WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.400 How do you upgrade a man who already has seven computers? 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:13.860 Well, we're going to have to figure it out because our very own king of Labs benchmarking 00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:19.180 Mr. Nick Harris just won an AMD ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade. 00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:23.680 Congratulations, Nick. Here's one stick of memory. 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:27.480 This is mine. I know I borrowed it for this bit. 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.240 We actually got a whole bunch of really cool stuff, including some pro networking gear, 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:39.680 a new test bench, some smart lighting, and he even had room in his budget for a friend. 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.920 Isn't that cute? Oh God, it's weird. 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.400 No need to hurt his feelings, my friend. He had so much fun with Riley, I'm going to have fun with him as well. 00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:56.960 Wait, that phrasing is kind of bad on that. 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.160 And he's also got some sick new gaming gear from our sponsor AMD. 00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:06.360 Let's see what someone who tests hardware for a living would buy for himself. 00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:25.080 Hello, LTT viewers. I've been told that our recent giveaway segments have been too much fun. 00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:30.760 It's gotta stop. And AMD representatives have requested that this giveaway contain no thrilling or comedic 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.880 aspects whatsoever and zero flights of fancy. 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.000 With that said then, it brings me no joy to tell you that AMD is giving away two amazing 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.120 gaming buttons containing AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D CPUs, basically the best CPU on the market, 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:54.960 and PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 gig graphics cards, basically the best 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.120 9070 16 gig as well. By entering using the link below, you too can have so much fun that you'll get a talking 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:09.560 to from somebody. Maybe your dad, but what your dad won't have is one of the best gaming combos on the market, 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.240 unless he also received one of the two giveaway bundles. 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.920 It can be yours by entering the giveaway using the link in the description. 00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:22.520 Have fun gaming with your dad. Okay, back to the video. 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.680 How do I put this? 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.360 This is one of the most vanilla nerddom spaces that I've ever been in. 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:37.560 Sorry, I've never been called vanilla before. No, I mean, no matter what nerddom it is, it's represented here. 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.480 We've got Star Wars, we've got Lego, we've got Dungeons & Dragons, we've got computers, 00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:47.400 we've got Star Trek, we've even got some of those vinyl things. 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:56.200 What co-pops? Everyone seems to have a niche that they're into, but somebody has to be a normal nerd. 00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:03.880 There's a bunch of 1%ers, but who's part of the 90%? It's like that moment when you're in traffic and you realize, I am the traffic. 00:03:03.880 --> 00:03:08.320 You're the type of guy who goes to Comic-Con. No fan expo. 00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:11.800 Even worse. I like your lo-fi Lego Star Destroyer though. 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.960 It's a work in progress. Wait, is that how the Star Destroyer actually works? 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.640 It uses Technic for the inside? Not in the movies, no. 00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:23.160 Well, this seems controversial. 00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:30.600 I mean, I'd have ours if we had one. 00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:35.680 Let's look at your upgrade, which I can barely even get to without tripping over a computer 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:41.960 or two. Well, that's why we're not building one today. We're upgrading all the infrastructure around the computers. 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.480 We're solving networking for me once and for all. 00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:52.320 Al has had a 5 gigabit deal. Now most of my devices are only like 1 gig or 2.5. 00:03:52.320 --> 00:04:00.520 So with ubiquity, I'm like future-proofing. No matter if I move again or whatever, all my stuff is 5 gig with 10 gig SFP ports if 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.520 I choose to. Cool. Okay. 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:09.160 All right. Let's do some networking first then. I don't want to say you're in the way, but... 00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:14.560 Fine. I'll tell you guys about the USW Pro Max switch over here then. 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.240 We've got a really nice mix of ports and functionality here. 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.800 We've got eight PoE plus ports that run at gigabit speed, eight PoE plus plus ports that 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:30.160 run at gigabit speed, and then eight PoE plus plus ports that run at 2.5 gigabit speed. 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.280 Then we've also got a couple of 10 gigabit SFP uplinks. 00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:38.240 This allows him to run as much security camera or home automation crap as he could pretty 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.000 much want because it has a total of 400 watts of power that it can deliver over Ethernet. 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.520 And then of course, high speed networking. What are you working on? 00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:50.520 The disc. Wow. Yeah. 00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:53.520 You know what? Good job. Thanks. 00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:56.520 No, yeah. Just be natural. Just talk to us. 00:04:56.520 --> 00:04:59.520 Be natural. Like vanilla natural? I'm sorry. 00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:02.520 I didn't mean for that to be like mean. I just... 00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:06.240 No, no. Vanilla is not a bad thing to be. Not everyone has to be spicy all the time. 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.000 I just feel a little bit like your place is how the Big Bang Theory might have set up 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.360 like a nerd's apartment, you know? 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.360 Dude, that's mean. Yeah. See, that's... 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.680 Wow. That's really bad. Went from vanilla to like Big Bang Theory. 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.160 Say bazinga. Say bazinga right now. You're joking. 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.160 Bazinga. I don't really do networking and rack mount. 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.360 Yeah. No, I did pick up on that. So if you're not familiar with Nick, he's mostly on like the software side. 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:41.160 So developing benchmark tools, methodologies, and it's mostly on like consumer hardware. 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.440 Because like the stuff is kind of a different beast. 00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:48.160 Like I wasn't familiar with all the, you know, various standards for rack mounting crap 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:55.160 until I had to be because of work either. Basically, if it's physical, I don't do it and that's exercise and networking. 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.760 That's not even true. You've been coming to badminton night. 00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:03.600 By the way, I don't think I have ever seen this before. 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.640 Where on earth did you get Robertson rack screws? 00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:10.640 Whoa. I don't know. 00:06:10.640 --> 00:06:13.880 I don't know him. Who's Robertson? 00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:17.160 You know the square ones. Like the Canada only ones. 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.200 Adam, you appreciate this is super weird. Yeah. 00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:31.200 That's crazy. I've never seen a Robertson rack screw. Oh, sorry. 00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:35.680 Let me try again. Whoa. You know, Nick, I wouldn't have been as surprised. 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.520 You didn't know what a Robertson screw was. If I had seen the absolute hack job that you did on this show. 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:44.640 I didn't do that. It came like that. This is dangerous. 00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:47.800 I should have warned you about that. You should have. 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.360 I forgot it was. This is a freaking weapon. Question for you, Mr. Harris. 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.600 Would you like your switch to go in from the front or do you prefer your switch inserted 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.520 from the rear? Normally, from the front. Like a normal person. 00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:05.280 Thank you. Well, some normal people do like it from the back. 00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:09.560 It's a lot of prep work. Would you like me to explain the pros and cons both ways? 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.800 No, no, that's fine. Just in the front is fine. 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.640 Yeah. Okay. With the main switch installed, let's have a look at some of the other networking gear 00:07:16.640 --> 00:07:19.640 with us. Right. This is the Cloud Gateway Max. 00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:25.720 I don't know. I wanted to give it a shot. I think it has like stuff. 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:32.440 The premise in software development, lifecycle, is get it working first and then iterate 00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:38.640 and optimize after. So get it working and then condense. 00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:42.560 This explains why Markbench has never done it. Wow. 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.400 Okay. You know what? If this is going to be my platform to defend lab's things, okay, what? 00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:51.320 Markbench is in Rustbench and it's actually all automated now and we have a queuing thing 00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:54.320 that is... You don't care about that. No, I do actually. 00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:59.880 Markbench is super cool. Like we did a ShortCircuit on a GPU recently and like the testing was really fast. 00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:04.920 No, I'm trying to... Why did I buy this? 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:10.160 Presumably so that you could use a single keyboard and mouse for up to four computers. 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:16.240 I can read the box as well. Thank you. So I did another NAS as well though because I was going to do the 321 rule where I have 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.600 three drives in the one NAS, two drives in this one, and then one drive in the cloud. 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.760 That is really not... Oh, that was funny though. 00:08:23.760 --> 00:08:26.760 One drive in the cloud? I like that. 00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:30.360 Why don't you explain 321 to the fine folks? What is that? 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.800 I have a true NAS box that has three drives in it. 00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:39.400 I have this UNAS box with two drives in it. Okay, that's not 321. 00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:44.120 Three copies of your data in at least two different mediums, one of which is off-site. 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.480 For drives, we've gone with a couple of eight terabyte iron wolves. 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.960 We don't need the pros because it's just two drives in this box and we don't even need 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:56.240 a ton of capacity because Nick's not, you know, putting all of his seven movies on here. 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.080 It's just going to be presumably the bare essentials, you know, photos, documents, that 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.080 sort of thing, right? Yeah. 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.960 Yeah. How did it take me this long to notice the chair that was on his kitchen island? 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.400 Did this just get put here? Okay, where do you want your NAS? 00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:18.920 Oh, it's all going on top. What is the point of a rack? 00:09:18.920 --> 00:09:21.920 Okay. Nope. Do what the client wants. 00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:30.600 Govee gave us, like, a level or your size, but it looks like Yipekuri's got you. 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.600 What are you doing? Are you going to do that? Don't worry. 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.600 No, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to do that. Yeah, it was going to be hidden up there. 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.920 What if I... You don't need to access it. 00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:44.320 Until I... The whole point of the network access to... 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.320 I won't be able to read the little LED on the front. It's got a light. 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.520 Why would you need to do that? And yes, you will because there's slots, slats here. 00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:54.520 You know, I can re... You know what? I can rearrange it after... 00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:57.520 You know what? What? No, no, no. 00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:00.520 Sorry, sorry, sorry. Let me go back. This is a brilliant... 00:10:00.520 --> 00:10:03.520 I like this. Put it there. Okay. 00:10:03.520 --> 00:10:09.560 This is what I was talking about. So we can have the gateway just hidden away up there, and we just have this one little 00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:14.760 Ethernet cable and everything's clean. Everything clean, everything fine. 00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:19.360 I'm using the Ubiquiti Wi-Fi man app to scan your apartment for where you have the weakest 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:23.640 signal. And finally, it's your bathroom, which means that's where we're putting the access point. 00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:27.360 I mean, it's where I do my wordle every day. Exactly. 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.360 Did you see the Mandalorian theme of the washroom though? 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.360 What? Okay, I want to see this. 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.360 What? What? What? 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:41.000 Wait, Adam, you haven't even seen the best part. 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.360 With the matching toilet cover. Yeah, you didn't see the floor mat? 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.560 Okay. Nick, I have the switch. I have the gateway. 00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:56.560 I have the NAS. What else am I putting in this rack? Please tell me it says many things as possible because that's the point of racks. 00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:00.560 Oh, that was me. This is going underneath. 00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:03.560 Okay. And then I also need a UPS. 00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:06.640 Yeah, I guess the UPS can just go right back on the shelf. 00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:09.840 What's this? That is a 2.5 gigabit network card. 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.840 Helpful. I knew that. What are you doing with it? 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.840 It's going in one of the seven computers. Because they all don't actually work. Because they all don't actually work. 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.840 You're getting even more helpful every time. Yeah. 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:24.920 So which one? I don't know yet. You know the PC that's in front of you or behind you, the Proxmox? 00:11:24.920 --> 00:11:32.160 That one was supposed to go up here. But it's feet, even without its feet, it's like just too big. 00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:35.680 So the idea was I was going to put it into the smaller fractal pink case. 00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:39.520 Because that fits in with just a little bit of a... 00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:44.400 So this is the true NAS box. I just put a new replacement drive. 00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:51.720 So it should be good to go back in the rig. By the way, this is not the right size at all. 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:57.280 Earthquake stuff needs to move around a little bit. 00:11:57.280 --> 00:12:02.280 We're going to have a lot of stuff left over from this one on the cutting room floor, LMG.gg 00:12:02.280 --> 00:12:05.360 slash Floatplane. We'll see you there. All right, check this out. 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:16.560 The reset switch is right here. Which means that if I tuck this thing in here under the shelf, there we go. 00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:21.840 Oh, buddy, you can totally still reach it. 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.560 Right there. Boom. And the best part is now it's a structural NAS. 00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:31.760 Look at that. Are hard drives okay being like that? 00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:35.160 Yes. Yes, they are. Look how nice that is. 00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:40.400 We have the UPS, we have the NAS, we have one system, dude. 00:12:40.400 --> 00:12:46.520 And we've only taken up like half your rack now. Is there a reason you felt the need to put a gigabit StarTech network card in this system? 00:12:46.520 --> 00:12:53.080 Yeah, well, one of these systems didn't, whether it's the Proxmox OS or TrueNAS, didn't like 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:59.200 the onboard motherboard. So I put this in here. 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.360 But I can't remember which. I'm going to assume this is the one that needs to be the add-in card because there would 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:08.040 be no other reason on this green earth to put this card in a system. 00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:11.040 Why? Because it's horrible. Look at it. 00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:15.880 It's tiny. Yeah. Well, it's a micro network card. 00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:20.360 By the way, what is up with this? The cable management of this system is actually really nice. 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:27.040 This is the one thing you cable manage? I cable manage the PC builds, but not the rest of the house because I did the small form 00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:32.120 factor gaming rig and it's actually pretty great. Yeah, what's up with that? 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:37.080 This is the one part that people don't see. I know. 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.040 I don't understand why you don't understand. Big moment. 00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:44.520 Mr. Harris, try your chair. 00:13:45.520 --> 00:13:50.720 Yep, it's Mish. 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.920 What? See, this is the one thing I have no idea how it works are these sensors. 00:13:56.920 --> 00:14:01.240 My understanding is that they're like battery, but I have a plug on this. 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.960 Wait, what are these? These are hygrometers? This is for in the washroom, one in here and one in there. 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.760 For what reason? Just to know the humidity? Yeah. 00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:13.880 I literally was just looking for stuff to put on the wall that connects to home assistant. 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.960 You could have gotten motion detectors, you could have had your bathroom so that... I know what I'm moving. 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.960 Lights turn on. Later. 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:27.400 No GPU in here, right? DC1? Well, no, but I don't remember if it had one before. 00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:33.640 Wait, did I hear that correctly? Your Proxmox system has a 7950X, like a 16 core in it. 00:14:33.640 --> 00:14:38.320 Yes. And then TrueNAS is a 5600G. 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.480 How many cores do you have in this domicile? 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:48.080 7950X, 5600G. That'll be a 5600XT. 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.760 That's a 12 something. Apple something. 00:14:52.760 --> 00:14:55.840 And then 7800X3D as the gaming rig. 00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:01.600 Oh, actually the 12900K and the 23090s. 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:08.280 That is freaking ridiculous. I can't believe I'm building a system with a 7950X in it and it doesn't even have a GPU. 00:15:08.280 --> 00:15:12.160 Are you going to do GPU pass-through in the future? Yes, yes I will. 00:15:12.280 --> 00:15:15.400 GPU pass-through for Plex. 00:15:15.400 --> 00:15:18.600 Okay. Hey, but look at this. 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.080 So tidy, right? It's great. 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:27.680 Yeah. Was this mounted here before? No, I just kind of hang it once in a while. 00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:31.080 No, I didn't have the hardware at the time. Oh, okay. 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.840 Do you know? Nope. Why are we even here? 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.840 Are you sure? You have that whole thing of screws. Can I just check and see if there's a screw that happens? 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.200 Sure. But this wasn't the monitor. The screws are right here. 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:49.120 The very first ones I picked up. He has four of them. He 100% has them. 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.360 Noice! 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:57.120 Nick just informed us that his bedroom is more humid than the rest of the apartment. 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:03.000 I just want to know what is actionable about that? I can open a window. 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.000 What is this thing? It's pixel light. Pixel light? 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.160 I'm going to have put the weather on it. 00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:16.120 The only reason Google still lives is until the reach of many is who I talk to to turn 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:22.720 my lights on and off. So it'll be that for display, weather, time, alerts, whatever, and then the reach of many 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.160 is my voice. There we go. 00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:29.160 Hear me out. What if we put this in here instead? 00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:32.920 No, that's going in there. 00:16:32.920 --> 00:16:40.760 So we're going to have a mouse and keyboard that are going to be right here in the event that they are needed because, I don't know, we didn't remote into these systems for some 00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:46.040 reason. Whenever I need to remote in, it's usually because the network is down, and to fix it 00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:49.360 I just need to plug in a keyboard anyways. 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.360 I'm with you. That looks so much better than it was when we got here. 00:16:53.360 --> 00:17:02.000 Right? Yeah. We can put the desk there now because I'm actually done with the rack. 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.960 I didn't realize how small this desk was. 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:13.080 Micro desk. Do you have a power bar back here? Oh, he has a power bar at him. 00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:18.120 I just unplugged the light and the speaker. Wait, what? Don't you want your light and speakers plugged in for when you would live here? 00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:22.560 Nope. I'll use the longer one. That only has two because I only need to plug in two things. 00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:28.080 But about the test bench, I'll take the power bar from my gaming rig. 00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:37.960 Actually now's a great time to talk about what you're doing with that test bench. So you picked up a Ryzen 7 5800 XT as well as an RX 9060 XT and my understanding is this 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.920 is something to do with Linux testing. I had an extra motherboard and RAM. 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.240 Yeah. I put it together because I don't know, Bazite and Catchy are catching on. 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.760 So we did some, let's see, Catchy catching on, get it? 00:17:49.760 --> 00:17:53.440 At the last we did some testing and it was super easy. 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:59.280 So I went and found on Marketplace a 3600 to put in the AM4. 00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:06.880 So we're doing this today. So I picked up Long Live AM4 socket, like the fact that I can find a 3600 from how many 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.600 years ago and then find a processor, not even a year old. 00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:18.240 And then what's the plan to do with that? Would it move to like a dedicated PC for the TV possibly or like? 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:24.160 Nope. This desk is going in the corner and it's just tri- 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.080 Alright, let's build it up. 00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:31.560 To get all the networking set up, we're going to have to get this test bench configured. 00:18:31.560 --> 00:18:36.320 Off comes the 3600. 00:18:36.320 --> 00:18:41.560 And on goes the 5700 XT. Sorry, you're changing the cooler out? 00:18:41.560 --> 00:18:46.360 It came with a better cooler. It even has RGB. 00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:49.560 For someone who doesn't like RGB, you sure put a lot of it in here. 00:18:49.560 --> 00:18:52.720 It's to play with home automation. I don't know, I got sensors now. 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.720 Yeah, for high-grammation. 00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:58.960 The lights can show, the lights can be the same color as the temperature so I can be 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.000 like, ooh, it's getting hot in here. Really? 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:05.680 No, no one, take off all your, whatever. 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:10.200 I do think their stock coolers are an under-appreciated thing about AMD. 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.920 They really set themselves apart from the competition as part of the kind of the rise 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:20.640 in comeback and then that's something that they've just stuck with ever since then. 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:27.360 Just having dramatically superior stock coolers wherever they do include them. 00:19:27.360 --> 00:19:35.480 That's that. I guess I haven't talked about it at all. We've got a Challenger 9060XT 16 gig from Asrock which is not the most powerful card 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.520 in the world but for something that just needs to be able to handle basic game testing, 00:19:39.520 --> 00:19:44.720 it is more than enough. Hey Nick, what's this SSD for? 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.120 More games. On where? The test bench. 00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:54.640 Oh, okay. So we've just got a PCIe Gen 5 drive for games on a test bench. 00:19:54.640 --> 00:20:00.920 You are a confusing man. We have a couple of things here that are going on your desk and your bedroom. 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:06.040 So what are you, what's the point of adding these two things to your jerk station? 00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:11.640 Come on, you can't call it that. It's in his bedroom, that's what it is. 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:18.400 This is replacing my G502. This is an audio interface from Mo2 who I've never heard of. 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:23.320 How did you find out about Mo2? Oh, Mo2's been around for a while, like Ederol and Roland and stuff like that. 00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:28.240 Okay, so they're like an established audio brand. They're well known. This is basically like a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.800 You have two inputs on the front that can either do quarter inch or XLR. 00:20:31.800 --> 00:20:35.240 And on the back, you have a midi in and a midi out as well as a couple of other outs for 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:39.800 monitors. This is pretty slick. And I see that you have a bass guitar and a pedal. 00:20:39.800 --> 00:20:43.640 Are you going to play for us? You kind of have to. Why not? 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.680 Sorry? Well, you can't get an upgrade for your instrument and not play it for it. 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:50.680 Yeah, I can. I just watched Sven not do it. That's because Sven doesn't know how to play. 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:55.040 I don't either. Do we have a keyboard and, oh, this is for the test bench? 00:20:55.040 --> 00:20:59.040 Yeah, it's a Gravastar Mercury. Oh, that's pretty funky. 00:21:01.040 --> 00:21:04.040 That's cool. Dude, look at this corner. 00:21:04.040 --> 00:21:07.040 This is like Command Station corner. I freaking love it. 00:21:07.040 --> 00:21:08.040 Whoa. 00:21:10.040 --> 00:21:13.040 Tuned in and ready to help, like a pocket sized assistant without the pockets. 00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:16.040 So this is just tuned in to open AI or is it running a local? 00:21:16.040 --> 00:21:22.040 No, it's open AI right now. Would the goal in the longer term be to run a local LLM for it to do all your home automation 00:21:22.040 --> 00:21:26.040 stuff because I can't imagine you'd want to burn open AI tokens to turn your lights on 00:21:26.040 --> 00:21:30.040 and off? No. The idea is to be local, yes. 00:21:30.040 --> 00:21:36.040 So the idea is that he will sit beside the pixel display and the Google Nest goes away 00:21:36.040 --> 00:21:39.040 and then I can just talk to him. 00:21:39.040 --> 00:21:42.040 Do these do anything or are these just for show? They're just for show and emoting. 00:21:42.040 --> 00:21:48.040 It's got a plethora of emotions so you can ask it to look something in old. 00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:52.040 Okay. Scared, surprised. Do your best impression of an angry horse. 00:21:52.040 --> 00:21:56.040 Can't do animal impressions but I can show a frustrated emotion if you'd like a humanish 00:21:56.040 --> 00:21:59.040 footprint. Sure. Do your best. 00:21:59.040 --> 00:22:04.040 Best take on frustration, no horse sound that hopefully gives you the idea. 00:22:04.040 --> 00:22:07.040 You know what? Good job. What is going on here? 00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:12.040 I was trying to... We're getting things kind of cleaned up for the, you know, the after pictures and stuff. 00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:15.040 You know this is not where art goes, right sir? 00:22:15.040 --> 00:22:19.040 Yeah, that needs to go on the wall still. 00:22:19.040 --> 00:22:22.040 Yeah, we should have put this up today. That's so cool. 00:22:22.040 --> 00:22:25.040 I think Adam even has exactly the place for it. 00:22:25.040 --> 00:22:31.040 Oh shit. Right? That actually works really well. 00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:36.040 Boom. If you told me that Spider-Man can't flew in it's zocked me. 00:22:36.040 --> 00:22:39.040 What do you think? I don't know. It was underneath the TV. 00:22:39.040 --> 00:22:44.040 It was doing just fine there but now it's up so it's good. 00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:49.040 I think this is about to boot. Yep, memory training just finished and it's rebooting. 00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:52.040 She's up and running. Think we're done. 00:22:52.040 --> 00:22:55.040 We got your rack completely sorted out. 00:22:55.040 --> 00:22:58.040 You've got way more hardware in it than you did before. 00:22:58.040 --> 00:23:04.040 There's no computers to trip over in the entire dining room, living room area. 00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:07.040 Did you guys even change anything over here? 00:23:07.040 --> 00:23:10.040 Why does it feel so much nicer? 00:23:10.040 --> 00:23:15.040 Honestly, I think we just cleaned up. Hey, the RGB, the RGB lighting doesn't hurt. 00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:19.040 It hurts me. It hurts me. What else did we even do? 00:23:19.040 --> 00:23:23.040 We added his new mouse and his audio interface to his computer. 00:23:23.040 --> 00:23:27.040 We upgraded your Wi-Fi with your new Ubiquiti access point. 00:23:27.040 --> 00:23:30.040 That's in the back. I put up little sensors everywhere. 00:23:30.040 --> 00:23:37.040 You got your hygrometers. His backups are now officially 321 and of course the centerpiece of the entire setup, 00:23:37.040 --> 00:23:42.040 the Ritchie Mini, that for now is kind of expensive to run but in the long term is going to be 00:23:42.040 --> 00:23:48.040 a fun project to get a locally run AI assistant to help, I don't know, do something when your 00:23:48.040 --> 00:23:52.040 humidity changes? Turn the lights red. 00:23:52.040 --> 00:23:58.040 Sure. Thanks AMD. This has been another fantastic AMD Ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade. 00:23:58.040 --> 00:24:02.040 If you guys are looking for another one to watch, hey, why not check out one of the other 00:24:02.040 --> 00:24:04.040 members of the Labs team, Lucas.
