1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,880
We did it! David's hoarder garage is no more, and in its place is $20,000 of cold, hard cash.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:17,920
But, um, you do still want to play games, right? So much more than that. I want it to be the ultimate gaming room slash home theater slash workshop.

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,360
No exaggeration, when we're done here, I think this is going to be the best upgrade anyone has ever done at our company.

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Okay, that might be a little bit of puffery, sir. But, I actually do have very high expectations for this setup, because there's no sponsor for this upgrade,

5
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,360
meaning the tech tips are going to be a bit more practical, and also high stakes,

6
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,000
since every dollar that David put into this came right out of the precious collectibles he had to sell to pay for it.

7
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,200
So, I think it's time to roll up our sleeves and, uh, stretch some dollars.

8
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Like, I'm stretching out this segue. To our sponsor.

9
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,200
This is my house. Wow! I can't believe you guys moved in like a month ago.

10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,400
Yeah, my partner's been working really hard on getting this space set up.

11
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Priority was getting the book nooks sorted, and it's awesome.

12
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,320
This is incredible! Yeah, we're very, very lucky.

13
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,320
It's funny, my girlfriend is the same problem I had a little while ago. She loves collecting things.

14
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,520
This is a very valuable collection of books. They're all, like, special edition.

15
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Oh, really? Looks like I think this one's, like, 600 bucks or something.

16
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,400
One of these, uh, one of these tour edition ones is that much, and like, everything is quite valuable on the shelves, so.

17
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Oh, wow. Uh, part three of this video line is clearing out her collection.

18
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,440
TV corner looks great, too, other than, oh, I was gonna say, TV too high, but.

19
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:59,600
I got the fancy mount. Love it. It was so hard to install. It took me, like, hours and hours.

20
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600
But I also wall mounted the PS5. Does it come down more so we can see that? No.

21
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Let me see the top. Cool.

22
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,000
My only question is, what are you going to do here?

23
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,080
I can see the bones of some pretty interesting ideas.

24
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,640
What is the PVC pipe in the corner for? We are going to make an RGB cloud lamp that a computer will be coming out of.

25
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:25,760
Before we do that, let's get the TV mounted. Okay, I see you went with the LG C377 inch.

26
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,120
It was the best value OLED I could find, so per pixel dimming,

27
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,880
great blacks, great motion clarity for gaming, both retro and new stuff.

28
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,480
Right, because you can throw filters on that, and it gets not, it's not a CRT, and it'll never be a CRT.

29
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,400
But, pretty CRT-like. It also has four HDMI 2.1's in, including the Arc port,

30
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,240
which means I can use this receiver that has two HDMI 2.1 outs

31
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
for the two TVs that are going to be in here. Two TVs.

32
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,600
One's a monitor. It's a monitor, not a TV. Oh man, okay, okay, okay.

33
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Let's go, let's go. Three, two, one, there we go. Oh, it's not that heavy, okay.

34
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,880
Are you stuck behind the TV, David? Nope. You sure? I can crouch.

35
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,120
You're quite certain you're not stuck. Oh. This is definitely the biggest TV I've ever owned.

36
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,160
Wow, you are going to be pretty close to this, hey? It's like a movie theater.

37
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,920
I feel like there's going to be a pretty stark contrast between what David's S.O. did,

38
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,280
and what he's doing here. She likes the ideas.

39
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,280
She won't like the executions.

40
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Now, I didn't think you were planning to build a new computer. Also, I couldn't help noticing that this was from the office.

41
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Well, I didn't start out planning on building a computer. I just sort of got one upgrade at a time until it turned into a whole new computer.

42
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,600
This looks sick, though. Yeah, this is from one of our streams.

43
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Cherry tree scented over, and it was in white, which doesn't quite work with the vibe I wanted.

44
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,400
So I had Justin paint it to a dark gray black.

45
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,200
And now you've got a black Borg cube PC.

46
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Oh, it's so sick. And this is like top of the freaking line, dude.

47
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,720
It's pretty close. My only question is, what's the deal with these bolts coming out the bottom?

48
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,720
A PC this beautiful doesn't deserve to rest on a desk.

49
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,440
It deserves to float in the sky. And we have a mount for it to be floating.

50
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,320
And that is the base for it. Oh boy. Okay, Reese, do you want to get started on that?

51
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,280
Wish me luck. I will. Luck. But that's not the only computer today.

52
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:26,560
No, we are building my partner a new computer. She's been stuck with my old 7700K system.

53
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,400
And it's time for her to get something a little more up to date, not fully up to date, but.

54
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,920
I mean, it's a 7900 XT. Well, yeah, the graphics card is good.

55
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:41,360
Why don't I get to work on her machine? Great. In the meantime, I'm going to go help Reese, but I want to give you a sneak preview of the extra piece for the Borg PC.

56
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,960
No way. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You just wait to see it.

57
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,920
Okay, that's pretty cool. Man, when you got to hand me down SOPC from David, it doesn't seem that bad.

58
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,600
3900 X, 32 gigs of RAM.

59
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,760
To mount the Borg QPC and make it sort of look like it's floating, we have this piece of metal that we've cut and welded back together.

60
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,200
It'll drill into studs and then we have built a custom mount

61
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,320
for the PC to mount on top and then sort of kind of stick out.

62
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,480
It's not perfect and this color is an exact match for the wall, but I'm going to paint the wall a galaxy color editor.

63
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Put up a galaxy. That's what it's going to look like.

64
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,240
And we're going to paint on top of this and make it all kind of more cohesive and invisible.

65
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,480
You know, Sam is not a brand that we look at very often on this channel,

66
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:38,160
but I got to say, I'm pretty impressed with the value. 80 US dollars for curved glass and four of these fans were already included.

67
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,040
It's a pretty nice value. A less impressive package is this motherboard.

68
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,640
David, for all of his wonderful qualities, is not always the most organized.

69
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:55,200
And while I did manage to track down the back plate, I don't have the screws or the brackets for the front, which unfortunately, I do need.

70
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,240
Thankfully, I have the capability of channeling my own inner David.

71
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,760
And I'm going to steal the screws that he apparently didn't need for his new ring.

72
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,200
The upgrade today is not going to be complete. There's still lots of little projects that are ongoing.

73
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,440
I started doing these comic book tabletops. I'm going to do the same thing on the other side.

74
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,160
I have a bunch of Star Trek comic books, and I'm going to do a collage of all the Star Trek things that I love.

75
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,400
And I'm going to do a movie one for the console in the middle. Didn't get done in time.

76
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,040
And this one isn't even finished, but it gives you an idea of what it will be like in the future.

77
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Oh, sorry. I've leaned down here to do a shot to figure out what I'm going to do about Justin,

78
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,960
not including the AMD standoffs. It looks like these LGA 1700 ones will work in a pinch.

79
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,360
It'll just be a little bit tight. And then I saw what David did to the poor SSD that's in this M.2 slot.

80
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,760
There's going to be a lot of improvisation today, guys, because while the height of the 1700s is okay, they don't fit over these posts.

81
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,040
So I'm going to have to drill them out. I don't know.

82
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Damn, I've got to fix that SSD. BRB. Not going to lie, David, between you and Justin,

83
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,440
that computer is going to be the death of me. Uh-oh. What's the odds you have a vice?

84
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Uh, zero. Okay, I'll hold it by hand. What are the odds you have a drill and a bit that's a little bigger than this?

85
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,680
Well, pretty good, actually. All right, let's do it. What could go wrong?

86
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,520
Ow. Ow.

87
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,440
Oh, if I spin it backwards, and I can just kind of melt it in there.

88
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,520
Oh, dude, buddy. Oh, that's sick.

89
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,760
They almost contact the standoffs, almost, which is exactly what we want.

90
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,200
We want a little bit of kind of spring pressure on these.

91
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,560
Oh, yeah. Dude, we're good.

92
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
What a relief. I'm very curious if you can figure out what this is for.

93
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,760
It's a door. Yeah, but it's not. It's a climbing wall for a really, really small person.

94
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,880
A hint? It's in that bin.

95
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Oh, controller wall. Magnetic controller wall.

96
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,440
No. Uh-oh.

97
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,760
The idea is that this is going to cover that breaker panel, but I still need to access it.

98
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,280
And so it's going to be on a barn door, so it can slide in and out of the way.

99
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,880
Eventually it'll be painted black to match the rest of the wall. The vision's great.

100
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,720
Execution by ABC Blocks.

101
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Because do you want to cut all these blocks?

102
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,280
This is the easiest, cheapest way to get a bunch of little blocks that are identical.

103
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,160
David, question for you. Yeah. How essential would you say front USB is?

104
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,880
For my partner, quite essential, because that's what she knows to plug into.

105
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Okay. How essential would you say these fans are?

106
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Absolutely not. Cool. Because, well, I think you see the problem.

107
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Yeah, that's not what I thought. Now, what I didn't tell David is I do have another idea.

108
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
This housing on this thing is huge.

109
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,040
I think it could be trimmed. What am I thinking?

110
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,720
This is really stupid. Are we going to get it?

111
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,880
It's really tight.

112
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,120
I think we're going to get it. Don't take this the wrong way, but the whole spending your own money thing,

113
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,960
I wasn't expecting to find ARGB cables. They were really cheap.

114
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,240
To find really cheap. 40 bucks? Each?

115
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,840
Yeah. Oh, that's Canadian.

116
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,080
Oh, okay. That's actually not bad. It was like 37 something each.

117
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,360
So if they work, then... I mean, they look like they should work.

118
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,400
Honestly, the space is, okay, it's still rough, but it's starting to look like I can see what you were going for.

119
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,480
It's the vision. Yeah, which is something.

120
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,240
There's still a lot of somethings left though. What's up with that cable management line?

121
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, this side looks pretty good.

122
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,480
That looks amazing. Okay, but there's a lot of finishing touches that still need to go in.

123
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,800
Like there's one motherboard screw in. I just need to see it post before I do everything.

124
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,360
I have very little confidence that this is just going to immediately fire up.

125
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,280
I have high confidence, not only in your ability to do amazing PC work,

126
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,800
but the fact that this was a PC that was working yesterday.

127
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,080
Well, that's going to make me feel even worse when it doesn't fire up. Thanks, David.

128
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:18,800
Okay, neat.

129
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,200
Okay, all the RGB works. That looks good. I was not sure if that was going to happen.

130
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,160
And I'm not getting an output. Oh, well.

131
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,040
Many batteries. Oh, it might need to be plugged in.

132
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,200
Computer output.

133
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Let's try again with a thing. Yeah, maybe just kind of.

134
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Oh, it might be giving us a no keyboard error. Do you have a keyboard? Yes.

135
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,240
I've got a new keyboard for this video. Oh, oh, nice.

136
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Nice. Okay. David isn't even back yet, but we already know that that was the problem.

137
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:09,520
Everything's detected, even the bent SSD. So I think I'm good to button everything up and close this out.

138
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Oh, it's actually ended up looking kind of cool. Don't tell anybody I said that.

139
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Is there going to be something like here? Oh, God.

140
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200
The table will be here. They will basically makes it two here.

141
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,120
David to his parents. Can we get Linus to drop things? No, we have Linus at home.

142
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,800
I think I've dropped more stuff in recent videos than you have.

143
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Oh, wait. How did you attach them?

144
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,920
Hot glue? What else? Steven. What else would you use?

145
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:47,280
Epoxy. Yeah, but then I could never get it off. I want to basically 3D scan and like print something

146
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,680
that's going to fit better and be flat, because none of these are flat. So none of them stays super, super well.

147
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,880
So this is a temporary solution.

148
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,480
Okay, we should just put a crash pad under the door then. I'm a man of vision.

149
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,200
This isn't a acrylic mount, hey? Yeah. Is that a good idea?

150
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,120
I don't know. I had Justin make it.

151
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Cool. Okay, where does it go? Onto this.

152
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,640
So we're just this? Yeah. No, no, she's close.

153
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,240
She's close. She's real close. Yeah, yeah, she's going to go. She's going to go. She'll catch.

154
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,520
Okay. Wait. Oh yeah. This has got a PC in it. The thing about PCs is the weight distribution?

155
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Not even. So she wants to go this way, which I mean,

156
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,160
how are you planning to hold the heads of these bolts while you screw in the nuts?

157
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Watch me.

158
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,840
You're going the wrong way. You're trying to take it off? Okay.

159
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Oh, God. Oh, gosh.

160
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,560
I mean, I don't want to tighten it too much. It's acrylic, but I don't want to tighten it too little

161
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,120
because it's a computer. Look at the flex.

162
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,080
Can you see the flex in this, Andrew? Okay, stop, stop, stop.

163
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,560
I haven't heard any acrylic cracking, so that's good.

164
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,560
Okay. Giant crash pad. There'll be a desk right here.

165
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,760
It's going to be, it's going to be low. Okay.

166
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,840
So the thing that I'm most excited about in this entire upgrade,

167
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,560
is this incredible work that Justin did on this Starship Enterprise model.

168
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,480
Look at this thing. That looks awesome.

169
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,480
Custom paint job. He did like battle damage. I didn't know he was into that stuff.

170
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Oh, he wants you to know that he's into this stuff. He likes this stuff. I want to see like Plouffe versus Justin like,

171
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,840
like battle, battle damage to armor paint off now.

172
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,040
You seen some of Plouffe's stuff too? Oh, it's so good. This is crazy.

173
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,400
This looks incredible. Oh, buddy.

174
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,600
Oh, that is so cool. So this is like, I guess.

175
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,720
So here's the part you're not going to like.

176
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,280
We're going to epoxy it stand.

177
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,080
Oh God, it's adding even more weight to this side.

178
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,080
David. Wait, okay. I'm going to pitch him.

179
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,800
I'm going to pitch him something else. Okay.

180
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,400
We're going to, we're going to try and convince David to let us have it come off the shelf.

181
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,360
We could even do it in the top surface. So you wouldn't even see it.

182
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,200
David, we're not letting you do it. What are you going to do?

183
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,800
We're going to drill a hole in the top of this shelf. Sure. That's fine.

184
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,520
Oh, okay. I'm easy. Okay.

185
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,920
One drill, please. Should we glue it into the enterprise first?

186
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,480
Absolutely. Hold on. Don't pinch just yet then, because I want to check the angle for this.

187
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,400
So we were thinking kind of like that, right? Yeah. Okay.

188
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,600
So with that in mind, it's time to pinch.

189
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,480
And now we play the weighting game.

190
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Forest theater setup. David's using kind of a mishmash of older speakers.

191
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,680
So we just need to take a quick look and see what the rated impedance of these is.

192
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,240
So we can tell his receiver how hard to drive them.

193
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,320
Unfortunately, they don't seem to say.

194
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,160
Wait, we could save ourselves some trouble. Do you have a multimeter? I don't have a multimeter.

195
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,680
I have a voltage chest. I don't know if it does anymore. I don't think it does.

196
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Yeah, that's not going to do that. No multimeter, huh? Because then we could just find out the impedance.

197
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,280
It's probably six ohms. So what happens if it's not?

198
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,680
Does it just blow up? It's a big time. One way is much more worse than the other way,

199
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,720
and I forget right now. Do you want to find out? Yeah, I'll find out.

200
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,240
No, by doing, I'm saying. But there's only one way to find out. Oh, I mean, yeah.

201
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,600
How married are you to these speakers? They're old hand-me-downs from 15 years ago.

202
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Okay, well, we're going to go for gold then.

203
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Six ohms or higher? I think it's going to be fine. Okay, what about the rears?

204
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,960
Those are probably labeled, right? They, I think they have at least names.

205
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,880
What? Yeah, just know. I mean, we promised people this was going to be

206
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,680
a more frugal, practical tech upgrade. The speakers, they at least have names.

207
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,800
You know, yeah, that's, that's the bar.

208
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,840
There we go. Oh, hey, DM 100. That's right. We don't have a multimeter, but we've got a model number.

209
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,680
We got a multireader. He can read letters and numbers. It's crazy.

210
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,560
These are eight ohms. Okay. So that means it's six or higher, right?

211
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,440
The six or higher setting will be fine for these then. These are the real tech tips though, you know,

212
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,040
hacking together, whatever it is that you've got lying around and doing it in a way that's safe and doesn't blow anything up.

213
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,800
Probably a little bit of blown up. Okay, so we're safe to continue with the receiver setup wizard.

214
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,280
I'm not getting any test tones. Are you guys sure you hooked all this stuff up, right?

215
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Nope. Yes. What did you do, David?

216
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,040
No, no, that's, that's fine for now. What did you do?

217
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,560
I haven't done anything yet. All I did was move these connections

218
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,160
from the bottom to the top, which shouldn't matter. That's all I did.

219
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,920
Oh, Reese, when were you going to mention

220
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,000
you haven't plugged those in yet? What do you, what do you mean? I mean, I'm sitting here going a little,

221
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,440
the front's working, but the surround's not. Clearly says they're not. Yeah, okay.

222
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,240
Well, now you know.

223
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Okay, get the best surround by using the attached microphone. Yes, I'd like to calibrate now.

224
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Before I do that though, I was thinking maybe we revisit this.

225
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,280
Let's do it. And we were thinking here.

226
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,840
Yeah. What's a, what drill bitch do we need?

227
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,240
Who's called a drill bitch?

228
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Go get the drill. You are the drill bitch now.

229
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Yeah, buddy.

230
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,240
Okay. I think that's good. Here we go. You guys ready?

231
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,600
I think we should epoxy it. Moment of truth. Oh, buddy.

232
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:53,600
Let's go.

233
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,080
That's so cool.

234
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:03,600
Okay. Oh man, we actually got, we nailed the angle on the epoxy thing.

235
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,280
You see that as soon as I stuck it in there, it didn't move at all. So we've actually got the weight

236
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,480
kind of distributed correctly.

237
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,400
And then we can, well, we can, I've got some black zip ties upstairs.

238
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,680
I'll bring them. And then we can use those to anchor to the,

239
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,960
to the pole here. I'll be right back. Okay. Okay.

240
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,080
It was worth it. It was worth it, David. I agree.

241
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Are we ever going to like maybe show your SO, her like new computer?

242
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Yeah. Is she here right now? She's here right now. All right. It's not done done.

243
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,800
There's more stuff to add, but. Okay.

244
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,240
It's so pretty. It's rainbows.

245
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,920
I don't know what any of those things do, but I love them. No, I love it.

246
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,880
You did a good job. Thank you. Yay.

247
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,280
We wanted to play some retro games because like, you know,

248
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,040
David was going to like emulate retro games because, you know,

249
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,920
he had to get rid of all of his consoles to pay for the space.

250
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,240
But apparently all of his Linux ISOs

251
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,920
were on a Rateray that died. You don't have a single retro game?

252
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,760
Not currently. Well, wait, what did? Okay. Well, you kept a couple consoles.

253
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Yeah. Okay. Well, then we can play a game. Well, then we don't have the filters.

254
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,640
Yeah. I don't have a retro and 4k. I only have the 5x.

255
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,240
I don't have anything, guys. I don't have anything. Nothing.

256
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,280
I got nothing. Well, I mean, it's still a cool setup, but we have to.

257
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,800
Yeah, though. We have to play a pixel game. What filters do you like?

258
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,240
It depends on the screen. I like the scale 2x ones.

259
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,320
Usually there's like a scale 3x or 4x.

260
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:40,960
HQ2x actually is one of the ones I like. Really? Yeah, I know.

261
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,240
Well, I thought you were some kind of purist.

262
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,600
That looks terrible. I love CRTs because they make things smooth,

263
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,280
so I got an O that and it's smooth.

264
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,960
Oh, man. David, you just lost all your retro gaming street cred

265
00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:00,320
in one move. No. Joe would be lame is if I bought into what other people

266
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,840
thought looked good. I have my opinion, my perspective,

267
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,960
and I'd bring that to everything I do, including the filters I choose.

268
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:17,280
You know, this might not be as big of a collection anymore, but when you think about the quality per game

269
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,280
that we're looking at here now, I like it better. It seems more focused.

270
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,400
This is a sick collection. I gotta say, this is looking mighty fine in here.

271
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,480
It's not perfect. As per usual, my vision is huge.

272
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,400
My execution is OK, but with the help of my friends, I think we did a pretty amazing job.

273
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,600
So if you guys are all paid friends to me, then what am I to you?

274
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,360
You know what? I think the people can see where you're going with this.

275
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:49,920
All it needs is what? Like an area rug or two, a little couch, a little spit shine.

276
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,440
This is sick, dude. Are you going to miss the fidelity of the original consoles, though?

277
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,840
It's going to take me a little while to adjust. I can tell that the input linsee was off

278
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,520
and it didn't feel quite right to me, but I think it's something I can get used to

279
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,160
and it's something that I can adjust and research and tweak.

280
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,160
And I'm very excited for the emulation of later consoles as well,

281
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,080
you know, like PS2, PS3. This is about where we had the mic, hey, David?

282
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,600
Yeah. OK, here we go.

283
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,160
I'm so excited. I haven't had a good home theater setup.

284
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,480
You know what? Maybe ever. Not this good for sure.

285
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,280
This, if you're going for full immersiveness,

286
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,680
is a great size for this space. For movies, this isn't too big.

287
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,440
Yeah. I'm a little anxious for games, but I don't think it'll be too bad.

288
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,480
Well, there's always that one there. Exactly. Choices.

289
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,160
You know, we did this video recently, so I don't really need to talk about it a ton,

290
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,200
but a cobbled together, random-ass Facebook marketplace speaker setup

291
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,240
is so vastly superior to an entry level or even a mid-range soundbar

292
00:21:54,240 --> 00:22:00,960
that that's just what everybody should be doing. If you're in the know and you don't mind fapping about with inputs,

293
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,720
this crushes what like any soundbar you would have bought for this price.

294
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,320
Crushes it. I don't know, man. I think you might have nailed it.

295
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:15,840
Hopefully you guys enjoyed the transformation almost as much as David did,

296
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,120
