00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.920
have you been itching for a computer desk upgrade but can't fit one in your

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.080
studio apartment well first things first

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:15.719
uh you should get that itch checked out buddy then when it turns out that it was

00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:21.840
just some uh you know jock itch or whatever second you should watch this

00:00:18.439 --> 00:00:25.439
video about the vector desk mini it's a

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.519
small sexy desk PC case and we're going

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:31.720
to show you guys how to cram a full

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:38.779
custom water cooling setup

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:48.079
it the master keys Pro keyboard lineup from Cooler Master is available in three

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.559
sizes each in white or RGB flavors check

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.840
them out at the link below when we first laid hands on the

00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:01.600
desk panels honestly they felt disappointingly flimsy compared to the

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.119
premium expectations we we had but then

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:11.360
we found out the price and given the $500 price tag this can be fairly easily

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.840
forgiven instructions needed some work

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:18.560
even after considering the price though the early version that we got was clear

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:23.600
enough for us to Finish the build but for novice computer builders some more

00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:27.759
attention to the screw threading and the positioning of the motherboard mounts

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:32.360
and small details like labels for the screws and documentation for the

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:38.040
included storage mounting could smooth out the process once the vector desk

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:40.840
mini actually reaches the market with

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:47.439
the desk assembled it's time to cram a computer inside of it now this puppy is

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.880
designed for air cooling or aiio liquid

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:54.960
cooling but come on we weren't just going to put your dad's Dell in here and

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.920
call it a day so we took aim at the more

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.520
accessible end of the Enthusiast Market putting together the best mult

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:08.800
multi-core gaming and content creation machine we could for a little over two

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:11.959
grand without water cooling parts these

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.640
days no budget high-end build it's kind

00:02:11.959 --> 00:02:21.760
of a new category here is complete without an AMD ryzen 7 CPU and their

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.959
1800x 8 core 16 thread monster is the

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:29.319
Beating Heart of ours on an ASUS Crosshair 6 hero motherboard that gives

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:35.599
us solid overclocking and support for keych Technologies like SLI for multiple

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:40.480
graphics cards m.2 storage for lightning

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:43.319
fast NVMe ssds and of course systemwide

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:49.239
RGB lighting to keep that heart pumping at all times we added a pump and lots of

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:54.519
other water cooling stuff as well courtesy of our friends at EK and Alpha

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:58.720
cool custom Loop water cooling as we mentioned before isn't officially

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:04.159
supported by the vector desk mini but we couldn't resist another opportunity to

00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:07.680
use ek's see-through Supremacy Evo CPU

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.080
block and full cover GPU block and

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:15.000
thanks to the unique fitting configuration on this alphao

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:18.840
xt45 there seemed to be enough space to

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.879
do a really clean tidy setup in here and

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:25.840
we wanted our desk to be as quiet as possible since it's like a foot and a

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:32.439
half from your face when you're using it without compromising on cooling next we

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.799
chose 32 gigs of Corsair's Vengeance lpx

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.799
ddr4 memory its low profile prevents it

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:44.519
from interfering with the tubing that we'll need to install later after

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:47.599
removing these bizarre PCI covers we

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:50.239
were able to mash in the sexy EK water

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:55.959
block equipped GTX 1080 that we had kitted out earlier now the 1080 TI might

00:03:54.040 --> 00:04:00.920
be the king of the hill right now but the 1080 fits a little bit better into

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:07.319
the budget that we're Target targeting we chose Corsair's RM 1000x power supply

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:13.640
because while we did know that this was overkill for this project we wanted to

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:16.519
make sure that the fan would never spin

00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:22.120
even while gaming ruining the Silence of the build up until this point basically

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:26.600
everything had gone according to the air quotes

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:29.320
plan but of course this is lonus Tech

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:34.919
tips there wasn't really a plan was there and Jake presumably because he was

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:41.039
busy daydreaming about whatever it is the Young's daydream about these days

00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:43.840
eventually realized that the GPU and

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:50.240
radiator weren't going to work in their original positions so out came the

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:53.400
Dremel and off came the PCIe screw cover

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.639
then the GPU was put back into the lower

00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:58.880
PCI E slot the 8X Lane won't affect the

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:06.440
performance as we demonstrated in this video here and the radiator was

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:09.080
replaced our Samsung 850 Evo SSD was

00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:13.800
chosen for its clean understated looks and great price to Performance ratio and

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.600
we mounted it using the included Hardware lining the reservoir and pump

00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:24.919
up with the SSD on the drive mounting bracket actually worked out nearly

00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.880
perfectly TM one issue with this

00:05:24.919 --> 00:05:31.319
approach was that the mounting didn't quite line up with the CPU causing the

00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:36.319
tube going from the CPU to the pump to not be quite you know parallel and we

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.880
could have easily fixed this by drilling new holes and moving the pump over a

00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:46.440
little bit but Jake had a hot date in his imagination and didn't feel like

00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:48.880
redoing it so hashtag deal with it I

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:53.240
guess power cabling was taken care of by a cable mod who supplied us with custom

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:58.120
length of their sexy carbon custom cables that perfectly fit the black and

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:03.160
gray aesthetic of our build and for tubing we went with Primo chill's

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:06.360
primoflex soft tubing for its Clarity

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.280
and just general awesomeness we

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:14.000
installed almost $150 worth of EK fittings at this point

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:20.800
in an effort to make sure that our runs were as straight as possible it's not

00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:23.440
quite Hardline Precision but we still

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:28.440
think it looks pretty darn good and it's quite a bit less work to execute in the

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:33.319
first place and to drain for maintenance in the future if such a thing should end

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:41.160
up being necessary bringing us to the scariest part of any water cooled build

00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:44.440
filling it up and leak testing so paper

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:48.160
towels in hand we carefully filled it

00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:50.479
watching for any leaks but fortunately

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:54.360
miraculously it was all assembled correctly save for the fill Port which

00:06:52.880 --> 00:07:00.000
probably had something to do with Jake cross threading it we threw in some EK

00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:06.479
vardar fans to handle air flow while going perfectly with our monochromatic

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.160
color scheme at which

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:15.240
point we were definitely ready to disguise the ugly IO cables that were

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.840
showing with some sleeving that was actually meant for a 24 pin power

00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:24.319
connector and some electrical tape because who needs correctly sized heat

00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:31.680
shrink anyway is that really what they did g then for the cherry on top we set

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.720
up a cable mod magnetic rgbw strip that

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:38.080
we use to make looking through the glass

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.560
super nice on your eyeballs speaking of

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:47.080
nice for your eyeballs we chose an LG Ultra wide monitor which actually came

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:49.680
in 4 in wider than the desk itself and

00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:55.599
then we also used a Corsair 10 keyless keyboard since space is clearly out of

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:58.319
premium and to complement it a g403

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:03.400
mouse that is as long as you don't mind covering up your creation with a mouse

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.879
pad an MX anywhere Mark 2 would be a

00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:09.919
great choice if you want something that tracks directly on the glass instead of

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:16.319
needing that uh layer in between yourself and your PC's

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.599
Beauty with all this set up now we think

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:23.560
and we're very objective about these sort of things that it looks pretty darn

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:28.080
good and it should be noted that with all the hardware installed the overall

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:32.120
rigidity of the desk improved to the point where it's lightweight

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:38.640
construction was no longer a concern but bottom line the vector desk

00:08:35.880 --> 00:08:45.839
Mini's greatest strength also ends up being its greatest weakness its size

00:08:42.640 --> 00:08:49.839
this desk is going to fit basically

00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:51.839
anywhere but at the same time it doesn't

00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:57.080
offer quite enough room for low sensitivity gaming even with a 10

00:08:53.959 --> 00:09:01.200
keyless keyboard and a typical desk pad

00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:03.760
ends up drooping fles ly over the sides

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:10.480
and forget about using a keyboard with a number pad with that said the finished

00:09:06.760 --> 00:09:13.120
product looks and feels awesome the

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:17.120
price is super reasonable considering what you'd pay for just a normal

00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:22.880
computer case with a tempered glass side panel and then just a normal desk to put

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:25.920
it on and if you're super strapped for

00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:30.200
space this might just be the coolest

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:32.480
damn PC desk on the Block but but if you

00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:37.600
want something that's a little bit more functional well you might want to wait a

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:43.279
little bit because this won't be the last desk PC we are checking

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:49.000
out Ting is the mobile carrier that provides more than just service for your

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:53.440
cellular phone they provide someone to talk to if you are lonely and sad that's

00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:59.120
right my friends when you call customer service at Ting you will speak to a

00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:01.360
person not a robot with no automated

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:05.480
phone tree and they don't even charge extra for that privilege you pay only

00:10:03.800 --> 00:10:10.480
for what you use with the average Ting bill being only 23 bucks a month per

00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:15.160
device if you're stuck in a contract and you switch to Ting they'll cover 25% of

00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:20.399
your cancellation fee up to 75 bucks and they have new lowered mobile data rates

00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:24.920
data is now just $10 per gig beyond the first Gigabyte so head over to Linus

doing.com to try out the savings calculator and see if you'll save and

00:10:27.160 --> 00:10:32.000
when you use our link you'll also get $25 bucks in service credit or towards a

00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:35.480
new device so thanks for watching guys if
