00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.320
people tend to treat building high-end computers like creating a sculpture the

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.200
construction is slow and meticulous time

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:17.160
is taken ensuring that every individual cable is roted and managed perfectly

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:21.920
Investments are made not only in their cuttingedge Hardware but also in things

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:26.880
that offer little to no performance Improvement like beautiful brushed

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:30.800
aluminum and tempered glass from their Superior components to their fine

00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:35.920
craftsmanship to they seemingly cult-like Community it's easy to

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:41.680
understand the passion and like sculptures the best personal computers

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

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:53.480
PC it has rubber tubing like the International Space Station it has

00:00:50.760 --> 00:01:00.120
strapping like a pickup truck it has a magnesium aluminum alloy frame like an

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:03.640
F1 car it mounts to your back like like

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:06.400
a jetpack it features an AC to DC

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:11.439
voltage converted power delivery system like the cray supercomputer and it

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.640
features dual exhaust ports like an F-16

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.240
fighter jet the LT Edition VR backpack

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.040
may just be the most revolutionary closest to falling apart piece of

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:24.680
technology ever pulled out of a Craigslist ad

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:37.560
the be quiet! dark based Pro 900 modular design supports a variety of different

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.920
layouts and configurations click on the link in the video description to learn

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

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:52.280
channel and Corbin Goodwin for their awesome video the zero given RX7 which

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:57.479
inspired the intro to this video Corbin's car is badass go check it out

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:02.119
now getting back on topic why did we make a VR backpack it's actually rather

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

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:13.160
backpack that we checked out from aorus in January at CES this year is vaporware

00:02:11.239 --> 00:02:17.599
and the same is true for the Zotac VR backpack that was showcased at computex

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:22.480
this year and while MSI has announced their VR1 backpack and I've heard

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:26.360
through the grape find that a certain space fairing organization that rhymes

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.720
with Bessa H anyways they're going to use it

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:37.560
for immersive training of their astronauts which is very cool and that

00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:39.959
also is not available yet so if you want

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:45.000
to solve the problem with the long cable that runs between the headset and the

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:50.120
computer also known as the tether coming up with something yourself is the only

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:54.400
way lonus had one idea but while he lightened the cable itself he ended up

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:59.239
wearing a backpack full of electronics so large and heavy that many of you

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:03.840
wondered if he wouldn't be better off just you know putting the Computing

00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:08.920
device on his back directly this doesn't remove the tether but it will remove any

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:14.360
issues with the tether as you just need to Cable manage it from well your back

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:19.519
so I set out to do this as cost effectively as possible without

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.640
compromising on the experience I started

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:27.000
with a proper hiking style backpack frame with a waist Buckle the weight

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.439
mitigation is really not a big deal this

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:34.000
thing with all this Hardware weighs less than the bag I used to carry around

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:39.840
school with just textbooks in it but as with many things the most important

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.680
reason is cost I got this backpack for

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:48.280
25 bucks off Craigslist from a lady who seemed like she would have rather had

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.879
anyone come pick it up other than me

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:56.560
after removing the bag off of the frame I had a perfect solid lightweight frame

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:02.840
I got the straps for another 20 bucks from Home Depot and some spare waste

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.959
rubber tube from tan for free 45 bucks

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:10.079
all in and with some more time spent deal shopping and thinking of your own

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:12.640
creative ways to mount your laptop it is

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:16.880
possible that you could get even lower overall none of this was that hard I

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:21.079
spent a bunch of time planning out the best possible way to mount everything

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:26.840
looking up thermal properties of different materials online and what not

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:30.639
then I finally went to Home Depot to grab some gear to get it done and

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:36.600
thought hey what about straps like like pickup

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:39.840
trucks and that solution worked perfectly well and was Far easier than

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.560
what I was actually thinking of doing so just head out to the local store

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

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:51.080
reason I chose to do this with a laptop instead of various desktop components

00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:55.120
wasn't actually the difference in difficulty it would have still been

00:04:53.039 --> 00:05:00.199
doable but I just didn't feel like it was actually a compromise the percentage

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.960
of people buying gaming capable laptops

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:09.080
is increasing at a surprising rate in no small part due to their performance even

00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:12.280
this last generation Acer Predator X17

00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:17.400
has a high performance Intel Core i7

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:22.160
6820hk a desktop grade 980 dual 256 GB

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:24.720
ssds in raid zero 32 gigs of ddr4 memory

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:29.120
and more including an air vent layout that worked perfectly for this setup not

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:34.000
to mention that for somebody that already has one of these laptops 45

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

00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:42.960
backpack experience and the normal laptop experience that you're used to

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

00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:56.520
that it probably doesn't deserve it the internet currently is fueled by hype

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:59.000
drama and memes and this video contains

00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:02.919
none of those sometimes I just feel obligated to to make a video where I

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

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:13.880
actually rather proud of this rickety little bag it's mine I was the one that

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:19.000
made sure it matched the standard lonus Tech tips orange and black colors I was

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:24.599
the one that scared the nice lady while picking up the Magnesium aluminum alloy

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.880
frame and I was the one that thought to

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

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

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:41.599
go out and create something that is a reflection of you send a picture or

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:45.160
video of it to me at Linus and tag me if

00:06:41.599 --> 00:06:48.720
you want to reply at lukor LFR and by

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:51.199
this I do not mean just a collection of

00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:56.199
computer parts that you happen to plug into each other I'm sure most of you

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:02.960
watching are sufficient enough at electrical Lego to get that done now go

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:04.520
make something cool and make it for you

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:08.680
just let me know about it thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you

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

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

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

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.560
something uh uh a laptop there we go

00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:31.319
check out the Amazon Link in the video description down below also discuss how

00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:35.199
terrible my creation was on the Forum the LTD Community Forum they're great

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:39.080
over there um and in the description down below you can buy a t-shirt not

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:42.479
this one but like ones that are like this one I just don't think this one's

00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:46.879
available anymore but you know that's cool whatever if you want to see another

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

00:07:49.960 --> 00:07:53.240
pretty cool
