you know we had a whole intro plan for Elijah's $5,000 AMD ultimate Tech upgrade, and then I walked through the door, and I'm like, Is that cat pee? and also, Why is there a gigantic bag of discount no-name potatoes? Welcome Home, the crazy cat lady Vibes are so strong. Yeah, I have three; that's why I bought an automatic litter box. The good news is the way Elijah likes to put extra holes in things should make this the fastest upgrade ever, if you know what I mean. Oh, that's not my fault; please don't break my house. In all seriousness though, his setup is already pretty good; like, we could be out of here by lunchtime. All he wants to do is improve his streaming stuff, so a bit of a faster computer there, and some new webcam there, and what is that pile? Why do you have a Minecraft mini fridge? That's just for decoration. I'm also building a brand new NAS, moving my current computer into another case, building a brand new gaming system, we're all putting it in a server rack machine.

and oh, and I did get that litter robot. This is going to be an issue. It's 10:37. We've only got minutes till your shift ends. Well, we better get going. I can claim overtime. Thanks, AMD. AMD is here again to give you guys a chance to win one of three Rog Alli X's with Final Fantasy 16, powered by one of AMD's best mobile chips. The Alx is perfect for gaming on the go, especially with its 80w hour battery. All you have to do is head down to the description and follow the link for your chance to win. Thanks, AMD, for sponsoring this series. Before we get started, find, oh man, there is so much to unpack in here. Did you not realize you had a Funko Pop problem when you started needing to put them sideways to fit them on your wall? Like, you kept buying them. Also, more importantly, why do you hate Apple Jack? What do you mean, where's Apple Jack? I couldn't find Apple Jack. These are really tough to find, by the way. Excuses. Oh my goodness, any true

collector would have Applejack. That's true. All right, I'll buy it on eBay. No, no, I'm just joking. Oh, I don't want to be judgmental here, but you waste so much money on what the... Is this... These are... I know what they are. You were asking. I was trying to help. I thought you didn't know. I know what an amido is, and I know how much they cost. Yeah, no wonder you have to steal things from the office. I have stolen nothing. Really? Like this? That was a gift from... From who? From Ryan and Creator Warehouse. Thanks, Ryan. I don't know if he paid for it. And this? That one I paid for. I used my employee budget. Okay, there's no way you actually bought a belfine keyboard. That has got to be the one from short circuit. I bought it before I found out we were getting one for short circuit. You bought a bathwater keyboard? I have good reasons. My keyboard was breaking. I like collector's edition things, and I wanted a keyboard in that color scheme.

It was great. It was a good deal. 1,000% stolen. Well, that's all part of the upgrade. It's like backup stuff, just in case we don't need it or we do need it, you know? But yeah, stolen. Like, he went and took these off of our set deck so he could have the limited edition ones. They were in the generic bin backup. I bet $1,000 they were in the generic bin. I paid for every single one of those. This has never been for sale. I found a black shaft in a bin when we were allowing employees to make custom screwdrivers, and I took it 'cause it's a number two pencil. See, got the lead yellow, yellow and pink for the eraser. This is just the stuff he had on display. No, you're not allowed going in there. I'm dead serious. Wife will... don't you dare. Wife will kill me, please don't. I'm not... look, I'm not looking, okay? Taylor will crack the whip. Yeah, she's scary. Oh my God, two whale plushies.

there's no way. Uh, yeah, I paid for one. Uh-huh. Why do you have mini PCs? Oh, those are from my... just on display. Those are for my old job. I tried to make a cluster out of NUCs, and I was going to call it the cluster NUC, but I never got to it. I had like 10 at one point. Oh my God, there's more Funko Pops. Yeah, you need to stop. I have like... how much does that cost? Last I checked, it was like 180 Canadian. I think we need to do a David-style intervention with him. No, no, please. I mean, I could pay off like every ounce of debt I have if I sold them. You should not own Funko Pops and debt. Well, no, it's for when the building burns down. I'm waiting for the insurance payout. Are they even insured? Yep. Well, I have home insurance on the content in the home, and like it, you know it, you know it. It's part of L. It's okay. We have three computers to build.

mhm. I was thinking we could give Colin the NAS. He could just kind of work on it on the counter back there. I think he's capable. And then you and me can fight over who builds the brand new gaming PC or has to transplant that computer. I'm not fighting you, okay? Which one would you like to do? I hate your case so much. He came to a land at my place. He brought this stupid thing. Takes up like half the table so often. I want to ask like what's wrong with you. Don't answer that, okay? I was going to say it's going to be a while. Yeah, like you have a razor chair. Who buys this? Look at it. It's so broken. The metal is shearing. I will fall over and it will break one day. You know it's bad for your back. Hey, yeah, it's fine. I'm buying a new chair next month. I was already 2K over budget so I couldn't fix a chair into it. Drop a like on this video and leave a comment if you

think it's time for Elijah to sell his Funko pops while they're still worth anything, get himself an ergonomic chair, and pay off his Funko Pop debt. Well, since you hate that case so much, I think you should transplant. I'll transplant the gaming PC. I will build a new one. We're giving call in the NZ calling you good. He's good. Yeah, okay, cool. And then what are you doing? I'm going to build the brand new gaming PC. Why do you need two gaming PCs? Well, 'cause that one's becoming a dedicated capture SL streaming PC, and then I'm building a brand new gaming PC so it doesn't have to deal with the overhead of streaming. You already have a capture card? Yeah, but this one does two inputs. So, because I'm getting a new camera, Sony ZVE E10, which HDMI. Please tell me with the amount that you're spending on streaming stuff that you actually make money at it. Yes, the amount that I'm over Twitch this year has covered it essentially. All right, there you go. Oh my

God don't don't knock over dream machine. Don't knock over my Bel doine mouse pad here, Colin. I would ask you to help him, but I think he's sort of beyond that. Are these refurbished hard drives? Uh, I stole them out of my old client's server. They're like from 2012. They were recycling it. I was like, Hey, they're perfectly good 4 terabytes. Editor, can you roll the clip where he said how much stuff he stole? I have stolen nothing. That was a gift. I found a black shaft in a bin. This is borrowed. Yeah, I have a third one too, but yeah, stolen. Oh my God. Since this is just the gaming PC, 7800 x3d, basically like the fastest gaming CPU right now until maybe 9,000 Next 3D chips, but we'll wait and see. It's all going to be sitting on this b650 auror Elite ax. You spent too much on your motherboard. I did, but it has 2.5 gig land, which is what I

want because I'm going to get a 2.5-gig switch down the road, as well as the IO is freaking just stacked on this thing, so I'm... that's why I chose it. I went with G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5 RAM running at 6,000 CL30. I don't know, 32 gigs total. That's more than enough for a gaming PC, right? Your upper lip sweats when you get nervous. Yes, you called out my sweating in the last video. There was not a small amount of comments that were like, How dare you call out a human for sweating, Lonus. Dude, there's no way you're sweatier than me. Anyway, I went with the two-terabyte Kingston NV2. This is taking forever. Yeah, well, I'm working on it, bucko. And then the Assassin X120 refined. Okay, cooler is so cheap. I love it. Remember how we gave Logistics crap in Shad's upgrade for the cover falling? Jamie said, I put the socket cover on, and then the date I noticed you.

didn't mention your GPU. I assume that means you're going to keep using the one from the old rig. Yeah, that's doing all of like the encoding for Twitch streaming. Wait, well, why do you have a secondary machine then? What GPU you're going to have in there? You don't have a GPU. I bought the Yessen Sarai 7900 XTX. This was $150 more than a normal 7900 XTX. It's really pretty. I hope you've enjoyed how much the audience has loved you up until now. That's fine. They're because they're going to hate this. You know what? That's fine. Yeah, even our camera. I was going to wait for you to figure it out like brother. It's going into a rack-mounted computer that doesn't even have a window. I'll know about it. Look how pretty that looks. It's pretty. Oh, pretty unnecessary. Oh my God. God, they put a window over the pass-through heat sink finish so this fan can't blow straight through the card. Yeah, it can. No, it can't.

well it just gets stuck at what point was I such a bad role model for you. Uh, no, hit me again. What do you mean by wobbles? It doesn't wobble. What are you talking about? Well, it was like drooping. I think replacing this is a phenomenal waste of money. I don't think it'll fit. Also, yep, you're replacing it. I do need one of the SSDs out as well. Oh sure, because I'm dual booting on my main gaming PC. Oh really, are you going Linux? Linux is going to be my daily, but there's a handful of games that I still use that require anti-cheat, and so that's going to have the Windows drive. And because it's a dual streaming setup, I can reboot this computer without having to worry about the stream going down. Nice, yeah, okay, that's pretty cool. This is so overkill, dude. You've got 32 gigs of RAM in here. Yeah, a freaking 12-core processor. Yeah, well, that was my main gaming PC. Like, you could have flipped some of this.

stuff and gone with something more modest. Well, no, no, that wouldn't be the Elijah way. Yeah, never sell anything. Exactly. Where's your back plate for this? I'm going to need that. Let me go take a look. All right. The man who keeps everything except his mounting hardware. New plan. The PC will be powered by Cat Monty. You're so cute. Here's our plan. Okay, I install the old cooler again, but I do it properly this time. And then we just have a gap in the rack, and it has no top panel installed. I'm fine with that. That's actually what I was going to suggest. So, I hate that so much. Yeah, well, it's better than someone driving back to the office. I haven't even commented on the fact that his TV is on that wall and his couch is on that wall. How the do you watch TV like that? So, like, is this how it's normally like this? I moved out of the way just for the shoot. Sure, I well, I also have a VR headset. We could set it up today. You want? Then I have VR.

room, but that's way over-scoped. We're already building three computers. It's not like you need a room-scale experience for what you're doing in it. Where's this tissue box? Stop. Bet it's... I bet it's right there. Stop. I have a wife. I don't need to... Actually, don't leave that in. My wife would... My wife would f***ing kill me. No, you dare leave that in. Oh, you've got the Precision. That actually would be a more appropriate... Where did the screwdriver go? I was like so scared for a second. This is Kyle's personal... So I got so worried. Uh, hey, where's the mounting hardware for your case? Oh, that's in the server rack. Oh my God. I completely overlooked the server rack. Facebook Marketplace, $100. Liking these cases pretty simple. This is the same company that made that Cerberus little matx gaming saem that I have, right? Sliger? Yeah, that's... Yeah, they have multiple depths as well and different options, so you can actually get ones with 5.25 bays and other front IO.

and stuff. I went with these because my server rack is pretty shallow, so this is the shallowest they make this case, and they actually don't sell Pink as one of the options. Oh, they reached out, and they were like, Hey, we've been wanting to send it to someone. Does the person who's getting the upgrade want it? And I said, Hell yeah, man. These guys really don't mess around with the number of screws they include with this case. Look at this. Uh, I need a power supply. What am I using? The old one? Oh, right. You're putting a 1200 WT 80 plus Platinum power supply in a freaking second AR computer. I need the... I want to make sure that this one never fails. This one can't fail. Actually, do you know which one did fail? We just published the labs result for the one that's going in the NZ, and it failed. Both stopped functioning before we completed our tests, so we cannot recommend it. Oh, hey, there we go. Nice. Now I've got enough room for your stupid Overkill power supply. Honestly, hanging

out with Elijah makes me so much more offended by just the exploitative sales tactics that companies use to get people to waste their money. mhm I have this is who they're exploiting the face is this and the name is Elijah C for you am I putting the Elgato card in here no you we are putting where'd it go the a media one okay so I'm putting the live gamer duo in yeah okay it's got two inputs one can do 4K 60 or in my case 1440p 120 and one we'll just do 1080p60 which is perfect cuz for my webcam basically perfect I'm pretty close to done this build I guess they didn't include any fan screws though right just about to put in fans well just zip tie them that's what Colin's doing what no yeah just take the lean Lee ones and zip tie them but no those are I thought you were telling me take the lean Lee ones to get the screws from

them no no no. Why are all of your fans zip tie? 'Cause I didn't have any screws. I'm getting that weird head. I get where like I'm light-headed from how stupid something is. Like that's a special headache, Elijah. You're welcome. I also got these two 27in Dell monitors. They do 75 HZ 1080p. These are just going to be for my streaming computer on the side so that way I can like watch OBS and chat. So then I will take my current monitor situation and I have another similar stand that we're going to do on the other side. So then I'll have five monitors total. I have all the screens. It booted. Oh, you finished with the NAS perfect. It does have display ports but the CPU that's in here, the 5,500, doesn't actually support onboard graphics. So we're not going to be able to get a display on it. But I did pre-install the SSD. It's configured so once we connect network to it, we'll be

able to see our nashar, but we can see at least if it boots up. Oh, she. So, we got our fan filter. Nice. These will definitely stay dust and cat hair free, or at least they would if this was going to have a top on it. Well, we're going to just lay the top on top like we just like, Yeah, okay. Are we putting this in there or what? Yeah, Elijah, are you going to put any of the PCI covers in? No, I don't. It's extra airflow. No, it's going to take so long. Take some pride in your work. Mama Mia, that's the spiciest spaghetti. Oh my God, it looks so bad back here. So, these are all the peripherals for my streaming PC, so like my stream deck, my GoXLR there. Look how much more quality that looks. It's going to be in the server. You're not even going to be able to see it. Use zip ties to install your fan. So, that's all we need to know about you. Okay, where does this one go on the

bottom that goes on the lower one. Y, she's at bottom. Do you need help? Um, let's say no. I said no. I'm sorry. There we go. There you go. It's got a little. She's a Lippy boy. No, move your hands. Move your hands. You don't want your hands in there. Wow, look at that. You can fit so much computer in this bad boy. Okay, where's the next one? Come plus no. Oh, so C done. You're get didn't you adopt more cats recently? I have five now. Holy, like I said, I have some collections myself. Isn't that a great pink? This is a great pink. Move your hands. It was in. Oh, totally scraping my paint. Thank you. Hey, now we're racking boys. Time for the navs. Colin, you closed it up. Well, we got to show the people what's ins. If he wasn't so funny, all the things he says, I don't think we'd put up with having him around. That's true. Goon cave. I thought we took the pin back.

how'd you get it? I blame you. I don't know. Wait, you didn't hook up all your backplane. That's fine. I only have eight available because of this LSI card. Okay, so this is really practical then. You can get LSI cards that could do four of these cables to do 16 drives. This does 10 3.5s and 4 2.5s, right? So you should have gotten one of those then. I should have. You need another fan. These cards are not designed to sit here with absolutely nothing on. Like, they got a little heat sink on them because they are expecting to be in a server or workstation with a lot of airflow. You need a fan here. Okay, well, good thing I grabbed the noons. Oh shoot, I used them all. Solve your problem. Thank you. What is this one? It's from your air cooler that we didn't use. Oh, okay, cool. I realistically steal more fans from work. Don't do that. Alex gave me permission. Alex doesn't own them. He's

in charge of the inventory. He's in charge of protecting the inventory, so he knows what he can let slip by. Do you want to know what he sold me? Well, I have two computers now, right? So, that would in turn mean I need two keyboards and two mice. This is why he doesn't want me going into that room. So, I bought the original belfine keyboard kit from inventory. Um, so you have two of them now? Well, yeah, I have one of each. She looks all innocent, but she's a predator. You know that, right? Why she prays on well people like you. That's fine. I'll take it there. That's kind of like, yeah, that's good enough. It's good enough. I swear he puts more time and research into things when he produces videos for you guys. He cares a lot. Do you remember our first video? Nope. What are you planning to store on this? I shouldn't ask, actually. Forget it. Forget I asked. No, I know you stream that. You don't need to store that on hard.

drive yeah exactly. I also record a backup of every stream because you can record out of OBS at a higher bit rate than Twitch allows you to upload to. So then you get a higher quality source file. Look at that, they don't go all. Yeah, this is as far as they go. Uh, no, I'm so triggered right now. Okay, fine then, just do this. Oh no, had you considered a KVM? I considered it, I didn't like the idea of it. I wanted the second Bel doine keyboard. A KVM would have allowed him, especially one from Wendell. Those are super cool. They'll do like quad monitors off of a single one, so you can just switch between the computers and have the same set of peripherals, monitor, keyboard, and mouse for both of them. Uh, but instead he'd rather clutter up his desk with more eirl merchandise. Yeah, we need networking, but I bought the dream machine SE. Oh, that's cute foam. Yeah, it's actually cool. I like it. How cute their foam is. It's the cutest foam. Yeah, I

unironically play with it for 5 minutes at work when I unboxed the it acts as an NVR so you can have security cameras and all that it acts as a router it acts as a switch um it acts as a UniFi controller so you can add any UniFi devices you like without needing a cloud key or anything like that and it needs some ears yes where's your ears at right here where do you want it top uh right here nice look at that all right for $100 I think it's a pretty good price on our server rack yeah ow this you'll be proud of UPS yes I am proud that you have a UPS minus treat treat this with some respect dude dude oh I'm taking this now do it do it yeah yeah yeah yeah did you know he had this no I had no idea I'm giving it to Andrew I didn't know I had it Elijah you actually can't steal stuff from work I didn't know I had it What do you mean you didn't know you had it I probably

choose your next words carefully. I probably had it in my backpack 'cause we went on a shoot where we needed it, and I probably took it out of my backpack and forgot about it. 100%. I was thinking about criticizing his headphone choice, but now I just don't have the energy anymore. What? What's wrong with it? They're basic. Yeah, that's why I bought them. Do you know what I was using before? For the money you wasted on gamergirl crap, you could have really nice headphones. Honestly, I'd rather use in-ear. These are $12 JBLs. I'd rather use them. They're really uncomfortable. Have you ever worn these for an extended period of time? Do you have anything nice to say? Like, why do you come into everyone's house and immediately criticize everything? No, I'm not criticizing that you're on a budget. I'm saying that for the money those cost, they weren't that expensive. 110 US. All right, for the money those cost, you could have something legitimately comfortable. They are comfy. I find them comfortable. And that won't

fall apart. Well, yeah, that I don't know. They'll no, I do know. Okay, well, just buy new cups from Wicked Cushions. But now they don't cost 110 anymore, do they? Oh, I'm going to save money by heating my pool with my computer. That way, I save money. Also, Line is literally floods his entire server room, so he has to buy new computer gear. Okay, no, no, no, no. I made money. I made a video about it, and I will stream one of the streaming angles I set up. Yeah, is so that you can like kind of watch the living room. We call that the FNAF cam or the Five Nights at Freddy's camera. Uhhuh, which is why I got the Poe-powered dream machine, so I can put UniFi cameras nice and have them everywhere, right? How many monitors are you planning to? I'm going to have five. Well, where do these ones go on the other side? Why do you need two on a secondary PC? One for OBS and one for Twitch. Why are you using

your G502 well because that's my favorite mouse. Well, then why did you buy a Bel deline mouse? Well, it came with the set. Well, why don't you sell it then? Because it comes with the set, so I'm not going to break up the set. What? I actually don't think that looks very good. What? What, the mouse pad or the keyboard? I'll let you guys tell them what's wrong. It's like a colorblind guy and did your interior design. I like this. This is looking good. I just don't know what to do. I don't understand what goal we're driving towards here. He keeps saying we're doing a great job, but I, it feels like we're doing something illegal. So now we need to do all the streaming stuff. Do you want to install my new camera? Sure. Okay, grab my camera and grab the Elgato wall mount. Yes, sir. We're going to remove this foam panel. We are, and that's where the camera can go. Wow. Oh, there's an extra hole in the wall. Who to thunk it while he's finding

a stud finder. We've got the Elgato wall mount and a zv E10, which I have no idea anything about other than that it's a Sony camera and it comes with a lens, and it's probably pretty good, probably overkill for streaming, and it does 4K. I got my drywall anchors. Time to put some holes in Elijah's wall for a change. Okay, do you have a hammer? Yeah. Okay, $88,000 worth of Funko Pops, no hammer. Oh, oh, I got a hammer. Let's all get hammered. There you go. You use this to hammer something in. I'll wait. Okay, get it? Yeah, buddy. All right, Elijah, we got this. I know we do. I've been confident the whole time. Hey, I get it. Whole time because this is a lot of power in the rack. I'm drawing from two outlets, so I'm bringing a power bar all the way from over there, and we're going to use our MCM just mounted up under the desk here. These are the Key Bar holders. Hey

magnetic Cable Management. Let's go lcg store.com baby. I only got three of the anchors in without destroying them, so this last screw is just cosmetic. Nice, that's pretty good. Oh yeah buddy, hey not bad, not bad. Do you have a power adapter for that? Because I don't want the battery to swell up. I actually bought a dummy battery off of AliExpress. Nice. So then this will just go in there, yep, just to a USB, which I have a wall wart somewhere that will plug in. Perfect. And then there you go, go. I don't ruin my nice battery. Nice. I need the HDMI from that camera. Mhm. So that's just a mini HDMI to a full HDMI. That's going to that a media capture card. M mhm. One thing that's really important with these micro HDMI connections is that you have some kind of strain relief on it. We don't want the weight of this cable just hanging off of this connector because it will die. It's not, it's not if, it's when. Um, so what I'd

like to do is zip tie these guys onto the mount once we've got it kind of locked in, and then that way the weight can hang off the zip tie. Putting Elijah's second graphic keyboard on his desk. By the way, there's almost certainly going to be stuff in this video that will not make the YouTube cut, especially in light of us having one of our videos pulled recently. So, uh, lmg Dogg flat plane Riley week is coming up. Do you have flesh cutters at least? I really do have my special headache though that I get from things being too stupid. These scans like you can play who car. Well, I I want you think if I wanted to make a limited edition stupid keyboard I couldn't. Yeah, but you'd spend four years developing it and call it the keyboard that one was personal. Okay, I think that's everything plugged in other than power. What did we even upgrade today? What do you mean added another keyboard and a mouse? That's it and two monitors a really nice camera this. Oh yeah, we did a lot today.

Yeah, should we try and fire it up? What suppos OD do you think they work? Yeah, exactly. Tell me if I'm running you over. You're good. You're good. Okay, you can probably stop. Keep going. Okay, I'm plugged in. Oh, there we go. Hey, there we go. See those fans? Those are the Le and Lee fans. They're just screaming. I probably just need to configure them. Here we go, Bud. Here we go, Bud. We need the pass-through from that capture card, right? That's the one, yes. I wonder if I need the Amedia stuff. If you just want to go and give her a little check there, Bud. Oh, I flicker. Oh, I got three. Okay, hey, well, that's great. Look at that. That's great. This is actually kind of a sick config. So, 7800 X3D, best gaming chip. You got the 7900 XTX that you overpaid for because whatever. And the point is that if you're running Windows and Linux, going AMD is a great option for your GPU. Then over here

you've got your old system with the 12-core Ryzen 3000 processor, 32 gigs of RAM, and a really good encoding card. So, that's your streaming machine. And you know what? I got to give you credit. Other than looking like it was, you know, aesthetically designed by a man, um, it's relatively clean. Yeah, it looks sick, mostly because I cleaned things. Thanks. All right, when I saw this at Walmart for $35, it's a mini fridge that is just in the shape of a creeper. It holds 12 cans of pop. I knew I had to have it. I actually had bought another collector's fridge with Call Of Duty Black Ops 3. It's the Juggernog one over there. It also fits 12 cans, uh, but it broke, so I needed to replace my fridge. I guess it is so flipping hot in here, and this is not going to help, but it looks really cool. Well, it's a mini fridge. I can just leave it open. Not how it works. Oh, but in all seriousness, the setup looks pretty good.

look, Mom, I'm a streamer. She's not proud. Audio is not working. I'm a streamer. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a streamer, and I need to reconfigure it to all of the audio coming out of this one to make sure it's going to this OBS. I haven't been able to do that yet because we were just getting it all working. I can do that. I don't want to spend any more time. It's already. I'm in the OT time now. You can't get OT for upgrading your own house. Uh, yeah, I can. How does that work in the province of British Columbia? Employees are only mandated to work for a maximum of 8 hours a day. Sup, new camera. Who even needs a cameraman anyway when I can have three drywall anchors? Oh, yeah, you want to go look at the lit robot? Oh, so you have the hopper. I don't have the hopper. Yeah, which generation do you have? I have generation three. Okay, so this is the fourth generation. Oo, so there it is. Okay.

uh, you got an error on it. Yeah, they're still getting used to it, but they have used it like basically right away, and now I have an app, so I get notifications at work every time they poop. Nice, yeah. And then the hopper, you can kind of see it on the back there, yeah. So it adds more litter every time they use it when it detects that it needs it. It essentially is just like, Oh, it's a little lower on weight, puts a little bit more in. That's actually kind of great 'cause, like, topping up the litter is the only real work you have to do with it. Yeah, great success. Does look good. It thinks it's running at 4K too 'cause we haven't quite configured a media, and it's handling it like pretty good. Beast, yeah, that's what you get when you get 7800 X3D and a 7900 XTX Saari Edition. Specifically, the Saari Edition does not make it faster. Yeah, it does. No, it doesn't. It's like RGB, it doesn't make

your computer faster. Oh, I don't know about that. Why else would I get it? Because you're gullible. Thanks, AMD. We managed to move his three machines to a rack, which honestly ended up looking pretty freaking amazing. We've got these, which is wonderful, uh, more monitors. Actually, this is quite the battle station. And this camera looks so much better than the garbage you had before. And it was fine, but this is way better. This does low light, and this apartment has, you know, not great lighting, so this will be. You're going to have to get the setting styled in a little bit. This can do better than that. Oh, 100%. I'm going to play with it after. Yeah, we know you're going to play with it after. Look at this keyboard. Stop.

Linus Tech Tips

Elijah's home is filled with quirky items, including a Minecraft mini fridge and a collection of Funko Pops.

The tech upgrade involves moving his current computer, building a new gaming system, and setting up a server rack.

The upgrade is sponsored by AMD, offering a chance to win a Rog Alli X with Final Fantasy 16.

Building a New Gaming PC and Transplanting Computers

Colin will work on the NAS, while the other two will tackle the gaming PC and its transplant.

One person is building a new gaming PC to separate streaming duties, while the other is transplanting the existing one.

The new build features a fast CPU, DDR5 RAM, and a two-terabyte NVMe SSD, with plans for a 2.

The speaker is using a Yessen Sarai 7900 XTX GPU for a secondary machine, which is $150 more than the normal model.

The setup includes a dual boot with Linux and Windows for gaming, aiming to reboot without disrupting the stream.

The speaker is also using a rack-mounted computer and has a unique case from Sliger, which offers various depths and options.

Upgrading a Server Rack: The Build Process

The server rack upgrade involves using a shallow case and an overkill 1200 WT power supply.

The build includes a live gamer duo card for streaming, with two Dell monitors for OBS and chat.

The setup aims for five monitors in total, with a pre-installed SSD for the NAS and a focus on extra airflow and cable management.

The conversation involves setting up a computer system with various components and discussing the speaker's recent adoption of more cats.

The speaker mentions the practicality of using LSI cards for multiple drives and the need for airflow with additional fans.

They also talk about acquiring keyboards and mice for two computers and the option of using a KVM for switching between them.

Setting Up a Multi-Functional Server Rack

The server rack unboxed acts as an NVR, router, switch, and UniFi controller, offering a range of functions for security and network management.

The conversation includes playful banter about headphone choices, office theft, and the need for comfortable gear.

The setup involves planning for multiple monitors and streaming angles, with a focus on installing a new camera for added surveillance.

The setup includes an Elgato wall mount and a Sony ZV E10 camera, with drywall anchors and a power bar for wiring.

The camera is connected to a media capture card via a mini HDMI to full HDMI cable, with strain relief using zip ties.

The upgrade features a second graphic keyboard, a mouse, and two monitors, along with a powerful AMD gaming chip and GPU for optimal performance.

The streaming machine features a 12-core Ryzen 3000 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a good encoding card.

A mini fridge in the shape of a creeper was purchased to hold 12 cans of pop, replacing a broken collector's fridge.

The setup includes three machines on a rack, a new camera for better lighting, and a stylish keyboard, creating an impressive battle station.
