Hoffman, it's been about three months since you've built your Intel Extreme Upgrade.
Yes. How has everything been? Everything is amazing so far.
Yeah. Uh, kind of. Regardless of how it went, we're going to play through your old Intel Extreme Upgrade video.
Yeah. You're going to react to it, see what worked, what did it, and just kind of walk us through everything.
Sounds good to me. Okay. Let's do it. We've never done it before.
First time. First time. You ready? Uh, no, never, but yes.
Let's go. We're sliding into another Intel Extreme Upgrade.
This time around, it's Hoffman. One of our editors.
That sliding in was Improv. Shoots for me for lttstore.com.
Aw. This photo right here, I was taking photos with Yvonne for the ladies sweat pant and tops,
and then Linus just came in, rushed in, and picked her up and was like, was this one Improv
too? Yeah, it was Improv too. Oh no. It was so sweet.
I was like, I had to include that. Like her reaction was like real.
Genuine. Yeah. Aw, that's so cute. One more thing. Yes.
Two systems. Two systems? Behind you. Right there.
Oh my gosh. It's a NAS. How on earth are we going to do all of this?
I'm so proud of that NAS. Oh, you also need these. Since you're here.
Please. Sorry. I'm not supposed to slide her on the floor.
Sorry.
Yeah, I planned this for sure. I wanted them, like whenever I go to guest's house, I always bring slippers.
But he was already walking in your place without slippers, not even at the door.
He's slidding. I mean, it was in the morning, so maybe his feet wasn't as sweaty.
And those slippers are like the bathroom slippers. They're like, you know, the hotel ones.
It's like fluffy. But hey. It works.
It works. It looks great on him. I love the intro.
The intro is kind of like Nick's idea.
What he told me was a crappy set up, black and white kind of thing.
Right. And then transform into RGB bar, colorful, amazing balls.
Wait, did you make this? No, no, no. Okay.
It's the same guy who made the LTT intro. Not the genius bar.
Yeah, Marcus came up with that line. I'm not going to lie.
This looks extremely ambitious. You have a full PC build, new TV, and what are we doing with this?
It's a NAS. Yeah. I love it.
I love it. So basically, I'm giving you the workstation that you need to leave me and go back to independent
work. You're kind of too smart, actually.
I mean, probably won't leave.
I just like to do more video stuff on the side sometimes.
So having a very beefy set up. I like never really talked about those in the video, but I do a lot of video work and
photo work on the side. So having speakers and all those things kind of like you can do everything like post wise
on your own with the NAS as well.
You dick. What are we doing first?
PC first, I guess. Okay.
PC first. Ask questions later. Bam!
Yeah. Why'd you choose this particular motherboard CPU combo?
It's cheap, obviously. Well, the motherboard's cheap. And the CPU's a 9.9.
I mean, what's cooler than saying, I have a 9.9, so.
Don't you love the smell of new laptops? Yeah, I always want a 9.9.
Manufacturing stink. Oh my God, can I play with this?
He gets so distracted.
It is a cool car. I'm just sad that we didn't get a, like, he didn't get to drive it.
Was he like snooping all over your place? Yeah, he was.
He was. Not as much because I was like, hey, there's another computer right there.
It's an ass. And then that's when we're like, okay.
Because I live further from the office.
Right. So we kind of started filming around 10 or 11-ish.
And then Linus had to go back. It was a Friday for Wancho at around like four-ish.
It was like a 45-minute drive. And it was a rush hour.
Yeah. So you guys didn't really have a lot of time to build all this.
No, not really. Yeah. Especially when it comes to networking stuff, it's always like a lot of tinkering involved,
I think. But he got distracted by the car.
He charged it. It was like, oh, I want to drive it.
But we never did. I'm kind of sad about that. Now there's no way.
I need a USB charger. God, this thing looks ugly, doesn't it?
Oh my God. I need a money cat. It's a solar money cat.
But good luck. I know what it's for. I know it's for you.
Bring me that money, baby. Thanks, Intel. All right, let's see what you've stolen from the office.
Oh, no. No, that's mine. Oh.
Wow. I've been meaning to show the trophy to Linus for a long time, the badminton trophy.
Because we play badminton, and I kind of suck at it.
He's really good at it. Wait, but why do you have a trophy, then, if you suck at it?
I stopped playing in grade 11.
OK, but you used to be nice. You used to be.
So if you played Linus in a match right now, Linus would probably win.
Oh, heck yeah. Given a couple months of training, you think you could potentially give him?
Not a couple months, man. I need at least half a year to lose, like, 40 pounds first.
He's really quick because of how short and tiny he is.
So he's really, like, agile. He can, like, boom, boom, like, right away.
And he plays, like, twice a week, so. Oh, wow.
Third place, that's why the trophy is all the way down there.
Not up top. I mean, it's still on the podium.
Oh, not to an Asian pair. Academic excellence.
Oh. And third place, doubles.
Oh, so the kumon. So if you need math questions, I'm so proud of kumon.
Oh, that is wonderful. What is level J200?
I don't know. I don't remember. That was grade eight.
Oh, can we? That's for the study breaks? Is it work now?
Or keep that with your academic trophies? Do you want some? I got some soju as well.
I was down to drink with Linus. Oh, my God, I love it.
I guess it was worth it. Wait a second. No, you've told me about your jank mod PC in the mat case thing.
Back when we did our thing, you were like, oh, yeah, I have one too.
And then you showed it to me and I was like, oh, that's pretty jank. I think we can do better.
Wow. We didn't even show how jank that my Mac Pro is.
Well, I dremeled the rear IO stuff out.
So I bought aluminum sheets from Home Depot and then just cut out outlines from motherboard.
Thank God we didn't show it. Oh, it looks awesome.
Oh, my God. This is like walking into an Apple store.
There's just Apple everywhere.
Okay. The fact that you still have the G5 like water cooler shroudings on this.
Oh, it looks so nice. You were doing really great. I broke it down.
I broke it down. Up until the hard drive just being in there.
So story time, what happened was after this, after the Intel upgrade, the PC that we built
kept blue screening. Every time I put a load on it, like play games or render something, just blue screens.
And every single time there's a different code for the blue screen.
So what I did was I took my old rig and just started to piece together things that I know would work.
So 8700K, is it the GPU?
Slap the 3080 that we have in there. Not the GPU.
And then slap the motherboard in there with the 10850K.
Not the CPU and motherboard. Slap the RAM in there.
It's the fucking Rams.
So now you have some sort of like hybrid creation now, right?
Only the Rams. Only the Rams. Only the Rams.
Okay. But everything else is like still the same computer that you guys built here.
Pretty much. Okay. Except for the cables.
Because I was like, maybe it's the cable mod, but it wasn't. So I'm going to be, I have to put the pink cables back in there.
But I do miss the Mac Pro. It's got to go because the M2 ceramic get the M2.
Just though. Hoffman.
What's up? Have you ever cleaned it?
No. You know, when I go to the Apple store, the genius bar usually tell me to get a new computer.
So. Well, so you actually already. That is 100% true.
100% true. Whenever you break something, you bring it to the Apple store.
Do you want to buy a new computer? And even if you get it like repaired, they literally just give you the new thing.
Don't they? Well, they give you chances. They give you choices.
Like, hey, we can repair it for $800. Replace your whole freaking motherboard.
Only one tiny thing is wrong. Like, you know, the RAM, but hey, we're going to replace the whole thing.
And then you're like, hey, you know, I'm just getting a new computer.
That's why. Oh, like genius bars. People are so fucking stupid.
And an Apple users. I grew up as an Apple user and never cleaned my computer.
Why do you need an RTX 3080? Everyone's getting 3080.
Because I can. Oh my God.
Are you just going to try your game? No, I didn't upset that.
Yeah, I actually game sometimes. Because you're actually using the 3080.
I actually used the 3080. Really? Yeah.
I didn't even know you were like a racing game guy.
You know, no one has beat my score in the project.
And I had no idea you took my Prusa printer. Oh, it's been so helpful.
Okay. I found something that didn't take that long.
The Prusa's so nice. Do you ever use it? Heck yeah.
Oh, not always, but like if I need to print something like organizers or whatever.
Well, for crying out loud. Oops. This is one of the new M1 ones too.
Oops. Okay. Those were like for the last.
I think he was actually a little bit. Actually for internal use. You're fine with this one though, right?
Like this MacBook here. You sounded pretty serious.
Linus was pretty serious. I mean Linus did mention on the last show that this was the most he's ever seen taken
from the office. Oh, really? Yeah.
Where's your screwdriver? Are you going to bring it?
Well, in my butt, obviously. Well, no, no, don't say that.
Oh yeah, but seriously, I need you to decide for me.
Okay. Can you settle like a debate? Air or water?
Air. Okay. But maybe water.
Okay. All right. I learned nothing.
This is going to be your NAS then, right? Yep.
Have you given any thought to networking at all? No. No.
So do you have a switch? No. How are you going to access your files on the NAS?
That's something you have to teach me. Oh my gosh.
We're going to end up going shopping today. No, we're not. We're not.
I have a really long cable. I stole from work. I'm not going to be in the cold.
Internet cable that we can run from the router to my room for now.
There's so many things wrong with what you just said.
I don't even know where to begin. Is this a super micro board?
Yeah. Why do you have this? Got a Xeon in there.
Is it from work? No. I got it from Craigslist.
Okay. I think so basically we don't need to change anything about this other than to blow some
dust out of it. Exactly. Oh, that's not too bad.
Yeah. So I was like, it's not too bad. Andy, that's not too bad, right?
Not as bad as David's, honestly. Wait. Why didn't you go 12th then?
Oh, because I made this whole list like a couple months back.
Oh, you got screwed by the bad timing of the 12th gym release.
I mean, it's still very, very fast. It's still nice.
So I think it's still so nice. This thing, right?
That's the CPU. You know how to build a computer, come on. Kind of.
Stop pretending. Stop pretending. You built that, right?
No, I didn't. Oh, you really? No.
Oh. That's why it's so cheap. Oh.
Didn't you build your Mac? I did. It was a month to do it.
It was a while. Okay. Corner to corner.
Which corner is that? That corner. Okay, cool.
And then I see that you always wiggle it, and then you close it, and then that thing will
pop up. Ta-da. Yeah, the speed.
The system works. Make sure you got to keep this flat right here just in case you got a RMA or something.
Okay. All right. Are you done taking the piss?
And then we got, we got. I forgot what these are.
16, two sticks of 16 gigs. Stop.
I forgot what these are. So this is a RAM that messed up, huh?
This is the RAM that messed everything up. Wow.
Blue screens. I think it's used from the office.
Yeah. Yeah. We didn't get the new RAM because it was like, hey, it's available.
Why not? There's like a waste just sitting there. Right.
So I was like, yeah, sure. Why not? Just take whatever you stuff you know we have.
Probably use it for some like crazy ass project. Like Parks and Games.
I just dropped it. I think like the memory, like how much?
Ron, Ron, Rin, Rub.
Two sticks of 16 gigs. 3,600 CL 16, 16 gig.
Nice. I want more RAM now. This is the part that gets crunchy. I want more RAM.
Honestly, this is growing so well. I feel like we don't really need me anymore. Just be hot as a tech tips.
Yeah, you have so much tech tips though. Petite.
Petite. He's got all these old man references.
I had no idea who he was telling me about.
I was like, what is that ribbon? Oh, it's from an old movie. I've never seen it before.
I feel you so much on this. Ta-da!
White, white, taking digs at Edzel, taking digs at Nicole.
Is he like the department troll or what? It's a white case.
It's pretty. It is pretty. But the thing we gotta figure out
is our cooling solutions. I would go with the NHD15 personally
because I just don't like hassle.
And an air cooler with two fans on it is basically-
We actually have air coolers in,
like whenever I have, like think of that debate. I just wanted to see,
I asked Linus that question to see what his opinion is on it.
And then I kind of figure out, it seems like he favors air cooler more.
But you still want it to go water. Yeah, because it looks cooler.
Let's go RGB and I've never had AIO before. So you're going for aesthetics for this build.
Pretty much. Well, aesthetic plus, like, it works.
You know? Good to go. Bulletproof.
It'll be running in 10 years. I give you my personal Linus Tech Tips guarantee.
AIO is more expensive, right? The AIO is more expensive.
And it looks prettier. It looks prettier. I need a hobby, so I think we should use the AIO.
Okay, we're going to AIO, let's do it. So have you ever installed an AIO before?
I'm glad we're going with the AIO. Okay, so now we're crossing new ground with you, Mr.
I can tell two years from now. Is this the RAM? I mean, I've seen you struggle with the AIO all this time.
He, we built, like the thing with...
We built the computer with AIO in a way that we can clean it very easily.
So he was like, hey, put the rat in here
instead of, you know, yadida. Because like, when you clean it, you can just use a vacuum and ka-ching.
And I did that. I can just take the filter off and use a vacuum and ka-ching.
I mean, as a former Mac user. Ah.
Or, I guess, still current. Ah.
As a Mac user, you're not really familiar with cleaning stuff.
Are you planning on cleaning this one? Oh, all I know is how to take a microfiber towel
and clean my screen. And the coating on the MacBook would wear off
and it would look ugly. That's all I know about cleaning computers.
Did you know about that? No, I didn't know at all. Apple had like this coating,
like have this coating on their Macs. And if you clean it with something other than water,
the coating will come off. Why would they do that? Yeah, why would they do that?
So they have like a recall thing. Cleaning computer is fine.
That's all I can say. Because it's satisfying. But have you done it?
No. You know, Mr. SmackTalk here,
it's a pretty good idea to make sure that you're going to be better at it
before you come at someone else about how much they struggled.
Because I'm getting real unhelpful feeling.
I gotta say. That's a cooler.
Yeah. Am I going to do it or? I told you, I wasn't feeling very helpful.
I really... We're Detective Linus. Wait, can't, don't you have to install this before,
install multiple before this? I don't know. Oh, it's a quiz.
I've developed some amnesia here. Oh. The thing with Intel Upgraded is that there's no plan.
Everything's just spur of the moment. Everything just happens.
I was like, what are we going to do? What's next? Like, why are you going to the cooler?
I don't know what to do next, dude. What is this again? What is it already?
What for? Culling? Oh, another, oh my God.
Another reference. Is there a reference again?
No. Maybe not. I don't know. I just don't understand them sometimes.
I just thought this happened. It doesn't really matter. Okay. Did you put that in the front?
Yeah. Well, then you can use it. Oh crap.
Is that what happened last time? No, no, that was with the other case, Andy.
Look at that. Nicole.
Wow. She did a good job. Let's make sure.
Yep. Easy-peasy. No problem. See that, Nicole?
You know, she's your supervisor now. Yeah, she is. Okay.
So what? She can't fire me. She can advise that you should be fired.
I'm sorry, Nicole. Nicole, you're amazing. Nicole's lovely.
She is amazing. You're also gonna need to pop this on the panel. Yeah, just grab the bottom and pull out.
It's a jerking motion. Yeah, jerk it.
Oh my God. Do you wanna jerk it? You can jerk it for me.
She's a jerk. Gee, Hoffman, you know, I think you could be not
if you just got some more education, you know? Oh, this is like out of nowhere.
You know, I'm working for you, right? Yeah, I guess it speaks to my poor taste if you suck.
And we're gonna be done this build in no time. I love it.
See, Andy, I told you, it's gonna be easy. And I love these accents.
Why do you have a 40 pack of anodized aluminum washers?
Oh, the gold accents are so sick. Why not?
What are they for? Oh, is it for the motherboard?
You know, I had no idea what the washers are for.
Well, stop. Every day. It's safe, right? I mean, I wouldn't do it.
That's okay, as long as it looks cool. Not gonna lie, that looks pretty cool.
Oh, I have cable mop cables, actually.
Do you? Do. Look at that. Wow.
And got some gold accents, too. White, black, and pink.
Well, it's gray. With gold accents.
Hey, what did you think about the color combo, though? Oh, there.
Yeah, it's all right. Okay, okay, okay. I like a clean build.
Yeah. It looks so white. Black or white?
Black or white. Black or white. Okay, okay. Bling, bling.
I mean, wear it loud, right?
You like it. You like it. I do like it. God, I love those cable combs.
You go from, like, tangled to dangle.
It's so satisfying. I wish my life could be like that. Good solid power supply.
We've gone with an R. Did you choose, like, which cables were which color?
Yeah, every single cable, yeah. If someone were to give you a budget,
what would you budget first?
Depends what your priority is. Right? Yeah.
But where would you rank the PSU?
I mean, you don't want a crappy PSU, but. But what would you rank it?
I don't know, maybe like fourth? Mm-hmm, right, right, right.
I mean, like, even if it's fourth on the list, what, you got like,
CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU.
I'd put the motherboard after the PSU, in my opinion.
Every time Linus built something, he just goes like, it's not pretty. It's not my best work.
I'm just thinking, like, what is your pretty as best work then?
Has flashbacks back to the NTIX days? Oh my God.
Yeah, when I ordered those cable mount cables, I had no idea how long I needed.
So I was like, I ordered the longest, and the same price, and then we get more cables, right?
That's like so much. You didn't really think this through, huh?
No, I didn't. It was the same price. So when you were coming up with these parts,
was it just you thinking what would be good, or did you consult help from anybody?
Okay, it was mostly me getting what I want,
and then showing people, hey, is this compatible?
What else do I need, you know? And then Matt, our product curator or whatever,
he would just try to sell you. Hey, this case just came out.
5,000D or something like that. I'm like, it's $100 more.
I want to keep my budget low, so I'm gonna go with the old one.
So it's kind of like that sometimes. I see.
That's why my cable's still so long, because get the most out of your money.
Hey Linus, why you work out, you know? Why you try to get such a big booty,
so I can close the case. All right, hey, not bad.
Let's get that GPU installed, all right? Let's do it. Here you go.
Well, you're gonna do it, that's your job. Oh, that's true.
Oh, that fits. I wanted to set a big loop on this, I guess, because... See that, Nicole?
Well, that's perfect, because I pay for those cables, I want to see more of it.
Good. More bang for your buck. Yeah, I actually went back and pulled more of the cable out,
so I can see more of the cable. Oh, God.
Let's find out if it works. You ready? Yeah, you do it. You do the honors.
No, you do it. No, you gotta do it. No, you do it. No, you gotta do it.
You name it, it's your machine. It's your machine. But you built it.
But you configured it. Okay, fine. Can we do it together? We can do it together.
Okay, ready? The cringe moment.
Did you turn on the power supply? On the back of the PSU. I did not, ready?
Okay, try again.
Oh, crap. Hey, I love this. Yeah!
Hey, I love this. Stolen from work.
The ABCs of gaming. Stolen. Yeah, we can go to L.
Is that your favorite? What's L? L is for loot.
No, L is for LTTScore.com. Come on.
Thanks, Andy. Oh, LTTScore. Oh, boy. It hasn't turned on yet.
Oh, you know. Well, cause it, oh. Do you even have like a younger brother or sister
to read that to or something? No, I don't.
Just for you? It's mostly for me. It looks nice, okay?
And I think that one's the one that's in the product photo
because sometimes I would take the photo and then I would get carried on to something else
and then forget to return the products. So I just keep it.
Yeah, so I have a deck link. Like if I passes all the NVIDIA-
I paid for that deck link, by the way. Right, Color Man. That's my own money.
So that we can have a clean output to use. Versus everything else.
On that, so you'll sit in bed with like a wireless keyboard and mouse or something
and like be working in the- No, I can just look-
You have to separate work. I question your ergonomics. Okay.
Work-life balance. So you can't edit on the bed, okay? And then you're gonna have your color accurate output
for this computer over there.
This computer actually goes with this monitor. I see.
Yeah, so this is the Windows computer. And- How many computers does one person need?
How did I not notice this? Oh my God.
I'm sorry. Oh my God, your paint's coming off your wall. Can you just stick this up with just like double-sided tape?
I'll talk about that. Photo.
Number one, I'll put it on there because I wanted to cover the holes that were on the wall.
Number two, that photo, the LTT water bottle means a lot
to me because it's the very first product photo that I took here.
I mean, we could just do it the Hoffman way. Yeah. Pretty cool.
Just nest it on there and put it in. There, hard drive installed, right?
Right, Hoffman? Hard drives are so expensive. It's like one-fifth of the budget.
This is a good budget. The whole 5,000? I think so, yeah.
Wow. Or maybe one-sixth.
How useful has this NAS been in your everyday life, though?
I wish you didn't ask that question because I haven't really set up the NAS.
Yeah. Wait, so you're not using it at all?
Not yet.
I don't know how. It will take a while of tinkering.
I kind of went into this. I was like, hey, I need a hobby.
So dockers, whatever, NAS.
I have no idea what I'm talking about. But that was my plan.
Intel pays with NAS and hard drives because hard drives are expensive, right?
Each of them are like $300 or something like that. So yeah, it's just there.
It's just there. Looking pretty. Looking pretty. It's not even that pretty because it's an old case
and it's kind of noisy, too. So why don't you just unplug it if you're not using it?
Because I'm scared of it breaking. I don't know. Keep this hard drive spinning.
Okay, I'm embarrassing myself.
Yeah, I'm not that techie, honestly.
Peel everything, please. You know what?
I hate the most. The peel stays on there for so long
that it starts to degrade and you can't peel it anymore.
Did we miss something? Did we accidentally get one of the little metal tabs
in one of the USB ports or something? That was scary, man.
Because we were in a rush and it just pops up
whenever you're in a hurry. Oh, Lord. Okay, about these studio monitors.
Yeah, they're quite big, aren't they? They're really big.
You didn't consult anybody about what size it might be?
No, I did not. I wanted these speakers for a long time,
like for two years, and it's a pretty big ticket item, you know?
And for this upgrade, I don't know if you can tell, but all the items that I have are pretty big ticket items.
Right. Because like, hey, I mean, I couldn't afford a $100 desk myself.
I can't really, well, I can't. I don't want to spend $400 on something
like $100 on speakers. Fair enough. Yeah, so let someone else pay for it.
Thanks, Intel. I mean, future-proofing, right?
Future-proofing, yeah, yeah, yeah. Future-proofing, that's it. What if you move into a bigger place, right?
I was gonna talk about, so, for this setup,
I brought the PC to set this one time,
and it was like, we have to make a film within 48 hours,
and they were shooting with an Alexa Mini LF,
so it was shooting 4K ProRes,
and in one day, in one day, we shot one terabyte of footage in one day.
Oh my gosh. Yeah. And I brought that, if I brought a laptop there,
oh man, my laptop would have been on fire, but I brought the whole set of, I have photos.
I don't know if I should send it to you later, man. Yeah, I know, that'd be sick. Can I show it to you now?
Well, pop it up. Pop it, pop it up. Boom, boom, boom. Yeah, yeah.
So, I got, look at this.
This is my laptop. Wow. I got my UPS, my Intel rig, and my monitor.
I hauled that to set.
It looks like this on set. Oh wow, that's pretty sick. I know, right? So I was literally editing on it live,
and from like 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Oh my God. You know. And then the next day was like 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
But man, I'm just so happy with the setup,
the 3080's inside, and no plural.
The 3080 inside and the 10850K,
it just edits the 4K Pro S454 like butter.
I was playing back so smooth. It was so nice.
I thought about bringing the speakers there, because hey, it's eight inch, it's amazing,
but I just can't figure out how to haul it, because they're so expensive. I don't want to break it or scratch.
It'd be heavy. The studio monitors are pretty durable. They're really heavy.
Yeah, they'll probably last me like 20 years. That's why I have them. It's not ideal now.
I know that 100%, but in the future, if I have my own studio or whatever,
or like editing suite or something, then it's definitely gonna be there for me.
Good to hear that you're using the PC though. It's so good, man.
Oh man. Premiere only crashed once.
Only once. Once. That's actually pretty good, yeah.
It was a four minute, four and a half minute video
exported the Pro S within 10 minutes.
That's pretty quick. That's fast. Yeah, it's so good.
Oh man. And whenever you edit stuff, like you want things to play back smooth,
so that you don't get your head, it has to be clear, every playback,
if there's a skip or something like that, then you're kind of like, what the fuck happened?
But if it's smooth, then you know exactly you're gonna get in the final product.
So your creativity, juice, brain, whatever flow, it just flows so much better.
And I'm just so happy with the setup. So happy.
Audio is 50% of the video,
and I want to get better at it. And these speakers are really gonna help me.
With studio monitors, they're usually very flat sounding and not much flavor in them.
I'll be honest, I have no idea about audio. I should not have to see anything of the audio
in the video. Cause it's definitely shake,
it could shake my room if I turn it up. But I mean, you're not wrong.
Studio monitors are supposed to be flat. Yeah, they're supposed to be pretty flat and inaccurate.
Aw man! Yeah Linus?
What on earth did you plug that Ethernet port into?
Oh. Is this a hundred megabit per second port?
Man, networking stuff is so confusing. It smells bad. Smart enough.
I think I speak for everyone when I say that eight inches is really too much.
Yeah, it is. Yeah. Four, five, that's lots.
Oh, what are you talking about? That's probably what Yvonne told him. Oh my God.
That was such a good time in the frame falling. A hundred percent.
Yeah! It's so big! You're like, you're like right there.
That looks fine. This is ridiculous, dude. That looks fine.
A C1. Oh my dog in the back.
It's just like chill. What's your dog's name? His name's Lock Lock.
Lock Lock. Yeah. What grade is it? It's a Maltese.
Yeah. He's a little shit. Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure.
All right. Yeah, this is not very level Hoffman. The mound was so crooked.
I was like, man. I haven't even fixed it yet actually.
Incher two. I wasn't supposed to fix it. Do you think you ever will?
We're off. I have to. Yeah, fair enough.
I haven't peeled the TV film yet, which is bad.
And I haven't peeled it because I'm always thinking, when I fixed the mound, I have to take the TV off.
And somehow the panel's going to be laying on the ground. So I have to keep the film on there
or else I'll scratch the screen. But that hasn't happened yet. I don't know when that will happen.
So yeah. He's going to edit someone's portrait and send it to them.
And they're going to be like, why is it like this? That's all right.
When you're immersed in the experience of the film, you're immersed, right?
You don't care about the angle. You're going to have 16 terabytes of usable space.
That's both. No, it's about to say, doesn't the angle ruin the immersion?
That's all right. The reason why I have my bed on the ground is because I bought the bed and I couldn't afford the frame
anymore. So yeah. Is that our sound is over there.
Yeah. That wouldn't bother you, though? I'll probably play it through the TV.
So with the choice between great quality
audio that's coming from the wrong place or atrocious audio that's coming from the right place,
you take the bad audio from the right direction.
It's a tough call. I'm not saying there's a right answer here.
I don't know what to do, Ernest. I'm still trying to figure out how the setup is going to work. But I think in this situation, we can go.
It'll take quite a year. Oh, never mind.
Yeah. I don't think you can do it. Right? Yeah.
I feel like the theater is over there, but I'm watching from here.
I wanted to watch Wolf of Wall Street, the line I said no. I didn't set up, it's super heavy.
The whole movie. You're going to have to blur the TV in the video,
so we did it. Another extreme tech upgrade is wrapped up.
We've got more coming. If you guys enjoyed Hoffman's tech upgrade,
where we figured, man, you're so grateful. So grateful. Gaining slash editing machines.
The computer is just so good. Audio setup, upgraded NAS, freaking TV.
You really know how to stretch your dollar. I got to give you that tomorrow. I can watch it.
Yeah. So overall, how do you feel about that setup?
I mean, you mentioned you like it. I love it. Are there any parts that you wish you would have changed, though?
No. Here's the thing. If I get fired tomorrow, I'll have something that I can use.
I'm not saying that if I quit. If I get fired tomorrow, I'll still be able to edit things.
You never know. What's your favorite part of the setup?
My favorite part of the setup, man. So every time I go home now, in the back of my head,
it's like there's a treat. I can hear really good music from those studio monitors.
I listen to a lot of Dr. Drays on them. Yeah, and Eminem, just hip hop, Kendrick Lamar's new album.
Those speakers are so good for hip hop. And I would say my favorite, it's definitely the speakers.
OLED TV is probably second.
But the PC in general, man, I don't know.
I love the PC. I love this. I love everything about this setup.
Well, I mean, I configured it, so.
But I think the part that makes me the most happy is definitely the studio monitor.
Because even at work, I can use the workstation, right?
So at home, it's like the PC is nothing really special
compared to work, but we're a studio monitor. We don't have that at work.
I can't steal them from work, but I have one at home now. So I can listen to music in a way that it was intended to,
I guess, even though the placement of the speakers
are questionable. And the bass, I don't know anything terms,
but people say it like put some bass traps, whatever. It's a rear ported speaker, though, that I know for sure.
So it's too close to the wall. I mean, MKB has it in his setup, and no one comments about it.
Sick. Well, thank you so much, Hoffman.
Well, thanks for having me. Yeah, for sure. Anything you want to say to the Floatplane peeps?
No, not really. Yeah, they can fuck off, huh?
Hey. No, Floatplane people are very nice people.
Love you.
