and then there's ways to get bonus entries by sharing things on Twitter and
2:07
Facebook and all that good stuff as well so we're really excited about that his
2:10
workstation actually has a 3960x but
2:14
we're going to start with the random crap on his desk so first of all we have
2:17
an ASUS Pro art uh three oh crap what's
2:20
the model this is the 246 Pro art so this is with the 8bit panel it is
2:25
absolutely balling out Balls to the walls awesome awesome monitor for doing
2:30
all of his color work and then this is just an old synm 25 tww that he uses as
2:35
a second screen for most of the time watching YouTube videos so I'm not sure
2:39
what I think of that but I mean it's okay because he brings his own lenses to
2:42
work we actually haven't invested in any lenses yet so uh these are his this is
2:47
his super zoomed in Uber we do macros
2:51
with it like macro closeup lens and then this is sort of one of his more sort of
2:56
normal lenses he's actually got four lenses that we use all the time uh slick
3:00
and I don't know how to use the fs700 though so we're not using any of the lenses right now it's all sitting over
3:04
there and Slick's using the Canon XA 10
3:07
so there's a random SSD on his desk no idea what's up with that there's a
3:11
microfiber cloth for cleaning things there's a piece of paper with some
3:15
outlines for uh for an episode we were filming uh there's his uh compact flash
3:20
card that he forgot another SD card uh SIM phone swapper okay this is a mount
3:25
for a microphone for a camera here's a box for an HTC1
3:30
uh this is oh I believe this is an ND filter so it's got two polarized things
3:35
and you can make it either darker or lighter to allow more or less light through if you have too much light this
3:40
is his sp1 speaker from antech we actually all love these things
3:44
internally because they uh they're they produce a lot better sound than the jam
3:48
boox and it's not actually more expensive these are slicks rayb bands we
3:52
were wearing these for like a uh for like a douchebag version of Linus in a
3:56
video that we made for Samsung that we're actually going to be releasing
4:00
um on the Techquickie channel so I'm like here like this and then I'm having
4:04
a conversation with myself without the douchebag glasses on the other side so
4:08
uh so yeah that's going to be pretty fun uh we've got an SD card reader this
4:11
one's ridiculous you can't actually cut paste off it you can only copy paste off
4:15
of it couple uh thumb drives including
4:18
Kingston's hyperx thumb drive which is really fast phone charger ah this
4:23
thing's awesome we have an x-rite i1 display calibrator so we didn't need to
4:26
use it for the pro art because it came pre-calibrated but we calibrated this
4:30
just so that we could get some usability out of it he got a calculator I think
4:34
I'm the one who left this here and then this is all crap that I piled on his desk at the end of the day today when I
4:39
was cleaning something else up it's uh some AMD motherboard some I think
4:44
there's actually an Intel c yeah there's an Intel CPU in this AMD thing here so
4:48
don't worry about that uh what's this
4:51
yeah I called it a pile of crap guys but I didn't actually mean crap there's a
4:54
GTX Titan sitting here I had no idea that was there and then there's actually
4:59
three HTC phones including the 8S that we're giving away soon my 8X that I used
5:04
for my 30-day trial and then a 1s all right so here is his Uber
5:10
workstation it's a shuttle which is probably the first thing you'll notice
5:14
about it but it's very very it's a very
5:17
welle equipped well-endowed shuttle computer so he actually has uh probably
5:22
the best computer out of any of the three of us because of just how like
5:27
balling out uh this is okay so check
5:30
this out so this is an x79 shuttle so
5:33
the first thing you're going to notice when you look inside is that it has four
5:37
dim slots it also supports LGA 2011
5:40
processors he has a 3960x extreme edition six core processor
5:45
in here and you guys trust me he actually needs it unlike most people who
5:50
run six cores who are not really utilizing it to their to its full
5:54
potential I come in here all the time and this thing is pinned at 100% because
5:58
of the kind of crazy stuff he's do doing with postprocessing and all that all
6:01
that cool Jazz also he had 16 gigs of RAM in here that wasn't good enough so
6:06
you guys are going to see a little Kingston ad at the end of this video that's because Kingston generously
6:10
donated 32 gigs of RAM for his workstation so we could upgrade it so he
6:15
doesn't run out of RAM all the time but just in case he does I've actually added
6:20
check this out on this side here an MSA
6:23
SSD that is used as a dedicated page file so he has 32 gigs of RAM and a 32
6:28
gig SSD that is only used for page file other than that it does not get used at
6:33
all he also has a crucial m418 gig SSD
6:36
for his boot drive but you can't see that and a Western Digital Velociraptor
6:40
one terabyte for just general local storage and scratch disc and all that
6:44
kind of good stuff finally there's a Quadro 4000 and the reason for the
6:49
quadro 4000 is that he uses Cuda a lot in Adobe premere and after effects and
6:54
this accelerates it very very well supports all of the quadro features um
6:59
it's also single slot I needed single slot because I wanted to add this very
7:03
special piece of Hardware so check this out guys 10 gab
7:09
cable okay going into a 10 gbit card
7:13
there is a 10 gabit infrastructure going
7:16
on at Linus Media Group now we're extremely excited about it it makes it
7:21
so that he can edit things on our network storage server on the fly with a
7:27
throughput to that server to and front from it of about 600 megabytes per
7:32
second so it is faster than having an
7:35
internal raid zero array of about four
7:39
drives think about that for a minute that is over the network extremely cool
7:44
uh it's a raid six running on uh eight seate 3 terabyte drives generously
7:49
donated by seate actually when we got this thing started so uh so that's
7:53
pretty awesome and that is it that is the workstation of diesel the engine he
7:56
actually went through oh I didn't even cover his peripherals so this is a k90
8:00
that we uh that we weren't using for anything else he won't use anything that
8:04
isn't mechanical so we uh went ahead and allocated that to him and he's also he's
8:09
gone through about half a dozen mice and he finally oh I clicked it so it's
8:13
turning on but he finally settled on the steel series Z with a steel series mouse
8:18
pad he found a lot of the other ones were not very accurate when he was
8:21
working on little details if you've ever used Premiere or for that matter any of
8:25
adobe's professional level software you'll know that all the icons are
8:30
really small and if you don't click them exactly it often doesn't do what you meant for it to do so rendering machine
8:35
Let's see what he was working on today there you go he was working on a tech
8:38
quickie as well as uh oh he's working on
8:42
finding some music for something so that we can license it and uh what else was
8:47
he up to today I think that's about it so thank you for checking out this video
