1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,040
I'm told this will be one of the easiest AMD ultimate $5,000 tech upgrades that

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,560
we have ever done. Cuz you see Robert here, one of our longest standing

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:14,520
editors, actually built a computer I mean a whole damn battle station for

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:19,040
himself last year. So, what he put on his wish list was a simple old NAS to

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,640
help store old projects that he no longer works on.

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:28,040
So, what's the deal? You getting ready to leave me like everyone leaves me?

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,760
You know, it it check in like 2 months or whatever, and I will see.

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Wow, that was a far less reassuring answer than I expected.

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,120
Okay, so it's just a giant homework folder then. Pretty much, yeah. I I have

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,840
some I have some old actually have a lot of stuff that's just on like loose like

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,880
portable hard drives and that that's just like just sitting there and it's like I need a place for it, so. You're

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,680
so innocent. Do you even know what homework means?

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:56,000
It's been a while. What does that mean?

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,880
OH, WAIT. NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,320
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, a NAS is an outstanding upgrade for someone like

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Robert who does some freelance work on the side. I mean, there's certainly

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,720
worse things he could spend his money on. Our resident Funko expert Elijah

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:13,360
pointed out that as much plastic junk as he has, at least he never spent AMD's

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:17,400
hard-earned money on Who is this? Robin?

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,040
Arsenal, Green Arrow's sidekick. How much did this cost? Uh I think it was

21
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,280
450 US. $4.50?

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,400
450 US. >> You have got to be kidding me right now.

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,680
He's a uh he's a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive mini figure, so there's a a

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,840
limited of him. LEGO is only as expensive as you let it be. You know,

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:41,800
people will sell it by the pound on Facebook, right? Yeah, well, I didn't

26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,120
buy it. AMD did, so you know, they made the bad financial decision.

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Please tell me you spared some budget for tech stuff. Oh, yeah. There's we got

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,360
I mean, we got the NAS, we got some speakers, sound bar, camera gear, and uh

29
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,400
VCR.

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Barely tech at this point. I mean, how are you even going to notice

31
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:08,280
this one in the army of other LEGO figures? Oh, that's that's just the the

32
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:15,240
the really expensive ones basically. There's a lot more scattered around here. Ah, yes.

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Obi-Wan with beard. Obi-Wan with

34
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:22,600
different beard. This This is how you got featured on our

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:34,029
worst setups before. Poor financial management.

36
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,720
It's that spooky time of year, and five

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:51,760
lucky souls will soon wield the dark power of AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D

38
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,200
processor. Enter, if you dare, this

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,680
sweepstakes for a chance to claim one of these beasts forged in the depths of

40
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:04,160
silicon. Jared, did you run this through ChatGPT?

41
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:09,160
No. Yes. Make my sponsor talking points spooky.

42
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,320
The point is the link is in the video deadscription.

43
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:18,200
But be warned, once you've seen this kind of performance, THERE'S NO GOING

44
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,200
BACK.

45
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,680
THANK YOU, AMD, FOR MAKING THIS terrifyingly good giveaway possible. And

46
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,200
good luck, brave PC builder. There is even more in the bedroom. It's hard to

47
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:34,720
get in the bedroom right now, but then you can see the shelf from here. There's even uh Oh my god.

48
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,520
And then these ones are some of my favorites, so that's why they're in here. Right, so you can watch them while

49
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,200
you sleep. Or they can watch you while you don't sleep. I can say with certainty that

50
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,040
like LEGO is the thing I've chosen my like disposable income to go towards.

51
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,920
It's Yeah. I picked kids. Both are valid

52
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:56,280
choices. Disposable, you know?

53
00:03:53,880 --> 00:04:02,640
No, the income not the income not the kids. The scenes are cool. Yeah, the

54
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,640
scenes are cool. This is cool.

55
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:11,160
You had collector's money for a piece of film strip from a film, and you chose

56
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:17,280
the Phantom Menace. It was a Christmas gift. From now your greatest enemy?

57
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,840
You have a bunch of VHS tapes already, but you didn't have a player yet. Yeah.

58
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:25,320
Yeah, I had a bunch of tapes from cuz I I moved out about a year and a half ago,

59
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,240
so I had still had access to a player. Uh but then when I moved, I didn't have

60
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,160
one, so. Right, so you needed to reacquire a

61
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:36,160
player so that you could watch classics like The Brave Little Toaster. Yeah. Do

62
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:41,480
you watch it as an adult, or is it more just about owning a piece of the nostalgia? Uh I actually I've watched it

63
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,840
in a while, but uh this was like when I could go to my grandma's for like sleepovers and that. This was like the

64
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,840
movie we would watch and that, so that that's yeah, pretty much for the

65
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,800
nostalgia. Are these VHS copies from your childhood, or are they ones you acquired as an adult? Basically all

66
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,720
childhood, uh but between my my grandma and my nana and that, I took a bunch of

67
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:59,480
the tapes that I Whenever I'd go over sleep for sleepovers, it was movie night

68
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:03,680
and that, so I took a bunch of the ones that we uh we used to watch and that, so that's

69
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,480
Legit. Want to talk us through your sound bar choice? I'm not a huge audio

70
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,840
person, so that's actually why there's a lot of audio gear here. It's cuz it's stuff I wouldn't normally buy myself.

71
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,400
Um but when I when I was looking, um ideally wanted wanted to get one with a

72
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,800
like a dedicated like subwoofer and that, so went on open box and was able

73
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:26,800
to find one for about the price of like just a sound bar. And did you know about

74
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,360
open box before Scrapyard Wars? Uh yeah, actually some people had told me about

75
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,520
it. >> Cuz I didn't, and >> Really? Dude,

76
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,520
they have some deals from time to time. Yeah, openbox.ca, shout-out. Not a

77
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,480
sponsor. Not a sponsor, but cuz how could they afford to sponsor anyone with

78
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,520
prices that low? You know what? Let's have David and

79
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Reese throw this on the TV, and then you and I can build the NAS. Okay. Robert,

80
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,880
problem. Oh, uh yeah. Well, we got a

81
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:58,360
solution for that. Trick or treat, SMELL MY TV'S FEET.

82
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,120
YOU SHOULD see the branding for this There is the tutorial for this on Amazon

83
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,320
is a guy dressed as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

84
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Uh I love that I get to spend my days with my people.

85
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,400
I hate that these are my people.

86
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,040
All right, ROBERT, LET'S BUILD A NAS. OKAY.

87
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,960
You're a PC builder, if I recall correctly, right? Uh You've built a

88
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,560
couple computers before? I built one last year, uh and it's my first time

89
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:31,280
building it, so I followed a bunch of our tutorials. I started like 7:00, 7:30

90
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,920
on a Friday night. Uh I didn't get it to fully boot properly until about 2:00 in

91
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:41,520
the morning. Okay, well, today will be a big big improvement. Now, you went a bit

92
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:46,160
of an unconventional route here. You've actually gone with a last generation AM4

93
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,920
platform, specifically the Ryzen 7 5800XT.

94
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:54,000
Why did you choose that for your NAS? It was one that was suggested to me by

95
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:58,080
the writers. Okay, I will explain then. It's an

96
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,680
eight-core 16-thread processor that's going to give him ample performance for

97
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:06,080
high-speed copies to and from his network storage device, and having eight

98
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,840
of those cores, not to mention still decent efficiency even compared to

99
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,120
modern chips, means that if you wanted to run some virtualized applications

100
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,520
like say he wanted to move into this century with, you know, a Plex server

101
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:21,480
for instance, he could totally run that on his NAS. Now, it's up to you to get

102
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:26,280
that chip installed. The only time I've done this, it was the do not whoop yeah

103
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:31,200
yeah yeah yeah yeah. It was the do not mention brand. So, this will be my first

104
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,160
one of this of AMD. Do not mention brand? I assume we're not supposed to

105
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,600
name the other the competitor. I mean, I can see why AMD wouldn't want us to name

106
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,760
a competitor in the videos, but like Intel? Who cares?

107
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,960
I I mean, it's an honest question at this point. You're literally choosing

108
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,960
AMD's three generation ago product over their

109
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:56,520
competitor. That could change. It could change in the future, but uh

110
00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Okay, the corner in the corner. Make sure that it's

111
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:06,480
I For CPU cooling, Robert has gone with the cooler. It's the Peerless Assassin

112
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:11,880
120 SE Black from Thermalright. When I edited uh the writers build $1,000 PC

113
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,600
video, uh Plouffe and Adam picked this one, and they were like excited about

114
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,400
it. They're excited about the price-to-performance ratio. This thing

115
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,320
is unbelievable for the price. Thermalright is killing it. Uh okay,

116
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,080
you're going to need this, and you're going to need a screwdriver.

117
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Uh mine's in my office. Ah, you Well, yeah, you always have one. lttstore.com,

118
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,000
baby. How scientific do you want to be? Not very. Let's just lift it and hope

119
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:39,039
that we get the right >> Just wing it. Just wing it.

120
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,919
Looks good to me. All right. Now, thermal compound.

121
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:45,400
And if I mess this up, the entire internet will roast me for it.

122
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,440
>> No, it doesn't matter anymore. People are over it at this point, I think.

123
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Oh, well, not like that. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Uh this is

124
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:59,680
critical. Yeah, watch out. Didn't you do that in a recent video?

125
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,640
This is the problem with having video editors is they know everything. They

126
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:10,640
see everything. They see every flubbed line, every mistake, every bad hair day.

127
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:14,240
Stuff we're not supposed to see. I'm really hoping that we had the legs

128
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,160
high enough so we don't have to redo it.

129
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,880
Oh, it's more height than we need. Do we need to go down one? Uh no, I think

130
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,760
that's probably perfect. Yeah, Robert wants the extra space, right? And then there's any time when we're

131
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:30,200
editing footage and it's just like, "Oh, yeah, he's just got his pants off and he's changing in the back there."

132
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,200
Well,

133
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,280
Oh my god, you were rolling on that? Okay.

134
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:40,440
I feel like we're going to have a lot of stuff that doesn't make the YouTube cut for this one.

135
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,280
LMG.gg/Floatplane Hit them with the new mogart.

136
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,440
Did you do the new one? Yeah, actually I I I do a lot of the the mogart stuff

137
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,160
now. So, a lot of the new stuff that you've seen in that that's been all me.

138
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:57,120
Robert did the intro for Scrapyard Wars 10, which was freaking outstanding.

139
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:02,840
Uh we got 32 gigs of RAM. Keep track of that. 3600 CL18. I mean,

140
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:07,800
decent DDR4 kits are pretty affordable these days, although not as cheap as you

141
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,960
might think, you know, being outdated and all of that because production for

142
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:15,240
DDR4 hasn't been as high. So, it prices have kind of been a little bit all over

143
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,760
the place. I have a question. How is this going to help at all? It's going to

144
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:23,440
sit on top. OH. WHY NOT JUST wall mount? Basically just

145
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:28,920
like I guess it's like making more holes in the wall to have to deal with later. What kind of holes in your wall? Those

146
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,760
are hung with nails. Robert, where does the sound bar plug

147
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,080
in? Uh

148
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:41,080
There's no power. No, there there should be the power bar down there. >> I mean, yeah, but it's full. It is? It's

149
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,680
because your power bar is half AC and half USB ports. What kind of power bar

150
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,360
is that? So, the switch in that will get moved into the middle here and then the VCR will go on the end there.

151
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,440
>> Right, right, right, right. >> Uh but yeah, as for the plug situation, didn't realize that. Uh I guess I'll

152
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,840
have to get a new uh power bar, but for now we can just plug in the sound bar

153
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:02,600
and just unplug one of these.

154
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Oh, I haven't seen the N5 before.

155
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:10,040
This is from Jonsbo. They make some really cool little compact cases.

156
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,640
It can fit 12 hard drives and four SSDs. You're good.

157
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:18,280
Nice. Uh is it time to install the VCR?

158
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:23,080
Uh sure. Should we talk about what's special about it? I mean, Dan's dad sort

159
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,240
of I assume refurbished it for you cuz I know that he does that.

160
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,720
>> The only special thing I know about it is it's got a weird ass remote. That's

161
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,720
not that weird. Yeah, that's not that weird.

162
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:37,400
You also have the cheap RCA to HDMI adapter that I really hope I didn't

163
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,080
recommend, but it's fine for VCRs. Uh it

164
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:43,520
it the corner's mushed. Oh, wow. She got dinged. But, that doesn't affect the

165
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,280
assembly cuz this is just the final cover piece. So, There's something so

166
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,520
satisfying about plugging in RCAs. I don't know if it's just nostalgia or if

167
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:55,160
we've lost something with the HDMI standard, but feels so good. This one's

168
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,520
fine. So, as long as you can get a new cover piece, it'll be cosmetically

169
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:02,839
perfect. Wow, this is great. Man, I really like

170
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Jonsbo's cases. Way to go, Jonsbo. Couple 120 mm fans

171
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:11,200
for pulling air through those 12 hard drives in the front, full-size ATX power

172
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:15,040
supply, full-size ATX motherboard support, which gives you lots of room

173
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:19,800
for PCI expansion cards, which funnily enough in a NAS can actually mean more

174
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:24,680
than in your desktop computer these days cuz you might want to have accelerator

175
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:27,560
cards for encoding movies or excuse me,

176
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:32,600
Linux ISOs, high-speed networking, HBAs for additional drives, and then the

177
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,160
front is just mesh for days.

178
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,440
Great for airflow. This is very used.

179
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:42,760
It's like discolored on the back from heat. Oh, that's probably okay. As long

180
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:47,040
as this isn't one of those counterfeit LSI cards.

181
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:50,920
Which, if it's really heavily used, maybe it isn't. Okay, well, this will do

182
00:12:48,839 --> 00:12:55,320
another eight drives. So, that'll do the full complement of 16 that this case can

183
00:12:52,839 --> 00:12:59,400
accommodate then with the onboard ones. Yeah, this is like a SAS 12 gig card.

184
00:12:56,839 --> 00:13:02,000
This is Oh, this was this expensive? I don't think it was too expensive, but I

185
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,080
think that's why it's used is that they saved cost there. While they're finishing up the NAS, we're going to

186
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,800
work on the audio interface and the Yamaha HS5 speakers. Um

187
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:15,120
Robert, it seems like you've committed one of the common blunders. Uh where are

188
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:20,680
these speakers going to fit on your desk? It is a tight fit. Uh the plan is

189
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:24,400
for them to go on either end. Uh we can move the monitors a bit and I I think

190
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:31,000
the based on the measurements of like the boxes very big, but based on the measurements of the actual speakers,

191
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,000
they should fit in those spaces.

192
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,680
Any reason you picked the Focusrite Scarlett Solo? Uh just Google. Robert,

193
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:43,720
you don't really use this for stream, but you do do content creation. What do you use for a mic? Uh so, it's actually

194
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:47,360
it's this guy here. So, uh when I go to record in that, I just get this up to

195
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:51,200
standing height and then swivel this guy around

196
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,960
and now you're going to record. >> It's just like a USB powered mic. Yeah, it just plugs into the computer and then

197
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,400
I use like uh like Audacity or whatever to record on my desktop. Have I got some

198
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:03,120
great news for you. The XLR input on this, you can upgrade your mic to

199
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:08,200
anything that isn't that. >> Honestly, would you say what's more important, good video or good audio?

200
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:12,040
Good audio. Well, to a point. Yes. You need acceptable video or nobody's going

201
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:17,640
to watch it at all. >> is acceptable video. >> so these days, yeah. And then as long as

202
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,079
you have good audio, we've shot like Dude, we did that one recently where

203
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:25,560
David and I went shopping in the Best Buy and >> Oh, yeah. we just as long as we're

204
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:30,240
wearing like a professional quality pack and microphone, we shot a bunch of it on

205
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,040
like not just on a cell phone, but like

206
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,520
on the selfie camera of a cell phone cuz we're self filming.

207
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,240
I don't think I saw a single person say they cared about it. >> Nope, the audio matters so much more.

208
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Yeah. You You just got to make sure it's extra good.

209
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,320
What do you think of these speakers' placements? You're kidding, right?

210
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,520
I didn't know how to tell Robert. >> Is it funny? I I don't know. No.

211
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Fix it. I I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS CALLED ME

212
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,520
over to look at this. I was over here being perfectly

213
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:04,560
productive, shocking hard drives, getting them ready for installation before me over there to look at that.

214
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Let's talk about hard drives instead. Sure, they're boring. But, these are

215
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:12,560
boring IronWolf Pros, 12 terabytes each, and they come with data recovery service

216
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,880
as part of their I believe it's a 5-year warranty, so pretty great choice. Oh,

217
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,880
you're back. Feel free to throw those drives in.

218
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,839
Can you bring that a little bit closer? The cable's too short. No.

219
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,839
Oh. I guess we're just going to run the

220
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,000
cable across. Robert, you're going to have to buy longer cables.

221
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:35,440
I mean, it obviously the angles are weird, but it's it's so much better than

222
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,120
the speaker or the the monitor speakers.

223
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,880
The only way to know for sure is to do crap rave. I'm not even in what is

224
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,800
supposed to be the sweet spot, and I can already tell that it's awful. Also, what

225
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,800
is this? Yeah.

226
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,839
Yeah, originally I thought the cable on this was going to be longer and be able to be more in the center, then those

227
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,040
would have reached. No, no, no, no, no. My concern was that you don't have

228
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,720
proper acoustic isolators holding the cable up.

229
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:04,640
No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. The micro vibrations of the cable.

230
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,600
Woah. I mean, the speaker clarity is outstanding, which I really get to

231
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,079
appreciate having my ear right next to it.

232
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:21,560
Yeah, actually not bad at all. For not having a subwoofer, that's like

233
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:26,079
great. I'm going to leave you a spot to put a GPU Okay. because I believe that

234
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,360
that is actually more important. Like if you ever wanted to use it for Plex or

235
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,800
something like that. Are you ever going to run a Plex server?

236
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,000
At the moment, not that I can think of. My My Plex server is my DVD case.

237
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:47,959
This is an odd choice. You put in a 2.5 gig PCIe network card.

238
00:16:47,959 --> 00:16:53,839
These days, it's usually cheaper to get 2.5 gig networking just integrated onto

239
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,360
the motherboard, but I guess that was less true in the AM4 days.

240
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,839
Uh let's throw in the power supply. We chose the RM750 because it's a perfectly

241
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:06,079
suitably adequate quiet power supply from Corsair. Thanks, Corsair. We're

242
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:10,679
kind of at the end of the pile of stuff, and there's just this FX30. Why do you

243
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:13,920
have this, Robert? Uh this is for basically my own content creation, maybe

244
00:17:12,199 --> 00:17:18,240
some freelance work, and that's my first proper cinema camera cuz prior to that,

245
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:22,880
all I had was phone camera, which did the job, but definitely better. You also

246
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:27,880
have a Sigma Contemporary lens, which is a pretty solid choice. Some SD cards.

247
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:32,040
Dummy battery. What the heck is this Stream Deck pedal for? This is something

248
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,200
that to be honest, I thought I would never own. Uh I bought uh the Elgato

249
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:40,120
Prompter off of David when he was selling a whole bunch of his stuff, and

250
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,360
unfortunately, as far as I could find uh any like small Bluetooth remotes don't

251
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:48,960
work with the Prompter. You need an actual Elgato uh product in that, and

252
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:52,200
because my setup is a standing uh setup, I can put this down at my feet, control

253
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,200
the Prompter, and keep my hands free. It's just three buttons, and that's

254
00:17:53,800 --> 00:18:01,160
basically all I need. It'll be scroll up, scroll down, play, pause on the Prompter, and we'll be good to go. This

255
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:05,640
is nice. The back of this case is just unlimited cable stuffing space. So, you

256
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:10,800
can just chuck everything back there and then not worry about the fact that the bottom is just a complete rat's nest.

257
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:14,360
And that's it. This is ready to go.

258
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,360
I mean, okay, it doesn't look like much right now, but I'm thinking let's make

259
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,640
sure it all works and then we can button it up.

260
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:27,159
Robert, is this your new chair? Yeah. >> to the last one?

261
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,760
Uh here's my previous uh chair. And

262
00:18:27,159 --> 00:18:33,440
here's the other part. Oh. Oh, wow. Wow. I was leaning back in my

263
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,720
chair getting ready to watch some YouTube, and it just snapped.

264
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:43,520
Uh okay, everyone wandered away, but I have bad news for them. No. I had this

265
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,120
kind of like subconscious like, "Oh, you really need a GPU. You should have a

266
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:51,679
GPU. I'll leave room for a GPU." This doesn't have onboard graphics.

267
00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:57,840
Hey, I know something that you could that you could sell to raise some money

268
00:18:56,159 --> 00:19:01,640
for a GPU. I mean, can we pull the one out of here or something? It doesn't need to be a

269
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,640
powerful GPU, just anything. To be clear, in the longer term, there would

270
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,840
be nothing that would prevent him from running this without a GPU in it at all.

271
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:13,560
Um it's just that while we're configuring it right now, it's going to

272
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,840
be a bit of a pain. Jeez.

273
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:20,200
My god, man. Clean your things. I think I've opened that computer once.

274
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:24,200
I went and I put in the SSD cuz we forgot about that before we went with

275
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:27,800
the P3 Plus cuz it's fine for a boot SSD.

276
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:32,480
All right, we got a GPU now. Here we go. Yay! We'll be using Hex OS for his NAS

277
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,840
software because I don't know. The fact that I invested

278
00:19:34,159 --> 00:19:39,760
in something makes everyone comfortable using alpha software. I I I I'm not at

279
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:44,360
the point where I'd recommend it yet, but here it is.

280
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,360
I didn't pick it.

281
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:52,000
You guys installed the VCR. Um D- does it have like head alignment

282
00:19:51,159 --> 00:19:57,360
issues or >> It certainly seems like it does. It doesn't advertise that it has like the

283
00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,280
four heads. Sound bar. Big improvement.

284
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,960
As long as you're watching relatively modern content.

285
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,240
Anything I say is just going to get I'm going to get I'm going to get

286
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,720
I'm going to get teased about it. So >> to say you can't tell the difference,

287
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,720
weren't you? Uh, no, I'm out.

288
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:23,200
Oh boy, what's this? So on my family's last trip to Disneyland Uh, my brother

289
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:27,080
and I both got some of these. And at the time it was very expensive to ship both

290
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,880
these and the blades home. So we never got any blades, but uh

291
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,240
>> now we do. And this video is going to come out right

292
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:39,960
before my brother's birthday. So surprise. What about it? Ah, there we

293
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,960
go. Kill him.

294
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,880
Okay, put some passion in it. Taking it back to you, baby boy.

295
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:51,640
Why did they never go FOR THE LEGS? MIND YOU, I DIED THERE, SO

296
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,840
WE GOT THE Stream Deck pedal hooked up to the prompter.

297
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Um, so middle button should be play pause Oh, it paused. Okay. And then

298
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,800
should be scroll down. I'll I'll speed it up a little bit in that.

299
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:08,000
And then scroll up. HexOS is installed. Now what you got to

300
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:13,000
do is go to deck.hexos.com. Here, just click that link.

301
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:16,600
Boop boop boop boop boop boop. Sweet. Oops. Turn away. Turn away.

302
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,400
Personal information, yada yada. Don't hackster

303
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:26,360
his main frame. What do you want your server name to be?

304
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:30,120
Oh, uh Big PP.

305
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:32,280
Arkham Asylum. From Batman. I I know

306
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:35,920
what Arkham Asylum is from. Now hopefully we won't need the TrueNAS

307
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,440
interface again, but it's there in case you want it. That's one of the cool

308
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,560
things about HexOS is it's kind of a layer on top of TrueNAS to make it more

309
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,320
user-friendly. So if you're the kind of person that finds TrueNAS very easy to

310
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:50,520
use, good for you.

311
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:54,080
You can stop typing that comment. We're impressed, but you just don't need

312
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,960
to tell everybody about it. And if you're the kind of person who finds this

313
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,920
a little bit challenging and obtuse, HexOS is there for you. 94 98 megabytes

314
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,560
a second. Brilliant. Perfect. We are maxing out

315
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,960
our gigabit connection right now. They're hard drives, so they're not going to be super fast.

316
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,360
And I think you've only got gigabit to your system here. You're going to probably want to rectify that. Do you

317
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,600
have a 2 and 1/2 gig switch? Uh, no, I do not. So that's some stuff I'll have

318
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,920
to look into. So that'll be something for your next tech upgrade.

319
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:24,720
Which I wouldn't mind doing.

320
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:29,480
It's nice hanging out. And you know what? It's nice implementing a tech

321
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:32,679
upgrade that is other than a couple of egregious

322
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,840
wastes of money, pretty practical. We ended up with a NAS

323
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,640
for archival storage. We ended up upgrading the TV setup in the living

324
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,640
room with a nice little sound bar setup. We ended up upgrading his audio. Which

325
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:50,400
will be fixed later. >> fixed later.

326
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:52,240
Uh, and we got a bunch of sick streaming

327
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,440
and freelancing gear. Did I miss anything? I mean there is the stuff that

328
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,880
we haven't actually shot yet. We're going to shoot that afterwards or Oh,

329
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,679
let's go look. There's a few things. Oh, you mean this? Yeah. I covered this.

330
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:06,080
This was the egregious waste of money. So thank you very much AMD for

331
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:10,160
sponsoring this ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade. I will see you at the next one.

332
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:14,400
No, no, no. You have to UNBOX THAT. >> WHY? >> TOO COOL. Just the Ghost Rider.

333
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:19,800
Everything else I don't care about. >> Who cares? >> I care. No, I want to see this. How do

334
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,520
you not care about a demon skeleton on a bike? If you enjoyed this video, why

335
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:29,800
don't you go check out Dennis's AMD ultimate tech upgrade. It had honestly

336
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,640
more practical stuff in it than this one did.

337
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:39,440
This was the single most expensive item in the upgrade. So >> How much was this? Uh, before tax was

338
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:41,600
900 Canadian.

339
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Why would you be opening it? This is like this has been like a holy

340
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:50,040
grail like I wanted to get one of their statues for a long time, so I mean he's

341
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:55,440
heavy. I can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship of it.

342
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,920
$600 US. And this one is a lot more than a lot

343
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,360
more expensive. Right, cuz this is like no-name ass

344
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,640
hero. Shut up. I've never even heard of Ghost

345
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:11,880
>> heard of Ghost Rider? Nick Nick Cage played him in a movie. Twice.

346
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:17,160
I have never heard of Ghost Rider. I'm so sorry.

347
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:20,640
>> Johnny Blaze?

348
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,640
And we're done.
