WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.640 So here we are, a long, painful seven months 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:07.360 after we first teased the concept 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.840 of building the first ever Linus Media Group gaming lounge. 00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:14.920 And ironically, pretty much everything else 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:17.480 about this space is done. 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:19.040 So we've got our side table here. 00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:20.800 This just arrived. 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.120 It's still got all the protective stuff on it. 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.920 We've got our board games table here. 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:28.800 This is actually a bit of a placeholder, but whatever. 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.120 We could play board games. 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.960 We've got the media lounge. 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.560 That is like, it's fricking awesome. 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.040 And the one part we haven't actually started on yet 00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:41.400 is the actual LAN gaming center. 00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.660 Fortunately, everything's here! 00:00:44.660 --> 00:00:47.710 Those are, oh, yeah! 00:00:47.710 --> 00:00:48.590 Oh my God. 00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:53.350 So it's time for us to finally build the first real system. 00:00:53.350 --> 00:00:55.390 Except that we had a small problem. 00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:59.310 We were having trouble getting the Core i7 processors 00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:00.710 that we had intended to use. 00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:03.390 It was from our prototype system way back when. 00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:05.110 So we figured, you know what? 00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:08.230 Well, we're only running RTX 2070s anyway. 00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:11.350 Would AMD really be that much 00:01:11.350 --> 00:01:13.270 of a performance compromise here? 00:01:13.270 --> 00:01:14.110 Let me hold this. 00:01:14.110 --> 00:01:18.070 Well, there's only one way for us to find out. 00:01:18.070 --> 00:01:20.790 The MOS Grande backpack is the perfect companion 00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:22.630 for laptops of up to 17 inches 00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:25.670 since the bag is water resistant and padded for protection. 00:01:25.670 --> 00:01:27.470 Also, it has an orange interior. 00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:37.720 Check it out at the link below. 00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:38.960 So before we get 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:42.120 to building our actual final spec rig, 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.080 I guess a bit of a haul video 00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:46.450 is kind of in order here, isn't it? 00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:49.410 Man, this is a lot of hardware. 00:01:49.410 --> 00:01:53.210 Every system is getting a G903? 00:01:53.210 --> 00:01:55.370 No, it's actually worse. 00:01:55.370 --> 00:01:56.810 We went a little further than that. 00:01:56.810 --> 00:01:58.770 We went even further over the top? 00:01:58.770 --> 00:01:59.970 Those are extras. 00:01:59.970 --> 00:02:01.290 Every system is getting one 00:02:01.290 --> 00:02:04.370 of Logitech's Pro Wireless Gaming Mice. 00:02:04.370 --> 00:02:07.730 Okay, as if half the people that are gonna be using it 00:02:07.730 --> 00:02:09.210 are even skilled enough to know 00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:10.210 the difference. 00:02:10.210 --> 00:02:12.890 Everyone's getting a G513 Carbon 00:02:12.890 --> 00:02:15.410 with their Romergy linear switches. 00:02:15.410 --> 00:02:18.210 Everyone's getting a G935 headset. 00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:21.410 And thanks to Logitech's recent acquisition 00:02:21.410 --> 00:02:25.330 of Blue Microphones, a Yeti Nano mic. 00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:28.570 Because, you know, the built-in headset mic. 00:02:28.570 --> 00:02:29.410 I mean, we've got it. 00:02:29.410 --> 00:02:32.010 It's not like it's not a super high-end headset, 00:02:32.010 --> 00:02:34.770 but we're gonna use an off-board mic, you know, whatever. 00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:37.330 Then moving into the systems themselves, 00:02:37.330 --> 00:02:39.050 we're running Ryzen 2700. 00:02:39.210 --> 00:02:43.210 We're gonna be using the Ryzen 2700X processors. 00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:46.090 So yes, we lose a little bit of single-threaded performance 00:02:46.090 --> 00:02:49.210 compared to the 8700Ks we initially spec'd, 00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:51.450 but we can probably overclock them a little. 00:02:51.450 --> 00:02:53.490 And quite frankly, in the e-sports titles 00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:55.330 that we'll be running for the most part, 00:02:55.330 --> 00:02:57.450 I don't expect it to make a difference. 00:02:57.450 --> 00:02:59.890 Although, we will be testing that out today. 00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:01.210 And then cooling them, 00:03:01.210 --> 00:03:04.690 we're gonna be using H100i RGB Platinum Water Coolers 00:03:04.690 --> 00:03:05.810 from Corsair. 00:03:05.810 --> 00:03:08.210 We're gonna be pairing them with 16 gigs each, 00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:13.210 a DDR4 2666 megahertz RGB RAM from also Corsair. 00:03:14.130 --> 00:03:18.210 Every system gets an MP300 480 gig boot drive. 00:03:18.210 --> 00:03:19.810 Do we have hard drives for these?
