 It is finally the conclusion of personal rig update 2015. Yes, I know it is 2016 now That's not the point. The point is that it started in 2015 today is all about the final deployment In the cabinet in the closet, so let's make it happen A-PACER's AS720 is a dual interface USB 3.1 type-c equipped SSD with read speeds of up to 540 megabytes per second Check out the link in the video description to learn more Yeah, let's just like tip it Okay, well I didn't really do anything Now I've got to load up all the other junk into the back of the case So I'm gonna load up the other junk into the back of the case And I'm gonna load up the other junk into the back of the case So I'm gonna load up the other junk into the back of the case And I'm gonna load up the other junk into the back of the case Now I've got to load up all the other junk into the back of the truck here So this is actually our first look at my wife's machine So it also had the front bezel of the same case airbrushed by our neighbor here, neighbor Steve Let's get this baby loaded up, too Looking good Need an optical drive. Ooh, the light scribe Okay, so here's a situation there's actually a lot to do first Okay, so here's a situation there's actually a lot to do first I've got to get this roofless bastard up the stairs I have straight up no idea how that's happening These PCs this UPS these rails these monitors all need to go up the stairs as well this NAS needs the correct hardware put inside it and Finally all of the gear that we are no longer using in here needs to be moved to GTFO So let's get down to it. Shall we? Okay. Well this thing weighs a metric shed load But there are some ways that I can significantly reduce its weight Then by removing as many of the outer panels and inner components as I can before I try and take it up the stairs You move Thank you I need more leverage Okay More traction or something. I need more something. That's what I hate about camera people. They never lend a hand They just sit there and watch I think what I need right now is some Nikki V's lifting tips All right, Nikki V here back with another moving tip Okay, so we got this big-ass thing here. What we want to do is lift with her back twist jerk You know jerking motion. He knows the most ergonomic way to do this Go to sleep. He's supposed to be napping. I'm actually gonna have to go into his room in order to tilt this up Okay, sorry, honey go back to bed Oh wow, that's a really tight fit Okay, it looks like this is going to fit That's good Man this stuff is heavy. Okay, so this and the other one in the room in there already are the clay power Thousand volt amp UPS is that I'm gonna be using for the two systems in there my system gets its own because it's a little bit more powerful and then my wife's is gonna share her UPS with the the server slash NAS Life personal rig. Oh wow, this one's a lot heavier Okay Pro tip. I don't don't carry black mount cases by the mounting rail and Acer said let there be monitor upgrades and there were and It was good. And finally, of course, none of this is staying here It's all gonna be rack mounted so here are my rails So I've been meaning to pull out some of the consumer grade gear that I've had in this server for quite some time This WS board is a great board doesn't support ECC memory this raid card Great raid card doesn't properly support monitoring the discs and then I've replaced all that stuff with a more suitable configuration So while I don't have the ball in six or eight terabyte hard drives that I do at the office I do have one terabyte WD blacks and I am using an enterprise grade SSD cache in raid one To allow me to get the best possible performance out of the yes The you thought they were retired, but they're not emulex 10 gigabit Network card so I'm actually going to be using those combined with the on board nix in order to enable not 10 gigabit But at least faster than one gigabit transfers between all the rack mounted computers just using Single cables from them to each other and actually not having them go through the router of the switch at all I changed up the motherboard to one that has remote management. So I've added a little IKVM module right there I've changed out to ECC memory not really necessary with unraid But I want the utmost instability I'm going to be running VMs on here so that I can have stuff like my air video server running on Windows And then I can have stuff like crash plan running in a docker container. There's a lot of functionality here I may do a follow-up video on just this machine And then I'm running a Xeon processor so that I can take advantage of that ECC RAM and then it uses a very similar Case to clover server actually it's just the 12 bay versus the 8 bay one because at home I don't have those same high capacity drives, so if I want any storage at all I need to have a few more expansion bays there Okay, so now I got to clear out this corner And I really hope you guys either don't look too closely at or don't judge me for my power setup in here I am going to be working on something a little bit better than a power bar running through the wall in the future Okay, so most of the network cables running into the next room over there actually need to go away because All of the networking is pretty much going to stay in here now Yep, that's my that's my wall hole. Oh No, I pulled out the nails. This is the world's most ghetto wall mount So step one is going to be our ups battery backup, so we're going to put these on the bottom because they're really heavy they're a pain in the butt to To move you don't want your thing ending up being all pop heavy and The other main reason is that I don't have shelves for them So I need to sit them on the bottom of the unit so that The entire weight isn't being born by these buttons The entire weight isn't being born by these puppies There we go Okay, one down second GPS here we go So now all that's left to do is plug those into the wall and then all my other devices can plug into those For power so I don't actually have to get back here anymore Okay, so for those of you who haven't played around with rack mount stuff before Basically you take this inner slide You pop the little latch here all this without slicing your fingers open and then these rails Mount to the side of your case with the screws that are included with the rails then You take the other sides of the rails and you mount these inside your cabinet Hopefully in the right position, which is not always easy Wow. This is a really shallow cabinet. I didn't realize these weren't the same depth As the ones at the office. That's okay. That is a very minor curve ball No, I'm one spot high Of course I am Yeah, it needs to go down just a touch So weird Wanted to work up a sweat today. I was thinking could go to the gym today or I could Mount some server crap Can let's just stay in place Please Right, this is fine as long as it's a fit That's weird. What are we hitting? Maybe if we just give it the old ah, there we go three units rack mounted Easy, okay. It's okay. It gets easier These rails are so much friggin better They lock on like that. No nonsense. There's Do this one now? Now these ones are a little bit more finicky to align here I can live with that for the benefits that they give There we go, look at that man, I love these rails it comes free of the entire thing so you can just go boop I'm working on the wife PC Slide that baby back in there There it is Okay last one And I like those rails better Oh Fortunately these are really fast to turn around It's in so let's get it all wired up then I'm probably gonna get your mounts for the ubiquity router as well as the net gear switch at some point I am gonna give myself another power bar as Well up here. I have a more elegant solution at the office, but this actually isn't too bad I'm just gonna hook those up on top here UPS's are on let's get networking hooked up Okay, this is going well now Ethernet for waifu PC. I mean okay Overall not perfect cable management still needs some work. Yeah, this is as good as it's gonna be for now Okay, so with everything hooked up it is finally time for the secret sauce the magic bullet if you will and those of you who have been following from the beginning will already know this but I've had a lot of people asking me who have tuned into personal rig update 2015 later How are you planning to get all of your IO into the next room? One optical thunderbolt cable per system from Corning That's why I added those asus thunderbolt cards to the systems So all I've got to do is run these puppies through the wall and in theory We're pretty much off to the races How much is left okay Okay now obviously a single thunderbolt cable no matter how magical Is gonna need something on the other end to make it work so that Is where these come in these are thunderbolt hubs from Elgato They've got three USB 3 ports. They've got mic and headphone jacks They've got thunderbolt passthrough if you want a daisy chain more stuff and if you wanted they've got an HDMI out as well as Ethernet We're gonna use thunderbolt 2 display port to go straight to our monitor And that is all the IO for the computer Again cable management not done, but it is somewhat moment of truth time Oh I hope this works Here it is theoretically perfect silence with no performance compromise Whoa it worked right away What were the friggin odds of that Nothing ever works on the first try for me All we've got to do in theory is get some thunderbolt drivers installed on the system Which I have to do from over here Ah yes always connect Elgato Thunderbolt dock Okay Hey look at that Keyboard's working It worked once now we just have to do it again All that's left is to run one more thunderbolt cable And we are pretty much off to the races Ah someone was asking from my tweet the other night what desk this was And the answer is it is a desk sawed in half full of cardboard For years for years I have pursued silent computing And in the end thunderbolt was the answer No amount of water cooling ever made it quite good enough And people asked me Gee Linus why would you care about having a window in a RacknOw case That's why suckas That's why Because that looks flippin awesome So this one's actually relatively tested I have at least tried the Asus Thunderbolt card on this one Let's just give her the old reboot and see what happens Maybe someone was just jostled loose in shipping and I can just Oh hello Okay let's find out what postcode A2 means CPU fan error Oh that's no big deal I have a CPU fan it's watercooled In theory we should be fine this time Let's go out there You gotta cut out all this stuff so that you just show the part where I'm like And it goes Wait a minute Ow Power bar is a little stinky Oh for crying out loud Well there we go Just like that my friends Hey look at that G-Sync showed up working right over there Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Hey look at that G-Sync showed up working right away G-Sync display connected So it looks like the display port connection doesn't care at all That it's running through what is this Like a 30 foot optical thunderbolt cable Frickin awesome So there you have it All that remains to be done now And all the noise stays in there Speaking of which Braintree Their code for easy online payments is fantastic If you're building a mobile app and searching for a simple payments solution With the Braintree V.0 SDK Which is one small snippet of code You can be all set up in less than 10 minutes With their support staff ready to walk you through the process over the phone If you need them to Their code supports Android, iOS and JavaScript clients And they have SDKs in seven programming languages So with Braintree you can offer multiple mobile payment types Including PayPal, Apple Pay, Bitcoin, Venmo, cards and more All with that quick single integration And they have knowledgeable developer support if you have any questions So to learn more and for your first $50,000 in transactions with no fees Go to braintreepayments.com slash Linus We've got that linked in the video description If you're wondering what to watch next Check out the video we did recently Where Luke determined once and for all Does cable management affect cooling performance?
