00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,800
Many people claim to be gaming on a potato, but very few have the spuds

2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:13,840
to actually do it. And I know what you guys are thinking, Lionus. It's easy.

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:20,400
You just mash a little bitty raspberry pie into a

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,720
boom, it's done. But come on, that's

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,920
small fries. We want the full starch experience, friends. I'm talking a full

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:33,200
Windows PC in one of these. And since it's a plant, well, it's going to need

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,640
to be watered, which Oh god, we're

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,079
liquid cooling it. That's just the beginning. When we're

9
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,239
done, this potato is going to play Bother's Gate 3, Cyberpunk, Halo

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Infinite, and sponsor Segway Simulator 2000. Oh, I love that game almost as much as I

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,640
love Thorum. Their rings and watches are made from unique materials like Gibian

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,600
meteorite and ethical naturally shed antlers. Check them out at the link

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,440
below and use code LTT for 20% off. Our

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,760
biggest problem for this project, ironically, is that potatoes are very

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,479
small. So, initially we set out to find

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:13,520
bigger potatoes. But in spite of some promising leads, finding one big enough

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:18,960
to fit a full fat gaming system was a fruitless endeavor. Get it? Even our

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,040
hand selected Super Spuds are much smaller than a standard MiniITX

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:31,520
motherboard. So, we turned our attention to finding a smaller computer, and that

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:34,479
we did. Meet the Minis Forum EM680.

21
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:42,000
It's got eight Zen 3 Plus cores that turbo up to 4.7 GHz and Radeon 680M

22
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:44,159
RDNA3 graphics. It's shockingly powerful

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,759
for such a small package. The whole package is just 10 Pringles tall. We're

24
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:53,119
going to have a link below if you want to pick up one of your own. Of course, even at that size, it's not small enough

25
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,159
for us. So, we'll be taking it apart with this prototype LT precision

26
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:03,600
screwdriver, complete with bit storage and hybrid ceramic bearing top. Yes.

27
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,119
Yes, we will. Sign up for a notification at ltstore.com.

28
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:10,479
Got to love that nice strong magnet. I

29
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,879
couldn't believe how small this computer was. Originally, we had another minis

30
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,599
forum that is about 14 cm uh both directions. And that was small to me.

31
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,080
But uh when we got this one in, I was blown away. I didn't know computers came

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,959
this small. This is tiny. So small.

33
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Actually, the power of a gaming PC in the palm of my hand.

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Now I've got the power of this cooling solution in the palm of my hand here.

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay, pop that out. Oh, liquid metal on

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,319
the stock cooling solution. After the issues we had with it on custom builds,

37
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:46,000
I just never thought this stuff would go mainstream. But with the right

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,040
protective measures like these covers for the surface mount components and

39
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,280
these gaskets, it seems like manufacturers can make it work. Even big

40
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,560
ones like ASUS and Sony, it really does help you get the most out of a small

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:03,319
cooling solution. Of course, we apparently will not be using this one

42
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,319
because we like playing on hard mode.

43
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,720
Hey, there we go. Oh, cool. They've got

44
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,080
a main board up here and then they've got a daughterboard down here that's

45
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,560
handling all of the IO, including the micro SD slot. IO is um going to be a

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,560
challenge, huh? USB 4 is truly incredible. We actually only really need two USB 4s to go in.

47
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,280
One for power and one that's going to go to a dongle for everything else.

48
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,840
Now that we've got the whole thing apart, I can show you how the two boards

49
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:39,920
go back together. There we go. And that's it. CPU, 32 gigs LPDDR5 memory, a

50
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,239
terabyte of PCIe Gen 4 storage, and even USB 4. So, we could hook up an external

51
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:49,200
GPU to this thing if we really wanted to. We don't want to, though, because we

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:54,159
want it all to fit in here. So, without further ado, let's throw this little guy

53
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:59,200
into the frying pan. Figuratively, of course. Unless

54
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,640
Now that we found a computer small enough, we need to select our potato.

55
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,799
Oh, any one of these is fine. Any of these should do. I think there's

56
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:08,560
some that are better than this one. She's soft, though.

57
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,720
Uh, how long have we had these potatoes? About a month. They're a little old.

58
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,919
How about this guy? That's pretty That's a pretty good size. It's got a nice regal shape to him.

59
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,000
The It kind of looks like you. Uh, never thought I'd be asking this,

60
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,160
but what's our plan for potato carving? My original plan was to slice the potato

61
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:32,160
in half and then just scoop it out with an ice cream scoop. Oh yeah, that's what I did in all exactly all my

62
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,160
all my testing. Okay,

63
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:41,600
David's getting a cutting board right now, but the way I see it, it's not necessary. Not for a fruit ninja like

64
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,000
me. Damn, I actually kind of nailed that. This cutting board is much fancier than

65
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,120
I expected. Oh wow, cool swag, Corsair. Anyway, uh

66
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:54,320
which way do you find it's best? Um there's no method to this madness.

67
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,639
It's just madness. You'll want to be careful when you get close to the edges. Sometimes it can kind of just jump and

68
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,720
then rip some skin off. But I see of the potato or of my hand.

69
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Uh, yes. Who would have thought a potato has this much juice? Speaking of, now that we've

70
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,320
worked out size, our next problem is that potatoes are

71
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,320
well food. Uh, you know, boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. However you

72
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,160
skin them, they're not an ideal environment for a computer or any

73
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,280
electronics for that matter. How are we looking horizontally? Uh,

74
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:32,479
pretty good. Good news. Uh, reaching the IO is not

75
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,720
going to be an issue. I'm up. Yeah, like the IO's going like right to

76
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,280
the edge. Oh, wow. We chose kind of the perfect potato.

77
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:45,759
I couldn't help noticing then that I'm hollowing this out too much. Maybe.

78
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:48,800
Airflow, baby. Sure. For a water cooled system.

79
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,720
Sure. Do we have a fan? Why would you need a

80
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:56,000
fan? You're water cooling. I keep getting potato juice in my eye.

81
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,199
It's good for the skin. Sure, but is it good for your eyes?

82
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:04,400
There's an eye of the potato. It's the eye of the potato. It's the

83
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,160
keen eye among you might have noticed that we were just kind of willy-nilly

84
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:14,080
putting this thing in here to mitigate some of the risk of the

85
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:19,919
juice shorting out any of the components on our board. We gave it a a battering

86
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:24,000
like not this like French fries. uh a battering of conformal coating to

87
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:28,800
protect it from dangerous potato juices. All while being careful to leave access

88
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:30,319
to any ports or any contact pins that we

89
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,960
need for the system to function. Of course, that wasn't the original plan,

90
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,800
was it? No. The original plan was to preserve

91
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:44,639
the perfect potato for the shoot. I tried dehydrating, baking, freezing, a

92
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,840
vacuum chamber, resin, a resin vacuum chamber, but nothing really worked. No

93
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,039
matter what I did, it would rot, collapse, or just look disgusting.

94
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:56,639
I see that. Uh, so instead, we decided we're just going to yolo it, do it all on set for

95
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,280
better or for worse. Uh, you're welcome. Yeah, I'd say that's for better. Is this

96
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,919
even safe? Let alone food safe. I wouldn't take a bite.

97
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,199
Anywh who, another part of the original plan was to transplant the entire

98
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,080
cooling system from the minis form just to make our jobs a little bit easier.

99
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:22,160
But that's dead, too, huh? Yeah. It turns out problem number three.

100
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,520
Potatoes aren't very good for cooling. In fact, they're kind of good at

101
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,520
insulating. So, we had Justin, our resident mad scientist, fabricate this

102
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:32,160
absolutely gorgeous water block. You did an amazing job.

103
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:38,000
So good. Even like the design on the top. I don't know if that was intentional, but it looks really good.

104
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,800
The cold plate is machined from billet copper, and then the rest is resin 3D

105
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:47,199
printed. Now, I'm told I'm not allowed to take it apart for you guys since the

106
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:50,080
O-ring is kind of fragile, but we've got a render, and you guys can actually find

107
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,840
the plans for this in the video description if you ever need to. This

108
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,440
for some reason, uh, we ended up having to reinforce the

109
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,680
seal with some CLA to prevent leakage, but the rest of the parts are recycled

110
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:07,759
from our laptop water cooling adventure. Don't watch that video right now if you

111
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:10,960
have a weak stomach though. Or if you want to witness history because if you

112
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:18,160
want that, you're going to have to watch this video. Yeah. Okay. Moment of truth. The blocks on.

113
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,879
It fits perfect. It actually does fit

114
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:27,440
really, really well. All we've got to do is carve out some IO. You'll have to let

115
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:32,880
us know in the comments. Is it game t or put gameo? Now, David, question for you.

116
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:36,399
Do we need to get at any of the other IO or is this side enough?

117
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:38,560
That's all we need. We can power it through this dongle. We can do up to 90

118
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,120
watts. Okay. Through this. Let's give it a shot. First boot. That's

119
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,000
my computer. It's Hey, don't mock my computer.

120
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:51,040
No, I love it. From my research, I don't think anyone has actually built a gaming

121
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,120
potato. No, I didn't manage to find one either. So,

122
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,399
world's first baby, which is kind of shocking with how many

123
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,279
times it's been me'd. Yep. I was expecting to find like a hundred different YouTube videos about

124
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:05,279
it. And then there's basically homeless who's gonna just do it way better than

125
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,760
this. You can't do better than this. Don't challenge him.

126
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:16,160
No, no, no. You can plug it. You can plug it right into the dongle. Or I can plug it right into the potato.

127
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:21,200
Okay. I have proper peripherals, but for this part, we'll use these

128
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,560
proper peripherals. Oh god. How do we

129
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,680
power it on? I guess there just So there's a light. There is a power

130
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:29,360
switch. And there should be a light or there wasn't a case. Okay, there's a

131
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:33,839
light. We know we don't have the water cooling hooked up yet, but hopefully we

132
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:37,040
can at least just get a post out of it. How long does this thing take to post?

133
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,600
It doesn't take that long. Come on, turn up. Okay, it's off. That's

134
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,320
good. Ooh, it's really hot. It's really hot. That's a good sign, though, right? Uh, I mean, yeah, but also, we didn't

135
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,399
get an output. Let's get the water cooling hooked up outside of the potato,

136
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:52,640
then. Yes, real quick. Real quick. We've gone with a dual 40mm radiator, which

137
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:57,440
for this kind of thermal load should be enough to run completely passively. And

138
00:09:54,959 --> 00:10:01,440
then this adorable little pump from the water cooled laptop setup.

139
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,080
There's water all over the board. What happened? It leaked.

140
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Fudge. Uh glass half full. You guys get to see the inside of the block now.

141
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,279
I mean, theoretically, this board's conformal coated. So, that's a good point.

142
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,600
My bigger concern is just that we didn't get an HDMI output from this thing.

143
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,800
That's fair. Our contact with the die is actually not

144
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:24,720
great. It's probably fine. Just need to put some more thermal compound on here.

145
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,760
Uh, let's just test it without it being installed and see what happens.

146
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:36,160
Oh my god. Did it work? Okay, it makes that that's a sensible

147
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:42,880
picture. By the way, we're kind of bringing it back but in a more everyday

148
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,279
wearable form. Ah, coming soon to LT

149
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:50,320
store. We're going to find the leak. We're going to stamp it out. That's how

150
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:55,760
you stop a leak. You just stop leaking.

151
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,560
Oh snap.

152
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:02,000
Literal. Oh no. Yeah. How long does it take to resin

153
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,560
print a new top? I guess we're about to find out.

154
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,240
While we're waiting for our new block to print, let's talk about the advantages

155
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:15,839
of resin printing. You can do more complex shapes with higher detail. It's

156
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:18,240
low cost uh as well as much faster than

157
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:21,279
machining from acrylic. And it's just watertight, which is kind of important

158
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,880
when we're making a water block. So, it's a much better choice than FDM

159
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,320
printing. This is going to take about 40 minutes. That's pretty fast. Once we're

160
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:31,680
through that, we're going to wash it and cure it. Uh, and we're going to get back

161
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:35,440
to it and hopefully finish this today. The downside to resin printing, as we

162
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:39,680
experienced, it can be brittle depending on the resin you use. We're now using

163
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:44,720
tough resin, which should give us a little more Linus proofness. And the

164
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,000
other big downside is just it's a mess and there's fumes. It can be kind of

165
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:53,200
annoying when you're done a print just dealing with the leftover resin, getting

166
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:55,839
it back in, you know,

167
00:11:53,200 --> 00:12:02,200
watertight. Could you 3D print some water cooling tubes? Are we making a

168
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,200
video on that right now?

169
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,279
The top is not the same as the previous one that was printed.

170
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,120
Oh, I see. It doesn't have the divider in the middle, which quite honestly is

171
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:20,760
not going to make a difference. Fantastic. What could go wrong?

172
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Y'all ready for this?

173
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:27,279
Uh, these holes are really small. Are you guys aware of that?

174
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:29,839
Uh, yeah. It's Look, the blocks Well, that's why it cracked. Are you

175
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,360
aware of that? I wasn't aware of that. Oh, here. Look. Uh, Justin flew pretty

176
00:12:32,959 --> 00:12:39,760
close to the sun on the size of these holes, and you can see that's actually

177
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:44,320
probably what caused the cracking. We did a rush cure job, so the resin's

178
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:46,560
still a little malleable. Oh, well that's good. It's good.

179
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,440
This is gonna go. It's gonna go. It's a goer, not a shower.

180
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:59,320
Without it being cracked, which is a plus. Time to mount this bad boy. Now,

181
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,320
just a gosh darn second here.

182
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,360
It's not as thick as the old one, and the screws are too tall. We can fix

183
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:12,880
that. We will never be able to unscrew and rescrew them, though, cuz this will

184
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,160
mangle the threads. Oh,

185
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:19,920
hey. And we've got much better contact with the dye this time. I wonder if

186
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:24,800
those previous screws were sticking through a little bit as well. Oh, maybe.

187
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,240
There it is. That's what I'm talking about.

188
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,560
Looks like cheese. I want to eat it. It's an appropriate topping for a potato. Certainly.

189
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:38,079
Oh, man. I wish I had the foresight. What? To make a block out of cheese.

190
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Is conformal coating cool or what? The fact that we just spilled water all over

191
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,600
this board and here we are like half an hour later just using it.

192
00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:49,839
Why doesn't everything have conformal coating on it? Cuz it's expensive. It adds another step

193
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,639
and it's more difficult to repair after the fact. Oh, that makes sense.

194
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:57,519
So, there are reasons. I'm going just start covering everything I own in conformal coating.

195
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:59,680
Do you have like a spittle problem? Is there a reason?

196
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:05,199
Really excited when I game. Is there a reason your electronics get wet?

197
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:09,120
Oh, no way. I think we're good. Tough resin.

198
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:13,360
Sure. Yeah. Well, it's working. Oh, we need to make a little cutout for

199
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:18,560
the tubes. Oh, yeah. We need quite the cutout for the tubes. Oh, balls. So, David, do you

200
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,880
want to eyeball this? Sure. So, right about Yeah, sure. Okay.

201
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,480
He looks like he's got braces. Who knew a potato case could be so

202
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:33,920
modular? Man, I'm water cooling my pumpkin next Halloween. Uh, did we have any thoughts

203
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,160
for how to like seal up our case? Like, what about hot glue? Would hot glue

204
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,120
hot glue's worse? Hot glue is worse. All right. Oh, so you've actually put

205
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,760
I've tried measurable R&D in everything to try and make potatoes

206
00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:49,600
happen. If you can pull on the tubes a little bit just to Yeah. Oh boy. Oh yeah. There

207
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:59,680
we there. Oh yeah. There. Oh, there we go. Okay. A little more.

208
00:14:52,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh buddy. I mean Oh.

209
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:05,279
Oh. It's a filthy joke.

210
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:10,000
What do you expect? It came out of the ground. Oh, we need power button.

211
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,399
Oh, right. No, no, that's okay. I got a solution for that. Okay,

212
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,639
now you're speaking my my language. Power button. Okay,

213
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,800
my jankuage. So, this maybe I could cut a little spot

214
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:26,920
for it after after first. Let's make sure this thing works. Oh. Uh uh pump.

215
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Whoa.

216
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,320
All that's left then is to seal up our

217
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:37,760
potato. Oh. Uh-oh. Totally fine. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. Uh, see advanced

218
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,959
repair. No, we we got to Windows before. I bet this just boots. This probably

219
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,040
just boots. Time to seal the deal. The only thing we're missing is some

220
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:50,000
peripherals. Oh, wow. That worked really well. That immediately was like, "Yo, you're

221
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:52,320
not taking this apart anymore." Okay. Potato PC.

222
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:57,360
Okay. Okay. Does it need uh I think we need a little stand so it doesn't roll around.

223
00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:00,639
That's a potato wedges. Potato wedges. I get it. What about

224
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,040
Okay, our potato fry monitor bezel.

225
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:08,720
Oh my goodness. Wow, David, you um you

226
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:17,399
made that hash brown desk mat, baby.

227
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:17,399
Oh, what? Oh, what? Why? Oh,

228
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,480
and what better mouse to use than a potato mouse?

229
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:32,639
Did you guys get a Makey Makey or something? No, it's just it's just a mouse. They

230
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:37,759
took the insides out. I've conformal coded it and it it works.

231
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:42,800
I think I can even hear the clicks. Yep.

232
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:45,120
Yeah, there it is.

233
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Surprisingly, this does appear to be tracking serviceably. Hold on. I'm going

234
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:52,160
to launch a game. Let's play some uh

235
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:56,399
Hold on. The click is a little bit of a challenge.

236
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:02,240
I'm launching Halo Infinite. Okay, here we go. The mouse works.

237
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:06,160
Oh my god, it actually kind of works.

238
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,240
Ah. Ah. And no self-respecting gamer can

239
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:14,079
possibly complete their setup without RGB. Potato powered RGB.

240
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,199
You've got one LED lit. Yeah. RGB.

241
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:23,600
Well, is there not enough current to light more than one LED?

242
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,280
So, I actually have a battery powering it currently. Oh, it's cheating. It was really cool when

243
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:33,280
it first was put together. You're lucky I didn't have time to make the potato

244
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:36,640
keyboard. The mouse is surprisingly somewhat

245
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,360
usable. What do you think of the hash brown desk pad? Uh, it's really it's kind of unpleasant

246
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:47,360
and greasy, but LTT Store went okay. What how's our CPU doing? Uh,

247
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,799
we're at 50° right now. That's definitely warmer than we got

248
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:55,360
when we first tested the system. Okay, but we wasn't in a potato. So,

249
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,760
change of plans. We're going with Doom Eternal. The goal, one kill.

250
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,760
I was pretty impressed with the performance I was getting out of this thing. I was a little bit worried and

251
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:09,840
doomed because I was only getting 25 frames and I realized ray tracing was on. And you know what? 25 frames with

252
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,640
ray tracing. Pretty good. Oh man, my like my ARM muscles from how

253
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:20,480
hard it is to push on the click. I am getting 455

254
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,559
frames per second. Right click.

255
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Get him. Come on. Oh, did I get him? I think you did. Oh, no you No, I

256
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:30,960
didn't. Hold on. Right click. Am I Oh, I'm not Am I not on the right uh Oh,

257
00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:37,520
yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got it. Yeah. Glory kill. Glory kill. Here we go. Here

258
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:40,960
we go. Yes. Potato gaming, boys. Med

259
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:44,000
pack. Med pack. Ah, my

260
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,200
fell apart. Hold on. I got this. I can't

261
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,160
click. It's coming apart. No.

262
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:51,360
I can't click. This has got to be top 10 stupidest

263
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:57,600
things we've ever done. No. No. Top three.

264
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,919
I'm so happy I got to be here for this. And the desk mats come apart.

265
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:08,480
Oh no. Oh wow. Well, everything.

266
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Okay. But like, can we appreciate for a

267
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:15,520
moment how amazing this is? With root

268
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:19,440
access, we're managing some seriously impressive hash power.

269
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Which of us is responsible for that line? I think it was a team team thing.

270
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Sorry. It was big potato that forced us to put that in there. As much of a meme

271
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:35,520
as this project was, it is amazing, guys, what you can do with a tiny APU

272
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:38,080
powered PC these days. And I really hope

273
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:42,320
that even if this wasn't the most practical application of this, this gets

274
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:47,600
your tractor rolling, coming up with cool ideas for fitting powerful

275
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,760
computers in places that they have no

276
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:55,200
right to be, like in this, the world's first peelable case.

277
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:59,039
And in this segue to our sponsor, if you guys enjoyed this, if you like janky,

278
00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:02,880
dumb, but spectacular builds, you might like our video where we built

279
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:07,200
Compensator 4 with the most expensive consumer parts we could get our hands

280
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,200
on.
