WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640 Normally, we don't do a dedicated video to announce the winners of our 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.320 giveaways. And today is no exception. 00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.920 Because while this video will include the winners of our million subscriber 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.680 giveaway, it will also include a special announcement that kind of goes along 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.560 with that whole, you know, wow, we're growing a lot theme. It's recruitment 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:28.720 time at Lionus Media Group. We need at least one full-time person for the 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:33.680 glamorous position of benchmarking and script writing monkey. So stay tuned to 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.480 see some behind the scenes of building the winner's custom gaming rig here and 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:42.239 the details of the job offer. And if you're not already subscribed, get on 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.600 that because we're going to have a video of the PowerUp 3.0, a smartphone 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.480 controlled Bluetooth paper airplane coming very soon. 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:03.359 Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature precision Cherry MXR RGB key switches 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:08.080 for 16.8 million color per key backlighting for virtually unlimited 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:13.360 customization. Click now to learn more. So, the winners of the gaming laptop and 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:15.280 the Surface Pro 3 were Anto Wayne B and 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:19.840 Fediger. Anyway, they've already got their prizes, but the winner of the 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:25.200 custom PC never got back to us. So, we redrew and 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:28.400 Terminator is the big winner this time. 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.960 To go along with our Core i7 4770K CPU, 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:36.479 we've got a Define R4 white case with a Newton, 1000watt matching white power 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.960 supply from Fractal, an H90 CPU cooler, 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 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:51.759 Z97X UD5H and painted R9290 graphics 00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:55.520 card from Gigabyte. and a badass Myar 00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.960 mouse and Nova touch TKL Toer keyboard 00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.280 from Cooler Master CM Storm as it were. 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:05.200 So huge thanks to Josh from Fractal Design, Rick from Corsair, Leo from 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.759 Gigabyte, and Raj from Cooler Master for the sweet components that the winner is 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.920 going to get in their build. Now, this rig really started with the paint job, 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 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.319 areas where you don't want to get any paint, like the front USB ports, and 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.360 then I thoughtfully applied paint in the 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.000 most artful, tasteful way, you know, the 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.319 way a true artist would. And then, you know, I thought, well, how about some 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.959 black? And then, uh, maybe some, you know, green and then maybe some more 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 00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:43.519 town the way that Lionus would. And the end result is what you're looking at 00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:47.280 right now. now and it's pretty polarizing. Some people in the office 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:50.959 hate it and others in the office are like, "Yeah, it looks pretty cool." But 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:54.879 the the people who said that are pretty new here and I think maybe they were 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.800 just sucking up. Now, I promised to build the winner's PC personally. So, to 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. 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.959 Nothing too complicated happened here other than me forgetting to install the 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.239 rear fan as exhaust and having to redo that. And then also the bit where I 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.200 discovered that the CPU cooler, which has actually been sitting on a shelf for 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:19.440 almost two years now, I think over a year for sure, was missing a piece of 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.440 mounting hardware that someone must have taken from it for another cooler at some 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.040 point or something. In fact, we were even so organized. There's a label on it 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 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, 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 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:43.760 everyone from the team here sign the side window except Taran because he's on 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.239 the injury reserve right now. Which 00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:50.959 leads us to the second and perhaps even more important part of this video. Pay 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:55.599 very close attention to this information if you are interested in a job here at 00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.799 Linus Media Group. So, the job is to work daily with Lionus, Luke, and the 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:05.120 rest of the LMG crew to benchmark and analyze the latest PC hardware and 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.640 really anything else that falls into our Labs. You are to write notes and scripts 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:14.319 for Linus Tech Tips episodes and fastest possible episodes. Work on, you know, 00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:18.320 reviewing the hardware behind the scenes. You have to understand it is not 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, 00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:25.440 especially at the beginning. And we're not even talking about potential for 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.639 on-screen appearances at this time. It would be purely off camera to start. As 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.320 far as skills and experience go, we'd be looking for deep familiarity with 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:37.919 benchmarking and troubleshooting PC hardware. So, you better know how to use 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:42.880 Fraps, Future Mark products, SSD benchmarking applications like ASSD and 00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:48.000 Anvil, etc. Networking and other general software skills are both also major 00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:52.080 pluses. You should be very skilled at Google Fu, so internet research, and 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:56.720 then presenting conclusions in a concise and entertaining manner. And in line 00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:02.720 with that, a solid foundation in English writing is mandatory. If you weren't an 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:08.080 A student with solid essay writing skills, it will be very, very, very 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 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:16.720 of your job, and you need one to work here anyway. You really do. and solid 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:20.080 organizational skills, the ability to follow detailed instructions, and the 00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:24.639 ability to work independently without distracting yourself and other team 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.639 members are all necessary. Prominent 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:31.440 members of Linus TechTips forum with a long history of being helpful towards 00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:33.039 others will be a consideration and any 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:36.880 trolling and negativity towards other members will work against you and don't 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.880 bother deleting anything because we can see that stuff. So, so don't even don't 00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:45.919 even bother. Some optional skills, camera work and editing software skills 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:47.919 are a plus, and any maker and web or 00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:53.520 mobile coding skills are a plus, but neither of those other things are 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.560 mandatory. So, how to apply? Resume and 00:05:53.520 --> 00:06:01.199 short cover letter to Linus techtips@gmail.com. The subject line 00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:05.759 should be exactly as follows. LMG 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.560 expansion 2014 job application colon 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:12.880 your name. Based on past experience, we will receive anywhere from 300 to a 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:17.199 thousand applications. So, please don't follow up your application. If you don't 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 00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:24.880 have time to reply to everyone. Speaking of replying to everyone, you never have 00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:28.800 to wait on customer service when you deal with Ting, today's video sponsor. 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:32.479 Ting's an awesome wireless provider in the United States that believes in truly 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.840 serving their customers. And by that I mean when you call them you speak to a 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.600 human being, not some weird robot or something. They also have a detailed 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.160 savings calculator that you can try out on their site where you enter the amount 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:50.000 on your bills and your usage numbers from your last few months and then they 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:54.639 tell you how much you would have paid if you switched to tings because they've 00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:59.759 got to pay only for what you use like alocart sort of model instead of locking 00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:04.560 you into committing to talk to you know your fave five for 200 minutes every 00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:08.479 month otherwise you're not getting the best value out of your money anyway. The 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 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 00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:19.919 don't have to worry about that that janky, you know, like, oh, they're like 00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:22.960 a, you know, smaller carrier. I probably won't get very good service. Well, as 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 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 00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:36.919 bucks.
