WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.160 Can I start by saying this is the greatest welcome mat of all time? Riley 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:11.519 and his wife Lauren bought this apartment back in August 2019 with the 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:19.119 intention of renovating it to reflect their minimalistic style. And just 2 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:20.480 weeks before their we boy arrived, they 00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:26.480 completed it with the help of their friends and family. As for the tech side 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:31.439 of things, well, between budgetary and time constraints, they didn't really get 00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:36.160 it done, which is where Intel comes in. In episode two of Intel's extreme tech 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:43.600 upgrade, we're going to be equipping Riley with 5 grand US worth of tech to 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:46.840 take his minimalistic space and 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.840 do something. 00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.039 Minimalism is about having not very many 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 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:13.280 gray or or black except when you can have a big thing that is very colorful. 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:19.600 But most importantly, minimalism is about looking down on people who have 00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:21.840 lots of things and saying, "Ew, you have 00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:27.280 so many things. That's disgusting." So then you didn't buy any stuff. 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 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, 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.799 Lionus. Can you imagine? Finally, I'm getting a digital piano because I don't 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.840 know if you know, that's why my nickname was Keys. 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.280 Really? I've never seen you play a piano. Tinkling the Ivaries. 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. 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 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:04.799 of it uh relentlessly on Carpal Critics's movie podcast. Subscribe 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.679 today. Um because I've been watching movies on a laptop. Well, it's safe to 00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.319 say that this is going to be a gigantic upgrade. 00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:14.959 Yes, gigantic. It doesn't matter. All right. 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:21.120 And then this I don't get it. This this is your PC nook. Now, I 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.599 realize you're you have really gone out of your way to stage this place so 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.800 beautifully, minimalistically. Did you have to remove your old computer? 00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:34.000 Why is it not here? My computer's right there. Oh, that's awesome. 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.680 Yeah. Oh, what a reveal. She ran the the cable management through the thing 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.599 and with a really cool Wi-Fi adapter. Oh, 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 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.400 because I just had a baby. And so, you know, you have to make sacrifices. 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 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 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 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, 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.640 "Wow, thanks, Dad." If the world hasn't exploded by then. 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 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.480 have a digital piano. And you might be 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 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. 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.360 So, I got these folding brackets. Pause. 00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:39.360 So, I got these folding brackets on Amazon for I think they're like, you 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 00:03:40.959 --> 00:03:48.400 the keyboard onto them so that once they're on the wall, hit the little 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:50.480 switch and then it'll fold down so the 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.640 keyboard goes flat against the wall. And guess what color the keyboard is, 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:59.439 Lionus? White. That's correct. 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.720 Did you wall mount your like cable 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:07.120 modem? Yep, it's mounted. And then you guys have actually already 00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:11.760 drilled pilot holes and got your wire fishing wire here for the TV. So, you 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.040 guys are going to do a totally wirefree Yes. like installation here 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:18.000 because it wouldn't be minimalistic if we didn't do that. 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. 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 00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:28.560 build a PC to with me. Let's build a PC. Where are we building 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 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:37.199 sit and do it. I guess we could move the decorations. 00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:41.919 No. For the heart of the system, this is an interesting choice. You've gone with 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.479 a B460 Pro Wi-Fi. I get the Wi-Fi 00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:48.639 because cables are not minimalistic at all. Okay. 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 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 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.720 have a higher base level performance. So, why would you go with a Core i5? 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 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.520 doing like 8K crazy high-end editing, you know, so I will be doing some video 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 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:21.199 games don't need more than six cores these days anyway. So, this is a really 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:27.680 great choice if there are other parts of your system that you want to beef up. 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.479 So, I noticed you've gone with a pretty freaking crazy graphics card and monitor 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:37.360 combo. I have. The priority for me there was having that 3440x440 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 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.560 in 1080p. You know, that's why you game on your lunch break. 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. 00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:54.160 One of the other areas where you've gone extremely practical is cooling 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:56.400 with the Noctua NHU12A. 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 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 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.000 voiceovers in here. It's not the best room for that, but it's been working. 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:14.319 Okay. You guys might not know this, but Riley actually does some voice acting work. 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:18.400 He's been on My Little Pony just a little bit. Of course, one of the 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:24.560 biggest minimalism choices for our system is the case, the Corsair 275R 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.639 Carbide series. So, why don't I get started on getting everything mounted to 00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:31.039 the motherboard and then do you want to start putting the uh TV mount on the 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:37.919 wall? I will do this. Honestly, one of the big trends in gaming motherboards over the 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:42.240 last few years has been away from necessarily using the highestend 00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:47.120 chipsets because from a gaming standpoint, unless you're overclocking, 00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:51.680 the motherboard doesn't really make a big difference to performance. Now, one 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:57.120 area where Riley will not be able to maximize his 10600 K is in terms of 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:02.960 memory frequency, but Riley's only gone with 2666 MHz RAM anyway from GSkill. 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 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.960 these, though. CL15. You know, Riley, I'm surprised you went with red memory. 00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:13.599 Is that an accent piece? Kind of like the orange chair David's sitting on. 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.680 Yeah, exactly. Is it? No, that was an accident. I'm not going 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 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:23.599 really think lots about the aesthetics of the inside. Got it. 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 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 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:37.199 going to give you great speed for your operating system and everything, but 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 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 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 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 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:58.879 is a Kanto PDX 650. And they were nice 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:04.080 enough to send it to us. And it's really strong. And you might notice 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 00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:11.360 it's behind the TV. I put this on upside down. In my in my 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 00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:19.360 going to be huge upgrade. So rather than going with a big giant home theater 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:24.479 setup with multiple speakers, also because that's not minimalist, went with 00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:26.319 a Sonos Beam because it's basically a 00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:30.879 pretty good bang for your buck while still looking really nice and well, I 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:37.690 hope it will and uh with the whole setup. So here we go. 00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:50.560 This was actually a steal because I got it used. It's an ASUS PG348 00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:54.240 Q, but the Q isn't on there. 3440x440 00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:56.800 Hz, so it's not like the ballingest 00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:01.920 gaming monitor. But the thing is that I mostly play single player games, and 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:06.560 occasionally I might jump on a multiplayer game in order for David to 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 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 00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:20.560 room. And we got vasa mounts. Because my 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:22.399 desk is so tiny, I really don't want to 00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:26.399 screw around with taking up space with the with the stand for this monitor, 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:31.440 which is especially large. I'm discovering that this mount maybe is not 00:09:28.959 --> 00:09:35.360 great for this monitor. Mostly because of this little ridge here. 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 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:44.640 mounts for one monitor. It's not. But originally, I purchased 00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:46.959 this one uh that says it only supports 00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:50.160 up to 32 inch TVs. Oh, 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:53.040 the weight limit is fine, though. Oh, come on. Look at this thing. 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:57.600 What? It's fine. It's metal. Well, sure, but it's got 30 lb carrying 00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:01.760 capacity. Look at it. And the monitor's 25. 00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:07.600 Exactly. What do you mean? The monitor's less than 30 lb. 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 00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:15.760 leeway. There's a buffer built into it. This You don't think that could carry 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.920 buffers? You know, of course. Oh, wow. I didn't know that about this. 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.240 Riley. Riley, are you planning to carry the 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.320 drives over now? Like, should I rip that computer out and put all the drives in 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 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:36.800 concerns about thermals? Yes. Well, there's vents. 00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:39.120 Oh, boy. That's not enough. Wow, that's 00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:43.680 a lot of SSDs. just kind of like a double-sided taped onto the thing. So, 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.640 this case is kind of an amalgamation. The original case, which is a bit 00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:51.519 Phoenix Merc, which is like one of the cheapest cases you could get back in the 00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:53.120 day, and uh some cannibalized parts from 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:58.160 other random cases that were sitting around at NCX. That dust filter on the 00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:01.120 side, cannibalized. When if you take off the front, you'll also find another 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:04.480 cannibalized dust filter that has no business being in there. Wow. Wonderful. 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 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 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 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:20.240 glasses. It's camouflage. That's not what it is. Disguise. What? Riley's off 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:25.279 looking for a square. But we're just going to use his side panel. Corsair 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:29.200 quality. It's probably square. Oh, look at that. How dead center is that puppy? 00:11:27.839 --> 00:11:32.959 So, what height do you want it at? Oh, uh, carefully. This is a like 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. 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.120 Pretend you're you're gaming or whatever. Yeah. No. 00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:48.640 Huh? Well, where's the intensity? This is like you you got to be gaming. 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.000 Can you G first? Okay. So, don't worry 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. 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:59.360 Uh, higher. Yeah, I think so. Higher. Yeah. Uh, higher. Why don't I hold it 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. 00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:08.240 You're screwing it up. Oh, jeez. That's perfect. 00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:13.920 Okay, there's our Did you just punch my wall? 00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:17.200 What the hell is a pipeline hard drive? Pro pipeline over here. 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:21.440 Pro pipeline. Pro pipeline. Riley, the environment can save itself. Here I 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:25.279 go. About to mutilate my wall. Hopefully, it works. It'll work to mutilate for sure. 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:31.440 At the very least, what we're doing right now is mutilating the wall. 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 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:40.000 works. It's crying now. Now that I've got all 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 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 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, 00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:58.639 realistically, it's better than the cable management you had. So, absolutely, which is none. 00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:01.600 Minimalist. Minimal cable management. 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 00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:10.720 is. The thick boy thick boy cooler. We're going to need it because there's 00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:12.959 no ventilation in Riley's cabinet there. 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. 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 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:26.399 minimalistic approach to cooling. This is a free tech tip for you guys. So, if 00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:28.240 you are building a PC for a buddy and 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:32.959 they're just honestly not worth the effort of proper cable management, you 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:37.920 kind of jam everything down like that. You take this here side panel and you 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:40.079 give it a little like city sit, you know. 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:43.360 Oh. Oh jeez. Then you just kind of bum slide it 00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:47.279 forward like that. Oh my gosh. Are you still mounting that? 00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:52.240 I've never done it before. Oh boy. 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:54.720 I'm doing it, David. I mean, Lionus, I'm 00:13:52.240 --> 00:14:00.240 ready. What do you guys think? Peel time. 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:06.480 Yeah. Look at that rig. Did you check the height of this? 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:09.120 Uh, no. But we can move the shelves. 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:12.399 Wow. How white is that? Is this on here? It 00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:17.839 is. All right. Good luck. 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 00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:25.360 catch the drywall? See, here's a here's a piece of handyman 00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:30.079 tip for you, Lionus. Drywall screws up regular vacuums. You need a shop vac. 00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:33.839 I did not know that. I know something about this stuff. 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:37.440 Did your father-in-law tell you that? Yes. And we experienced it oursel 00:14:35.760 --> 00:14:41.519 because we ruined our vacuum filter with drywall. 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:44.320 Hey. Okay, let's settle down. So, this is it. 00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:53.199 Let's do it. This is it. So, why did you choose this TV? 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:54.720 Well, okay. So, this is the LG Nano90 00:14:53.199 --> 00:15:00.800 uh 65 in version. Yeah, it's not an OLED, but it has a 00:14:58.079 --> 00:15:03.040 great uh bright room performance, right? 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 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 00:15:09.920 --> 00:15:14.160 this really bright room with lots of sunlight coming in. Good reflection 00:15:13.199 --> 00:15:18.560 handling and viewing angles. HDR. 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? 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 00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:29.360 horrible people that leaves the plastic on, are you? Cuz now I have removed some 00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:34.399 of it. Oh, I was going to Is that minimalistic? I was going to 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.720 pres use it to preserve it for future generations. 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.760 Yeah. Okay, good. Do you want to put the hole in the wall now? Nope. 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:45.920 Do you trust me? Here's my pitch. Let's not. 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.160 This looks awesome. I know. Thank you so much. This is 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 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:56.480 You're not going to see any of the It's like it's floating there. 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 00:15:57.920 --> 00:16:02.480 foot table? It's for you. It is. No. No. for you. 00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:06.160 Sure. Yeah. Yeah, why not? No. Well, I don't know. Surely this is 00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:08.320 not the right place for these, though. These have to go like these are table 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. 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:17.759 Apparently, it's art, Lionus. Should they be evenly stacked or should 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:20.320 they be like intentionally unevenly stacked? Like, 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 00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:27.519 aesthetics here. This is cool. And then maybe like maybe one. 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 00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:36.800 like the magic remote? It's really nice, actually. I feel like 00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:42.160 I'm using a Wii. It's great. Does this have built-in bowling or 00:16:39.040 --> 00:16:43.360 No. Your internet is so bad. This is at 00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:48.959 like 480. Guys, you don't understand. This looks great to me. 00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:54.160 You know what? For how bright this room is, it is handling the glare really 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 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 00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:06.079 great. You want to hear the sound? Oh, yeah. How's the soundar? 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:11.079 Honestly, my expectations are pretty low given how small it is. But 00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:16.160 uh yeah, that is not good. But I also think that 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:22.079 that sounds great. No, it doesn't. That's the TV speakers. Oh, 00:17:19.439 --> 00:17:28.919 could you shill less hard, please? which he promptly acted upon. 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.919 That sounds pretty good. 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:33.919 Man, okay.

That's that pink suit really pops in the minimalistic 00:17:51.760 --> 00:17:56.640 room. Oh, yeah. More pink suits. 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.760 All right.

No, you ran into him. 00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:42.400 No, I don't think uh I'm pretty sure you did. 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. 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:53.039 So, you tend to take a more passive approach. I like uh 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.039 Oh, how's the gaming experience? 00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:02.640 Oh, man. Is that enough FPS for buttery smooth? 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:06.080 Yeah. Nice.

I might get back into 00:19:09.919 --> 00:19:15.760 Rocket League now. You know what's funny is I actually had a gaming setup like 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 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.760 so that I could close the closet. 00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:30.799 I screwed it up. I actually really like your machine. 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:32.240 It's like high performance enough. 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. 00:19:35.760 --> 00:19:42.080 Got the Core i5, got the RTX 2080 Super. 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:45.679 You got a ton of storage now. 00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:49.919 Oh, someone's blowed up right now. 00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:51.200 Oh, your teammate. Come on. 00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:54.720 Come on. Oh my gosh. 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 00:19:57.919 --> 00:20:04.000 on. No. No. After all that, 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:08.720 we had the highest score on the team. The highest score on fine. It's fine. 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:12.480 Both teams. All right. Way to go, Riley. This dude, you know, the problem is your 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. 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:20.559 That's probably the one upgrade left, but but the highest score in the game. Who 00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:24.080 needs a less than 80 ping? No, I think power line is probably a 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 00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:35.600 puzzle installed. The piano. It's the Casio Privia 00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:41.039 PXs1000. So, it's installed on these brackets I 00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:42.799 got on Amazon with the latch release. 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:48.960 Couple cool things about this model. It's the slimmest digital piano in its 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:51.280 class. And it can run on six AA 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:55.960 batteries, so it's not plugged in or anything. Look, it's free floating. 00:20:56.320 --> 00:21:04.360 And it turns on. The reason I got those crazy Amazon folding brackets is so I 00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:04.360 could do this. 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:15.320 Plug in a pedal and you're good to go. 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:30.240 Other than that, this setup is pretty much the bee's knees for a minimalistic, 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:33.360 not just gaming setup, but also movie watching setup. you really made the most 00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:37.919 out of your budget and made the most out of Intel's sponsorship. Massive thanks 00:21:35.919 --> 00:21:41.919 to Intel for sponsoring not just this video, but this series. Guys, check out 00:21:40.080 --> 00:21:45.919 their 10enth gen processors for your gaming rig at the link down in the video 00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:49.919 description. And not just processors, SSDs, networking chipsets, all that good 00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:52.960 stuff, we're going to have it linked down below. If you guys enjoyed this 00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:57.919 video and you're looking for another one to watch, we actually just completed 00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:02.960 Anony's Intel Extreme Tech upgrade just one month ago, and he took a very 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:09.480 different approach to Riley for sure. His is more of like a VR ccentric 00:22:05.520 --> 00:22:09.480 upgrade, right? Wireless.
