00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:06.260
If you've ever bought something from lttstore.com,

00:00:06.260 --> 00:00:07.340
there's a good chance you've met

00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:09.420
our customer care supervisor, Adam.

00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:14.140
He's positive, thorough, and a venomous backstabbing snake.

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:17.000
There's a lot of great choices in this tech makeover.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.240
I like this.

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:19.520
Where did you get these?

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:22.240
And these are a great choice.

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:25.220
AMD hooked up Adam with a $5,000 budget.

00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:28.260
And I gotta say, he has spent it extremely wisely.

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:29.920
If you were following along from home,

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.000
looking for inspiration for your own setup,

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.000
you'd end up with something that is A-tier,

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.100
a great value, and promotes AMD's technologies.

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:40.500
What more could he do?

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.920
Well, he could consider me a non-LTT desk pad.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.220
Can't even drink your own Kool-Aid?

00:00:46.220 --> 00:00:47.300
I'm not using that.

00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:51.220
Secret Lab hooked me up, but I got that behind you.

00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:52.360
Oh, thank goodness.

00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:54.380
Well, okay, that's great,

00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:57.160
but it does kind of kill the rest of this intro for me.

00:00:57.160 --> 00:00:59.580
You know what, we're gonna do it anyway.

00:00:59.580 --> 00:01:01.240
To rebuild our trust,

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:01.940
we're gonna do a

00:01:01.940 --> 00:01:03.480
roll reversal exercise,

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:06.400
where it's my job to bend over backwards

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.040
and make sure you're happy today.

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.160
Whatever you say, I gotta do it,

00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:13.320
which might be a nice little change of pace for you.

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:26.630
I have some ideas.

00:01:26.630 --> 00:01:29.630
We're back again with another AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade.

00:01:29.630 --> 00:01:31.790
And a new video means a brand new chance

00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:33.890
to win some great goodies from AMD.

00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:35.770
It's basically a tradition at this point.

00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:39.190
This time, they're giving away two Steam Decks.

00:01:39.190 --> 00:01:40.950
You probably know what a Steam Deck is by now,

00:01:40.950 --> 00:01:43.130
but if you don't, it's a handheld gaming device,

00:01:43.130 --> 00:01:44.370
with a simple interface

00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:46.110
for you to access your Steam library,

00:01:46.110 --> 00:01:47.830
and a battery that's designed to last

00:01:47.830 --> 00:01:49.970
throughout those extended on-the-go gaming sessions.

00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:54.950
And it's powered by an AMD Zen CPU and AMD RDNA graphics

00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:58.230
that provide high-definition gaming, even on a handheld.

00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:00.310
So head over to our Twitter to enter the giveaway

00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:03.910
for a chance to win your very own new and shiny Steam Deck.

00:02:03.910 --> 00:02:06.470
Thanks again to AMD for sponsoring this series.

00:02:06.470 --> 00:02:07.850
I'm sure you're excited to tell us

00:02:07.850 --> 00:02:09.790
about some of the retro consoles you scored,

00:02:09.790 --> 00:02:12.970
but before that happens, we have to do the obligatory, um,

00:02:12.970 --> 00:02:15.930
poke-around-in-your-space-a-little-bit-make-you-uncomfortable.

00:02:15.930 --> 00:02:18.210
Sure.

00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:20.960
He looks uncomfortable.

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.080
So you're Big Swifty, right?

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.780
No, that would be my wife.

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:26.000
Mm-hmm, sure.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.300
Then how do you explain this Taylor Swift clock

00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:31.080
in your office?

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:32.900
This is your computer, isn't it?

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:35.820
Yes, but this is my wife's computer over here.

00:02:35.820 --> 00:02:37.320
Wow, she has a way better setup than you.

00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:38.160
I know.

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:40.840
I've neglected it quite, quite a lot

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.020
in favor of giving her a good enough setup

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:45.280
that she feels compelled to game with me.

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.120
You know?

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.940
Wow, I was gonna say gentlemen move.

00:02:49.940 --> 00:02:51.780
Gentlemen like a fox.

00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:53.660
Yeah, it's very clear to me who gets the budget

00:02:53.660 --> 00:02:55.560
for cool stuff in this household.

00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.660
But no longer will your setup be neglected.

00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:00.920
This is amazing.

00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:04.560
We've gone with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D,

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.240
just about the fastest gaming CPU money can buy.

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.160
This chip is such a great choice for gaming.

00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:12.200
I mean, sure, compared to AMD's top-of-the-line consumer chip,

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:15.540
it has half as many cores, but that's eight cores,

00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:18.340
16 threads still, and it has 3DV cache,

00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.820
which contributes significantly to gaming performance.

00:03:21.820 --> 00:03:23.820
And of course, it supports all the latest technologies

00:03:23.820 --> 00:03:26.520
like PCI Express Gen 5 and DDR5.

00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.960
You've gone with a 7900XTX,

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.580
which is the top-of-the-line 24 gigs of VRAM.

00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:37.680
And I love this, a practical supporting cast.

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.640
If you don't need the extra features of X670E,

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:41.600
a B650 is gonna perform well.

00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:43.680
It is gonna perform the same for you.

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.800
I can't wait to build this machine,

00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:46.640
or rather I can,

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:48.560
because I want to check out those retro consoles real quick.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.500
We've got the N64, got the M Classic upscaling cable,

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.860
which works way better than you would probably expect.

00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:57.360
We did a video on it a while back.

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.060
And then there's a couple that are kind of wrapped up here.

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:01.260
What am I looking at right here?

00:04:01.260 --> 00:04:03.260
Yeah, so this is a Wii we scored

00:04:03.260 --> 00:04:06.380
at a thrift shop near here for like $30.

00:04:06.380 --> 00:04:09.360
It's literally worth it just for the Wiimotes alone,

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.100
considering what those are typically worth.

00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:12.920
I was still stuck on Wii Wii scored,

00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:15.000
but yeah, go ahead.

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.340
Another thrift shop find.

00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:19.920
This was in a Goodwill down in Linwood, Washington.

00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.800
When I bought this, it was $40 USD,

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.860
and it had Mario Kart Devil Dash inside of it already.

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:27.760
Wow, that is flipping awesome.

00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:29.740
Only one small problem.

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:31.000
This is full already.

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:31.840
That's okay.

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:34.150
We have a solution.

00:04:34.150 --> 00:04:36.070
Oh, cool, the back of a console.

00:04:38.030 --> 00:04:39.450
One moment, please.

00:04:39.450 --> 00:04:41.820
Ooh.

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:42.960
Woo, nice.

00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:44.480
Ooh, I like it.

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.960
An open front for better airflow.

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:47.920
Is that wire?

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.620
No, it's just, it was cheap.

00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:51.220
Fun fact, I'm not the only one

00:04:51.220 --> 00:04:52.520
who's at your beck and call today.

00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:53.640
Colin will also be helping,

00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:56.520
and he's going to get this out of here

00:04:56.520 --> 00:04:57.720
and the new one in place

00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.460
while we get started building the PC.

00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:00.300
Woo.

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:01.360
We can do it out in the kitchen.

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.200
That's what he said.

00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:05.020
Okay, you know what?

00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:06.360
Let's not use any of that.

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.120
Maybe it'll make it into a Floatplane exclusive,

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.840
LMG.gg slash Floatplane.

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:13.080
The point is, Adam, where do you wanna build this computer?

00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:16.320
This, no offense, is a very small desk.

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:17.980
There's plenty of space in the kitchen.

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:19.840
David, would you believe this is the first time

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:21.640
I built a computer in a kitchen?

00:05:21.640 --> 00:05:23.140
I, no, that's not true.

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.520
It's the best place to build a computer.

00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:27.840
There's always counter space.

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:31.140
It's supposed to be clean.

00:05:31.140 --> 00:05:33.480
At least you pretend to have not gamer hygiene

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:34.360
when I come to your house.

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.840
Some people had some gamer hygiene going on.

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:38.200
Try to make it look lived in,

00:05:38.200 --> 00:05:40.840
but not too spick and span, you know?

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:41.960
Yeah, I mean, Riley.

00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:42.960
I mean, clearly nobody lived there.

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:46.420
I realized something just now.

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:48.840
You haven't actually instructed me to build the computer,

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.600
so what is it that you want me doing?

00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:51.680
That's a good question.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.160
I mean, I don't get to build computers very often,

00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:55.140
and I love doing it,

00:05:55.140 --> 00:05:57.600
so I like to take the lead here for sure.

00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.840
Feel free to advise me.

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:01.560
I mean, we got the master here, so.

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.400
Yes, sir.

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:03.740
When's the last time you built a computer?

00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:06.640
Oh, God, like back in 2016, I think.

00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:10.360
I put a RX 480 in that bad boy way back in the day,

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:11.520
right when it first came out.

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:12.360
It was supposed to be $200,

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.820
but it ended up being more like 250,

00:06:14.820 --> 00:06:17.480
because that was when the whole mining explosion happened.

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.120
That mining wave, yeah.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:19.960
The first one.

00:06:19.960 --> 00:06:20.920
Yeah, not this time.

00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.180
We thought that was as bad as it could get.

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:25.580
It was not, ladies and gentlemen.

00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:27.220
First thing I usually do is the CPU,

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:29.700
so might as well get the hard out of the way first.

00:06:29.700 --> 00:06:33.160
I am going for primo customer service today.

00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:34.700
Your CPU, sir.

00:06:34.700 --> 00:06:36.540
Oh, boy, you think I can do it?

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:38.620
I mean, if you can take care of some of the demands

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:40.960
that reach our inbox, I'm sure you can handle this.

00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:42.020
I love our customers.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:43.200
I do.

00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:45.640
I usually do the RAM next, so why don't we do that?

00:06:45.640 --> 00:06:47.220
Very wise, sir.

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:51.580
We've gone with DDR5-6000 at CL32.

00:06:51.580 --> 00:06:56.840
This is pretty much the sweet spot for seventh gen Ryzen,

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:58.860
and you've got 32 gigs of RAM,

00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:00.320
which is enough for gaming today,

00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:01.500
enough for gaming tomorrow.

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:03.260
I can't speak to the day after tomorrow,

00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:04.100
but it doesn't matter

00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:06.100
because I think the world freezes over or something.

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:06.940
Yep.

00:07:06.940 --> 00:07:09.380
Yes, that does happen in the famous documentary,

00:07:09.380 --> 00:07:10.600
The Day After Tomorrow.

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.420
Your salons are prepared, sir.

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:14.240
Oh, thank you, sir.

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.630
Look at that, it's like I've done this before.

00:07:18.630 --> 00:07:21.210
Your M.2 standoff, sir.

00:07:21.210 --> 00:07:23.510
I don't think it matters which slot we're using

00:07:23.510 --> 00:07:27.130
because Adam, being wise, has gone with a Gen 4 drive

00:07:27.130 --> 00:07:29.830
that uses high quality NAND, a WD Black,

00:07:29.830 --> 00:07:32.230
but knowing there's no performance benefit in games

00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:34.630
to Gen 5, which is why you chose this, right?

00:07:34.630 --> 00:07:35.470
Allegedly.

00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:38.390
Adam has chosen capacity with a two terabyte drive

00:07:38.390 --> 00:07:41.110
rather than speed, which means it doesn't matter

00:07:41.110 --> 00:07:42.710
which of your M.2 slots we use.

00:07:42.710 --> 00:07:44.550
That's where I was getting at with all of this.

00:07:44.550 --> 00:07:46.650
Yeah, let's see the one with the heat sink,

00:07:46.650 --> 00:07:47.750
just for funsies.

00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:49.190
Adam, you're a very different person than I.

00:07:49.190 --> 00:07:51.250
I would have Linus do everything.

00:07:51.250 --> 00:07:53.430
I would bring out a Swiffer.

00:07:53.430 --> 00:07:56.670
No, I actually love doing this, so, you know.

00:07:56.670 --> 00:07:58.750
And he had me paint his basement.

00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:00.870
You know, I could just put on a little maid outfit

00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:02.350
and start cleaning, except that, like,

00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:04.110
the place doesn't really need it.

00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:07.330
So, yeah, I'll just stand here and look pretty.

00:08:07.330 --> 00:08:08.170
Okay.

00:08:10.090 --> 00:08:12.450
Did your last rig even use NVMe?

00:08:12.710 --> 00:08:13.550
No.

00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:14.850
2016, yeah.

00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:15.690
Yeah.

00:08:15.690 --> 00:08:17.730
Is this the first time you've done an M.2 drive?

00:08:17.730 --> 00:08:20.810
Well, I did it in my wife's computer when I built that,

00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:23.790
but, you know, this is the first time I've done it for me.

00:08:23.790 --> 00:08:25.790
Wait, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

00:08:25.790 --> 00:08:27.550
Okay, all right, I do have to interfere.

00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:29.510
We probably haven't broken it, probably.

00:08:30.810 --> 00:08:32.890
Whoops, well, that might have.

00:08:32.890 --> 00:08:36.110
So, this is a cool little tool-less mechanism.

00:08:36.110 --> 00:08:37.910
Ah, I see what's going on.

00:08:37.910 --> 00:08:39.150
Yeah, go ahead and screw that in,

00:08:39.150 --> 00:08:41.430
and then, no, no, no, no, you just leave that alone for now.

00:08:41.430 --> 00:08:42.470
He's recovering.

00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:43.550
Okay.

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:46.740
Don't worry, you're doing great.

00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:48.960
So then, now, all you do is you just

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.260
flippy-doodle this little plastic thing.

00:08:51.260 --> 00:08:52.800
I was wondering what the plastic thing was for.

00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:54.740
Yeah, it was to help you.

00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:55.640
That's new, right?

00:08:55.640 --> 00:08:58.140
It's not, I'm not crazy,

00:08:58.140 --> 00:08:59.400
because that wasn't a thing

00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:00.560
the last time I built one of these.

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:03.160
It's pretty new, yeah, okay, go ahead and try again.

00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:07.040
Put down the screwdriver.

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:07.880
Wow.

00:09:07.880 --> 00:09:08.720
Perfect, flawless.

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.720
Hey, that's nice.

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:10.840
Yeah, with no do-overs.

00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.340
It's nice when you know that it's a thing.

00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:14.180
Heat sink.

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:16.080
Got the peel.

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.900
Love it.

00:09:16.900 --> 00:09:18.640
You guys ever whisper sweet nothings

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:20.340
at the plastic that you're peeling?

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:21.180
No.

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:22.000
Does anyone not?

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:22.840
Oh.

00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.600
We seem to be divided on this issue.

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.040
What do you mean, sweet nothings?

00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:27.060
You have to.

00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:27.900
Colin.

00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:31.400
Who are you people?

00:09:31.400 --> 00:09:33.160
Do we wanna plug in the power supply

00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:36.780
and do a cute little test boot?

00:09:36.780 --> 00:09:39.320
I think you're the first to suggest that.

00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.060
It's a very good idea.

00:09:41.060 --> 00:09:41.900
Let's do it.

00:09:41.900 --> 00:09:43.500
I feel like I'm the only one

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:46.240
that actually follows your advice.

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.700
Paul's advice, Bitwit's advice.

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:51.480
Paul's advice, sure, but Bitwit's advice,

00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.860
he's got that Lyle guy on the channel.

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:54.700
You gotta be careful.

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:55.860
That's true, that's true.

00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:57.060
Actually, if we were really smart

00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:58.360
and followed all of my advice,

00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:00.020
we would have done this earlier.

00:10:00.020 --> 00:10:02.520
Had the power supply here, plugged into ground

00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:03.600
so that we could ground ourself

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.560
before handling any of our sensitive components.

00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:06.400
I suppose that's true.

00:10:06.400 --> 00:10:10.200
With that said, the humidity is extremely high right now.

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.760
We're not on a carpet.

00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:14.420
My concern level is extremely low,

00:10:14.420 --> 00:10:16.180
especially after that collab with Electro,

00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:17.720
boom, boom, boom, where he showed how hard it is

00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:18.740
to kill a component with that.

00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:20.360
Oh yeah, that was very informative.

00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.840
I'm sorry, it's automatic.

00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.140
I just, computer stuff appears in front of me

00:10:24.140 --> 00:10:25.500
and I start assembling it.

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:26.440
I'll just, I'll be ready.

00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.860
Wait, sorry, I need a more butlery posture.

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:30.800
Colin, can you come over here and just slap his hand

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:32.200
anytime he reaches for a computer?

00:10:43.550 --> 00:10:46.170
Meanwhile, over here, Colin has cleared this bookshelf

00:10:46.170 --> 00:10:48.810
and securely anchored it to the...

00:10:48.810 --> 00:10:50.090
No, he has unanchored it.

00:10:50.090 --> 00:10:51.570
I remember the details now.

00:10:52.450 --> 00:10:53.810
Good work, thanks.

00:10:53.810 --> 00:10:55.450
And this is a great time to talk about

00:10:55.450 --> 00:10:57.070
how we're gonna get networking

00:10:57.070 --> 00:10:59.110
over to the media console here.

00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:02.950
You could run a wire, but running wires all over the place,

00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:04.890
not really the vibe I'm getting in this place.

00:11:04.890 --> 00:11:06.850
So how about you use Powerline?

00:11:06.850 --> 00:11:10.750
It uses your power lines in your walls to run networking.

00:11:10.750 --> 00:11:13.510
And while it's not gonna do the two gigabits

00:11:13.510 --> 00:11:16.530
that they claim here, that's very theoretical,

00:11:16.530 --> 00:11:19.350
it'll be fast enough and most importantly,

00:11:19.350 --> 00:11:22.430
predictably low latency enough to be great for gaming.

00:11:22.450 --> 00:11:25.210
Wait, isn't that the router right there?

00:11:25.210 --> 00:11:26.930
Doesn't the networking come out here?

00:11:26.930 --> 00:11:27.770
Oh.

00:11:27.770 --> 00:11:30.030
So it's a great way to get networking,

00:11:30.030 --> 00:11:33.370
low latency gaming to your PC in the other room.

00:11:33.370 --> 00:11:35.220
What's that, Colin?

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:37.400
Oh, I see.

00:11:37.400 --> 00:11:40.960
So you're worried that because of the shape of this plug,

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.400
these aren't gonna both fit at the same time.

00:11:43.400 --> 00:11:44.240
That's okay.

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.920
This particular Powerline adapter has a pass-through,

00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:50.100
so we can do the full 15 amps of this circuit

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:51.980
just through it.

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:55.120
And as long as we don't put any really gross,

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.140
noisy devices on the circuit,

00:11:57.140 --> 00:11:59.360
it shouldn't interfere too much with our networking.

00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.540
And I'm not worried about the overall power

00:12:01.540 --> 00:12:03.440
because this is retro consoles.

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:08.410
I didn't even see like a new Xbox or PlayStation.

00:12:08.410 --> 00:12:09.910
No, I'm allowed to unbox things.

00:12:09.910 --> 00:12:11.070
I'm allowed to unbox things.

00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:14.190
See, the thing is I understand theoretically

00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:15.190
how to do all of this,

00:12:15.190 --> 00:12:18.370
but because I don't do it nearly as often as you,

00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:19.470
it's just not automatic.

00:12:19.470 --> 00:12:20.950
Yeah, no, no, I get it, I get it.

00:12:20.950 --> 00:12:22.830
We all saw that when you were doing the SSD.

00:12:22.830 --> 00:12:24.290
Yeah, yeah, I know.

00:12:25.950 --> 00:12:28.370
What the crap?

00:12:28.370 --> 00:12:30.490
GPUs have actually reached the point

00:12:30.490 --> 00:12:32.670
where they are comically large.

00:12:32.670 --> 00:12:34.010
Oh, geez.

00:12:34.010 --> 00:12:35.810
This looks novelty-sized.

00:12:35.810 --> 00:12:37.830
Look at it compared to the motherboard.

00:12:37.830 --> 00:12:39.150
It dwarfs it.

00:12:39.150 --> 00:12:42.510
Look at it compared to a totally normal-sized human hand.

00:12:42.510 --> 00:12:43.490
That's what my wife tells me.

00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:46.310
I have to say that's a lot bigger than even I was expecting,

00:12:46.310 --> 00:12:49.110
so it'll fit, probably.

00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:51.070
Let's hope.

00:12:51.070 --> 00:12:52.550
AMD's X3D chips don't come

00:12:52.550 --> 00:12:53.510
with the cooler in the box,

00:12:53.510 --> 00:12:55.590
because the assumption is that you're going to want them

00:12:55.590 --> 00:12:58.010
to boost as high as possible

00:12:58.010 --> 00:12:59.810
with their precision boost overdrive,

00:12:59.810 --> 00:13:00.990
and if you want it to do that,

00:13:00.990 --> 00:13:03.350
well, you're gonna need some decent cooling.

00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:06.930
You have gone so far beyond decent.

00:13:06.930 --> 00:13:08.990
This actually seems kind of extravagant,

00:13:08.990 --> 00:13:12.730
given how practical everything else has been so far.

00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:14.790
The nice thing is that I won it at a Christmas party

00:13:14.790 --> 00:13:16.410
instead of having to pay money for it.

00:13:16.410 --> 00:13:18.410
You've been holding this for,

00:13:18.410 --> 00:13:19.670
was this a year ago or two years ago?

00:13:19.670 --> 00:13:20.510
Two years ago.

00:13:20.510 --> 00:13:21.670
Two years, it's still brand new.

00:13:21.670 --> 00:13:22.510
It's brand new.

00:13:22.510 --> 00:13:23.330
Yeah.

00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:24.170
Just been waiting for,

00:13:24.170 --> 00:13:25.690
have you just been waiting for your upgrade?

00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:26.530
Oh, yeah.

00:13:26.530 --> 00:13:28.370
Playing long game, friends.

00:13:28.370 --> 00:13:30.800
Oh, no, Colin, what's happened?

00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:33.040
A cat has chewed through the cable.

00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:34.180
Actually, oh, wow.

00:13:35.300 --> 00:13:37.360
That is much worse than I,

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:43.220
oh, crud, it's the Wii U.

00:13:43.220 --> 00:13:47.570
We'll have to call the ambulance.

00:13:47.570 --> 00:13:50.490
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

00:13:50.490 --> 00:13:52.350
No soldering iron, no morets,

00:13:52.350 --> 00:13:54.550
but what I do have is enough tape and ingenuity.

00:13:54.550 --> 00:13:57.710
I'm gonna need some additional tape and ingenuity

00:13:57.710 --> 00:13:59.210
to get us limping along today

00:13:59.210 --> 00:14:02.530
until we can make a more permanent fix.

00:14:02.530 --> 00:14:06.750
This is definitely not my finest work.

00:14:06.750 --> 00:14:08.010
Is it a fire danger?

00:14:09.470 --> 00:14:14.560
It is probably not a fire hazard.

00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:17.020
Well, I had a dream last night

00:14:17.020 --> 00:14:20.180
about a ShortCircuit that caused a fire in my house.

00:14:22.020 --> 00:14:23.440
I'm not even joking.

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.340
Hey, hey, well, that's good.

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:26.180
What? What? What?

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:27.180
Oh yes.

00:14:27.180 --> 00:14:28.000
Of course.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.020
Which nuts?

00:14:29.020 --> 00:14:30.300
With these nuts.

00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:34.520
This is ready to go.

00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:35.360
Fantastic.

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.180
All we got to do is fire it up.

00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:38.020
Yeah.

00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:38.860
I guess we need a monitor.

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:40.400
Where do I put screw driver?

00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:41.220
Oh yeah.

00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:44.960
Just this is JFP, which is jumper front panel one.

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.320
And then you're going to want to do the top row.

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:48.160
The rightmost two.

00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:49.000
You want to bridge them.

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:49.840
Yeah.

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:50.680
There it is.

00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:51.520
Yeah, you're good.

00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:52.340
You can let go.

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:53.180
It's a momentary switch.

00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:55.210
So you just momentarily.

00:14:55.210 --> 00:14:56.620
Very good.

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:57.460
Hey.

00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:58.720
Hey.

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.560
Okay.

00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:00.400
Well, hey, that's great news.

00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:02.000
Now we can go ahead and move forward with the build.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.380
Keep them with the pragmatic theme.

00:15:03.380 --> 00:15:06.020
We've got the Phanteks G360A case.

00:15:06.020 --> 00:15:07.560
Three RGB fans in the front.

00:15:07.560 --> 00:15:09.440
Got the tempered glass side panel.

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.380
Reasonable price, about 125 bucks.

00:15:12.380 --> 00:15:15.060
So nice case, but not overkill.

00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:18.380
And tons of airflow.

00:15:18.380 --> 00:15:20.660
It actually came with the standoffs pre-installed,

00:15:20.660 --> 00:15:21.500
which is nice.

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:24.100
Yeah, it's very handy, but also risky

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:25.500
because if it comes with ones

00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:26.440
that don't match your motherboard,

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.120
then you can scratch the back of the board.

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:30.620
There you go.

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:31.800
Sick.

00:15:31.800 --> 00:15:33.540
I think I stole your screwdriver.

00:15:33.540 --> 00:15:34.380
Wait.

00:15:34.380 --> 00:15:35.220
Nope.

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:36.060
This one's mine.

00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:36.900
You know what?

00:15:36.900 --> 00:15:37.920
With Colin and Adam otherwise occupied,

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:41.080
I guess I'll just find this to do.

00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.820
Check this out.

00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:44.700
For our reigning frugality champion,

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:46.620
this is a pretty extravagant jet.

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:48.840
The Secretlab Magnus Pro.

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.640
A, has way more room for activities,

00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:53.660
like moving your mouse at all.

00:15:53.660 --> 00:15:55.460
And B, has all kinds of great features.

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.280
Built-in cable management.

00:15:56.280 --> 00:15:58.760
Built-in power distribution.

00:15:58.760 --> 00:16:00.700
It raises, it lowers.

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:03.560
He's got the add-on dual monitor ARM thing.

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:05.780
Let's see if I can move it into place myself.

00:16:05.780 --> 00:16:07.160
Well, okay, it's a little heavy.

00:16:07.160 --> 00:16:11.320
What exactly is our plan for input switching here?

00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.840
Cause we've got one M cable.

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.580
Oh, one of these.

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:18.080
Inputs one to four.

00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.320
All HDMI though.

00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.420
Do we have converters for the not HDMI consoles?

00:16:22.420 --> 00:16:24.200
Like, I don't know most of them.

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:25.140
All right, I get it.

00:16:25.140 --> 00:16:25.980
I get it.

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:27.100
They're right in front of me.

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:27.940
Fine.

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:29.320
Um, smart guys.

00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:30.160
Uh.

00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:31.990
What about N64 though?

00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:34.110
Yeah, what about the N64?

00:16:34.110 --> 00:16:38.290
Uh, there is little janky adapter that I have for that.

00:16:38.290 --> 00:16:39.130
Yeah.

00:16:39.130 --> 00:16:39.970
No, not that one.

00:16:39.970 --> 00:16:40.810
No!

00:16:41.770 --> 00:16:43.110
Wow, it's so light.

00:16:43.110 --> 00:16:45.330
A million RetroTINK owners just died.

00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:46.610
Yeah, I know.

00:16:46.610 --> 00:16:49.390
This is really cool.

00:16:49.390 --> 00:16:50.230
Terrible.

00:16:51.150 --> 00:16:53.110
Their sales pitch is a bit over the top.

00:16:53.110 --> 00:16:54.990
PC gamers are able to upgrade the graphics card.

00:16:54.990 --> 00:16:56.830
While console gamers have been limited by locked hardware.

00:16:57.230 --> 00:16:58.270
Many more.

00:16:58.270 --> 00:17:00.670
This is not a GPU upgrade for your console.

00:17:00.670 --> 00:17:03.150
But what it is, is a way to take older consoles

00:17:03.150 --> 00:17:06.630
and upscale them for modern displays in a pleasing,

00:17:06.630 --> 00:17:10.030
yet not totally awful and inaccurate manner.

00:17:10.030 --> 00:17:11.490
And it works not only on games,

00:17:11.490 --> 00:17:14.650
but also on low resolution video content.

00:17:14.650 --> 00:17:16.290
So what we're gonna do with this,

00:17:16.290 --> 00:17:19.410
is we're going to adapt the output of our GameCube

00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:21.610
with this retro prism, right?

00:17:21.610 --> 00:17:24.370
Then we're going to put this here.

00:17:24.370 --> 00:17:27.010
Actually, if we were really smart, what we would do,

00:17:27.010 --> 00:17:28.650
is we would take this

00:17:28.650 --> 00:17:30.850
and put it on the output of our HDMI switch.

00:17:30.850 --> 00:17:32.630
Since everything that's going into it

00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:34.610
is either a retro console

00:17:34.610 --> 00:17:37.670
or a woefully underpowered modern console.

00:17:37.670 --> 00:17:40.590
Wow, great job guys.

00:17:40.590 --> 00:17:41.430
Look at it.

00:17:41.430 --> 00:17:44.590
It's all oriental related correctly.

00:17:44.590 --> 00:17:48.610
And only a small amount of wall ended up on the table.

00:17:48.610 --> 00:17:49.830
Yes.

00:17:49.830 --> 00:17:50.670
Nice.

00:17:50.670 --> 00:17:52.410
Okay, it'll buff out.

00:17:52.410 --> 00:17:53.750
Of the wall or the table?

00:17:53.750 --> 00:17:54.590
The table.

00:17:54.590 --> 00:17:56.130
Oh yeah, I mean the important thing.

00:17:56.130 --> 00:17:57.010
I realized this.

00:17:57.010 --> 00:17:58.450
I was about to tell you guys about the GPU

00:17:58.450 --> 00:18:00.250
that I never really showed you the power supply.

00:18:00.250 --> 00:18:02.170
It's an EVGA 1000 GT.

00:18:02.170 --> 00:18:03.050
It's 80 plus gold.

00:18:03.050 --> 00:18:04.150
It's modular.

00:18:04.150 --> 00:18:05.950
It's a really nice unit

00:18:05.950 --> 00:18:07.530
and it should be a great pairing

00:18:07.530 --> 00:18:10.230
for the 7900 XTX from ASUS,

00:18:10.230 --> 00:18:11.890
but it's not over the top.

00:18:11.890 --> 00:18:14.630
It's even gonna look just like simple

00:18:14.630 --> 00:18:16.860
and clean when we're done.

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:19.560
This GPU is big enough to kind of hide these cables

00:18:19.560 --> 00:18:21.760
or at least draw the attention away from them.

00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:23.120
It's all in the hips.

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:23.960
Hold on.

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.800
Whoa, watch out.

00:18:24.800 --> 00:18:25.620
Okay, don't move.

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:27.180
Do you see the little fingers

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:29.480
on the bottom of the PCI slot back there?

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.680
Do you see the tiny surface mount components next to them?

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.560
It is so easy to be trying to position the card,

00:18:35.560 --> 00:18:37.020
moving it back and forth

00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:38.960
and knock off some of those components.

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.270
Adam didn't, which is good,

00:18:41.270 --> 00:18:47.810
but oh, here's why he was accidentally almost doing it.

00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:51.470
The height of this card is such that I don't know

00:18:51.470 --> 00:18:53.730
if we can actually slide it back into place

00:18:53.730 --> 00:18:56.890
without hitting those and knocking them off.

00:18:56.890 --> 00:18:58.590
We literally don't have a spare millimeter here.

00:18:58.590 --> 00:19:01.210
Holy crap, this might not fit.

00:19:01.210 --> 00:19:03.590
Ah, I'm just gonna make sure it's possible

00:19:03.590 --> 00:19:05.530
without killing it and then you can do it.

00:19:05.530 --> 00:19:06.370
Okay.

00:19:06.370 --> 00:19:07.210
Okay.

00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:09.960
Yes, it can be done.

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.000
You wanna do the honors?

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.220
Okay.

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:17.460
It's got a little bit of RGB.

00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:18.720
Yeah, it's got enough.

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:19.560
And you know what?

00:19:19.560 --> 00:19:21.860
It didn't impact the budget much.

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:25.240
Well, especially because you won the AIO with the RGB fans

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.300
and like, those are really nice RGB fans

00:19:29.300 --> 00:19:31.220
to be included with a case.

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:32.300
Hey, there you go.

00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:33.600
I didn't even post.

00:19:33.600 --> 00:19:34.580
Now what's up with this?

00:19:34.580 --> 00:19:36.940
I thought we were G710 plus buddies.

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.960
We were, but you know, I've had that keyboard

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.340
for damn near 10 years at this point.

00:19:42.340 --> 00:19:45.080
And I think it's just time for a little bit of a change,

00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:45.920
you know?

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.760
All right.

00:19:46.760 --> 00:19:49.540
Hopefully my wife never says anything like that to me.

00:19:49.540 --> 00:19:50.680
OC explore mode.

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:52.520
What am I even?

00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:53.560
Expo, there we go.

00:19:53.560 --> 00:19:56.010
Bop, bop, bop.

00:19:56.010 --> 00:19:57.170
Here we go.

00:19:57.170 --> 00:19:58.530
Well, that applied perfectly.

00:19:58.530 --> 00:20:00.770
All we need now is a Windows installer.

00:20:00.770 --> 00:20:01.810
While Colin's putting in

00:20:01.810 --> 00:20:05.410
these cable management things to hopefully keep the cats

00:20:05.410 --> 00:20:08.350
from chewing up the power and HDMI cables back here,

00:20:09.230 --> 00:20:10.490
we can put things on the shelf.

00:20:10.490 --> 00:20:12.850
Taylor deserves to be front and center here.

00:20:12.850 --> 00:20:15.810
Adam says that this will not fit on the shelf.

00:20:15.810 --> 00:20:19.450
And that assertion has been challenged here.

00:20:19.450 --> 00:20:20.850
Hey, there it is.

00:20:20.850 --> 00:20:21.870
Oh God.

00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:24.150
I'm so happy right now.

00:20:24.150 --> 00:20:24.990
Don't worry, Adam.

00:20:24.990 --> 00:20:27.370
We're gonna put your games on the shelf too.

00:20:27.370 --> 00:20:30.170
They're just not gonna be as prominently placed.

00:20:30.170 --> 00:20:31.010
I know.

00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:34.960
Adam, maybe I was confused before,

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.560
but I never actually saw a computer here.

00:20:38.560 --> 00:20:41.420
Was your work laptop what you were just gaming on?

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:42.820
That's just my personal laptop.

00:20:42.820 --> 00:20:44.180
Oh.

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:45.680
Oh, wow.

00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.240
All laptop all the time.

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.080
Yes.

00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:49.120
Laptop gamer.

00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:50.720
It's not the best bang for the buck.

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.620
So I'm a little surprised.

00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:54.760
Oh, well, I knew that eventually

00:20:54.760 --> 00:20:56.600
I was going to get an upgrade, right?

00:20:56.600 --> 00:20:58.700
And so around Christmas last year,

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:01.400
I decided to buy a laptop because I was like, oh, well,

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:02.740
after I get my upgrade,

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:04.640
I'll still be happy that I have a laptop

00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.440
because then I can take it with me places and well.

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.540
But you knew that we had only done like 20 upgrades

00:21:08.540 --> 00:21:09.740
and we have like a hundred people.

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:11.340
You were really,

00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:13.240
I was, yeah.

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.080
Gambling.

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:15.160
Oh yeah, a hundred percent.

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.500
Now to be fair at that time,

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:18.380
I didn't know it was a randomized.

00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:20.540
Oh, so you were just counting on us just

00:21:20.540 --> 00:21:21.580
I was just counting on seniority at some point.

00:21:21.580 --> 00:21:24.060
Thinking you do a great job and seeing your eyes.

00:21:24.060 --> 00:21:25.180
Ah, yeah.

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:26.340
Not how it works.

00:21:26.340 --> 00:21:27.300
No, no.

00:21:27.300 --> 00:21:28.500
I know that now.

00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:30.400
Now, how do these come off?

00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:31.400
Can we check the instructions?

00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.300
What? Check instructions?

00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:34.240
Oh, okay.

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.520
You're right.

00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:37.520
So how silly of me to suggest that.

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.780
I mean, I'm sure that is a thing

00:21:39.780 --> 00:21:41.120
you have to suggest sometimes.

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:43.300
I have to suggest it very often.

00:21:43.300 --> 00:21:45.700
Once you say that they always look at the instructions

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:47.520
and then everything goes perfectly, right?

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:48.540
Absolutely.

00:21:48.540 --> 00:21:51.820
I've never had that interaction go south for me, not once.

00:21:51.820 --> 00:21:54.680
I think these are the same ones that I have in the land room.

00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:55.980
These things are fricking awesome.

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:57.800
No, this seems to be a revised version

00:21:57.800 --> 00:21:58.800
that over clocks higher.

00:21:58.800 --> 00:21:59.940
They're 1440p.

00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:01.340
They support HDR,

00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:03.060
but they don't have full array local dimming.

00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:06.500
So it's more HDR end, but they're pretty bright.

00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:09.140
So they look great in SDR.

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:12.000
Really nice gaming monitors and really good value.

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.580
Wait, where's the, yeah, where's the VESA things?

00:22:15.580 --> 00:22:17.500
They're out here.

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:19.510
I am VESA man.

00:22:19.510 --> 00:22:22.450
I have two extra arms growing out of my neck.

00:22:22.450 --> 00:22:23.290
What's the problem?

00:22:23.290 --> 00:22:25.590
How did you manage that, Colin?

00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:32.160
So the adhesive on these.

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:33.000
Very powerful.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.160
Very strong.

00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.000
Actually had a similar issue at my house on a recent shoot.

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:37.840
It wasn't Colin.

00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:39.620
So this is only his first strike.

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.040
Well, luckily your boy knows how to patch drywall.

00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:45.890
All right, see you later.

00:22:45.890 --> 00:22:48.310
Before you put that on, we should roll out the desk pad.

00:22:48.310 --> 00:22:51.050
Oh, don't you dare.

00:22:51.050 --> 00:22:51.890
Okay, good.

00:22:53.290 --> 00:22:55.130
He had his hand on the other one.

00:22:55.130 --> 00:22:56.070
I could never.

00:22:56.070 --> 00:22:57.350
Linus, you know me.

00:22:57.350 --> 00:22:58.470
Well, I thought I did.

00:22:58.470 --> 00:23:00.210
I thought I did until I saw, oh God.

00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:01.050
Jesus.

00:23:02.090 --> 00:23:05.690
I kicked a piece off of your radiant heater.

00:23:05.690 --> 00:23:07.130
No, that's supposed to come off.

00:23:07.130 --> 00:23:08.150
Oh, good.

00:23:08.150 --> 00:23:09.050
That looks nice.

00:23:09.050 --> 00:23:11.750
That's fricking awesome.

00:23:11.750 --> 00:23:13.890
Real upgrade from your old one, honestly.

00:23:13.890 --> 00:23:15.010
Your bezels are huge.

00:23:15.010 --> 00:23:15.850
I know.

00:23:15.850 --> 00:23:17.950
It only displays one color, unfortunately,

00:23:17.950 --> 00:23:20.810
but still a big upgrade from the old one.

00:23:20.810 --> 00:23:21.930
Thanks, dad.

00:23:21.930 --> 00:23:23.050
Right across to the back.

00:23:23.050 --> 00:23:24.090
Yep, right there.

00:23:24.090 --> 00:23:24.930
Perfect.

00:23:24.930 --> 00:23:25.750
That's so cool.

00:23:25.750 --> 00:23:26.590
They lock into place too.

00:23:26.590 --> 00:23:27.430
Oh yeah.

00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:29.110
Where are you planning to put the computer?

00:23:29.110 --> 00:23:29.990
Cause I'm a little bit worried

00:23:29.990 --> 00:23:32.050
about the DisplayPort cables reaching.

00:23:32.050 --> 00:23:34.510
Immediately to the right of the monitors.

00:23:34.510 --> 00:23:35.750
Like on top of the desk.

00:23:35.750 --> 00:23:36.590
Okay.

00:23:36.590 --> 00:23:38.110
See, I saw like a hanger.

00:23:38.110 --> 00:23:39.590
Secret lab was very kind.

00:23:39.590 --> 00:23:41.950
They sent us all the accessories for free,

00:23:41.950 --> 00:23:44.930
but I'm not going to use a hundred percent of them.

00:23:44.930 --> 00:23:46.250
Oh, well that's easy.

00:23:46.250 --> 00:23:47.570
Oh, is this a new chair?

00:23:47.570 --> 00:23:48.410
Yes.

00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:49.710
It is the Ikea Marcus.

00:23:49.710 --> 00:23:50.910
The Ikea Marcus.

00:23:50.910 --> 00:23:52.670
I just marked it with my ass.

00:23:52.670 --> 00:23:54.110
I'm turning it on.

00:23:54.110 --> 00:23:56.930
There was so much value for the 5k.

00:23:56.930 --> 00:23:59.410
You managed to buy a thousand dollar GPU

00:23:59.410 --> 00:24:02.390
and then still do the whole setup out.

00:24:02.390 --> 00:24:05.750
Multiple consoles, you know, game consoles.

00:24:05.750 --> 00:24:08.750
TV consoles, all different kinds of consoles.

00:24:08.750 --> 00:24:11.570
We have to console him for his wall being destroyed.

00:24:11.570 --> 00:24:13.870
Ah, yeah.

00:24:13.870 --> 00:24:16.520
Thanks for that, David.

00:24:16.520 --> 00:24:17.860
This will probably make a rebuild for us.

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.980
That sounds like Mario.

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:21.960
Hey, is the GameCube working out there?

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.060
Okay, we'll have to go check on that.

00:24:23.060 --> 00:24:25.360
Is this going through the M cable right now?

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:28.060
Cause it's definitely smooth.

00:24:28.060 --> 00:24:30.280
But if I was at a reasonable distance from it,

00:24:30.280 --> 00:24:31.920
like not bad.

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:34.960
There is some artifacting on the fast moving textures

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:36.620
there in the corners, but.

00:24:36.780 --> 00:24:38.460
Oh, I do see that.

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:39.480
Yep. Yep.

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.080
You're not wrong.

00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:43.580
It's not the kind of thing that's going to bother me too much,

00:24:43.580 --> 00:24:46.780
but let's play some Mario Kart, bud.

00:24:46.780 --> 00:24:49.600
These controller extensions are apparently

00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:50.740
part of the upgrade.

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:52.400
So that's awesome.

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:54.880
Cause I was kind of wondering about that.

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.560
I have a confession.

00:24:56.560 --> 00:24:58.660
I have never played Mario Kart Double Dash.

00:24:58.660 --> 00:25:00.360
What?

00:25:00.360 --> 00:25:01.200
I played a bunch of Mario.

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:02.240
It's the best one.

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:07.000
A bunch of 64, a ton of Mario Kart DS, a fair bit of Wii.

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:08.240
I can't figure out what buttons,

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:09.840
what the hell is this button layout?

00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:11.060
I never had a GameCube.

00:25:11.060 --> 00:25:14.040
This is probably my third time holding a GameCube controller.

00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:15.940
So one moment, please.

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:19.500
I'm impressed by how well that chain link is handled.

00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:21.280
I don't know what any, oh my God.

00:25:21.280 --> 00:25:22.740
You have two people on the cart.

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:23.580
Yes, you do.

00:25:23.580 --> 00:25:25.040
How do I hop?

00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:26.420
You can't hop in this one.

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:27.260
What?

00:25:27.260 --> 00:25:28.200
You just drift.

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.200
How do you drift then?

00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:31.340
L or R.

00:25:31.340 --> 00:25:32.180
Ah, I see.

00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:33.060
Okay.

00:25:33.060 --> 00:25:34.720
So here's the real question though.

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:36.000
How is it that I'm beating you?

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:36.920
A good question.

00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:38.520
I haven't played this in quite some time.

00:25:38.520 --> 00:25:40.680
I haven't played this in since ever.

00:25:43.020 --> 00:25:43.860
Oh God.

00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:45.380
13 seconds off the winning NPC.

00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:47.160
You know what this tells me is

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.500
I just need to play this more and now I can.

00:25:49.500 --> 00:25:51.040
Hey, it looks really good though.

00:25:51.040 --> 00:25:52.500
Yeah, oh my God.

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:53.340
It's beautiful.

00:25:53.340 --> 00:25:55.640
Of course all the real gaming happens in here anyway.

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:56.480
Come on.

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.800
How much of a step up is this from the old setup?

00:25:59.800 --> 00:26:01.820
This is fricking awesome.

00:26:01.820 --> 00:26:03.700
I don't know, that laptop was pretty nice.

00:26:05.280 --> 00:26:06.780
The laptop is okay.

00:26:06.780 --> 00:26:07.620
I'm sure it was fine.

00:26:07.620 --> 00:26:09.000
Sandra will enjoy it.

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.320
Exactly.

00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:11.540
Exactly.

00:26:11.540 --> 00:26:12.780
Why aren't you sitting in the setup?

00:26:12.780 --> 00:26:15.280
Well, because I'm adjusting the monitors, okay?

00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:16.840
I'm providing good customer service.

00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:18.100
There, now it's ready for him.

00:26:18.100 --> 00:26:19.420
There, see?

00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:21.420
Luckily, you're like literally almost

00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:22.720
the exact same height as me.

00:26:24.430 --> 00:26:26.910
While Adam's installing some games on his computer,

00:26:26.910 --> 00:26:30.290
I am going to unbox his new espresso machine.

00:26:30.290 --> 00:26:32.730
David has challenged me to say everything I know

00:26:32.730 --> 00:26:34.510
about coffee while I unbox this.

00:26:34.510 --> 00:26:36.130
I know it comes from beans.

00:26:36.130 --> 00:26:37.090
I know that some like it.

00:26:37.090 --> 00:26:39.330
Some like it dark and some like it creamy

00:26:39.330 --> 00:26:41.070
and some people put sugar in it.

00:26:41.070 --> 00:26:43.490
I know that it smells a lot better than it tastes.

00:26:43.490 --> 00:26:46.530
I know that when we did an LTT coffee roast,

00:26:46.530 --> 00:26:48.410
I was very transparent with our audience

00:26:48.410 --> 00:26:50.230
that I don't actually drink coffee.

00:26:50.230 --> 00:26:54.220
I know that this is not an ice cream scoop.

00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:56.000
Anything's an ice cream scoop.

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.860
Yeah, I mean, I could eat ice cream out of it,

00:26:57.860 --> 00:26:59.600
but I think this goes here.

00:26:59.600 --> 00:27:01.620
I've seen them work it at Starbucks

00:27:01.620 --> 00:27:02.700
when I order a hot chocolate

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:05.400
and someone else orders a coffee.

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:06.240
Oh yeah.

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.600
Oh yeah, there we go.

00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:08.540
Put that in there.

00:27:08.540 --> 00:27:12.050
Got other, got the musical instruments

00:27:12.050 --> 00:27:13.350
that come inside with it.

00:27:14.430 --> 00:27:16.350
Is this like a good one or?

00:27:16.350 --> 00:27:17.190
I don't know.

00:27:17.190 --> 00:27:18.930
I don't drink coffee either.

00:27:18.930 --> 00:27:21.330
Adam's the big coffee nut.

00:27:21.330 --> 00:27:22.330
He's behind that wall.

00:27:22.330 --> 00:27:25.670
It takes a C13 power cable.

00:27:25.670 --> 00:27:29.470
You can take your coffee that you didn't consume this time

00:27:29.470 --> 00:27:31.090
and you can put it in here for reuse.

00:27:31.090 --> 00:27:33.010
It'll mix it into one.

00:27:33.010 --> 00:27:35.590
Kind of like regrinding for shooting plastic parts

00:27:35.590 --> 00:27:36.430
and injection molding.

00:27:36.430 --> 00:27:38.740
You just reground coffee.

00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:39.740
Yeah.

00:27:39.860 --> 00:27:42.450
So that's a good coffee thing or?

00:27:42.450 --> 00:27:45.770
Oh, it's, I mean, look,

00:27:45.770 --> 00:27:47.870
it'll be my first ever espresso machine.

00:27:47.870 --> 00:27:49.750
I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on it,

00:27:49.750 --> 00:27:53.050
but it is highly recommended amongst people

00:27:53.050 --> 00:27:54.790
who are snobby about coffee.

00:27:54.790 --> 00:27:56.350
Okay, so you went on Reddit basically.

00:27:56.350 --> 00:27:57.630
I pretty much went on Reddit.

00:27:57.630 --> 00:27:59.970
This is gonna be an hour and a half.

00:27:59.970 --> 00:28:01.350
Do you have Baldur's Gate on here?

00:28:01.350 --> 00:28:02.190
I do.

00:28:02.190 --> 00:28:06.800
Do you have like a high speed USB external drive?

00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:07.640
No.

00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:08.480
Right, brilliant.

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.580
Oh boy.

00:28:12.540 --> 00:28:14.100
Sorry.

00:28:14.100 --> 00:28:17.550
There's a faster way to do this.

00:28:17.550 --> 00:28:21.550
We managed to download less than 3% of the game

00:28:21.550 --> 00:28:23.750
in the time it took me to get this SSD out.

00:28:23.750 --> 00:28:24.850
Sick.

00:28:24.850 --> 00:28:27.340
Let's shut her down.

00:28:27.340 --> 00:28:30.020
Cool.

00:28:30.020 --> 00:28:32.540
This is the dumbest thing we've done this week.

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:34.060
No, this is smart, Linus.

00:28:34.060 --> 00:28:35.520
Download speed too slow.

00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:36.960
Rip the SSD out of a laptop

00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.080
that already has the game installed.

00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:38.920
Let's go.

00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:40.840
Just as long as it goes back together

00:28:40.840 --> 00:28:42.440
better than the wall does.

00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:44.260
Steam apps common.

00:28:44.260 --> 00:28:45.120
Baldur's Gate 3.

00:28:45.120 --> 00:28:45.960
Woo.

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.840
Woo.

00:28:46.840 --> 00:28:47.660
Woo.

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:48.500
Woo.

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:49.340
All right.

00:28:49.340 --> 00:28:50.180
Let's see this install speed.

00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:51.000
Here we go.

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.840
Paste.

00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:53.880
Woo.

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:55.130
Gigabyte a second, baby.

00:28:56.850 --> 00:29:00.690
And of course, after our brilliant idea,

00:29:00.690 --> 00:29:04.130
there's a 25 Gigabyte update.

00:29:04.130 --> 00:29:05.490
Okay, it's not as bad as we thought.

00:29:05.490 --> 00:29:07.510
Battle.net was running in the background.

00:29:07.510 --> 00:29:09.450
It's only six and a half minutes.

00:29:09.450 --> 00:29:10.290
Let's go.

00:29:10.290 --> 00:29:11.130
We got this.

00:29:11.130 --> 00:29:16.610
I downloaded a cat piano app.

00:29:16.610 --> 00:29:26.300
Everyone's coming over here to investigate.

00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:28.460
Okay, anyway, I think Baldur's Gate is done.

00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:30.520
And then because there's no tutorial,

00:29:30.520 --> 00:29:32.740
you can have instructions for how to play the damn game

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.580
on this monitor.

00:29:35.080 --> 00:29:37.840
Holy banana sacks.

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:41.060
Your 1% lows are over 100 FPS.

00:29:41.060 --> 00:29:43.020
Oh God, I don't remember how to play.

00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:47.180
But look at how smooth the camera movement is.

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:48.700
Yes, it's very smooth.

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:50.920
What settings is this running at though?

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:51.740
Good question.

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:54.300
It would, I imagine, probably the same ones.

00:29:54.300 --> 00:29:55.720
Oh, that's part of why it's so smooth.

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:56.560
Triple buffering.

00:29:56.560 --> 00:29:57.400
Gotta love it.

00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:58.300
Turn that off.

00:29:58.300 --> 00:29:59.140
We'll talk about that later.

00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:00.780
Oh, Ultra.

00:30:00.780 --> 00:30:01.620
Okay.

00:30:01.620 --> 00:30:03.180
Ultra all the things.

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:04.020
Sure.

00:30:04.020 --> 00:30:05.400
Cool.

00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:08.370
Woo, see you later, V-Sync.

00:30:08.370 --> 00:30:13.370
1% lows of 200 and 90, 300 frames per second.

00:30:14.390 --> 00:30:15.930
Are you kidding me?

00:30:15.930 --> 00:30:17.030
That's crazy.

00:30:18.070 --> 00:30:20.030
Well, I'm quite happy with that.

00:30:20.030 --> 00:30:21.090
I honestly couldn't tell you

00:30:21.090 --> 00:30:23.710
which of these room transformations I like better.

00:30:23.710 --> 00:30:26.490
The living room looks freaking awesome.

00:30:26.490 --> 00:30:28.890
And there's so many options for games,

00:30:28.890 --> 00:30:31.590
both retro and modern.

00:30:31.590 --> 00:30:36.400
I mean, this is obviously a gigantic W.

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.080
And honestly, the whole rest of the thing

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:40.660
just looks so much better than when we started.

00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:43.300
But then that desk Adam started with,

00:30:43.300 --> 00:30:45.280
going from a laptop on a desk

00:30:45.280 --> 00:30:47.400
that barely even holds a laptop

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.760
to a deluxe battle station like this.

00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:52.160
Man, the way it cranks through Baldur's Gate.

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.980
There is no question that he got one of, in my opinion,

00:30:55.980 --> 00:30:58.540
the most efficient AMD Ultimate Tech.

00:30:58.540 --> 00:31:00.420
Not a dollar wasted.

00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:02.080
If you guys enjoyed this video,

00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:04.300
hey, massive shout out to AMD.

00:31:04.300 --> 00:31:05.500
Go check out their products.

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:07.040
We're gonna have them linked down below.

00:31:07.040 --> 00:31:09.040
And of course, you can go check out

00:31:09.040 --> 00:31:10.920
previous AMD Ultimate Tech upgrades.

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.780
Maybe the one with my wife, there's wrestling.
