 We lost the vision a little bit. Yes. I don't think this should be here. Really? This probably shouldn't be here The majority of this shouldn't be here. These people are probably okay because they're carrying candy Yeah, but we should like build this out of candy. Yes. We totally lost the vision That's I'm gonna throw a lot of that on me. Okay, but like Let's tear a bunch of this down and rebuild it with candy. With candy. Done. So we can use the white Things as like candy boulders. As candy boulders we can glue them together We can make the trees like we were originally planning. We can build this largely out of KitKat and some other things I think that tree could have leaves of this. Yeah, like so we can use some of the stuff as Platforms to put more candy, but nothing can exist without candy. I do still want to leave this. Okay But then it needs to candy everywhere. It needs to be Central Candy Park. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know I know and then like but we can like make a bench out of KitKat Like this shouldn't be here because that should be two little broken pieces of KitKat and one long actual piece of KitKat Got it. You know what I mean? Yeah, candy construction land needs to totally happen over here. That's gonna look pretty sharp We should like ship this to Noctua when we're done I know right? Be like here someone finally made a computer that makes sense with your color scheme I think I left the screws to the keyboard in the keyboard box Hey the screws to the keyboard are inside the keyboard. Good job previous me My hope is just that the judges appreciate attention to detail rather than gimmicky light shows They probably won't nope not helping Tech showdown is brought to you by synergy to in partnership with G skill be quiet and cable mod Synergy to makes sharing your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers so simple that anyone can use it learn more at the link below How does my butt look in these jeans we can roll we're rolling we're good Okay, so where were we so we need to jump on desk lighting lighting get the pump Mounted so it works with the front res and we need to paint the keycaps Okay, you got a fan cable there but In the box, yes, I could look Oh boy Another leg on there might as well. Yeah. Yeah throw it on there. Okay So originally I was gonna tie these two lights on top with the light strip in between but the way Bob put the other three lights in we didn't need to do that but left us with this tail leg on our lighting kit And so I've just got an RGB strip and this will fit right in here And just help illuminate all that and once the lights are down just a little bit all the light will catch a light and look really awesome I hung out with some Canadians at the bar once and they tested me to make sure I was well tested me to make sure I was worthy. They only had a couple questions. They want to know if I'd watch hockey and if I drank beer and do I like to fight and I said yes to all three and they said you're in. I think the highlights on our case are going to be obviously color. You've got bright colors, white and pink. It's really clean. You look at it and we've done just a little bit of modification and so you can still see where it looks like the stock chassis but by adding a reservoir in the front on the outside I think it's probably one of the biggest elements. I'll push in on it. New slide. There we go. Ta-da. Ted says our system looks incomplete and like we don't have enough time. The whole thing. Our whole thing is a disaster. I think we both kind of look like we don't have enough time to be honest. I think we should have no tools down tonight. Yeah just keep on working. I've got nothing else to do. If you guys are down I think that might be better for everyone. We want to see our system clear. For sure. Yeah we got judges coming tomorrow so you guys gotta be done. Off camera last night we did finish up the cabling for the back of our case and I gave in and we did the BE and then I also sponge painted some of the mistakes so I think it looks pretty clean so we're ready to put that finishing touch on the back. So plan for today then you're on diorama town and then I'm on cotton balling the bottom so I have actually a blue sky panel thing that I put in my car last night. Honestly I don't think it's gonna work that well. It's got like a corrugated brown backing so what we're thinking now is we just create cloud that our city is floating on and then we've got like a letter to the judges that we can write so we're gonna leave that with our setup and hopefully they'll understand that this is a city floating in the clouds made of candy. Awesome that looks great. That looks really good actually. That's really sharp. Damn. Alright. Okay. Okay what if we use these little cone things and we reduce some of the action that's going on up here? Yeah you want to use the cones. Yeah so as like caution this is where the cables going. Like instead of hide it like point it out. Sure. But make it kind of cool. Sure you know what I'm I'm down I'm into that. That was okay. That's gonna say Central Park and I'm hoping one of the judges is going to appreciate it enough for it to be worth something this time I'm spending on it. So I decided to go with like something that would look like it could be a letter so it's like a weird slightly cursive P which I think will be pretty good because I want it to look appealing. I think we're gonna lose but I think we did a pretty good job so I'm okay with it. We've done worse. Okay how's it look from the particulates? Still good. Still see it. Yeah I don't think you go any darker though to start getting a little red. Okay where do we put our power cord? Knock it up just a bit? Yeah we can bring it up just add a little more red. Oh perfect. It's about the whole package. Okay what size? I mean I don't know about too many hearts because I know I want to go early thing it's a candy thing. That's why I was like using some of the white ones too. Oh look at him oh my god he's getting out the pain he's got the brush. Two minutes left. Watch your head. Oh yeah. I think we're done. I think we're gonna sit here. Stand here? Yeah we're gonna eat candy. Hold on. Yeah we should just eat some candy. I feel like sometimes what you see on camera personalities and what they're like sometimes when they're sort of in that reality setting and they're filming and you are under time constraints you never know what's gonna happen. I'm expecting to see some bomb-ass computers and if I don't I'll be very disappointed. There should be at least one with fireworks coming off of it and if there's not I don't know what I'm doing here. Bob and Rod I know Rod does some pretty cool stuff with machining so I feel like theirs might look more sorry Linus but I think it might look more professional I think it might look more like they they used some real tools to put it together. So one of the things that I'm gonna be interested to see is what do they do with the keyboards because obviously it has to be functional and if you're putting candy on a keyboard some things can really go wrong so I don't know that's gonna be pretty cool to see what they do. From Rod and Bob I expect to see something a little more you know it's exciting but it's not gonna like blow your face up with its ridiculousness you know it's gonna be like oh refined and I don't I don't mean that to say anything rude about Linus and Luke I just feel like you know they're they go balls to the wall that's inappropriate. I think I'm more interested in will this system survive in a real user environment or does it just fall apart the day after it gets deployed. Synergy 2 is designed to be easier and more seamless to use than synergy one. Features include sharing from anywhere with automatic control of any other computer without reconfiguring, SSL encryption to protect your keystrokes from attackers, dynamic networking so it detects the best route based on your setup and being able to always run in the background on all your operating systems so you can set and forget and it even works across VPNs and tricky home networks if you get the pro version you can get access to other cool features too like clipboard sharing dragging and dropping files, copy pasting, lock screen synchronization and lots more. Well well well this is ridiculous this is way better than I expected what there's actual like presentation candy station. Do you think they might have had a little extra time? Yeah what I couldn't have made that in four days. This is far too much effort for Luke and Linus I'm just gonna say right now. I mean a table that's been painted. And look at this I mean they really went all out there's even rock candy wait there's candy inside of the machine. I'm not really seeing the flaws I was expecting to see. I can find plenty of flaws. Like the candy tray they just put candy in it so you can't see all the build up. Oh you were coming in here being like I mean that's what I do they're not gonna be able to PC as good as I could. It's pretty impressive I think when I was thinking of like a candy theme I mean I was actually picturing candy just taped and glued on to things so my expectations were way different than what we're seeing here. It's the overall presentation but like you know are we supposed to give them extra points because they just got some candy in jars here? Yeah. Woah! That's fire! We put labels on the jars we pick the candy out we even sorted some candy. Oh you labeled a jar wow do you want a job organizing my warehouse? Maybe. I think so because function and usability is on the list so if I'm sitting here this is gonna save me so much time from going to the kitchen I could just eat my candy here and I don't have to do anything else. That's very true. I'm seeing pink cable ties back here going the extra effort that's that's another level. This is you know it's a little rough around the edge. Oh! Wow! Seriously? Oh my god I can't believe she noticed that. They are like nitpicking. Oh yeah a little bit hmm very disappointed very disappointed. It's not even that bad but I'm just looking for things at this point. Okay let's take a look let's see the mouse does it work? Yes. Is this a real fly or is this part of the cell? Is this a real fly? Is the fly part of this? Well you never know maybe they were like you know flies hang around food sometimes. I will say if there's a key that I'm looking for and I don't know where it is I'm screwed. Ah yes! There's a what? They painted over all the keys so you can't see the letters. Oh yeah that keyboard isn't you can't tell what key is which. No you can't. That's a point off for functionality. Functionality. Floating. What is this font? I can't give you extra points if I can't read it. That's like the most basic script font that you can find in a word processor. It's like I think it's actually called script. Life is simple. Sorry do you want to go for it? I think you should read it. You've got the voice. Alright life is simple in this floating paradise among the clouds. The blue collar candy folk are hard at work in the factory making the most delicious candy treats for the citizens. While the Candy Town Express makes its way through Candy Town Central Park. Central Park? Central Park. What? Didn't she just have a video with that in it? I thought that's okay. Why is this blowing your mind? I have like sort of an inside joke. It's hard to describe. It's like it's like a general positive sentiment if you're like hey let's you want to hang out tomorrow? Central Park. You know or like you know or like what do you think of this thing I just did? Ah Central Park. It's nonsensical. They're appealing to you. Yeah. You can't let yourself be biased by this. I know but. Clear appeal. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Poor Try Justine. No I don't know. I don't know if I can be objective but anyways continue. But our chocolate themed candy factory makes it more than just yummy things to eat. It also makes the fastest most beautiful frames for the hottest most intense games. Nicely done. So sit and enjoy a relaxing and refined computing experience with the people of upper Candy Town. Gaming should be intense but it shouldn't be stressful. Yours some signatures. Some signatures. I'm not sure what they say. I think we should take a look at this because I see a lot of things going on here. Number one as a sanitary precaution I do like that this desk definitely kept everything contained. We've got Kit Kats sitting very close. Oh that is a health concern. It is. Oh my god. Oh come on. Holy s**t. And also you know I mean sometimes computers do get a little warm depending upon what you've got going on here. Taking yours apart now. Oh god. That's so lame. Is health concern a judging category? Chocolate covered everything. You can see the letters on the keyboard which is very important. Oh my god. I know. No this got you literally. This is not fair. This is not fair. This is a personal touch. This is I don't know if I can be objective now. Central pack. Central pack. I don't know that I can be objective. Why are you the favorite one? Oh that's true. Oh god. Steven you're the next one. I don't know. I didn't know you have this much control over line of text chips. I didn't know either. Let's make sure that this works. Okay that works. It's functional. Oh yeah you have to make sure. Yeah. Oh man. The train is functional. My heart. They did a really good paint job though. Yeah that's what I think it is. Is this a paint job? I'm assuming. That is paint. Yeah. Because it's pretty well done. The back of the monitor is fine. The front is fine. We've got to do the same test. Oh yeah yeah. Oh I found a flaw. Uh oh. It's where that thing fell. Let's talk about it. Let's discuss. I found what appears to be either just some uh some bad touch of paint over here or a fingerprint. Which means we may be able to identify the creator. To the lab! And then you do a Batman. So um okay what is this what's the deal so we got chocolate. Yeah because like the other one you know there's kind of like a distinct pink and pink and white theme. But like we got chocolate here and then we got multicolored keys. So what are these what is this just kind of a general candy thing? I don't know. Are these custom or is this a why why are the media keys just black out? Oh that's a good point. Looks like it was bought as a set to me. Did they run out of fun paint or I mean I don't think this is or did the set not come with it. It's got to be a set. That doesn't count. So there's a couple. There's one I don't know if it's a fingerprint. There's a splotch right there. Oh yeah. See that? And then there's if you get the light right. Oh yeah. There's some there there's some there. Well there's one down here. There's one right there. Steve and I are very disappointed about this. Yes. Yes. Can't believe it. How about does this one have the same flaws? Oh my god if they looked at your monitor anywhere near as close as they're looking at mine. They caught the really the only flaw on our monitor which is like a little masking. Yeah but you guys got paint on the screen. Okay you guys need to talk less so we can hear what the judge is saying. This is very this is like a a pretty nice diorama though you know. I can there's definitely two different feels here. Like this is like this feels like it could be an actual in someone's actual room if they were like super into candy and pink. And this feels like and this feels like you know it's like more of an art piece to display. Right. So. Central pack. And yeah central pack. I mean they are both so incredibly different that it's really it's gonna be a difficult decision I think. The fans have been painted as well. Offsetting the weight of the fan blades. Although. Potentially causing damage down the line. It looks like they may have missed some spots. Oh there's like a thing over here. Are they like cleaning up the garbage in the back? Oh my gosh yes they are. There's like the main diorama over there and then in the back they're hiding the garbage. This is cool. You know. Toxic waste. One thing that they did do is they're very thoughtful in their thinking of this whole design. That's true. Oh that's extremely dusty. It's dirt. It's the point. It's actual dust. They put real dust. No. No. No. How is there actual dust on this? How long has this been sitting? Wow. How would they how would you even put dust on something intentionally? I don't know. This is I'm impressed. I'm impressed with their attention to detail. Yeah very impressive. Very impressive. Yeah. That paint splotches on the inside. This one you know the uh kind of splotches here the ones on the monitor whatever's going on on the top up here it's just like a wannabe grip tape paint I guess. Oh man he's being harsh. I feel like I feel like this has to be Luke and Linus because Bob is a really good painter and I'm not saying that this isn't a good job but. Well then why don't you look at his paint job a little closer Stephen. Okay wait what's going on here? Is this a fake reservoir? Like they have a tube going here that looks like it's part of the regular loop but it's running in the middle. Is it actually? Is the tube going through it? The tube's going through it. Oh is it? Oh okay I couldn't see. That's cool. That is very nice. Completely impractical. It's practical. It's decoration. There's no fluid running through it. But it's completely impractical to cool a CPU with candy so. I mean you need more more coolant to get the candy. Yeah exactly so I don't I don't know about that. But it looks cool. It does it does look cool but we don't even know the thermal conductivity of that candy. Going into this one of the judging criteria was the wow factor and for me I think I might have actually said wow so bonus points for that. Yeah yeah when she walked in she said wow she was like wow like the second I saw you guys she wanted to buy it. I was like well you guys won I just eat. And the floor to ceiling oh yeah that says wow yeah yeah. When I walked in and saw this this was by far exceeding any expectations that I had coming into this you know when they said candy was a theme I mean I pictured taping down candy on things and just sort of going really overboard with the theme what they did here was really took that theme and played to that from the colors. I mean they even went so far as going to the craft store and getting these random party supplies and wrapping it all the way around the desk. They even wrapped this around the back. That's definitely something thoughtful. This desk I mean they've got these custom panels here to house some display candy. The only complaint that I have is they also were talking about you know if a normal person is going to a party and a normal person who is not completely tech savvy would come down and sit at this keyboard they painted over all of the letters and numbers and symbols so that may kind of hinder some functionality. The mouse also custom painted I think we all have kind of have that same discussion of if you really want to use the mouse you're probably going to end up pulling it out of the uh the socket here but you know. So zip tied back. How is she most use half a desk for most of the time? Yeah like is she like a low sensitivity gamer? The free samples definitely were a plus. I know we've been talking about this imperfection here uh using the candy to cover up the flaws but I think that's what we all do so I'm okay with that. The case is very well painted. I love that they completely modded this front panel. They even went so far as putting candy inside of the case and I feel like it is placed strategically so hopefully none of it will melt which is could be a disaster. I kind of do like the rainbow led ram they have in there too. I know we're discussing maybe it should have all been pink but it does kind of play into the whole candy theme. I also like that their candy is in jars. I know that might sound crazy but the competition has candy all over the table. They made a candy station sign. They even have a nice little list of modifications which I feel like this is one of those things where you walk into a candy store and it's like oh this is the menu of what we have. They this is crazy. I'm super overwhelmed and I also think this might have been swayed because if they knew I was a judge then this is something that I would definitely be gravitating towards so A+. So I would say some of the negatives definitely the mouse doesn't work as it should. The keyboard they painted over all of the letters and numbers so I feel like if any normal person who comes down here and does not have this entire thing memorized like most of us they may have a few issues with that. There are a few little smudges of paint. The free samples kind of hide imperfections but I'm not going to knock that too much and hopefully you didn't want to wirelessly charge your phone because they did rip out the Qi charger for the free samples which to be completely fair is okay in my book. Everything else though looks pretty good. I mean I think it was kind of a stretch for a lot of us to really kind of dig in and find some imperfections. The Qi charger. They bat with the Qi charger. Who cares about the Qi charger man? Why does the Qi charger matter? All right so over here we've got our chocolate wonderland central pock. Clearly a nice little inside joke which inside jokes are fun when everyone's included but I guess that's not how inside jokes work. I mean they even went so far as to make this nice little printed out note. She's after us for the inside joke in the letter I mean and she went she put it like on top of yeah yeah like probably knocked a bunch of stuff over. The number one downfall I would say to this as somebody who is a candy connoisseur this is not sanitary. There's no way that you should be leaving candy out like this. I mean there are actual flies I don't know if you guys can see this but they are landing on the candy and these gumdrops have dust on them so that is definitely some points that I'm gonna have to take away as somebody who may want to potentially eat this. You shouldn't. It is no longer edible. I will say though they did a really great job of the overall theme. When you look at this you definitely can say yes we get it it's a chocolate theme. I mean this entire case is very well painted. Your hands. This is really well painted. Rub it. Rub it. I love the finish on this. Every little bit of it kind of has sort of a chocolatey feel. They did a really great job of painting this monitor that there was a point I would have been convinced that this was manufactured this way. There are a few smudges in the back here but overall at least the front where it really counts it looks really really good. They did take a little bit more attention to detail in the inside here. They painted some more of the insides as you guys can see here. The one thing that I would say is I'm not really sure why they decided to leave all of these racks there. You probably could have removed those and if they were going to leave those in it could have been something cool to sort of add a little more integration of the candy theme. But when I walked in I don't feel like this had that wow factor that we were all looking for as far as functionality goes. Let's just test this out. So say I'm sitting here for a day of work. All right it's time to edit. I'm using my mouse and I start knocking over candy and I start knocking over these little figures. This is not that functional. Why is she moving your mouse off the pad? Oh yeah small city destroyed. Definitely have to take off some points for that. The keyboard looks great. This is not custom painted as far as I can tell. These four buttons here don't match the rest of it but I do like the keyboard. It looks great. There's black in the rest of it. I don't know I caught the black. I was like why does it black? We thought about we thought about we thought about doing them like accent cream. Yeah yeah. Start moving stuff around you can see the paint peel a little bit. So there may be some strategy to where things are placed. Like for example this bribery tray when you take the candy out there's some paint peel in here but that's also kind of a custom tray. So they've removed the cheat chargers so points for that. They've got a tray I guess to put stuff in instead. There's some paint damage but overall not so bad and countering that the front panel here is a custom panel so the feels like just a plastic shroud has been placed in. Okay maybe we didn't give Steve enough credit. Internally the liquid cooling continues. You can see it goes through this sort of fake false reservoir with candy in it. So nice touch there. There's a black smudge on the paint for the side panel in the front corner of the case but overall considering it was a four day competition the paint here is looking pretty good. It's it's not peeled really anywhere except for that one spot. There's two chips well one chip where it looks like accidental damage. A smudge over here. The rest of it is I mean there's no the monitor doesn't have any smudges on it unlike the other monitor. I think the only thing really to take points off for would primarily be those chips and smudges that the one or two there are except for usability. So the cable mods leaving here that's being used to contain all of the cables prevents me from actually using this mouse where I want to which is back here further on the desk. So I think that's my review of this one. Moving on to the other one they had a note here that was clearly not addressed to me. So some I've got some ethical concerns with this system already. So I don't know we might have to disqualify one of the judges but I'm not saying that we should I'm just saying it's it's an idea to consider. In terms of the system itself so layout is the table's a lot less impressive. They just kind of put like a green mat on top of it as opposed to the other one which was all custom painted. Some fuzziness going on the bottom to look like marshmallows I guess but that's really all there is in terms of the table layout. For the system there are quite a few flaws with this one. So the monitor has a lot of paint smudges fingerprints things like that on the back side of the monitor. Internally I think I don't recall seeing any major paint problems internally but I will point out that the fans are painted so that's an extra step. The water block is painted which is an extra step. I think the other one didn't have quite as much work done internally. I'm told that this case was originally black so if that's the case then they I don't remember if these are white on the stock case or not but if they're not then that was effort too. But on the front panel a couple more smudges a couple more fingerprints kind of a grip tape feeling to the paint up here which means that it's got some white fuzz on the top. The Qi charger works though so that's good. There's some paint dust kind of on the the sound damping foam. There's some paint dust on the dust filter but the fans again are painted behind there. So give and take on each side. Power supply has been painted a bit. A bit? Got media keys that don't match the rest of the theme. So this this build overall I feel like it's a little more chaotic but the internal work clearly there was a lot more done on it. So like I said give and take on each side but I think that that pretty much wraps up my review of both of these systems. I like that it's called the candy station because it's a station for candy both literally and figuratively because PC gaming is a treat. Overall I really like how this one is more of a cohesive kind of singular design. It kind of looks like an extreme home makeover when like the kid says I like pink and white and then they make the whole room pink and white. Like as a candy station it works there's accessible candy that's functional in terms of like there's candy that you can grab and eat also here I'll talk about that later. You have room to use the keyboard and mouse and not like not be knocking over things as we'll get to. What I want to understand is how all of these people are using their keyboards and mice. Do they do they move the keyboard? I'm using my computer now. I don't know it doesn't jump out at me as much as like whoa this is like an original thing that I've never seen before. It looks like a clean PC gaming station build which is great. It's not as much of there's not as much of a cool factor but maybe again maybe that's just me as a judge you know Justine was saying that it like really jumps out to her so like that's fair that's fair. I'm judging Justine in this competition. Me too. This is sort of a modding competition in some ways. In literally every single possible way. Yeah. This is this is a completely custom solution here with the reservoir on the outside. I also really like how it kind of looks like cotton candy. I don't know if that was intentional or not but it looks like cotton candy. They captured the essence of it. Up here though in terms of functionality they took out the Qi charger in order to have a receptacle for candy. So that's what I mean it's not so much a positive or a negative as it is a trade-off. You're taking away the Qi charging. You're adding the candy bucket. This is a bit patronizing like I can't tell what you did. Just saying. What? It's a candy shop. They have free samples. I'm just kidding. That's great. Really? So over here I'm very conflicted. I'm very conflicted because coming right into this I have a letter written to me as if from a secret lover giving me something that I connect with immediately. The central pack. It's definitely not as universal of a concept but I'm conflicted because I know that it's oh I feel I've got the feels looking at it. I was like oh my gosh this is real. But at the same time I know that it's just for me so I don't know is that sucking up? I don't know. Oh yeah it is. Yeah it is. It's definitely sucking up. I feel like it's a little more creative. They kind of like used this as a canvas to paint this picture of the town of Candy Town. What are the inhabitants thinking in their daily lives? What the? Linus brought this up. Seriously he did. He's like every single person has to have a purpose. If we could ask them what is it like? What is daily life like in Candy Town? Is pushing your wheelbarrow to work every morning? Is that hard on you? Does the candy melt in the hot sun sometimes? These are the things that we want to know and it makes you think deep down. So I really appreciate that. I was very nice to see that they it's like a 3D experience. There's the secret toxic waste dump in the back. One thing I will say the other judges mentioned the dust and I will also I'm confused about how there is dust on this stuff. Like didn't you just finish this? You wanted a lead in let's do this thing. All right so for my scoring starting with the pink and white build. Pink and white one I thought had the fewest flaws in the paint but had some functionality concerns. So overall concept and theme I gave it a seven. Aesthetics and execution I gave it an eight. And functionality I gave it a five. And for the brown system here I thought the the brown was a little off putting. The theme overall was a little more chaotic but it had some functionality where the other one didn't. So for that one concept and theme six out of ten. Aesthetics execution five out of ten for paint smudges and other problems with the paint. Functionality and usability eight out of ten. So for me the candy station was very overall like a clean design. I think it worked better as sort of like something that somebody would design for like a client. So for concept and theme I gave it a seven. Aesthetics execution and cool factor nine. Functionality and usability nine because I think it was a little bit more functional than this one. And for this one very conflicted but I got very warm and fuzzy feelings from the central pack. Overall it looked like a more artistic take with more candy and the whole theme with the with the town and everything. So that was very very nice. Concept and theme I gave them a nine. Aesthetics and execution nine. Functionality functionality and usability six out of ten. So I feel like the candy station definitely caught my eye not to be a stereotype or anything but it was pretty awesome. So I feel like if I was a client I said hey I like pink and shiny sparkles and this would be exactly what you get. But as far as the concept and theme I thought it was incredible but I just felt like I just wasn't ready to give it a ten so I gave it a nine out of ten. But the aesthetics and cool factor I did give a ten because as soon as I walked in I was like wow this is awesome. Functionality and usability I did give it a seven because I did struggle a little bit to use the mouse and you know I was a little bit worried about the candy inside like if I wanted to actually eat that it would be a little bit of a struggle. So I had to really take that into the consideration. Also the keyboard too I felt like you guys I was like what if I need to find a letter that I'm not sure of that's on there because you guys painted over it. But overall I thought it was really fun and then we're over here to Linus and the Chocolate Factory. This was really it was pretty fun because chocolate is one of my favorite you know candy choices but the one thing that I didn't like is because I do love candy a lot the candy started getting a little dusty because it was being left out so that was a little bit of a struggle. We also did notice some little paint smudges and stuff on the back but overall it was a very chaotic theme but it was very fun. So for concept and theme I gave it a nine out of ten because it was very fun. Aesthetics and execution and cool factor it was a six and then functionality seven because I felt like the mouse was too close to candy and there's candy that could be potentially melted places so that's my final offer. This is what I didn't want to see on their faces. You all did a very good job. Yes they were all great they were all wonderful just one was more wonderful than the other one. I mean you can put the knife in if you have to twist it. Just just read it. They told me to put it down quickly. Is this close is this close is this close enough? Feeling really uncomfortable right now. All right so LTT final score 21.6. The S-mods final score 24.4. All right well good job. Oh yeah congratulations gentlemen. Good job. Good fight. Good work partner. Good job. And a huge shout out to Synergy whose awesome shirt I totally destroyed with brown paint throughout this whole ordeal. We're gonna have a demo in a second showing you how Synergy works but basically lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers even if they run Windows, Mac OS, or Linux operating systems. Pretty freaking cool and huge thank you to our guest judges Riley from NCIX Tech Tips, we've got Steven from Gamers Nexus, and Justine from well iJustine but I'm not Justine she's Justine. You guys get the point. You can check out all of them at the links in the video description. So it didn't go the way we wanted but sometimes that's how the chocolate melts or I don't know whatever. Uh no. Wait no that's that's ours. Okay well here you go. Second place. I guess I'll read this to you. Candy is sweet but not as sweet as victory and now you have both. Congratulations you guys. Pose for your stupid picture. What does ours say? Uh you aimed for sugar but ended with salt. In a room full of candy you're the only thing bitter. Wow. That's not very nice. To be fair it's true though. We're pretty bitter. All right. All right. Thank you. So here's how it works. Once you've got Synergy set up all you do is sit down at your computer. See there's my mouse moving around. Oh what's this? I've got Linus's MacBook over here on the left so I just move the cursor over there and boom I type in some awesome website.com and I'm using the computer as though this is connected to it but it's not and I've got something really exciting for you guys. Synergy 2 is coming. It's got all the same features as the original Synergy so copy pasting between the computers, dragging and dropping files between the computers, the ability to use it on Windows, Mac and even Linux and some new stuff. They've got a super simple redesigned setup so literally anyone can use it. No typing in IP addresses, rigmarole. They've got bi-directional control coming so that they can automate the client and server technology so you can control either machine with either keyboard and mouse which is pretty freaking sick and this is actually my favorite stuff. They've got the ability to run it as a service in the background so it always is running even when you restart and location awareness. So you could have Synergy set up at work and at home and all you do is plunk down your laptop, all the stuff uh next to your home machine, pick it up, take it to work, plunk it down next to your work machine and boom you are sharing your keyboard and mouse automatically. Wow! So that's going to be coming sometime in November. Check it out at the link below.
