we lost the vision a little bit yes i don't think this should be here really
this probably shouldn't be here the majority of this shouldn't be here these
people are probably okay because they're carrying candy yeah but we should like build this out of candy
yes we totally lost the vision that's i'm gonna throw a lot of that on me
okay but like let's tear a bunch down and rebuild it
with candy with candy done so we can use the white uh things as like candy
boulders as candy boulders we can glue them together we can make the trees like
we're originally planting we can build this largely out of kitkat and some other things i think that tree
could have leaves of this yeah like so we can use some of the stuff as
platforms to put more candy but nothing can exist without candy i do still want
to leave this okay but then it needs to candy everywhere it needs to be central
candy park yeah yeah yeah i know i know and then like but we can like make a
bench out of kitkat like this shouldn't be
here because that should be two little broken pieces of kitkat and one long
actual piece of kitkat got it you know what i mean yeah candy construction land
needs to totally happen over here that's gonna look pretty sharp we should like
ship this to Noctua when we're done i know right
here someone finally made a computer that makes sense with your color scheme
i think i left the screws for the keyboard in the keyboard box
hey the screws to the keyboard or inside the keyboard good job previous me
my hope is just that the judges appreciate attention to detail rather
than gimmicky light shows
they probably won't luke not helping
tech showdown is brought to you by synergy 2 in partnership with g-skill be
quiet and cable mod synergy 2 makes sharing your mouse and
keyboard between multiple computers so simple that anyone can use it learn more
at the link below how does my butt look in these jeans we
can roll we're rolling we're good
okay so all right where were we so we need to jump on desk lighting
lighting get the pump mounted so it works with the front res
and we need to paint the keycaps
let's take a look here we got a fan cable there but
come in the box i guess i could look
oh boy
another leg on there yeah yeah throw it on there okay
so originally i was gonna tie these two lights on top with the light strip in
between but the way bob put the other three lights in we didn't need to do
that but left us with this tail leg on
our lighting kit and so i've just got an RGB strip and
this will fit right in here and just help illuminate all that and
once the lights are down just a little bit all the white will catch all the light
and look really awesome i hung out with some canadians at the bar once and they
tested me to make sure i was worthy they
only had a couple questions they want to know if i'd watch hockey
and if i drank beer and do i like to fight and i said yes to
all three and they said you're in just kind of have to
pull forward i think the highlights on our case are going to be obviously color
you've got bright colors uh white and pink it's really clean you look at it
and we've done just a little bit of modification
and so you can still see where it looks like the the stock chassis but by adding
a reservoir in the front on the outside i think it's
probably one of the biggest okay i need if i'll i'll push in on it
let me push forward when you slide here we go
tada ted says our system looks incomplete
like we don't have enough time the whole thing our whole thing is a
disaster i think we both kind of look like we don't have enough time to be
honest i think we're pretty close i think we
should have no tools down tonight
yeah keep on working just keep on working
i've got nothing else to do yeah we're not going anywhere
if you guys are down i think that might be better for everyone
i mean there's always yeah we want we want two systems that are done
for sure yeah we got judges coming tomorrow so
even if you guys got to be done
off camera last night we did finish up the cabling for the back of our case
and i gave in
and we did the be and then i also sponge painted some of the mistakes so
i think it looks pretty clean uh so we're ready to put that finishing
touch on the back so plan for today then you're on
diorama town
and then i'm on cotton balling the bottom so i have
actually a blue sky panel thing that i
put in my car last night um honestly
i don't think it's going to work that well it's got like a corrugated brown
backing so what we're thinking now
is we just create
cloud that our city is floating on and then we've got like a letter to the
judges that we can write so we're going to leave that
with our setup and hopefully they'll understand that this is a city floating
in the clouds made of candy
awesome that looks great that looks really good actually that's
really sharp damn all right
okay okay what if we use these little cone
things and we reduce some of the action that's going on up here
uh yeah you want to use the cones yeah so as like caution this is where
the cable is going like instead of hide it like point it
out to make it kind of cool sure you know what i'm i'm down i'm into that
that was okay
okay that's gonna say central park
and i'm hoping one of the judges is going to appreciate it enough
for it to be worth something this time i'm spending on it so i
decided to go with like something that would look like it could be a letter so
it's like a weird slightly cursive p which i think will be pretty good
because i want it to look appealing
i think we're gonna lose but i think we did a pretty good job so i'm okay with
it we've done worse
okay how's it look from the particulates it's still good you'll see it yeah i
don't think you're going darker though start getting a little red
knock it up just a bit yeah we can bring it up just add a little more red
oh perfect
it's about the whole package okay what size
i mean i don't know about too many hearts because i know i wanted a girly
thing it's a candy thing that's where i was like using some of
the white ones too
brown over spray
oh look at him oh my god he's getting out the paint he's got the brush
two minutes left watch your head oh yeah
i think we're done
i think we're gonna sit here stand here yeah we're gonna eat candy
hold on we should just eat some candy i feel like sometimes what you see on
camera personalities and what they're like sometimes when they're sort of in
that reality setting and they're filming and you are under time constraints you
never know what's going to happen i'm expecting to see
some bomb ass computers and if i don't i'll be very disappointed there should
be at least one with fireworks coming
off of it and if there's not i don't know what i'm doing here
bob and rod i know rod does some pretty cool stuff with machining so i feel like
theirs might look more uh sorry Linus but i think it might look more
professional i think it might look more like they uh they used some real tools to put
it together so one of the things that i'm going to be interested to see is what do they do with the keyboards
because obviously it has to be functional and if you're putting candy
on a keyboard some things can really go wrong so
i don't know that's going to be pretty cool to see what they do from rod and bob i i expect
to see something a little more you know it's exciting but it's not
gonna like blow your face up with its ridiculousness you know it's gonna be
like oh refined and i don't i don't mean that to say
anything rude about Linus and luke i just feel like you know
they're they go balls to the wall
that's inappropriate i think i'm more interested in
will this system survive in a real user environment or does it
just fall apart the day after it gets deployed
synergy 2 is designed to be easier and more seamless to use than synergy one
features include sharing from anywhere with automatic control of any other
computer without reconfiguring ssl encryption to protect your keystrokes
from attackers dynamic networking so it
detects the best route based on your setup and being able to always run in
the background on all your operating systems so you can set and forget and it
even works across vpn's and tricky home networks if you get the pro version you
can get access to other cool features too like clipboard sharing dragging and
dropping files copy pasting lock screen synchronization and lots more go
well well well
this is ridiculous this is way better than i expected yeah
what there's actually like presentation
candy station do you think they might have had a little extra time
yeah what i couldn't have made that in four days this is far too much effort
for luke and Linus i'm just gonna say right now
i mean a table that's been painted and look at this i mean they
really went all out there's even rocky wait there's candy
inside of the machine i'm not really
seeing the flaws i was expecting to see
like the the candy tray they just put candy in it you can't see all the build
up oh you were coming in here being like i
mean that's what i do they're not going to be able to pc as good as i could it's
pretty impressive i think when i was thinking of like a candy theme i mean i
was actually picturing candy just taped and glued onto things
so my expectations were way different than what we're seeing here it's it's
the overall presentation but like you know are we supposed to give them extra
points because they just got some candy and jars here
yeah oh it's on fire we put labels on the jars we picked the
candy out oh we even sorted some candy oh you labeled a jar wow do you want a
job organizing my warehouse maybe i think so because function and usability
is on the list so if i'm sitting here this is gonna save me so much time from
going to the kitchen i can just eat my candy here and i don't have to do anything else that's very true but
seeing pink cable ties back here going the extra effort
that's that's another level leds
this is you know it's a little rough around the edge oh
wow seriously oh my god i can't believe she
knows they are like nitpicking
oh yeah yeah a little bit very disappointed
very disappointed it's not even that bad but i'm just looking for things at this
point okay let's take a look let's see the mouse
does it work yes is this a real fly or is this part
of the setup
well you never know maybe they were like you know flies hang around food sometimes i will say
if there's a key that i'm looking for and i don't know where it is i'm screwed
ah yes there's a what they painted over all the
keys so you can't see the letters oh yeah that keyboard isn't
you can't tell what key is which no you can't that's a point off for functional
functionality functionality floating what is this font
i can't give you extra points if i can't read it that's like the most basic
script font that you can find in a word processor it's like i think it's
actually called script life is simple sorry do you want to go
forward i think you should read it you've got your voice
life is simple in this floating paradise i'm on the clouds the blue collar candy
folk are hard at work in the factory making the most delicious candy treats
for the citizens while the
candy town express makes its way through candy town central
park central park central park didn't you
just have a video with that in it i thought that
that's okay why is this blowing your mind i have
like sort of an inside joke it's hard to describe it's like it's like a general
positive sentiment if you're like hey let's you want to hang out tomorrow
central pack you know or like no or like what do you think of
this thing i just did ah central back it's nonsensical they're appealing to
you yeah you can't let yourself be biased by this i know but clear appeal
i don't know i don't know if i can be objective but anyways continue but our
chocolate themed candy factory makes more than just yummy things to eat it
also makes the fastest most beautiful frames
for the hottest most intense games nicely done
so sit and enjoy a relaxing and refined computing experience with the people of
upper candy town all right
gaming should be intense but it shouldn't be stressful yours
some signatures some signatures not sure what they say
well i think we should take a look at this because i see a lot of things going
on here number one as a sanitary precaution i do like that
this desk definitely kept everything contained whereas we've got kit kats
sitting very close that is a health concern it is oh my
gosh
and also you know i mean sometimes computers do get a little warm depending
upon what you've got going on here taking yours apart now
i'm so is health concern a judging category
chocolate covered everything you can see the letters on the keyboard which is
very important oh my god
i know pointing out the fly no that's got your life this is not fair
this is not fair this is a personal touch
this is i don't know if i can be objective now central pack
central back i don't know that i can be objective why are you the favorite one
oh that's true
you know i don't know i didn't know you had this much control over line of texas i didn't know either
let's make sure that this works okay that works
very important it's functional oh yeah you have to make sure yeah oh man
the train is functional my heart
they did a really good paint job though yeah
is this a paint job i'm assuming that is paint yeah because it's
pretty well done the back of the monitor is fine the front's fine we got to do the same test
oh yeah yeah uh i found a flaw
that's where that thing fell let's talk about it
i found what appears to be either just some uh
some bad touch of paint over here or a fingerprint
which means we may be able to identify the creator
to the lab and then you do a batman
so um okay what is this what's the deal so we got chocolate
yeah because like the other one you know there's kind of like a distinct pink and
pink and white theme but like we got chocolate here and then we got multi-colored keys so what are
these what is this just kind of a general candy thing
i don't know are these custom or is this why why are the media keys just black
out that's a good point looks like it was bought as a set to me did they run out
of fun paint or i mean i don't think this is or did
the set not come with it it's got to be a set
that doesn't count so there's a couple there's one
i don't know if it's a fingerprint there's a splotch right there
and then there's if you get the light right oh yeah there's some there there's
some there well there's one down here there's one right there
steve and i are very disappointed about this yes yes
can't believe it how about does this one have the same flaws oh my god if they
looked at your monitor anywhere near as close as they're looking at mine they
caught the really the only flaw on our monitor which is like
a little mask yeah but you guys got paint on this okay
you guys need to talk less so we can hear the judgments
this is very this is like a a a pretty
nice diorama though you know i can there's definitely two different
feels here like this is like this feels like it could be an actual in someone's
actual room if they were like super into candy and pink
and this feels like and this feels like you know it's like
more of an art piece to display right so central park and
yeah central pack i mean they are both so incredibly different
that it's really it's going to be a difficult decision i think
the fans have been painted as well
offsetting the weight of the fan blades although potentially causing damage down the line
but it looks like they may have missed you oh there's like a thing over here ah
what are they like cleaning up the garbage in the back oh my gosh yes they
are there's like the main diorama over there and then in the back they're
hiding the garbage this is cool you know toxic waste one thing that they did do
is they're very thoughtful and they're thinking of this whole design that's
true oh that's extremely dusty
it's dirty
how long has this been sitting
how would they how would you even put dust on something intentionally i don't
know this isn't i'm impressed i'm impressed with their attention to detail
yeah very impressive very impressive yeah
that pant splashes on the inside this one you know
the uh kind of splotches here the ones on the monitor
whatever's going on on the top up here it's just like a
wannabe grip tape paint i guess oh man he's being harsh i feel like
i feel like this has to be luke and Linus because
bob is a really good painter
and i'm not saying that this isn't a good job but well then why don't you
look at his paint job a little closer stephen okay wait what's going on here
is this a fake reservoir like they have a tube going
here that looks like it's part of the regular loop but oh it's running in the
middle is there a tube going through it the tube's going through it oh is it oh
okay
there's no fluid running through it but it's completely impractical to cool a
CPU with candy so i mean you need more more coolant yeah exactly so i don't i
don't know but but it looks cool it does it does look cool
but we don't even know the thermal conductivity of that candy
going into this one of the judging criteria was the wow factor and for me i
think i might have actually said wow so bonus points for that yeah yeah when she
walked in she said i was like wow like the second i saw you guys you wanted to
buy it i was like you guys won i just and the florida ceiling
oh yeah that says wow yeah yeah when i walked in and saw this this was by far
exceeding any expectations that i had coming into this you know when they said
candy was the theme i mean i pictured taping down candy on things and just
sort of going really overboard with a theme what they did here was really took
that theme and played to that from the colors i mean they even went so far
as going to the craft store and getting these random party supplies and wrapping
it all the way around the desk they even wrapped this around the back that's
definitely something thoughtful this desk
i mean they've got these custom panels here to house some display candy
the only complaint that i have is they also were talking about you know if a
normal person who is not completely tech savvy would come down and sit at this
keyboard they painted over all of the letters and numbers and symbols so that
may kind of hinder some functionality the mouse also custom painted i think we
all have kind of have that same discussion of if you really want to use
the mouse you're probably going to end up pulling it out of
the uh the socket here but you know
so zip tied back how is this famous
but yeah like is she like a low sensitivity gamer the free samples
definitely were a plus i know we've been talking about this
imperfection here uh using the candy to cover up the flaws
but i think that's what we all do so i'm okay with that the case is very well
painted i love that they completely modded this front panel they even went
so far as putting candy inside of the case and i feel like it is placed
strategically so hopefully none of it will melt which is could be a disaster
um i kind of do like the rainbow
led RAM that they have in there too i know we're discussing
maybe it should have all been pink but it does kind of play into the whole
candy theme i also like that their candy is in jars i know that might sound crazy
but the competition has candy all over the table
they made a candy station sign they even have a nice little list of
modifications which i feel like this is one of those things where you walk into a candy store and it's like oh this is
the menu of what we have they this is crazy
i'm super overwhelmed and i also think this might have been suede because if
they knew i was a judge then this is something that i would
definitely be gravitating towards so
a plus so i would say some of the negatives definitely the mouse doesn't
work as it should the keyboard they painted
over all of the letters and numbers so i feel like if any normal person who comes
down here and does not have this entire thing memorized like most of us they may
have a few issues with that there are a few little smudges of paint the free
samples kind of hide imperfections but
i'm not gonna knock that too much and hopefully you didn't want to wirelessly
charge your phone because they did rip out the qi charger for the free samples
which to be completely fair is okay in my book everything else though looks pretty good
i mean i think it was uh kind of a stretch for a lot of us to
really kind of dig in and find some imperfections and the key charger
who cares about the chi charger man why does the t charger matter alright so
over here we've got our chocolate wonderland central pock
clearly a nice little inside joke which
inside jokes are fun when everyone's included but i guess that's not how
inside jokes work i mean they even went so far to make this nice little printed
out note she's after us for the inside joke in
the letter i mean and she went and she put it like on top
of yeah yeah like probably not hold on stuff over here
the number one downfall i would say to this as somebody who is a candy
connoisseur this is not sanitary there's no way you
should be leaving candy out like this i mean there are actual flies i don't know
if you guys can see this but they are landing on the candy and these gumdrops
have dust on them so that is definitely some points that i'm gonna have to take
away as somebody who may want to potentially eat this you shouldn't it is
no longer edible i will say though they did a really great job of the overall
theme when you look at this you definitely can say yes we get it it's a
chocolate theme i mean this entire case is very well painted your hands
this is really well painted
every little bit of it kind of has sort of a chocolatey feel they did a really
great job of painting this monitor that there was a point i would have been
convinced that this was manufactured this way there are a few smudges in the
back here but overall at least the front where it really counts it looks really
really good they did take a little bit more attention to detail in the inside
here they painted some more of the insides as you guys can see here
uh the one thing that i would say is i'm not really sure why they decided to leave all these racks there you probably
could have removed those and if they were gonna leave those in it could have
been something cool to sort of add a little more integration of the candy
theme but when i walked in
i don't feel like this had that wow factor that we were all looking for as
far as functionality goes let's just test this out
so say i'm sitting here for a day of work
all right it's time to edit i'm using my mouse and i start knocking
over candy and i start knocking over these little figures this is not
that functional why is she moving your mouse off the pad
oh yeah small city definitely have to take off some points for that the
keyboard looks great this is not custom painted as far as i can tell
these four buttons here don't match the rest of it but i do like
the keyboard it looks great there's black in the rest of it
i don't know i caught the black house i was like
we thought about it we thought about we thought about doing them uh what accent
cream yeah yeah start moving stuff around you can see
the paint peel a little bit so there may be some strategy to where
things are placed like for example
this bribery tray uh when you take the candy out there's
some paint peel in here but
that's also kind of a custom tray so they've removed the cheat chargers some
points for that they've got uh
a tray i guess to put stuff in instead there's some paint damage but overall
not so bad and countering that the front panel here
is a custom panel so the feels like just a plastic shroud has
been placed in okay maybe we didn't give steve enough credit
internally the liquid cooling continues you can see it goes through this sort of
fake false reservoir with candy in it it's a nice touch there
there's a black smudge on the paint for the
side panel in the front corner of the case
but overall considering it was a four-day competition
the paint here is looking pretty good it's
it's not peeled really anywhere except for that one spot there's two chips well
one chip where it looks like accidental damage a smudge over here
the rest of it is i mean there's no the monitor doesn't have any smudges on
it unlike the other monitor i think the only thing really to take points off for
would primarily be those chips and smudges that the one or two there are
except for usability so the
cable mods leaving here that's being used to contain all the cables prevents
me from actually using this mouse where i want to which is back here further on
the desk so i think that's my review of this one
moving on to the other one they had a note here that was clearly
not addressed to me so some uh i've got some ethical concerns
with this system already uh so i don't know we might have to disqualify one of
the judges but uh i'm not saying that we should i'm just
saying it's it's an idea to consider
yeah in terms of the system itself so layout
is the table's a lot less impressive they just kind of put like a green
mat on top of it as opposed to the other one which is all
custom painted uh some fuzziness going on the bottom to look
like marshmallows i guess but that's really all there is in terms of the
table layout for the system there are quite a few flaws with this
one so the monitor has a lot of paint smudges fingerprints things like
that on the back side of the monitor internally i think
i don't recall seeing any major paint problems internally but i will point out
that the fans are painted so that's an extra step
the water block is painted which is an extra step i think the other one didn't have
quite as much work done internally i'm told that this case was originally
black so if that's the case then they
i don't remember if these are white on the stock case or not but if they're not
then that was effort too but on the front panel couple more smudges a couple
more fingerprints kind of a grip tape feeling to the pan up here which means
that it's got some white fuzz on the top the cheek charger works though so that's
good there's some paint dust kind of on
the the sound damping foam there's some
paint dust on the dust filter but the fans again are painted behind there so
give and take on each side power supply has been painted a bit
a bit we've got media keys that don't match the rest of the theme
so this this build overall i feel like it's a little more chaotic
but the internal work
completely there was a lot more done on it so like i said give and take on each side
but i think that pretty much wraps up my review of both of these systems i like
that it's called the candy station because it's a station for candy both
literally and figuratively because
pc gaming is a treat overall i really like how this one is
more of a cohesive kind of singular design it kind of looks
like an extreme home makeover when like the
kid says i like pink and white and then they make the whole room pink and white
like as a candy station it works there's accessible candy that's functional in
terms of like there's candy that you can grab and eat also here i'll talk about
that later you have room to use the keyboard and
mouse and not like not be knocking over things as we'll get to what i want to
understand is how all of these people are using their keyboards and mice
do they do they move using my computer now
i don't know it doesn't jump out at me as much as like whoa this is like an
original thing that i've never seen before it looks like a clean pc gaming
station build which is great it's it's not as much there's not much
of a cool factor but maybe again maybe that's just me as a judge you know
justine was saying that it like really jumps out to her so like that's fair
that's fair i'm judging justine in this competition
me too this is sort of a modding competition in
some ways in literally every single possible way yeah
this is this is a completely custom solution here with the reservoir on the
outside i also really like how it kind of looks like cotton candy i don't know if that was
intentional or not but it looks like cotton candy they
captured the essence of it uh up here though in terms of
functionality they took out the qi charger in order to have a receptacle
for candy so that's i mean it's not so much a positive or a negative as it is
a trade-off you're taking away the qi charging you're adding
the candy bucket
this is a bit patronizing like i can't tell what you did just saying what it's
a candy shop they have free cycles i'm just kidding that's great
so over here i'm very conflicted i'm very conflicted
because coming right into this
i have a letter written to me as if from a secret lover giving me
something that i connect with immediately the central pack it's
definitely not as universal of a concept but i i'm conflicted because i know that
it's oh i feel i've got the feels looking at it
i was like oh my gosh this is real but at the same time i know that it's
just for me so i don't know is that sucking up i don't know oh yeah it is
yeah it is yeah absolutely pretty clearly it's definitely sucking up i
feel like it's a little more creative they kind of like used this as a canvas
to paint this picture of the town of candy town what are the inhabitants
thinking in their daily lives
Linus brought this up seriously he did he's like every single person has to
have a purpose if we could ask them what is it like
what is daily life like in candy town is is
pushing your wheelbarrow to work every morning is that hard on you
does the candy melt in the hot sun sometimes
these are the things that we want to know and it makes you think
deep down so i really appreciate that i was very nice to see that they it's like
a 3d experience there's the the the secret toxic waste dump in the back one
thing i will say the other judges mentioned the dust and i will also i'm
confused about how there is dust on this stuff like didn't you just finish this
you wanted to lead in let's do this thing all right so uh for my scoring starting
with the pink and white build pink and white one i thought had the fewest flaws
in the paint but had some functionality concerns
so overall concept and theme i gave it a seven
aesthetics and execution i gave it an eight and functionality i gave it a 5.
and for the brown system here i thought the
the brown was a little off-putting i thought the theme overall was a little
more chaotic but it had some functionality or the other one didn't so
for that one concept and theme 6 out of 10
aesthetics execution 5 out of 10
for paint smudges and other problems with the paint functionality and
usability 8 out of 10. so for me uh the candy station was very
overall like a clean design i think it worked better as sort of like something
that somebody would design for like a client uh
so for concept and theme i gave it a seven
aesthetics execution and cool factor nine
functional functionality and usability nine because i think it was a little bit
more functional than this one and for this one very conflicted
but i got very warm and fuzzy feelings from the central pack
overall it looked like a more artistic take with uh
more candy and the whole theme with the with the town and everything so that was
very very nice concept and theme i gave them a nine
aesthetics and execution nine functionality functionality and
usability six out of ten so i feel like the candy station
definitely caught my eye not to be a stereotype or anything but it was pretty
awesome so i feel like if i was a client i said hey i like pink and shiny
sparkles and this was exactly what you get but as far as the concept and theme
i thought it was incredible but i just felt like i just wasn't ready to give it
a 10. so i gave it a 9 out of 10 but the aesthetics and cool factor i did give a
10 because as soon as i walked in i was like wow this is awesome
functionality and usability i did give it a 7 because i did struggle a little
bit to use the mouse and you know i was a little bit worried about the candy
inside like if i wanted to actually eat that it would be a little bit of a
struggle so i had to really take that into the consideration also the keyboard
too i felt like you guys i was like what if i need to find a letter that i'm not
sure of that's on there because you guys painted over it but overall i thought it
was really fun and then we're over here to uh Linus and the chocolate factory um
this was really it was pretty fun because chocolate is one of my favorite
uh you know candy choices but the one thing that i didn't like is because i do
love candy a lot the candy started getting a little dusty
because it was being left out so that was a little bit of a struggle we also
did notice some little paint smudges and stuff on the back but overall it was a
very chaotic theme but it was very fun so so for concept and theme i gave it a
nine out of ten because it was very fun aesthetics and execution and cool factor
it was a six and then functionality
seven because i felt like the mouse was too close to candy and there's candy
that could be potentially melted places so
that's my final offer this is what i didn't want to see on
their faces you all did a very good job yes they
were all great they were all wonderful this just one was more wonderful than
the other
i mean you can put the knife in but
just just read it they told me
put him down quickly is this close is this close is this
close enough feeling really uncomfortable right now all right so LTT
final score 21.6
vs mods final score 24.4
all right well good job oh yeah congratulations gentlemen good
job good fight good work partner good job
and uh a huge shout out to synergy
whose awesome shirt i totally destroyed with
brown paint throughout this whole ordeal we're gonna have a demo in a second
showing you how synergy works but basically it lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
even if they run Windows uh macOS or
Linux operating systems pretty freaking cool and huge thank you to our guest
judges uh riley from ncix tech tips we've got stephen from gamersnexus and
justine from well i justine but i'm not
justine she's justine you guys get the point you can check out all of them at
the links in the video description so it didn't go the way we wanted but uh
sometimes that's how the chocolate melts
or i don't know whatever uh no wait no that's that's ours
okay well here you go second place i guess i'll read this to
you candy is sweet but not as sweet as victory and now you have both
congratulations you guys all right pose for your stupid picture what does ours
say uh you aimed for sugar but ended with
salt in a room full of candy you're the only thing bitter
wow that's not very nice to be fair it's
true though we're pretty bitter all right all right
thank you bye so here's how it works once you've got
synergy set up all you do is sit down at your computer see there's my mouse
moving around oh what's this i've got Linus's macbook over here on the left so
i just move the cursor over there and boom i type in some
awesomewebsite.com and i'm using the computer as though
this is connected to it but it's not and
i've got something really exciting for you guys synergy 2 is coming it's got
all the same features as the original synergy so copy pasting between the
computers dragging and dropping files between the computers the ability to use
it on Windows mac and even Linux and
some new stuff they've got a super simple redesigned setup so literally
anyone can use it no typing in ip addresses rigmarole
they've got bi-directional control coming so that they can automate the
client and server technology so you can control either machine with either
keyboard and mouse which is pretty freaking sick and
this is actually my favorite stuff they've got the ability to run it as a
service in the background so it always is running even when you restart
and location awareness so you could have synergy set up at work and at home and
all you do is plunk down your laptop uh next to your home machine pick it up
take it to work plunk it down next to your work machine and boom you are sharing your keyboard and mouse
automatically whoa so that's going to be coming sometime in
november check it out at the link below
