1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240 I'm told this will be one of the easiest A&D ultimate $5,000 tech upgrades that we have ever done. 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,840 Because you see, Robert here, one of our longest-standing editors, actually built a computer, 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,960 a whole damn battle station for himself last year. 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:20,800 So all he put on his wish list was a simple old NAS to help store old projects that he no longer works on. 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,800 So what's the deal? You're getting ready to leave me? 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,680 Like everyone leaves me? You know, checking back two months or whatever, you know, we'll see. 7 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,480 Wow, that was a far less reassuring answer than I expected. 8 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,760 Okay, so it's just a giant homework folder then. Pretty much, yeah. I have some old, I actually have a lot of stuff that's just on like loose, like, portable hard drives and that, 9 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:48,720 that's just like just sitting there and it's like, I need a place for it, so. You're so innocent. Do you even know what homework means? 10 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,480 It's been a while. What does that mean? 11 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,040 Oh wait, never mind, never mind. 12 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:02,120 In all seriousness, a NAS is an outstanding upgrade for someone like Robert who does some freelance work on the side. 13 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:09,480 I mean, there are certainly worse things he could spend his money on. Our resident Funko expert, Elijah, pointed out that as much plastic junk as he has, 14 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,400 at least he never spent AMD's hard-earned money on... 15 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,400 Who is this? Robin? Arsenal, Green Arrow's sidekick. 16 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,080 How much did this cost? Uh, I think it was $450? 17 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,280 $4.50. $450. 18 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:32,600 You have got to be kidding me right now. He's a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive minifigure, so there's a limited number of him. 19 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:38,040 Lego is only as expensive as you let it be. You know, people will sell it by the pound on Facebook, right? 20 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,200 Yeah, well, I didn't buy it, AMD did, so, you know, they made the bad financial decision. 21 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:55,240 Please tell me you spared some budget for tech stuff. Oh yeah, there's, we got, I mean, we got the NAS, we got some speakers, soundbar, camera gear and, uh, VCR. 22 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,920 Barely tech at this point. 23 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,560 I mean, how are you even going to notice this one in the army of other Lego figures? 24 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,160 Oh, that's just the really expensive ones, basically. There's a lot more scattered around here. 25 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,680 Ah, yes. I thought Obi-Wan with beard. 26 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,920 Obi-Wan with different beard. 27 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,680 This, this is how you got featured on our worst setups before. 28 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,800 Poor financial management. 29 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:49,040 It's that spooky time of year, and five lucky souls will soon wield the dark power of AMD's Ryzen 99950X3D processor. 30 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:58,760 Enter, if you dare. This sweepstakes for a chance to claim one of these beasts forged in the depths of silicon. 31 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Trot, did you run the strategic GPT? Oh, yes. 32 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:16,240 Make my sponsor talking point spooky. The point is, the link is in the video dead description, but be warned, once you've seen this kind of performance, there's no going back. 33 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,160 Mwahahaha! 34 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:26,480 Thank you AMD for making this terrifyingly good giveaway possible, and good luck, brave PC builder. 35 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,680 There is even more in the bedroom, it's hard to get into the bedroom right now, but then you can see the shelf from here. 36 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,920 There's even, uh, even more. 37 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:39,560 And then these ones are some of my favorites, so that's why they're in here. Right, so you can watch them while you sleep. 38 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:47,440 Or they can watch you while you don't sleep. I can say with certainty that LEGO is the thing I've chosen, my disposable income to go towards, it's, yeah. 39 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,000 I picked kids. Both are valid choices. 40 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,240 Disposable, you know? No, the income, not the kids. 41 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,480 The scenes are cool. Yeah, the scenes are cool, this is cool. 42 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,520 You had collector's money for a piece of film strip from a film, and you chose the Phantom Menace. 43 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,120 It was a Christmas gift. From now you're greatest enemy. 44 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,440 You have a bunch of VHS tapes already, but you didn't have a player yet. 45 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:28,280 Yeah, yeah, I had a bunch of tapes from, because I moved out about a year and a half ago, so I still had access to a player, but then when I moved I didn't have one, so. 46 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:33,840 Right, so you needed to re-acquire a player so that you could watch classics like The Brave Little Toaster. 47 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,640 Yeah. Do you watch it as an adult, or is it more just about owning a piece of the nostalgia? 48 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Actually, I haven't watched it in a while, but this was like when I would go to my grandma's for sleepovers and that, this was like the movie we would watch, and that, so that's, yeah, pretty much for the nostalgia. 49 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,200 Are these VHS copies from your childhood, or are they ones you acquired as an adult? 50 00:04:51,200 --> 00:05:02,760 Basically, all childhood, but between my grandma and my nana, and that, I took a bunch of the tapes that, because whenever I'd go over for sleepovers, it was movie night and that, so I took a bunch of the ones that we used to watch and that, so that's legit. 51 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:23,280 Want to talk us through your soundbar choice? I'm not a huge audio person, so that's actually why there's a lot of audio gear here, because it's stuff I wouldn't normally buy myself, but when I was looking, I ideally wanted to get one with a dedicated subwoofer, and that, so I went on Openbox and was able to find one for about the price of just a soundbar. 52 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,600 Did you know about Openbox before Scrapyard Wars? 53 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:33,640 Yeah, actually some people had told me about it, because I didn't, and dude, they have some deals from time to time. 54 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:42,560 Yeah, Openbox.ca, shout out. Not a sponsor. Not a sponsor, but, because how could they afford to sponsor anyone with prices that low? 55 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,800 You know what, let's have David and Rhys throw this on the TV, and then you and I can build the nest. 56 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,920 Okay. Robert, problem. Oh, uh, yeah, well, we got a solution for that. 57 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Trick or treat, smell my TV's feet. 58 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,800 You should see the branding for this, there is, the tutorial for this on Amazon is a guy dressed as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. 59 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800 I love that I get to spend my days with my people. 60 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,800 I hate that these are my people. 61 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,440 Alright, Robert, let's build a nest. 62 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440 You're a PC builder, if I recall correctly, right? 63 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:25,920 Have you built a couple computers before? I built one last year, and it's my first time building it, so I followed a bunch of our tutorials. 64 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,440 I started like 7.730 on a Friday night. 65 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,320 I didn't get it to fully boot properly until about two in the morning. 66 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,160 Okay, well, today will be a big, big improvement. 67 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,440 Now, you went a bit of an unconventional route here. 68 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,400 You've actually gone with a last generation AM4 platform, specifically the Ryzen 7 5800 XT. 69 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Why did you choose that for your NAS? It was one that was suggested to me by the writers. 70 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Okay, I will explain then. It's an 8-core 16 thread processor that's going to give an ample performance for high-speed copies to and from his network storage device. 71 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:09,080 And, having 8 of those cores, not to mention still decent efficiency, even compared to modern chips, 72 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:16,080 means that if you wanted to run some virtualized applications like, say, he wanted to move into this century with, you know, a Plex server, for instance, 73 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,080 he could totally run that on his NAS. Now it's up to you to get that chip installed. 74 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 The only time I've done this, it was the Do Not... 75 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the Do Not Mention brand. 76 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,080 So this will be my first one of this, of AMD. 77 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,080 Do Not Mention brand? I assume we're not supposed to name the competitor. 78 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:40,080 I mean, I can see why AMD wouldn't want us to name a competitor in the videos, but like Intel, who cares? 79 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080 I mean, it's an honest question at this point. 80 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:50,080 You're literally choosing AMD's three-generation-ago product over their competitor. 81 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,080 That could change. It could change in the future, but... 82 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,080 Okay, put it in the corner, in the corner. 83 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,080 For CPU cooler, Robert has gone with the cooler. 84 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,080 It's the Peerless Assassin 120 SE Black from Thermalrite. 85 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:14,080 When I edited the writer's build $1,000 PC video, Ploof and Adam picked this one, and they were, like, excited about it. 86 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,080 They're excited about the price-to-performance ratio. 87 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,080 This thing is unbelievable for the price. Thermalrite is killing it. 88 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,080 Okay, you're going to need this, and you're going to need a screwdriver. 89 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,080 Mine's in my office. Well, yeah, you always have one. 90 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,080 LTTstore.com, baby. How scientific do you want to be? 91 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Not very. Let's just lift it and hope that we get the right... Just wing it. Just wing it. 92 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,080 Looks good to me. All right. 93 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,080 Now thermal compound. And if I mess this up, the entire internet will roast me for it. 94 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,080 Oh, it doesn't matter anymore. People are over it at this point, I think. 95 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,080 Oh, well, not like that. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. 96 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080 Uh, this is critical. Yeah. Watch out. 97 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,080 Didn't you do that in the restart screen? This is the problem with having video editors. 98 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,080 They know everything. They see everything. 99 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,080 They see every flubbed line, every mistake, every bad hair day. 100 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:15,080 Stuff we're not supposed to see. I'm really hoping that we had the legs high enough so we don't have to redo it. 101 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,080 Oh, it's more high than we need. Do we need to go down one? 102 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,080 No, I think that's probably perfect. Yeah, Robert wants the extra space, right? 103 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,080 And then there's any time when we're editing footage and it's just like, oh yeah, he's just got his pants off and he's changing in the back there. 104 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,080 That's... Well... 105 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,080 Oh my God, you were rolling on that? Okay. 106 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,080 I feel like we're going to have a lot of stuff that doesn't make the YouTube cut for this one. 107 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,080 LMG.gg slash Floatplane. 108 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,080 Hit him with the new Mogurt. Did you do the new one? 109 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,080 Yeah, actually, I do a lot of the Mogurt stuff now. 110 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,080 So a lot of the new stuff that you've seen in that, that's been all me. 111 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,080 Robert did the intro for Scrapyard Wars 10, which was freaking outstanding. 112 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,080 We got 32 gigs of RAM. 113 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,080 Keep a track of that. 3600, CL18. 114 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,080 I mean, decent DDR4 kits are pretty affordable these days, 115 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,080 although not as cheap as you might think, you know, being outdated and all of that 116 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,080 because production for DDR4 hasn't been as high. 117 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,080 So prices have kind of been a little bit all over the place. 118 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,080 I have a question. How is this going to help at all? 119 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,080 It's going to sit on top. Oh. Yeah. 120 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,080 Why not just wall mount? Basically just like, I guess it's like making more holes in the wall to have to deal with later. 121 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,080 You have all kinds of holes in your wall. Yeah. Those are hung with nails. 122 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,080 Robert, where does the soundbar plug in? 123 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,080 Oh. There's no power. No, there should be the power bar down there. 124 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,080 I mean, yeah, but it's full. It's full. It is? 125 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,080 It's because your power bar is half AC and half USB ports. 126 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,080 What kind of power bar is that? So the switch in that will get moved into the middle here and then the VCR will go on the end there. 127 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,080 Right, right, right, right. But as for the plug situation, didn't realize that. 128 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,080 I guess I'll have to get a new power bar, but for now we can just plug in the soundbar 129 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,080 and probably just unplug one of these. 130 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,080 Oh, I haven't seen the N5 before. 131 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,080 This is from Jon's bow. They make some really cool little compact cases. 132 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,080 It can fit 12 hard drives and four SSDs. 133 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,080 You're good. Nice. Is it time to install the VCR? 134 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,080 Uh, sure. Should we talk about what's special about it? 135 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,080 I mean, Dan's dad sort of, I assume refurbished it for you because I know that he does that. 136 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,080 The only special thing I know about it is it's got a weird ass remote. 137 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,080 That's not that weird. Yeah, that's not that weird. You're just too young. 138 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,080 Yeah, I've seen that. You also have the cheap RCA to HDMI adapter that I really hope I didn't recommend, 139 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,080 but it's fine for VCRs. Uh, the corner's mushed. 140 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:45,080 Oh, wow. She got dinged. But that doesn't affect the assembly because this is just the final cover piece. 141 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:51,080 There's something so satisfying about plugging in RCA. I don't know if it's just nostalgia or if we've lost something with the HDMI standard, 142 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080 but it feels so good. It's fine. 143 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,080 So as long as you can get a new cover piece, it'll be cosmetically perfect. 144 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,080 Okay. Wow, this is great. Man, I really like John's bow's cases. 145 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,080 Way to go, John's bow. A couple 120 millimeter fans for pulling air through those 12 hard drives in the front, 146 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:14,080 full-size ATX power supply, full-size ATX motherboard support, which gives you lots of room for PCI expansion cards, 147 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:20,080 which, funnily enough, in a NAS can actually mean more than in your desktop computer these days 148 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,080 because you might want to have accelerator cards for encoding movies 149 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:29,080 or, excuse me, Linux ISOs, high-speed networking, HBAs for additional drives, 150 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,080 and then the front is just mesh for days. 151 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,080 Great for airflow. This is very used. 152 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,080 It's like discolored on the back from heat. 153 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,080 Oh, that's probably okay. As long as this isn't one of those counterfeit LSI cards, 154 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,080 which, if it's really heavily used, maybe it isn't. 155 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:55,080 Okay, well, this will do another eight drives, so that'll do the full complement of 16 that this case can accommodate with the onboard ones. 156 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,080 Yeah, this is like a SAS 12 gig card. This is, oh, was this expensive? 157 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,080 I don't think it was too expensive, but I think that's why it's used, is that they save cost there. 158 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,080 While they're finishing up the NAS, we're going to work on the audio interface and the Yamaha HS5 speakers. 159 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,080 Robert, it seems like you've committed one of the common blunders. 160 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,080 Where are these speakers going to fit on your desk? 161 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,080 It is a tight fit. The plan is for them to go on either end. 162 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,080 We can move the monitors a bit. And I think based on the measurements of, like the box is very big, 163 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,080 but based on the measurements of the actual speakers, they should fit in those spaces. 164 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,080 Any reason you picked the Focusrite Scarlett Solo? 165 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,080 Just Google. Robert, you don't really use this for stream, but you do do content creation. 166 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,080 What do you use for a mic? So it's actually, it's this guy here. 167 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:49,080 So when I go to record in that, I just get this up to standing height and then swivel this guy around. 168 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,080 And now you can record. Or it's just like a USB powered mic. 169 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,080 Yeah, it just plugs into the computer and then I use like audacity or whatever to record on my desktop. 170 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,080 Have I got some great news for you, the XLR input on this? 171 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,080 You can upgrade your mic to anything that isn't that. 172 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080 Honest, would you say what's more important, good video or good audio? Good audio. 173 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,080 Well, to a point. Yes. You need acceptable video. 174 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,080 Yes. So he's going to watch it at home. Cell phone video is acceptable. 175 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:21,080 Audio. I would say so these days, yeah. And then as long as you have good audio, we've shot like, dude, we did that one recently where David and I went shopping in the Best Buy. 176 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:29,080 And we just, as long as we're wearing like a professional quality pack and microphone, we shot a bunch of it on like, not just on a cell phone. 177 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,080 But like, on the selfie camera of a cell phone because we're cell filming. 178 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080 I don't think I saw a single person say they cared about it. 179 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:42,080 No, the audio matters so much more. Yeah. You just got to make sure it's extra good. 180 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,080 What do you think of these speakers, placements? 181 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080 You're kidding, right? I didn't know how to tell Robert. 182 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,080 Is it funny? No. Fix it. 183 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,080 I can't believe you guys called me over to look at this. 184 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,080 I was over here being perfectly productive, shocking hard drives, getting them ready for installation. 185 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,080 They pulled me over there to look at that. Let's talk about hard drives instead. 186 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:13,080 Sure, they're boring. But these are boring iron wolf pros, 12 terabytes each, and they come with data recovery service as part of their, I believe it's a five year warranty. 187 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,080 So pretty great choice. Oh, you're back. 188 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,080 Feel free to throw those drives in. Can you bring that a little bit closer? 189 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:26,080 The cable's too short. No. Oh, I guess we're just going to run the cable across. 190 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:34,080 Robert, you're going to have to buy longer cables. I mean, obviously the angles are weird, but it's so much better than the monitor speakers. 191 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,080 The only way to know for sure is to do crap, right? 192 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,080 I'm not even in what is supposed to be the sweet spot, and I can already tell that it's awful. 193 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,080 Also, what is this? 194 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,080 Yeah, originally I thought the cable on this was going to be longer and be able to be more in the center than those would have reached. 195 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,080 No, no, no, no, no. My concern was that you don't have proper acoustic isolators. 196 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,080 I love the cable. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. 197 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:10,080 The micro vibrations of the cable. I mean, the speaker clarity is outstanding, which I really get to appreciate having my ear right next to it. 198 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,080 Yeah, actually, not bad at all for not having a subwoofer. 199 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,080 That's, like, great. I'm going to leave you a spot to put a GPU. 200 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,080 Okay, because I believe that that is actually more important. 201 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,080 Like, if you ever wanted to use it for Plex or something like that. 202 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:35,080 Are you ever going to run a Plex server? At the moment, not that I think my Plex server is my DVD case. 203 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:46,080 This is an odd choice. You put in a two and a half gig PCIe network card. 204 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:52,080 These days, it's usually cheaper to get two and a half gig networking just integrated onto the motherboard, 205 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,080 but I guess that was less true in the AM4 days. 206 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:03,080 Let's run the power supply. We chose the RM750 because it's a perfectly suitably adequate quiet power supply from Corsair. 207 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,080 Thanks, Corsair. We're kind of at the end of the pile of stuff, and there's just this FX30. 208 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,080 Why do you have this, Robert? This is for basically my own content creation, maybe some freelance work, 209 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,080 and it's my first proper cinema camera because prior to that, all I had was phone camera, 210 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,080 which did the job, but definitely better. 211 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,080 You also have a Sigma contemporary lens, which is a pretty solid choice. 212 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080 Some SD cards, dummy battery. 213 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:33,080 What the heck is this stream deck pedal for? This is something that, to be honest, I thought I would never own. 214 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,080 I bought the Elgato prompter off of David when he was selling a whole bunch of his stuff, 215 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:43,080 and unfortunately, as far as I could find, any small Bluetooth remotes don't work with the prompter. 216 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:49,080 You need an actual Elgato product in that, and because my setup is a standing setup, 217 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,080 I can put this down at my feet, control the prompter, and keep my hands free. 218 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,080 It's just three buttons, and that's basically all I need. 219 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,080 Scroll up, scroll down, play pause on the prompter, and we'll be good to go. 220 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,080 This is nice. The back of this case is just unlimited cable stuffing space, 221 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:09,080 so you can just chuck everything back there and then not worry about the fact that the bottom is just a complete rat's nest. 222 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080 And that's it. This is ready to go. 223 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:19,080 I mean, okay, it doesn't look like much right now, but I'm thinking let's make sure it all works and then we can button it up. 224 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,080 Robert, is this your new chair? Yeah. 225 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,080 What happened the last one? Well, here's my previous chair. 226 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,080 And here's the other part. Oh. Oh, wow. 227 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,080 I was leaning back in my chair, getting ready to watch some YouTube, and it just snapped. 228 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,080 Okay, everyone wandered away, but I have bad news for them. 229 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,080 No! I had this kind of, like, subconscious, like, oh, you really need a GPU. You should have a GPU. 230 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,080 I'll leave room for a GPU. This doesn't have onboard graphics. 231 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,080 Shit. 232 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:57,080 Hey, I know something that you could, that you could sell to raise some money for a GPU. 233 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,080 I mean, can we pull the one out of here or something? It doesn't need to be a powerful GPU, just anything. 234 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:07,080 To be clear, in the longer term, there would be nothing that would prevent him from running this without a GPU in it at all. 235 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,080 It's just that while we're configuring it right now, it's going to be a bit of a pain. 236 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,080 Jesus. My God, man, clean your things. 237 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080 I think I've opened that computer once. 238 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,080 I went and I put in the SSD because we forgot about that before. 239 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,080 We went with a P3 Plus because it's fine for a boot SSD. 240 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,080 All right, we got a GPU now. Here we go. Hey! 241 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,080 We'll be using HexOS for his NAS software because I don't know. 242 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,080 The fact that I invested in something makes everyone comfortable using alpha software. 243 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,080 I'm not at the point where I'd recommend it yet, but here it is. 244 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,080 I didn't pick it. 245 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:52,080 You guys installed the VCR. Does it have headline issues? 246 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,080 It certainly seems like it does. It doesn't advertise that it has the four heads. 247 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:02,080 Soundbar. Big improvement. As long as you're watching relatively modern content. 248 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:09,080 Anything I say is just going to get teased about. 249 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,080 You were about to say you can't tell the difference, weren't you? 250 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,080 I'm out. 251 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:22,080 Oh boy, what's this? On my family's last trip to Disneyland, my brother and I both got some of these. 252 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,080 At the time, it was very expensive to ship both these and the blades home. 253 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,080 We never got any blades, but now we do. 254 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,080 This video is going to come out right before my brother's birthday. 255 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,080 Surprise! There we go! 256 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,080 Okay, put some passion in it. 257 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,080 Taking a bat to your big boss. 258 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,080 Why did they never go for the legs? Mind you, I died there. 259 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,080 We've got the stream deck pedal hooked up to the prompter. 260 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,080 So middle button should be play pod. 261 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,080 Oh, it paused, okay. And then should be scroll down. 262 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,080 I'll speed it up a little bit. And then scroll up. 263 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,080 HexOS is installed. Now what you gotta do is go to deck.hexos.com. 264 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,080 Here, just click that link. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. 265 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Sweet. Oops, turn away, turn away. 266 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,080 Don't waste the information, yada yada. 267 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,080 Don't Hex or his mainframe. What do you want your server name to be? 268 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Oh, uh, BPP. 269 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,080 Arkham Asylum. From Batman. 270 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:36,120 I know what Arkham Asylum is from. Now, hopefully, we won't need the TrueNAS interface again, but it's there in case you 271 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:40,040 want it. That's one of the cool things about HexOS is it's kind of a layer on top of TrueNAS 272 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:47,800 to make it more user-friendly. So if you're the kind of person that finds TrueNAS very easy to use, good for you. 273 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:54,040 You can stop typing that comment. We're impressed, but you just don't need to tell everybody about it. 274 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,120 And if you're the kind of person who finds this a little bit challenging and obtuse, 275 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:02,000 HexOS is there for you. 94, 98 megabytes a second. 276 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,760 Brilliant. Perfect. We are maxing out our gigabit connection right now. 277 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,760 They're hard drives, so they're not going to be super fast. And I think you've only got gigabit to your system here. 278 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,920 You're going to probably want to rectify that. Do you have a two and a half gig switch? 279 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,040 No, I do not. That's some stuff I'll have to look into. 280 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:22,920 So that'll be something for your next tech upgrade, which I wouldn't mind doing. 281 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:31,240 It's nice hanging out. And you know what? It's nice implementing a tech upgrade that is other than a couple of egregious, uh, 282 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,600 wastes of money. Pretty practical. We ended up with a NAS for archival storage. 283 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,840 We ended up upgrading the TV setup in the living room with a nice little soundbar setup. 284 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:49,840 We ended up upgrading his audio, which will be fixed later, and we got a bunch of sick 285 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,840 streaming and freelancing gear. Did I miss anything? 286 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,720 I mean, there is the stuff that we haven't actually shot yet, we issued that afterwards or... 287 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,280 Oh, let's go look. Oh, you mean this? I covered this. 288 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:06,600 This was the egregious waste of money. So thank you very much, AMD, for sponsoring this ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade. 289 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,160 I will see you at the next one. No, no, no, you have to unbox that. 290 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,400 Why? It's way too cool. Just the ghost rider, everything else I don't care about. 291 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,080 Who cares? I care. I want to see this. 292 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:24,320 How do you not care about a demon skeleton? If you guys enjoyed this video, why don't you go check out Dennis's AMD Ultimate Tech 293 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:31,200 Upgrade. It had, honestly, more practical stuff than this one did. 294 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,840 This was the single most expensive item in the upgrade. How much was this? 295 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,600 Before tax was 900 Canadian. 296 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,040 Why would you be opening it? This has been like a holy grail. 297 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,200 I've wanted to get one of their statues for a long time. I mean, he's heavy. 298 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:55,720 I can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship of it, $600. 299 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,800 And this one, there's a lot more there, a lot more expensive. Right, because this is like no-name-ass hero. 300 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,800 Shut up. I've never even heard of ghost rider. 301 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,040 You've never heard of ghost rider? Nick Cage played him in a movie, twice. 302 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,680 I have never heard of ghost rider. I'm so sorry. Johnny Glaze. 303 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,680 Johnny Glaze? And we're done.
