1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480
so Luke and I recently hosted mod 24 a

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,120
24hour like live PC modding yeah

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,240
building Extravaganza yeah spectacular Event Event yeah that's what

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:21,160
it was and we actually had a number of you reach out asking us to do some kind

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,880
of a recap of the event now we don't have all the footage from it so

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,359
uploading the 24-hour archive isn't really an option no but what we do have

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,960
is some footage of the finished systems so we were thinking we'd do a quick

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:40,879
overview of the third second and first place systems and kind of talk about the

9
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:43,160
event as a whole yeah or as an event cuz

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:48,559
it wasn't a hole Yeah like not a literal

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:04,280
hole Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature precision Cham XX RGB key

12
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:06,360
switches for 16.8 million color per key

00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:11,759
backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more

14
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,560
mod 24 for me was at least at the start co-hosting with lonus and then by the

15
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,200
time we were most of the way through it turned into like just clearing the way

16
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:24,560
for Linus's zombie walk to be able to be successful so I had to just make sure

17
00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:28,320
that I could manage where cameras were going to be so that by by the time he

18
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,280
got somewhere he could just continuously talk and it would be fine that he could

19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,439
go and pass out for short little like 20 minute Windows regain a tiny amount of

20
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:41,960
energy and then keep going well I think it would have been easier if cuz I

21
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,040
thought the original concept was we were going to kind of be sitting in chairs

22
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:50,520
and then we'd be looking at footage yes coming from elsewhere commentating on it

23
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,960
that's what I thought it was too but instead we ended up running all over the

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,280
place you know coordinating a lot of it I mean the team there was great oh yeah

25
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:05,600
they were awesome but we were kind of going okay uh I think they're doing this out in the

26
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,759
in the atrium so you camera guy come

27
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,119
with me let's go luk you do this and

28
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,400
talk here and then we'll we'll talk about the security thing and figure out when we're going to flip cameras and

29
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,920
something will happen and it'll work and when we were really organized Luke and I

30
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,760
would go to two different places and then we would we would tag

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,160
team off and we'd throw the camera to each other and that only happened a

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,000
couple times yeah not not not way too much I think the coolest thing about it

33
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:36,280
was being there with all these people whose builds I've seen on the internet

34
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:40,560
and uh to actually seeing them work in person even if you know the quality of

35
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,519
what they could do in 24 hours it's obviously not going to be the same as

36
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,920
what they could do in months which is what a lot of them are doing outside of

37
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:52,840
this event yeah so I guess we'll start with Team kill ninja this is Rich suras

38
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,400
and Travis Jen um Rich probably better

39
00:02:52,840 --> 00:03:00,080
known by his Alias Darth beas definitely yeah lots of famous builds for him I had

40
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:04,239
really high expectations for these guys but I really wasn't sure about their

41
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:08,519
choice of an open airflow test bench style case I think that came because

42
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,799
they had very very recently done a build in that exact same test bench with a

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,920
very similar style like two external reservoirs the same radiator placement

44
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,440
all that kind of stuff um so if they were coming into a 24-hour build being

45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,200
able to build on a platform that they knew probably helped quite a bit but

46
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,000
then they did throw in a bit of a monkey wrench in terms of things that they know

47
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,680
um and my understanding is that that laser cutting machine that they were

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,280
using to make their deal they had only had for about a week about a week yeah

49
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,560
yeah they had not had it for very long at all they were while we were there

50
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,640
they were learning how to work with different types of acrylics in terms of

51
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,879
different colors and different densities and everything and like how something

52
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,480
would react if it was reflective you'll notice a lot of the deal on the side of the case are actually kind of a

53
00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:55,879
reflective metal look yeah instead of like a clear blue and I think it worked

54
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:01,720
really well for some of them I think you and I both agree that the Titan the main

55
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Titan the center

56
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,319
and theot pretty well but I think some

57
00:04:05,799 --> 00:04:10,799
of them either didn't come out as clearly I think the ships are a good

58
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:14,480
example of this and then some of them it was more of a placement issue the guns

59
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:18,400
under the reservoirs are kind of hard to see and the middle of both of them is

60
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:23,440
basically entirely chopped off from most angles because of that Reservoir so it

61
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:25,400
just kind of looks odd and I mean I

62
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,840
think that if they'd had more time if they hadn't had to spend so much time

63
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,800
working on the deal themselves they could have come up with a more polished

64
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,120
build I mean the thing that really hurt them was they had planned a bunch of

65
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,479
lighting effects for the main Titan the centerpiece That was supposed to tie in

66
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:47,919
the you know favorite gaming experiences theme and then they never actually

67
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:49,880
managed to illuminate him so they they

68
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:53,320
had tried but I don't think they had kind of enough time and this was also

69
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,080
kind of a newer thing for them just like the laser cutter they hadn't done it a

70
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:00,600
ton in the past and speaking of time they also had the problem with their

71
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,919
coolant coloring yeah this was right near the

72
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:11,039
end right as everything was winding down and Darth beas tried to mix colors

73
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,440
together to make a cool looking orange which probably actually would have

74
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:20,479
played together with the build a lot better but didn't have enough time to squirt anything in other than pink right

75
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:25,639
so it made his previously white which looked kind of fine coolant turn to this

76
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:29,720
crazy vibrant pink which while some people liked it was pretty polarizing

77
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,039
and didn't work super great with the judges well I think that whoever gets

78
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,520
this system when they've had more time to polish it and finish it up before

79
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,960
sending it out is going to end up with something that's a pretty different looking experience than what they were

80
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:44,680
able to do in 24 hours definitely I think that's going to be a fairly common

81
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,919
theme for all the builds but this one especially mainly due to the color of

82
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:53,880
the coolant and possibly uh the illumination of the Titan team mongus

83
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:59,639
made up of Lee Harrington and Ron Ley Christensen had a kind of a I'd say they

84
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:03,639
had the simplest overall game plan yeah they were the only ones that took a real

85
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:08,560
case and then they picked a theme that would fall kind of sort of into any of

86
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:14,000
the three that NVIDIA might throw at them at the time of the competition and

87
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:18,960
they had that whiteboard that had their entire plan every half an hour little

88
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,120
half an hour slots and everything so they knew exactly what they had to be

89
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:27,280
done by different parts of the contest and every once a while we' check up with

90
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:31,919
them and they'd say yeah we' we've now uh cut all of our what was that styrene

91
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,560
y we've cut all our styrene so we know we know we're ahead of schedule now or

92
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,400
whatever they always seem like they're ahead of schedule speaking of cutting

93
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,919
styrene I really didn't have much hope for this build at the beginning it

94
00:06:40,039 --> 00:06:46,759
looked like uh lee didn't seem to really have much to do until the liquid cooling

95
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:52,360
started and it seemed like Ron was spending a lot of time cutting out

96
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,680
little white pieces of styrene and it

97
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:58,160
was hard shaving them in different ways and it was hard for me to visualize what

98
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,400
that was going to turn into but once he started painting them end up looking

99
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:08,000
absolutely fantastic he's obviously very skilled with an airbrush and this this

100
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:10,599
case just looks really sharp especially for how much time they had to get it

101
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:15,039
done and there were some some things I didn't expect like the fact that that

102
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:18,960
vibrant top panel ties in so well to the rest yeah the fact that it actually

103
00:07:16,599 --> 00:07:23,000
works with the rest of the build is is kind of interesting especially because

104
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:27,199
he even described the side panels as being muted yeah they were they were it

105
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:31,400
was a muted style and then the top was very in your face which is interesting

106
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:36,039
and other than a couple stencils for words here and there one of which got

107
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:40,120
wanged during the during the build process but it ended up kind of working

108
00:07:38,039 --> 00:07:44,240
he basically freehanded the whole thing which is actually very impressive uh

109
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,520
something interesting talking about freehanding they had to move the

110
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:51,199
reservoir because NVIDIA kind of changed the game on them with how many graphics

111
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,840
cards they're going to have so they had to move the reservoir into where I

112
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,000
believe the hard drive cages would originally go Y and that ended up

113
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,120
screwing a whole bunch of stuff up like they had to custom cut the power supply

114
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,240
cover that comes in that in case and I think that is what ultimately cost them

115
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,520
the competition because theirs was the one that should have been done like they

116
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:14,280
could have installed Windows on it by the end of the competition but making

117
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:18,919
those last minute alterations ended up causing them to not even be able to post

118
00:08:16,599 --> 00:08:22,639
their system at the very end of the competition which to my understanding

119
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,240
was actually the tiebreaker I think that's actually where their extensive

120
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:29,960
planning ended up hurting them because they planned so much that they didn't

121
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:33,919
plan for anything not going according to plan so when something Mi mixed up their

122
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:37,200
plan they didn't have any time allotment left for it and it kind of threw them

123
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:41,000
over honestly I think losing points for not posting might not have been entirely

124
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:45,080
Fair because looking at the other systems particularly the winter and how

125
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:50,320
functional those actually are in spite of whether they did or didn't

126
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,600
post they all had postcode errors so you can say whatever you want

127
00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:00,360
about that which leads us to the project that turned out to be the eventual

128
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:04,279
winner the team BS mods

129
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,760
ancient IBM server machine that Bob

130
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:14,279
Stewart and Rod Rosenberg chose to tackle I think they had by far the most

131
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:16,440
ambitious project in terms of leaving no

132
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:20,959
time to spare taking something that they could have worked frantically at for 48

133
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,560
hours and trying to do it in 24 well we would see we would see the other teams

134
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:29,720
go for smoke breaks or like stop for lunch breathe just generally like

135
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,120
necessity kind of things and these would completely ignore it anytime that we

136
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:36,600
were wondering where they were at for interviews just oh okay go to the

137
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:41,240
Courtyard they'll be there working on their case they'll be sanding something

138
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:46,519
yeah yeah for the first 20 hours they will be sanding something yeah uh they

139
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,200
had to completely build whole they had to completely fabricate entire new parts

140
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,200
of their case including a whole new back uh they they had to add in they didn't

141
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,920
fabricate this but they had to add in an entirely new motherboard tray they had

142
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,720
to cover up a whole bunch of venting on the inside of the case with they weren't

143
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:05,440
going to make it me neither I flat out thought they were not going to have a

144
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:10,240
finished system by the end of the project wouldn't have though right that

145
00:10:07,959 --> 00:10:14,680
brings in the 30 minute extension we were chosen to cap off the stream

146
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:19,040
because mod 24 was freaking awesome so they decided to let us kind of finish it

147
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,399
off um and that gave all the teams an extra 30 minutes which was fine because

148
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,440
they didn't actually have 24 hours anyways so we allowed them to have a

149
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,560
little bit more and get close to the 24-hour cap but with all that 30 minutes

150
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,000
I do not think they would would have finished and you know what I think that

151
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:38,200
even if the judges had had a little bit more time to look at the systems or if

152
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:43,680
the judges had been a bit more technical it might have gone to team Mongoose

153
00:10:39,959 --> 00:10:46,160
because frankly it wasn't really done

154
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:51,279
the stencil behind the door was not that great I mean I even heard them calling

155
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,079
it a quote unquote 30-footer when they

156
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:58,440
were working on the paint job because they saw how little time they had left

157
00:10:55,680 --> 00:11:02,959
after the fabrication and metal working that was involved in getting the case to

158
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:06,399
even house the hardware that they had yep their fans weren't plugged in I

159
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:10,760
believe that radiator is just glued to the back panel well they cut holes for

160
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:17,200
the radiator there's a triple radiator hole series cut but the the tubing

161
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:21,200
doesn't reach and they had not planned to do custom water cooling because they

162
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:23,399
knew coming into the competition that they would have no time for that and

163
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:30,040
they'd be spending all their time building the case yeah so while I don't

164
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:33,639
necessarily know if the eventual

165
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:36,079
winning spot was entirely deserved

166
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:40,399
especially because they mostly went with an NVIDIA theme not a gaming theme not

167
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,600
your favorite moment in gaming it was very specifically your favorite moment

168
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:48,600
in gaming which I guess none of them does

169
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,160
kind of tie into to Phil and I don't think the others really did it any

170
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,000
better than Yes actually that's a good point because Phil attaches to them through PDX land that's right and you

171
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,839
could definitely say that their favorite moment in gaming was attached to PDX

172
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:05,320
land but their system ALS Al just plain old wasn't finished I mean the front

173
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,360
fans were just not plugged in yeah even

174
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:11,279
though they did manage to post which ended up being what pushed them over the

175
00:12:09,079 --> 00:12:14,760
edge although we did find that the two systems that quote unquote posted were

176
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,600
hitting postcode errors and the same postcode era that actually team mongus

177
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:24,120
was posting on but for some reason wasn't getting a display output yes so

178
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:28,160
overall though with all of that said I was cheering for team BS mods I told

179
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:31,560
them that I told you that I thought their project their concept was the

180
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:36,959
coolest I think they actually probably had the most amount of people cheering for them including myself as well um

181
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,600
because it was so ambitious I loved what they were doing and the fact that they

182
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:46,240
pulled it off to the extent that they did is amazing I just wouldn't want to

183
00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:47,920
be them cleaning that system up for the

184
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,360
eventual Prize winner because I mean those panels don't even go back on no it

185
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:56,360
it's going to take them an incredibly long uh amount of time to finish this

186
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:59,760
build outside of the event um and much more time than any of the other two

187
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,839
builds especially team Mong but it sure was a cool concept

188
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:09,000
definitely and whoever wins it is going to be super stoked all right so guys

189
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,800
