1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160 Can I start by saying this is the greatest welcome mat of all time? Riley 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:11,519 and his wife Lauren bought this apartment back in August 2019 with the 3 00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:19,119 intention of renovating it to reflect their minimalistic style. And just 2 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,480 weeks before their we boy arrived, they 5 00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,480 completed it with the help of their friends and family. As for the tech side 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:31,439 of things, well, between budgetary and time constraints, they didn't really get 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:36,160 it done, which is where Intel comes in. In episode two of Intel's extreme tech 8 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:43,600 upgrade, we're going to be equipping Riley with 5 grand US worth of tech to 9 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:46,840 take his minimalistic space and 10 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,840 do something. 11 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,039 Minimalism is about having not very many 12 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:08,799 things. And the few things that you do have have to be small and white or or 13 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:13,280 gray or or black except when you can have a big thing that is very colorful. 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:19,600 But most importantly, minimalism is about looking down on people who have 15 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,840 lots of things and saying, "Ew, you have 16 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,280 so many things. That's disgusting." So then you didn't buy any stuff. 17 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Oh, no. I bought stuff. Yep. I'm getting a new PC. I'm getting an ultrawide 18 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,560 monitor for that PC because I wanted that for a long time. I'm getting a TV, 19 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,799 Lionus. Can you imagine? Finally, I'm getting a digital piano because I don't 20 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,840 know if you know, that's why my nickname was Keys. 21 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,280 Really? I've never seen you play a piano. Tinkling the Ivaries. 22 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,159 First of all, do I understand this correctly? No, this was just here when we got here. 23 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,960 You did not have a TV. No. Uh, and I've been I've been made fun 24 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,799 of it uh relentlessly on Carpal Critics's movie podcast. Subscribe 25 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:09,679 today. Um because I've been watching movies on a laptop. Well, it's safe to 26 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,319 say that this is going to be a gigantic upgrade. 27 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:14,959 Yes, gigantic. It doesn't matter. All right. 28 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:21,120 And then this I don't get it. This this is your PC nook. Now, I 29 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,599 realize you're you have really gone out of your way to stage this place so 30 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,800 beautifully, minimalistically. Did you have to remove your old computer? 31 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,000 Why is it not here? My computer's right there. Oh, that's awesome. 32 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,680 Yeah. Oh, what a reveal. She ran the the cable management through the thing 33 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,599 and with a really cool Wi-Fi adapter. Oh, 34 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,720 but here's the deal. I had an office, but now the office is the baby room 35 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,400 because I just had a baby. And so, you know, you have to make sacrifices. 36 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,800 They take everything from you. So, so this is this is where I'm going to be 37 00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:00,720 just like next to the kitchen and I'm happy with it. But, uh, we made it we 38 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,280 and I'm happy with it. We made it just wide enough so that I can fit an ultra 39 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,480 wide monitor. You know, your son's going to watch this in like 10 years. He's going to be like, 40 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,640 "Wow, thanks, Dad." If the world hasn't exploded by then. 41 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:20,159 But that's not the whole setup in this corner, right? No. In this corner, we're also going to 42 00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:22,480 have a digital piano. And you might be 43 00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,400 asking, "Where's the piano?" It's It's not It's not here yet. Um because it's 44 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:32,080 sold out everywhere in Canada. Oh, bummer. Okay. Well, where's it going to go? Uh, it's going to go right here. 45 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:35,360 So, I got these folding brackets. Pause. 46 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,360 So, I got these folding brackets on Amazon for I think they're like, you 47 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,040 know, 19 bucks each or something. I think there's going to be a way to mount 48 00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:48,400 the keyboard onto them so that once they're on the wall, hit the little 49 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,480 switch and then it'll fold down so the 50 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,640 keyboard goes flat against the wall. And guess what color the keyboard is, 51 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:59,439 Lionus? White. That's correct. 52 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Did you wall mount your like cable 53 00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:07,120 modem? Yep, it's mounted. And then you guys have actually already 54 00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,760 drilled pilot holes and got your wire fishing wire here for the TV. So, you 55 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,040 guys are going to do a totally wirefree Yes. like installation here 56 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,000 because it wouldn't be minimalistic if we didn't do that. 57 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,720 Fantastic. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get started. What are you wait I don't know. 58 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:24,880 I'm I'm going to build this PC, right? You're going to build a PC? I'm going to 59 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:28,560 build a PC to with me. Let's build a PC. Where are we building 60 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,759 it? I mean, I'm good with the coffee table. Are you sure that Oh, I guess we could 61 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,199 sit and do it. I guess we could move the decorations. 62 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:41,919 No. For the heart of the system, this is an interesting choice. You've gone with 63 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,479 a B460 Pro Wi-Fi. I get the Wi-Fi 64 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:48,639 because cables are not minimalistic at all. Okay. 65 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,400 And then you've gone with a 10600 K. Now, I guess the K is just cuz it's a 66 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:57,440 little faster than the nonK. That's right. Yeah, I was thinking about going with the 10600, but the K does 67 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:02,720 have a higher base level performance. So, why would you go with a Core i5? 68 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:08,160 Uh, because I didn't necessarily need the raw horsepower of a Core i7. I'm not 69 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,520 doing like 8K crazy high-end editing, you know, so I will be doing some video 70 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,240 editing and I want to do some music production. So, the six cores will come in handy for that. Yeah. I mean, most 71 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:21,199 games don't need more than six cores these days anyway. So, this is a really 72 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:27,680 great choice if there are other parts of your system that you want to beef up. 73 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,479 So, I noticed you've gone with a pretty freaking crazy graphics card and monitor 74 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,360 combo. I have. The priority for me there was having that 3440x440 75 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,400 ultrawide because I've been using it at work. I'm tired of coming home to my 24 76 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,560 in 1080p. You know, that's why you game on your lunch break. 77 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,280 I get it now. Yeah, because it's like high-end. It's like, wo, I can't get this at home. 78 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:54,160 One of the other areas where you've gone extremely practical is cooling 79 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,400 with the Noctua NHU12A. 80 00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Yeah, this is just such a great choice. Like, it's not too much. It's definitely 81 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,960 going to give you nice quiet operation, which is important. And I also uh tend to record some 82 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,000 voiceovers in here. It's not the best room for that, but it's been working. 83 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,319 Okay. You guys might not know this, but Riley actually does some voice acting work. 84 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,400 He's been on My Little Pony just a little bit. Of course, one of the 85 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,560 biggest minimalism choices for our system is the case, the Corsair 275R 86 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,639 Carbide series. So, why don't I get started on getting everything mounted to 87 00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:31,039 the motherboard and then do you want to start putting the uh TV mount on the 88 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:37,919 wall? I will do this. Honestly, one of the big trends in gaming motherboards over the 89 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:42,240 last few years has been away from necessarily using the highestend 90 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:47,120 chipsets because from a gaming standpoint, unless you're overclocking, 91 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,680 the motherboard doesn't really make a big difference to performance. Now, one 92 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:57,120 area where Riley will not be able to maximize his 10600 K is in terms of 93 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:02,960 memory frequency, but Riley's only gone with 2666 MHz RAM anyway from GSkill. 94 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,120 So, that wasn't going to be a concern. At least the latencies are quite low on 95 00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,960 these, though. CL15. You know, Riley, I'm surprised you went with red memory. 96 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,599 Is that an accent piece? Kind of like the orange chair David's sitting on. 97 00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:17,680 Yeah, exactly. Is it? No, that was an accident. I'm not going 98 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,039 to see inside the PC cuz it's going to be in there the whole time. So, I didn't 99 00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:23,599 really think lots about the aesthetics of the inside. Got it. 100 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:29,360 Yeah. For storage, I guess you're not planning to have a ton of games installed at any 101 00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:34,160 given moment. I noticed you've gone with a single 500 gig M.2 drive. So, that's 102 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:37,199 going to give you great speed for your operating system and everything, but 103 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:42,639 you've only got 500 gigs of storage. I do, and that's because I already have 104 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:46,160 three SSDs in my system and a hard drive. I'm good for storage, but I did 105 00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:49,759 want to get an upgrade just to get that fast boot times. I've never had an NVMe 106 00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:56,000 SSD. I just, you know, I want to know what it feels like. The mount I'm using 107 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,879 is a Kanto PDX 650. And they were nice 108 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:04,080 enough to send it to us. And it's really strong. And you might notice 109 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,639 white. Oh my god. It doesn't matter. You're not going to see the mount cuz 110 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,360 it's behind the TV. I put this on upside down. In my in my 111 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:15,120 defense, I've never owned a TV before. I don't know how they work. Any setup is 112 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,360 going to be huge upgrade. So rather than going with a big giant home theater 113 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:24,479 setup with multiple speakers, also because that's not minimalist, went with 114 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,319 a Sonos Beam because it's basically a 115 00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:30,879 pretty good bang for your buck while still looking really nice and well, I 116 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:37,690 hope it will and uh with the whole setup. So here we go. 117 00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:50,560 This was actually a steal because I got it used. It's an ASUS PG348 118 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:54,240 Q, but the Q isn't on there. 3440x440 119 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:56,800 Hz, so it's not like the ballingest 120 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:01,920 gaming monitor. But the thing is that I mostly play single player games, and 121 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:06,560 occasionally I might jump on a multiplayer game in order for David to 122 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,680 show me how to get head shot cuz, you know, I I don't know. I don't know how 123 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:17,279 you do it. Let's see. Let's just double check that it fits. Oh yeah, lots of 124 00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:20,560 room. And we got vasa mounts. Because my 125 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:22,399 desk is so tiny, I really don't want to 126 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:26,399 screw around with taking up space with the with the stand for this monitor, 127 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:31,440 which is especially large. I'm discovering that this mount maybe is not 128 00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:35,360 great for this monitor. Mostly because of this little ridge here. 129 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,720 Uhhuh. Yes. What's What's this here? Originally, it's not very minimalistic to have two 130 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:44,640 mounts for one monitor. It's not. But originally, I purchased 131 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,959 this one uh that says it only supports 132 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,160 up to 32 inch TVs. Oh, 133 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,040 the weight limit is fine, though. Oh, come on. Look at this thing. 134 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,600 What? It's fine. It's metal. Well, sure, but it's got 30 lb carrying 135 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,760 capacity. Look at it. And the monitor's 25. 136 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:07,600 Exactly. What do you mean? The monitor's less than 30 lb. 137 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,320 Yeah, that's only five That's only 5 lb. Yeah, but they I like having some 138 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,760 leeway. There's a buffer built into it. This You don't think that could carry 139 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,920 buffers? You know, of course. Oh, wow. I didn't know that about this. 140 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:24,240 Riley. Riley, are you planning to carry the 141 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,320 drives over now? Like, should I rip that computer out and put all the drives in 142 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,519 here? Rip it out. Yeah, let's do that. All right. When you saw this setup, did you have 143 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,800 concerns about thermals? Yes. Well, there's vents. 144 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,120 Oh, boy. That's not enough. Wow, that's 145 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,680 a lot of SSDs. just kind of like a double-sided taped onto the thing. So, 146 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,640 this case is kind of an amalgamation. The original case, which is a bit 147 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:51,519 Phoenix Merc, which is like one of the cheapest cases you could get back in the 148 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,120 day, and uh some cannibalized parts from 149 00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:58,160 other random cases that were sitting around at NCX. That dust filter on the 150 00:10:55,519 --> 00:11:01,120 side, cannibalized. When if you take off the front, you'll also find another 151 00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:04,480 cannibalized dust filter that has no business being in there. Wow. Wonderful. 152 00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:08,800 So, I was really excited to get a new PC. There's bandits in these hills. What 153 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,959 are we? What? What is this bit? I don't know. What are you talking about? You 154 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,760 know that one of my eyes droops down, but you can't even tell cuz I wear 155 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,240 glasses. It's camouflage. That's not what it is. Disguise. What? Riley's off 156 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:25,279 looking for a square. But we're just going to use his side panel. Corsair 157 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,200 quality. It's probably square. Oh, look at that. How dead center is that puppy? 158 00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:32,959 So, what height do you want it at? Oh, uh, carefully. This is a like 159 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:39,440 there's a gap. I'm holding it. I can't right there. My hand is on it right now. 160 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,120 Pretend you're you're gaming or whatever. Yeah. No. 161 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:48,640 Huh? Well, where's the intensity? This is like you you got to be gaming. 162 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,000 Can you G first? Okay. So, don't worry 163 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,800 about don't worry about the left and right for now. I just want to know the height. 164 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:59,360 Uh, higher. Yeah, I think so. Higher. Yeah. Uh, higher. Why don't I hold it 165 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,200 now and you take a look? No, it's your monitor. Well, it doesn't matter what I think. 166 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,240 You're screwing it up. Oh, jeez. That's perfect. 167 00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:13,920 Okay, there's our Did you just punch my wall? 168 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,200 What the hell is a pipeline hard drive? Pro pipeline over here. 169 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:21,440 Pro pipeline. Pro pipeline. Riley, the environment can save itself. Here I 170 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:25,279 go. About to mutilate my wall. Hopefully, it works. It'll work to mutilate for sure. 171 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,440 At the very least, what we're doing right now is mutilating the wall. 172 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,120 So, half of this is the drywall and half is the stud. Well, we'll see how that 173 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:40,000 works. It's crying now. Now that I've got all 174 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:44,399 of my storage on a NAS, it's been a long time since I've wired up this many SATA 175 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,079 drives in a system. He's got five SATA drives. Okay, this isn't quite the best 176 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,880 I could do for cable management, but it's all I'm going to do. Yeah, I mean, 177 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:58,639 realistically, it's better than the cable management you had. So, absolutely, which is none. 178 00:12:54,560 --> 00:13:01,600 Minimalist. Minimal cable management. 179 00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:06,639 Yeah, it is super. It's a 2080 Super from ASUS. Look at how thick this cooler 180 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,720 is. The thick boy thick boy cooler. We're going to need it because there's 181 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:12,959 no ventilation in Riley's cabinet there. 182 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,480 Hey, let's just settle down here. That's okay. He's going to put fans in later. 183 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,560 We're going to add a fan. You're going to add more than one. Never take a 184 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:26,399 minimalistic approach to cooling. This is a free tech tip for you guys. So, if 185 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:28,240 you are building a PC for a buddy and 186 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:32,959 they're just honestly not worth the effort of proper cable management, you 187 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:37,920 kind of jam everything down like that. You take this here side panel and you 188 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,079 give it a little like city sit, you know. 189 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,360 Oh. Oh jeez. Then you just kind of bum slide it 190 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,279 forward like that. Oh my gosh. Are you still mounting that? 191 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:52,240 I've never done it before. Oh boy. 192 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,720 I'm doing it, David. I mean, Lionus, I'm 193 00:13:52,240 --> 00:14:00,240 ready. What do you guys think? Peel time. 194 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Yeah. Look at that rig. Did you check the height of this? 195 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:09,120 Uh, no. But we can move the shelves. 196 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:12,399 Wow. How white is that? Is this on here? It 197 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,839 is. All right. Good luck. 198 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,800 Wow. You did a great job, Riley. Did you really put a piece of paper there to 199 00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:25,360 catch the drywall? See, here's a here's a piece of handyman 200 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:30,079 tip for you, Lionus. Drywall screws up regular vacuums. You need a shop vac. 201 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,839 I did not know that. I know something about this stuff. 202 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,440 Did your father-in-law tell you that? Yes. And we experienced it oursel 203 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:41,519 because we ruined our vacuum filter with drywall. 204 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:44,320 Hey. Okay, let's settle down. So, this is it. 205 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:53,199 Let's do it. This is it. So, why did you choose this TV? 206 00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:54,720 Well, okay. So, this is the LG Nano90 207 00:14:53,199 --> 00:15:00,800 uh 65 in version. Yeah, it's not an OLED, but it has a 208 00:14:58,079 --> 00:15:03,040 great uh bright room performance, right? 209 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:08,160 And this is nothing if not a bright room. Yes. And that was the ma really the main 210 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:11,519 thing that I was looking at uh was just like finding a TV that would be good for 211 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,160 this really bright room with lots of sunlight coming in. Good reflection 212 00:15:13,199 --> 00:15:18,560 handling and viewing angles. HDR. 213 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,040 HDR. It's got that. It's got pretty good local dimming. Does it do 120 Hz? 214 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:26,320 Yes. Nice. And it's got HDMI 2.1. Oh, wait. Riley, you're not one of those 215 00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:29,360 horrible people that leaves the plastic on, are you? Cuz now I have removed some 216 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,399 of it. Oh, I was going to Is that minimalistic? I was going to 217 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,720 pres use it to preserve it for future generations. 218 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,760 Yeah. Okay, good. Do you want to put the hole in the wall now? Nope. 219 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:45,920 Do you trust me? Here's my pitch. Let's not. 220 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,160 This looks awesome. I know. Thank you so much. This is 221 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,279 amazing. You got that hole in there and run those cables down. You're not even going to 222 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,480 You're not going to see any of the It's like it's floating there. 223 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,560 I love it. Am I allowed to put my feet on your table? Is your table Is this a 224 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,480 foot table? It's for you. It is. No. No. for you. 225 00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:06,160 Sure. Yeah. Yeah, why not? No. Well, I don't know. Surely this is 226 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,320 not the right place for these, though. These have to go like these are table 227 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,480 books. Oh, well, we let those guys go wherever they want. Yeah. Otherwise, they might molest you. 228 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,759 Apparently, it's art, Lionus. Should they be evenly stacked or should 229 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,320 they be like intentionally unevenly stacked? Like, 230 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,320 this is looking pretty good actually. Show how little you give us. I like the I like the kind of sense of 231 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,519 aesthetics here. This is cool. And then maybe like maybe one. 232 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:32,480 Well, cuz this one should this one be open? Oh, now we're talking. How do you 233 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,800 like the magic remote? It's really nice, actually. I feel like 234 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:42,160 I'm using a Wii. It's great. Does this have built-in bowling or 235 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,360 No. Your internet is so bad. This is at 236 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:48,959 like 480. Guys, you don't understand. This looks great to me. 237 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:54,160 You know what? For how bright this room is, it is handling the glare really 238 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:57,120 well. Like, this is not bothering me. I can I can't even see the glare from that 239 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,279 window over there. When we were in the menus and it was dark, I could see it. And now with the content on, it looks 240 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,079 great. You want to hear the sound? Oh, yeah. How's the soundar? 241 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:11,079 Honestly, my expectations are pretty low given how small it is. But 242 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:16,160 uh yeah, that is not good. But I also think that 243 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:22,079 that sounds great. No, it doesn't. That's the TV speakers. Oh, 244 00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:28,919 could you shill less hard, please? which he promptly acted upon. 245 00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:28,919 That sounds pretty good. 246 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:33,919 Man, okay. Look, look, look, look, look, 247 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:39,840 look, look, look.

That's that pink suit really pops in the minimalistic 252 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,640 room. Oh, yeah. More pink suits. 253 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,760 All right. So, you don't play Rocket League like this, 254 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,240 dude. Where's your controller? Nope. I'm a mouse keyboard player. 255 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,760 You are not. I am.

Oh my gosh. 258 00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:18,799 This is so This is fantastic. 259 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:24,559 Uh, I'm going to be a bad teammate and go to here.

No, you ran into him. 263 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,400 No, I don't think uh I'm pretty sure you did. 264 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:47,840 Thought you were good at this. Yeah, Riley, what's going on? Oh my gosh, the heckling. I can't do it. 265 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:53,039 So, you tend to take a more passive approach. I like uh 266 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:55,039 Oh, how's the gaming experience? 267 00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:02,640 Oh, man. Is that enough FPS for buttery smooth? 268 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:06,080 Yeah. Nice. That's That's a good 248. 269 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,840 Woo! Guys, this is amazing 270 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,440 and totally minimalist. Rocket League. I might get back into 271 00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:15,760 Rocket League now. You know what's funny is I actually had a gaming setup like 272 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:22,760 this when I was in high school. I put my whole computer and monitor in my closet 273 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,760 so that I could close the closet. 274 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:30,799 I screwed it up. I actually really like your machine. 275 00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:32,240 It's like high performance enough. 276 00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:39,039 Very well paired for the resolution you're running on that monitor, but you didn't overkill anything. 277 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:42,080 Got the Core i5, got the RTX 2080 Super. 278 00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:45,679 You got a ton of storage now. 279 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:49,919 Oh, someone's blowed up right now. 280 00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:51,200 Oh, your teammate. Come on. 281 00:19:49,919 --> 00:19:54,720 Come on. Oh my gosh. 282 00:19:53,679 --> 00:19:58,799 You're good. You're good. You're good. You're good. Nice. Come on, boy. Come 283 00:19:57,919 --> 00:20:04,000 on. No. No. After all that, 284 00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:08,720 we had the highest score on the team. The highest score on fine. It's fine. 285 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:12,480 Both teams. All right. Way to go, Riley. This dude, you know, the problem is your 286 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,760 ping. You got 80 ping there. You got to got to get that get that power line in. 287 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:20,559 That's probably the one upgrade left, but but the highest score in the game. Who 288 00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:24,080 needs a less than 80 ping? No, I think power line is probably a 289 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:30,080 great idea. I definitely uh want to look into that. Quick update. Got the final piece of the 290 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:35,600 puzzle installed. The piano. It's the Casio Privia 291 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:41,039 PXs1000. So, it's installed on these brackets I 292 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,799 got on Amazon with the latch release. 293 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:48,960 Couple cool things about this model. It's the slimmest digital piano in its 294 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:51,280 class. And it can run on six AA 295 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:55,960 batteries, so it's not plugged in or anything. Look, it's free floating. 296 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:04,360 And it turns on. The reason I got those crazy Amazon folding brackets is so I 297 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,360 could do this. 298 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:15,320 Plug in a pedal and you're good to go. 299 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:30,240 Other than that, this setup is pretty much the bee's knees for a minimalistic, 300 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,360 not just gaming setup, but also movie watching setup. you really made the most 301 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,919 out of your budget and made the most out of Intel's sponsorship. Massive thanks 302 00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:41,919 to Intel for sponsoring not just this video, but this series. Guys, check out 303 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,919 their 10enth gen processors for your gaming rig at the link down in the video 304 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,919 description. And not just processors, SSDs, networking chipsets, all that good 305 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,960 stuff, we're going to have it linked down below. If you guys enjoyed this 306 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,919 video and you're looking for another one to watch, we actually just completed 307 00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:02,960 Anony's Intel Extreme Tech upgrade just one month ago, and he took a very 308 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:09,480 different approach to Riley for sure. His is more of like a VR ccentric 309 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,480 upgrade, right? Wireless.
