1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,040 so if you've been following the exploits of Linus Media Group for any extended 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,480 period of time there's a good chance you've come across this tour of our 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:14,820 previous headquarters as well as this series of videos chronicling our move 4 00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:16,800 into a larger more modern office but 5 00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:21,720 while we did make a video showing our editors upgrading their workstations for 6 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,619 the new editing Den we didn't aside from thanking NVIDIA for sending us Titan X's 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,060 for the new machines get into the specifics of all the other hardware and 8 00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,140 everything that goes around them and we've received a lot of requests to take 9 00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:38,219 a deeper dive into the hardware that our editors use to do their daily work so 10 00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:40,940 without further ado here we go 11 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:59,640 Corsair's RMI series power supplies feature premium components for great 12 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,359 performance with very low noise check out the link in the video description to 13 00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:09,540 learn more okay visitors come with me what we have to 14 00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:15,790 collect all of your peripherals yeah I call an

the best Christmas ever best it's not even Christmas Even better 61 00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:13,530 than that Christmas workouts 62 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,560 worth it 63 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,919 HD you on 650s sit on my lap a little 64 00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:21,919 longer Ed 65 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:29,820 foreign so we're putting up this wall decal 66 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:35,400 that's great it's only slightly less crooked than Dennis's Iron Man face 67 00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:42,479 mine's cooler we may have gone over budget yeah it's not the 90s what do you 68 00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:45,240 need a calendar for so 69 00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:50,639 fractal Josh got this done did you ask Kimberly Schultz if you could do an 70 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:55,560 unauthorized print I did not wow okay so 71 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:59,400 my order came in from uh dftbs 72 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:02,100 um I see Dennis has this weirdo it is 73 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:08,600 actually pretty cool but Linus said no desk ornaments okay all the stuff I 74 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,600 bought is all useless 75 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,780 no it's not literally no one has 76 00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:25,420 listened to anything I said about this and your desk is a mess 77 00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:27,180 if you check out this photograph 78 00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:32,819 because honestly every time I do makes 79 00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:37,860 me laugh someone someone else missed the memo about not having 80 00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:44,460 what else is that wall going to be creative I got the most things for my 81 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:44,460 money I think actually you did too yeah 82 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:52,080 so the first big upgrade from Need for seat USA as well as updesk.com is in the 83 00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:57,360 furniture department so everyone got office Comfort or Dominator chairs you 84 00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:02,880 can see that everyone's equipped with if they were listening the orange and black 85 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,880 versions of the aforementioned chairs but some people went and ordered black 86 00:07:04,259 --> 00:07:10,380 ones anyway it was supposed to all be orange and black for LTT and equipped 87 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:14,639 with a height adjustable desk so these are good for a couple of reasons number 88 00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:18,539 one is that they allow you to change to a standing height throughout the day if 89 00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:22,740 you just want to move around and get more comfortable you can see we've also 90 00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:26,819 got these mats from Costco so that your your heels and the balls of your feet 91 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,240 don't get fatigued from standing and then the other thing that they do is 92 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:35,340 they allow you to sit at a height that's most comfortable for you so you can see 93 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,560 that Dennis and Edsel both prefer very 94 00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:42,120 different heights even for their seating position so the other cool thing is that 95 00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:46,259 you can actually program different heights so you just hold it down and as 96 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,800 long long as there's no obstacles under the desk yeah we're good then boom this 97 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:53,639 is birkel's sitting height which is obviously not very comfortable for me 98 00:07:51,419 --> 00:07:57,180 but that's the whole point and everyone being a special case I guess leads us 99 00:07:55,500 --> 00:08:01,860 pretty well into taryn's workstation where the first thing you'll notice is you remove the armrest from his chair I 100 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:05,639 also like to scoot up as close to my desk as possible so that I can rest my 101 00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:08,580 arms on it rather than my ARM rest and the second thing you'll probably notice 102 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:13,979 is that he has three monitors unlike everyone else in the company who was 103 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:17,520 just fine with two 31 inch 4K monitors 104 00:08:13,979 --> 00:08:19,379 so LG kindly provided one extra monitor 105 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:25,500 for Taran to put scripts or whatever else on but most people are equipped 106 00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:29,879 with two 31 mu-97 monitors these are 107 00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:33,120 true 4K monitors so they're 4096 by 2160 108 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:35,099 not Ultra HD they feature 10-bit panels 109 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,300 they've got height adjust the actually the full range of ergonomic adjustments 110 00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:43,800 that we need and what's really cool about them is they actually have support 111 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:47,399 for not only srgb color space which frankly is all we're using for 112 00:08:45,420 --> 00:08:52,980 publishing to the web anyway but also 99.5 coverage of adobe RGB and even 113 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,820 support for DCI so if we were ever to you know do something where it's like 114 00:08:55,140 --> 00:09:01,320 yeah we need to do this as if it's going to be shown in a movie theater then we 115 00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:05,040 would actually have the capability to do that neat little accessory that goes 116 00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:09,240 with it is actually these little x-rite i1 display Pros so these allow us to 117 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,820 calibrate the monitors as well as monitor ambient light so that they can 118 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,700 adapt to different ambient light in the room although it doesn't really change 119 00:09:15,779 --> 00:09:23,760 much so that you're always getting the best color accuracy possible 120 00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:25,560 foreign next up we've got our 121 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,000 peripherals so everyone was using just a mishmash of random stuff back at the old 122 00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:33,360 office Logitech stepped up and offered to provide us with whatever keyboards we 123 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:39,180 wanted so you'll find a healthy mix of g710 pluses for those who prefer the 124 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:41,880 Cherry MX experience and Orion spark G9 125 00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:48,180 TENS for those who prefer the Roamer G experience and mice now a lot of people 126 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:52,320 wanted MX Masters Brandon's the only one who got one of those unfortunately but 127 00:09:50,459 --> 00:09:56,820 the good news is that logitech's gaming mice whether it's the g402 or the g502 128 00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:01,200 which is what most of the others opted for offer great tracking and of course 129 00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:04,500 very good performance and ergonomics as well they're just not wireless although 130 00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:08,760 Brandon doesn't seem to be using the wireless functionality of the MX Master 131 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:13,200 anyway for the rest of the peripherals we actually love these desk mats from 132 00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:17,700 steelseries these are great because it means you can have as much or as little 133 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:21,420 actual mouse pad as you want you can also throw them in the washing machine 134 00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:26,640 something this one probably needs if you ever need to clean them and these were a 135 00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:31,080 nice addition as well so in the past no one really had microphones at their 136 00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:34,680 desks but Razer sent us siren Elites for everyone's workstations and we use them 137 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,899 for all kinds of stuff whether it's recording those clever voiceovers at the 138 00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:43,560 end of next time on scrapyard Wars or even creating sound effects at our desk 139 00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:46,519 something that happens more often than you'd probably think 140 00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:57,240 thank you that's too much finally everyone got 141 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:02,519 their audio upgraded as well most people were using some mix of different gaming 142 00:11:00,839 --> 00:11:07,079 headsets that we had left over from reviews now everyone's using something 143 00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:13,200 from Sennheiser whether it's an hd6 mix hd8 DJ or even some people opted for 144 00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:16,140 their audiophile series HD 600s or HD 145 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:21,240 650s and of course for some of those headphones we had to go ahead and 146 00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:23,040 upgrade our audio source so audio 147 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:30,300 yes that is actually the name of the company if you haven't heard of them before sent us stack twos so magni 148 00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:32,399 2 and Modi 2 DAC and amps for every one 149 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:36,959 of our editors to power their new headphones 150 00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:42,180 which leads us to the towers now we didn't change that much we did add those 151 00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:47,579 aforementioned Titan X graphics cards but we're still using the same 4960x 152 00:11:44,339 --> 00:11:49,620 extreme Edition 6 cores uh 32 gigs of 153 00:11:47,579 --> 00:11:54,959 Kingston memory unless you're Ed he's got a 12 core Xeon and 64 gigs of hyperx 154 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:59,399 memory but you know whatever he's just a boss apparently a couple people have 155 00:11:56,940 --> 00:12:04,740 quadros for doing color work uh everyone's got Kingston KC series ssds 156 00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:08,519 Cooler Master v750 power supplies no the only things we really changed were the 157 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:12,899 coolers where we went with their new gemin 2 coolers as well as the cases so 158 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:16,980 we switched over to silencio series cases because what we discovered is that 159 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,880 while the intention with whole room water cooling was actually to overclock 160 00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:24,180 the workstations um now that we don't render on the 161 00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:29,160 workstations anyway quiet and consistent long-term reliable 162 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:33,060 operation is more of a focus so we went back to air cooling which has fewer 163 00:12:30,779 --> 00:12:36,720 points of failure and we went with cases that had noise dampening material built 164 00:12:35,220 --> 00:12:40,800 into the inside so that the office environment except when people are 165 00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:47,220 talking or filming in it is really really quiet 166 00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:48,600 which leads us to our last demo if I 167 00:12:47,220 --> 00:12:51,360 could get the camera focusing its attention on Brandon's system 168 00:12:51,360 --> 00:13:00,959 Boop what's all this then ah yes General 169 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:03,720 Electric kitted us out with 2 000 volt 170 00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:08,820 amp UPS units for every single workstation meaning that even in the 171 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:13,079 event of a power outage not only our server room but also the individual 172 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,639 workstations of our editors are protected and will continue to run on 173 00:13:14,940 --> 00:13:22,800 battery power for quite some time like in excess of 20 minutes giving us time 174 00:13:20,339 --> 00:13:26,700 to save our work correctly you know even if Premiere is being a bit of a butt 175 00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:31,620 head or whatever else back up all the data to where it needs to go and shut 176 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:34,560 down the systems correctly a very very 177 00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:39,660 important thing to be able to do so that's pretty much it while I think we 178 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,700 can all agree that uh my team and I 179 00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:46,680 struggled during the move and shortly after the move to maintain our usual 180 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:49,079 standard of quality with the content I 181 00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:53,519 really feel like we've finally found our stride and the content that you guys are 182 00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:57,660 looking at now reflects not only the outer space that we have to work in but 183 00:13:55,500 --> 00:14:04,200 also the better equipment that we have in order to create our videos 184 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:09,420 so all that's left now is to thank our sponsor Dollar Shave Club who actually 185 00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:13,560 this it was not planned but incidentally 186 00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:15,120 was the sponsor of our last office tour 187 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:20,820 back when we were at the old place the one I referred to at the beginning so if you're not sure what Dollar Shave Club 188 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:25,560 is guys it's the club where you join for well not dollar but a 189 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,180 few dollars just a few dollars a month where you can shave your face prepare 190 00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:34,200 your face for shaving put stuff on your face that smells nice after you're done 191 00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:39,839 shaving and wipe your butt yes

look like they go out of their house 194 00:14:43,860 --> 00:14:52,019 without actually going to the store finding someone to open up the stupid 195 00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:54,959 unfathomably why does this exist cage that store I mean I know why they exist 196 00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:59,100 it's because people steal them but people wouldn't steal the razor blades 197 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,880 and cartridges if they weren't so freaking expensive so anyway Dollar 198 00:15:00,839 --> 00:15:06,959 Shave Club solves all those problems by making it easier to get them and cheaper 199 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,860 they just show up at your door you shave you look nice you wipe your butt you 200 00:15:08,579 --> 00:15:15,959 smell nice on your butt I mean if that's a factor for you
