holy crap it's episode 2 of the mail room which means that it's male room no
0:09
females girls you know let's unpack some
0:12
cool stuff that's sitting here in the receiving area and actually a pretty
0:16
special surprise that was it you were just here for that
0:20
gig thanks for your help
0:28
yeah cooler Master's new master keys Pro L
0:34
and pro s keyboards feature 16.7 million
0:37
color RGB backlighting genuine Cherry MX
0:40
switches and an industry-leading ARM cortex processor learn more at the link
0:46
in the video description so let's kick things off
0:49
with the stuff that's here for our own internal use and for some upcoming video
0:54
projects this is like hundreds of dollars and Brandon insists he needs an
1:00
kire bolt not to mention he wants a dispenser for it of this black fire
1:05
retardant cloth apparently for controlling light to which my reply was
1:10
and is always why do you make light just
1:14
to waste it do you have any idea how much electricity costs he's always
1:18
turning on lights and then putting diffusers on them and cloths covering up
1:23
certain parts of them uh we did a project recently where one of the cable
1:26
mod LED strips that we were trying to use turned out to be defective and
1:31
that's why the LTT Edition build had green lighting in it instead of orange
1:36
so they sent us Wheels upon wheels of
1:39
their RGB lighting kits so now we have all the RGB not to mention controllers
1:45
for them all oh this is great so razer's launching their core external PCI
1:50
Express graphics card enclosure and we'll be getting one very soon but of
1:55
course what do you compare something like that to well we finally got our
2:00
hands on one of those Beast uh external
2:03
PCIe things that you can plug into your laptop with an m.2 connector from
2:08
bangood.com so we're going to be running that comparison which we are really
2:12
excited about all we're waiting on now is the Razer core this is awesome so
2:17
this is actually the same motherboard that I used for a project a long time
2:21
ago why do I need another one of them you might ask because we are going to be
2:25
doing a collab with nerd Fusion you guys might know seus so seus and his gang saw
2:31
our Ballin you know storage and trans
2:35
coating setup and we're going to be building a similar machine using unraid
2:38
with a bunch of Seagate drives uh with a storinator from 45 drives.com and super
2:44
micros thrown in some hardware and uh I am super stoked on that project we're
2:48
actually going to go down to Seattle and install it for them this this is
2:53
exciting so LG sent us another uh care
2:57
package or eight so this is their 27
3:00
ud88 27in 4K IPS free sync monitor it's
3:05
got a gorgeous aluminum stand why do we need eight of them the followup to seven
3:09
Gamers one CPU is coming very very soon
3:13
this time we're going to have the machine in a server room somewhere and
3:17
we're going to be running all of our clients little Zotac um low powerered
3:22
boxes with these 4K monitors streaming
3:26
games off of the server all at the same time so they provided us a bunch of mon
3:30
for that but the big surprise for this
3:33
video and for me actually was that I asked our warehouse helper Jake to start
3:39
putting aside anything that looked like a letter addressed directly to me or any
3:42
of the LMG team um in like a FanMail bin
3:46
around the time we did the last mail room where we read that one really nice
3:50
letter from someone who watches our videos and I had no idea because he
3:53
never tells me when things arrive that this thing is freaking full holy
4:01
crap so uh let's have a look at what we
4:04
got going on here some people even sent packages so I'll use opening up all
4:08
these packages as an excuse to show off the progress on Brandon's new b-roll
4:13
area we're going to have like RGB Lighting in between these hexagons and
4:18
there's like for some reason there's like a gang plank up there that you can
4:21
walk anyway like every kid on Christmas morning I'm going to start with the
4:25
biggest one this is from Kenneth
4:30
Kenneth sent us a su receip which
4:34
appears to be one of those honeycomb pressure point reduction
4:41
things thanks Kenneth all right so maybe biggest was a mistake let's go with the
4:46
smallest package next all the way from Australia from King of soldiers $30 to
4:52
ship this thing wow people ask why it's
4:55
expensive to buy lonus Tech tips t-shirts when they live in Australia
4:59
that would be why oh once again I have
5:03
chosen poorly Dairy Milk bar with vomite
5:07
only in Australia they have resealable
5:10
chocolate bar packages in Australia what the that is awesome I guess in America
5:17
they just assume that they're going to maow down the whole freaking thing in one sitting which we
5:23
do smells okay I hope it's not just like
5:26
a big old like hunk of emite in the middle
5:30
oh what okay I think there's a less melty
5:37
side that was surprisingly edible I
5:40
don't know that I would personally pay $30 Australian dollars for them but I
5:46
appreciate that uh king of soldiers sent them to us and I will definitely share
5:50
those with the rest of the team not as bad as I thought it would be though uh
5:54

6:00

Dear Mr Sebastian I'm writing to you in your team to thank you for all you have
8:16
taught me about modern technology I have learned an overwhelming amount of facts
8:20
I would never have known I'm a 12-year-old seventh grader whenever I get home I jump onto my couch and see if
8:25
any recent video uploads are up and to see if the W show is on apart from all
8:28

8:41
Theodore whoa this is
8:44
long dear lonus I am writing to you to express how grateful I am for you and
8:49
all the LMG crew for changing my life from what it used to be a year ago to
8:53
what it is now I used to have a really difficult time at school however I
8:56
started watching some of your videos after remembering some of your n CX
8:59
videos I watched a few years ago once I started watching them on a regular basis
9:02
I learned a lot about technology and that inspired me to start doing more
9:05
with myself than just playing games which gave me a lot more self-confidence
9:09
in day-to-day life this really helped me overcome the fact that I was always
9:12
feeling quite down and become the more sociable and knowledgeable person I am
9:16
today around 6 months ago I built my first computer by doing something very
9:19
similar to Austin in scrapyard Wars 3 I'm sorry to hear that by Bridging the
9:23
24 pin on one PSU to provide enough power to the 780 Ti I put in this cheap
9:28
h workstation unfortunately the 780ti was too big for the side panel to fit on
9:33
it so I took advantage of this by upgrading the CPU Cooler to a Shadow
9:36
Rock 2 very nice here's a picture of the
9:39
computer now love it the reason I'm telling you this is because all of this
9:44
wouldn't have happened without your amazing videos and advice today I'm
9:47
still hyped for every release online as Tech tips Techquickie and channel super
9:50
