I'm sure all of you have seen the balls to thewall 8K gaming setup that we
created just a few months ago and I'm also sure that you thought there was no
way that we could Michael Bay that well
you you were wrong very very very very
very very very very very very very very very very very very wrong meet the 16k
gaming desk that we'll be building over the course of this video 132
m710 400 pixels of
pureing
awesome EK water blocks is all aluminum
fluid gaming lineup offers great water cooling performance for an affordable
price learn more at the link in the video description ion so in theory 16k gaming is an insane
idea but in practice well it's even more
insane than it is in theory the original
concept was actually to mount everything
by straight up buying 16 monitor wall
arms off the shelf bolting some plywood to the wehouse wall and just raw dogging
it but I think we all know how that would have ended up conveniently Jake
has been on a seemingly unending desk PC
bender and forwarded me some info about
yet another Enthusiast desk PC that even
puts the lean Le dk4 to shame the I
table it's massive modular 3D print
customizable and not to mention it is stuffed with gamery beauty but with 16
of Acer's 4K IPS gsync gaming monitors
in the mail we had to act fast so Jake
shot an email over to the guys at IC table like yo dog so uh is there a model
of the IC table that could be used with a 4x4 grid of monitors and they were
like no that's insane fam we're in and
after about 80 emails back and forth we were ready to move forward not only did
the renders of the project look jaw-dropping but the IC table guys being
familiar with our content offered to personally Drive the massive custom desk
all the way up from Los Angeles to Vancouver and assemble it for us in our
studio presumably to keep it from being dropped you can get the $100 silent
Edition that's all right it's the only one we own now typically the IC table
comes in a lot more pieces than we received but to save on time the
Siberian cyber guys did some pre-assembly and saving on time was
important because as you can imagine mounting and aligning 16 monitors takes
just a little bit of time but I'll come
back to that later so we started off with the two large legs of the desk that
each contain a modular drawer that houses a computer
cooling storage or really anything you want we went with a computer on the left
and uh actually not much on the other
side we just sort of stuffed cables in there moving on the bottom cable routing
tray got screwed in followed by the upper one then things started to get
really exciting they whipped out the king of the net or ton as they call it
for short this is their modular system
cage kind of like the skeleton of a
typical case and it can hold up to an eatx board quad dual slot gpus multiple
ssds the wakes so on our first attempt
we equipped it with an ASUS maximum 8 extreme assembly with a
7700k but we actually ended up running into PCI Express Lane limitations so we
brought out the big guns a rampage 5
Edition 10 with a 6900k 32 gigs of
Corsair lpx ddr4 memory an Noctua nhd15
and the most important part of this build the four Quadro p5000 graphics
cards graciously provided by NVIDIA coupled with their Quadro sync two card
this is the secret sauce that will enable us to use all of these monitors
as a single screen with a technology that in media calls Mosaic powering all
of this is Corsair's Behemoth
ax1500i with stock cables for now except
for a single PCIe power that definitely
didn't ship separately because Jake screwed up our cable mod order anyway
with our system built twice it's time to
focus on the monitors step one affix the
four cross beams that will each hold
four far screens the IC table guys
actually repurposed some flatmount TV
wall brackets on the back of the desk for structural support and to help us
route the 32 cables necessary for all of
the panels but before we can even get to cabling we need to unbox and mount some
monitors each 27in 4K gaming display
gets its own Super beefy 3axis vase ARM
that can also tilt and rotate each of
them must have weigh about 5 lb but I
guess I shouldn't be complaining about solid build
quality this was no doubt the longest
part of the process but we finally managed to get all of them mounted
before the end of the day and finished off by sliding the ton into its drawer
we can mostly ignore the fact that most of the monitors needed to be taken off
one by one to align the mounts the IC
table guys I got to give them props they assure me they've never built a desk on
this scale before but the straight Precision made it seem like they've done
it a thousand times time to power it on now then
right uh well it was about that time
that we realized that several of our displays
were locked to 1024x 768 resolution a
far cry from 4K and some of them weren't
lighting up at all well our generic 25-
ft DisplayPort cables seem to be the culprit and until new ones arrive we are
stuck at a dead end so here is where the
project stands literally stands like 10
ft tall so stay tuned for our final tour
of the finished setup after what hopefully won't be a month of
troubleshooting in part
two Ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer service and customer
satisfaction when you have your phone planned through Ting if you call Ting
you will not speak to a robot or an automated phone tree you will get put
through directly to a person and somehow
they manage to achieve this level of customer service without bloated cell
phone plans that charge their customers a whole bunch of money because the
average Ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device so why not find out if
you'd save money on Ting by going to lin.com and trying out their savings
calculator you enter your last few bills and how much you pay for your current
service and it spits out whether you'd save money on Ting and if you decide to
switch Ting will actually cover 25% of your contract cancellation fee up to
$75 so take advant entage of their lower data rates than ever by signing up over
at Linus doing.com and when you use our link you'll get 25 bucks in service
