00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
Normally, we don't do a dedicated video to announce the winners of our

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,320
giveaways. And today is no exception.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:13,920
Because while this video will include the winners of our million subscriber

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,680
giveaway, it will also include a special announcement that kind of goes along

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,560
with that whole, you know, wow, we're growing a lot theme. It's recruitment

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:28,720
time at Lionus Media Group. We need at least one full-time person for the

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:33,680
glamorous position of benchmarking and script writing monkey. So stay tuned to

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,480
see some behind the scenes of building the winner's custom gaming rig here and

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:42,239
the details of the job offer. And if you're not already subscribed, get on

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,600
that because we're going to have a video of the PowerUp 3.0, a smartphone

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,480
controlled Bluetooth paper airplane coming very soon.

12
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:03,359
Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature precision Cherry MXR RGB key switches

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:08,080
for 16.8 million color per key backlighting for virtually unlimited

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:13,360
customization. Click now to learn more. So, the winners of the gaming laptop and

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,280
the Surface Pro 3 were Anto Wayne B and

16
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,840
Fediger. Anyway, they've already got their prizes, but the winner of the

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:25,200
custom PC never got back to us. So, we redrew and

18
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:28,400
Terminator is the big winner this time.

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,960
To go along with our Core i7 4770K CPU,

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:36,479
we've got a Define R4 white case with a Newton, 1000watt matching white power

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,960
supply from Fractal, an H90 CPU cooler,

22
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:47,360
16 gigs of Vengeance Pro DDR3 RAM, and a 480 gig Neutron GTX SSD from Corsair, a

23
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:51,759
Z97X UD5H and painted R9290 graphics

24
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:55,520
card from Gigabyte. and a badass Myar

25
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,960
mouse and Nova touch TKL Toer keyboard

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,280
from Cooler Master CM Storm as it were.

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,200
So huge thanks to Josh from Fractal Design, Rick from Corsair, Leo from

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,759
Gigabyte, and Raj from Cooler Master for the sweet components that the winner is

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,920
going to get in their build. Now, this rig really started with the paint job,

30
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,959
and I had a lot of fun with this. So, we removed the window, masked out the key

31
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,319
areas where you don't want to get any paint, like the front USB ports, and

32
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,360
then I thoughtfully applied paint in the

33
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:28,000
most artful, tasteful way, you know, the

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,319
way a true artist would. And then, you know, I thought, well, how about some

35
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,959
black? And then, uh, maybe some, you know, green and then maybe some more

36
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:41,120
green. And then when I was done applying it artfully and then I kind of went to

37
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,519
town the way that Lionus would. And the end result is what you're looking at

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,280
right now. now and it's pretty polarizing. Some people in the office

39
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:50,959
hate it and others in the office are like, "Yeah, it looks pretty cool." But

40
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,879
the the people who said that are pretty new here and I think maybe they were

41
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,800
just sucking up. Now, I promised to build the winner's PC personally. So, to

42
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,640
prove that I actually did it. We set up a time-lapse camera and I did just that.

43
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,959
Nothing too complicated happened here other than me forgetting to install the

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,239
rear fan as exhaust and having to redo that. And then also the bit where I

45
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:15,200
discovered that the CPU cooler, which has actually been sitting on a shelf for

46
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,440
almost two years now, I think over a year for sure, was missing a piece of

47
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,440
mounting hardware that someone must have taken from it for another cooler at some

48
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,040
point or something. In fact, we were even so organized. There's a label on it

49
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,760
that says there's a piece missing, but I didn't see that before I started. So

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,159
then we had to go steal a piece from another one, and then it's going to cause a problem in the future. Anyway,

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,400
that's that's how it is at Linus Media Group. Once the build was done, I had

52
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:43,760
everyone from the team here sign the side window except Taran because he's on

53
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,239
the injury reserve right now. Which

54
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,959
leads us to the second and perhaps even more important part of this video. Pay

55
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,599
very close attention to this information if you are interested in a job here at

56
00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:00,799
Linus Media Group. So, the job is to work daily with Lionus, Luke, and the

57
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:05,120
rest of the LMG crew to benchmark and analyze the latest PC hardware and

58
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,640
really anything else that falls into our Labs. You are to write notes and scripts

59
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,319
for Linus Tech Tips episodes and fastest possible episodes. Work on, you know,

60
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:18,320
reviewing the hardware behind the scenes. You have to understand it is not

61
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:21,840
going to be glamorous. It's going to be really hard work. It won't pay a lot,

62
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:25,440
especially at the beginning. And we're not even talking about potential for

63
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,639
on-screen appearances at this time. It would be purely off camera to start. As

64
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,320
far as skills and experience go, we'd be looking for deep familiarity with

65
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,919
benchmarking and troubleshooting PC hardware. So, you better know how to use

66
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Fraps, Future Mark products, SSD benchmarking applications like ASSD and

67
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Anvil, etc. Networking and other general software skills are both also major

68
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:52,080
pluses. You should be very skilled at Google Fu, so internet research, and

69
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:56,720
then presenting conclusions in a concise and entertaining manner. And in line

70
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:02,720
with that, a solid foundation in English writing is mandatory. If you weren't an

71
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:08,080
A student with solid essay writing skills, it will be very, very, very

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,160
tough to get this position. A great sense of humor is a plus. It'll be part

73
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,720
of your job, and you need one to work here anyway. You really do. and solid

74
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,080
organizational skills, the ability to follow detailed instructions, and the

75
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,639
ability to work independently without distracting yourself and other team

76
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,639
members are all necessary. Prominent

77
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:31,440
members of Linus TechTips forum with a long history of being helpful towards

78
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,039
others will be a consideration and any

79
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,880
trolling and negativity towards other members will work against you and don't

80
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,880
bother deleting anything because we can see that stuff. So, so don't even don't

81
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,919
even bother. Some optional skills, camera work and editing software skills

82
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,919
are a plus, and any maker and web or

83
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:53,520
mobile coding skills are a plus, but neither of those other things are

84
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,560
mandatory. So, how to apply? Resume and

85
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:01,199
short cover letter to Linus techtips@gmail.com. The subject line

86
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:05,759
should be exactly as follows. LMG

87
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,560
expansion 2014 job application colon

88
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:12,880
your name. Based on past experience, we will receive anywhere from 300 to a

89
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:17,199
thousand applications. So, please don't follow up your application. If you don't

90
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,880
hear back from us, we've decided to go a different direction, and we just don't

91
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:24,880
have time to reply to everyone. Speaking of replying to everyone, you never have

92
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,800
to wait on customer service when you deal with Ting, today's video sponsor.

93
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:32,479
Ting's an awesome wireless provider in the United States that believes in truly

94
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:37,840
serving their customers. And by that I mean when you call them you speak to a

95
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,600
human being, not some weird robot or something. They also have a detailed

96
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,160
savings calculator that you can try out on their site where you enter the amount

97
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,000
on your bills and your usage numbers from your last few months and then they

98
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,639
tell you how much you would have paid if you switched to tings because they've

99
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:59,759
got to pay only for what you use like alocart sort of model instead of locking

100
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:04,560
you into committing to talk to you know your fave five for 200 minutes every

101
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,479
month otherwise you're not getting the best value out of your money anyway. The

102
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:12,319
point is you can try it out. You just go dial up all your numbers on their

103
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,080
website and even just find out ahead of time if it's going to work for you. They're on the Sprint network, so you

104
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:19,919
don't have to worry about that that janky, you know, like, oh, they're like

105
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,960
a, you know, smaller carrier. I probably won't get very good service. Well, as

106
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:29,120
long as you've got good Sprint reception in your area, then you'll get good reception on Ting. They offer to cover

107
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:33,520
up to 25% of your fee if you break contract to switch to TING, up to 75

108
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,919
bucks. And you can save $25 off a new device or get $25 in service credit by

109
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,120

00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,120
I got going on here? I want to hear from you. Also, guys, check out the link in

looking into a new headquarters, one that's actually big enough for us to do

115
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:06,639
things properly and be a little bit more organized as well as to have enough room

116
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,759
for our new employees. So, uh, guys, you

117
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:12,000
can give us a monthly contribution there. You can buy a cool t-shirt like this one, or you can just change your

118
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,520
Amazon bookmark to one with our affiliate code baked into it so that we

119
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,639
get a small kickback whenever you're randomly shopping on Amazon. That kind

120
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:22,910
of stuff helps us out a lot. Thanks again for watching, and as always, don't
