I've seen previous Scrapyard Wars before, and given those videos, it's not very impressive. It's on a budget. Yeah, so my expectations are on the floor. If they can get me something that's usable, fully usable, then I'll be pretty impressed. Yeah, I'm Judge Plouffe, and I think it's going to be close. Luke and Linus are both really good at scrounging up deals and kind of scrapping stuff together, so I don't know. We'll see. I don't know, man. I just got to see the setup. I got to try it. I got to experience it. What do you think is going to win? What do you think has a better chance of winning? Because you know the teams, right? No, I know it's Luke and Linus, but I can't remember. I know Elijah's with them, but who are the assistants? It's Luke and Eli and Linus and Sammy from Labs. Interesting. Sammy's good at her job, but I don't know how technical she is, whereas Elijah's a writer, so I know he's pretty technical. I feel like Luke and Elijah's setup is going to be more creative problem-solving. I feel like Linus and Sammy's setup is going to be more aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable, usable. There are a lot of points for both aesthetics and creativity and whatnot, so yeah, I think it's going to be really tight. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, I'm excited to see it. Do you know what their budget was and everything? No, I have no idea. David just told us just ahead of time. He said it's $700 and then $100 on Java. So it's not a lot considering that's monitor, mouse, keyboard, desk, audio, whether it's speakers or headphones. With that plus a whole computer system, that's a tight budget. What are you guys going to focus on in terms of judging? What does Nicole want and what does Poof want to see? I want a comfortable, usable system. Something that works and isn't scraps thrown together. I don't want it to be obvious that they went to the scrap yard. I want to feel like... That's the title. But the goal here is to beat that title, is to be better than that, is to get the best that they can out of the budget they have. So I'm hoping to see something that they put together with a lot more thought and effort than just go into the scrap yard. What about you, Poof? I want something stable and reliable, so I don't want to see some super old CPU that might die in a few months. And I want decent gaming FPS. It doesn't have to be crazy, it doesn't have to be anything like 240Hz or anything like that, but it's got to be solid. They can't have these weird, bad 1% lows that feel like a stuttery mess. I am Riley Murdoch. Do I tell you what I do? I'm a tech link, I'm a newsman. And a judge for today. And more importantly than that, I'm a judge. That's part of my identity even more. What are you going to look for today? What are you expecting out of today's judging? Well, I'm probably less of a technical person than maybe Poof, for example. So it's going to be more vibes-based evaluation on my part. It's been a long time since I built some PCs in my day. Don't get me wrong, but it's been a while, so I don't know. I don't even know what the kids are building now. Is there RGB in there? Do they do RGB? The computers turn on. I don't know anything else above that. That's number one, is that it should turn on. So that's what I'll be looking for. And then everything else beyond that, bonus. What do you think is going to have the best one if you have a prediction? My guess would be that Luke is the legitimate winner. But Linus maybe eventually wins by arguing that he should win until we give it to him. He's going to find some loophole in the documentation in the rules that actually allows him to win despite breaking every rule at every stage, probably. I don't know anything about how they filmed this, but if there's humor involved, I guess if there's something funny involved in the build, I'll weigh that heavily. Okay. It's the exact opposite, but also practicality. I'm not one for crazy decorations and stuff. I want it to be a normal PC. Don't go out of your way to do fancy water cooling or whatever. Just make it work first. So I'm a pragmatist there, but if there's some jokes, then that's going to get some bonus too. You're here in the final stretch of Scrapyard Ports, and we have our three experts, Nicholas Plou, our displaying keyboard expert. Nicole Young? Nicole Young. Nicole, you are an aesthetics expert and Riley. Yeah, I hoped you were going to say something, but okay. Regular guy. I'm a guy. I'm a dude. All right. Wait, can I be Vibes? Keyboard display. Yeah. What were you again? Aesthetics. Aesthetics, Vibes. Vibes. Vibes. Vibes. Shouldn't the vibes go first then? What? Yeah. No, the vibes are like the cherry on top. You're each giving an individual score on each category. Yeah. So let's start. You don't know which system is which, right? No. Excellent. I have no idea. Why don't we start over here? You have to go stand up there by the... Cutest PC count is not part of this. What? Oh, okay. Yeah. Let's judge the cutest PC again. And Linus and Luke can't be here while we're judging, right? Because then Linus could pull the Linus thing and just... Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no. You're rating it wrong because I'm your boss. As a reminder to the audience and our judges, the scoring is based on aesthetics for 25 points, sound for 10, stratagem for 25, effectiveness for 40, which results in a sweeping score. And that will be the score that most matters today. I love that you called it stratagem. I needed to make the acronym work. Stratagon. Nicole's trying to figure it out. What the acronym is? Yeah. Did you get it? ASSE? ASSE. ASSE is. What sweeping score? ASSE is. ASSE is. Nice. Look, I'm not good at my job. All right. Who wants to judge first? Oh, okay. Cool. What do we... Oh, this is it. This is it. I thought this was something somebody left here by accident. Wow, that's impressive. I'm really impressed that they have a chair this time around. I'm just going to go ahead and take a seat. Okay. Oh, did you just judge previous one? Interesting. Not bad. Not bad. A lot better than I expected, honestly. Oh, okay. This is a short person friendly. I like that. The keyboard. Yikes. Where'd you get this? What's wrong with the keyboard? Tell me about that. Oh, geez. This feels... Can you give me the... The keyboard feels... Yikes on the keyboard because... That's in the full sentence. Oh, yikes. The keyboard does not feel clicky at all, but also not thawky, not aesthetically pleasing, actually kind of crusty. Is that like orange dried up goop I see? Ooh. Yum. I don't know about that one. It is functional, I guess. There's like a ton of hot keys you could use, but not very aesthetically pleasing. Are we allowed to like boot up a game or something? Yep. Ooh, can we boot up a game? You're looking at settings. You can... Don't change settings, obviously, but... Yeah. Oh, okay. Steam isn't signed in. Oh. I thought this was just a... They weren't... I thought it was just the tower. I didn't know it was gonna be on set up. Yeah. That's great. Wow. That's a nice monitor. That's a pretty nice monitor that they got for this budget. Did they... Is this bribery? Absolutely. Interesting. How do we split that three ways? You can take it two or five. You know what else? I don't even care to change it anymore. We could get maybe a small slurpee. Okay. I don't know if it'll be against one. Let's take a look at the station itself. Okay, I see that they've kind of smushed it against the table, which makes me think they're trying to hide something. You are allowed to move the desk, if you so please. The desk. Okay. Be careful of cables. Don't yank a cable. Yeah. It looks like it's very yankable, which, again, what are they hiding? Oh, geez. This desk is like... Not like... Okay. Are the judges allowed to help each other? This is part of your evaluation. Oh my gosh. What are they hiding? I see a pretty decent air cooler in there. What is that? Should I just move it? Yeah. Cool. Cool. Do it where you're at. Now we're right before... They're judging the other system right now, so... I mean, maybe you don't need to see the PC so much. It's still on, right? Okay. Cool. Interesting. Airpods. What GPU is this? What were they thinking with that thing? They got a 3080 in here. With that factor. Yeah. A 3080? What the heck? What? Who did they steal this from? Oh my God. What was their budget? 700 total. Or 800-ish. What? Yeah. Oh, wow. Dang. Wow. They definitely wrangled this off some unsuspecting person. Probably, you know, took it from Kyle. Yeah. That's taking candy from small children. Found some kid on Facebook. Yeah. They probably swindled a grandparent out of something that they didn't know they had. Oh no, that's the 3080. That's bad. I bought this 4050. See how the first number started? That was audio stuff. It's fine. Okay. Cool. Yeah. I said I unplugged something. I don't know what. Oh yeah, unplugged something? Okay. These headphones are also orange crusty. What? Where is this coming from? The garbage bin. It's extra flavor. Of course. How did your ears come off with orange crusty? What is orange crusty? There's like this mysterious orange crusty stuff on the headphones which matches the mysterious orange crusty stuff on the keyboard. At one time, orange crusty was all the rage. There were commercials for orange crusty. Where you just slather yourself in it and game for the best performance. You don't want to be the loser kid at school. Ask your mom to buy you orange crusty. Now better than blue crusty. Speakers I'm also pretty impressed by. We could play the sound for all three of you at once. This team also has a headset. So we could listen to both and you could decide which one's better. We'll score based on the better sound. Sure. I would love to not put on the headphones. If that's an option. All wearable. Okay, cool. Nice. Play some crab rape. Yeah, that sounds great. Sneaking. No need to be afraid of a little orange crusty. I don't know about that. I love it as a noun. Orange crusty. Did I break it? It's possible. Uh-oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Wow. We're going to start at well a minute. Yeah, sure. Yeah. We will only evaluate how good each setup is. This is not at 100%. I can boost it to 100%. I'm playing crab rape. I don't even know if it needs to. These are pretty good. Yeah. Wait for it. Yay. There it is. That's not bad. Yeah. Let's boost it to 100%. That's not bad. I'm sure. Wow. Is there some distortion in the very low? Probably. There's so much low end that I think it's distorting a little bit. That's why I don't buy it. Oh, gee. That's not bad. That's not bad. I'm sure. Wow. Is there some distortion in the very low? Probably. There's so much low end that I think it's distorting a little bit. What? Wow. Just rude. Anything? Nicole, you're ready to... They're a chable. They know how to do. They know how to do a lot of stuff. Chable. Chable. Chable? Chable. Chable or chable? I have no idea. It's like a Korean mega conglomerate. Nicole, you can prod it. Are you ready to give your score? I am ready to give my score. Excellent. Please take a step back, and Nicholas, go and inspect. Please. There's some odd stains on the chair. I'll sit down anyway. A different variety of crusty. Yeah. They're... There is a small variety on the table. Or is that just them saying that's what they had left over? Maybe. I think it's both, yeah. Okay, 1080p screen at 144Hz. Okay, so this is a gaming monitor. And then for specs, what do they get? They've got an R7 1700 8-core processor. It's old. But it's an R7. Oh, wow. It's a Ryzen 7. That's not bad. I mean, 3700 would be a lot better. But, you know, they've got a budget. What kind of memory do they have here? It's definitely not going to use XMP. It looks like two 8-gig sticks running at 2133 MHz. So pretty slow DVR4, but that's okay. You know, they're gaming on the budget. And then for storage, one terabyte SSD. That's kind of like the bottom line for a proper gaming PC. So that's pretty decent. And then what do you do? Yeah, it is an RTX 3080. I don't know how bottlenecked a 3080 is going to be by a 7200X, especially a 1080P, but we'll have a game on it to find out who gained on it. No, we're going to do benchmarks. We already have some benchmarks, but we're going to do benchmarks. This is more just about... This keyboard here. I got it. Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. You change your mind. We're going too slow. Yeah, it's okay. Don't go faster, but we don't really need you guys. I was going to depend on... Actually, we probably do, so you can test the mouse with the keyboard. We should do that. That's kind of what I was going to say. Just real quick. Just real quick. Okay, it's not signed into Steam. Well, that's an issue. Can you just sign into my account, but do they have game on here? They should. Which ones? Why are they signed up though? I don't know. I'll just say the chemistry on it. Okay, that's fine. Do you know if there's a save anywhere for Metroid? I don't. Oh, Rocket League. Nice. Okay, sure. Oh, I was going to play Rocket League. I don't know. I'll play. I'll play. Honestly, I'm impressed by the speakers. One thing that I don't think the Cole Touch Fund is... Looks like they've got it back here. Wow. Or something? High-five stereo audio amplifier. Okay. It's just an amp. It's not an amp. It's just an amp. Still, though, to drive these massive bookshelf speakers. I don't even know if you can call them bookshelves at this point. I'll try to hold the chair. They're bookshelf speakers for a real academic. They got the thick books. Is that the next generation version of QuickBooks? Thick books? Thick books. What do you mean? Thick books. When you're pulling some big numbers. Is this still for accounting about what? I'll change it to speakers. Oh. My favorite. My favorite. My favorite. My favorite. Oh. Oh. All right. There you go. Okay. There's an iPhone. That's an iPhone. That's an iPhone. There it is. Okay. I'm not... You know... Headphones aren't amazing. But they're not bad. And they got a mic. So... You can game. This looks terrible. This is a 2x... Video. Ah, that's why. But it's not even 1080p. Okay. That's better. How's the texture of the orange crunchy? Wait, Krusty? Orange crunchy. Okay. Okay. That's better. How's the texture of the orange crunchy? Wait, Krusty? Orange Krusty. They do feel Krusty in general. These are not the most comfortable... I mean, of course, they're okay. But the material is so old. Is this the very beginning of the game? Nope. Oh, no. Okay. You know... Oh, wow. It's not the best monitor I've ever used. But for the price point that they got to... That's not bad. I want to just try to... I'm not going to do this for too long. You're going to really hear the fans... Yeah, it's spinning up. That's why you've got the speakers and phones. You're like, turn the game volume... Turn the game volume up. There's a lot of stuff you want to hear. There's some good details. I thought that was coming from the game at first. I was like, oh, wow. This is a very impressive... Turn around. There's something behind you. Oh, it's your PC. One second. After... Can someone go with their mic stand right next to it? And then just have one be quiet! for a second? Can you... You picking up on that? I'm not monitoring that. You're not monitoring me? Yeah. Don't I matter to you, Blush? I'm not even doing it. Go ahead. Shh. It's just got louder while I was doing it. I was like... It's a bit of a blurry message. It's trying. It's screaming. It's screaming. It's responsive enough. That's a good question. That is, like, strangely loud. Sorry, it's not my turn yet. That's better, but now it feels like the frame's lower. What did you do? I turned motion blur off, which helped with the low FPS. But now I can definitely tell that it's much lower FPS. Okay, that's not bad. There's some Corsair case with, like, no front-air floats over the top vents. They've got, what, one rear exhaust fan. Can I look at cable damage? No, take two on this. You need to take a break. It doesn't really matter anyway. It doesn't matter. No cables or cables. I agree. I just wanted to... I really like the desk. Say something. I think, in this instance, I'd actually probably go under a slung keyboard, but now I feel like there's a slung down here. There's a lot. Okay. Just to insulate the sound of... There's a sound fan down here. I actually like the desk. There's an answering board. It's got a bunch of cable runs here for cable management or something, if you want to put it there, I guess. Those are cup holders. They're cup holders? No, that can't be a cup. You've got to know that one. It's too small for a cup holder. It's a Vegas Yard cup holder. Anything could be a cup holder with proper imagination. Okay. Okay. The keyboard is absolutely garbage. The monitor is perfectly adequate. The speakers are decent. The mouse... Actually, I don't know what the mouse... You know, it seems okay. It's a... What? Rock that? No. Yeah. Z-Long or whatever? Yeah. Z-Lang. These are okay. And I love the Zin-Mang mouse pad. Do you have a mouse pad? They could not have a mouse pad. I think I've got a good idea. Excellent. Please take a step back. Please take a step back while Riley assesses the system. Okay. Hmm. Hmm. The vibes. How can we describe the vibes here? I mean, I'm feeling like early 2000s high school students who somehow managed to get a hold of their parents' credit card to buy these massive speakers. And this... I mean, I want to take another look at the keyboard because, yeah, wow, that orange crusty definitely is high fidelity up close, so that's got some crust on it. It's a membrane keyboard. What is this thing? Oh, you can switch to game mode. Okay. Very cool. Media controls. This is something that's purely vibes. It's just a window to display nothing. That's just to give some lighting to your dark gamer cave, I guess. Okay. Vibes. We already talked about the monitor, 144 hertz. I'm just going to jump into trying Rocket League because that might give me going. I love Rocket League and I like how it disrespects me as a keyboard and mouse player. Do you play Rocket League, keyboard and mouse? Of course. PC, PC gamer master race, et cetera. I play Rocket League with a controller. I tried switching to controller and I just couldn't do it. I'm okay with my skill being capped at pretty good. Are you going to put on the headphones? Oh, yeah. Yeah, headphones. It's a great experience. Are we on the speakers right now? No, they're on the headphones right now. Okay. Why don't you listen to the headphones and give us the experience? We need someone to... Oh, the crab rave? It does not have to be crab rave, but it's... Oh. Oh. Okay. They feel very light, which is a plus in my book if you're wearing these all day. Clamping force isn't bad. What model is this? It's a Corsair. Do we already say that? Yeah, it says it's a Corsair. I don't know what it is. It's Corsair something. I am slightly concerned by the tinge. The color tinge on them? Is it... Oh. I didn't even notice that. It's a wheel that doesn't work. You can only go up, which honestly, vibes points for that. You can only turn the volume up. We only rock in this household, but I actually do want to turn that down so I don't die. Although wait, it's still like super quiet. Oh, is there an inline volume? Oh, it's on the back of the headphones, I think. Oh, okay. There we go. And that's not doing anything. I think... Oh, no. No, it is. Oh, no, it is doing something. It just doesn't control Windows. It's just as in headset. The amp here, it's only powering the speakers, right? That's fair. That's fair. Okay. Okay to all. Let's just do, well, I don't want to go online, play offline. Can I do bots? Yeah. 3v3 bots. Yeah. Okay. PC is really just screaming in pain, huh? That's too loud. Okay, wait. Yeah. I'll listen to the sound. Yeah. Oh, the FOV. I can't see anything, but that's not the setup's fault. Okay. Well, this is very smooth, obviously. I mean, like, we've got a 3080, 144-hertz screen. Oh, I completely whiffed it, but it's not about this. I mean, I could see, once I start gaming, anytime people are talking about, like, fancy keyboards, oh my gosh, don't show this. Anytime people are talking about fancy keyboards, as soon as I actually start gaming on what is ostensibly a bad keyboard, it's like, pfft, works fine. You don't need a controller, Ploof. Something would beg to differ. You're pretty good. You're also very okay with this membrane keyboard, which I feel like- It felt so bad. Yeah, isn't a great representation. Isn't a great representation? Isn't a great representation of the general preferences of what people use as peripherals. If I missed this- You can do it. You can do it. Oh! What? Oh, boy! That's a good- That's always a signal to stop playing. Riley, do you feel like you have enough information to give a score? I want to look at the PC for one second, because this is very loud. One thing that's irritating to me as someone whose desk is on the set where we film is a loud PC. I cannot abide a loud PC, and this one is very loud. Yeah, like Ploof said, there's not even any fans in the top, so all of that sound is coming from- It can't be coming from the GPU, right? I think it's the CPU cooler. It's the CPU cooler. I think so. There's one exterior- One rear fan. One rear fan. Careful. Yeah, I think I only see one fan in the front, but- The RAM's not lighting up. Does that impact your vibe score? The RAM's not lighting up. The RGB RAM. Are we not using it? It's recognizing. Yeah, it knows what it is. I'm actually kind of surprised. That's the problem we haven't been using the RAM. The vibes, yeah. Okay, so aesthetically, I mean, you were supposed to talk about the aesthetics. Did you talk about the build aesthetics? We didn't really- It's really basic. I want to lift it up. You have to turn it off. Just turn it off. Just lift it up. Oh, wow. You're so strong. It's all red all the time. Yes. I kind of liked something a little, something a little more. I mean, if the RAM is light up RAM. They're also not showing it off at all. They just shoved it in a corner. Yeah. It's like, if you're putting this forward to be judged, why are you hiding in a corner? Right. Shine your light. Don't hide under a bushel. There's so much desk space. There is so much desk space under the desk. This is a big desk. You could easily put that up here. So I mean, minus some points for shame on their part. You alluded to there being a reason for there being foam under the desk. So it was a free desk. Sure. There's the foam under it. And on the back panel of that desk, there was a lot of suspicious splatter. Oh. So we're really confused as to the whole situation. Very good. They don't know how to make assumptions. They were, you know, doing painting projects down there. They didn't want their parents to hear. Exactly. It's from an office. Oh, OK. So that makes it better or worse. You decide. From an office? Like a church that stands at the desk where they slept underneath. They didn't want their snoring to escape. Overall, vibes. I mean, what was the budget? 800. Overall, vibes. I mean, for $800 for this complete setup, that's not bad at all. The total is 610 US. I'm feeling positive vibes at this moment. All right. Don't give your scores yet. It's time to go look at the other system. Get that in your head. OK. It's time to judge the second system. Nicole, you are up first. Immediately, this looks way better to me. Like it's so comfortable. You've got some personal effects. Look at that. Look at that little penguin. It's so happy to see me. You know, the chair, it doesn't look sketchy at all. I feel comfortable and well-supported. Oh, my goodness. See, they're showing off their system. It's nice and clean. There's no sign of any orange crusty anywhere. You know, there are even more personal effects. Oh, that's so cute. There's candy. See, this is a station I would be happy to sit at and use. Look at that. I'm very impressed. Let's see how it feels. So right off the bat, the monitor is much less impressive. But it's cute. I like it. What's much less impressive? Oh. But it has 3D vision. It does have 3D vision. Did you get your glasses from home? Just my regular ones. I don't understand what's going on with this mouse pad, but. There has to be some kind of crusty. It's sticky? There's, OK, one second. Oh. That's something. That's something. Blue crusty. Blue crusty. That's the blue crusty. Ah, the elusive blue very interesting. I guess that does provide grip. You don't want to be sliding around too much when you're gaming. Hmm. I'm guessing that was glued. We've got some nice speakers. Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, this is a little sticky, but, you know, very usable. Lots of grip. Keyboard is a lot more impressive. Wow. This feels, wee. This feels way better than the previous one. Looks way better, way cleaner. There still are hotkeys, so for that price point, you too can have a clean keyboard. Very nice. The mouse is great. Mouse is very fancy. I would say. And then there's a nice blue microphone as well, the blue snowball with a cute little bow. Very nice. Very nice touches. Oh my gosh. The RGB isn't just red. They took the R out of the RGB they put in the B. I'm very impressed, wow. So nice. So clean. And they even put little decorations on the desk itself. Wow. Very nice. Nicole, do you think you have enough information to give a score? I think. Please take a step back. Nicholas. We're going to call you Nicholas. I want to know whether those bows and stuff were added by them or by, or that was already part of it. They were added. Nice. Oh. Oh. That's what it was. Interesting. Well, it's a 1700. So I'm not super surprised. Yeah. Keyboard is nicer. It's still not mechanical, but it feels better and newer and it's both Logitech G105 and I don't know what mouse this is. G402. But. Proteus. Feels pretty good. It's definitely, I'm guessing 60 hertz. It should not be 60 hertz. It should be higher. That's what he was doing. Go to NVIDIA Control Panel. Oh, sauce me one of those candies. Sauce me. Beer me a candy. Nice. Oh, I'm going to take a purple too. I'm going to be talking around the candy in my mouth. That's why I go first. Yeah. The board is very basic. That is a super basic brown board, but I can see he's got a lot of stuff. But I can see he's got an NVMe drive. Well, it could be SATA, but it's probably NVMe. What kind of specs are there? I've been informed that at one point it was working at 144, but a cabling issue or something is preventing it from being that. So you can only judge it at 60 with consideration. Oh, interesting. Can I tell that to the camera and everything? Sure. A cable issue. It's supposed to be able to do 144 hertz, but because of whatever cabling issue they're running into, it's only doing 60. So I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to judge it based on that. It's an older monitor, so it's probably, could be DVI or VGA or something. So that's going to be a problematic issue. It's a 4500, all right? Wow. Does the 4500 have on board graphics at night? Question for you. Did you say KVI or did you say DVI? No, you didn't. Yeah, I just heard it wrong. 60Hz and RAM as well, but this one's running at 3,600 megahertz. So I don't know if that one just didn't have XMP enabled, and this one does, because that was G-skill memory, and it looked nice, so I'm surprised. Maybe they just forgot, but this one's got it turned on. Some points there. HDD. It's got extra storage. 700 gigs, that's a weird one. Storage or whatever, but then yeah, this SSD, oh, so it's just a boot drive. This machine has a 256 gig SSD? Yeah. 750, where's the other one? It's 500 gig SSD. I thought I read one terabyte when I was reading some specs over there. Just cut that out here if I said one terabyte. 240, 256 gig SSD is going to lose a good point, because I personally really don't think, really avoid it on a budget, try to not put games on an HDD. They're really starting to get slow now because of the new, the way games are being developed but otherwise, I mean, yeah, specs look decent, what's the GPU? 37. That's honestly not, I mean, yeah, it's worse than the 3080, but like, at 1080, that's actually not bad. I'd take the better CPU, six cores, but it's probably running a lot faster with higher IPC gains, considering it's 4,500 or not. First-gen Ryzen. It's such a disdain. First-gen Ryzen. First-gen Ryzen was cool, but it wasn't that good. It really wasn't until second and third-gen came out. That's a solid cooler master. It looks like a Hyper 212 black RGB edition. That could be wrong, but it looks like correct. And then we've got some, what, G-skill rip jaws. It's solid memory. I mean, honestly, I would like it nicer motherboard, but it's quiet so far. We've got to try the speakers, I guess, at a fire. The speakers, they're much smaller than the huge, huge shelf towers that were over there, but it's trialling. It's trialling? You don't need that much. Those are very small. They're very tiny, but maybe they're strong. But they have that cool control interface. Yeah, they do. That Nicole said is sticky. It very much doesn't matter. See, size doesn't matter. It's a performance. Vibes. Vibes. That's what matters. This mousepad, it's awful. I hate the noise it makes. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's like catching. It's like start to pill. It's the bottom that's catching because it's sticky. Oh, that's not even the top. No, it's the bottom. It's the crusty. It's the crusty. It almost comes back to the crusty. He's got a better mic than what's on the headset over there. That's for sure. But I don't know. Is it trying to send audio to the Eddie right now? I don't know. I don't think so. Oh, yeah. I just had to hit the mute button on our handy-dandy little kind of fire room boat here. I can tell you right now, there's not going to be as much bass, but I bet these will sound okay enough. There's a subwoofer on this one. What? Oh, wow. Where? Oh, he hit it right down here. Oh, wow. Very clean. I will say, I also like how the desk has storage. Oh, yeah, one does not, yeah. One does not. This is a little smaller, but I'll take the storage any day. But here you don't have nearly as much room to put your legs in all sorts of weird configurations, probably. Yeah. But you also don't need the ice. Let's pause the audio. Well, get to the drop, but say these things without the audio plan. I don't think the sub is doing anything. Yeah, it doesn't seem like that. It's doing something. It's doing something. Do you want to crank it? Whoa. It's got a lot of power. I feel like that had more power than the other one. You know, those old speakers, they're just not that good. These are bad. I think they're pretty similar. Which is crazy to say. Yeah, I know, because they're so tiny, right? But that's okay. Yeah, over the other things. I love how much, you know, it's a smaller desk, but there's storage involved. A little separator here, so you want to put something here, your candy, and this one, that's great. I also mentioned zero overclocking for gaming every day. So it's going to be nice and stable, allegedly. Yeah, I've got to say, I think, oh, I'm so torn. I hate that this is stuck at 60. It's really killing me that this is stuck at 60. And if they're having trouble getting it to sort itself out, actually do 144, I can tell you right now, the average person is going to be more trouble making it actually do 144. I think it's the better computer, but I think it's ultimately an average monitor. I think I'm ready. Can we look at the back to figure out what the, like, are we only supposed to vaguely know it was a cabling issue? Like we say, why? I don't know. What's DVI? It is DVI. Oh, I see. Okay. So it might just be that. So cables weren't part of the budget. Oh. Oh. So I don't want to, like, penalize too hard if that, maybe it's a DVI thing, but it's also, they didn't get an adapter. Sure. So that's their bad. So even then, it isn't like this is an older monitor. Yeah, that's a better monitor. That's a much better monitor. It's fine. So I don't feel they need to change anything. We got a DP 1.4 AK thing going into a dongle to DVI. That's not their fault. That's not their fault. What do you mean it's not their fault? I'm confident. That's something they had to think about when they were, what do you mean? They should have thought about it. They should have thought about it. They should have thought about it. They should have thought about it. Their own dongle. No free lunches here. Question for you. Linus was trying to convince me that those are cables. And I was very clear. I think those are adapters. Are those connectors adapters or cables? Those are adapters. Yeah. I'd say they're adapters. DVI cables going to adapters. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. It's conclusive. It's conclusive. It's conclusive. It's conclusive. It's conclusive. Okay. So I had some immediate thoughts upon coming over here. Just like the vibe is immediately more welcoming just because of the high contrast between the dark peripherals and the PCs and stuff and the lighter desk. Over there we got a darker desk and dark peripherals. It just kind of looks like, I think the word is dink. And over here, the vibe is more, a lot more welcoming. This is like, as Nicole was saying, this is a place where I could conceivably sit down and want to sit down and use the computer, you know? The bows don't do anything for me, but I can understand someone being like, ooh, a bow. I want to do some work now. Or gaming. What were my other thoughts? Is there no headset? There was no headset on this one. It was not a requirement. Just some form of audio. It was a requirement. Well, sure, sure. But I think that like, I don't, I mean, I don't know. I know that a lot of people like to game with speakers and stuff, but as someone who has traditionally lived with someone else in my, in my space, headphones would be appreciated. But, you know, to each their own, I guess. If anything, I would expect that one to not have headphones instead of this one. This one looks like you've taken, you've taken the, how it appears to other people into account. What were you saying? The mic is going to have issues when you don't have headphones here. Right. Because that's going to give us a bunch of audio from the speakers. Yeah, yeah. It's going to have fun talking to your friends on Discord while you're trying to game. Is this model? Let's go ahead. It really depends which games you play though. If they're more relaxed, more casual games, maybe you don't need the headphones. Fair enough, fair enough. In terms of the build, I agree with, is it, was IU Nicole who said that the RGB is. Yeah. It's not just red. And it's like the, the light on the CPU call, the light on the CPU cooler is a light blue. It's, it's optimistic. It's making me feel happy. Then we got some, I guess this color on the GPU is changing a bit. That's the vibes. That's, that's some, that's some vibes. Just a little bit. Now this is, it's 60 frames per second. I kind of like, you know, I'm, I don't know who I represent when I say that 60 FPS is like just fine for me in most things. I, but that's also because I, I have accepted this at this point that I'm not going to like, you know, get any, get any awards in Warzone or something. Warzone? That's a strange choice, but I'll allow it. Get any awards in what? Counter strike? What do people play now? Valorant? What's the Twitch shooter? I had Valorant. They're all pretty popular still. Apex still. Yeah. Apex still popular. Warzone's popular. I've accepted that I'm not going to get any awards in Valorant. I guess I'll say that. I'll say my piece as well as about this. I just, I feel like there, there was, there were other options. We know that there were other options than a mousepad. Like this, this thing looks like it was 50 cents. Looks like it was free. It looked like it was free. It looked like somebody was trying to get rid of it. It looks like they were trying to destroy evidence. Oh, keyboard. Are there any games on here? There should be games. It's 60 Hertz. That's all you need to know. Wow. Ask me the question or say it again. You actually haven't gamed on this system. Yeah, it's a 60 Hertz monitor. It's okay. But again, it really depends on the type of game you're playing. If you're more casual, you just want to be comfortable and happy. This is it. Wow. That's a strong statement ploof. 60 FPS is not even worth. It's not even worth playing. It feels weird paired with like a 3070. You can have, you can have top quality. You can have like all the ray tracing. In whoever system it's fairness, this is supposed to be a 120 or 144 Hertz monitor. But whatever issues they run into, it's stuck to 60. Huge points lost. Huge. But to be fair, to be fair, this one's not screaming at you. We haven't gamed on it. That's true. We haven't gamed on it. The other one was quiet. I'm going to game. I'm really going to put it through its paces with Rocket League. This is 1080p? Yeah. 1080p 60 with the 3070. Yeah, you're going to just everything's ultra at 1080p in every game. Is there volume control? There's no volume control? Well, that's why you have this. Yeah. Mute button. Like everybody else did. Oh, it is sticky. I mean, you kind of want this to be sticky. I'd rather it be sticky than too slippery. There's correct sticky and disgusting sticky. That's true. They didn't think about there being the correct sticky. But they apparently also didn't think about there being orange crusty because there is none in sight and honestly points off. I've gotten used to it by now. Where is the orange crusty? I just love that. How do you even look at this? Snowball. Zero overclocking. Once again. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, I can tell that it's 60. But here's the thing. Watch me get used to it in like two seconds. I know. It's one of those weird things where once you're used to 120 or higher, you need 120 or higher. But going up to it doesn't feel that different. See, need is a very strong word. Yeah. Open your heart, Nick. I believe it's a strong word. Nice. Boomer scored. It's a boomer shooter. Hmm. See, and I think I'm already getting used to the 60. I think just, and this is the thing. Have you ever heard the term? Comparison is the thief of joy. That's what this is all about. And they scored on us. God damn it. Raleigh the ****. It's not screaming. Yeah, take a listen to this. Can you hear anything? I'll turn the volume. That's way quieter. Oh yeah. I can't even hear it at all. It's not making any sound. Oh my gosh. Very nice. Wiffing it. It's like, I would have no idea that it's under load. It's probably not honestly in this game. Which again, if it's more overpowered than the monitor. We'll evaluate this again when, when, when Plooth goes on and plays cyberpunk. I'll try cyberpunk and we'll see. Okay, anyways. The 4500 whatever. It's not even a 4500G. I don't think it's just, I don't even know there's a 4500. Can you even alt for in this game? You can't. They don't let you. I hate games that you don't want to be on that for. I know. It's an esport. I know. Dota does the same thing. So it's a kind of trick. Hmm. I'm not even knowing everything. So my overall, I didn't even look at the subwoofer. The subwoofer is part of the setup that they have an upside down power bar under there. Are we supposed to talk at long length about that? David said no cables. Don't talk about the cables. Who's this guy? What's his name? It's a friend. Or her name? It's, it's just, it's a friend? It's just a friend. Yeah. Hmm. It's funny. You know, I don't like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't guess that something like that would work on me, but it does. I like that it's, I like that he's there. See. I like that I have a friend. This, this, this station sparks joy. That station sparks joy. That station sparks suspicion. That's a 14. That station sparks. This is like a 20 year old. Yeah, yeah. That's a bit more grown up. That station sparks problematic. Um, I, I don't like the ribbon though. No. That's, that's a thing. I mean, did they, did they do this to cover? Oh. Yeah. Okay. You're disassembling. Well, I didn't, I didn't know I would be disassembling. I mean, that's shoddy workmanship. They glued it on there, I guess. Wait. That's the same. That's a blue glue. That's a blue crusty. The rabbit hole goes deeper. This is blue crusty here. And so is this. Did they apply this? I thought this was like part of the mouse pad when they bought it like second hand, but this is blue glue and blue glue is here too. I figured they just took it out of a dumpster. Yeah. Okay. So they didn't apply the ribbon. The ribbon was there. Are we supposed to know that? I don't think it really matters, but it's huge. I'm pretty sure they glued that. They glued this? I'm pretty sure they glued it. I have a theory. I have a theory. I think that piece of foam was too light to stay stationary on the desk. So they added grip. And it ended up ruining the whole mouse pad experience. It's crunchy. It's technically working. The mouse pad is not working. Of course it's technically working. At what cost? A lot. Is it vibes? Yeah. I mean the vibe is off. That's what I'll say about that. I don't like that there's no volume control on the keyboard. It's here, but I don't like doing this every single time. That's a bit annoying. Even though aesthetically it's nice. And my closing thoughts really are that, as we said, this is kind of like a more adult station. There has obviously been thought put into the vibe of the workspace or the gamer space. I'm showing my internal thoughts here. I think of it primarily as a workspace and not a gamer space. That 100% is a gamer space. Hide that in the basement away from the world. This you can have on your main floor. Sure. Okay. I'm done. Ready? Excellent. Wait, you've got to try a cyber pole. We'll put it under load for a second. We'll just see if the fans crank right up. The bribes are really getting you, huh? Oh, I'm such a sucker for candy for this one later. What are we deciding, David? So there's three game benchmarks that need to have preset settings. They couldn't agree on what the settings were, so you are going to decide the preset. Okay. Oh. Okay. So wait, the framerate is a cable issue? But this monitor is capable of higher refresh rates? Yeah. A DBI can do 1.410AV. So the refresh rate issue was really like we're speeding to the end of the finish line only to trip? Kind of. That's why I don't want to have it be a game breaker, but it is a demerit. But in a race? Yes. You know? I don't know if you've ever seen a race. It's a race. Well, it depends how far ahead you are in that race. Maybe that trip doesn't slow you down that much. I mean, I would imagine that they would have been ahead with a slightly slower graphics card, but a way faster CPU. What did you say about the RAM? The RAM is newer. The RAM is, no, they look about the same because that's a G-skill. This is also a G-skill, but it's just, that's like Trident Z versus RipJaws. We can't do proper benchmarks. I guess with benchmarks, it'll tell you what the framerate is regardless of the refresh rate. Yeah. Yeah. But this is running at 3600MHz, which is way faster. So it was like 2144 or 2133. This would be like a perfect example, though, of why benchmarks only are a fraction of the story. Because for the end user experience, you're only going to get 60FBS, even if your system's more capable. Even at 60, though. I'm indoors. Let me go outside somewhere, but even at 60, this already feels better. Right? It's smooth. It looks smooth. A better CPU at 1080p is going to massively help with 1% lows. And this already feels snappy. I would guess that this is, while the screen is only putting at 60Hz, I would guess that this is closer to, like, Oh, that looks great. What? Oh, I was going to say. Well, I was just going to say because, like, yeah, the tearing and, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, even when you did that, I expect, like, because the framerate is so consistently at 60 because it's locked there. Yeah. It was like the details were staying in place. I would bet that the 1% lows are going to be significantly higher on this one. Oh, that was a really big hit. Yeah, what was that? That could just be some random pitch. I'd like to go under the street, but I don't know how to do that. Play some B-Ball. Go back. Oh, sorry. Yeah, you know, it's still quiet. Very quiet. It's still quiet. Make something explode. No, that'll take a while. It'll take a while. I couldn't load whatever because it's got the Phantom Liberty DLC and this kind of doesn't have it. Yeah, if the screen was better. This already looks like way more cyberpunk, though. Yeah, I think the screen was better. This thing would be, like, I think the easy winner for me. Editor, don't use that part. We'll have to give the scores. So what we need to decide now is what preset do you think Rocket League should be running? Rocket League? Yeah. I mean, the highest or whatever. The highest extreme. Ultra extreme dead or alive extreme beach volleyball. Red Dead Redemption. 1080p. Medium. Medium, okay. Maybe low, maybe probably medium. Please just answer that. Do you think low? I haven't played Red Dead, so I don't know. Low? I want to say medium. Medium. I think medium's a good choice. There's 3080 and the 3070. They both are good. And then cyberpunk. I want to say low. Low. No ray tracing? No ray tracing. 1080p. We do a little bit higher just so that G-Pill has a little more medium. I'm okay with medium. No ray tracing. Yeah. They're both NVIDIA GPUs and they're both pretty decent. Like 30 is significantly better than the 3070, but RT should be fine. So medium. Extreme, medium, medium. No ray tracing. Yeah. 1080p. Yeah. Hold the pickles. Yeah. That was stupid. Yep. I love it. Okay, so you guys. Sorry, can I just get a big clap right now? Oh, one person. One person clap. I'm surprised no one can. I know how the call was. Oh, I've taken one too."}
