 We are doing the ultimate tech renovation for the one and only. Call me Chris. Hello. Welcome. And not to be outdone by Intel, who sponsors these upgrades for our staff. Asus ROG has sponsored this video where we will be doing everything. New TV, new monitors, new game streaming setup, wireless speakers, new furniture, RGB freaking lights all over the room. And we've only got like six hours. We are going to need some help. We are going to need some acoustic panels in here because we're going to be spending the majority of the shoot in this room. Yeah. And this is atrocious. So fortunately, we've got that covered. Yes. These are post-acoustic panels. They have a couple sets. We got the thinner ones. They have sound absorption in the front. And then on the MDF panel that this is mounted to, they actually have a dispersion ring routed into it. So it's a wave guide that helps disperse sound from a small point into a larger area. All I know is that these cover these panels because they're taller. That's terrific, because as much as this is wonderful, by the way, they did a very nice professional job of terminating all your networking here. I hope so. I don't want to look at it. No, no, it's ugly. This is and he broke it. No, I didn't. It's fine. No, it's actually looks. No, everything's fine. Oh, I don't know what that is. But it's getting covered, so it doesn't matter. Good God, I had expected this to be a lot more done. Yeah, a lot more show up and just put things on stuff. Well, that's fine. Like, yeah, I'm going to wear a toque and a hoodie because I'm not going to be moving that much. She's LTT store dot com. Oh, wait, no, you should do it. Why am I doing it? I don't know. Do you drill? She screws because she drill. We'll see. Yeah, excellent. I am really good at falling. So this is good. Don't push too hard as you go through as soon as you feel like go stop. It's hammer time. Oh, you're young enough. I'm not sure if you get the reference, but yes, I do. MC Hammer. I got it. I'm just making sure. That's good. Thank you. What is the round in for? If I recall correctly, that's for like flattening out like metal things or something. That's not a hammer that I use. Hey, Callan, is it for like leatherworking or like? No, it's a peen. A peen. One side you hammer, the other side is used for stretching out metal. Oh, OK. So like forging. Yeah, you get what you say. Well, I'm going to make you touch my peen now. This is a really fun screwdriver. Thanks. Like it like turns back and like you don't need to like keep. You know what I mean? Can you say something for me? LTT store dot com. That's our screwdriver. I'm I'm getting one logo. Oh, look at that. I like this. We did this right. Oh, look at that. Beautiful. By my calculations, it should be right there. All right. Perfect. So here's what we're going to do, which should make sense, because that's how this is. Basically, we're going to put this bad boy right here. And then we're never going to see it because it's just going to hold. Yeah. The panel are right in front here. So just a spacer. Perfect. We didn't put in drywall anchors. We did not. Wait, what the f**k? Just a constant disappointment. That's OK. Me too. OK. Oh, look at us. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Good. Perfect. This one, I do want to level. That's why I actually put it slightly above that, because you can't take for granted that whoever put this wonderful. I don't even care if he's watching. Door in here. It's probably not level. Knowing him. It wasn't level. No, I'm not surprised at all. Yeah. OK. At all. There's a lot of deficiencies. It wasn't close. I have bad news. We want it like down. You want the bad news now? Yeah. OK. They are not going to be even. Yeah, they won't. Right? Yeah, that's OK. Oh, that's fine. I'm weird. Like stuff can be weird. OK. Well, in that case, do we lean into it? Do we lean into it? Step down. I think we should lean into it. If it's like just off, I think that'd be like a little weird. So in that case, I want you to aim high. Aim high. And this one low. And this one, we aim low. Love it. Hello? Is it locked? Can I help you? Righty tighty lefty loosey. This is basically three stooges. It really is. Let's catch at this point. I've assembled a table. I've assembled coffee tables. Oh, yeah, it's too much. I need to make more friends, though, because I've just been doing it all myself. Sad. Well, I actually have a strategy for that. What's that? You just hire people. Oh, that's what you do. Yeah, I don't have. I have lots of friends. I just paid them. Oh, there we go. OK, we good? Yeah. Yeah. Right. Looks amazing. It looks so good. OK. TV. It's a 55 inch OLED. And why this? Because it's 55 inch TV. I don't know. OK. Are you going to game on it? Yeah, it's perfect for that. OK, perfect. OK. Do you like good image quality? Yes. It's perfect for that. Perfect. OK, then we're good. Awesome. 55C1 from LG. This room has a lot of natural light in it, which isn't always ideal for an OLED. Blackout curtains. Oh, really? You're going to go blackout. I mean, maybe if you think that's a bad idea. Yeah, I mean, I saw the I saw the heavy eyeliner, but I didn't take you for like like golf chick necessarily. I want the curtains to be as black as my soul. Not like I mean blackout. You know what I mean? God damn. She looks fun. OK, so yeah, that clearly goes there. Right. Does this hook underneath here? Or does that hook on top of there? That would make more sense now. You know what, Chris? Yes. Oh, got him. Yeah, this is tech workout. Supposed to be lightweight. This is the extra bit for the Arc soundbar, right? Oh, that's so cool. They have a specific one for the Arc. This soundbar is awesome. It's the best sounding soundbar that I have yet encountered. Pumped. You know what I think people should do on their honeymoon? Build stuff. Build furniture. I've said this before. Do you know how many fewer divorces we have? And annulments would go like this. But this is so That's loud. Is it supposed to go on here, though? No. Yeah. Like this. The TV is supposed to go on this. What is this? I'm so confused. What am I even looking at? Callanen! Yeah, right here. Essentially, step six, add TV mount. Yeah. OK, so the TV mount. OK. Can no go on. Yes. How the hell do I agree with this? I don't know. Wow, do you just have to like really give her? Let's go back up. Oh, it was both. This is so stupid. So you need a friend to do this. Bad news, Chris. I know. I want you to just supervise and make sure this doesn't do that. OK. BRB. Because we didn't put the screws in on the bottom. The TV could fall and I could break my phone. And it would ruin the shoot and ruin our friendship. That would be 100 percent friend loss. You heard of your first. When I next time I need to move, I'm calling. He's like, and I'm gone. I said friends, not BFFs. OK, moving. That's a big step in our relationship. OK, that's huge. Something I couldn't help noticing, Chris, is that your genius contractor didn't put like a like a conduit here. Did they know you were going to put a TV here? Yeah. OK. But they didn't suggest maybe a conduit down to where your HDMI sources. They just said, how about you figure it out? I love the water bottle. Yeah, this is ours, too. It's great. How many liters is it? Awkward thing. I only know in ounces. It's 40 ounces. I should really. How Canadian of you. Oh, you got the white one. Oh, yeah. I like it. I like it too. It'll blend in with the wall. That looks great. Cool. Oh, watch your head. Yeah. There we go. Just a little friendly head bashing in. It's fine. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, dog. It looks so good. That's awesome. We're going to do two of these big ones. Yeah. Flanking the TV. Oh, OK. So that means you got to tell me. Yeah. We're going to do one of those test your relationship things where I hold up a heavy thing. Yeah. You stand over there. Yeah. Hum and ha. Have me move it millimeters at a time. Yes. Yeah. So you're ready? Where I want it? Yeah. OK. Yeah, I'm ready. Are you feeling up high? Are you feeling down low? Are you feeling too slow? Because I feel like you're too slow. Always. I'm too close. I actually cannot see how it looks. Here, I'll switch. Oh, my God. I don't know. Right? It's hard. Yeah, that's really tough. It doesn't look bad high, but it doesn't look good. So we have two extras of the small ones. So something we could do is we could go up high and then have a small one filling in that blank space down low. How do you feel about that? Yeah, we could do that. That's a vibe. OK, let's do it. I didn't give any thought to the studsiness. Oh, true. Of what we're doing here. If we have one stud and one with a drywall anchor, that's fine. Yeah, that's fine. OK. I don't know. Let's do one next year. You're just drilling holes in my wall now. OK, we'll do three. OK. Oh, it's the wrong spot. No, no, it's all good. Can you imagine? How are we going to hit them, though? That's a great question. I'm going to try not to drill into your floor. Oh, fantastic. Big reveal. So I'm going to line that up with that. I'm going to go like this. And there's where we're going to put two more anchors. I was not expecting that. I was expecting something so much more magical, and you just punched my wall. You're like this. That's the thing about good plans. Is there what you should have done in the first place? I really wanted extra holes in the wall anyway. Yeah. Look at it this way. You were going to lose either way. You collab with a tech channel, the handyman stuff's going to suck. Yeah. You collab with a handyman channel, the tech stuff's going to suck. What matters more? Tech stuff matters more. All the way. I think I'm going to hit a stud here. Oh. That's not a stud. What the hell? How is that even possible? I'm sure it's close. What? What? He's just drilling holes and walls at this point. Oh my god, Chris. If you ever sell this place. There's going to be so many. I'm going to have to do so much spackling. No, you're going to show it. They're going to be like, wow, this house is amazing. You're going to take all your panels off. Oh, they're going to be like, what the hell is this? E5 holes in the wall. It's like constellations, right? Yeah. Oh, that's actually the great chariot race. Yeah. Of Southern Rome. It's. There's this, this. OK. Chris, stop. David, stop. I love it so much. I can't wait to take this off. And somebody be like, what the f*** is that? Hey. Yay. Beautiful. It's not level. It's not even close. What? I'm level. Yeah, that's what I was saying. This isn't level. So that's OK. We can change that. Yeah. Yeah. Everything's fine. Sort of. Yeah. Yeah. OK. It's level. Nice. Nice. OK. The audio is noticeably better in here. It's insanely better already. This is great. Which is great. Everything is working. Everything's working out. It's exciting. We are only two and a half hours in. Perfect. And we have put up acoustic panels in a TV. OK. Is that bad? Oh, yeah. We are f***ed. OK. You do have an upper outlet thing for a TV, but it's here. Yeah, I don't know. Why is it here? I don't know. Unless you're sitting like 18 inches in front of it, you're going to be right in front of the frickin' door. Nothing makes sense in this room. Why would you have your couch here in a room this size? I actually was curious to. Oh. OK. I don't know if he thought there was going to be. Because that's. There's one here. Yeah. It's like 3 o'clock already, and I just found out that we actually have to build the computer. Thank you very much, Asus ROG. Thank you. They actually sell completed computers, but their components are great, too. Yeah. You see this texture? Uh-huh. And that's not there. Uh-huh. They didn't sand down the drywall mud between the panels. Oh. It's the whole house. This is great. This is why we're getting nothing done. He's just analyzing my entire house and how crappy it is. It is. It's so obvious now. And I didn't notice it, because I'm not a painter, and he's a painter now. He's going out of his mind. This is the most rush job bullsh-t paint job that I have seen. And they painted it like three, four times, because I asked them to keep repainting it. What the f-ck is this? I can just see heads of screws. Yeah. Your paint job is so sh-t. Yeah. That we don't even need a stud finder. I bet I can find the gaps between the drywall just looking at it. And then, yeah, there should be a stud right here. Hit me. That's amazing. It's like a super bad, but it's not. OK. Please tell me it's level. Oh, it's already here. Wow. That is as level as it gets. That's really level. Wow. Now it's time for some RGB. Not an original idea. Someone on YouTube had already done this. I saw it, and I changed it to work here. But essentially, diffused plastic. This is going to go sit on top just to capture it. And then LEDs. Wow. Cool. So it has a little shelf. It's like frosted. That's awesome. Wait, you have a nail gun? Should I trust you with that? I just see final destination stuff happening immediately. OK, so I'm just going to give her right here. Give her. Beautiful. OK. I'm going to show you. Oh, no. That's why. It's smiling. Yeah. It's a happy wall. Happy vibes. This is our massaging tool. Can you just get my, I have a knot in my neck. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of a. Now that's a vibrate. Perfect. Great. There you go. Let's go sideways, maybe. We can't, because I have legs. You have legs. Oh, I have legs. I was going to check and see if she had legs. Oh, my God. This was the top of the line back when we started working on this collab. It's still really good. Still really good. 3080 Ti, it's good. 3080, that's what I had before. Yeah. It's a little bit special. It's a Ti, though. Titanium. It's also a one of one. Call me curious. I'm also curious. No, you're Chris. That's. When I got here, I was like, so do I call you, call me Chris or Chris? And she's like, oh, you can just call me Chris. It was amazing. It made me so happy. Is it supposed to smell like paint? Oh, it really does. Did you paint it? This is the only white. So that's why my gold controller hasn't been put back together yet. Look, it was either spend two hours on that or three hours taking apart a controller that Yvonne wants to melt down. It does look really good. It does look really good. You did a really good job. Thank you, Sharp. What's up? What's what? What is this? That's the Evo. So this is all the parts for the Evo. Are you freaking kidding me? There's four storage drives and all these accessories and crap. No, no, no. We're doing a vertical GPU mount. Are you freaking kidding me? This is going to take like three hours to build. This was optional. Cal and Ann. I think he's aged five years since he's been here. I see a gray hair coming in. I can't try. You know, we can't waste time anymore. We got to build stuff. I'm not going to pick out your gray hair. This is why it's taking so long. Now, I think Asus probably has some talking points for me to hit about some of these products, but ain't nobody got time to read any of them. So I'm going to make them up as I go. This is their ProArt ZSIM. I'm going to make them up as I go. This is their ProArt Z690 Creator WiFi motherboard. It's designed for creators, PCIe Gen5, lots of room for storage, tons of storage. You got like four M.2 PCIe Gen, at least four ports on this thing. We're going with the 12900K because the... Don't worry, I caught it with the foot. Because the KS wasn't out yet. I'm assuming. Yep, it's a 12900K. It's got 16 flippin' cores. Eight of them are performance. Eight of them are the other more different thing. Efficiency, we've got that CPU in there. This has got lots of heavy VRMs. You got lots of great cooling. It's DDR5, so you can run all fast. And you got PCIe Express 5.0 for your graphics card. Not that your graphics card supports it. Don't even worry about that. Chris, can you get me some memory? You're going to be my lovely assistant. Okay. Okay, memory is there. Okay, DDR5. So you go ahead and open that up while I dig through the endless piles of freaking storage that Crucial apparently provided for this build. We're putting 12 terabytes of SSDs in here. She doesn't have a server. She doesn't have, well, we could have built her a server for the cost of this. Well, you're not wrong. I want you to do a YouTube react video for me. For this? Go for it, yeah. Okay. But you want to do more YouTube stuff, right? I do do YouTube stuff. Because TikTok doesn't pay like jack shit, right? It doesn't pay. In Canada, I don't make a dime. What? Unless I do a brand deal, there's no creator fund. And I do those far and few between because I don't like filling my page up with brand deals. So I do it because I enjoy it. Even for Americans though, even when they do pay, they really don't pay that much. Wow. Yeah, it's crazy. Eat shit. TikTok? Yeah. Eat shit. Because they're making money. You know that. Oh yeah, if you go live on there, they'll take 80% of like, if people tip or anything like that, they'll take 80% of it. No. Yeah, so I don't even bother because I don't want to give TikTok. It's crazy. It's crazy. This is really cool. Okay, hey, she's doing an unboxing video. You saw it here first, ladies and gentlemen. I don't do it. Call me Chris unboxing video. Look, unboxings are a staple on YouTube, right? It's like Christmas. Thank you. You put the Chris in my Christmas. That's good. You know what? Oh my God, it's so new. It's so beautiful. Look at that. Look at that fun. Look at that. I even brought an accent out for you. Just for you. How do you like the case? It's awesome. I know, right? It's a sick. Ooh. Nice. I did it on purpose. Oh. All right, as if my anxiety wasn't already up there. Let's do the ceiling, the uneven ceiling. Okay, tell you what, yes, you can open these for me. Fantastic. Why don't you react to those? Yes, of course. I'm gonna encourage that. I don't know what to do with. So normally, your graphics card goes in like this. That's like how mine was, yeah. And then with the vertical mount, it goes like this. Right. With that settled then, you wanna go ahead and install it? No. I want this to go fast for you. You need to get home to your wife and children. These fans are super cool. What you do is you see these little contacts in here? You just clip them together like, I don't know, I don't know how to do it. There we go. Like so? Yes. And then you only have to hook up one of them. Nice. And the whole thing is powered and RGB'd. That's amazing. And it's gonna go in a little something like that. Cool, yes. Okay, the reason that I'm doing it this way is that I'm far more concerned about cooling for my GPU here. So it's 3080 Ti, this is a non-trivial piece of hardware than I am about my CPU because we're using nice fresh air to cool the CPU. This is all nicely heat-synced up here. Not too worried about it. I did wanna have some exhaust fans, but I'm also concerned about running out of RGB headers and what my wiring is gonna look like. So we're gonna go all intake and we're gonna hope that there's enough passive exhaust here that we're not gonna run into trouble because this is gonna be kind of fighting against this fan, but I want this facing this way, blowing air in, because it's easier for maintenance, it's easier for cleaning. What do you think, Callinan? Am I gonna get away with this? All intake all the time. I love that sound. It's borderline, isn't it? Yeah, remember the last time you decided to do that? I remember the last time! This is better than that time! You do have the intake from the bottom instead of from the top. Yes, I know. So you're not fighting physics on this one. Oh, that's not the difference maker. That was the difference maker? Didn't help. Callinan, who paid for this? Um. These are ball and studio. Yeah, I can see that. How do you like it so far? It's looking pretty. Yeah, I know, right? Looking real nice. Got all that ROG goodness. Okay, we'll put this in here. We are one power cable short of a powered up graphics card here, ladies and gentlemen. There should be a bag that has it. Perfect. You scared me for a second. No, you scared me for a second. No, you scared me. You scared me. No, we scared each other. Oh my God. This is like an old married couple. Always with the ageism. Okay. I'm sorry. You know what she said to me? It's just like, yeah, it's kind of cool, you know, meeting people who have been in social media forever. I said for so long. Yeah, that's so different. That's such a non-synonymous way to put it. It's a compliment. What is up with you guys? You know, on the one hand, I think you kind of like me because you're always hanging out with me in the live streams, watching the videos. But whenever you see someone take me down a notch or five, you're just like, woo! Yeah! It's healthy. It's good. His ego's just getting a little too big. You gotta knock him down a little bit. A little bit more lower than he is already. Oh! Oh, by the way, I never gave you an update on this, but I remembered there are the fans from the AIO. I didn't use these ones on the AIO. I forget why I didn't, but I put them in the top. So now we're gonna go intake along the side and bottom, and we're gonna go exhaust out the top and probably still have a little bit of positive pressure. This is gonna be a totally awesome setup. It'll be fine. I know you did the whole hairdressing thing, but did you ever do, were you an esthetician? Like, did you do nails and stuff? I was a hairdresser and I did lash extensions. Right. So, yeah. But you're like a full hairdresser? Yes, I'm a licensed hairdresser. Okay. Yes. Is there any hope for me? This haircut, you know, what would you do? You need to do something with it. I would 100% take in the sides more and then put a little bit off the top, like a solid inch off the top at least. So I'm getting a call me Chris haircut after this. Yeah. Oh my God. That'd be great. Yeah. Okay. Okay. That'd be great. And then like the little mullet thing you got going on in the back, maybe just like trim that up a little bit. The whole thing? Looks great. The whole thing is just better? This is improvement 100%. Chris, how is the last monitor still not open? These boxes are confusing. You're just watching me build the computer. I didn't want to ask. You look like you were busy. It's like child, it's Chris Purdy. Yes. Oh. That's what it is. Did I mention, thank you Asus for sponsoring this. You have Thunderbolt 4 and lots of 10 gig USB, like all the 10 gig ethernet and two and a half gig ethernet is fast. I'm so tired. I know. I'm losing my mind. We're just getting started kids. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Holy s**t. I know there's a lot. Yup. We shamelessly broke this up into two parts, but there's good news. You can check out part two now over on floatplane.com or if you're looking for some more chaotic energy Linus builds a PC with someone, I don't know, you can check out that two minute collab.
