 So if you've been following the exploits of Linus Media Group for any extended period of time, there's a good chance you've come across this tour of our previous headquarters, as well as this series of videos chronicling our move into a larger, more modern office. But while we did make a video showing our editors upgrading their workstations for the new editing den, we didn't, aside from thanking Nvidia for sending us Titan Xs for the new machines, get into the specifics of all the other hardware and everything that goes around them, and we've received a lot of requests to take a deeper dive into the hardware that our editors use to do their daily work. So without further ado, here we go. Thank you. Ba ba ba da da da da. Corsair's RMI series power supplies feature premium components for great performance with very low noise. Check out the link in the video description to learn more. Okay, editors, come with me. We have to collect all of your peripherals. I call an MX master. Nope. Can you guys just calm down about the MX masters? Okay, so everybody gets a Silverstone headphone stand. Silverstone headphone stands for all. Oh, yay! Everybody gets a new keyboard. 910 for you. Makeup stack because I'm handing you more stuff before we leave here. 910 for you, Dennis. I don't know. I picked not a 910. You picked a G710+. Yes. Oh, I actually did too. Oh, you have yours? Everyone has a keyboard? Rock on. Okay, mice. The only fair and equitable way to divide the MX masters. Okay, so, Ed's out of the running. You want simple. Hyperion or the G303? I want the G302. You want a Hyperion? Okay. Well, I don't know. Whose remains? Brandon? Okay, well then you got an MX master. No! That's BS. Everyone else is out of the running. You guys have already got your mousepads. Headphones! Who picked the Momentums? Not me. No, Taren didn't pick Momentums. I picked the back ones, although I like these ones. Oh, well look who didn't pick them. You picked HD8 DJs. You bet. So you legitimately get one of those. I repped them. I want one. So these are open-backed, but badass. Who will take those? Taren wants. Taren ordered one. The editing room is so loud. They're fine, but I can hear all of you guys talking all the time. Dennis, you had said you liked these, right? No, you don't like it. You want me to have it? Yeah, yeah, okay. No! I still have an HD6 mix. Okay, I'll try it. No, done deal. Alright, next up! Everybody gets a Siren Pro Elite! Oh, really? You mean that thing that broke my monitor? You broke your monitor. It's not the Siren's fault. Berkel, I think you're out of here. Okay, cool. I'm gonna go sell all this stuff. Oh, are we done? I think you're done. Yep, you're out of here. Okay, I'm gonna pooter on out here. Beep beep beep. Is this our USB audio? Yep, sort of. Oh no, I forgot about those. Okay, that's fine. Can I just... Pick up your mic. Santa, you're so slow! Everyone, meet me around the other side. Oh, I got you, David. One of these. One of these. We are getting all the shit stacks. I already have shit stacks. Magni and MoeD2s, well don't go away yet. Okay. Magni and MoeD2s for all. Okay, right, and everyone... Okay, back around to the other side! Here's the power adapter. Thank you. You have one of these? Well, uh, maybe. No, you got put back, Taren. Oh. Okay, there. You have everything, Berkel. You're done. Thank you. I have everything in the world. Done? Is that it? Yeah, you guys are done. Yay! Oh, this is here. Ho, ho, ho! This is one forgetful Santa. First of all, here's your desk organizer. Uh, second of all... I call not that one. Okay! iOne Display Pro Colorimiters for all! You can calibrate your monitors. So enjoy your colorimeters, everyone! Don't you need to check everyone? This is so much value in all these Christmas presents. This is like the best Christmas ever. The best? It's not even Christmas. Even better than that Christmas where I got the glue. I made all of those creepy times on Linus' lap worth it. Hahaha. Hahaha. HDU on 650s? Sit on my lap a little longer, Ed. Hahaha. So we're putting up this wall decal. That's great. It's only slightly less crooked than Dennis' Iron Man face. Mine's cooler. We may have gone over budget. Yeah. It's not the 90s. What do you need a calendar for? So... Fractal Josh got this done. Did you ask Kimberly Schultz if he could do an unauthorized print? I did not. Okay, so my order came in from DFTBA. I see Dennis has this weirdo. It is actually pretty cool, but Linus said no desk ornaments. Okay, all the stuff I bought is all useless. That doesn't help your case any. I thought I told you you were supposed to do the wall in front of you. Who's ever said that? That's common space. Oh, no it's not. Literally no one has listened to anything I said about this. And your desk is a mess. Would you check out this photograph? Because honestly every time I do, it makes me laugh. Someone else missed the memo about not having the wall next to them. What else is that wall going to be creative? I got the most things for my money I think. Actually you did too. Yes, I've got. So the first big upgrade from Need4SeatUSA as well as UpDesk.com is in the furniture department. So everyone got office comfort or dominator chairs. You can see that everyone's equipped with, if they were listening, the orange and black versions of the aforementioned chairs. But some people went and ordered black ones anyway. It was supposed to all be orange and black for LTT. And equipped with a height adjustable desk. So these are good for a couple of reasons. Number one is that they allow you to change to a standing height throughout the day. If you just want to move around and get more comfortable. You can see we've also got these mats from Costco so that your heels and the balls of your feet don't get fatigued from standing. And then the other thing that they do is they allow you to sit at a height that's most comfortable for you. So you can see that Dennis and Edzel both prefer very different heights even for their seating position. So the other cool thing is that you can actually program different heights. So you just hold it down and as long as there's no obstacles under the desk, yep, we're good. Then boom, this is Burkle's sitting height which is obviously not very comfortable for me, but that's the whole point. And everyone being a special case I guess leads us pretty well into Taron's workstation. Where the first thing you'll notice is he removed the armrest from his chair. I also like to scoot up as close to my desk as possible so that I can rest my arms on it rather than my armrest. And the second thing you'll probably notice is that he has three monitors. Unlike everyone else in the company who was just fine with two 31 inch 4K monitors. So LG kindly provided one extra monitor for Taron to put scripts or whatever else on. But most people are equipped with two 31 MU97 monitors. These are true 4K monitors. So they're 4096 by 2160, not Ultra HD. They feature 10-bit panels. They've got height adjust. Actually the full range of ergonomic adjustments that we need. And what's really cool about them is they actually have support for not only sRGB color space. Which frankly is all we're using for publishing to the web anyway. But also 99.5% coverage of Adobe RGB and even support for DCI. So if we were ever to do something where it's like, yeah we need to do this as if it's going to be shown in a movie theater. Then we would actually have the capability to do that. Neat little accessory that goes with it is actually these little X-Rite i1 display pros. So these allow us to calibrate the monitors as well as monitor ambient light. So that they can adapt to different ambient light in the room. Although it doesn't really change much. So that you're always getting the best color accuracy possible. Next up we've got our peripherals. So everyone was using just a mishmash of random stuff back at the old office. Logitech stepped up and offered to provide us with whatever keyboards we wanted. So you'll find a healthy mix of G710 pluses for those who prefer the Cherry MX experience. And Orion Spark G910s for those who prefer the Roamer G experience. And mice. Now a lot of people wanted MX Masters. Brandon's the only one who got one of those unfortunately. But the good news is that Logitech's gaming mice, whether it's the G402 or the G502. Which is what most of the others opted for. Offer great tracking and of course very good performance and ergonomics as well. They're just not wireless although Brandon doesn't seem to be using the wireless functionality of the MX Master anyway. For the rest of the peripherals we actually love these desk mats from SteelSeries. These are great because it means you can have as much or as little actual mouse pad as you want. You can also throw them in the wash machine. Something this one probably needs if you ever need to clean them. And these were a nice addition as well. So in the past no one really had microphones at their desks. But Razer sent us Siren Elites for everyone's workstations. And we use them for all kinds of stuff. Whether it's recording those clever voiceovers at the end of next time on Scrapyard Wars. Or even creating sound effects at our desk. Something that happens more often than you'd probably think. That's too much. Finally everyone got their audio upgraded as well. Most people were using some sh** mix of different gaming headsets that we had left over from reviews. Now everyone's using something from Sennheiser. Whether it's an HD6 mix, HD8 DJ or even some people opted for their audio file series. HD600s or HD650s. And of course for some of those headphones we had to go ahead and upgrade our audio source. So Shit Audio, yes that is actually the name of the company if you haven't heard of them before. Sent us Shitstack 2s. So Magni 2 and Modi 2 DAC and amps for every one of our editors to power their new headphones. Which leads us to the towers. Now we didn't change that much. We did add those aforementioned Titan X graphics cards. But we're still using the same 4960X Extreme Edition 6 cores. 32 gigs of Kingston memory. Unless you're Ed, he's got a 12 core Xeon and 64 gigs of HyperX memory. But you know, whatever, he's just a boss apparently. A couple people have Quadros for doing colour work. Everyone's got Kingston KC series SSDs, Cooler Master V750 power supplies. No, the only things we really changed were the coolers. Where we went with their new Gemin 2 coolers as well as the cases. So we switched over to Silencio series cases because what we discovered is that while the intention with whole room water cooling was actually to overclock the workstations. Now that we don't render on the workstations anyway. Quiet and consistent long term reliable operation is more of a focus. So we went back to air cooling which has fewer points of failure. And we went with cases that had noise dampening material built into the inside so that the office environment. Except when people are talking or filming in it. Is really really quiet. The editing room is so loud. Which leads us to our last demo. If I could get the camera focusing its attention on Brandon's system. Boop. What's all this then? Ah yes. General Electric kitted us out with 2000 volts amp UPS units for every single workstation. Meaning that even in the event of a power outage. Not only our server room. But also the individual workstations of our editors are protected. And will continue to run on battery power for quite some time. Like in excess of 20 minutes. Giving us time to save our work correctly. You know even if Premiere is being a bit of a butt head or whatever else. Back up all the data to where it needs to go. And shut down the systems correctly. A very very important thing to be able to do. So that's pretty much it. While I think we can all agree that. My team and I struggled. During the move and shortly after the move to maintain our usual standard of quality with the content. I really feel like we've finally found our stride. And the content that you guys are looking at now. Reflects not only the better space that we have to work in. But also the better equipment that we have in order to create our videos. So all that's left now is to thank our sponsor. Dollar Shave Club. Who actually this was not planned. But incidentally was the sponsor of our last office tour. Back when we were at the old place. The one I referred to at the beginning. So if you're not sure what Dollar Shave Club is. Guys it's the club where you join for well not dollar but a few dollars. Just a few dollars a month. Where you can shave your face. Prepare your face for shaving. Put stuff on your face that smells nice after you're done shaving. And wipe your butt. Yes they have supplies for all of those things. It's available in Canada, the US and Australia. And basically it's for people who want to look like they go out of their house. Without actually going to the store. Finding someone to open up the stupid unfathomably why does this exist cage. That store I mean I know why they exist. It's because people steal them. But people wouldn't steal the razor blades and cartridges. If they weren't so freaking expensive. So anyway Dollar Shave Club solves all those problems. By making it easier to get them. And cheaper. They just show up at your door. You shave. You look nice. You wipe your butt. You smell nice on your butt. I mean if that's a factor for you. And yeah so visit DollarShaveClub.com slash Linus.
