panel and very
very carefully drill holes so that I could actually Mount the glass panel on
the back with bolts through the front so it would be extremely secure they
delivered me a piece of glass with all the holes drilled but I gave them my
side panel to do the sizing and they a couple of the holes were actually off on
the glass and you know what they did they took my side panel not painted yet
fortunately they took my side panel and just like widened the holes so I was
like oh okay great not only can I not use this because it's going to look
terrible and the piece of glass broke when they were drilling the last hole or
whatever so not only have you not delivered me a usable piece of glass you've widened the hole on a side panel
that I actually can't replace because every tj07 is a little bit different and
Silverstone won't even give you a new side panel because there's a chance it
won't fit with the curvature at the front so what I ended up having to do
then is a kind of a more ghetto solution so I just went to a glass shop got a
regular piece of glass and they offered to use an industrial double-sided tape
to tape it on for me that's how it's attached then I went to Home Depot I got
a couple little finishing nubin things there and I just glued them on so that's
how the side panel works I wish I had a more sort of glamorous story about that
um what was I talking about right RAID controller so I guess this will be my
first opportunity to show you guys the horribleness at the back here it is an
absolute rat Nest back there and part of it's my fault but part of it is just
that uh there's a lot of cables going on back there so that is the eight Drive
raid zero array that powers my personal
machine it is kind of ridiculous it's actually stupid nobody nobody people ask
me about my personal machine all the time and I say just because I'm running
something doesn't mean you should nobody should run this configuration that is
eight Corsair Force refurbished ssds
running in raid zero off of that raid card it is pretty much going to fail at
some point but I do nightly backups and I keep almost nothing of substance on it
other than maybe the odd save game here and there so everything else goes off to
a NZ so that's why I have an Intel Nick in here just for slightly better
performance to the nas it really doesn't make much of a difference these days especially because a workstation board
like this has an excellent Nick on it already so the cable management for that
was done with one of the case modifications that I had to do which was
cutting Cable Management holes down at the bottom of the motherboard tray in
addition to the CPU tray cutout that the tj7 doesn't come with natively the 24
pin and um 8 Pin and six pin for the
graphics card cutouts that are over here on this side as well as these cable
management holes that are cut into the um the divider between the top of the
case and the basement just so that I can get cables up to the top without using
the cable management holes that are included in that divider because they're
they're quite ugly you can't really hide the cables there at all so what kind of
performance do I get out of this well well over 1 Gigabyte per second reads
and wrs so it's extremely fast I actually changed over from these ssds to
just a single SSD for a little while because I don't remember I was doing
some kind of Maintenance and I didn't notice immediately um that there was a
difference but then when I went back to these ones I was like I had forgotten
how fast it was it's actually really really really fast just again not
something I really recommend I do have an optical drive in my system something
that a couple of you have probably noticed by now and the story there is
that I originally added an optical drive to it because I got a great deal on a
fairly unique item at the time LG did an HD DVD SL Blu-ray Reading Drive it was a
couple hundred bucks but I got it for like a hundred and it was also a DVD
rewriter and a CD writer I think I'm not
sure if it can yes and wait hold on yeah
so so it records DVDs and CDs and reads Blu-rays and HD DVDs now I was like okay
this is the last optical drive I'll ever need and it turns out I was right so
it's in there so the reason that it's still in there is because I only sourced
six of these These are original antech 900 front cage covers and I only sourced
six of them so I didn't have a seventh to put in even if I did want to take the
optical drive out plus the way that that front radiator mounted with just like a
piece of like sticky double-sided velcro thing rolled up under the bottom so that
it like sticks in place and then Velcro on the bottom of the DVD drive and the
radiator stuck to that I can't really take the optical drive out anyway so
that's why I have one um yeah doesn't
make it's not great uh so the fan controller I guess I guess I I talked
about that already um I'll cover a couple more things about liquid cooling
I'm using bits power true silver 3/8 in
ID 5/8 in O compressions I think that 38
ID 5/8 OD is pretty much The Sweet Spot in terms of performance because if you
go lower than that you go down to like quar inch tubing you're going to drop about a degree of performance maybe two
um and if you go up to 1 half it doesn't really make a difference and then the
advantage of 38 over 1/2 is you can get much tighter Bend radi without kinking
so I really really like thick wall 38 inch tubing and then these are the
compressions that go with it the other thing is that you get better compatibility by going with 38 inch
tubing because half inch compressions especially if you get thick wall so 3/4
inch OD uh tubing the compressions to go with those are huge and they barely fit
on anything so that was why I went that route this is a t- virus Reservoir right
here it's a clear outside um and then I my original one was actually frosted
blue for the for the he double helix inside but um i r made it and they kind
of screwed it up they sent me back a clear one it actually looks just fine um
it used to look a little bit better back when the cathode in there wasn't so
faded out I got to get a new one and get it replaced but uh very very cool item
you can get those from uh Frozen Q what
else ah yes fans okay you may have also noticed the complete absence of Noctua
fans yes I'm shallow part of the problem is not that
I don't think Noctua fans can look good I think they can look good in some
machines in fact um are upcoming Hackintosh build guide is going to have
noctu a fans in an h440 from NZXT and I
think it looks really really sharp in there but the problem is that it needs
to go with the rest of this system and it just doesn't so I needed blue fans
and the good news is there are some very high quality blue fans available so on
my bottom radiator I'm using the original Silverstone air penetrators I
think they're AP 121s or something like that so what's great about those is they
take your airf flow and they turn them into kind of a a like a cyclone a funnel
of air away from them and because the basement here only has this intake on
the rad which is by the way mounted with velcro just on the bottom so um takes
the air flow through and then I want it to push it out the other side but
there's nothing kind of containing that air flow because this is this is quite
open so I wanted something that is able to direct air flow like that so that's
why I went with those there and then for everything that's visible up here in the
top I'm using GED Wings because they undervolt quite gracefully they're easy
to clean you can actually pop the blade right off them if you want to clean them
which is quite okay I'm not going to do it now but that's quite nice and uh
they're reasonably quiet even at LAD they also come with really nice rubber
grommets so was quite a chore to do this one but the rubber grommets are
installed on the back ones and then the one on the inside where normally in the
tj07 you slide the fans in and then screw them in I had to get the fans in
so I had to actually bend that cage Open Force the fans in somehow thread all the
little rubber grommets through and then bend the cage back shut I cut my hands
every time I've had to do that and cable managing is kind of a nightmare as well
because there's only a little tiny like Gap left where you can slip a wire
through it uh liquid cooling
components I think that's pretty much it for the water oh yes that's not it so
the uh sort of the the centerpiece of this rig is an apple gtz from swifttech
that is the goldplated limited edition
of it I got number 169 um I also had it altered a little
bit so the hold down plate is normally just I think it's more of a flat powder
coat but I've got Mountain mods's black wrinkle powder coat which matches the
outside of the case um put on there aftermarket so I figured if I'm sending
in the case I might as well send in that piece too the only thing in here that I
could have powder coated I think that I didn't is the casing for the optical
drive that I just spray painted it still kind of bothers me when I look at it but
uh not that huge of a deal I guess and
then I already mentioned the mCP 655 or D5 pump in the bottom I do really
recommend if you're going to go with a D5 pump that you go with the variable
speed one not only does it go to a
higher RPM than the fixed one which is fixed at about four out of five of the
variable one but when you turn it down all the way I keep mine all the way down
you're only going to lose a couple degrees to a few degrees of temperatures
and it is extremely quiet it's one of
people talk about this all the time and it drives me crazy like the internet
doesn't know silent silent is silent and
not silent is not silent mCP 350s are not silent ddcs are not silent at all
they're loud and this one when you turn it down is legitimately extremely quiet
almost silent I mean my mic's on my chest
here that's what my rig sounds like nothing that is satisfactory anything
else is not silent so there's that um I
think that's pretty much it for like the component choices so let's talk about
the case the origin of this case I've had a lot of people ask me why do you why do you
use that tj07 that thing is ancient and
you're right it was a gift from my wife way back when we were dating it was the
first big ticket item present that she ever bought me so there's some
sentimental value there and then there's also the fact that I personally don't
think a better case has been made yet and better is a subjective word it means
different things to different people to me better means a combination of a lot
of things it means means the design it means the build quality it means the
craftsmanship that went into it are there cases with better features than
this one that are perhaps more water cooling friendly you don't have to mount your front radiator with velcro and your
bottom radiator with well also velcro um
yes there are better cases in terms of features these days but the the feet the
manufacturing feet of this single unibody piece that goes all the way from
the back of the top to the back of the bottom and is a single thick piece of
aluminum has not been replicated since the tj07 except by the tj11 which I have
a whole set of problems with aside from it being too big for me um I just don't
find it as um I don't find it as space efficient as the tj07 and I don't want
anything bigger I mean this thing already weighs 59 Pounds full of
Hardware I don't need anything any bigger or any heavier so that's that's
my that's my whole thing there so the craftsmanship of it is something that I
really appreciate I don't really like plastic if I don't have to use it and
the other thing is why would I need to upgrade I've had a lot of people tell me
why don't you get a switch 810 well because a switch 810 is plastic for one
thing and for two I think it's pretty Gody looking whereas this is a more a
very clean very classical look and it fits all the hardware I need people are
like oh the switch 810 fits this in this I don't care I'm running One graphics
card it's sort of normal eatx board I don't have an XL ATX board I have six
fans 6 120 mm fans worth of radiator to
cool a GPU and a CPU like that's it um
so it's already extremely silent what do I need more for so anyway that's why I
still have the tj7 there are some things where people
have a good point though I've spent way too much on this tj07 I mean back in
like my first build that I did in it where I really wanted to like go crazy
on it um I wanted to get the mid plate
actually polished so it's like a raw aluminum um stock and I wanted to get it
polished to a mirr shine I'd seen it done before and it looked really really
good so the place I took it to to get that done they completely screwed it up
they made a total mess of it and it was like completely unusable so that was the
point where I was like okay well I will have to powder coat the interior so I
went to Mountain mods I got them to powder coat the interior this was all
like the first time the outside still had the very beautiful stock anodized uh
aluminum finish on it so when that got
beat up and it was time to redo the build anyway and I was going to tear the
whole thing apart that's another thing that's great about the tj07 again
features that aren't on a spec sheet it can be taken apart completely it is
assembled with screws not with rivets so but when it came time to take it apart
again I was like okay I'm going to send the whole thing away I want to get it
powder coated for the outside but the inside was all beat up from upgrading
hardware and you know dinging it and stuff like that so I started looking into how to get powder coating stripped
oh extremely expensive involves like chemical baths and there's like no
guarantees that the parts will even make it so I took a gamble they came out okay
but I think it cost me a couple hundred bucks like it was ridiculous um but only
there so one of these uh PCI screws it's not really threaded anymore I just have
like some Loctite in there so that it stays and then other than that it
survived the uh the chemical bath pretty well so I sent it away to Mountain mods
to be coated again and other than one screw up on the right side panel which
looks pretty ugly it actually came out really really well I think their black
wrinkle finish is one of the most beautiful powder coating finishes available it's actually uses quite a
glossy paint but then there's so much texture to the finish that the light
scatters really well and it ends up having more like a a net matte effect
anyway um so that that cost me another I don't know 150 bucks or whatever like
that and people kind of look at and go well you could have just bought yourself a new case because you powder coated it
once stripped the powder coating off powder coated it again I'm just like uh
yeah you're probably right but you can't
achieve this case with the changes that I've made to it including the cable
management in the back and uh well
mostly the cable management in the back is all that I really added to it without
buying a tj7 and getting it powder put it anyway so buying a new tj07 still
costs like 350 or 400 bucks or whatever so there you go I might as well just
reuse this one uh one other change I did make to the case is the front IO I've
completely done away with the audio ports because I'm using an objective 2
and odac now so I don't need the front audio on my case so all I have in there
is two USB 3 ports which is something that the case doesn't come with by
default this little uh this little uh door right here is actually kind of a
funny story once I had the case painted the buildup of the paint made made it so
that the stock magnet wasn't strong enough to attract the door and and cause
it to close so it would just fall open so I had to sand down the powder coating
on the steel piece inside the door and then I had to go steal a fridge magnet
that had a rare earth magnet in it was one of those cute little like uh like
bulletin board tack ones that has a rare earth magnet in it so I had just like
cut that thing open and then steal the magnet out of it and then the magnet was
too big to fit so I had to like file it down and like super glue it in there and
that's the only reason that front door closes so that was uh that was pretty
janky um front bays are just mounted
with like wood screws basically there's a lot of things that are super imperfect
about the machine but I think that's part of what gives it character right
let's talk oh cable management at the
back so there's a lot of stuff back here
there's the temp probes that help me control the fan speeds there's all the
fans so every fan in the system is plugged in in the back uh in the back
here somehow so I think down here I I have handmade adapters so that all four
fans on the bottom radiator can be combined into a single lead to come up
to the top up here and then everything else kind of runs back here as well the
tea balancer is something I get asked about a lot it's a real bear to
configure I don't recommend that people buy it unless they want to fight with it
for probably a good like you know 3 to six hours to really get it working
properly but once you do I've had this thing for a few years now and I've
hardly even touched it so you know it's
great for what it is it's not great for a lot of the other things that it is I
guess I don't really have too much else to say I'm just kind of looking at some
of the other sort of notes that I have for myself oh so there's some kind of
funny little imperfections and ghetto Solutions I get asked by quite a few
people how to keep their graphics card from sagging and the solution that I
managed to come up with is really really stupid I took like a little piece of um
it's a piece of a v checkpoint so it actually is like a wrapped rubber uh
little metal piece inside and I jammed it in between the PCI slot rear like
bracket piece and a DVI port and what that did is it gave the graphics card a
little bit of extra support so it ends up being a little bit straighter it's
not even it doesn't make that much of a difference though and the rear side
panel it's really funny because it's almost impossible to close so is this
like is this something that Steve Jobs would be proud of I don't think so but
is it something that serves me extremely well and uh has been worth the effort oh
I don't know it serves me well I don't know if it was worth the effort but I
think that pretty much wraps it up that is the end of personal rig update 2012
and it is very unlikely that I will be touching my personal rig anytime in the
next probably couple of years other than maybe a graphics card upgrade um that's
something that people ask me about a lot as well is why' you go so like ghetto
why are you just using you know regular primoflex tubing and like curves like
this when the fashion these days is to use angled fittings and very straight
tubing runs and I love that I think it looks fantastic um but the issue is that
I've always been of a philosophy that
something that's your actual daily driver rig has to be very easily
upgradeable so this approach gives me a lot more flexibility in terms of if I
want to do a GPU swap I can probably get a GPU swap done in like I don't know 20
minutes tops and whereas if you have like all like hard piping tubing it's
pretty much impossible it's a real nightmare like I can just like take my
CPU block off I can do a CPU swap in like eight minutes so stuff like that
making sure that the system is upgradeable and something that I can continue to add to in the future is
something that I've always kind of thought about as I've built up this machine although I think now we've
reached the point where I'm really not going to make too many changes to it other than when Star Citizen launches
I'll be putting in a whatever makes sense at that point we'll see how things
shake down with mantle and direct X12 and whatever graphics card ends up going
in there that's pretty much it guys
sorry for the super long video like it if you liked it disliked it if you
disliked it leave a comment and let me know if you have anything to say about
the rig obviously I'll be reading the comments pretty carefully on something
that's you know about my own sort of Pride and Joy here um don't forget you
can support Linus Media Group by contributing to us monthly to allow me
to build more computers like this evidently um actually it's funny I I
should okay before before I finish the video I'll tell you guys which ones are samples and which ones I actually
legitimately paid for um so you can do that you can buy T-shirts you can change
your sorry my cameraman fell asleep at the wheel over there so the uh you know
SD card got all filled up because he made that last shot take so long so I
was just going to say as always guys thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe and then now I don't even
remember the story I was going to tell what was it oh yeah oh yeah which stuff
which stuff like I legitimately paid for and which stuff was samples okay so
we'll go through part by part the case has cost me a grand total of and my now
wife so because it was bought initially um has cost like easily about $1,000 up
till now like but when you consider that
it's made it through quite a few builds and that's been over a span of like five
years now or however long it's been four or five years it's like buying a new
really nice case every year I guess so I can justify that to myself uh the uh the
radiator in the front like I said was part of my very first cooling setup the
optical drive I bought the t- virus Reservoir I'm just trying to remember no
that was a sample so I did that one as a that was an unboxing um the motherboard
itself was a sample from ASUS the RAM came from crucial the CPU again I would
not recommend running an extreme Edition unless you get them as like an engineering sample and you don't have
anything else to do with them then you throw them in your rig um the water
block that that Apple I actually had
swifttech offer to send me one of these Limited Edition which they only did 200
of them goldplated and I was like nope Gabe I can't do that I have to buy it I
I must buy it because otherwise I won't feel worthy to own such a very very cool
piece of computer hardware so I paid for the CPU block all the fittings as well
those are really expensive the true silver fittings uh the Titan and the
cool an block were things that we used for a video and then the uh the
Sennheiser sound card that came with a that came as like a bundle with a
headset for my wife uh the raid card yeah that was that was
my problem and then the ssds oh spent a
grand on those that was one of the biggest computer purchases I've ever
made was buying all those 8 ssds at once
um but it was a really good deal like to this day it still holds up pretty well
from a price to Performance standpoint this whole solution so it was about
1,500 total or so cuz I was able to get
those drives for under under a dollar per gig cuz it was like a crazy refer
blowout this is back in San Force One days getting them under a dollar per gig
it was a really good deal so I was like okay this is my opportunity I'm going to
get my ultimate SSD set up 900 gigs SSD
super fast I went for it so was like crazy balls um this radiator was a
purchase those fans were a purchase the XFX power supply was a sample so but I
would have bought one if I wasn't able to get one otherwise but don't tell XFX
that and I think that pretty much much wraps it up so there you go guys the
benefits of being a YouTuber yes you do get a bunch of samples which is really
really cool but oh I bought the te balancer as well but it also forces you
to like buy other stuff to go with it well it doesn't Force you but you know
and it's like getting a job somewhere where you have like a great staff
discount you end up spending more there even though you have your staff discount
than you would have if you just didn't work there and didn't go there every day
so all right I think I'm done now
yes I'm done now
