Okay, we're not actually related, and I'm pretty sure I'm older than him,
but hanging out with Lucas makes me feel like the little brother,
and we can't start his AMD $5,000 Ultimate Tech upgrade
until we can find some way to get us both in the freaking shot.
Maybe this will work. Lucas works hard on power supply testing for the lab.
We can't shoot the whole video like this. Cut.
We can't make him shorter, so we're gonna have to make me taller.
These are, wow, these are some incredible crocs. Okay, how's that?
Ah, that's more like it.
I have never used these before. What could go wrong?
Okay. Hey, that's better.
Ah, anyway, like I was saying, Lucas works on Power Supply Circuit
and Power Supply Reviews on LTTLabs.com. I can't believe it's taken so long
for an LTT Labs member to get a $5,000 Ultimate Tech upgrade.
From our sponsor AMD. But here we are, both high as fuck,
and ready to get to work. Get it?
It's a high good thing, you know? You're like, not even that much taller.
Before we get to the upgrade, as is tradition, we've got a...
All right, I think we're gonna have to lose the stones. DING DONG
DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG
DONG DONG DONG DONG
If it's AMD upgrade time, then it must also be AMD Sweepstakes time.
You could win one of three AMD's 5 Upgrade bundles featuring
the fastest gaming CPU on the market, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D,
along with an ASUS motherboard and 32 gigs of DDR5 RAM.
Check out the link in the description for your chance to win. I think we're just gonna have to live with this.
Anyway, to be honest, given what a minimalist you are,
I don't think we're gonna find that much stuff from the office here.
You don't even have the decency to steal an LTT Store water bottle.
No. Aha! He has paid for that one.
You think? It's probably comped. There's no way you bought this D-brand Rubik's Cube.
Probably used a gift from D-brand. A gift from D-brand, really.
There's no way you bought an Apple polishing cloth.
It's a gift. From who? From my brother.
Really? Yeah. Was your brother memeing? No, no.
Oh, this is gonna be a problem. If I have to kneel to look at something, you're not gonna, anyway.
The point is, this computer is definitely pilfered.
Christmas party. That's what they all say. And these D-brand dark plates.
I know the gift from D-brand. The gift from D-brand. I guess this explains how D-brand
always knows what I'm up to. My entire staff is moles.
And I don't think I'm gonna find anything else in here.
Like, literally anything else. It feels like we're bringing more stuff in here
than there already was. Is minimalism a lifestyle?
Is it? I don't like clutter, I don't know. Can you explain the random sheet of cardboard
under your bed that I only know about because I went and put my backpack in there?
That's where I throw all the clutter. So the cardboard is like a floor protector?
I think it's protective, yeah. And the LED strip around the cardboard? It looks cool.
That's a vibe, got it. When you're taller, you can't see the cardboard.
Admittedly, that is true. They do look pretty cool.
Yeah, I programmed them myself for this random rainbow star pattern.
One piece of clutter, though.
It's just breadboarded. Nice.
Actually, there is one more notable piece of clutter. What's going on with this right now?
I was hit by a car. I can't bike very much, so, you know.
Maybe a new television will make you feel better.
You can watch it on the Tour de France. Cool, let's have a look.
All right, there's the back of the TV. So normally, we're upgrading someone's TV,
but now you just have a TV now. Was not having a TV before part of the minimalism thing,
or just... Laziness, I guess? I don't know.
Got a good screen on my laptop. It's funny because if I hadn't immediately
moved out with Yvonne, other than probably being messier than this,
this is probably what my place would have been like. Like, when we first moved into our house,
even with Yvonne and her desire for furniture and things,
we just had a mattress on the floor. Like, we didn't even have a bed frame to start with.
Like, you at least have a bed frame. I got you there, yeah. Yeah, nice. Thank you.
Let's put the stand on. And maybe while we do that, you can tell me why you chose the LG C3.
It's one of the top three or four OLEDs. They're just really the C4, but I think it's only a bit brighter and not too much else.
Yeah, I think it will be pretty good. Especially given you're upgrading from zero.
Laptop, yeah. Yeah. I feel like this is gonna be one of those videos
where like half the comments are like, Linus' company doesn't pay enough
because Lucas can't afford to own anything.
Okay, where does it go? You don't by any chance have a TV stand, do you?
In a box, yeah, in two boxes. Oh, really? I assumed like your level of minimalism,
it was just gonna like... I'm also taller, so.
That might work for some. Is this couch new or did you like have a couch?
My mom insisted on it when she came over for my surgery.
You did not own a couch until your mom came to visit you.
No, yeah, that cardboard is from the couch, so. Before we do the furniture,
we've gotta clean the floor. I noticed two things actually.
First, I noticed that your place is immaculately clean,
like too clean, like you have picture hangers on the wall, but no pictures on them, like it's weird.
So then why do you need this then? You look really fancy.
I don't know, it's very time to butt get the best of everything, so.
It's not a great value. No, no. How much was this?
It's like a thousand Canadian. I know.
I think the fancy thing about this is there's a laser in the head here, so.
A what? A laser, so it shows like dust or something.
What? There's a picture on the blocks, I think. Reveals invisible dust.
You didn't even know it was dirty. If you don't know, like does it matter?
You can feel it, you can tell. That looks like trash.
That looks nothing like the picture on the box. That's a little laser.
Turn off the lights. Well, no, I just mean it's all on the one side,
like where's their diffusion layer?
You can see that dust. I mean, yeah, but I could see that already.
Oh, it's just there's no dust here. Dude, there is no dust on your floor.
This place is like borderline neurotically clean, like you know that, right?
Thanks. Comes with a wall now though.
Are you okay mounting anything on the wall?
Like I couldn't help noticing. The previous tenant had pictures.
You were like, yeah, the hangers were okay, I guess, but that's the most I can handle.
Don't like leaving a mark, I don't know. But there's already a mark. You could put something on it.
I was thinking about like hanging my Lego map, but it's very heavy and probably wouldn't be supported
by those. Lucas, you keep this place so tidy.
I think they'd probably be okay if you put like a drywall anchor in the wall.
Look at the anxiety here. This is hilarious. I'm about to break his brain.
If you don't wall-mount it, it will go on the floor and it will be clutter.
I'll tell you what, Lucas, as my gift to you, when I go to Home Depot to get some drywall anchors,
I will bring back a little bit of spackle. Would that satisfy you?
Sounds good. Okay, decide where your wall-mounting is. I don't know if it's in a closet.
I don't know if there's power in there. Probably. Do you want to make it up?
Gotcha. Wait, wait, we've really got to watch out for this.
This is a flip-dot display or it's like electromechanical. No way!
Yeah, it's an electromechanical display. It's made of these tiny discs
and they have a little magnet in them and then underneath there's coils of wire
and you flip them back and forth using, you know, by running current through the coils of wire.
So what are you going to use it for? Is it a clock? Is it an expression of your-
An expression of your- Not decided yet. Minimalism, maybe you'll just have it all white.
Yeah. Maybe build a frame for it or get more of them
and put them all together. But they're quite expensive, so. Right, what's one of these worth?
Like $700.
Oh no, I left a mark on the floor. When I was sliding the table, it's really bad.
I'm not convinced.
You need to work on your acting. Oh.
His mama didn't raise no fool. She just raised someone who doesn't think couches are necessary.
There isn't like a regular outlet. There's just power for the washing machine, so.
Nope, it's going to have to be mounted somewhere else. Got him.
Under the bed. No, you can't put it under the bed.
I think probably this corner would work. I want to see him put a hole in something.
I just, I don't know. There's like kind of like a weird, almost perverse like desire to just like
watch him violate his wall. I have a broken hand thing, so.
Oh, like yeah, I guess it's. It's a lot. I can't even play badminton, so.
Sorry, what were you saying about your deposit and holes in the wall?
I'll just bill you for my security deposit.
All right, and. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Ah, shut up.
Boop. We're charging. This could be a short extension for you.
You wanted it longer, right? So, I mean, there, look, now you have an extension.
So let's see. Okay, how far can you reach? Oh, God.
Just a lot of articulation.
What happened? Does he get older? Well, look. Oh, man.
And as promised, here's your putty knife and spackle for when you're going to need this later.
I'll throw it under the bed for you. Oh, great, thanks. Now, why don't we talk about your soundbar?
I guess you missed the video we did on how you can build a full 5.1 surround setup
off Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the cost of a soundbar.
Yeah, that one would be a bit too late for me to mix in choices.
I also feel like it really wouldn't have been your style. No, I do like this one, you know, it's nice compact.
Not too much of a sound guy. I don't like, you know, loud noises, so.
Plus, I think it's like, like home kit compatible and all that stuff, so that's nice.
Just use it for other. Yeah, thank you.
This is the ultimate contrast. Now, your whole thing is like, you know,
evaluating power products. So, surge protectors, actually necessary, placebo.
They will probably have components in there and it's hard to say about each individual one,
but yeah, they will have, you know, surge mitigating components in there, so good to have.
This is something that drives me crazy. Every TV manufacturer must know
that you're going to have a soundbar under it and yet none of them leave a spot to rub the cable for it.
If I designed products, they would be different. Speaking of designing products,
do we have any of the power bar mounting things?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we do.
Let's go magnetic cable management. Oh, wow. Oh, this is cute.
Huh, wow, those Swedes.
While Jordan finishes cable managing the TV, I was thinking, Lucas, you and I could work
on your new gaming system.
Great. Why do you even need a new system? You just got that computer last year.
It's very large. Yeah, you wouldn't have any space
to put something as big as that computer. All these new additions, you know,
gotta make some room. Okay, well, what'd you go for? 7800X3D, obvious choice, obviously.
A little bit early for the new 9800.
Also, they're completely out of stock everywhere because people keep buying them.
Way to go, people. And then a small case, power supply, obviously.
We have a review for this one on the LTT Labs website. Oh, and so this one's good?
That's a good one, yeah, good choice. Okay, all right, thank you.
I mean, you can believe him out of literally everyone who works here.
He's the one who knows. What else have we got here? 32 gigs of G-Skill memory, DDR5 6000 CL30.
It's pretty much your sweet spot for AM5 right now. So you're carrying over your GPU from your old system?
Existing one, yes. Now, you have a pretty mid-range GPU in there
and this raised some questions for me. Exactly what games are you playing
such that you need a 7800X3D, second fastest gaming ship on the planet, basically.
But you like, don't need a GPU? Play mostly Rocket League and...
Oh, that happens to be a game that like, runs pretty good.
Thank you. But a lot of this, a lot of decisions were
helped by John at the lab as well. He knows a lot about computers, so.
Are you building the computer? Do you build computers? Or do you just test power supplies? I've never built a computer, no.
Well, there's no time like the present.
I'm excited. Yeah, let's do it. And by let's, I mean you.
Great. Single monitor, extra tall desk to mount.
Nice. Hey, Rhys, are you looking for something to do?
Do you want to build this? Oh no, what are you building?
A blue thing. A blue thing? For the bike.
Is it a stand? A stand, yeah. Like a repair stand. Cool.
Oh, so you are going to fix it, we hope. Well, I'll have another bike eventually.
Is that one not fixable? No, it's a write-off.
That the frame's bent, like, skewed, so. You're getting distracted.
You're supposed to be building the computer, though. Right. He's avoiding it.
He's worried you guys will judge him. You wouldn't do that, would you?
This is better framing for the two of us than if you stand, so.
Nicely featured board. Got PCIe Gen 5 for both M.2 and PCIe by 16 slot.
So you'll be ready for future GPU upgrades. Got front USB-C support.
Ah, got a couple M.2 slots. Yeah, carry on.
Don't let me get in the way. Do I remove that? What you do is you lift it up without removing that.
Okay, so just remember. You damage those pins, it's game over. No pressure, though.
Arrows? Oh yeah. Now you have to do it again for the close-up.
Yeah, doing things for the camera. First CPU install, let's go.
Oh wow, fun fact. This breaks Sherrod's law of memory installation alignment.
Oh no, no, that's right. No, no, you were right the first time, nevermind. Yep, no, this follows Sherrod's law.
Sherrod's law states that you don't have to look at the key on the memory module.
You just look at the location of the sticker. And the most cosmetically appealing side
is usually facing away from the CPU socket. It's one of those things where if you're not computer sexual,
I don't blame you for not knowing which side of a memory module is the more attractive one.
Right. Memories in, do you remember what's next?
I think it would be to either install in the case or I think I have to dismantle my previous computer.
Oh yeah, you have no storage. Some of this stuff, yeah. Cool. Pulling out of that one.
All right, let's do it. I couldn't help noticing something over here, by the way. You have a PC, but you actually go out of your way
to use an Apple keyboard. Wait, you use Time Machine. Hold on a second, oh, there's your MacBook.
This isn't even on. Do you even use this thing? Is it for Rocket League?
That's about it. This is the part I'm the expert at, you know, unplugging PCIe.
Nice. Power. Yeah, I guess you do that a lot.
Probably hundreds of computers worth. He's in his comfort zone right now, folks.
Oh, now he's out of it. Is that the wrong one? I mean, you'll have to remove that one eventually,
but not now. It's a lot, yeah, it's a lot harder when that other one is in the way of it.
There you go. Every time I see a post on Reddit or on the form or whatever,
building to use is easy. It's just Lego for adults.
I think you're taking for granted all of the things that you have experienced before.
Like, I think if you put a Lego kit in front of someone with no instructions,
yeah, yeah, building a computer is about like that for people who haven't done it before.
And there's like 100 different mechanisms for the PCI retention, like.
Is this actually holding in? I can't even see, I think it's just brace. Yeah, it is.
I don't know, is it like bolt in or just brace? You tell me.
I actually really like that. I didn't know that main gear used braces like that
to hold the GPUs in place, but that's Wicked Smart. Oh my goodness.
That's just ludicrous. Okay. Is this like standing desk
when you're too cheap to get a standing desk or like? What? Human.
Right? Requires this, I f...
He's like... He's like...
Okay, I think it might actually be too tall even for you.
Yeah, I was planning on using two bars. So you can buy it in one bar or three bar.
I have the one bar, I probably need a two bar. I will take out a bar.
Okay, yeah, let's take out a bar. We're almost done the bike stand or whatever this thing is.
It is a bike stand, right? This thing? Stand, yeah. Like a repair stand.
I don't know what I'm saying. I'm gonna assume it's a bike stand. It's kind of like the snap on of bike tools.
Oh really? So this was like, hey, thanks AMD. I wouldn't pay for this myself kind of purchase.
Yeah, but it's nice and sturdy and glue. Right. So like, how much weight can it support?
Like, could I... I'm not done here, I'm not done here yet.
You're getting distracted again. Yeah, right. Just reusing your old solid-time drive.
We've got a phantom spirit that's going into Lucas's machine. This is gonna be more than enough
to keep that 7800X3D cool. I think I was told for clearance reasons
that I need these. For clearance reasons? Like to the case for the, I'm not sure.
See, there's all the wiring that we need to build a functioning computer.
And then you basically double or triple it if you want to put any RGB in it. And you...
I'm fine without RGB. Oh. So we're just not gonna have to... Just run it black, yeah.
Oh. We're not gonna be here all day.
Hey, look at that. Reese has done the bicycle stand. Why are you tightening it up so much?
It's like, you know that I'm gonna try to hang off it. Absolutely. Oh yeah, we could put a bike on it.
Okay. So now you can, without like breaking your poor back,
is this a fancy bike? This is like a mid-tier, not that fancy.
Okay, so no carbon fiber, but... No, no, no. It's like, yeah, aluminum.
It's hard to find a really big bike. I was gonna say.
Yeah. Slim pickings. Right.
You are not building a computer again. Oh yeah.
I want maybe like a bit lower. Okay, first of all, my feet are dangling off the floor
unless I point my toes. And that chair's too short for me.
Yeah, okay. And second of all, my eyes are about this height.
For proper ergonomics, your eyes should be at about this point in the top of the screen.
So I'll just adopt Adam Sondergaard's computer using posture.
Well, he's gonna have to throw it away then.
Doesn't fit. Jordan says that I have to talk about the tech sack.
It holds lots of stuff. Okay, you can get our precision screwdriver in there.
I keep some side cutters and a pair of pliers. I also keep like a pile of our screwdrivers in here.
And the reason that I do that is because they're all color-coded for the different loadouts I have for them.
This is my standard bit set. This is my Imperial hex.
This is my metric hex. And then this one is my specialty.
So I got my tri-wings, all that kind of stuff in there.
LTTstore.com. Okay, sorry, what do you need? I was just gonna try to make the oil.
Just go until they don't go anymore. It was clicking.
Yeah, that's fine. That's good, it's a good click. I think fans next.
Yeah, let's do fans.
I know. We were memin' it for the intro, but also acknowledging that it was gonna be a real problem.
Look how far bent over he is. An awful posture.
You guys just watch. He's gonna be a wizard with the power supply cables.
He's gonna plug those things in so fast, so flawlessly.
Give me that power supply, let's go. So that goes in the case now.
How are you doing, Jordan? Good. We have a lovely rug for us here.
Oh, we got a rug. Beautiful. Where'd the rug come from?
Seems cheap. Home Depot, I think, I don't know. Home Depot, nice.
It's Jonathan Y. John Finney? John Finney?
Yeah. Designer. I can just see it. Your mom's gonna come in next time she visits.
She's gonna be like, my goodness, is that a Jonathan Y? It's a Jonathan Y.
Let's go, Reese and Jordan. Can you guys help Lucas out here?
Yeah, well, we don't even know where I want it. You just focus on mounting this power supply.
You let Reese. He's got an interior design background.
He's got you covered. Yes. No?
Okay, sure. Absolutely the experts. You can put anything on your residence.
That's true. I did. I lied, I don't. Okay, so did you guys find the Lego stuff?
Oh, okay. There's little bricky things in there. There's little guys right here. Cool.
How you doing over here? Wow, good progress. Power supply is in there.
Look at that. And you even got one modular cable plugged into it. You're tall, Lucas.
Is that what it looks like? Is it not? I don't know.
Do you not like it? I wasn't trusted with the power, so I'm using my power.
You just have to trust Reese. Trust the process. Or don't.
That's totally fine. Sure, let's see. Well, he didn't seem very confident there.
That was a pretty pregnant pause there. Do you want to?
I think it was some thought. Do you want it over there? I don't know what you guys think.
Nope, yes. I told you what I think. Yeah, let's put it there.
That sounds good. Beauty. Good enough for me.
You can talk from his tone of voice. He's super happy with this decision.
Yeah, we should plug in some power cables and stuff first. Let's see if you can figure out
how to plug in the power supply. He doesn't have to work with me day to day, so this is probably his highest dose of me in my effort.
I can't even get this thing. Oh, that's funny. After all, after all my ribbing you,
you actually can't plug in the power supply. For testing, it's all on a really flat board,
so it's really nice and easy. Oh, don't look, don't look, don't look.
We're out there again. Lucas, you're looking. They told you not to look.
We specifically said it. They said not to watch. Please don't look.
Well, you don't know can't hurt you. Yeah, the tweedles over there are really kind of hard
to look away from right now. My mom always used to do that.
She'd refer to two of us as tweedledy and tweedledum,
and she'd never specify which one of us was dumb in that moment.
It was usually me. Well, it breaks the place up. Yeah, what do you think?
It's good. It's nice. Looks level. Thank you.
It was very little confidence. I'm glad you're smart. So this is going to be one of the most transformative
transformations, I think, because we really did start with a very flat slate.
Also, I got you this. Ultimate upgrade. Oh, thank you. Wow.
I can put this somewhere else down. Yeah. I just don't understand how they're supposed
to hold this in. You see what I mean here, right? Like, how am I supposed to,
where are the devil am I supposed to put this thing? You know? Okay, I'm just going to find a couple of spots
where it kind of lines up and just go for it.
Seems to be the theme today. What are you saying about the fine work they did
mounting that Lego art on the wall? Okay, well, I'm sorry.
This is the best I can do. You're just going to have a bundle of cables
hanging here above your fans. There go the standards.
Well, yeah, well, yeah. You told me not to bother hooking up the RGB anyway,
didn't you? That's what I spent this whole time doing.
I totally forgot. I just, it's a reflex.
I just see cables. I hooked them up. I don't think. Woo!
See, but now that you've got the RGB, right? No regrets, right?
How could I ever turn this off? Yeah, exactly. There she goes.
Nice. All right, perfect. Well, that's great news. You're going to get so many more FPS in Rocket League.
Okay, let's continue. Where, hey, where do you want this?
That's just been living on my desk. They actually have, I have had for a little while.
Probably going to stay there for now until I can build a frame of sort or something for it.
Okay, I do want to log in. I guess you'll need a keyboard.
Oh, you got, oh, we got a new mouse and keyboard. Oh, wow. That is a really good thing.
These are the, these are from iBuyPower. Those are the free ones from Sammy's PC
that he bought at the Christmas party. Yeah, okay.
They're awful, yeah. Yeah, okay. There you go. Well, I mean, you know,
they're just worth $10 or something. Well, this is an upgrade. Keychron K2HE wireless magnetic switch keyboard.
Kinda chose this one, kinda, you know, just winging it. Really?
Well, you know, I like the Apple chiclet keyboard, so. Right, so basically we should just ignore
any of your taste in keyboards anyway. Probably, yeah. Okay.
I mean, that sounds a little better than the Apple keyboard, doesn't it?
I think it sounds nice, yeah. I like the Apple keyboard, it doesn't make any sound at all,
but. Okay, what'd you go with for mouse?
Razer Death Outter V3 Pro. All right.
I mean, realistically, it's like Rocket League, so like. Yeah.
Well, it could branch out. I'm not actually not sure. Wait, you use a controller, don't you?
For right, yeah, yeah, yeah, for you. Okay, good.
To the stage, we're playing Rocket League with keyboard and mouse, you're doing it wrong. Wow, yeah, no, that does look good.
Looks clean. Do you not have a mouse pad? No.
Lucas. I got a table. What? Ugh.
I don't even have one at work anyway. Either.
But. Lucas, I grant you my on-camera permission
to steal a mouse pad from work.
He's not gonna do it even, is he? Cause he could have one at his work station for nothing.
I think I have one in my closet. There's one in the closet?
Yeah. Okay, well let's go get the mouse pad. No, no, we need the mouse pad.
Wait, you totally have, like, one of the really nice designer edition LTT mouse pads.
Great. I can't wait to use it.
Okay, there. See, oh, look how much nicer that is.
See, does that not feel better on the mouse? Not really.
But thanks.
It's not minimalist enough.
Come on, that can't be the reason. We really are a fascinating group of people.
What are you trying to say? That's actually it. Yeah.
I'm trying to say that I get it, Lucas. I see you.
That's what I'm trying to say. I don't know if I'm minimalist or anything,
but, you know, I just like, things clean and organized a bit, you know?
Brother, you didn't have a couch till your mother made you buy one.
This would be a fun WAN Show discussion topic. Who, out of everyone who's gotten an upgrade so far
has had the most serial killer abode?
You're really interested to see the audience debate it.
See, Lucas would have nowhere to stash a body, right? Like, you know where to hide it, so.
Under the bed? Maybe one of these clothes.
Dude, are you seeing this? That is so cool.
I was just sitting here and it was all like, hey, look, I'm upside down.
That is sick.
Look at it go.
So cool. Whoa, no way, okay, what are we looking at?
Is this, what is this? This is just random patterns of noise, like, they call it purlin' noise.
It's a mathematical way to do it. You got, like, cloud formations or stuff like this.
Okay. But it's just very mesmerizing to look at. It's a little loud, hey?
It can be loud, yeah. It depends, like, where you put it and stuff. If you're just in, like, a quiet space like this,
it's kind of loud. Could you, like, mount it behind,
like, a double-pane glass thing or something? You could do it behind glass or something, you know?
Oh, no way, that is so cool! I just have a bunch of, like, demos, basically.
All right, you ready to show us your rocket-leaf skills?
That's pretty cool! Okay, well, you're definitely better than me already.
You could remember the controls without having to lift them up, so that's a step.
My son and his friends do stuff in this game that I'm just, like...
Yeah, I'm sure they're, like, nine-year-olds that are, like, incredibly better than me and stuff.
I don't get it. Fatboy the Rizgod, gotcha. Have you tried being more of a Rizgod?
Because then, yeah, you might beat him. Okay, casual, like, 400 FPS.
I can see why you don't play on the PlayStation. Yeah, yeah. Well, also, Ultrawide,
the PlayStation can't even do that, I think.
PlayStation still can't do that? Not when I used to play, like, a year ago, at least.
Really? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so, but it must be. How do they, there's so many
Ultrawide displays these days, though. Ultrawide monitors.
Nobody's got an Ultrawide TV, you know what I'm saying? The TV thing, yeah, you put it on TV.
Like a plug. It's ironic, because so much movie content is Ultrawide.
You'd think they would just have Ultrawide TVs. It's...
Yeah, hey, TV manufacturers. Wake up.
Where's, like, Ultrawide TVs? You guys are looking for some excuse
to charge a premium in this space, right?
Bring out another, nobody wants a rolling TV.
Wide cinematic TV, huh? You're welcome.
What do you, you still watch it? Gold! Is the Apple TV part of the upgrade or no?
I kind of already owned that, but it wasn't set up before. But yeah, what did you even hook it up to?
You didn't have a TV. Nothing, it was in a box, in a box.
So it was just Apple. No TV.
This will be my first time hearing the Beam V2. I heard good things about the original Beam.
There's definitely frequencies it struggles with.
Man, that TV looks good, though. Got a surprising amount of rumble for not having a sub.
It's got a little bit. Yeah, I think you can buy, like, additional,
like, add-ons like Bluetooth, right? Yep, yeah, you can get a sub
and you can actually get surrounds as well, which if you wanted a bit more of a, like, immersive sound,
that would help, but it seems like you don't care.
You probably have to wall mount them. Are we really gonna keep this rug like this?
I don't know. Probably not. Yeah.
We'll see how it goes. Okay, cool. And you'll move the couch closer.
Once we leave and stop criticizing him,
but with that said, I don't actually think there's too much to criticize.
I thought this was a super practical upgrade, laser-focused PC upgrade, adding that 7800X3D,
getting, like, 400 frames per second in Rocket League, where every competitive edge counts.
We've got a really nice upgrade to your bike stand.
The bike is... Need some work, yeah, yeah. TBD, but, dude, you went from zero
to actually a pretty sick movie-watching spot. So you're gonna start with Lord of the Rings?
And then Breakfast Club? Yeah, that sounds good.
I was ranting about it at once. No, I don't wanna watch it again. Overrated movie.
I finally watched Breakfast Club last night. An absolute piece of garbage.
Literally nothing happens. Nobody learns anything.
Oh no, I'm gonna get attacked on the internet.
