 You spent $400 of Intel's money on this? What do you mean it's ugly? You go f*** yourself. One thing I love about Intel Extreme Home Upgrade is that when I give one of my team members 5,000 US dollars sponsored by Intel to upgrade their home setup, I learn a lot about them. Like some people are more into multimedia and others are hardcore into gaming and still others like Dennis spend the money on some really weird shiz. Charlie, bite him, bite him. That's a bad person. One of the things I already knew about Dennis is that he knows how to stretch a dollar and I can't believe how much stuff you have here, man. I need a lot of stuff, Linus. My setup is completely... You will see it in a bit. So you've got a new chair, new desk, not one but two new monitors, complete new gaming setup and even like, where'd the foot massager go? Where is it? Here, here, here, here. The Renpo foot massager and the Neco shoulder massager. Now when you're editing all day, eight hours a day, it's like actually hurting your neck a lot and your feet. I would like to stay comfort. Why would your feet hurt from editing videos? Been sitting too much. Yeah. No, what are you talking about? What else we got? Cause what's the up here? Fan. A fan. So I'm sorry, I'm not sure. Niklas put up the PC list. I was in charge of the comfort stuff and Niklas was in charge of PC stuff. Oh, so it's actually just like fans. Oh my God. Why do you have 10 RGB fans? I have six, I think. I have six white fans. My color theme is white. You managed to get a 3080 in this budget. You've got a cable tray. You've got, what is this cabinet? Office cabinet, cause I need it. I have a lot of stuff to put away. And the desktop is... How did you get all of this? Did you blow the budget? No, I did not. I actually stay within $5,000. These alone are like $300. What is this? What is Structube? Oh, we also have Intel Core i7. Of course we do. Sponsored by Intel. Extreme home upgrade. What is this? Is this a light fixture? Oh my God, this light cost me $100. My thing is modern, clean and minimalist. No, that's Riley's thing. Riley's thoughts. Look at mine will be more modern and my minimum list with comfort. Different. Comfort. You can't be minimalist with like machines strapped to your shoulders and feet. That's not minimalism. Imagine this Linus. I have this shoulder massager with this headphone. So modern and real, futuristic. I'll look so cool in it. Okay, I was able to imagine it up until that last bit. Why don't we look at the current setup? Okay, okay Linus stop. Nothing stolen from work. Well, at least some of this definitely came from work. I mean, it's got our label on it. It's signed out. If it's signed out, it's not stolen. Okay, well, wait a minute. Hold on. You have- So, okay, let me explain what happened to this pink Razer laptop that you gave us like a couple of years ago at that Christmas party. Look at this. Look at this. You hear how angry he is about, you know what? Maybe I shouldn't give you anything. No, no, no. Why didn't I give the home upgrade to someone who will appreciate it? Just not Razer. Look at the battery is really expanded and I didn't realize it till like last month. And look at here. Yeah, touch pads like bowed. So you know that you shouldn't keep that battery in there, right? I know, but I don't know how to deal with it. What? It's like eight screws. You just take them out and pop the thing out. But I still have my stuff in there. So? So now I sign out another Razer. Why would you? I don't know. I don't expect to be a Razer 13. Why do you have two pairs of headphones? You're not minimalistic at all, Dennis. I'm trying to. So this is, I've been using this for a long time. This Latch Tech, what's this? Corsair. Corsair RGB wireless thing. It dies. I'm so triggered right now. I'm so triggered right now. Look at this. What kind of monster adjusts their headphones like this? Oh, what? I guess you have to do it evenly. Oh my God. No, no, no. No, why don't you get sore? Wait, wait. Wait, wait. Look at this chair. It's metal. Les, I told you in order to let you understand why I bought so many massagers for me, you have to try to sit here. Oh, it looks so uncomfortable. Oh. So you have a pillow. You can have a pillow. That's not minimalism. But you have more options. So like you can change the color from the different season. This is more like winter color and this is the kind of winter as well. And you can turn around. It's not winter. Yeah, it's orange. Okay, David or other David, any David, back me up on this. Is this winter? Absolutely not. Thank you. Maybe how? So let's look at this cable management. Look at this. Cable management? Dog. Let's go look at, okay. Let's go. Let's go see my guest room also slash office. Yeah. Oh, well this is way nicer. What do you mean? It's all Apple stuff. Yeah, but it's not like. Look at the keyboard. There's only one pair of headphones. So this is the kind of thing that people usually like the minimalistic style. Yeah, and David's desk is a lot nicer other than that the drawers are all taped together for some reason. This is the worst that's because this drawer is open by itself sometimes. I think my house is haunted. Are you sure that it's not just not level? Do you own a level? Yeah, it's not level Dennis. That's why the drawer is open. You are pushing, Swa. I'm not pushing it. Okay. Someone's hiding here. Anyways, this desk needs to go. Like also like. This desk looks really nice. Sit here, sit here. Well, the chair sucks. That's your problem. The chair sucks. Okay, look at the, you put your feet. Look at, do you feel it? Oh, you're too short. This room you can see is like kind of empty, right? Like we need something here to pop the room. Really doesn't look very empty to me. I got something to pop the room, Dennis. Ugly chair. I got something to pop the room for you. To pop the room. To pop the room. Look at this neon sign I bought. It's made $400. Live, laugh, laugh. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha. You spent $400 of Intel's money on this? Live, laugh, laugh. No, are you serious? Wait, live, laugh, laugh? Ha ha ha. How did you afford all of this? Because I buy this first and then I figure out, oh, what I need for PC. So this is more important than PCs. I'm so sorry, Intel. I didn't know he was gonna do this. That just looks like complete gibberish to me. What, you don't understand art? Oh, that's cool. Look at that. You don't wanna be on Zoom meeting, just do this. You know what the best mode is for it though? That one. The shadow, Dennis. This is handmade. Look at that hot glue. This is the part I'm most excited for. That. Look at that. See, with the other ones, like either it was someone competent like Anthony, who I could trust to put together good stuff, or I helped them with their list of stuff. This is the first one where I wasn't involved and look what happens. Look what happens. Okay, all right. Let's get this show on the road. Okay. Don't touch your wall. I know, I painted your walls. I don't wanna fix them. There's nothing wrong with this desk, Dennis. I don't like it. How did you get such expensive stuff? Isn't this like a thousand dollar desk? Yeah, but this brand is actually pretty cheap. Oh wait, Lance. I don't have any tools at home. I, yeah, we've been through this. I believe you. I can call my neighbor. I've been called for deliver tools. My tool guy's here, I think. Tool delivery, see? You don't need to own any tools. Look at this, Lance. This tabletop is so pretty, just like dbrand. Well, it's not just like dbrand. I think it's probably better than dbrand. Obviously a natural wood countertop is better than a vinyl sticker. I don't think dbrand would argue with you about that. Yeah, true. Look, so pretty and white and clean. It just, I'll be so happy to edit on this everyday. Sorry, you told David to roll the camera. Was there a point to this or? There's no point, just I think I love it already. Well, he hopefully puts together the desk correctly. I'm gonna build the PC, but since I don't wanna sit on his horrible metal chairs, which by the way, oh my God, you have so many of them, Dennis. What? You spent a thousand dollars on uncomfortable chairs. Oh yeah, I have many of them. I, but the thing is I bought them from Facebook marketplace. So I got a really good deal. I paid $40 each. You know why you got a good deal? Why? Because they're not comfortable. But they're modern, like comfortable to my eyes. So I'm gonna build the chair so that I can sit in the chair while I build the computer. You know you have a drill right there. Why are you doing everything by hand? This is gonna take forever. They don't have the bits for- Dennis, these are drill bits. These are not screw bits. Oh my God, I broke it. None of this is hammed up for the camera. Off camera, it's pure solid gold every moment, just like this. I can't even believe it. Did you just, he's like ripping the handles off his neighbors. Oh, look at that, Lance. They have- Look at that, look at that. They got everything here. Is this a men tool? I know it is. I can tell, cause it's not yours. Test time. How's this chair? I read a really good review from a user who said after a while it was kind of like sitting on, directly on the plastic underneath it. And I can kind of see what they mean. I wish the foam was a little firmer. I'd be way better than the metal chairs. You've been in here this whole time and you put in like- Lance, Lance, first of all- 15 screws. When we lined up this thing, you didn't line up properly. It wasn't the wrong length. I had to take this apart and readjust it. Your fault at first. All right, okay, good job. I fixed it. And you're quite sure that goes there? Yep, 100%. Why would it go there? People do this. I mean, that's where I would put it, yeah. But this is facing back though, right? I would think so. Unless you want your cable management holes coming up in the front of the desk. No, wait, that's not right. Cause then how do you see your phone charger cable come up? No, this is the back. Are the holes in the back or front? Oh yeah, right, right. Sponsored by Intel. So we've gone with a Core i7-10700. Dennis wasn't realistically gonna be overclocking anything. And for what he's doing, eight cores is freaking a lot. So this is a perfect balance of like excellent performance and giving you more money to spend on neon signs. Motherboard choice makes a little bit less sense to me. This is an MPG Z490M motherboard from MSI. It's MATX in spite of the fact that we've got a full-sized ATX case. And it's Z490, which is the flagship chipset that's capable of overclocking and higher memory speeds, which as you may recall, we did not get a K-Series unlocked overclockable CPU. And Dennis cheaped out on the memory going for DDR4 3000. So I don't, I mean, it's pretty. Let's go M.2, we've got a one terabyte Sabrent. Yes, this is the cheapo QLC one. This was part of the save a buck strategy here. This does look like a Gen4 capable slot. It's got the metal thing on it. And this is probably Gen4 ready as well. So you've got a good upgrade path, Dennis. That's good. He's never gonna spend any more money on this. He's busy blowing it on uncomfortable chairs. Hey Dennis, you said you cheaped out on your RAM, but this is like RGB stuff. Yeah, isn't RGB cheap? Well, no, it would be better to just get a better spec instead of RGB. Did you tell Nicholas you wanted RGB? I say I want like, not RGB, I don't count like a little bit lighting, but I don't need RGB, I need white light. Well, yeah, nothing comes like that. I mean. Are they bad? No, they're fine. How big are those? Team group, 16 gigs total. Which is not- 16 total? Yeah, well, you bought chair, neon sign, light fixture, foot massager, shoulder massager. Foot massager. I know, I said that already. Look at this. How pretty. It's very pretty, Dennis. I actually liked your old one better. What? No. Oh my God. What? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? You put the holes in the back. Don't fool me, I know what you're doing. Now that the desk is finally done, do you want to work on the computer or do you want to work on something else? I can work on the cabinet. I have a cabinet. I really not to touch PC stuff. Yeah, that's probably best. Oh jeez, don't feel the socket. Wait, there's no assembly. This is just a cabinet. So what were you going to be working on? Just being lazy. Just for that, I'm going to have you do the light fixture. Oh my God, that's the hardest part. Wait. I don't have a ladder. How are we going to get up there? I'm my neighbor. Wouldn't you just hate being this guy's neighbor? $100 light bulb. Look at this big bulb. I see that. Filing a complaint with HR. Did you get a bulb for it? Yeah, I got it. Oh, did you get it open already? Yeah. Oh my God. I mean, good save. Holy, that's why I do it in the back. What did I do? No, this is connected. Yeah, you got to disconnect it. Hold on a second. We don't even need the ladder. We don't need the ladder. Here we go. I'm coming to the rescue. Oh my God. Oh my God, that's really high. Wow, I'm up really high. Well, you got to pull the wires out, Dennis. How did I pull it? You can't do it. You can pull. Yeah, just pull it. Dennis, did you turn off the breaker? I did. Well, then you don't have to be ginger about touching it. Just grab it. You don't have to be like, eee. I didn't do that, did I? Oh, this is a really nice case. I love the O11 series from Lee and Lee. Not necessarily like the greatest cooling if you don't configure it right. But if you do, actually the cooling is really solid and lots of tempered glass. I think they look just fantastic. Honestly, it's so nice to have the time to just sit and kind of relax and do cable management while someone else is doing the hard part of the home rig upgrade. Oh yeah, we went with an RM850X from Corsair. It's efficient. It's reasonably priced. It's fully modular, so we don't have any extra cables that we don't need. Maybe one thing about this setup that's a little bit minimalistic is the modular power supply. That's about it. I think that's actually all we need for cable. Oh no. I forgot about all, you knew where I was going with this, didn't you? I forgot about the two boxes of RGB fans. I have never even heard of this brand before. Up here. Apparently they're addressable RGB fans. Are they? Or maybe not addressable. I don't know what they are. But there's a lot of them and they come with a big old controller. Nevermind, so much for my relaxing cable management. Wait, it's touching the heat pipes. It's great. It scratched it. Hi Dennis, what's up? Did you break it? Nope. See, it looks good. Okay. Just step back and look at it. Look how good it looks. That's why I drew an extra hole on the wall. Who says I don't drill? I drilled more holes than you needed. Oh my God, the extra hole you drilled. It's not like hidden. How did you put a hole over there? Because we are marking with a pen. I think it's just a random mark there. And so you just drill the hole. I thought that's my mark. Otherwise it looks beautiful. It's something. Live long, live well. See, you don't need a light. That's why the light I need. And this is the sleeping light. Sleeping light. Okay. Most people turn the light off when they sleep, but. Well, before you go to bed, you watch a movie, chill a little bit. You can use that light. Your TV's out there. We are almost ready to install the graphics card. I got really lucky on the fans. It turns out the included hub, which we're gonna go ahead and plug in down here. So we've got one for fan PWM control, and then one for the J Rainbow jumper. So these are addressable RGB after all. So go ahead and run that right there. Is I don't have to install two hubs because even though each kit only includes five fans, the hub takes up to seven fans. So everything's all wired up back here. You're gonna use this to play League of Legends? Yeah, cause it makes me more powerful in the game. So wait, you just went 3080 just to flex because you can? Yeah. To flex is one of the things I told Niklaus to put out the part. I want to flex. Look, look, it's so beautiful. This does. This is actually a pretty- So pretty. Nice looking card. Gigabyte Vision RTX 3080. Wait, is this a screen on here? Oh no, David, I don't think this is a cheap 3080. Oh yeah, I did ask for a screen on the graphics card cause I want to flex. Dennis? Yeah? I am actually going to call your bluff. I am going to check your budget. And if you exceeded the budget, I'm gonna take that thing off his wall and he's gonna have extra random holes in his wall. Because there will be no light. You can't take that. Well Dennis, if you didn't cheat, then you shouldn't be worried. So do you agree? You agree? Yes, I agree. You agree. If you cheated, I take the light. You take the ceiling light. The wall light. No, no. Okay, where do you want it? That corner. Wait, that's not gonna fit. The bottom. No. I like my table, my desk space. Put it on there. On top of this? Yeah, on there. Ugly. What do you mean it's ugly? You go fuck yourself. I mean, sorry. Cut, cut. I think it's beautiful. I have. I'm, no, I'm ugly. It looks awesome. That's cute. Cute? What the hell? It's beautiful, it's beautiful. Okay, put it here. He's gonna move it as soon as I leave. No, okay, put it here. Actually, that's nice. Whoa. That's definitely RGB. Beautiful. Well, good, all the fans actually work. Dennis, do you not have a mouse pad? Do I need, why do I need a mouse pad? I don't need it. Do I, I'll teach you. We're out of stock. I get it, but they don't have white. So you need us to bring out a white mouse pad. All right, Dennis, we'll do it just for you. Look at that. You even got the silver and white version of the G19 TKL. This thing looks, this thing is fricking awesome. Actually, David, have you tried this? No. I switched to it for my cable management video. Oh yeah, you were there. Yeah, I really like it. It's really expensive. I didn't pay for it though. Neither did Dennis for that matter. But these fans, I swear, they've aged eight years in the like eight minutes they've been turned on. Why is it on DC mode? There's your problem. It auto detected DC fan control mode. So it was running these fans at the wrong voltage instead of pulsing 12. Just press the button, it just walks away. All right, good. Now let's just set XMP and then we're good. Well, I thought the speakers are wireless. Why do I need this? No, this is speaker wire. Do I need them? Yeah, definitely. This is really coming together, Dennis. This is gonna look awesome. I agree that a white monitor. Yeah, well, it's fine, it's pretty. Yeah. Okay, so we'll sync up the RAM now too, I think. Give it a sec. Hey, hey, hey, hey. There we go. Can you do a white collar? Ah, yes. There, how's that? Yes. It matches the sign. Yes, it matches the sign. Does that complete the look for you? Yes. Here it is, Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade. Not minimalistic, that's for sure. This is minimalistic. No, it's not. And look at, I have my massage on. Why does it have an arm swing? So it's like, you can push down, you can, oh, your shoulder will get massage. How are you supposed to use a computer like that? And get your headphones, modern, no, more like future. This is the least minimalistic setup I have ever seen. You're like the bionic man here. I'm gonna do my work, watch Netflix. Ah. Ah. Dennis, is this your thing from Paint Night, when we did the work thing? Yes, yeah. Oh, that's awesome. We did a Paint Night on Workcation. This is Dennis's, that's a building. You know this much. No, no, that one goes on floor. All right then. Hey ho. Fair enough. But how do you, okay, we need to connect the audio though. Yeah, we can connect the audio. Yeah, why is this not, hello? Oh, that's so weird. Okay, Dennis, what'd you do with the aux cable that came with this? Oh, in the box. Well, I told you, it doesn't come with extra cables. So if you had cables, you need to- I thought it's wire. You told me, I know you said that, but then I said it's not. Then why does it, why is it not wireless? Why would it be wireless? So give it a shot. I'll see some video editing. Oh, nice. Now I gotta turn on my foot massager and shoulder massager. Oh my God, it's a lot of work before I do work. Mr. Oh, I wish the desktop speakers were wireless because I can't stand wires. Hook some wire up to it, looks like an IV. Oh my God, I'm so stressed, so stressed. Editing, oh, oh, oh, this is so nice, my shoulder. You're not actually gonna sit and work with this thing on your head, are you? You don't know. This really does not look very convincing, but I'll- Once you use it, you can't go back. Okay, so you push now, you know, and then put your feet in here. Yes, yes. And now you cannot hear anything. I don't think it's possible to work like this. The foot massager is pretty cool. Right? Does it have a higher intensity? Yeah, no, this is medium, this is high, air, and it also has heat, so- I don't need heat for my feet, there's a reason I wear sandals. The heat's not on, is it? It is. Oh, it is, yeah. So the winter time, you feel like cold, you can just put it in, and it also has heat on the shoulder massager. Oh my God, my foot is stuck in it. Oh my God. I can't get my foot out. I think it's eating it, Dennis. Dennis, I can't get my foot out. And I can stand up now too, with a foot massager. You can't stand in the foot massager. Wait. Yeah, I'm looking at it. We haven't got long wires on it yet, so I was a little worried it might just rip things out of the wall. Oh, look at that. All right. Look at that. Not bad, pretty sick setup. And I can also look back to my name, just, oh, feels so nice. Well, I think that's pretty much it for this one. Thanks for tuning in. Massive shout out to Intel, of course, for sponsoring Extreme Tech Upgrade. I think our next one is gonna be Andy, who is gonna be doing a man cave, and then we're following that up with David, who's doing the ultimate streaming setup. We're talking ultimate, like 4K cinema camera for his fricking webcam. Mine's ultimate too. Mine's ultimate comfort. It doesn't look that comfortable.
