1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hi, I'm Judge Nickel, and I'm honestly not expecting too much.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I've seen previous Scrapyard Wars before, and given those videos, it's not very impressive.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
It's on a budget.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Yeah, so my expectations are on the floor.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
If they can get me something that's usable, fully usable, then I'll be pretty impressed.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Yeah, I'm Judge Plouffe, and I think it's going to be close.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Luke and Linus are both really good at scrounging up deals and kind of scrapping stuff together, so I don't know.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
We'll see. I don't know, man.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I just got to see the setup. I got to try it. I got to experience it.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
What do you think is going to win? What do you think has a better chance of winning?

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Because you know the teams, right? No, I know it's Luke and Linus, but I can't remember.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
I know Elijah's with them, but who are the assistants?

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It's Luke and Eli and Linus and Sammy from Labs.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,000
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.

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
I feel like Luke and Elijah's setup is going to be more creative problem-solving.

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:24,000
I feel like Linus and Sammy's setup is going to be more aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable, usable.

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
There are a lot of points for both aesthetics and creativity and whatnot, so yeah, I think it's going to be really tight.

18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, I'm excited to see it.

19
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Do you know what their budget was and everything? No, I have no idea.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
David just told us just ahead of time.

21
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
He said it's $700 and then $100 on Java.

22
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So it's not a lot considering that's monitor, mouse, keyboard, desk, audio, whether it's speakers or headphones.

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,000
With that plus a whole computer system, that's a tight budget.

24
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
What are you guys going to focus on in terms of judging? What does Nicole want and what does Poof want to see?

25
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
I want a comfortable, usable system.

26
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Something that works and isn't scraps thrown together.

27
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I don't want it to be obvious that they went to the scrap yard.

28
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I want to feel like... That's the title.

29
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:28,000
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.

30
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,000
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.

31
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:43,000
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.

32
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And I want decent gaming FPS.

33
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
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.

34
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
They can't have these weird, bad 1% lows that feel like a stuttery mess.

35
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I am Riley Murdoch. Do I tell you what I do?

36
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I'm a tech link, I'm a newsman. And a judge for today.

37
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And more importantly than that, I'm a judge.

38
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That's part of my identity even more.

39
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
What are you going to look for today? What are you expecting out of today's judging?

40
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Well, I'm probably less of a technical person than maybe Poof, for example.

41
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
So it's going to be more vibes-based evaluation on my part.

42
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
It's been a long time since I built some PCs in my day.

43
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Don't get me wrong, but it's been a while, so I don't know.

44
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I don't even know what the kids are building now.

45
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Is there RGB in there? Do they do RGB?

46
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
The computers turn on. I don't know anything else above that.

47
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
That's number one, is that it should turn on. So that's what I'll be looking for.

48
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
And then everything else beyond that, bonus.

49
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
What do you think is going to have the best one if you have a prediction?

50
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
My guess would be that Luke is the legitimate winner.

51
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But Linus maybe eventually wins by arguing that he should win until we give it to him.

52
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
He's going to find some loophole in the documentation in the rules that actually allows him to win

53
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
despite breaking every rule at every stage, probably.

54
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
I don't know anything about how they filmed this, but if there's humor involved,

55
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000
I guess if there's something funny involved in the build, I'll weigh that heavily.

56
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Okay.

57
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
It's the exact opposite, but also practicality.

58
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I'm not one for crazy decorations and stuff.

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I want it to be a normal PC.

60
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Don't go out of your way to do fancy water cooling or whatever.

61
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000
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.

62
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
You're here in the final stretch of Scrapyard Ports, and we have our three experts,

63
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Nicholas Plou, our displaying keyboard expert.

64
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Nicole Young? Nicole Young.

65
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Nicole, you are an aesthetics expert and Riley.

66
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Yeah, I hoped you were going to say something, but okay.

67
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Regular guy. I'm a guy. I'm a dude.

68
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
All right. Wait, can I be Vibes?

69
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Keyboard display. Yeah.

70
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
What were you again? Aesthetics. Aesthetics, Vibes.

71
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Vibes. Vibes. Vibes.

72
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Shouldn't the vibes go first then? What? Yeah.

73
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
No, the vibes are like the cherry on top. You're each giving an individual score on each category.

74
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Yeah. So let's start. You don't know which system is which, right?

75
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
No. Excellent. I have no idea.

76
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Why don't we start over here? You have to go stand up there by the... Cutest PC count is not part of this.

77
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
What? Oh, okay. Yeah.

78
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Let's judge the cutest PC again. And Linus and Luke can't be here while we're judging, right?

79
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Because then Linus could pull the Linus thing and just...

80
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no.

81
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
You're rating it wrong because I'm your boss.

82
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000
As a reminder to the audience and our judges, the scoring is based on aesthetics for 25 points,

83
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
sound for 10, stratagem for 25, effectiveness for 40, which results in a sweeping score.

84
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And that will be the score that most matters today.

85
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I love that you called it stratagem. I needed to make the acronym work.

86
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Stratagon. Nicole's trying to figure it out.

87
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
What the acronym is? Yeah. Did you get it?

88
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
ASSE? ASSE. ASSE is.

89
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
What sweeping score? ASSE is. ASSE is.

90
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Nice. Look, I'm not good at my job.

91
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
All right. Who wants to judge first? Oh, okay.

92
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Cool. What do we... Oh, this is it.

93
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
This is it. I thought this was something somebody left here by accident.

94
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Wow, that's impressive. I'm really impressed that they have a chair this time around.

95
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
I'm just going to go ahead and take a seat.

96
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Okay. Oh, did you just judge previous one?

97
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Interesting. Not bad. Not bad.

98
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
A lot better than I expected, honestly.

99
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Oh, okay. This is a short person friendly.

100
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
I like that. The keyboard.

101
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Yikes. Where'd you get this? What's wrong with the keyboard?

102
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Tell me about that. Oh, geez. This feels...

103
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Can you give me the... The keyboard feels...

104
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Yikes on the keyboard because... That's in the full sentence.

105
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Oh, yikes. The keyboard does not feel clicky at all, but also not thawky, not aesthetically pleasing,

106
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
actually kind of crusty.

107
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Is that like orange dried up goop I see?

108
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Ooh. Yum. I don't know about that one.

109
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
It is functional, I guess.

110
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:20,000
There's like a ton of hot keys you could use, but not very aesthetically pleasing.

111
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Are we allowed to like boot up a game or something? Yep.

112
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Ooh, can we boot up a game? You're looking at settings. You can...

113
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Don't change settings, obviously, but... Yeah. Oh, okay.

114
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Steam isn't signed in. Oh. I thought this was just a...

115
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
They weren't... I thought it was just the tower. I didn't know it was gonna be on set up.

116
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Yeah. That's great. Wow.

117
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,000
That's a nice monitor. That's a pretty nice monitor that they got for this budget.

118
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Did they... Is this bribery? Absolutely.

119
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Interesting. How do we split that three ways?

120
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
You can take it two or five. You know what else?

121
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000
I don't even care to change it anymore. We could get maybe a small slurpee.

122
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Okay. I don't know if it'll be against one.

123
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:09,000
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

124
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
they're trying to hide something. You are allowed to move the desk, if you so please.

125
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
The desk. Okay. Be careful of cables.

126
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Don't yank a cable. Yeah. It looks like it's very yankable, which, again, what are they hiding?

127
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Oh, geez. This desk is like...

128
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Not like... Okay. Are the judges allowed to help each other?

129
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
This is part of your evaluation. Oh my gosh.

130
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
What are they hiding?

131
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
I see a pretty decent air cooler in there.

132
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,000
What is that? Should I just move it?

133
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Yeah. Cool. Cool.

134
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Do it where you're at. Now we're right before... They're judging the other system right now, so...

135
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
I mean, maybe you don't need to see the PC so much. It's still on, right?

136
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Okay. Cool.

137
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Interesting.

138
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Airpods. What GPU is this?

139
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
What were they thinking with that thing?

140
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
They got a 3080 in here. With that factor.

141
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Yeah. A 3080?

142
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
What the heck? What? Who did they steal this from?

143
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Oh my God. What was their budget?

144
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
700 total. Or 800-ish. What?

145
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Yeah. Oh, wow. Dang.

146
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Wow. They definitely wrangled this off some unsuspecting person.

147
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Probably, you know, took it from Kyle. Yeah.

148
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
That's taking candy from small children. Found some kid on Facebook.

149
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Yeah. They probably swindled a grandparent out of something that they didn't know they had.

150
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Oh no, that's the 3080. That's bad. I bought this 4050.

151
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
See how the first number started? That was audio stuff.

152
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
It's fine. Okay. Cool.

153
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Yeah. I said I unplugged something. I don't know what.

154
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Oh yeah, unplugged something? Okay.

155
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
These headphones are also orange crusty. What?

156
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Where is this coming from? The garbage bin.

157
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
It's extra flavor. Of course.

158
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
How did your ears come off with orange crusty?

159
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:31,000
What is orange crusty? There's like this mysterious orange crusty stuff on the headphones which matches the

160
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
mysterious orange crusty stuff on the keyboard.

161
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
At one time, orange crusty was all the rage.

162
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,000
There were commercials for orange crusty. Where you just slather yourself in it and game for the best performance.

163
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
You don't want to be the loser kid at school. Ask your mom to buy you orange crusty.

164
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Now better than blue crusty. Speakers I'm also pretty impressed by.

165
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
We could play the sound for all three of you at once.

166
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
This team also has a headset. So we could listen to both and you could decide which one's better.

167
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
We'll score based on the better sound. Sure.

168
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000
I would love to not put on the headphones. If that's an option.

169
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
All wearable. Okay, cool. Nice.

170
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Play some crab rape. Yeah, that sounds great.

171
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Sneaking. No need to be afraid of a little orange crusty.

172
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
I don't know about that. I love it as a noun.

173
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Orange crusty. Did I break it? It's possible.

174
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Uh-oh. Oh. Oh.

175
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Oh. Wow. We're going to start at well a minute.

176
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Yeah, sure. Yeah. We will only evaluate how good each setup is.

177
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
This is not at 100%. I can boost it to 100%.

178
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000
I'm playing crab rape. I don't even know if it needs to. These are pretty good.

179
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Yeah. Wait for it.

180
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Yay. There it is. That's not bad.

181
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Yeah. Let's boost it to 100%. That's not bad.

182
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I'm sure. Wow. Is there some distortion in the very low?

183
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Probably. There's so much low end that I think it's distorting a little bit.

184
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
That's why I don't buy it.

185
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Oh, gee. That's not bad. That's not bad.

186
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
I'm sure. Wow. Is there some distortion in the very low?

187
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Probably. There's so much low end that I think it's distorting a little bit.

188
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
What? Wow. Just rude.

189
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Anything? Nicole, you're ready to... They're a chable.

190
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
They know how to do. They know how to do a lot of stuff. Chable.

191
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Chable. Chable? Chable.

192
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Chable or chable? I have no idea. It's like a Korean mega conglomerate.

193
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Nicole, you can prod it. Are you ready to give your score?

194
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
I am ready to give my score. Excellent. Please take a step back, and Nicholas, go and inspect.

195
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Please. There's some odd stains on the chair.

196
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
I'll sit down anyway. A different variety of crusty.

197
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Yeah. They're... There is a small variety on the table.

198
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Or is that just them saying that's what they had left over?

199
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Maybe. I think it's both, yeah.

200
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Okay, 1080p screen at 144Hz.

201
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Okay, so this is a gaming monitor.

202
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And then for specs, what do they get?

203
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
They've got an R7 1700 8-core processor.

204
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
It's old. But it's an R7. Oh, wow.

205
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
It's a Ryzen 7. That's not bad. I mean, 3700 would be a lot better.

206
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000
But, you know, they've got a budget. What kind of memory do they have here?

207
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
It's definitely not going to use XMP.

208
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
It looks like two 8-gig sticks running at 2133 MHz.

209
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
So pretty slow DVR4, but that's okay.

210
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
You know, they're gaming on the budget. And then for storage, one terabyte SSD.

211
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
That's kind of like the bottom line for a proper gaming PC.

212
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
So that's pretty decent. And then what do you do? Yeah, it is an RTX 3080.

213
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
I don't know how bottlenecked a 3080 is going to be by a 7200X,

214
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
especially a 1080P, but we'll have a game on it to find out who gained on it.

215
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,000
No, we're going to do benchmarks. We already have some benchmarks, but we're going to do benchmarks.

216
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000
This is more just about...

217
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
This keyboard here. I got it. Oh yeah, that's the good stuff.

218
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
You change your mind. We're going too slow.

219
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Yeah, it's okay. Don't go faster, but we don't really need you guys.

220
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I was going to depend on... Actually, we probably do, so you can test the mouse with the keyboard.

221
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
We should do that. That's kind of what I was going to say. Just real quick.

222
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Just real quick. Okay, it's not signed into Steam.

223
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Well, that's an issue. Can you just sign into my account, but do they have game on here?

224
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
They should. Which ones? Why are they signed up though?

225
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
I don't know. I'll just say the chemistry on it. Okay, that's fine.

226
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Do you know if there's a save anywhere for Metroid?

227
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
I don't. Oh, Rocket League. Nice.

228
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Okay, sure. Oh, I was going to play Rocket League. I don't know.

229
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I'll play. I'll play. Honestly, I'm impressed by the speakers.

230
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
One thing that I don't think the Cole Touch Fund is... Looks like they've got it back here.

231
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Wow. Or something? High-five stereo audio amplifier.

232
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Okay. It's just an amp. It's not an amp.

233
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It's just an amp. Still, though, to drive these massive bookshelf speakers.

234
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
I don't even know if you can call them bookshelves at this point.

235
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
I'll try to hold the chair.

236
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
They're bookshelf speakers for a real academic.

237
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
They got the thick books. Is that the next generation version of QuickBooks?

238
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Thick books? Thick books.

239
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
What do you mean?

240
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Thick books. When you're pulling some big numbers.

241
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Is this still for accounting about what?

242
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I'll change it to speakers.

243
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Oh. My favorite. My favorite.

244
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
My favorite. My favorite. Oh.

245
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Oh. All right. There you go.

246
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Okay. There's an iPhone. That's an iPhone.

247
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
That's an iPhone. There it is. Okay.

248
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I'm not... You know... Headphones aren't amazing.

249
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
But they're not bad. And they got a mic. So...

250
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
You can game. This looks terrible.

251
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
This is a 2x... Video.

252
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Ah, that's why. But it's not even 1080p.

253
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Okay. That's better.

254
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
How's the texture of the orange crunchy?

255
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Wait, Krusty? Orange crunchy. Okay.

256
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Okay. That's better. How's the texture of the orange crunchy?

257
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Wait, Krusty? Orange Krusty. They do feel Krusty in general.

258
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
These are not the most comfortable... I mean, of course, they're okay.

259
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
But the material is so old.

260
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Is this the very beginning of the game?

261
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Nope. Oh, no. Okay.

262
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
You know... Oh, wow. It's not the best monitor I've ever used.

263
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
But for the price point that they got to...

264
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
That's not bad. I want to just try to...

265
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
I'm not going to do this for too long. You're going to really hear the fans...

266
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Yeah, it's spinning up.

267
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
That's why you've got the speakers and phones.

268
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
You're like, turn the game volume... Turn the game volume up.

269
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
There's a lot of stuff you want to hear. There's some good details.

270
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
I thought that was coming from the game at first. I was like, oh, wow.

271
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
This is a very impressive... Turn around. There's something behind you.

272
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Oh, it's your PC. One second. After...

273
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Can someone go with their mic stand right next to it? And then just have one be quiet! for a second?

274
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Can you... You picking up on that? I'm not monitoring that.

275
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
You're not monitoring me? Yeah. Don't I matter to you, Blush?

276
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:20,000
I'm not even doing it. Go ahead.

277
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Shh. It's just got louder while I was doing it.

278
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I was like... It's a bit of a blurry message.

279
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
It's trying. It's screaming. It's screaming.

280
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
It's responsive enough. That's a good question.

281
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
That is, like, strangely loud.

282
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Sorry, it's not my turn yet.

283
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000
That's better, but now it feels like the frame's lower.

284
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,000
What did you do? I turned motion blur off, which helped with the low FPS.

285
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
But now I can definitely tell that it's much lower FPS.

286
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Okay, that's not bad.

287
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
There's some Corsair case with, like, no front-air floats

288
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
over the top vents. They've got, what, one rear exhaust fan.

289
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Can I look at cable damage?

290
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
No, take two on this. You need to take a break. It doesn't really matter anyway.

291
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
It doesn't matter. No cables or cables.

292
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
I agree. I just wanted to... I really like the desk.

293
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Say something. I think, in this instance, I'd actually probably go under

294
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
a slung keyboard, but now I feel like there's a slung down here.

295
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000
There's a lot. Okay. Just to insulate the sound of...

296
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
There's a sound fan down here. I actually like the desk.

297
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
There's an answering board. It's got a bunch of cable runs here for cable management

298
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
or something, if you want to put it there, I guess.

299
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Those are cup holders. They're cup holders? No, that can't be a cup.

300
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
You've got to know that one. It's too small for a cup holder. It's a Vegas Yard cup holder.

301
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Anything could be a cup holder with proper imagination.

302
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Okay. Okay. The keyboard is absolutely garbage.

303
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
The monitor is perfectly adequate. The speakers are decent.

304
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
The mouse... Actually, I don't know what the mouse... You know, it seems okay.

305
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
It's a... What? Rock that?

306
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
No. Yeah. Z-Long or whatever?

307
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Yeah. Z-Lang. These are okay.

308
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
And I love the Zin-Mang mouse pad. Do you have a mouse pad? They could not have a mouse pad.

309
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
I think I've got a good idea. Excellent.

310
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Please take a step back. Please take a step back while Riley assesses the system.

311
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Okay. Hmm. Hmm.

312
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
The vibes. How can we describe the vibes here?

313
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:41,680
I mean, I'm feeling like early 2000s high school students who somehow managed to get a hold

314
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:49,000
of their parents' credit card to buy these massive speakers.

315
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,560
And this... I mean, I want to take another look at the keyboard because, yeah, wow, that orange crusty

316
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:01,000
definitely is high fidelity up close, so that's got some crust on it.

317
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,160
It's a membrane keyboard. What is this thing?

318
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Oh, you can switch to game mode. Okay.

319
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,480
Very cool. Media controls.

320
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:22,120
This is something that's purely vibes. It's just a window to display nothing.

321
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:27,840
That's just to give some lighting to your dark gamer cave, I guess.

322
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:35,600
Okay. Vibes. We already talked about the monitor, 144 hertz.

323
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,560
I'm just going to jump into trying Rocket League because that might give me going.

324
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:49,560
I love Rocket League and I like how it disrespects me as a keyboard and mouse player.

325
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,400
Do you play Rocket League, keyboard and mouse? Of course.

326
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,880
PC, PC gamer master race, et cetera. I play Rocket League with a controller.

327
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,840
I tried switching to controller and I just couldn't do it.

328
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:09,440
I'm okay with my skill being capped at pretty good.

329
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,040
Are you going to put on the headphones? Oh, yeah. Yeah, headphones.

330
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,040
It's a great experience. Are we on the speakers right now? No, they're on the headphones right now.

331
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,540
Okay. Why don't you listen to the headphones and give us the experience? We need someone to...

332
00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:26,440
Oh, the crab rave? It does not have to be crab rave, but it's...

333
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,440
Oh. Oh. Okay.

334
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:38,640
They feel very light, which is a plus in my book if you're wearing these all day.

335
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,160
Clamping force isn't bad. What model is this? It's a Corsair.

336
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,160
Do we already say that? Yeah, it says it's a Corsair. I don't know what it is.

337
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,160
It's Corsair something.

338
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,360
I am slightly concerned by the tinge.

339
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:56,080
The color tinge on them? Is it... Oh.

340
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,520
I didn't even notice that.

341
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,600
It's a wheel that doesn't work.

342
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,600
You can only go up, which honestly, vibes points for that.

343
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:19,320
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.

344
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,160
Although wait, it's still like super quiet.

345
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,120
Oh, is there an inline volume? Oh, it's on the back of the headphones, I think.

346
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,800
Oh, okay. There we go.

347
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,600
And that's not doing anything. I think... Oh, no.

348
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,160
No, it is. Oh, no, it is doing something. It just doesn't control Windows.

349
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,320
It's just as in headset.

350
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,080
The amp here, it's only powering the speakers, right?

351
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,640
That's fair. That's fair. Okay.

352
00:24:49,640 --> 00:25:00,400
Okay to all. Let's just do, well, I don't want to go online, play offline.

353
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,640
Can I do bots? Yeah. 3v3 bots.

354
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:09,840
Yeah. Okay. PC is really just screaming in pain, huh?

355
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,840
That's too loud. Okay, wait. Yeah.

356
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,840
I'll listen to the sound. Yeah. Oh, the FOV.

357
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:22,000
I can't see anything, but that's not the setup's fault.

358
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:29,400
Okay. Well, this is very smooth, obviously. I mean, like, we've got a 3080, 144-hertz screen.

359
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Oh, I completely whiffed it, but it's not about this.

360
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:44,800
I mean, I could see, once I start gaming, anytime people are talking about, like, fancy

361
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,120
keyboards, oh my gosh, don't show this.

362
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,600
Anytime people are talking about fancy keyboards, as soon as I actually start gaming on what

363
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,720
is ostensibly a bad keyboard, it's like, pfft, works fine.

364
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,880
You don't need a controller, Ploof.

365
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Something would beg to differ. You're pretty good.

366
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,160
You're also very okay with this membrane keyboard, which I feel like-

367
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:15,080
It felt so bad. Yeah, isn't a great representation.

368
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:23,240
Isn't a great representation? Isn't a great representation of the general preferences of what people use as peripherals.

369
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,240
If I missed this- You can do it. You can do it.

370
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Oh! What? Oh, boy!

371
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:35,600
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?

372
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:41,000
I want to look at the PC for one second, because this is very loud.

373
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,240
One thing that's irritating to me as someone whose desk is on the set where we film is

374
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:54,520
a loud PC. I cannot abide a loud PC, and this one is very loud.

375
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Yeah, like Ploof said, there's not even any fans in the top, so all of that sound

376
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,400
is coming from- It can't be coming from the GPU, right? I think it's the CPU cooler.

377
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,400
It's the CPU cooler. I think so. There's one exterior-

378
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,400
One rear fan. One rear fan. Careful.

379
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,800
Yeah, I think I only see one fan in the front, but-

380
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,800
The RAM's not lighting up. Does that impact your vibe score?

381
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,000
The RAM's not lighting up. The RGB RAM. Are we not using it?

382
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
It's recognizing. Yeah, it knows what it is.

383
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,440
I'm actually kind of surprised. That's the problem we haven't been using the RAM.

384
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,080
The vibes, yeah. Okay, so aesthetically, I mean, you were supposed to talk about the aesthetics.

385
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,000
Did you talk about the build aesthetics? We didn't really-

386
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
It's really basic. I want to lift it up. You have to turn it off.

387
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Just turn it off. Just lift it up. Oh, wow.

388
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,880
You're so strong. It's all red all the time.

389
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:57,240
Yes. I kind of liked something a little, something a little more.

390
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,120
I mean, if the RAM is light up RAM.

391
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,200
They're also not showing it off at all. They just shoved it in a corner.

392
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:11,360
Yeah. It's like, if you're putting this forward to be judged, why are you hiding in a corner?

393
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:14,600
Right. Shine your light. Don't hide under a bushel.

394
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,160
There's so much desk space. There is so much desk space under the desk.

395
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,680
This is a big desk. You could easily put that up here.

396
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,600
So I mean, minus some points for shame on their part.

397
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,800
You alluded to there being a reason for there being foam under the desk.

398
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
So it was a free desk. Sure. There's the foam under it.

399
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,480
And on the back panel of that desk, there was a lot of suspicious splatter.

400
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,480
Oh. So we're really confused as to the whole situation.

401
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:51,280
Very good. They don't know how to make assumptions. They were, you know, doing painting projects down there.

402
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,920
They didn't want their parents to hear. Exactly. It's from an office.

403
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Oh, OK. So that makes it better or worse. You decide.

404
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,920
From an office? Like a church that stands at the desk where they slept underneath.

405
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,080
They didn't want their snoring to escape.

406
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,080
Overall, vibes. I mean, what was the budget?

407
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:13,400
800. Overall, vibes. I mean, for $800 for this complete setup, that's not bad at all.

408
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:21,200
The total is 610 US. I'm feeling positive vibes at this moment.

409
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,600
All right. Don't give your scores yet. It's time to go look at the other system.

410
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,600
Get that in your head. OK. It's time to judge the second system.

411
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:35,440
Nicole, you are up first. Immediately, this looks way better to me.

412
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Like it's so comfortable. You've got some personal effects.

413
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,240
Look at that. Look at that little penguin. It's so happy to see me.

414
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,920
You know, the chair, it doesn't look sketchy at all.

415
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,920
I feel comfortable and well-supported.

416
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,280
Oh, my goodness. See, they're showing off their system.

417
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:02,040
It's nice and clean. There's no sign of any orange crusty anywhere.

418
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,720
You know, there are even more personal effects. Oh, that's so cute.

419
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:13,120
There's candy. See, this is a station I would be happy to sit at and use.

420
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640
Look at that. I'm very impressed.

421
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,640
Let's see how it feels.

422
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,640
So right off the bat, the monitor is much less impressive.

423
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,320
But it's cute. I like it.

424
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,320
What's much less impressive? Oh.

425
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,480
But it has 3D vision.

426
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,240
It does have 3D vision. Did you get your glasses from home?

427
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:48,880
Just my regular ones. I don't understand what's going on with this mouse pad, but.

428
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,320
There has to be some kind of crusty.

429
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,320
It's sticky?

430
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,040
There's, OK, one second.

431
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040
Oh. That's something.

432
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,040
That's something. Blue crusty. Blue crusty.

433
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,640
That's the blue crusty. Ah, the elusive blue very interesting.

434
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:16,160
I guess that does provide grip.

435
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,160
You don't want to be sliding around too much when you're gaming.

436
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Hmm. I'm guessing that was glued.

437
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,160
We've got some nice speakers. Yeah. Oh, wow.

438
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,240
Oh, this is a little sticky, but, you know, very usable.

439
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,240
Lots of grip.

440
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,000
Keyboard is a lot more impressive. Wow.

441
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:44,320
This feels, wee.

442
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:50,120
This feels way better than the previous one. Looks way better, way cleaner.

443
00:31:50,120 --> 00:32:01,240
There still are hotkeys, so for that price point, you too can have a clean keyboard.

444
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,920
Very nice. The mouse is great.

445
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,000
Mouse is very fancy. I would say.

446
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,240
And then there's a nice blue microphone as well, the blue snowball with a cute little

447
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,240
bow. Very nice. Very nice touches.

448
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:21,560
Oh my gosh. The RGB isn't just red.

449
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,200
They took the R out of the RGB they put in the B.

450
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,200
I'm very impressed, wow.

451
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:35,000
So nice. So clean. And they even put little decorations on the desk itself.

452
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,560
Wow. Very nice. Nicole, do you think you have enough information to give a score?

453
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,560
I think. Please take a step back. Nicholas.

454
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,480
We're going to call you Nicholas.

455
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,680
I want to know whether those bows and stuff were added by them or by, or that was already

456
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,680
part of it. They were added. Nice.

457
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,680
Oh. Oh. That's what it was.

458
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,680
Interesting. Well, it's a 1700. So I'm not super surprised.

459
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Yeah. Keyboard is nicer. It's still not mechanical, but it feels better and newer and it's both Logitech G105 and

460
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,680
I don't know what mouse this is. G402. But.

461
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,680
Proteus. Feels pretty good. It's definitely, I'm guessing 60 hertz.

462
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:18,680
It should not be 60 hertz.

463
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,680
It should be higher.

464
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:29,680
That's what he was doing.

465
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,680
Go to NVIDIA Control Panel.

466
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,680
Oh, sauce me one of those candies.

467
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,680
Sauce me. Beer me a candy. Nice.

468
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,680
Oh, I'm going to take a purple too.

469
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,680
I'm going to be talking around the candy in my mouth.

470
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,680
That's why I go first.

471
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Yeah. The board is very basic.

472
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:03,680
That is a super basic brown board, but I can see he's got a lot of stuff.

473
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,680
But I can see he's got an NVMe drive.

474
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:13,680
Well, it could be SATA, but it's probably NVMe.

475
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,680
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

476
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,680
is preventing it from being that. So you can only judge it at 60 with consideration.

477
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,680
Oh, interesting. Can I tell that to the camera and everything?

478
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:33,680
Sure. A cable issue. It's supposed to be able to do 144 hertz, but because of whatever cabling issue they're

479
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,680
running into, it's only doing 60. So I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to judge it based on that.

480
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,680
It's an older monitor, so it's probably, could be DVI or VGA or something.

481
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,680
So that's going to be a problematic issue.

482
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,680
It's a 4500, all right?

483
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,680
Wow. Does the 4500 have on board graphics at night?

484
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,680
Question for you. Did you say KVI or did you say DVI?

485
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,680
No, you didn't. Yeah, I just heard it wrong. 60Hz and RAM as well, but this one's running at 3,600 megahertz.

486
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,680
So I don't know if that one just didn't have XMP enabled, and this one does, because that

487
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,680
was G-skill memory, and it looked nice, so I'm surprised.

488
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,680
Maybe they just forgot, but this one's got it turned on.

489
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,680
Some points there. HDD. It's got extra storage.

490
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:25,680
700 gigs, that's a weird one. Storage or whatever, but then yeah, this SSD, oh, so it's just a boot drive.

491
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,680
This machine has a 256 gig SSD?

492
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,680
Yeah. 750, where's the other one? It's 500 gig SSD.

493
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,680
I thought I read one terabyte when I was reading some specs over there.

494
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,680
Just cut that out here if I said one terabyte.

495
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:46,680
240, 256 gig SSD is going to lose a good point, because I personally really don't think, really

496
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,680
avoid it on a budget, try to not put games on an HDD.

497
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:54,680
They're really starting to get slow now because of the new, the way games are being developed

498
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,680
but otherwise, I mean, yeah, specs look decent, what's the GPU?

499
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:05,680
37. That's honestly not, I mean, yeah, it's worse than the 3080, but like, at 1080, that's actually

500
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,680
not bad. I'd take the better CPU, six cores, but it's probably running a lot faster with higher

501
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,680
IPC gains, considering it's 4,500 or not.

502
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,680
First-gen Ryzen. It's such a disdain.

503
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,680
First-gen Ryzen. First-gen Ryzen was cool, but it wasn't that good.

504
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,680
It really wasn't until second and third-gen came out.

505
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,680
That's a solid cooler master. It looks like a Hyper 212 black RGB edition.

506
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,680
That could be wrong, but it looks like correct. And then we've got some, what, G-skill rip jaws.

507
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:38,680
It's solid memory. I mean, honestly, I would like it nicer motherboard, but it's quiet so far.

508
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,680
We've got to try the speakers, I guess, at a fire.

509
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,680
The speakers, they're much smaller than the huge, huge shelf towers that were over there,

510
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,680
but it's trialling. It's trialling?

511
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,680
You don't need that much. Those are very small. They're very tiny, but maybe they're strong.

512
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,680
But they have that cool control interface. Yeah, they do.

513
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,680
That Nicole said is sticky. It very much doesn't matter.

514
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,680
See, size doesn't matter. It's a performance.

515
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,680
Vibes. Vibes. That's what matters.

516
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,680
This mousepad, it's awful.

517
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,680
I hate the noise it makes.

518
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,680
Oh, wow. Yeah, it's like catching. It's like start to pill.

519
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,680
It's the bottom that's catching because it's sticky.

520
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,680
Oh, that's not even the top. No, it's the bottom. It's the crusty.

521
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,680
It's the crusty. It almost comes back to the crusty.

522
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,680
He's got a better mic than what's on the headset over there.

523
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,680
That's for sure. But I don't know. Is it trying to send audio to the Eddie right now?

524
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,680
I don't know. I don't think so.

525
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Oh, yeah. I just had to hit the mute button on our handy-dandy little

526
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,680
kind of fire room boat here.

527
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,680
I can tell you right now, there's not going to be as much bass,

528
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,680
but I bet these will sound okay enough. There's a subwoofer on this one.

529
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,680
What? Oh, wow. Where?

530
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,680
Oh, he hit it right down here. Oh, wow. Very clean.

531
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,680
I will say, I also like how the desk has storage.

532
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,680
Oh, yeah, one does not, yeah. One does not.

533
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,680
This is a little smaller, but I'll take the storage any day.

534
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,680
But here you don't have nearly as much room to put your legs in

535
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,680
all sorts of weird configurations, probably. Yeah.

536
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,680
But you also don't need the ice. Let's pause the audio.

537
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,680
Well, get to the drop, but say these things without the audio plan.

538
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,680
I don't think the sub is doing anything. Yeah, it doesn't seem like that.

539
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,680
It's doing something. It's doing something. Do you want to crank it?

540
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:36,680
Whoa. It's got a lot of power.

541
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:44,680
I feel like that had more power than the other one. You know, those old speakers, they're just not that good.

542
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,680
These are bad. I think they're pretty similar.

543
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,680
Which is crazy to say. Yeah, I know, because they're so tiny, right?

544
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,680
But that's okay. Yeah, over the other things.

545
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,680
I love how much, you know, it's a smaller desk, but there's storage involved.

546
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,680
A little separator here, so you want to put something here, your candy,

547
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,680
and this one, that's great. I also mentioned zero overclocking for gaming every day.

548
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,680
So it's going to be nice and stable, allegedly.

549
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Yeah, I've got to say, I think, oh, I'm so torn.

550
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,680
I hate that this is stuck at 60. It's really killing me that this is stuck at 60.

551
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,680
And if they're having trouble getting it to sort itself out,

552
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:33,680
actually do 144, I can tell you right now, the average person is going to be more trouble making it actually do 144.

553
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,680
I think it's the better computer, but I think it's ultimately an average monitor.

554
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,680
I think I'm ready. Can we look at the back to figure out what the, like,

555
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,680
are we only supposed to vaguely know it was a cabling issue?

556
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Like we say, why? I don't know.

557
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,680
What's DVI? It is DVI. Oh, I see.

558
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,680
Okay. So it might just be that. So cables weren't part of the budget.

559
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Oh. Oh. So I don't want to, like, penalize too hard if that, maybe it's a DVI thing,

560
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,680
but it's also, they didn't get an adapter. Sure.

561
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,680
So that's their bad. So even then, it isn't like this is an older monitor.

562
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,680
Yeah, that's a better monitor. That's a much better monitor. It's fine.

563
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:22,680
So I don't feel they need to change anything. We got a DP 1.4 AK thing going into a dongle to DVI.

564
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,680
That's not their fault. That's not their fault. What do you mean it's not their fault?

565
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,680
I'm confident. That's something they had to think about when they were, what do you mean?

566
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,680
They should have thought about it. They should have thought about it. They should have thought about it.

567
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,680
They should have thought about it. Their own dongle. No free lunches here.

568
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,680
Question for you. Linus was trying to convince me that those are cables.

569
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,680
And I was very clear. I think those are adapters.

570
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,680
Are those connectors adapters or cables?

571
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,680
Those are adapters. Yeah. I'd say they're adapters.

572
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,680
DVI cables going to adapters. Yeah. I agree.

573
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,680
Yeah. It's conclusive. It's conclusive.

574
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,680
It's conclusive. It's conclusive. It's conclusive.

575
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:02,680
Okay. So I had some immediate thoughts upon coming over here.

576
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:08,680
Just like the vibe is immediately more welcoming just because of the high contrast between

577
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,680
the dark peripherals and the PCs and stuff and the lighter desk.

578
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,680
Over there we got a darker desk and dark peripherals.

579
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,680
It just kind of looks like, I think the word is dink.

580
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,680
And over here, the vibe is more, a lot more welcoming.

581
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,680
This is like, as Nicole was saying, this is a place where I could conceivably sit down

582
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,680
and want to sit down and use the computer, you know?

583
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:39,680
The bows don't do anything for me, but I can understand someone being like, ooh, a bow.

584
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,680
I want to do some work now. Or gaming.

585
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:48,680
What were my other thoughts?

586
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Is there no headset? There was no headset on this one.

587
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,680
It was not a requirement. Just some form of audio. It was a requirement.

588
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,680
Well, sure, sure. But I think that like, I don't, I mean, I don't know.

589
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,680
I know that a lot of people like to game with speakers and stuff, but as someone who has traditionally

590
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:08,680
lived with someone else in my, in my space, headphones would be appreciated.

591
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,680
But, you know, to each their own, I guess. If anything, I would expect that one to not have headphones instead of this one.

592
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,680
This one looks like you've taken, you've taken the, how it appears to other people into account.

593
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,680
What were you saying? The mic is going to have issues when you don't have headphones here.

594
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,680
Right. Because that's going to give us a bunch of audio from the speakers. Yeah, yeah.

595
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,680
It's going to have fun talking to your friends on Discord while you're trying to game.

596
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,680
Is this model? Let's go ahead. It really depends which games you play though.

597
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,680
If they're more relaxed, more casual games, maybe you don't need the headphones.

598
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:46,680
Fair enough, fair enough. In terms of the build, I agree with, is it, was IU Nicole who said that the RGB is.

599
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,680
Yeah. It's not just red.

600
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:57,680
And it's like the, the light on the CPU call, the light on the CPU cooler is a light blue.

601
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,680
It's, it's optimistic. It's making me feel happy.

602
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:05,680
Then we got some, I guess this color on the GPU is changing a bit.

603
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,680
That's the vibes. That's, that's some, that's some vibes.

604
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:15,680
Just a little bit. Now this is, it's 60 frames per second.

605
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:22,680
I kind of like, you know, I'm, I don't know who I represent when I say that 60 FPS is

606
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,680
like just fine for me in most things.

607
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,680
I, but that's also because I, I have accepted this at this point that I'm not going to like,

608
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,680
you know, get any, get any awards in Warzone or something.

609
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,680
Warzone? That's a strange choice, but I'll allow it.

610
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,680
Get any awards in what? Counter strike?

611
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,680
What do people play now? Valorant?

612
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,680
What's the Twitch shooter? I had Valorant. They're all pretty popular still.

613
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,680
Apex still. Yeah. Apex still popular.

614
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,680
Warzone's popular. I've accepted that I'm not going to get any awards in Valorant.

615
00:43:54,680 --> 00:44:00,680
I guess I'll say that. I'll say my piece as well as about this.

616
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,680
I just, I feel like there, there was, there were other options.

617
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,680
We know that there were other options than a mousepad.

618
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,680
Like this, this thing looks like it was 50 cents.

619
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,680
Looks like it was free. It looked like it was free.

620
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:19,680
It looked like somebody was trying to get rid of it. It looks like they were trying to destroy evidence.

621
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,680
Oh, keyboard.

622
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,680
Are there any games on here? There should be games.

623
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,680
It's 60 Hertz. That's all you need to know.

624
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,680
Wow. Ask me the question or say it again.

625
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,680
You actually haven't gamed on this system. Yeah, it's a 60 Hertz monitor.

626
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,680
It's okay. But again, it really depends on the type of game you're playing.

627
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,680
If you're more casual, you just want to be comfortable and happy.

628
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,680
This is it. Wow. That's a strong statement ploof.

629
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,680
60 FPS is not even worth. It's not even worth playing.

630
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,680
It feels weird paired with like a 3070.

631
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,680
You can have, you can have top quality. You can have like all the ray tracing.

632
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:05,680
In whoever system it's fairness, this is supposed to be a 120 or 144 Hertz monitor.

633
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,680
But whatever issues they run into, it's stuck to 60.

634
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:15,680
Huge points lost. Huge. But to be fair, to be fair, this one's not screaming at you.

635
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,680
We haven't gamed on it. That's true. We haven't gamed on it.

636
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:23,680
The other one was quiet. I'm going to game. I'm really going to put it through its paces with Rocket League.

637
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,680
This is 1080p? Yeah.

638
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,680
1080p 60 with the 3070.

639
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,680
Yeah, you're going to just everything's ultra at 1080p in every game.

640
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,680
Is there volume control? There's no volume control?

641
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,680
Well, that's why you have this. Yeah.

642
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,680
Mute button. Like everybody else did. Oh, it is sticky.

643
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:50,680
I mean, you kind of want this to be sticky.

644
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,680
I'd rather it be sticky than too slippery.

645
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,680
There's correct sticky and disgusting sticky. That's true.

646
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,680
They didn't think about there being the correct sticky.

647
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:07,680
But they apparently also didn't think about there being orange crusty because there is

648
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,680
none in sight and honestly points off.

649
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,680
I've gotten used to it by now.

650
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,680
Where is the orange crusty?

651
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,680
I just love that. How do you even look at this?

652
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:28,680
Snowball. Zero overclocking.

653
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680
Once again. Oh, oh, oh.

654
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,680
Yeah, I can tell that it's 60.

655
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,680
But here's the thing. Watch me get used to it in like two seconds.

656
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:45,680
I know. It's one of those weird things where once you're used to 120 or higher, you need 120

657
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,680
or higher. But going up to it doesn't feel that different.

658
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,680
See, need is a very strong word. Yeah.

659
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Open your heart, Nick. I believe it's a strong word.

660
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:59,680
Nice. Boomer scored. It's a boomer shooter.

661
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,680
Hmm. See, and I think I'm already getting used to the 60.

662
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,680
I think just, and this is the thing. Have you ever heard the term?

663
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,680
Comparison is the thief of joy.

664
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,680
That's what this is all about. And they scored on us.

665
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,680
God damn it. Raleigh the ****.

666
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:21,680
It's not screaming. Yeah, take a listen to this.

667
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,680
Can you hear anything? I'll turn the volume. That's way quieter.

668
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,680
Oh yeah. I can't even hear it at all. It's not making any sound.

669
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,680
Oh my gosh. Very nice. Wiffing it.

670
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,680
It's like, I would have no idea that it's under load.

671
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,680
It's probably not honestly in this game.

672
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,680
Which again, if it's more overpowered than the monitor.

673
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,680
We'll evaluate this again when, when, when Plooth goes on and plays cyberpunk.

674
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,680
I'll try cyberpunk and we'll see. Okay, anyways.

675
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,680
The 4500 whatever. It's not even a 4500G.

676
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,680
I don't think it's just, I don't even know there's a 4500.

677
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,680
Can you even alt for in this game? You can't. They don't let you.

678
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,680
I hate games that you don't want to be on that for. I know. It's an esport.

679
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,680
I know. Dota does the same thing. So it's a kind of trick.

680
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:12,680
Hmm. I'm not even knowing everything. So my overall, I didn't even look at the subwoofer.

681
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:19,680
The subwoofer is part of the setup that they have an upside down power bar under there.

682
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,680
Are we supposed to talk at long length about that?

683
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,680
David said no cables. Don't talk about the cables.

684
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,680
Who's this guy? What's his name? It's a friend.

685
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,680
Or her name? It's, it's just, it's a friend?

686
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,680
It's just a friend. Yeah. Hmm.

687
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,880
It's funny. You know, I don't like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't guess that something like that would work

688
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,680
on me, but it does. I like that it's, I like that he's there. See.

689
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,680
I like that I have a friend. This, this, this station sparks joy.

690
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,680
That station sparks joy. That station sparks suspicion.

691
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,680
That's a 14.

692
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,680
That station sparks. This is like a 20 year old.

693
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,680
Yeah, yeah. That's a bit more grown up.

694
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:11,680
That station sparks problematic. Um, I, I don't like the ribbon though.

695
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:16,680
No. That's, that's a thing. I mean, did they, did they do this to cover?

696
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,680
Oh. Yeah. Okay.

697
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,680
You're disassembling. Well, I didn't, I didn't know I would be disassembling. I mean, that's shoddy workmanship.

698
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,680
They glued it on there, I guess. Wait.

699
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,680
That's the same. That's a blue glue. That's a blue crusty.

700
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,680
The rabbit hole goes deeper. This is blue crusty here.

701
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,680
And so is this. Did they apply this?

702
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,680
I thought this was like part of the mouse pad when they bought it like second hand, but

703
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,680
this is blue glue and blue glue is here too. I figured they just took it out of a dumpster.

704
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,680
Yeah. Okay. So they didn't apply the ribbon.

705
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:55,680
The ribbon was there. Are we supposed to know that? I don't think it really matters, but it's huge.

706
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,680
I'm pretty sure they glued that. They glued this? I'm pretty sure they glued it.

707
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,680
I have a theory. I have a theory.

708
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:08,680
I think that piece of foam was too light to stay stationary on the desk.

709
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:14,680
So they added grip. And it ended up ruining the whole mouse pad experience.

710
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,680
It's crunchy. It's technically working. The mouse pad is not working.

711
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,680
Of course it's technically working.

712
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,680
At what cost? A lot.

713
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,680
Is it vibes? Yeah.

714
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:31,680
I mean the vibe is off. That's what I'll say about that.

715
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,680
I don't like that there's no volume control on the keyboard.

716
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,680
It's here, but I don't like doing this every single time.

717
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,680
That's a bit annoying. Even though aesthetically it's nice.

718
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:51,680
And my closing thoughts really are that, as we said, this is kind of like a more adult station.

719
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:59,680
There has obviously been thought put into the vibe of the workspace or the gamer space.

720
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,680
I'm showing my internal thoughts here.

721
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,680
I think of it primarily as a workspace and not a gamer space.

722
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,680
That 100% is a gamer space.

723
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,680
Hide that in the basement away from the world.

724
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,680
This you can have on your main floor. Sure.

725
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,680
Okay. I'm done. Ready?

726
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Excellent. Wait, you've got to try a cyber pole. We'll put it under load for a second.

727
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,680
We'll just see if the fans crank right up. The bribes are really getting you, huh?

728
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,680
Oh, I'm such a sucker for candy for this one later.

729
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,680
What are we deciding, David?

730
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,680
So there's three game benchmarks that need to have preset settings.

731
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,680
They couldn't agree on what the settings were, so you are going to decide the preset.

732
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,680
Okay. Oh. Okay.

733
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,680
So wait, the framerate is a cable issue?

734
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,680
But this monitor is capable of higher refresh rates?

735
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,680
Yeah. A DBI can do 1.410AV.

736
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:58,680
So the refresh rate issue was really like we're speeding to the end of the finish line only to trip?

737
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,680
Kind of. That's why I don't want to have it be a game breaker, but it is a demerit.

738
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,680
But in a race? Yes. You know?

739
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,680
I don't know if you've ever seen a race.

740
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,680
It's a race. Well, it depends how far ahead you are in that race.

741
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,680
Maybe that trip doesn't slow you down that much.

742
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:27,680
I mean, I would imagine that they would have been ahead with a slightly slower graphics card, but a way faster CPU.

743
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,680
What did you say about the RAM? The RAM is newer.

744
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,680
The RAM is, no, they look about the same because that's a G-skill.

745
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,680
This is also a G-skill, but it's just, that's like Trident Z versus RipJaws.

746
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,680
We can't do proper benchmarks. I guess with benchmarks, it'll tell you what the framerate is regardless of the refresh rate.

747
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:48,680
Yeah. Yeah. But this is running at 3600MHz, which is way faster.

748
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,680
So it was like 2144 or 2133.

749
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:58,680
This would be like a perfect example, though, of why benchmarks only are a fraction of the story.

750
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:03,680
Because for the end user experience, you're only going to get 60FBS, even if your system's more capable.

751
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,680
Even at 60, though. I'm indoors.

752
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,680
Let me go outside somewhere, but even at 60, this already feels better.

753
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,680
Right? It's smooth. It looks smooth.

754
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,680
A better CPU at 1080p is going to massively help with 1% lows.

755
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:26,680
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,

756
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,680
Oh, that looks great. What? Oh, I was going to say.

757
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,680
Well, I was just going to say because, like, yeah, the tearing and, yeah, yeah, yeah.

758
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:41,680
But I mean, even when you did that, I expect, like, because the framerate is so consistently at 60 because it's locked there.

759
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,680
Yeah. It was like the details were staying in place.

760
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,680
I would bet that the 1% lows are going to be significantly higher on this one.

761
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,680
Oh, that was a really big hit. Yeah, what was that?

762
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,680
That could just be some random pitch. I'd like to go under the street, but I don't know how to do that.

763
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,680
Play some B-Ball. Go back.

764
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:04,680
Oh, sorry. Yeah, you know, it's still quiet.

765
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,680
Very quiet. It's still quiet. Make something explode.

766
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:14,680
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.

767
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:19,680
Yeah, if the screen was better. This already looks like way more cyberpunk, though.

768
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:25,680
Yeah, I think the screen was better. This thing would be, like, I think the easy winner for me.

769
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,680
Editor, don't use that part. We'll have to give the scores.

770
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:35,680
So what we need to decide now is what preset do you think Rocket League should be running?

771
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,680
Rocket League? Yeah. I mean, the highest or whatever.

772
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,680
The highest extreme. Ultra extreme dead or alive extreme beach volleyball.

773
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,680
Red Dead Redemption. 1080p.

774
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,680
Medium. Medium, okay.

775
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,680
Maybe low, maybe probably medium. Please just answer that.

776
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,680
Do you think low? I haven't played Red Dead, so I don't know.

777
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,680
Low? I want to say medium. Medium.

778
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,680
I think medium's a good choice. There's 3080 and the 3070. They both are good.

779
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,680
And then cyberpunk.

780
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,680
I want to say low. Low.

781
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,680
No ray tracing? No ray tracing. 1080p.

782
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,680
We do a little bit higher just so that G-Pill has a little more medium.

783
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,680
I'm okay with medium. No ray tracing. Yeah.

784
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,680
They're both NVIDIA GPUs and they're both pretty decent.

785
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,680
Like 30 is significantly better than the 3070, but RT should be fine.

786
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,680
So medium. Extreme, medium, medium. No ray tracing.

787
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,680
Yeah. 1080p. Yeah.

788
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,680
Hold the pickles. Yeah. That was stupid.

789
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,680
Yep. I love it. Okay, so you guys.

790
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,680
Sorry, can I just get a big clap right now?

791
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,680
Oh, one person. One person clap.

792
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,680
I'm surprised no one can. I know how the call was.

793
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,680
Oh, I've taken one too.
