 Today is a very special day. That's right. I get to show you my new rack. It's big It's hot and I just want to stuff my face in it. That's in the script. Wow You know what else is in the script? Are you lagging out while gaming? Use glassware to see what apps are wasting your bandwidth and causing your games to lag. Get 25% off at the link in the video description. Do we even have a knife? Yes. Oh no. Now that's a knife. It's conveniently line of size. Oh, actually, you know That's ladybug power right there. That's not bad. Wait, no, Jake, we screwed it up. What? Do not break down skid. Well, like at a warehouse. You haven't seen this thing yet. No, I haven't. This is hopefully Maybe one of the best things I've ever done in my life. Big shout out to Rack Solutions. Big shout out to RackSolutions.com for sending us this thing. Oh, are you serious right now? Oh my god, I thought it was covered in pink bubble wrap. I was 100% sure that I was looking at like that ESD saved. Oh, yeah, or like pink foam. Or the blue or pink kind of stuff. Yeah, this is extremely vibrant. I sent them a sample of like cloth dye that I found online that was like the most hot pink I could find. Apparently the first time they painted it, this is a new thing. They've never painted a rack this color before. They've never done this color before? It didn't quite come out right, so they've actually painted this rack twice. Oh my god, it looks amazing. Oh, yeah, wow. Holy sh- This finish is so nice. It's made in the USA so they can, you know, have hands-on with the quality control and they can do customization stuff like this. Also, this thing is huge. Well, some of us are getting work done. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm kind of a slacker. Way to be, Jake. Ow. No, I chipped it. What? I chipped it. How bad? No! Disrespectful. I know. I'm gonna tell them you're just a bad guy. Alright, two down, slacker. What do you mean? I've done three. Are you done three? Wait, is this the back or is this the front? Oh god, I don't know. I guess this is the back now because you messed it up. Oh god. Oh, that's tight. I have side cutters. How are we gonna move this? We could tilt it down. Yeah, should be fine. Yeah, let's just tilt it off that way. I don't think tilting this is a good idea. This whole skid was 290 pounds including the skid. Do you think you could deadlift 150 pounds? I think it'll be okay. I don't know if this is the correct orientation, but Okay. Are you pushing? Oh, no, I'm just kind of letting you do your thing. Are you going all the way down? Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh sugar, we're going down. Oh, it's pretty heavy. Oh look at the inside. Oh my god. This is like you go to like a car show and you see that guy with just like the balled out engine compartment Like you just had everything painted. Can you get lime green ethernet patch cables? Infinite cables can make anything. God, we're such shills. They're all out now. Now we just have to do the reverse. The reverse. Wow, these casters. Yeah. This thing is really nice. Oh, you did. You mangled it. You suck. It's legitimately not visible and Rack Solutions will send me a thing of touch-up paint anyway, right? Okay, so let's pick up this end put it on the floor and then we tilt it up. Here we go. You can do it all by yourself, right? It's actually it's a really awkward height because it's kind of too low and this is kind of too high for me. What you're saying is you should be taller, right? Okay. How you doing? You're good. You're good. You're good. You're good. Almost there buddy. Okay. Are you gonna let go at some point? Uh, no. Okay. Let's just. There. Wow. All right. Here we go. Let's ride it down the slideway. Oh, hold on. What? I think we overlooked something. Oh, the stairs. The stairs. Well, we could just put the cardboard down there. I don't think the cardboard's gonna. I want to try to lift it. You want to try? Yvonne, can you help? Oh, could we just tilt it down? I mean, it's got all this foam on it, right? Like. No, you can't lift from there. You got to lift from the bottom. I don't want to lift from the bottom. You got to lift from the bottom and use your legs. Whoa. Now they rip. Okay, fine. Okay. Let's try it. Oh, no, I can't. Ow, my foot. Oh, I came down on my toes. Yeah, I'm going to die. Oh, wait. Why don't we just tilt it down and carry it horizontally up? Because then I can hold it better. So just tilt it towards me. So I can tilt it towards you. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do that. And then I'll lift it over the steps. Yeah. Tilt thing. Hold on. Foot. It's very large. Try not to drop it. If you have to put it down. Put it down slowly. You okay? Oh, yeah. I went to stab my hand into one of the holes on the top to use it as a grip. Okay. And I missed. Okay. I've got this now. Okay. Oh, I'm going to hit the stairs. Okay. Let's go back forward. Three, two, one. Oh, no. This is a bad angle. Hold on. Back it up just a touch. Yeah. Oh, that's good. That's good. Okay. It's resting on the foam on the top stair. So now we're just going to teeter it up. Yeah, we'll slide it because we can't put it down on the top because there's no foam here. Yeah. Okay, we got this. Why didn't we bring a dolly? Just keep going if you can. I'm going to move this. Just disgusting wet mat. It weighs like 20 pounds. Oh, that's tight. Oh, yeah. Should we put something down here? It's a lot of cardboard. Okay. Ow. Stop. Ow. My hands. Ouchy. Two inches. Ow. My hands. Ouchy. Two inch gap. Nice. All right. Let's do it. Time to keep tilting. Lifting the rack. Okay. Is there any damage on that side? Are we good? There's a nail embedded in the foam. Vaughn, how do you like my new rack? Oh my God. Yeah, that's pretty tight. Oh, I don't know about that because there's a ledge. Okay. Okay, I'll brace it. You want to tilt it towards me? Ow. Ow. My finger. You okay? You're good. You're good. Keep going. Okay. Because it's going to go over the ledge. Okay. Is it over? Oh, yeah. This was too easy. Oh, too easy. Why'd you drop it? Be careful with that. No, no, I'm not going to scratch it again. I would never scratch it twice. I mean, you suck either way. Oh, it's gorgeous. We should get like a car detailer to come and polish the side of it. Wow. You know how bad you're going to feel if you ever accidentally scratch this thing? Oh, you almost just nailed the desk. Oh, sorry. Oh, no, there's a tiny dent. What? Oh, no. Oh, wow. That's really smart. We got to get the paintless dent repair guy to come. Yeah, I'm not too worried about that. Oh, I love how this rack has dual panels. Are they locked right now? They might be locked right now. Where's the keys? Just unlock everything and then lose those keys because we're never going to use them. Yeah, pretty much. Oh, it's grounded door too. Yeah. That's not really going to matter because we're not going to ground the rack anyways. Hi. The only thing that would be sicker is if these had retainers. I was all like, Jake, don't worry. I got the UPS. I got the heavy stuff. Oh, my God. No, you took the easy thing. Damn it. It's a lithium ion UPS. It weighs like nothing. Wow. Actually, the way that the two spools of wire come in, there's two holes in the top of the rack. Oh, it's almost like perfect. Naturally, the first thing we're going to install is the UPS. Now, normally, the reason for doing that would be because UPS is with their lead acid batteries are extremely heavy. And you want to build up your rack from bottom to top so that it doesn't end up top heavy and accidentally tilt over or whatever. But this is the Eaton 9PX, which we had on hand from a sponsor spot. We actually did for it recently. The main benefit aside from these lithium based batteries being, look at this, way lighter. Wow. Is that they have a service lifetime of Eaton claims about 10 years. I wouldn't be replacing this thing for a freaking decade. The thing is this puppy is only rated for around 1350 watts of power delivery. And if we actually move all the systems in the house in here, in addition to servers and networking gear, we're going to be well in excess of that. So this is going to be the first thing we install. And hopefully these are rails. How's that? They're rails. They're good. Okay. You ready to stuff your rack? This is going to look horrible and also amazing at the same time. Everyone will agree. This is going to look amazing. Even the wife? Oh, yeah. Well, I'm not going to ask her. I'm just going to assume her answer. Oh, you're wrecking the paint. Oh, no. Wait, wait. Hold on. I just lift up that side. I'm trying. Oh, rest in peace paint. Okay. It's in. That was easy. Wow. Oh, it's so cute. This is the cutest little UPS. It is eye searing. It looks it's a nice rack, man. Also, maybe don't lose these keys. It looks so out of place in this room. Oh, there goes our light. What? Ah, BMS communication lost. Can't talk to the battery management system. Hello? Here. Oh, there you go. I think the screen you can spin it if it's upside down. Oh, hey, there we go. Oh, I get it. Okay. Cool. So yeah, this is there we go. All right. I'm giving a guess. I wonder if they. What does it say? BMS com loss. Okay. This is a lot of unified stuff. Where does it all go? On the unified design center, there's like a rack design tool. So I laid it out in there already. So I'll show you that. Yeah. Holy bananas. That is a lot of unified gear. Hey, thanks ubiquity. Yeah, I had no idea they were sending all this over. What the heck? Well, we needed 10 gig and they have new 10 gig switches. So need 10 gig. What do you mean? I mean, I want 10 gig. You know, they have a 25 gig coming out. Really? So I looked up a couple people's other designs and it seems like the best way to do it is have the patch panel right above the switch. And then you can just patch in with little cables. So we just got to make sure the contractor actually puts the right things into the right patch panel. Yes. Oh, give me those cage nuts. I really want to try this. I've been waiting. I've been waiting like months to try this thing. You want these nuts? What if this just sucks? I know, right? We've hyped it so much now. I believe in you rack solutions. Okay. So you just put the cage nut in there. Oh, it holds it. Look at that. Oh, oh, God. Oh, God. Did I bend the tool? What the? You know, it might actually just be these ubiquity cage nuts. They don't really squish. Doesn't work. I was reefing on her pretty hard there. What if I let me just do one test like. Oh, hey, right. Well, we're putting them in my hand. Got to be some data center guy here that's just sitting here laughing at us. Oh, that really did shoot my finger. Only you had the LTT store screwdriver. I do. And you have this other screwdriver with a flat. You do not have the LTT store screwdriver. I have this other screwdriver that has a flat. That's not what I said. Well, this doesn't look like rails. No, those are the power cables. This is a power cable. Yeah. So that box, the redundant power system, it's a giant power supply, basically. Got it. I think it's an ATX connector. Is it 24 pins? Yeah. You plug these boys in. There you go. And then you plug them into the back of all of your Unifi gear up to six of them per one of these units. And it'll provide. I mean, how's the power redundant at that point? So most like enterprise rack mount switches, servers, whatever, will have more than one power supply. So that means if a power supply fails, you still have power. It also means you can unplug it and plug it into something else like you can hot swap. But the important bit for us is just if a power supply inside one of these things dies, it'll have a backup. Things we should have at the office that somehow ended up at Linus' house. This one go right under it? Yeah. Perfect. Oh, damn. Oh, you dropped my nuts. Oh, sorry. You dropped your own. In addition to the magnet being super strong in the shaft, we have a magnetic sit. So if you need to reach into somewhere and grab something, you can do it. Are you telling me your shaft has a strong magnet? How strong that is? The strongest shaft magnet. Look, it's a useful feature. It's one of those things where you don't need it until like you need it and you're real mad if you don't have it. Oh, you suck at putting things in racks. Oh, shut up. It's like so crooked. But it doesn't matter. Yes, it does. It totally doesn't. It looks ugly. Objectively doesn't matter. Objectively does because it looks ugly. Now, I couldn't help noticing that in addition to a dream machine, we've got one of the NVRs. We're not going to have just one other NVR. We're going to have two other NVRs. I'll walk through what a dream machine normally does. It acts as a router as well as a controller for the rest of your Ubiquiti gear and as an NVR or network video recorder. But what I'm assuming is that because we have so many cameras, we can't just use a single hard drive, which is all that the dream machine has a bay for. And that's why all of the cameras in this house or at least I think half of them are going to be 4K. And then the rest of them are going to be 1440p. So you need both a lot of capacity and a lot of recording power. When I originally specced this out, I had two 48 port patch panels. But because we're going to have two 24 port 10 gig switches rather than one 48, we're going to want to get two 24s and split it up. So leave that one empty. Oh, OK. Go to the next one. Oh, this is what we need next. 10 gig. You know what? I think the problem might just be that Ubiquiti's rack nets are kind of crappy. That's what I was saying. Can this hold me? Oh, my God. I know, but I need to be able to see a bit better. God, these suck. You entirely convinced it's not a, you know, cupcake? This is absolutely sick. I love it. Can I have a screw? Thank you. You promised me then that I can have lime green patch cables. Oh, my God. This house is going to have the most baller networking that's just not going to be used for literally months while you're waiting for permits and stuff. Why do you have to go there right now? Too real? Why would you do that? Why would you say that? The project's been delayed by like a total of, I think, five months now because of permits. Yeah. Thank you. I love you so much. That's why I live here. Just kidding. The geography was convenient. That's the only reason I'm supposed to be moved in now. Hopefully it's less than six months. Now, you might think Linus, why do you need 96 network ports? And the answer is because there's going to be somewhere between 60 and 70. Oh, you're throwing screws at me. Thank you. There's going to be somewhere between 60 and 70 network devices between all the computers in the house, security cameras, Wi-Fi access points and anything else that needs to be wired up to the rack with Cat 6A. So we've got 48 ports of just regular 10 gig with these enterprise XGs. And then we've got another 48 ports of power over ethernet. So that'll handle all the cameras. I think there's 32 cameras or something. 30 cameras. And then eight access points. So we'll actually be using 40 of those 48 ports for like active PoE devices. Does it have that power? I don't know. Probably. My rack shake brings all the boys to the yard. Oh no. Yeah, I don't really think I need this many hard drives for the NDR. Well, you can put lower cap ones. Okay. I may be able to. Yeah, these are not good. Come on. Is it in? It's in. Okay. Here we go. Oh, wow. Hey, it's on. Did you plug in the RPS too? Oh yeah, you did. Okay. So can you stick it through the hole? Yes. Very gently. Oh God. Oh no. Oh, who's ruining it now? Me. This is not a cable you can just clean with your shirt. No. Wow. I don't see a light down it anymore. Did you kink it or something? Look at this twist tie. Why is it such a huge twist tie? I'm going to have to twist this like 20 times. Oh, we got fail. Really? I'm just kidding. Oh, you piece of crap. Internet connected. Woo. Well, that was easy. Look at this shows up right away. Unify network app. I was already logged in because I have Unify crap at home. Are you logged in the right one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. New console found. Dream Machine Pro. Not near. You're not my mom. I'm your dad. Oh my God. Now I don't know why it says distance not near. It's talking about like Bluetooth distance. Yeah. But I was like, yeah, I was right there. True metal rack. I don't know. I don't know. Sure. Whatever. I'm going to call this house of dreams because it will never be a reality. Thank you. I log in and it immediately starts doing an internet speed test. Loving that Telus pure fiber. I've had a lot of bad experiences with Telus. Don't consider this an endorsement, but their pure fiber is really fast. Man, look at that. It's perfect. Yeah. So I guess we better. Oh, yeah. Okay. You are connecting other stuff to it already. Look at you go with the 10 gig adapters. So these ports actually are technically 25 gig. But what I found out is if one of these is set to 25, they both have to be. So then we can't do a 10 gig between these two. This one's 25. So sick. I know. Right. I'm so excited. I just want to touch it. I'm really a toucher. I guess it's time to time to ditch the POE injector. We can just plug the access point in directly. Oh, buddy, look at this. Oh, yeah. Look at how mint this tucks in here. Everything is great. Ow. House of dreams. Is that what you called it? Yeah, because that's never going to be real. Nice. Yeah. I'll change it to House of Reality when I move in. Wait, is that a touch screen? Don't you have some of these at home? Yeah, I just didn't think they were touch screen. They're all touch screen. What do you mean? That's the whole point. Oh, we can set these to pink. Oh, it changes them all. What? That's awesome. That is some nerdy, nerdy shiz right there. And some guy spent like a week on that. The NVR and NVR Pro both showed up. OK, wait, don't adopt it yet. Oh, I clicked the button. I'm sorry. Did it let you adopt them both at the same time? Uh, no, I think it's one at a time. Which one are you doing right now? The Pro. You got this. I'm adopting the other one now. Hey, Linus. What's up? You're adopted. So you're not my real dad is what you're saying? I'm not your real dad, no. No. OK. You don't have a dad. This can be my daddy. So I think this is everything. We've got our redundant power supply, our 48 port switch, our 24 port switches, the UDM Pro. I know why the UPS isn't working. Why? Look at this. I just did this while the UPS was on. You see this connector right here? It was disconnected before. It's clearly not power. It's like sensors. But I plugged it in and that works. I forgot. This is quite a bit more complicated than just plugging this into the power leads and 24 volt transformer. And there's a dongle that goes on it. I don't think we're doing this today. See you later, buddy. So the idle power draw of all this networking stuff is 0.2 kilowatts, so 200 watts. What? We're pulling 200 watts sitting here doing nothing? Yeah, well, there's one AP. It's a good thing we're saving all that power on the lighting. Yeah. Jake pulled about, I think, what, 2000 watts worth of incandescent lighting out of the living room. Each bulb, 150 watts. Replace them all with LED and probably went from 2000 watts down to maybe 200. Yeah. Let's see what the Wi-Fi is like. 250. This AP is also very directional. So 350, 360. That's directionality.
