 I like the new house. It's got most of the things that I care about in it, but my first love isn't here yet. We haven't moved our computers, all right? The computer room is empty. So the goal today is to get both mine and Yvonne's computers moved over here, set up, and most importantly, wired in. And it's going to be a little bit tricky, because unlike most people's computers who sit right next to their monitor and their peripherals, ours are going to sit somewhere in the depths of the basement and use fiber optic cables to connect to our stations here in the office. Should go fine. You know who else is fine? Our sponsor, ViewSonic. Their elite XG321UG mini LED monitor offers a 4K native IPS panel with 144Hz refresh rate and G-Sync Ultimate R4 and a Quantum Dot color layer, so it's great for gamers and creators.

Fortunately, for today's endeavor, I do have a helper. Hello. Special guest appearance, Luc LaFreniere. I love your shirt, by the way. Ah, we traded. This is not the company I work for. Where are they supposed to go? Where's your computer? Well, they're going to have to go into the... Oh, my computer's not here. We're going to have to move that. Oh. You thought I was prepared for this or what? The main problem isn't going to be the computer. It's going to be the... Wait, wait. I think this is mine. What, this? Yeah. Well, for all the stuff employees have stolen from me over the years, I think I was entitled to one or two. You get one? You actually gave it to me. Oh, did I? You had two. The main problem is going to be all the peripherals and accessories and microphones and stuff like that. You're just going to start unplugging and I just grab stuff? We didn't bring any bins. The problem with cable management is at some point you have to unmanage it. I wonder if you can make that better. Oh, Luke's... Luke teasing the new products. Yes, we'll be showing our new cable management product today. The early prototypes. I found a box. Well, this is great. What is hanging off me? Oh, it's cable ties. They're so sticky. lttstore.com. Don't let me move the monitor. Yeah, sure. Do you want to... Oh, okay. See, it's like really expensive, so I was going to be careful with it, but he just... While Linus plays with his little PC, we're going to be solving important problems, like whether or not our van fits in here. Now, I say important, but my solution to this is really simple. Let's just park the van over there. But Linus is really insistent that it has to go on this side, so I guess it's important to him. We have these two steps here and I think the front of it might just cross it, so it might not work, but we're going to clear the space and try to figure that out for him. We already moved Yvonne's computer. I'm really, really looking forward to having proper access to all sides of my rack. I'm excited for having access to all sides of your rack too. Thanks, Luke. It's cute. This is really not my finest work. Just hire professional movers. They don't have to cost as much as the horrible quote we got. Yeah, this is not good. Don't overburden yourself there, Luke. That was a lot. The heavy load. I'm just going to make sure... I'm really glad you're not overburdening yourself again. Just going to make sure that you can... Yeah, there you go. Can I stack this on top? No. I think it's just the monitor and we're good. Yeah, sure. I'll do a sweep upstairs and make sure. Actually, I'm going to pull this in. What a good driver. Okay, so you want to help drive me in? Sure. You're not straight. That's where you're just finding this out now. Okay, Luke, am I in? No, you got to go deeper. Okay, that's all I got. You got to keep coming. You got to push. You have... Okay, stop. Your bumper's over the stair. Oh, wow. Just barely. Just barely. What about the back though? You have a lot of room, actually. I mean, I don't know if I'd call it a lot of room. Okay, this is a high-risk maneuver. We're going to close the garage and I'm going to back up. It's a high-risk maneuver. Think of the views, Linus. Just drive right through the door. That's much better. Just realized we forgot the rails for this thing. So I'm hauling it down here, but I can't even mount it. I do have Yvonne's rails here, so I can at least mount one of them for now. Okay, so you guide your side in. I guide my side in. Any time. Sorry, it's just really big. It's hard to... Just give her... Yeah. It's time to figure out if this reaches. Oh, this is bad. This is not long enough. Wait, the green fiber only needs to go to the iKron dock. Where are the iKron docks? Yay. That's the source side. This is the client side. Here's what I'm kind of feeling, Luke. What are you feeling? Without any desks. Let's just see if all the in-floor and in-wall fiber optics actually work. Okay, so we're going functionality first. Let's go function first. Sounds good. Mark, come check this out. Remember the fiber optic and display port cables that I showed you down in the server room? Well, this is theoretically how it works. You just plug in and you're good to go. These little covers here, very, very important. They keep the fiber optic ends clean. And if they get dirty, it's a real chore to clean them. And then you just plug in like that. Easy. What do you think are the odds that it lights up? Hello? Are you on or not? No dice. Wait, what is this? Why would we put two extensions on it? Now we're going to plug in directly. I think this might be that end. Oh goodness. I see it. Do you want me to grab it? Hold on. Sorry. Nobody breathe. Everybody don't breathe. Wait, what the hell? Okay. Yes. So it's going in here. It's in here. Oh, balls. So it's right here. I was plugging completely the wrong cable in. Oh wait. Yes. They're labeled. I have the other end of the cable you are holding. This is the rack end, which explains why that was so short because it was never intended to go in the rack. I was actually wondering how I was supposed to plug in her fiber unit because I didn't see any plugs on that side. There is the hole in the floor. This is great news. It means that this goes to you. This plugs into Yvonne's fiber USB thing. That means this one next to it is almost certainly the one on my end. Wait, no, no, no. Where was the one next to it? There was one bundled with that one. Pretty sure that was it. Yeah. Okay. I'm feeling good. Wait, this doesn't help us with the display port. Do you want to go check if there's a label on the DP cables sticking out of the wall? 24. Some of these aren't even labeled. Yeah, but they have labels here. 24. 24. Yeah. Okay. All right. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yay. Now we need to know if it's actually going to work through the wall plate thing. We're going to be okay. That goes there. Yes. We're not out of the woods yet though. Just because it's working at 4K 60 Hertz doesn't mean that it has the signal integrity to work at 4K 120 Hertz. Actually, it seems to be working at 120 Hertz right now. That's a very good sign. Minor detail. I haven't transported my desk to the new place and I didn't bring a drill here. So I guess I get to do this manually. Taking the top off. You're not going to hit? I'm good. Whoa. Would have hit that. Look at this guy showboating. As soon as the camera turns on, he's like, oh, I'll grab something heavy now. It should be noted. This is not the final form desktop for the new place. These are cable management speed holes that are from my previous setup. And it's not actually the full size that I'm going to be putting there. But what I can do is I can set everything up the way that I think it will go. Maybe put some like cardboard extensions, map out exactly where I want all the new holes. And then I can use it as a template for the real desk, put out all the holes in and then I'll be ready to go right out of the gate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stop. Luke's busy upstairs. So my plan is to solo install Yvonne's machine in the rack. You know, I had actually intended to upgrade her GPU, but I do not know where that graphics card is. It's a Titan RTX. Oh crap. Now I need these out. Don't worry. I'm a professional, but I have, whoa, solo installed these a few times. That happens once in a while. I've never built one of these before, but it seems pretty straightforward. So not a big deal as I miss very cool. Luke, we don't need this cable management tray because I have the cable management thing. I've been teasing all day on the surface. These are perfectly normal cable management arches, but what's special about them is how strong they are. So you'll be able to use all the different sizes to manage everything from gigantic bundles of wire like this down to individual wires. Here's an example of a perfect application for these. I put a cable tie on this and had it just hanging here, but what I could have done, since I know that this is temporary and I'm going to do a better job of this later, it's just gone like this. These are little steel plates and these are going to be really useful for our cable management stuff. The ones that we actually make are going to have holes in them instead of just adhesive, but you'll be able to stick them onto anything and then you'll be able to take all your tables or whatever and you'll be able to run them through there. And then you'll take your little arch and cable manage it down into place. There's going to be one that's designed to hold down power bricks like this. Look, they got to understand the products. They're going to have to run this business for us someday. And there's this one, which is designed for you to run a cable tie through it like this. And then that one can hold as many things as you can fit in a cable tie. You're good. Wow. You're going, okay. Sure. Yes. Why not? It's taking shortcuts here, ladies and gentlemen. I used to have two staples in here holding this extra coil of wire. No more. All about the magnets now. Okay. Flipping awesome. Really not my finest work, but hey, it's all magnetic. So it's super easy to change, which is cool, but I saved the coolest part for last. Part of the point of having my machine in a central location like this, and then using fiber optic cabling to get signals elsewhere in the house is that I can actually use it in different parts of the house. Is there an HDMI to there? Crap. I don't think there is. That's okay. We can cheat. Unfortunately, this one's only HDMI 2.0. So it'll do 4k 60 Hertz. Still, that's perfectly fine for our demo. There's conduit so that I can run something HDMI 2.1 compliant over to the theater room or to the land room or wherever the case may be. Okay. Ox one. Please just immediately work. What are the odds? My brain hurts. It didn't work. You lied to me. Second display is here. Extend, duplicate these displays. Do you guys need any help? We are so good at this. Okay. Theoretically, steam big picture. Down we go. There it is. We got them, ladies and gentlemen. Powerful? Sure. Steam cloud error. Wait, oh, is this still? I have no other controls. The only controls are also, I don't detect any audio. Definitely some things to fine tune. But I mean, it's functioning. Yes. And there's no fan noise, no heat output in either the theater room or in the office upstairs. An input lag feels fantastic. Well, of course, because it's just an optical HDMI or an optical display port connection. There's no additional latency compared to just running a regular cable. Or what? Did you die? How did you die? Did you kill yourself? My own brambles, I guess. This is not going well for me. Oh, what is that? Nice hash switching out. Oh my God. The stupidest part of this is the pool I'm mining into is like the lounge night lunch one. I think I'm just going to stop. Well, realistically, you just need keyboard mouse down here. This is not a great experience. Can we even get back? I don't think we can get out of there. Does the Microsoft button? Just like we can't get out of telling you about our sponsor. FreshBooks.
