WEBVTT

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.

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.

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.

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,

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.360
meaning the tech tips are going to be a bit more practical, and also high stakes,

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.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.200
So, I think it's time to roll up our sleeves and, uh, stretch some dollars.

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:57.600
Like, I'm stretching out this segue. To our sponsor.

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.

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.400
Yeah, my partner's been working really hard on getting this space set up.

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.240
Priority was getting the book nooks sorted, and it's awesome.

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:24.320
This is incredible! Yeah, we're very, very lucky.

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.

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:31.520
This is a very valuable collection of books. They're all, like, special edition.

00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.280
Oh, really? Looks like I think this one's, like, 600 bucks or something.

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.

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.440
Oh, wow. Uh, part three of this video line is clearing out her collection.

00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:53.440
TV corner looks great, too, other than, oh, I was gonna say, TV too high, but.

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.

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.

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:05.360
Let me see the top. Cool.

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.000
My only question is, what are you going to do here?

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.080
I can see the bones of some pretty interesting ideas.

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.

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.

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:29.120
It was the best value OLED I could find, so per pixel dimming,

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.880
great blacks, great motion clarity for gaming, both retro and new stuff.

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.

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,

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.240
which means I can use this receiver that has two HDMI 2.1 outs

00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.440
for the two TVs that are going to be in here. Two TVs.

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:55.600
One's a monitor. It's a monitor, not a TV. Oh man, okay, okay, okay.

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.

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:02.880
Are you stuck behind the TV, David? Nope. You sure? I can crouch.

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.

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.

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,

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:21.280
and what he's doing here. She likes the ideas.

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.280
She won't like the executions.

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.

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.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.600
This looks sick, though. Yeah, this is from one of our streams.

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.

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.400
So I had Justin paint it to a dark gray black.

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.200
And now you've got a black Borg cube PC.

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:57.360
Oh, it's so sick. And this is like top of the freaking line, dude.

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?

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:06.720
A PC this beautiful doesn't deserve to rest on a desk.

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.

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?

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.280
Wish me luck. I will. Luck. But that's not the only computer today.

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.

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.

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:33.920
I mean, it's a 7900 XT. Well, yeah, the graphics card is good.

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.

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.960
No way. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You just wait to see it.

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.

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.600
3900 X, 32 gigs of RAM.

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.

00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:07.200
It'll drill into studs and then we have built a custom mount

00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:10.320
for the PC to mount on top and then sort of kind of stick out.

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.

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:19.920
Put up a galaxy. That's what it's going to look like.

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.

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:28.480
You know, Sam is not a brand that we look at very often on this channel,

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.

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:43.040
It's a pretty nice value. A less impressive package is this motherboard.

00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.640
David, for all of his wonderful qualities, is not always the most organized.

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.

00:05:55.200 --> 00:06:00.240
Thankfully, I have the capability of channeling my own inner David.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

00:06:55.760 --> 00:06:59.040
So I'm going to have to drill them out. I don't know.

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,

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?

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?

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:17.680
Well, pretty good, actually. All right, let's do it. What could go wrong?

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.520
Ow. Ow.

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:25.440
Oh, if I spin it backwards, and I can just kind of melt it in there.

00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:29.520
Oh, dude, buddy. Oh, that's sick.

00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.760
They almost contact the standoffs, almost, which is exactly what we want.

00:07:35.760 --> 00:07:39.200
We want a little bit of kind of spring pressure on these.

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:42.560
Oh, yeah. Dude, we're good.

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.000
What a relief. I'm very curious if you can figure out what this is for.

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.

00:07:53.760 --> 00:07:54.880
A hint? It's in that bin.

00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:02.240
Oh, controller wall. Magnetic controller wall.

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.440
No. Uh-oh.

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.

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.

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.

00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:20.720
Execution by ABC Blocks.

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.800
Because do you want to cut all these blocks?

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.280
This is the easiest, cheapest way to get a bunch of little blocks that are identical.

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.160
David, question for you. Yeah. How essential would you say front USB is?

00:08:32.160 --> 00:08:34.880
For my partner, quite essential, because that's what she knows to plug into.

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.920
Okay. How essential would you say these fans are?

00:08:39.920 --> 00:08:45.600
Absolutely not. Cool. Because, well, I think you see the problem.

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.

00:08:50.800 --> 00:08:53.920
This housing on this thing is huge.

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.040
I think it could be trimmed. What am I thinking?

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:02.720
This is really stupid. Are we going to get it?

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:04.880
It's really tight.

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,

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.960
I wasn't expecting to find ARGB cables. They were really cheap.

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.240
To find really cheap. 40 bucks? Each?

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.840
Yeah. Oh, that's Canadian.

00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.080
Oh, okay. That's actually not bad. It was like 37 something each.

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.360
So if they work, then... I mean, they look like they should work.

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.

00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:40.480
It's the vision. Yeah, which is something.

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?

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, this side looks pretty good.

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.

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.

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.360
I have very little confidence that this is just going to immediately fire up.

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.280
I have high confidence, not only in your ability to do amazing PC work,

00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:12.800
but the fact that this was a PC that was working yesterday.

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.

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:18.800
Okay, neat.

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.

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.160
And I'm not getting an output. Oh, well.

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.040
Many batteries. Oh, it might need to be plugged in.

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.200
Computer output.

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.360
Let's try again with a thing. Yeah, maybe just kind of.

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.720
Oh, it might be giving us a no keyboard error. Do you have a keyboard? Yes.

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.240
I've got a new keyboard for this video. Oh, oh, nice.

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.

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.

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.

00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:17.520
Is there going to be something like here? Oh, God.

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.200
The table will be here. They will basically makes it two here.

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.

00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:30.800
I think I've dropped more stuff in recent videos than you have.

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.040
Oh, wait. How did you attach them?

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.920
Hot glue? What else? Steven. What else would you use?

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

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.

00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:54.880
So this is a temporary solution.

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.

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:07.200
This isn't a acrylic mount, hey? Yeah. Is that a good idea?

00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.120
I don't know. I had Justin make it.

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.240
Cool. Okay, where does it go? Onto this.

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.640
So we're just this? Yeah. No, no, she's close.

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.

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?

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.480
Not even. So she wants to go this way, which I mean,

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?

00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:38.640
Watch me.

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.840
You're going the wrong way. You're trying to take it off? Okay.

00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:48.160
Oh, God. Oh, gosh.

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

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:55.120
because it's a computer. Look at the flex.

00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.080
Can you see the flex in this, Andrew? Okay, stop, stop, stop.

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:04.560
I haven't heard any acrylic cracking, so that's good.

00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:10.560
Okay. Giant crash pad. There'll be a desk right here.

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:13.760
It's going to be, it's going to be low. Okay.

00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:17.840
So the thing that I'm most excited about in this entire upgrade,

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.560
is this incredible work that Justin did on this Starship Enterprise model.

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.480
Look at this thing. That looks awesome.

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.

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,

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.840
like battle, battle damage to armor paint off now.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.040
You seen some of Plouffe's stuff too? Oh, it's so good. This is crazy.

00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:48.400
This looks incredible. Oh, buddy.

00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:53.600
Oh, that is so cool. So this is like, I guess.

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:54.720
So here's the part you're not going to like.

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.280
We're going to epoxy it stand.

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.080
Oh God, it's adding even more weight to this side.

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.080
David. Wait, okay. I'm going to pitch him.

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.800
I'm going to pitch him something else. Okay.

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.

00:14:20.400 --> 00:14:23.360
We could even do it in the top surface. So you wouldn't even see it.

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.200
David, we're not letting you do it. What are you going to do?

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.

00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:33.520
Oh, okay. I'm easy. Okay.

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.920
One drill, please. Should we glue it into the enterprise first?

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.

00:14:43.280 --> 00:14:46.400
So we were thinking kind of like that, right? Yeah. Okay.

00:14:46.400 --> 00:14:49.600
So with that in mind, it's time to pinch.

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.480
And now we play the weighting game.

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.120
Forest theater setup. David's using kind of a mishmash of older speakers.

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.

00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:04.240
So we can tell his receiver how hard to drive them.

00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:08.320
Unfortunately, they don't seem to say.

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.

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.

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.

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.280
It's probably six ohms. So what happens if it's not?

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,

00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:32.720
and I forget right now. Do you want to find out? Yeah, I'll find out.

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.

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.

00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:43.920
Okay, well, we're going to go for gold then.

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?

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.960
Those are probably labeled, right? They, I think they have at least names.

00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:00.880
What? Yeah, just know. I mean, we promised people this was going to be

00:16:00.880 --> 00:16:05.680
a more frugal, practical tech upgrade. The speakers, they at least have names.

00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:08.800
You know, yeah, that's, that's the bar.

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.

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.680
We got a multireader. He can read letters and numbers. It's crazy.

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.560
These are eight ohms. Okay. So that means it's six or higher, right?

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,

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.

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.

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?

00:16:45.280 --> 00:16:48.720
Nope. Yes. What did you do, David?

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.040
No, no, that's, that's fine for now. What did you do?

00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:56.560
I haven't done anything yet. All I did was move these connections

00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:00.160
from the bottom to the top, which shouldn't matter. That's all I did.

00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:03.920
Oh, Reese, when were you going to mention

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,

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.440
the front's working, but the surround's not. Clearly says they're not. Yeah, okay.

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.240
Well, now you know.

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.

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.000
Before I do that though, I was thinking maybe we revisit this.

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.280
Let's do it. And we were thinking here.

00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:31.840
Yeah. What's a, what drill bitch do we need?

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.240
Who's called a drill bitch?

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.840
Go get the drill. You are the drill bitch now.

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.600
Yeah, buddy.

00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:48.240
Okay. I think that's good. Here we go. You guys ready?

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.600
I think we should epoxy it. Moment of truth. Oh, buddy.

00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:53.600
Let's go.

00:17:56.320 --> 00:17:58.080
That's so cool.

00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:03.600
Okay. Oh man, we actually got, we nailed the angle on the epoxy thing.

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

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.480
kind of distributed correctly.

00:18:11.040 --> 00:18:14.400
And then we can, well, we can, I've got some black zip ties upstairs.

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.680
I'll bring them. And then we can use those to anchor to the,

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.960
to the pole here. I'll be right back. Okay. Okay.

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.080
It was worth it. It was worth it, David. I agree.

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.720
Are we ever going to like maybe show your SO, her like new computer?

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.

00:18:32.560 --> 00:18:34.800
There's more stuff to add, but. Okay.

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:42.240
It's so pretty. It's rainbows.

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.

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.880
You did a good job. Thank you. Yay.

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.280
We wanted to play some retro games because like, you know,

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.040
David was going to like emulate retro games because, you know,

00:18:57.040 --> 00:18:59.920
he had to get rid of all of his consoles to pay for the space.

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.240
But apparently all of his Linux ISOs

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.920
were on a Rateray that died. You don't have a single retro game?

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.760
Not currently. Well, wait, what did? Okay. Well, you kept a couple consoles.

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.

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.640
Yeah. I don't have a retro and 4k. I only have the 5x.

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:24.240
I don't have anything, guys. I don't have anything. Nothing.

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.280
I got nothing. Well, I mean, it's still a cool setup, but we have to.

00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:30.800
Yeah, though. We have to play a pixel game. What filters do you like?

00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:34.240
It depends on the screen. I like the scale 2x ones.

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.320
Usually there's like a scale 3x or 4x.

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:40.960
HQ2x actually is one of the ones I like. Really? Yeah, I know.

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.240
Well, I thought you were some kind of purist.

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.600
That looks terrible. I love CRTs because they make things smooth,

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:49.280
so I got an O that and it's smooth.

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:54.960
Oh, man. David, you just lost all your retro gaming street cred

00:19:54.960 --> 00:20:00.320
in one move. No. Joe would be lame is if I bought into what other people

00:20:00.320 --> 00:20:03.840
thought looked good. I have my opinion, my perspective,

00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:06.960
and I'd bring that to everything I do, including the filters I choose.

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

00:20:17.280 --> 00:20:21.280
that we're looking at here now, I like it better. It seems more focused.

00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:26.400
This is a sick collection. I gotta say, this is looking mighty fine in here.

00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.480
It's not perfect. As per usual, my vision is huge.

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.

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.600
So if you guys are all paid friends to me, then what am I to you?

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.360
You know what? I think the people can see where you're going with this.

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.

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:55.440
This is sick, dude. Are you going to miss the fidelity of the original consoles, though?

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

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

00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:06.160
and it's something that I can adjust and research and tweak.

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.160
And I'm very excited for the emulation of later consoles as well,

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.080
you know, like PS2, PS3. This is about where we had the mic, hey, David?

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:15.600
Yeah. OK, here we go.

00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:20.160
I'm so excited. I haven't had a good home theater setup.

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.480
You know what? Maybe ever. Not this good for sure.

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.280
This, if you're going for full immersiveness,

00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.680
is a great size for this space. For movies, this isn't too big.

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.

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.480
Well, there's always that one there. Exactly. Choices.

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,

00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:49.200
but a cobbled together, random-ass Facebook marketplace speaker setup

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:54.240
is so vastly superior to an entry level or even a mid-range soundbar

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,

00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:06.720
this crushes what like any soundbar you would have bought for this price.

00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:10.320
Crushes it. I don't know, man. I think you might have nailed it.

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:15.840
Hopefully you guys enjoyed the transformation almost as much as David did,

00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:19.120
and hopefully you'll enjoy this segue to our sponsor.

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:25.600
If you guys enjoyed this video and you like the Linus and David energy, why not check out his Intel Extreme Tech upgrade?

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:29.360
It was maybe more chaotic.

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:32.640
A different kind of chaos, yeah. David was at a different stage in his life.

00:22:33.520 --> 00:22:36.640
Now he's a mature teenager.
