00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:09.519
RGB power supplies RGB sli bridges

00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:11.679
RGB water cooling fittings i guess some

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:16.160
men really do just want to watch the world burn don't they

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:22.640
but if you're the type of person who wishes this RGB trend would just please

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:27.599
go away already the type of person who will keep wearing black until they

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.800
invent something that's darker well then you

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:37.200
you're in luck my nerdy nicktophile friend because today we are wiping the

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.920
RGB glee right off of a perfectly good

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:52.480
rainbow rig and replacing it with the blackest black you can get in a can

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:58.879
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.280
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:08.400
for maximum satisfaction we thought we'd start out with a build that's not very

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:15.119
black at all for our case we chose the aptly named fantex eclipse p400 tempered

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:19.759
glass glacier white and for the internals well

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:24.840
if you remember our RGB build guide whose glory you can witness here

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.640
you'll recognize all the glowtastic components that were loaded

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:32.320
inside take them in now kids because after

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:35.040
today it's lights out

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:42.079
to achieve our goal we're using a product called black 2.0 the world's

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:48.399
flattest maddest black art material from stuart

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:54.240
semple out of the uk short of using carbon nanotubes this

00:01:51.360 --> 00:02:00.320
stuff is the darkest black in a bottle and we've got lots of it

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.960
it's like a regular acrylic paint except

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:07.439
it uses a special base that allows it to hold way

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:11.360
more pigment than usual drying with a

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:14.800
super flat non-reflective finish so even

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.680
if some chipper rainbow thumper shows up

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.560
at your lan party with RGB strobe lights and a glowing fidget spinner in your

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.599
face your rig will actually be able to absorb

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.400
the fun finally a pc that's as soul sucking and

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:35.519
nihilistic as you are we blacked out the most egregious parts

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.519
of the machine first yes

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:58.879
your feeble skills are no match for the

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.040
power of the dark side

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.590
power

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.159
oh excuse me sorry

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:14.080
since we weren't using spray paint like we did in the plasti-dip pc video which

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:17.840
you can watch here we didn't have to do a whole lot of

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:23.120
masking this time around in order to protect sensitive components

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.519
instead we relied on laser-like focus

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:30.640
and a few rubber stoppers to avoid painting the motherboard headers slot

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:37.120
pins and card edges but who wants to paint an entire case using a tiny

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:40.480
filbert move over bob ross for this part

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.040
it's time to pull out the big guns

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:48.319
well relatively speaking we used a 7-inch roller to say night night to the

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:54.640
eclipse p400 i don't care how popular white is

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:56.480
back in black black back in black

00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:01.519
yeah i can't do the ac dc thing forget it and you know what actually now that i

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:05.840
think of it why stop at desecrating just one

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:07.599
2017 pc hardware trend

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.400
and we're back this is this is a really weird video

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.160
anyway with the painting done and it actually only ended up taking one bottle

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:20.400
of black 2.0 so for how much of it we bought it's

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.759
sure lucky it isn't expensive uh we were ready to put it all back

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.919
together pro tip by the way if you paint

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.520
over the legend on your motherboard use the manual to figure out where your

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:36.639
power and reset leads go leaving only the answer to the question

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:42.639
on everyone's mind does it still work

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.520
theoretically it should be fine we did

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:48.960
test our black 2.0 on a sacrificial video card before beginning the project

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:54.320
and while putting heavy paint on fan blades

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:57.280
could debalance them or slow them down a little perhaps affecting the rig's

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:03.120
thermals our expectations were high

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.039
high until they were dashed because no

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.720
no it doesn't work anymore it actually did turn on for a little bit

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:15.840
but now it's as dead as you are inside in

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:20.160
retrospect we could have coated everything with a plasti-dip primer

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:26.320
since we know for sure that plasti-dip is non-conductive but i guess we just

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.639
flew too close to the sun on this one

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:33.759
at least we only killed the motherboard since that was the only actual pcb that

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:39.680
we painted so there's still a valuable lesson for our vamp friends out there

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.720
you should be able to use this product

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.960
to black out your RAM case

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.720
video cards you pretty much name it without impacting performance or

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:55.680
operation on the uh bright side even though it's dead it

00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.400
pretty much looks just like it would have if it had worked and we hadn't worked it

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:06.800
so then enjoy this completely satisfying and

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.360
actually kind of goth footage of our finished product

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.880
i can't say enough good things about synergy it's a simple software download

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:47.840
that solves once and for all the problem of having two keyboards and two mice on

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:53.440
your desk whatever reason you have for running two computers at a time uh maybe

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:58.560
you want to test your code in multiple environments and you don't like vms or

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:03.120
maybe you've got a a work issued macbook but you prefer a pc at home

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:07.680
synergy will allow you to use the same keyboard and mouse seamlessly across

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:12.800
both of them you just drag and drop the mouse across the screen and it works in

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.720
Windows mac and even Linux and it isn't

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:18.000
even limited to just two systems you can have as many as i think we've tested

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:22.000
like five at a time they've got a basic and pro option with

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:25.599
a one-time payment and features include things like clipboard sharing between

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:29.599
computers dragging and dropping files between computers the ability to set up

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:34.240
hotkeys and more check out our link in the video description to get 50

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:36.800
off synergy today so thanks for watching guys if you

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:41.520
dislike this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed and maybe consider

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:44.639
checking out where to buy the stuff we featured whether it's hardware or

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:47.919
painting products at the links in the video description also down there you'll

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.840
find our merch store which has cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum which you should totally

00:07:51.599 --> 00:08:02.080
join back in black no back in black

00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:02.080
it's probably the closest so far
