WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.480
so Luke and I recently hosted mod 24 a

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:11.120
24hour like live PC modding yeah

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:16.240
building Extravaganza yeah spectacular Event Event yeah that's what

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

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

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.359
uploading the 24-hour archive isn't really an option no but what we do have

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.960
is some footage of the finished systems so we were thinking we'd do a quick

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:40.879
overview of the third second and first place systems and kind of talk about the

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:43.160
event as a whole yeah or as an event cuz

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:48.559
it wasn't a hole Yeah like not a literal

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:04.280
hole Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature precision Cham XX RGB key

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:06.360

backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more

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

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.200
time we were most of the way through it turned into like just clearing the way

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

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

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:33.280
got somewhere he could just continuously talk and it would be fine that he could

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:38.439
go and pass out for short little like 20 minute Windows regain a tiny amount of

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.960
energy and then keep going well I think it would have been easier if cuz I

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:46.040
thought the original concept was we were going to kind of be sitting in chairs

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:50.520
and then we'd be looking at footage yes coming from elsewhere commentating on it

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

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

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

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:08.759
in the atrium so you camera guy come

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:10.119
with me let's go luk you do this and

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

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.920
something will happen and it'll work and when we were really organized Luke and I

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.760
would go to two different places and then we would we would tag

00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:25.160
team off and we'd throw the camera to each other and that only happened a

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.000
couple times yeah not not not way too much I think the coolest thing about it

00:02:27.519 --> 00:02:36.280
was being there with all these people whose builds I've seen on the internet

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:40.560
and uh to actually seeing them work in person even if you know the quality of

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

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

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

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.400
and Travis Jen um Rich probably better

00:02:52.840 --> 00:03:00.080
known by his Alias Darth beas definitely yeah lots of famous builds for him I had

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:04.239
really high expectations for these guys but I really wasn't sure about their

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:08.519
choice of an open airflow test bench style case I think that came because

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.799
they had very very recently done a build in that exact same test bench with a

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.920
very similar style like two external reservoirs the same radiator placement

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

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:25.200
able to build on a platform that they knew probably helped quite a bit but

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

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.680
um and my understanding is that that laser cutting machine that they were

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

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

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.640
they were learning how to work with different types of acrylics in terms of

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:47.879
different colors and different densities and everything and like how something

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

00:03:50.519 --> 00:03:55.879
reflective metal look yeah instead of like a clear blue and I think it worked

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

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.720
Titan the center

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:07.319
and theot pretty well but I think some

00:04:05.799 --> 00:04:10.799
of them either didn't come out as clearly I think the ships are a good

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

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

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.440
basically entirely chopped off from most angles because of that Reservoir so it

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:25.400
just kind of looks odd and I mean I

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

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.800
working on the deal themselves they could have come up with a more polished

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:37.120
build I mean the thing that really hurt them was they had planned a bunch of

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.479
lighting effects for the main Titan the centerpiece That was supposed to tie in

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:47.919
the you know favorite gaming experiences theme and then they never actually

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.880
managed to illuminate him so they they

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

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

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:00.600
ton in the past and speaking of time they also had the problem with their

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.919
coolant coloring yeah this was right near the

00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:11.039
end right as everything was winding down and Darth beas tried to mix colors

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.440
together to make a cool looking orange which probably actually would have

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

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:25.639
so it made his previously white which looked kind of fine coolant turn to this

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:29.720
crazy vibrant pink which while some people liked it was pretty polarizing

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:34.039
and didn't work super great with the judges well I think that whoever gets

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:37.520
this system when they've had more time to polish it and finish it up before

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

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

00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:48.919
theme for all the builds but this one especially mainly due to the color of

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.880
the coolant and possibly uh the illumination of the Titan team mongus

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

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:03.639
had the simplest overall game plan yeah they were the only ones that took a real

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

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:14.000
the three that NVIDIA might throw at them at the time of the competition and

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:18.960
they had that whiteboard that had their entire plan every half an hour little

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:23.120
half an hour slots and everything so they knew exactly what they had to be

00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:27.280
done by different parts of the contest and every once a while we' check up with

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

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

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.400
whatever they always seem like they're ahead of schedule speaking of cutting

00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:42.919
styrene I really didn't have much hope for this build at the beginning it

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

00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:52.360
started and it seemed like Ron was spending a lot of time cutting out

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.680
little white pieces of styrene and it

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:58.160
was hard shaving them in different ways and it was hard for me to visualize what

00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:02.400
that was going to turn into but once he started painting them end up looking

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:08.000
absolutely fantastic he's obviously very skilled with an airbrush and this this

00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:10.599
case just looks really sharp especially for how much time they had to get it

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:15.039
done and there were some some things I didn't expect like the fact that that

00:07:12.599 --> 00:07:18.960
vibrant top panel ties in so well to the rest yeah the fact that it actually

00:07:16.599 --> 00:07:23.000
works with the rest of the build is is kind of interesting especially because

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:27.199
he even described the side panels as being muted yeah they were they were it

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:31.400
was a muted style and then the top was very in your face which is interesting

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:36.039
and other than a couple stencils for words here and there one of which got

00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:40.120
wanged during the during the build process but it ended up kind of working

00:07:38.039 --> 00:07:44.240
he basically freehanded the whole thing which is actually very impressive uh

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.520
something interesting talking about freehanding they had to move the

00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:51.199
reservoir because NVIDIA kind of changed the game on them with how many graphics

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:54.840
cards they're going to have so they had to move the reservoir into where I

00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:58.000
believe the hard drive cages would originally go Y and that ended up

00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:02.120
screwing a whole bunch of stuff up like they had to custom cut the power supply

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.240
cover that comes in that in case and I think that is what ultimately cost them

00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:10.520
the competition because theirs was the one that should have been done like they

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:14.280
could have installed Windows on it by the end of the competition but making

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:18.919
those last minute alterations ended up causing them to not even be able to post

00:08:16.599 --> 00:08:22.639
their system at the very end of the competition which to my understanding

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.240
was actually the tiebreaker I think that's actually where their extensive

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.960
planning ended up hurting them because they planned so much that they didn't

00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:33.919
plan for anything not going according to plan so when something Mi mixed up their

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

00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.000
over honestly I think losing points for not posting might not have been entirely

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:45.080
Fair because looking at the other systems particularly the winter and how

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:50.320
functional those actually are in spite of whether they did or didn't

00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:55.600
post they all had postcode errors so you can say whatever you want

00:08:53.240 --> 00:09:00.360
about that which leads us to the project that turned out to be the eventual

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:04.279
winner the team BS mods

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:06.760
ancient IBM server machine that Bob

00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:14.279
Stewart and Rod Rosenberg chose to tackle I think they had by far the most

00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:16.440
ambitious project in terms of leaving no

00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:20.959
time to spare taking something that they could have worked frantically at for 48

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

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:29.720
go for smoke breaks or like stop for lunch breathe just generally like

00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:33.120
necessity kind of things and these would completely ignore it anytime that we

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:36.600
were wondering where they were at for interviews just oh okay go to the

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:41.240
Courtyard they'll be there working on their case they'll be sanding something

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:46.519
yeah yeah for the first 20 hours they will be sanding something yeah uh they

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:51.200
had to completely build whole they had to completely fabricate entire new parts

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

00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:57.920
fabricate this but they had to add in an entirely new motherboard tray they had

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

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

00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:10.240
finished system by the end of the project wouldn't have though right that

00:10:07.959 --> 00:10:14.680
brings in the 30 minute extension we were chosen to cap off the stream

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:19.040
because mod 24 was freaking awesome so they decided to let us kind of finish it

00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:22.399
off um and that gave all the teams an extra 30 minutes which was fine because

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:25.440
they didn't actually have 24 hours anyways so we allowed them to have a

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

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:34.000
I do not think they would would have finished and you know what I think that

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

00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:43.680
the judges had been a bit more technical it might have gone to team Mongoose

00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:46.160
because frankly it wasn't really done

00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:51.279
the stencil behind the door was not that great I mean I even heard them calling

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:53.079
it a quote unquote 30-footer when they

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:58.440
were working on the paint job because they saw how little time they had left

00:10:55.680 --> 00:11:02.959
after the fabrication and metal working that was involved in getting the case to

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:06.399
even house the hardware that they had yep their fans weren't plugged in I

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:10.760
believe that radiator is just glued to the back panel well they cut holes for

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:17.200
the radiator there's a triple radiator hole series cut but the the tubing

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:21.200
doesn't reach and they had not planned to do custom water cooling because they

00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:23.399
knew coming into the competition that they would have no time for that and

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:30.040
they'd be spending all their time building the case yeah so while I don't

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:33.639
necessarily know if the eventual

00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:36.079
winning spot was entirely deserved

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:40.399
especially because they mostly went with an NVIDIA theme not a gaming theme not

00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:42.600
your favorite moment in gaming it was very specifically your favorite moment

00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:48.600
in gaming which I guess none of them does

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

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

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:59.839
could definitely say that their favorite moment in gaming was attached to PDX

00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:05.320
land but their system ALS Al just plain old wasn't finished I mean the front

00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:07.360
fans were just not plugged in yeah even

00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:11.279
though they did manage to post which ended up being what pushed them over the

00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:14.760
edge although we did find that the two systems that quote unquote posted were

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.600
hitting postcode errors and the same postcode era that actually team mongus

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:24.120
was posting on but for some reason wasn't getting a display output yes so

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:28.160
overall though with all of that said I was cheering for team BS mods I told

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:31.560
them that I told you that I thought their project their concept was the

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

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:40.600
because it was so ambitious I loved what they were doing and the fact that they

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

00:12:43.199 --> 00:12:47.920
be them cleaning that system up for the

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:51.360
eventual Prize winner because I mean those panels don't even go back on no it

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:56.360
it's going to take them an incredibly long uh amount of time to finish this

00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:59.760
build outside of the event um and much more time than any of the other two

00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:02.839
builds especially team Mong but it sure was a cool concept

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:09.000
definitely and whoever wins it is going to be super stoked all right so guys

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.800
