1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,320
people tend to treat building high-end computers like creating a sculpture the

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,200
construction is slow and meticulous time

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:17,160
is taken ensuring that every individual cable is roted and managed perfectly

4
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:21,920
Investments are made not only in their cuttingedge Hardware but also in things

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:26,880
that offer little to no performance Improvement like beautiful brushed

6
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:30,800
aluminum and tempered glass from their Superior components to their fine

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,920
craftsmanship to they seemingly cult-like Community it's easy to

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:41,680
understand the passion and like sculptures the best personal computers

9
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:48,360
are all about the Builder's attention to detail it has a GTX 980 like a desktop

10
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:53,480
PC it has rubber tubing like the International Space Station it has

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:01:00,120
strapping like a pickup truck it has a magnesium aluminum alloy frame like an

12
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:03,640
F1 car it mounts to your back like like

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,400
a jetpack it features an AC to DC

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:11,439
voltage converted power delivery system like the cray supercomputer and it

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,640
features dual exhaust ports like an F-16

16
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,240
fighter jet the LT Edition VR backpack

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,040
may just be the most revolutionary closest to falling apart piece of

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,680
technology ever pulled out of a Craigslist ad

19
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:37,560
the be quiet! dark based Pro 900 modular design supports a variety of different

20
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,920
layouts and configurations click on the link in the video description to learn

21
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,040
more all right so first off I need to give a shout out to the drive YouTube

22
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:52,280
channel and Corbin Goodwin for their awesome video the zero given RX7 which

23
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:57,479
inspired the intro to this video Corbin's car is badass go check it out

24
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,119
now getting back on topic why did we make a VR backpack it's actually rather

25
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,560
simple we wanted to play with it and you can't buy a commercial one yet the B1 VR

26
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:13,160
backpack that we checked out from aorus in January at CES this year is vaporware

27
00:02:11,239 --> 00:02:17,599
and the same is true for the Zotac VR backpack that was showcased at computex

28
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:22,480
this year and while MSI has announced their VR1 backpack and I've heard

29
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,360
through the grape find that a certain space fairing organization that rhymes

30
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:30,720
with Bessa H anyways they're going to use it

31
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:37,560
for immersive training of their astronauts which is very cool and that

32
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:39,959
also is not available yet so if you want

33
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:45,000
to solve the problem with the long cable that runs between the headset and the

34
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:50,120
computer also known as the tether coming up with something yourself is the only

35
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:54,400
way lonus had one idea but while he lightened the cable itself he ended up

36
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:59,239
wearing a backpack full of electronics so large and heavy that many of you

37
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:03,840
wondered if he wouldn't be better off just you know putting the Computing

38
00:03:01,239 --> 00:03:08,920
device on his back directly this doesn't remove the tether but it will remove any

39
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:14,360
issues with the tether as you just need to Cable manage it from well your back

40
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,519
so I set out to do this as cost effectively as possible without

41
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:21,640
compromising on the experience I started

42
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:27,000
with a proper hiking style backpack frame with a waist Buckle the weight

43
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,439
mitigation is really not a big deal this

44
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,000
thing with all this Hardware weighs less than the bag I used to carry around

45
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:39,840
school with just textbooks in it but as with many things the most important

46
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,680
reason is cost I got this backpack for

47
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:48,280
25 bucks off Craigslist from a lady who seemed like she would have rather had

48
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:50,879
anyone come pick it up other than me

49
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:56,560
after removing the bag off of the frame I had a perfect solid lightweight frame

50
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:02,840
I got the straps for another 20 bucks from Home Depot and some spare waste

51
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,959
rubber tube from tan for free 45 bucks

52
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:10,079
all in and with some more time spent deal shopping and thinking of your own

53
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:12,640
creative ways to mount your laptop it is

54
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:16,880
possible that you could get even lower overall none of this was that hard I

55
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:21,079
spent a bunch of time planning out the best possible way to mount everything

56
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:26,840
looking up thermal properties of different materials online and what not

57
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,639
then I finally went to Home Depot to grab some gear to get it done and

58
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:36,600
thought hey what about straps like like pickup

59
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:39,840
trucks and that solution worked perfectly well and was Far easier than

60
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,560
what I was actually thinking of doing so just head out to the local store

61
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,560
junkyard get inspired and get her done it's not that big of a deal now the

62
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:51,080
reason I chose to do this with a laptop instead of various desktop components

63
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:55,120
wasn't actually the difference in difficulty it would have still been

64
00:04:53,039 --> 00:05:00,199
doable but I just didn't feel like it was actually a compromise the percentage

65
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:02,960
of people buying gaming capable laptops

66
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:09,080
is increasing at a surprising rate in no small part due to their performance even

67
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,280
this last generation Acer Predator X17

68
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:17,400
has a high performance Intel Core i7

69
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:22,160
6820hk a desktop grade 980 dual 256 GB

70
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:24,720
ssds in raid zero 32 gigs of ddr4 memory

71
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:29,120
and more including an air vent layout that worked perfectly for this setup not

72
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:34,000
to mention that for somebody that already has one of these laptops 45

73
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:39,360
bucks isn't too much to invest in order to be able to swap quickly between a VR

74
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,960
backpack experience and the normal laptop experience that you're used to

75
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:49,160
now I know this video isn't going to get a million views and I also understand

76
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:56,520
that it probably doesn't deserve it the internet currently is fueled by hype

77
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,000
drama and memes and this video contains

78
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,919
none of those sometimes I just feel obligated to to make a video where I

79
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:08,080
show that it really isn't that hard to just create something of your own I'm

80
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,880
actually rather proud of this rickety little bag it's mine I was the one that

81
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:19,000
made sure it matched the standard lonus Tech tips orange and black colors I was

82
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:24,599
the one that scared the nice lady while picking up the Magnesium aluminum alloy

83
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,880
frame and I was the one that thought to

84
00:06:24,599 --> 00:06:30,759
use the strapping I like to think of this project as a reflection of me it's

85
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:35,560
not perfect but I'd like to think that it's very functional and I'd like you to

86
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:41,599
go out and create something that is a reflection of you send a picture or

87
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:45,160
video of it to me at Linus and tag me if

88
00:06:41,599 --> 00:06:48,720
you want to reply at lukor LFR and by

89
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:51,199
this I do not mean just a collection of

90
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:56,199
computer parts that you happen to plug into each other I'm sure most of you

91
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:02,960
watching are sufficient enough at electrical Lego to get that done now go

92
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:04,520
make something cool and make it for you

93
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,680
just let me know about it thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you

94
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:15,599
know what to do you can dislike it but um LT backpack man will be very sad if

95
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,560
you do that because um I don't I don't know where I'm going with this like the

96
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:24,960
video if you liked it subscribe if you liked it as well if you want to buy

97
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,560
something uh uh a laptop there we go

102
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,879
available anymore but you know that's cool whatever if you want to see another

103
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:53,240
video check out this one where I turn an old computer case into a test bench also

104
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,240
pretty cool
