However close you think you have to stand, stand much closer. Like be a
Seinfeld close talker because the way the camera sees us, we look much farther
apart than we are. So the camera adds distance, it adds weight, it
removes enthusiasm. So however enthusiastic and into something you
think you are, the camera's like, it absorbs no energy. So that's my
that's my masterclass on how to host a video in 30 seconds or less. This is
your computer building experience. So we're gonna do it the way that you want
to do it. If you want to use your system memory to open boxes then, yeah before I
need that though. All right, let's have some fun. Manual important. Manual not
important. Oh, but the things in it are. Oh cool, these things. I think so. Little nuts and bolts. Yeah, they're
screws but that's really close, that's good. Some classic. No, that's cool, that's a
mesh. It's a mesh air filter. Okay, you're doing great. Sorry, whoops, it's just stuck
there. Runs in the family. Is that an inside joke? I often drop things on camera because I'm
like just in a hurry and stuff, you know. You know how it is, right? I've never seen anything like that before. I've never seen mesh. Wow, you're gonna be really easy to
impress today. It feels really expensive, like expensive mesh. It's solid. It's solid mesh. Well, it's porous mesh but it's mesh. You know, yeah, it's not solid. Okay. This is your case. This is the fractal design pop air and it's not that we're stereotyping. I just legitimately did think you might
appreciate a case with pink accents. What do you think? I love it. You do? Are you sure? I didn't know what the other color was. Cerulean? Cerulean. Oh, cyan. Okay, light blue. Cerulean. Something else. Also light blue. No. Yeah. So would you prefer pink or cyan? I don't know. Oh, pink, yeah. One pro tip. You're gonna want to like stage acting. Open yourself up to camera a little bit. So it's natural to stand and talk to me like this. But just like that.
Okay. Yeah. I'll mirror your body language. Yeah. Perfect. I'm used to that. Okay. Wow. Looks good. That was great. I feel like the fans go here. Are these fake fans? Oh, no, they're real ones. Oh, no, they're real fans. They're real fans. Okay, what would you do next? I feel like I want to take the plastic off the glass, but maybe I should leave it there because it's
protects it. Okay. That's good. So I feel like it probably opens. You can put this on if you want it. Oh, cool. That's fun. It's a magnet. Oh, that probably goes right there. Does it not? No, it doesn't. It does. Yeah, it does. Nice. Solid. Looks really good. What's next? Yeah. We're throwing it right into this. Typical big brother fashion.
In front of literally like two million people.
Okay. Okay, I feel like this opens. Yeah. This is a tab. Yeah, that's good. Wow. I didn't know that. Oh, I probably don't need that. This is cool. I have never actually seen this case in person before. Look, it has a little place to store your makeup or whatever. What actually goes in there?
Anything. Anything you can imagine. I mean, growing up with her, I'd imagine all kinds of things will end up in here. Little jewels and, yeah, a little frog. Oh, that's something.
Yeah, something gets bolted there. It could. Probably we won't use those though. Oh, okay. Just kidding. So we don't need to open that because we didn't know that was there. Yeah, but you could put anything you wanted in there.
Blue light glasses. Yeah. To use with the computer. Yeah, I use those. Do you really? Yep. Wow. I have no benefits. They're free. So I have met one person who actually unironically uses blue light glasses. Well, they filtered blue light.
But they also like to look at zoom all day. It makes my eyes feel less strained. Okay, it could be in my head.
And both trained martial arts together, by the way. It's true. She doesn't remember much. I don't know how to do anything.
Some of us trained harder than others. Okay, I feel like this side. I'm feeling this side too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is where the meat and potatoes is going to happen. Yeah. Do I take them off or will everything fall apart? I sincerely hope you like the screwdriver. I love it. Well, you haven't used it yet. Well, I used it before. I saw it before. Okay, you got to use the ratchet though, the ratchet. Oh, this guy?
The ratchet. Yeah. Oh, nice. Now you're screwing it back in. Oh, just testing it. Yeah. Works. Works great. Okay. Okay, so you're going to want to. I don't actually use many screwdrivers. You want to crack it open and you can just go like this too. Oh, cool. Nice. Tools.
Oh, it doesn't come all the way out probably. Nope. Nope. These are captive screws. Cool. So they just come out a little and then you're going to want to pull on them. To take them out. Yeah.
Well, no, to take the whole panel off. Yeah, there you go. Okay, just whatever you do. Don't shatter that glass. Need that. Yeah, we do. Okay. Well, here you can put it in here. Put it somewhere safe. Put it in here. Hold on. Hold on. She's going to need a little bit of help.
This looks really good. Yeah, you've done great so far. This comes off. That's cool. Yeah, leave that on. Yeah, nice little peel there. You can pull that off if you want. Sure.
It's satisfying. Slimy yet satisfying. Don't say something gross. What? It's a Lion King quote. Are you serious? Yeah, when they eat the bugs. I don't have kids. I watched the Lion King with you. It came out in 1994.
Anyway, don't make me blush. Let's see if we can make her match the computer case. No, I feel a bit stumped. Maybe open a new box. Yeah, let's open a new box. That looks familiar. Sure. This is something that you don't know if I need. Yeah.
Sorry, not in the middle. This is cool. This is very well packaged. Good. I like good packaging. You should only think about it with cosmetics, but this is nice too.
Look, you told me not to make dirty jokes. Now you're talking about how you like good packages. That tells me far more about my brother-in-law than I needed to know. Why don't you pick another one? Pick another one. Let's have some fun here. This is going to be good.
For you? Okay, this is cool. Wi-Fi. I feel like that comes later. Oh, it's a motherboard. I don't know what that is. Are you sure? You don't remember what a motherboard is? Maybe? Did I ever mention this to you? Did I not talk to you because I wasn't interested in sharing or was it because you didn't care?
I think I just didn't understand. I watched you play a lot of video games like that.
Oh, okay. If we're going to tell stories about childhood, why don't I tell a video game story about her? I remember trying to teach her what am I going to say.
I know what you're going to say. You hated that I would wander aimlessly.
No. Oh, no. I tried to teach her to play Warcraft 2. And on the second level of the campaign, I came in after what must have been two hours.
She had completed every objective other than slashing the enemy's encampment with the one last hit. And I asked, what on earth is taking you so long?
And she says, well, I have to bring all the soldiers home, which involved taking her one transport that holds four units at a time and ferrying them back over the river painstakingly.
I have to bring them all back home at the end of the campaign before I can finish the mission.
Because you needed to go home. It's a campaign. They're digital assets on a screen. They don't have feelings.
That's what the campaign is for. The campaign is so you fall in love with the characters.
Take forever.
I mean, it makes sense you'd make Sims since you have such emotional attachments to your digital characters.
No, it's because I have a god-like need for power. Oh, you would probably enjoy black and white.
That's why I like Sims. You literally play as a god.
Corsair. I know that company. Do you?
Air mattresses, hairdryers, right?
Oh, you know what? There is a Corsair.
I'm not wrong. It's probably a different Corsair.
Can I help you with this?
I had a Corsair hairdryer in high school.
Maybe not the same thing. Not quite. Not quite.
Really close, though. This is cool.
They do make fans, actually.
Are you even thinking of AC units or something, or a fan?
A Costco fan. Nope, no Corsair doesn't do it. This is a very different Corsair.
Also, nicely packaged.
Would you like to learn more about what all the parts do?
Yeah. Okay, this is your power supply.
This takes the AC current that comes out of your wall,
and turns it into DC current that your sensitive electronics want.
What does a D stand for? A digital? A direct.
Oh, cool. So instead of going like this, it's just like this.
I thought that was this.
It's a different fan. Yeah, this is a different fan. This is a fan specifically for cooling your power supply,
because there's a little bit of loss. There's some inefficiency in the conversion between AC and DC power.
And the reason you need DC is that the logic gates in electronics,
well, they can only have current flowing through them in one direction,
or they wouldn't be very logical. It's just going back and forth all over the place.
Logic. Fragmented logic.
I'm going with that she wasn't interested, because I think I would have explained this stuff readily back then.
I don't think so. I don't think so.
Okay. This goes inside.
Yeah. I can tell because, okay, this is going to help me.
The plug has to get to it, right? Yeah.
I think you can figure this out. I actually believe.
You actually believe? I actually do.
Because we also have to access this thing.
So this is interesting.
Okay. This would totally be a fun service for us to offer.
Like I just zoom call you while you build your first computer,
and you just kind of like, you know, fight your way through it.
And I just kind of go, mm-hmm.
No, it doesn't go there. That's close though.
It is? Sort of. It's like.
Down here? It is part of the computer.
So it's like close in that sense. Here, give it a 360 degree.
Oh, it goes underneath? Mm-hmm.
Under there? Maybe.
Maybe. I feel like it should.
Maybe. Warmer. Really?
Oh, here? Oh, we're getting colder.
This way? Warm. This way?
Colder. Colder. So I'm super warm.
Really? Super Nuva warm. Okay.
Let me just think here for a second.
Yeah, let me get this out of your way. What, the manual?
Yep. I could look at that.
Such a nice little thing to do. Where's the box?
They won't have anything useful in here. Doesn't mean anything to me.
Yeah, no. Useless. Audit efficiency curves and stuff like that.
Okay. You got your first Corsair. Useless.
Ugh. Maybe you should go back to making hairdryers.
You were so close. Remember? Remember that you were close before?
I was close like this. Yes. I was close like this.
Sort of. Oh, no, sorry. I was close like this.
Well, sort of. Like this. Yeah, yeah.
You were close like that. That was very close. So here.
You could try that. You could not slice these in half.
Oh, sorry. There you go. No, you're good.
You're good. You're good. Don't worry.
It could go right here. Right? Does it not?
The holes fit.
Does it go right there? Yeah. No, it doesn't.
What do you mean no? Does it? Yeah.
Oh, wow. Cool. Oh, man.
Remember the time I got mom with the Super Soaker on the trip wire? Oh, yeah. Remember when I got mom with the elastic gun?
That didn't go well. I do. She hit her in the eyeball.
It's true. She didn't blink. So it like hit her right in the eyeball.
She got my elastic gun confiscated. It's true. Way to go.
No, I was just making sure you had it in there right.
Oh. Oh, you mean you're shaking. I thought I was shaking the whole thing.
Oh, you're good. Okay. That is really secure.
Nice. Looks really good. We put in one whole thing.
That's good. All right. No, no, I would never do that.
How did Linus aggravate you as a child? Was he a good brother?
I feel like we got there. You know what? Driving here today, I thought, what if I get asked this question?
And Linus is actually a very good big brother. In fact, I love being babysat by him.
He would give us Twizzler. Look, Krish. I would look forward to it.
He was a very nice big brother. If kids were mean to me, he would sit with me on the bus.
Oh, yeah. That's true. Yeah.
We only overlapped for like one year though.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
You're a great big brother. You're a good babysitter. Thank you.
Right? Whatever that means. I'm going to be like boy babysitters.
I guess so. But you were good at it. Well, thank you.
I think they were expecting more dirt, but if you can think of more dirt, feel free.
You threw us in the pond. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. I had to do that. You threw him in the pond once and he ripped my underwear.
Well, I didn't like to do that part. Well, I didn't like to do that part. It was an accident, but it happened and it was on my way to a party.
The boy had a crush on and I had to skip it.
Really? I didn't even know that part. It was mean.
I had no idea. What else other mean things did I think of?
Oh boy. Well, here, why don't we work on the computer for a while?
You asked. Gosh, why did I ever think to invite you on camera?
I don't know. The camera loves me.
Okay. Camera loves you. What's this?
I don't know if it's going to love me anymore.
This is interesting. Be very careful with that. This doesn't look like it should open.
Oh yeah, that should. Those are our little 3D printed holders.
It's actually one of these. Oh, cool. So this is your CPU.
This is kind of like the brain of the computer.
It does all the processing. So if you want to play a game, you know, you're like, that one.
And the CPU is like, open it up for you.
Want to hear something sad? No. Yes.
I was really excited to play this game that a client told me about.
No. Called like Zero Galaxy something.
And I downloaded it. Horizon Zero Dawn?
Yes. Okay. No Galaxy.
Okay. Okay. And I downloaded it and I paid for it and it was for a PC.
You know what? I had to return it. Oh, you returned it.
Okay. Well, I don't have a PC. Well, this system would crush that game.
I was really upset about it. I was so excited. Okay.
Well, you can play Horizon Zero Dawn if you want. Never played it.
Tell you what? You can stop your Horizon Zero Dawn for your new machine.
Wow. It's a good game actually. I just played it.
I hear nothing but good things. Yeah. Yeah.
It's a good game. Do you like adventure games? Yes.
Like, have you ever played a Tomb Raider game? Yes, I love Tomb Raider. Okay, then you'll love Horizon Zero Dawn.
I love Red Dead. Okay. Okay.
I love a story. Why were you talking about Sims? I couldn't think of anything.
You play real games. I froze up when he asked me.
This is, look at this. This is how we end up with these kinds of miscommunications.
Sorry. I tell Ploof, I'm like, hey Ploof, no, no, she's like actually plays games and stuff.
And he's like, well, we talked to her and all she mentioned is Sims.
I froze. So respect the machine for Sims.
No, it's about a 3060 Ti. It can play real games.
Okay. But. Okay, can I just say, I said the Sims also because I can't play other games on my computer.
I only get to play that on my computer. I don't have a PC laptop.
Okay. I know about lots of games. I just don't get to play them.
Okay, we got this. So we have an Xbox. We've gone with a 12400.
It's got six P cores, no efficiency cores, but for gaming purposes, this is more than enough.
Now, what else would you like to do on the computer? Is there anything else?
Do you need a light photoshop or anything like that? I'm in school, so I do a lot of writing.
Well, it's fine for that. Yeah. Along with anything from the last 15 or so years.
I use Zoom for work. It'll be fine for that.
Along with anything in the last 15 or so years. So I use the computer for really.
So gaming. Yeah. Gaming PC for gamers.
Let's go. All right. Let's get this installed.
What do other people do on the computer? Photoshop? Yeah, sure.
What for? What are you photoshopping? Make yourself look like prettier or whatever.
I don't need that. That's fair. Now it's like a cooking show.
Yeah, exactly. We're cooking up some Horizon Zero Dawn Red Dead Redemption Sims 4, really.
It is really good. That was all you gave them to work with.
It's more of like a turn my brain off. I don't have any other options.
You should try ANO. Never heard of it.
You would, if you're looking for, okay. Basically, it's like supply chain management simulator.
Cool. It's like SimCity. You grow crop.
It's like SimCity, but it's a lot more trade focused. Cool.
So you grow crops on this island, and then you ship them over to this island for processing,
and then you ship them over here, and your people drink their rum.
They're insatiable. You can never produce enough rum in schnapps.
Shnapps I get. They're all drunks.
Anyway, so what you're going to do is you're going to lift up this ARM like that.
It's like a mouse trap. Hold on. Hold on.
I'm going to show you the whole thing. Okay. Yeah, but don't trap a mouse in it.
Then you lift up this piece. Whoa. That goes in there.
Where'd it go? These are so fragile. Okay.
So human hair brushing across this socket could bend those pins and make it so that this
whole thing here with your whole city, gone, dead.
Lights out. Yeah. Forever.
E-waste. So without accidentally touching those, you're going to take your processor.
You're going to line up a little notch here with the little notch there.
Okay. I'm going to go a little something like that.
A little wiggle. Make sure it's in the right spot.
You're going to lower this down and go like that.
Okay. Now I'm going to undo all of it so that you can do it.
Okay. Because it doesn't count as building your own computer.
Teach a man to fish, as they say. Yes, or a lady.
I don't know how to fish, but maybe one day.
You know more about fishing than I do. That's probably true.
I don't like touching the bait. I was always the wimpy one when it comes to that stuff.
They'd be like, hey, why doesn't this take like frogs and snakes out of their pockets?
Look what we found. Like, oh my God. Get it out of here.
That's true. That looks really perfect actually.
But you kind of got ahead of us, Brandon, and get the close up. Oh, sorry about that.
Okay. That's one way of doing that. Cool.
Go for it again. Like diffusing a bomb. Sure.
Is she blowing it? No, no, no, no, no. Okay.
What did I mean out of it? It's not a nest cartridge. We're not going to blow on it.
Is that a joke? It's, yeah, it's a stupid joke.
Okay. Oh, perfect. Okay.
Good. So you keep defaulting to this like karate stance.
Okay. Now you're going to lower the thing.
This is their slogan in search of incredible. You'd think at one point they'll find it.
Oh, have they not found it yet? Just not.
Still searching. Ha.
Damn it. Did I totally hit the sink?
Oh, that's awesome. It made so much noise, but I guess we had some crap in the sink.
Yeah. Cool. The very real, definitely authentic sink.
I'm surprised it's so quiet in here. Well, it's a studio.
It's quiet. Like we tell them to be quiet!. It was quiet through the whole tour.
Was it? I thought it'd be like an ant maze.
Oh. Yeah. No, I guess.
I mean, it's an office. Office job, right? I guess.
I really think about you being in an office. By the way, what do you think of this shirt?
I love it. Thank you. This is one of our new ones.
It's very cool. It's an RGB cake. Yeah.
It's RGB. That's sort of the idea. My birthday's in June.
Yeah. And? I like it.
Oh, you're saying you want one. Well, you can have one anytime you want.
You don't have to wait for your birthday. Well, you know what we can do for now, though, is we can decorate.
Yes. So the LTT edition comes with some stickers that you are more than welcome to apply to
the front of your case. Hey.
We can do that. Here. Let's come around.
Is it magnetic? You can watch us. No, they're just stickers, unfortunately.
Well, then. This is cool.
Very shiny. Okay. So if you want to find a spot for those, you can put them anywhere you want.
And I promise not to judge. My nails are too long.
Okay. I thought that's the whole point of nails is that you can like...
Got it. Ah! We both worked hard for the nails that we have.
Fingernail biters both. It's true. I think we were the worst in the family for it.
Maybe here? Where does it usually go?
It really is. You know.
Yeah, I'm sure. Would it go there?
I mean, yeah. Are you making fun of me? Yeah, totally.
It goes anywhere. It doesn't matter.
I'm actually just teasing you. You actually did a very good job of that.
She was bound to do something right the first time.
Ouch. Put it on stickers. I think we found your calling.
Exactly. This is one of the most fun things. I actually did unironically own a sticker book in my teens.
I did too. Like PC stickers. Oh, no, not that.
You own a PC sticker book? Yeah.
Just with all the cool PC. Hey, you said it was cool.
Like... You said it was cool.
Like cool stickers. Yeah. It is cool.
I like it. It's supported by the sticker again.
Do you need help? No. I can help you.
Mine are always the optimal length. They're a little dirty right now. I usually are, but I was in a wedding.
Mine are always the optimal length for peeling stickers.
What I aim for. I do it a lot.
Everyone needs goals. Here you go. You wanted challenge mode.
Oh, whoa. Boss level. This is challenge mode, for sure.
You ready? Yep. Go.
I can build IKEA furniture like nobody's business.
So how are we going to speak? Oh, okay.
So we're probably going to blow air toward the back where the exhaust is.
That makes sense. Which means we're going to put it on this way. Which means that when we put on these guys...
They're really secure. Come on out. Butt head.
There you go. Wow, isn't that really good?
We're going to put these guys on a little something like this.
Just like that. Oh, man. That year our power was out for almost two weeks.
I remember it. Oh, yeah. That was truly awful.
It was real pioneer, pioneer days.
Thankfully, we had a gas range. So we were able to light the range with like a match and then have a little bit of heat
in the kitchen to gather around. Yeah.
I was going to warm myself on the fire. I lit my dress on fire. It was rough.
I sat on my parents' bed to put the fire out and burn their bed. Yeah.
There's nothing like going to summer camp. It was like a 12, 13-year-old with basically adult diapers.
Good nights. They called them good nights, but you don't have a good night.
Did you ever pull the one where you had an accident in the middle of the night and you
had to get up at like 5.30 in the morning and sneak around on the camp and hide it?
Oh, yeah. Hide the evidence. That's good stuff.
I also, funnily enough, shaved my legs for the first time at that camp and shaved off
about half of my leg skin. Really?
Why? It didn't know how to shave my legs.
It's... Someone didn't teach me.
How do I say this tactfully? It's not that hard.
Have you tried to shave your legs?
How do I say this tactfully? Yes. Yes?
Not the whole leg, but I experimented with it just out of curiosity.
Sure. Experimentation. This goes on your cooler, and that's what these clips are for.
So, I'll put the clips on the fan. It's a little tricksy.
And then you can put the fan on the cooler.
Summer camp, though. It was worth it. I had fun, but...
It was fun. Yeah. Good gravy was that.
That camp was actually on the news. Really? Oh, was it something good?
Oh, okay. Good. Yeah.
I just have to turn people away. Oh, cool. Yeah, you're going to want to give her a little more gusto.
Yeah, it's going to come on the next... Yeah, there you go. Yep, yep.
Nope. Oh, there we go. Trying to bend the heatsink in half.
Okay. Oh, it's great.
Masterful. Wow. Okay.
I had a lot of friends who are excited to watch this video.
Yeah, we had... My girlfriends. Oh, really?
They're going to watch it. They're going to see a spike. Like, why are 30-year-old women watching my videos all of a sudden?
And the funny thing is all four of them are going to contribute to literally, like, a
quadrupling of that demo for us.
Okay, so this is interesting. This goes into the city.
Yep. It's crucial. Yeah, think of it like adding a big warehouse to your city.
Ah. Storage. Storage.
You install your operating system, your games, your cat pictures, the sort of thing you would
have. Lots of those. I know.
Maybe there? You know what? That's actually...
Really? Yeah, very close.
What we're going to do, though, is because this is a P5 Plus, this is a PCIe Gen 4 drive,
we're actually going to use... Or wait, this is Z690.
These are probably all Gen 4 slots. Right.
Okay, so we're going to put it wherever the crap we want.
Sure, yeah, put it there. Sure, fine. Did you put it anywhere?
Yeah. Well, no, I mean, but like in a slot anywhere. Oh.
Holy crap, this board has a lot of pieces. And holy crap, this board has a lot of them about two slots.
One here, one here, one here. Yeah, there's actually one hidden under here, too. It has a total of four of them.
Cool. Well, that's cool. Oh, we haven't really talked about the motherboard at all.
Yeah, we're using an MSI Pro Z690A Wi-Fi.
It was just kind of an affordable Z690 board we had kicking around because we didn't go
out of our way to shop for you because the original plan was not actually to let you keep
the computer. I had to intervene. You were just going to build it and then leave.
I actually had to keep them here? Well, if you give me your Mac, yeah.
Wow. That's the deal. We have to convert you.
It only counts if we convert you. Okay, I will also say my Mac was free from school.
Okay. I got it on scholarship, but I do have an iPhone.
That's fine. Do you have an iPhone?
I mean, I do, but I don't use it. Man, you're going to see how Sims 4 runs on this thing, though.
You're going to be like Mac. How different can it possibly be?
What Mac? Sims, really? All right.
Okay. Okay. I mean, Sims at like 400 frames per second.
Oh, it goes here. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You can put the RAM in now. Let's do it. Oops.
That didn't go that way. Does it? Yeah, I think you had it.
Really? Yeah, I think so. I feel some resistance.
Well, it's futile, so. Let me just double check. I don't want to wreck anything.
Yeah. No, that's definitely. Yeah.
That's definitely right in there. Yeah. No, no, no.
Yeah. Well, no, no, not like that.
You got to hammer it with the back of the screwdriver.
I don't know. Oh, she's actually going to do it.
No, no. You were doing it perfectly before. With the thumbs.
Yes, please. It's like a wrong here.
It's your fault. I don't know what.
Oh, yay. Perfect. I don't know what to do.
Is that the whole point of this? I don't know what to do.
Did she hit the RAM with the RAM? I thought you just tap it.
Maybe you just tap it in. No, you're doing great.
That's wonderful. Once they click into place, they are good to go.
Now, you're going to do your storage drive.
This bad boy pops into any one of these 4M.2 slots.
This thing is actually pretty nice for it. How much is this board, Pluf?
I think that one's like 230 Canadian. Oh, 230.
So it's not like cheap cheap, but it's like reasonable. But the 690s are pretty expensive right now.
Okay. Got it. It's one of the cheaper 690s.
Cool. Yeah. That's awesome.
Because it's got like two and a half gig LAN and everything.
Yeah. Yeah. It's still a really good board.
It's so good. Cool. Well, what we need to do.
Does it get stuck in there? Is we need to find where the screw is for it.
Ah. Yeah. There we go.
Is that the... Oh, cool. They have a little tool list thing.
Yeah. The one you have is good. M.2 Locker.
Basically, it's a little dude out of Mahiki that goes into this standoff and makes it
so you can lock your drive into place. So go ahead and screw that into there.
Okay. Now you're going to put this in and lock it into place with that.
Whoopsie. Oh my God.
What would you like to do next? That thing?
That thing, which is... What thing?
You know what? That's actually exactly what to do next.
I'm not even messing with you. What did you do next?
Yes, it is.
It's exactly what to do next.
No, it isn't. It is.
It is. Listen to my words. I'm an honest big brother.
No, you're not. You said yourself I'm a good big brother. I didn't say you're honest.
This must go here. Yeah, it does.
And it is the thing to do next. Okay, cool.
This is a little tricky. Just try not to cut yourself.
There's probably not any sharp edges here, but this thing. It can be kind of sharp and stuff.
Here, hold on. Can I just show you the pitfalls first?
The pitfalls? It's in. You know what?
You're doing great. Just push all four corners and try not to stab yourself on these little pokeys.
Okay. Yep, it's in there. You got all four corners?
Yep. Because if I push on it, it shouldn't come out like that. Oh, just kidding.
I'm just testing your strength. There you go. I do that in all four corners.
I thought I did. Oh, is the fit on this just really loose?
I think so. Oh, it's just really loose. Ah, interesting.
Okay. Yeah, no, you did great.
All right. This now goes in here a little something like this.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Just like that. Moment of truth?
No. Oh, moment of truth's a long way away. Oh.
Okay. So just like that. Now you do it.
Just grab this? Yeah. No, no, no.
I'll show you how to do it safely. Okay. You want to get this?
I'm going to glue that in later. You're going to glue it in. Oh, that.
No, you won't need to. This will hold it in. Oh, okay.
So you're going to, you line this up. You have to leave all glued in. Oh, my God.
You line this up at the back. You got this. You don't need to glue it in.
Stop. Okay. You line this up at the back.
Okay. With it still at an angle so that it's not scraping.
So you line it up. Yep. You just feed it on through.
Yeah. Feed it on through. That's the correct terminology.
Okay. So you get that in there like that. And then.
Like threading the needle. Carefully. You look down through the holes in the board.
See how there are holes in the board that correspond to those standoffs.
Yep. Okay. So you look down until you see that they line up and then there's a little nipple there.
A little nubbin that sticks through the board.
Okay. That will hold it into place. So it won't slide around.
Okay. So IO nipple. First IO, then nipple.
Okay. I'm in.
Oh wow. That's actually. Wait.
Did you get it? No I didn't get it. Hold on.
Okay. So just be careful. I will lift.
I lift. Yeah. And then make sure you line it up.
Just don't slide it around on the thing. Oh. I lift again.
Okay. You'll have to apply a bit of force toward the back.
There we go. Did you get it? You got it.
Yes. Oh no. I'm hip to that trick now.
This is cool. Thank you. I saw a prototype like a year ago.
That's true. And I said it's really cool then.
It still applies. So because she's easy to impress, you should definitely buy one.
It's very strong magnet. Let me just make sure these are threaded properly.
Yes. That is one of the key things about it. I pay attention.
So you need to put in two, three, four.
Oh. Look at that. It's exactly the right amount.
Seven more of these. Okay. And then what I usually do is start them.
And then I'll choke up. I'll choke up and then use the needle to finish it off.
Oh yeah. I hear you. Yeah.
That'll grab all of them. Cool. There you go.
She's got this. I mean, or you can use the ratchet.
That's one of the things we worked on really hard is making it so that the ratchet reverse
force is very, very low. Why would you not want me to use the ratchet?
You can actually start a screw. Well, because most of the screwdrivers I've ever used wouldn't really allow you to start
them like that. Right. Because it would just turn the screw back and forth.
Right. Are you putting these in enough? No, you said to tighten them after.
Oh, I see. Okay. No, you can tighten them as you go.
It's all lined up. It's perfect. What the heck?
No, you're doing great. Oh. I thought I had to put them all in and then tighten them as I go.
This is actually a really good pitch for how good this screwdriver is.
The fact that you can just start a screw like that.
Minimal effort. Minimal. And that's it.
If you did this correctly, I can take this, shake it around like this and nothing should
fall out. Okay. Did it right.
Yeah. You did great. Now you had asked me something before.
What's with the tiny battery? The tiny battery. Did it play sax?
That'd be annoying. Oh, like once every 10 to 15 years.
Oh, so never. Basically never. The tiny battery is so that when the computer is turned off and unplugged from the wall,
it can still keep enough power to retain your settings for the motherboard and like the
time and date and stuff. So when you power it back on, it still knows approximately what time it is until it can
check in with an internet time server. Cool.
Yeah. Yeah. Now you know.
Okay. Oh. Crap.
Is that the wrong thingy? No.
I didn't warn you about this. Oh, the little little things? There's these little tabs at the back that can accidentally stick into your port and the
one for the network port got caught. It's okay. We redo.
No, we might not have to. If it was for a random person, I would redo it, but it's for my sister.
So we're going to do this the cheap, fast, easy way. Cut it off.
Oh, that's one cheap, fast, easy way. Yeah.
Let's see how sharp the Jerry Rig Everything knife is.
Ready? I'm going to try to cut off this metal tab.
Here, Brandon, you're going to want that side.
Did that do a thing? I can't tell.
Come on, Zach. Don't let me down. You named your knife?
No, no. Zach is the name of the guy who runs the Jerry Rig Everything channel.
It's his knife. Yeah, well, see, that's actually what happened to my thumbs.
Yeah. Yeah. This is a Jerry Rig Everything knife wound, and this is a kitchen knife wound.
Because you really get your thumb in there quite aggressively. Yeah, I do.
I mean, how else are you going to guide it to the right spot?
Okay. Well, you know what? We might go back to the original plan, which was to bend it like this.
Take that back up. Who bends it, man?
Thanks. You're a supportive sister laughing at my terrible jokes like that.
Okay, so then I take that and basically just kind of like kind of jam it through.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's professional.
Perfect. And the USB-C one's okay.
So that one we don't have to worry about. Everything else is good.
It was just the network one. There. Look, you'd never know the difference on this side.
You should get a shot of it like totally mangled from the other side.
Do I undo this zip tie thing? You can undo any zip ties you want.
This is your computer. I can't stop you.
Feels good. Good.
I'm glad you liked it. Now, would you like to continue building the computer?
Yep. Okay, this is the part where we actually get to connect a whole bunch of stuff to the motherboard.
Lots of these little wire leads and cables and things like that.
Do you want to do it all yourself or do you want me to help you?
I would like something in the middle.
Something in the middle. Cool. Okay.
So you can do it all yourself while I help you.
Tell me what to do. Sure. Yeah.
Okay. Perfect. Why don't we start with our front panel connectors?
Okay. They are missing.
Oh. Really? We only have a power switch?
Does this case only have a power switch, please?
What the hell? What does that mean?
It means that our life got a lot easier just now.
Oh. That's very strange. Cool.
This boy, well, it has RGB, so I guess they figured that's your power indicator.
And then no one really does, like, hard drive LEDs anymore, or they don't need to.
You don't need a reset switch, so I guess, yeah, that's it.
This goes on to the header.
Right here. Now you do it.
It's the top right two pins on that thing.
Two pins. Yep. Did you see it?
Top right. Top right two. Yeah.
Horizontally right. Yep. Wow.
What a pro. Power switch plugged in.
People struggle with this. Really?
It means the people who struggle with this. That's easy.
What are you, an idiot?
I didn't say anything. You said it all.
You said it all with your tone.
Okay. Pass me some more stuff. I need the big one that looks like this.
Okay. Looks like what? Like that.
Okay. Yep. It's right here.
Close. Okay. It's right here.
Oh boy. Are you trying? I'm looking at it again.
Oh, okay. I thought it was this one.
Yeah. Oh. It's too different.
Pass me that one. Oh. I'm going to do this one.
My bad. Just because these pins are super fragile. This is the third most likely thing to get broken.
And we have to undo everything we've done if it gets broken at this stage.
So I thought it was not. Are you done that? Yeah.
It happens like all the time with this one. Really? It's a really awful connector.
It's a really bad design. It's nothing to do with you. It's just a really, really awful, awful connector design.
Okay. And then why don't you give me that first one that you sent me.
It comes through here. This one? Yeah.
And then I can have you do that one. Where? Where my finger is.
Oh. Under there. Hello.
Hello. Yeah. Good.
Good. Good. Now you can come around this side and plug that in.
That is your front panel audio. So if you want to plug like your headphones or your microphone into the front of your case.
I do. I don't have headphones. I need to get some.
That's okay. The headphones lament their lack of bathroom unless you have headphones.
Okay. Oh, here. Oh, I'm in your way, Brandon.
Out. Out. Watch this all day.
Now there's a pin. Hold on. There's a blocked pin.
So make sure that the missing pin corresponds to the blocked pin.
Oh. There you go. Now you took a cover off of something.
Okay. Let's put that back on. Is this one?
The audio one? No. It was a different one.
It looked like it needed to be removed.
What the hell? That was it?
That was so easy. It felt easy.
Yeah. What the hell?
Seriously, though, this is going extremely smoothly, especially for something with all
this RGB in it. Do you not need those wires?
Well, I'm just a little confused because it feels like, ah, yes, I see what's going
on here. All right. Your fans have what's called RGB lighting.
So they, like, glow like a fricking circus that night.
Cool. Yeah, which is cool. But it does mean that we have to wire up twice as many connectors for them.
Okay. Which can be a bit of pain in the butt. Worth it.
Absolutely 1,000% worth it. But definitely more work.
So let's go ahead and we're going to make that face.
A concentration face.
Fortunately, she doesn't concentrate very often.
I don't usually have to look at that. So we're going to take, ideally, which one is this?
This must be the bottom one of those fans.
So if you were to have, like, an RGB effect, okay, would you expect it to go from this
one to this one to the back one? Or would you expect it to go from the back one to this one to this one?
The lights? Yeah. Like, if there was, like, a wave, like, red, and then red, and then red, and then orange,
and then orange, and then orange. Well, what am I not going to see because it'll be at the back?
Yeah, I guess so. Expect it to look like this.
Okay, cool. Now that I have plugged in one of them, you're basically going to daisy chain the rest of
your RGB connectors. What does that mean?
Like a flower crown? Yes.
Cool. Yeah, so you take this one and plug it into this one.
And then you take this one and plug it into the back of that one.
Okay. Flower crown. That's where daisy chain comes from.
Yeah. You've had the daisies too. I've just never heard the term flower crown before.
A crown of flowers. Well, no, I know what it is. It's a self-explanatory.
Okay, cool. All right. Wow, you did it actually perfectly.
I love it. Thank you. I'm playing Stardew Valley again, so desperate I am.
Oh, I even gave you game recommendations. I know.
I haven't looked at it yet. Oh, okay. I told her she should try cross-code.
Yes. Okay. Is that her phone though or computer?
Computer, but you have a computer now. Yes, I couldn't play cross-code because I can't play games like that in my computer.
Right. Also, there's not enough memory in my computer to store anything like that.
Right. Okay. I'm going to try this one more time.
Put that on there. Oh, cool. I just thought if I looked at it long enough it would...
I know you weren't paying attention. It's fine.
We both do the same thing. Okay, hold on. Let's try this.
Oh, that's all you showed me.
There we go. Ah.
It's actually not intuitive, but it's a really smart way to install drives.
Super, super low profile. And these don't have any moving parts.
You know me? Low profile. So it just doesn't really matter.
See that ratchet? Mm-hmm. I did see the ratchet.
Pretty nice. You know, our backpack is also on sale now.
Yeah, well, I... Here I am backpacking.
Oh, my God. It's right here. Yeah.
Did I even show you our backpack yet?
Very quickly. Oh, okay. When without gusto.
Finally on sale. LTTstore.com.
It's supposed to be facing out like that?
Yeah, that's perfect. That's exactly where you want it.
Oh. This goes somewhere. This goes in here.
Oh. Goes in its butt. I had no doubt that you would succeed.
Just put the plug in its butt. You can think of it as a butt plug.
What are you doing? You got too serious in the motion of that. What are you doing your own time?
I had to completely destroy the moment. It's not what I want to hear about.
Well, I'm not the one doing it. It's you.
Okay. I don't see the butt.
The butt's on the butt. Oh. It's the butt back.
Back butt. It's the rear butt. What?
You're going to have to go up a bit. So it fits more in there.
There's a butt slot. Stop saying butt.
Actually, do you know? I'll look it up on Wikipedia. How old am I?
I do know how old you are. You are? Mm-hmm.
Your brother's in August.
You're 36. Okay. Good job.
You're five years older than me. Actually, I wasn't sure for years I just learned that.
Wow. I always told everyone you're nine years older than me.
Are you ever going to get this plugged in? I just need it to...
Oh, I'm putting it in the wrong spot.
Oh, I see. In there?
Yeah. I mean, that moment when you aim for the butt and you just hit the wrong spot.
You would know. Three kids.
All right. I think we're done here.
See if you can find another butt port.
This goes in the motherboard. Yeah.
So it can either go here or here. Depending how you prefer.
And the latch will be facing you if you go with the right angle ones that are here.
Oh, does that matter? The latch will be facing you.
There you go. Oh. Oh, that's not the one that's right angle, but...
Oh, God. Oh, is that really wrong?
I mean, no. Take it out. The cable management is just not the nicest.
If I was going to plug into those ones, what I would probably do...
Wouldn't I never look at them again? Well, there's a window on your case.
So you could look at them if you wanted to. You just want it to be very aesthetic.
Yeah. Aesthetic. Aesthetic.
Oh, it's much nicer. Yeah. See?
There you go. We're taking pride in our work here today. Doesn't happen often.
All right. Now we need power cables because we got our power supply in here, but unfortunately they
haven't invented wireless power inside the computer yet.
So you've invented it. No.
Oh. I have wires. Yay.
Yay. So we're going to plug these into our motherboard, our CPU, our drive, all that good stuff.
I will plug in the power supply ends and I'm going to have you plug in the other end.
So you're going to go around to the front. Okay.
And based on how successful that butt plugging adventure was, I suspect this will go very
smoothly. If that gets cut, it's going to be very out of context.
All righty then.
I assure you we're not that sort of siblings.
Half siblings. Not step siblings. Despite what you've heard.
Half. Half genes. Yeah.
Genetically. Genetically. Not genitals.
Genetics. Okay. Be serious now.
I am serious. Okay. I found it.
Did you get it? Yes. Okay.
I'm having a little more trouble than you. Well, I can help you.
Yeah. Okay. That one's done.
I suspect you're not going to do a lot of overclocking.
What does that mean? Exactly. So we're just going to do one of these eight pin connectors at the top of the motherboard
here. Okay. We don't need both of them.
Up here. I plug in. Pick the one labeled one if you can.
Okay. Yep. Do you see the one labeled one?
Yep. I sure do. Are you sure?
Yep. It's cp view power one and then two.
You bet. Now tell me something. Are you going to let the hubby use your computer?
No. Okay. I thought you might think about it at least a little.
I'm just kidding. Yeah. Sure.
Okay. Man, we are so close. This is awesome.
I'm just going to plug in the front panel RGB header thing in the boober.
And then I'm going to plug in. It's a boober?
Well, it's a thing in the boober. So this guy right here.
It's got the Latin term. So I plug that in. And then we're going to plug this guy in.
Well, something like that. So we're just plugging in this modular interface connectors and power supply.
And then that is going to plug into the button of the drive again.
Just make sure you've got the butt orientation correct. See it's key.
Got it. Yeah, you got this. Nice.
Nice. Looks pretty good.
Firm yet gentle. Is that your parenting style?
Or are you making another joke?
I'm not sure. It's something. All right.
Where does this go? Now, it's time for the most fun part.
Do you remember what I said was? Ready to get on? No.
Well, that's fun too. Okay.
That would have been the most fun part. What's the most fun? It's time for the second most fun part.
Do you remember what I said was last? Yes.
Of course. Because I pay attention. You said that lastly, we would do that.
Yep. On this side. All right.
Wandered way over there. Which is good. Okay.
So this goes somewhere. It's important. Why is GPU installing?
Maybe here. Maybe there. It's a good guess.
Maybe on the bottom. It's going to go right there. Wow.
Wouldn't really not have guessed that. Yeah. Upside down?
Yeah. I know. It's stupid, right?
Weird. Yep. They're always going upside down.
Okay. Excuse me. Even at its reduced value, it is the most valuable part of this whole thing.
Perfect. Yeah. But you got this.
Okay. Also, if you scratch this and like knock anything off here with these, then it will definitely
break. Okay. So be careful not to like scratch that.
So where does this... Oh, it goes in the side thing here. I see.
There we go. I see. I see.
Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Dang. Pretty not bad.
Not bad for a first try.
Not bad just in general, actually. Thank you.
All right. You just got to screw it in. Okay.
Now what I usually like to do is give her a little like lift while you... yeah.
Give her a little bra action there while you're screwing it in.
Uh-huh. Yeah. Because that way it won't sag as much.
Over time.
The graphics card. Otherwise it'll sag.
Because some graphics cards have six pin connectors and some have eight pin connectors, we have
what's called a six plus two pin connector. Cool.
So what you get to do is you get to hold these together while you plug this into here.
Cool. Yep. So the whole eight pins goes in at once like that.
And this will also help with sag because we'll have the cable come up and over it so it'll
kind of... It looks ugly but it helps support it at the back because this is only held in by these
two screws and it's actually quite heavy. It's loose.
There's a lot of weight there. Yeah. Okay.
What the heck? Well, okay. There's two six plus twos.
Got it. Yeah. So you want to use this one.
Oh, okay. Yeah. I'd like to use that one.
Alrighty. Well then. Over the front you said?
Ideally it doesn't really matter actually. You can do it however you like.
Swaw matrix. Did you see the new matrix maybe?
Not yet. I'm really excited. You're excited.
I haven't seen it yet. Is it bad? I haven't seen it.
Oh. But what exactly is it that would make you excited to see a matrix movie?
I like the first matrix. Oh, okay.
Did you ever watch the second or third one? No. Then that explains a lot.
Why is it bad? So. Oh, really?
No, I never saw them. They were just atrocious.
Like, not even like B movie campy.
Like, haha. Like bad. Like Star Wars bad?
Really bad. Oh, so much worse.
And to be clear, I fucking hate the sequel Star Wars movies.
They're the worst. Yeah. Spider-Man bad?
Which one? Like the new ones? No, those are good.
Oh, I don't think I ever saw the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man. Well, it was bad.
Okay, fair enough. Yeah, really bad though.
All right, we're working with here. Looks pretty good.
I think we're ready to fire it up.
