Also, he is gonna help me build it.
Sammy, are you ready to build the most overpowered editing PC on Earth?
I've actually never built a PC, so it'll be fun. That's not even true.
I have personally fixed the PC that you massacred last time you built one.
My friend built it for me. Just like how my friend built this segue to our sponsor.
Okay. We were here for a long time. Now this is really easy to remember.
Okay, one, two, three, close. Sesame.
So, did you, did you torque it?
Like, did you click it? Yes.
Can I check? You don't check. It's just like my dad.
Doesn't trust me. It's not done.
Oh, you did set one, two, three. Yeah, hold one, hold two, and hold three.
Oh, I thought it meant like one, two, three. But you know, you have to finish them. Oh.
That's a tech tip for you, by the way, guys. I thought that it was better to start them all
and then finish them all, but it turns out that the official guidance from AMD
is actually to finish one, then finish, then finish.
Can I give you a tech tip as well? Sure. When I installed my AIO on my computer.
What are you doing? I'm twisting it. No, no, you're, it's fucking, you're camming out.
It's part of my story, it's part of my story. I twisted it so hard, my AIO, the screw snapped.
Okay, you clearly don't know how to use a torque wrench.
Okay. I don't know how to twerk. You have to go.
I also don't know how to finish.
Oh, it clicks? It clicks. Oh, I didn't know that.
You didn't tell me. You have to stop.
I don't know, I don't know. You have to stop when it clicks, don't keep going.
I don't know, I don't know, I'm scared.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry everybody watching this, I'm so sorry.
Why are you opening those fans? Oh, there's one next.
You put it all in front of me, you gave it to me.
If you give me something, I'm, you know what this guy has on his mind, only fans.
Shout out, Sophie Rain.
This video is either gonna crash and burn, or it's gonna be like another 10 million view mega banger
because of the whole clash of the generation's energy.
Sammy, what are you doing? I'm trying my best. Okay, so the IO goes in first.
He's kind of got the IO hooked on the IO here. So you gotta, this has gotta come down first over here.
Okay, so lift it up at the other end. Yeah, there you go. You can get that in there.
But like what if it scratches? Well, don't scratch it then. Wait, you have your thumb in the way of the IO.
How are you gonna put that in there like that? How do you hold this, this is still freaking heavy, man.
So you could, I don't know, you could kind of hold it here. Okay, so see, you just kind of lower it in there.
Oh. Yeah, so you just like that. And so like it's in like that.
Okay, can someone AI hit, AI my face onto his face?
I'm like actually sweating so much. I'm so anxious about this stupid,
why'd you say it breaks? If it didn't say, if you didn't say I would've been so fine.
Yeah, you would've been fine. It wouldn't have been like your personal PC
that I worked on that totally had standoff issues. Listen, I work for this PC.
I said, give me some please and then I got money.
That has nothing to do with whether or not you would break it installing the motherboard.
Did you spill your water bottle? No!
Wait, was that not water? That doesn't look like water. Always water.
Okay, all right. Oh my God, it's all, oh, Sammy.
This is why I don't, this is why you need LTE water bottle, not this redacted water bottle, I'm sorry.
What the heck? I'm sorry. I appreciate your time and effort helping me, Linus.
I thank you. Sammy, I appreciate your time and effort too.
Linus, I appreciate you starting this nice company and giving me a job so I can buy a house.
Sammy, what I don't appreciate is a kiss-ass. I'm not, it's called being appreciative.
So what are we doing here, Linus?
Oh, well, what I thought we were going to be doing
was installing your RGB fans, but it looks like there would actually be a trade-off
for that because these are 140 millimeter, so you're gonna get a little bit more cooling
just leaving these in and foregoing the RGB. Would you rather have RGB?
Okay, that was a really easy sales pitch and I really don't feel like hooking up RGB.
Yeah, I don't either. Adam, does this have dual pumps in it?
No, it has the pump in the, the pumps in the rad. I know, are there two?
I don't think so. I wouldn't look at it over here, I would look at it.
Well, I was... Yeah, fair.
The fact-checking guy in the chair gets up from his chair to come look with his monkey eyes.
Where would the other one be? I think there might be one on each side.
Oh, let me sort this out. Because there's two leads coming off of it and both of them have power.
And neither of them are the three leads that are the fans,
so I just don't know what else they would be. There's no RGB on it.
And that would explain why it's so expensive if it has redundant pumps.
If you look through here. Yeah, no, I see. I'm going to the thing.
See, I'm not drunk.
That's the one I'm looking at. Oh, this dual pump. See, I should have walked over here, it says right here.
Oh! Imagine if I, this is different, this is different than the one we requested.
Okay, well, we figured out why the AIO is so expensive.
It has bougie fans and features a dual pump design for redundancy.
And presumably while they're both working, you'll get slightly better head pressure
and therefore a little bit better performance. It also says right here. Yes.
Well, Adam showed a video. We were all there when Adam showed us.
He didn't show the video. Okay, the AIO is installed.
Yay, I did it. You did a lot of it.
Good job. Wow.
Look at this accessory package. You get knocked to a brown cable ties.
You get cable combs. Get whatever the crap this is.
Is this a right angle 24 pin power connector adapter thing?
And nice brown and black cables.
Yeah, buddy. You got to get something for your 800 plus dollars.
Do you even know if we need whatever it is you're doing? Yes, this is for the GPU.
Is it though? Are you sure? Yes.
How sure are you? Out of 10. I would put Sean's job on it, not my job.
Do you remember which ones I pointed at when I said for 5090s?
Yeah. What did they look like? A slot. Go ahead and plug it into them.
All right, cool. This goes in the butt.
My butt? Nope. Just stuff it all in there.
This is for AI or storing a gigantic scene
that you're working on rendering or whatever in 3D rendering.
You know what's crazy part? At some point, Lab's going to ask for this and I take a bag and I take it apart.
There's a solid chance. You know I can do a good impression of you.
Really? Yeah. So this is Linus when he's upset.
Okay. Fine.
People give me a lot of bad news throughout the day. I can't have a strong reaction to it anymore.
I always like a classic Linus laying on the floor.
I've never seen that yet. Really? I've seen it once in a photo.
But I've never seen Linus actually and I'm crazy frustrated. I can think better when I'm horizontal.
Do you want to go and grab a keyboard mouse maybe?
Oh, speaking of keyboard. Oh yeah, Sammy specifically requested this keyboard.
Sorry, what? You requested a Model M? Yeah, I love Model M.
You know you work in a shared office. Yeah, I told Evan, I'm sorry.
I requested this when I was working by myself. You know that we don't have a PS2 port.
I told him, why do we get this keyboard then? I don't know.
I said, are you sure you want that one? I thought you would get an adapter.
It's on the budget. Actually, I lied, I found an adapter.
Here you go. It's in the budget. Oh, this is the other way.
Wait, why the crap do I have so many PS2 to USBs?
We have a whole bin of the other way.
I mean, yeah, I don't know why we need that many of them.
I get why we have one or two. Let's just use a normal keyboard, Sammy.
Now I'm disappointed. Guys, if we get 10,000 likes,
we have enough budget for the next IBM one. I'm promising nothing.
I am actually vetoing this. Okay. I can't have this in a shared office space.
It's too annoying. No, when I asked for this, it was when I was like, by myself, that's why.
Got it. Did you get a mouse? No. Wait, I asked you to get peripherals
and all you did was go get a keyboard we can't plug in. Yeah.
You have a problem with that? This is why I think pre-builds are good.
Because contrary poverty beliefs, people don't want to do this.
Yeah, they do. Some people do. I liked it. I enjoyed it.
I had fun today. I'm not part of the audience. I like just buying my thing and having it work.
But look at this. Do you have, okay, hold on a second.
Now you know this was a very expensive computer. Do you have any idea what this would have cost
if you'd had someone build it for you though? I think.
For a couple grand, would you build it yourself?
Like, yeah, if it's like, if I'm thinking like five just grand, like sure.
Well, let's say it was a grand. For a grand difference in price, would you build it yourself?
I feel like. At this price, easily you're spending a grand, easy.
I feel like if I'm buying this at this price, I'm buying it because my company needs it.
Yeah. And therefore my time was more valuable. I did not build it.
So I would pay it out. So what are you saying about me?
That you're worth a grand. Thanks, Sammy.
That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
You are. You're worth a pretty penny.
But I, Bea, how much, do we have a pre-built version of this?
Or anything like that? Oh. How much would this roughly cost if we were to buy a pre-built?
Like some similar spec. It just depends because the only builders
that would even build something like this are gonna be guys like Falcon Northwest or Puget.
And generally speaking, their build fee is not like 50 bucks.
Yeah, it's like, yeah. Yeah, so they'll have a markup on the parts and then they usually charge anywhere
from like 500 and up for the actual build because it comes with support
and it comes with the potential liability
of them ending up on the hook for screwing something up or whatever
and we're dealing with very expensive parts. And it comes with the understanding of
the customer who buys something like this having really high expectations in terms of after-sales service.
Okay. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
Yes. I always forget. Always.
It's so scary. It's like anytime BitLocker gets involved,
I get worried. Is BitLocker? Yeah, no, it's fine though.
Okay. Dude, this is why I would not do well in Linux.
I just, I don't, this is a Windows PC. Yeah, no, no, no, that's not BitLocker.
That's just a warning that... Oh, no, in general, just any console messages,
I get scared. So I say it's BitLocker because of FTP-EVEN.
The equivalent price for a workstation from Puget Systems with the same specs
is going for about $25,000.
Okay, so I was wrong. It's a fair bit more than that. Well, like I said, after-sales support, baby.
I'm sure this is due to recent price increases because when we first looked at Puget Systems
that were similarly expected to this, it was close to like $20,000 almost on the dot.
So actually a very low premium. Oh, so I get to also kind of be right.
Nice. You're always right. Thanks, Adam. That's not true and you know that.
I'm aware. I have 2023. Because back...
They do it to bother me. I actually can't stand Ask History.
Like it drives me absolutely, like legitimately nuts. And we've moved past the point where people tease me
on camera in ways that they know doesn't actually bother me. Now they try to actually bother me
to get like the real reaction. I hate Ask History.
What's Ask History? Oh, Ask History.
This is Ask History. I hate Ask History. I hate that subreddit.
Can I ask a question? Yes. Why is it the crummy 2019 version?
That's a really good question and I don't have a good answer for you.
But the workstation boards and server boards tend to still use this same visual style,
but they are still UEFI. They're not just a BIOS.
Because I remember in the Threadripper embargo video
we did, it had the same thing. I was really curious about it. Do you want to turn on all the AI features?
Dude, I want the AI slop in my video.
I guarantee you it's because of old head. What do you think you can beat anyone
in terms of a video game? Like anyone. The game that I am the best in the world at?
No, I'm not the best in the world at any game. Not Beat Saber?
No, I'm not even close. I'm like not even elite tier Beat Saber.
I'm decent. I'm okay. No, because we wanted to build a PC on like,
you know how you did like the PC with the jackery and stuff?
Yeah. I was trying to do that for a short and then try to beat you in a video game for $100.
But I'm trying not to burn like $1,000 of cash.
Right, right, right, right, right. So you want something I could actually win at. Yeah.
But Beat Saber you'd have, it's also a mix of.
I'd beat almost anyone on the street at Beat Saber.
You'd have to be a pretty high level Beat Saber player to like cleanly beat me on, especially if it's a map I know.
It's also, I think, a mix of germs. That may be an issue with that one, but.
Yeah, you can get, there's lots of, you can get covers. Yeah, but hold on.
I mean, VR is like not relatable and like you can't easily screen cap it and stuff.
Okay, a game on a screen that I could beat.
So tape to tape? Almost anyone out. Yeah, I'm very good at tape to tape.
I think that you would go to the game because no one knows how to play it.
Because if you go around on the street, people aren't gonna be like, oh, I play this play tape.
Well, yeah, but if they ever played a top-down hockey game, it's basically the same thing.
I guess. Is Final Fantasy Tactics?
Yeah, I'm not even that good at Final Fantasy Tactics. It's more about like how you like build out your squad.
Like it's not about like how, it's not chess.
Not all the pieces are the same, you know?
Hey, progress. Why is it so squished?
I used to be pretty good at rock and roll racing.
What the fuck is this? It's a Super Nintendo game.
And I was only ever good at it on an emulator on my keyboard.
So I don't even know if I'm good at it on a controller and it's been 20 years.
I need a controller-based game, okay. Think about it more.
Okay. Good chat. I would challenge anybody to a game of Anno.
Yeah, yeah, Anno. They're for like three days just in the stream.
If we played Anno 16-02, I would probably beat almost anyone else alive right now.
16-02, what's the difference? 16-02 is the original one that like,
no one would even remember how to play. Oh yeah, Adam, how much of the budget is left over?
Barely. Like how much, we should use that budget.
I'll have to do the math. We should use that budget and,
we should use that budget and get a paid tweet on Linus's personal Twitter account.
I mean, if you wanna pull that out of your budget, Sammy. Yeah. What do you think Linus?
How much would, that would depend if Linus wants to charge you?
Linus, how much would you charge for a personal tweet on your personal Twitter account?
I don't do brand deals on my personal account. Yeah, but this is what the budget left over, you know?
It's not a brand deal, it's Sammy deal. What?
Okay, do you want the computer or not? I do, I'll help you out.
That bit's good. Okay, are you gonna shut your old one down? Or wait, well, you know what, you don't know, you do it.
What? Yeah, what am I doing this for? All right, you can do it tomorrow.
Okay. Okay. Yeah, we'll pick this up tomorrow, I think.
Yeah, okay. Thank you kindly, sir.
You're welcome. Oh my goodness, it's really heavy.
Wait, what the heck? It's not practical.
That's what comes with this $20,000 purchase. Oh, okay, oh, you got like your dishes on your desk
and everything, what the? I told you it was messy. Living like an animal in here.
I was eating my lunch. Okay, well, where does it go? Under there.
Well, how am I, okay, I'll just do everything. Yeah, what thing I'm paying you for?
I earned those 20,000 bands.
This guy. Do you guys want to explain what you're doing, maybe?
We'll see if he's getting like an $18,000 computer
and Linus wants to make sure he uses it.
So we're installing the largest camera we own.
Beautiful.
You know what, with my luck, I'm gonna hit a stud.
That's good enough, if it's kind of crooked,
it's kind of great.
I need the drill with the a half-inch bit, please, and thank you.
Linus, what are you filming? Nothing, nothing. It's over here.
Yeah. Do you have a small trash bag or a trash can in here?
I do. You do? You want to get that?
Okay. Little bit, I can try. My heart is not getting dry, well, that's everywhere.
Look at that, I didn't hit a single stud.
That's a no. It looks a little crooked.
Perfectly leveled. Yeah, it's good enough.
All right, I need the base now.
This one? Actually, I need an Ethernet cable to plug into the PoE.
Okay. All right, now I need that, and then out on the desk out there,
there should be two hex head bolts.
Two hex head bolts?
Yes. Please, thank you.
I need a study. There's one on that shelf.
Is there? Yep. In the boxes, one of the small boxes.
Oh, yeah. That's a big one.
This is the largest camera we own. I don't really know why we haven't used it.
Are you going to feel comfortable having that, just hovering above your head?
I don't know about that.
We got time, right? Oh, yeah.
You got an hour, probably. Okay. I wanted to mount this on the desk.
I left the desk mount base on, the slide of bones.
This can mount on the desk like this.
So you can use it as like a conference camera kind of thing?
Yeah, I guess so. I left the desk mount on, that's why I wouldn't go.
This is the horn, so Linus can yell at Sammy.
We weren't going to mount it on the wall, but I think it goes right there.
My pizza. Oh, you should hide it.
The horn? You won't notice it.
It's actually a good one. I need another Ethernet cable.
You'll probably wonder where, why there's an Ethernet cable,
just like running down the wall. A second one?
Yeah. I don't think it'll think that hard.
Put a pizza box. What's that?
It's like one of those Amazon order buttons. Is that just for pizza?
He's holding the lid, orders a pizza for you. It's not going to be here long?
I don't think so. Then why we put all this effort in? I don't know, because it's funny.
If it works, that should just do a little dance.
Do a little dance. Did you unplug the Ethernet from the Pee Wee?
Injector to run it through?
No.
Are we getting Blinkies? One.
One's blinking? Oh, okay, there's one.
Oh, okay. They were switched, that's why.
Look at him go.
Hello, he likes me.
Got the monitor?
Is this like a ubiquity screen? Yeah.
Interesting. And he can control like the PTC with the screen?
That's so funny.
Oh, why is it upside down? How do I flip it?
That's dizzying.
I made a mess, I'm sorry.
Maybe we had the monitor the right way the first time.
There we go. Wow. You can watch Sammy and make sure that he uses his incredibly expensive computer.
They fixed it.
