A Joyful Upgrade - AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade

0:00 How do you upgrade a man who already has seven computers?

0:08 Well, we're going to have to figure it out

0:10 because our very own king of labs benchmarking, Mr.

0:14 Nick Harris, just won an AMD ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade.

0:19 Congratulations, Nick.

0:20 Here's one stick of memory.

0:23 This This is mine.

0:25 I know.

0:25 I borrowed it for this bit.

0:26 [laughter] We actually got a whole bunch of really cool stuff,

0:30 including some pro networking gear, a new test bench, some smart lighting,

0:34 and he even had room in his budget for a friend.

0:39 Isn't that cute?

0:41 Oh god, it's weird.

0:45 No need to hurt his feelings, my friend.

0:48 He had so much fun with Riley.

0:49 I'm going to have fun with him as well.

0:53 Wait, that's phrasing is kind of bad on that.

0:56 Yeah.

0:58 And he's also got some sick new gaming gear from our sponsor AMD.

1:02 Let's see what someone who tests hardware for a living would buy for himself.

1:13 [music]

1:20 Hello LT viewers.

1:21 I've been told that our [music] recent giveaway segments have been too much fun.

1:25 It's got to stop.

1:26 And AMD representatives [music] have requested that this giveaway contain

1:29 no thrilling or comedic aspects whatsoever and zero flights of fancy.

1:34 With that said, then it brings me no joy to tell you that AMD

1:38 is giving away two amazing gaming bundles

1:41 containing AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D [music] CPUs.

1:45 Basically the best CPU on the market and Power

1:48 Color Hellhound Radeon RX970 XT 16 gig graphics cards.

1:54 basically the best 976 game as well.

1:57 By entering using the link below, you too can have so much fun that you'll

2:01 get a talking to from somebody, maybe your dad.

2:04 Tell your dad you love.

2:05 But what your dad won't have is one of the best gaming combos on the market.

2:09 Unless he also received one of the two giveaway bundles that can

2:14 be yours by entering the giveaway using the link in the description.

2:17 Click the link, nerd.

2:18 Have fun gaming with your dad.

2:20 Okay, back to the video.

2:22 How do I [music] put this?

2:25 This is one of the most vanilla nerdom spaces that I've ever been in.

2:30 Sorry, I've never been called vanilla before.

2:33 [laughter] No, no.

2:33 I mean, no matter what nerdom it is, it's represented here.

2:37 We've got Star Wars, we've got Lego,

2:39 we've got Dungeons and Dragons, we've got computers,

2:42 we've got Star Trek,

2:44 we've even got some of those those vinyl things, Funko Pops.

2:48 There's everyone has seems to have like a niche

2:51 that they're into, but somebody has to be a normal nerd.

2:56 There's a bunch of 1enters, but who's part of the 90%.

2:58 It's like that moment when you're in traffic and you realize I am the traffic.

3:03 You're the type of guy who goes to ComicCon.

3:06 No fan expo.

3:08 Even worse, I like your lowfi Lego Star Destroyer, though.

3:11 Uh, it's a work in progress.

3:13 Wait, is that how the Star Destroyer actually works?

3:15 Like, it uses Technic for the inside?

3:17 Uh, not in the movies.

3:19 No.

3:22 Well, this seems controversial.

3:27 I mean, I'd have ours if we had one.

3:30 Let's look at your upgrade,

3:32 which I can barely even get to without tripping over a computer or two.

3:36 Well, that's why we're not building one today.

3:38 We're upgrading all the infrastructure around the computers.

3:41 We're solving networking for me once and for all.

3:45 Tel has had a 5 gigabit deal.

3:48 Now most of my devices are only like 1 gig or 2.5, right?

3:52 So with Ubiquiti, I'm like future proofing.

3:54 I no matter if I move again or whatever,

3:56 I'm like all my stuff is 5 gig with 10 gig SFP ports if I choose to.

4:02 Cool.

4:02 Okay.

4:03 All right.

4:03 Let's let's do some networking first then.

4:06 I don't want to say you're in the way, but fine.

4:11 I'll tell you guys about the USW Pro Max switch over here.

4:14 Then we've got a really nice mix of ports and functionality here.

4:18 We've got eight PoE plus ports that run at gigabit speed,

4:21 eight POE++ ports that run at gigabit speed,

4:25 and then eight PoE++ ports that run at 2 and 1/2 gigabit speed.

4:30 Then we've also got a couple of 10 GB SFP uplinks.

4:33 This allows him to run as much security

4:35 camera or home automation crap as he could pretty

4:38 much want because it has a total of 400

4:41 watts of power that it can deliver over Ethernet.

4:43 And then of course highspeed networking.

4:46 What are you working on?

4:47 A disc.

4:48 Wow.

4:51 Yeah.

4:50 You know what?

4:51 Good job.

4:51 Thanks.

4:53 No.

4:53 Yeah.

4:53 Just just be natural.

4:54 Just talk to us.

4:55 That's like vanilla natural.

4:58 I'm sorry.

4:59 I didn't mean for that to be like mean.

5:01 I just No.

5:02 I don't know.

5:02 Vanilla is not a bad thing to be.

5:04 Not everyone has to be spicy all the time.

5:06 I just feel a little bit like your place is how the Big

5:08 Bang Theory might have set up like a nerd's apartment, you know?

5:13 Dude, that's me.

5:14 Yeah.

5:14 See, that's Wow.

5:17 That's really

5:18 went from vanilla to like Big Bang Theory.

5:20 Say bazinga.

5:21 Say bazinga right now.

5:23 You're joking.

5:25 Bazinga.

5:25 I don't really do networking in rack mount.

5:28 Yeah.

5:28 No, that I I did pick up on that.

5:30 So, if you're not familiar with Nick, he's mostly on like the software side.

5:34 So, developing benchmark tools, uh, methodologies, [music] um,

5:38 and it's mostly on like consumer hardware,

5:40 whereas like this stuff is kind of a different beast.

5:44 Like I wasn't familiar with all the, you know,

5:46 various standards for [music] rack mounting crap until

5:48 I had to be because of work either.

5:50 Basically, if it's physical, I don't do it.

5:52 And that's exercise and networking.

5:55 That's not even true.

5:56 You've been coming to badminton night, by the way.

6:00 I don't think I have ever seen this before.

6:03 Where on earth did you get Robertson rack screws?

6:10 Whoa.

6:09 I don't know.

6:10 I don't know him.

6:12 Who's Robertson?

6:13 [music]

6:13 You know, the square ones, like the the Canada only ones.

6:25 Adam, you appreciate this is super weird, right?

6:27 Yeah, that's crazy.

6:28 I've never seen a Robertson rack screw.

6:29 Oh, sorry.

6:30 Let me try again.

6:31 Whoa.

6:32 You know, Nick, [laughter] I wouldn't have been

6:34 as surprised you didn't know what a Robertson

6:37 screw was if I had seen the absolute hack job that you did on this.

6:41 I didn't do that.

6:42 It came like that.

6:43 This is dangerous.

6:45 I should have warned you about that.

6:46 You should have.

6:47 I uh forgot it was This is a freaking weapon.

6:50 Question for you, Mr.

6:51 Harris.

6:52 Would you like your switch to go in from the front

6:55 or do you prefer your switch inserted from the rear?

6:57 normally from the front like a normal person.

7:00 Thank you.

7:01 Uh well, some normal people do like it from the back.

7:05 It's

7:05 a lot of prep work.

7:06 Would you like me to explain the pros and cons both ways?

7:09 No, no, that's fine.

7:11 Just in the front is fine.

7:12 [snorts] Yep.

7:13 Okay.

7:13 With the main switch installed,

7:15 let's have a look at some of the other networking gear.

7:16 What's this?

7:16 [music] Right.

7:17 This is the Cloud Gateway Max.

7:19 I don't know.

7:19 I wanted to give it a shot.

7:20 I think it has like stuff.

7:25 The premise in software development life cycle is get

7:30 it working first and then iterate and optimize after.

7:34 So get it working and then condense.

7:38 This explains why markbench is never done.

7:42 Wow.

7:43 Okay.

7:43 You know what?

7:44 If this is going to be my platform to defend labs things.

7:46 Okay.

7:46 What?

7:47 Markbench is in rustbench and it's actually all automated now and we

7:50 have a queueing thing that is you don't care about that.

7:53 No, I do actually.

7:54 Markbench is super cool.

7:55 Like we did a short circuit on a GPU

7:57 recently and like the testing was really fast.

8:00 I'm trying to Why did I buy this?

8:05 Presumably so that you could use a single

8:06 keyboard and mouse for up to four computers.

8:10 I can read the box as well.

8:11 Thank you.

8:12 So I did another NAS as well though cuz I was going

8:14 to do the 321 rule where I have three drives in the one NAS,

8:18 two drives in this one, and then one drive in the cloud.

8:20 That is really not Oh, that was funny though.

8:23 One drive in the cloud.

8:25 I like that.

8:26 [music] Why don't you explain 321 to the fine folks?

8:29 What is that?

8:30 I have a truness box that has three [music] drives in it.

8:34 I have this UNESC box with two drives in it.

8:36 Okay, that's not 321.

8:37 [laughter]

8:39 Three copies of your data in at least two different mediums,

8:42 one of which is offsite.

8:44 For drives, we've gone with a couple of 8 TB Iron Wolves.

8:47 We don't need the Pros cuz it's just two drives in this box.

8:50 And we don't even need a ton of capacity because Nick's not,

8:53 you know, putting all of his seven movies on here.

8:55 [music] Uh it's just going to be presumably the the bare essentials,

8:59 you know, photos, documents, that sort of thing, right?

9:04 Yeah.

9:03 Yeah.

9:04 How did it take me this long to notice the chair that was on his kitchen island?

9:08 Did this just get put here?

9:10 Okay.

9:10 Where do you want your Naz?

9:11 Oh, it's all going on top.

9:16 What is the point of a rack?

9:19 Yeah.

9:19 Okay.

9:20 Nope.

9:20 Do what the client wants.

9:22 Goi gave us like uh a leveler your size, but it looks like ubiquity's got you.

9:27 [laughter]

9:30 What are you doing?

9:31 Are you going to do No, don't worry.

9:32 No, no, no, no, no, no.

9:33 I'm not going to do that.

9:34 No.

9:34 Yeah, it was going to be hidden up there.

9:36 What if I You don't need to access it.

9:39 That's the whole point of the network access to

9:44 I won't be able to read the little LED on the front.

9:46 It's got a light.

9:47 Why would you need to do that?

9:47 And yes, you will because there's slots slats [music] here.

9:51 You know, I can re You know what?

9:52 I really I can rearrange it after.

9:54 You know

9:54 what?

9:54 No, no.

9:55 Sorry, sorry, sorry.

9:56 Let me go back.

9:57 This is brilliant.

9:58 I like this.

10:00 Put it there.

10:03 Okay, [music] this is what I was talking about.

10:05 So, we can have the gateway just hidden away up there.

10:08 And we just have this one little Ethernet cable and everything's clean.

10:12 Everything clean.

10:13 Everything fine.

10:14 I'm using the Ubiquiti Wi-Fi Man app to scan

10:17 your apartment for where you have the weakest signal.

10:20 Currently, it's your bathroom,

10:21 which means that's where we're putting the access point.

10:23 I mean, it's where I do my Wordle everyday.

10:27 Exactly.

10:26 Did you see the Mandalorian theme of the washroom, though?

10:31 What?

10:30 What?

10:31 Okay, I want to see this.

10:32 Uh, [laughter] what?

10:36 Adam, you haven't even seen the best part with matching toilet cover.

10:43 [laughter] Yeah, you didn't see the floor mat.

10:46 Okay, Nick, I have the switch.

10:48 I have the gateway.

10:49 I have the Naz.

10:50 What else am I putting in this rack?

10:52 Please tell me it's as many things

10:53 as possible because that's the point of racks.

10:57 Oh, that was me.

10:58 Uh, this is going underneath.

11:01 Okay.

11:01 And then I also need a UPS.

11:04 Yeah, I guess the UPS can just go right back on the shelf.

11:06 What's this?

11:07 Uh, that is a 2.5 GB network card.

11:09 Helpful.

11:10 I knew that.

11:10 Uh, what are you doing with it?

11:11 Uh, it's going in one of these seven computers

11:14 because they all

11:15 very helpful.

11:16 You're getting even more helpful every time.

11:18 Yeah.

11:18 So, which one?

11:19 I don't know yet.

11:20 You know the PC that's in front of you or behind you, the Proxmox, right?

11:25 That one was supposed to go up here.

11:27 Yeah.

11:27 Okay.

11:27 But it's feet, even without its feet, it's like just too big.

11:32 Okay.

11:32 So, the idea was I was going to put it into the smaller fractal

11:34 pink case cuz that fits in with a just a little bit of a

11:39 Okay.

11:39 So, this is the true NAS box.

11:43 Okay, I just put a new uh replacement drive,

11:44 so it should be good to go back in the rig.

11:46 By the way, this is like not the right size at all.

11:51 Earthquake stuff needs to like move around a little bit.

11:55 [laughter] We're going to have a lot of stuff

11:58 left over from this one on the cutting room floor.

12:01 lmg.gg/flat plane.

12:03 We'll see you there.

12:04 All right, check this out.

12:05 The reset switch is right here.

12:07 Which means that if I tuck this thing in here under the shelf.

12:15 There we go.

12:16 Oh, buddy.

12:18 You can totally still reach it right there.

12:22 Boom.

12:24 And the best part is now it's a structural nest.

12:27 Look at that.

12:29 Are hard drives okay being like that?

12:32 Yes.

12:32 Yes, they are.

12:34 Look how nice that is.

12:35 We have the UPS, we have the NAS, we have one system, dude.

12:40 And we've only taken up like half your rack now.

12:42 Is there a reason you felt the need

12:43 to put a gigabit StarTech network card in this system?

12:47 Yeah.

12:47 Well, one of these systems didn't, whether it's the Proxmox OS or Truness,

12:52 didn't like the onboard motherboard, so I put this in here.

12:58 [laughter] But I can't remember which.

13:00 I'm going to assume this is the one that needs to be the add-in card because

13:03 there would be no other reason on this green earth to put this card in a system.

13:09 Why?

13:09 Cuz it's horrible.

13:09 Look at it.

13:11 It's tiny.

13:12 Yeah.

13:13 Well, it's a micro network card.

13:15 By the way, what is up with this?

13:17 The cable management of the system is actually really nice.

13:20 This is the one thing you cable manage.

13:21 I cable manage the PC builds, but not the rest of the house.

13:25 Cuz if you I did the small form factor gaming rig,

13:28 and it's actually pretty great.

13:29 Yeah.

13:29 What?

13:29 What's up with that?

13:32 This is the one part that people don't see.

13:35 I know.

13:37 I don't understand why you don't understand.

13:40 Big moment.

13:40 Mr.

13:41 Harris, try your chair.

13:49 Yep.

13:49 It's mesh.

13:52 What?

13:51 See, this is the the one thing I have no idea how it works are these sensors.

13:57 [snorts and gasps]

13:56 My understanding is that they're like battery, but I have a plug on this.

14:01 Wait, what are these are?

14:02 Hydrometers.

14:03 This is for in the washroom.

14:04 One in here and one in there.

14:05 For what reason?

14:06 [music] Just to know the humidity.

14:09 Yeah, I literally was just looking for stuff

14:11 to put on the wall that connects to Home Assistant.

14:14 You could have gotten like motion detectors.

14:15 You could have had your bathroom so that

14:17 I know when I'm moving the lights turn on.

14:19 Uh later.

14:22 No GPU in here, right?

14:23 Do you see one?

14:24 Well, no, but I don't remember if it had one before.

14:27 Wait, wait, did I hear that correctly?

14:29 Your Proxmox system has a 7950X, like a 16 core in it.

14:36 Yes.

14:35 And then trass is a 5600G.

14:38 How many cores do you have in this doicile?

14:43 7950X 5600G.

14:45 That'll be a 5600 XT.

14:47 That's a 12 something Apple something.

14:52 and then 7800 X3D as the gaming rig.

14:55 Oh, actually the 12900K and the two 3090s.

15:01 That is freaking ridiculous.

15:03 I can't believe I'm building a system with a 7950X

15:06 in it and it doesn't even have a GPU.

15:08 Are you going to do GPU pass through in the future?

15:10 Yes.

15:11 Yes, I will.

15:12 GPU pass through for um Plex.

15:15 Okay.

15:16 Hey, but look at this.

15:17 Ah, so tidy, right?

15:21 It's great.

15:22 Yeah.

15:23 Was this mounted here before?

15:24 No, I just kind of hang it once in a while.

15:26 I'm kidding.

15:27 No, I didn't have the hardware the time.

15:30 Oh, okay.

15:30 Do you now?

15:32 Nope.

15:34 Why are we even [music] here?

15:35 Are you sure you have that whole thing of screws?

15:37 Can I just check and see if there's a screw happen?

15:40 Sure.

15:40 But this wasn't the monitor.

15:41 Actually, this is the monitor.

15:42 The screws are right here.

15:44 The very first ones I picked up.

15:46 He has four of them.

15:46 He 100% [music] has them.

15:50 Nice.

15:52 Nick just informed us that his bedroom is

15:54 more humid than the rest of the apartment.

15:57 I just want to know what is actionable about that.

15:59 I can open a window.

16:03 What is this thing?

16:03 It's pixel light.

16:05 Pixel light.

16:06 I'm going to have put the weather on it.

16:11 The only reason Google still lives is until the Reichi Mini

16:15 is who I talk to to turn my lights on and off.

16:17 So, it'll be that for like display, like weather, time, alerts, whatever.

16:21 And then the Reachi Mini is my voice.

16:25 Yeah, there we go.

16:26 Hear me out.

16:26 What if we put this in here instead?

16:29 No, that's going in there.

16:32 So, we're going to have a mouse and keyboard that are going to be

16:34 right here in the event that they are needed because I don't know,

16:38 we didn't remote into these systems for some reason.

16:41 Whenever I need to remote in, it's usually cuz the network's down.

16:45 And to fix it, I just need to plug in a keyboard anyways.

16:49 I'm with you.

16:50 That looks so much better than it was when we got here, right?

16:55 Yeah.

16:55 We can put the desk there now because I'm actually done with the rack.

17:01 I didn't realize how small this desk was.

17:07 [music]

17:07 Micro desk.

17:08 Nick, do you have a power bar back here?

17:11 Oh, he has a power bar.

17:12 Adam, I just unplugged the light and the speaker.

17:14 Wait, what?

17:15 Don't you want your light and speakers plugged in for when you like live here?

17:18 No, I'll use the longer one that only has

17:21 two cuz I only need to plug in two things.

17:22 What about the test bench?

17:24 [music] I'll take I'll take the power bar from my gaming rig.

17:27 Actually, now's a great time to talk

17:29 about what you're doing with that test bench.

17:30 So, you picked up a Ryzen 7 5800 [music] XT as well as an RX960 XT.

17:36 And my understanding is this is something to do with Linux testing.

17:39 [music]

17:40 I had an extra motherboard and RAM.

17:42 Yeah, I put it together cuz I don't know, Basite and Catchy are catching on.

17:46 So, we did some see catchy catching on.

17:48 Get it?

17:48 Anyways, uh at the last we [laughter] did some testing and it was super easy.

17:53 So, I went and found on marketplace a 3600 to put in the AM4.

17:59 So, we're doing this today.

18:00 So, I picked up long live AM4 socket.

18:03 Like the fact that I can find a 3600 from how many years ago?

18:08 Yeah.

18:08 and then find a processor not even a year like a year old.

18:12 And then what's the plan to do with that?

18:14 Would it move to like a dedicated PC [music] for the TV possibly or like

18:18 uh nope.

18:18 This desk is going in the corner and it's uh just try.

18:25 [laughter]

18:26 All right, let's let's build it up.

18:28 To get all the networking set up,

18:29 we're going to have to get this test bench configured.

18:31 Off comes the 3600.

18:36 And on goes the 5700 XT.

18:39 Sorry, you're changing the cooler out.

18:41 It came with a better cooler.

18:43 It even has RGB.

18:46 For someone who doesn't like RGB, you sure put a lot of it in here.

18:49 It's to play with home automation.

18:50 I don't know.

18:51 I got sensors now.

18:53 Yeah, for hyromation.

18:55 The lights can show.

18:56 The lights can be the same color as the temperature so I can be like,

18:59 "Oo, it's getting hot in here." Really?

19:02 No.

19:02 No one.

19:03 Take off all your Whatever.

19:04 Fine.

19:05 I do think their stock coolers are an underappreciated thing about AMD.

19:10 They really set themselves apart from the competition as part of the the kind

19:14 of the Ryzen comeback and then that's something

19:18 that they've just stuck with ever since then,

19:20 just [music] having dramatically superior stock

19:23 coolers wherever they do include them.

19:27 That's that.

19:28 I guess I haven't talked about it at all.

19:29 We've got a Challenger 960 XT 16 gig from ASRock,

19:33 which is not the most powerful card in the world,

19:36 but for something that just needs to be able to handle basic game testing,

19:39 it is more than enough.

19:42 Hey, Nick, what's this SSD for?

19:44 More games.

19:46 On where?

19:47 The test bench.

19:48 Oh, okay.

19:49 So, we've just got a PCIe Gen 5 drive for games on a test bench.

19:54 You are a confusing man.

19:56 We have a couple of things here that are going on your desk in your bedroom.

20:00 So, what are you What's the point

20:02 of adding these two things to your jerk station?

20:06 Come on, you can't call it that.

20:08 It's in his bedroom.

20:09 That's what it is.

20:11 This is replacing my G502.

20:14 This is an audio interface from MOTU, who I've never heard of.

20:18 How did you find out about MOTU?

20:19 Oh, Motu's been around for a while, like Eteral and Roland and stuff like that.

20:23 Okay.

20:23 So, they're like an established audio brand.

20:25 They're well known.

20:25 This bas This is basically like a Focus right Scarlet 2i2.

20:28 You have two on the front that can either do quarter inch or XLR.

20:31 And on the back you have a MIDI in and a MIDI

20:33 out as well as a couple of other outs for monitors.

20:36 This is pretty slick.

20:37 And I see that you have a bass guitar and a pedal.

20:40 Are you going to play for us?

20:41 You kind of have to.

20:42 Why not?

20:44 Sorry.

20:44 But you can't get an upgrade for your instrument and not play it for us.

20:46 Yeah, I can.

20:47 I just watched Sven not do it.

20:49 That's cuz Sven doesn't know how to play.

20:50 I don't either.

20:51 Do we have a keyboard?

20:52 Oh, this is for the test bench.

20:55 Yeah, it's a gravar Mercury.

20:57 Oh, that's pretty funky.

21:00 What is this, too?

21:01 That's cool, dude.

21:02 Look at this corner.

21:04 This is like command station corner.

21:06 I freaking love it.

21:07 Wa.

21:09 Just here tuned in and ready to help.

21:11 Like a pocket-sized assistant without the pockets.

21:13 So, this is just tuned into Open AI or is it running a local LM?

21:16 N Open AI right now.

21:18 Would the goal in the longer term be to run

21:20 a local LLM for it to do all your home automation stuff?

21:22 Because I can't imagine you'd want to burn

21:24 OpenAI tokens to turn your lights on and off?

21:27 No.

21:27 Uh the idea is to be local.

21:29 Yes.

21:30 So the idea is that he will sit beside

21:32 the pixel display and the Google Nest goes away.

21:37 Yeah.

21:36 And then I can just talk to him.

21:39 Do these do anything or are these [music] just for show?

21:40 They're just for showing.

21:42 It's got a plethora of emotions.

21:44 So you can ask it to like look something and it'll okay scared surprise.

21:49 [music] Can you do your best impression of an angry horse?

21:52 Can't do animal impressions,

21:53 but I can show a frustrated emotion if you'd like a humanish equivalent.

21:57 Sure.

21:57 Do your best.

21:58 Best take on frustration.

21:59 No horse sound, but hopefully it gives you the idea.

22:04 You know what?

22:04 Good job.

22:05 What is going on here?

22:06 I was trying to We're getting things kind of cleaned up for the, you know,

22:10 the after pictures and stuff.

22:12 You know, this is not where art goes, right, sir?

22:17 Yeah, that needs to go on the wall still.

22:20 Yeah, we should have put this up today.

22:21 That's so cool.

22:22 I think Adam even has exactly the place for it.

22:27 Oh Right.

22:28 That actually works really well.

22:32 Boom.

22:33 If you told me that Spider-Man came flew in and zed me.

22:36 What do you think?

22:38 I don't know.

22:38 It was underneath the TV.

22:39 It was doing just fine there, but now it's up, so it's good.

22:44 I think this is about to boot.

22:46 Yep, memory training just finished and it's rebooting.

22:49 She's up and running.

22:51 I think we're done.

22:52 We got your rack completely sorted out.

22:55 You've got way more hardware in it than you did before.

22:57 There's no computers to trip over in the entire dining room, living room area.

23:04 Did you guys even change anything over here?

23:07 Why does it feel so much nicer?

23:10 Honestly, I think we just cleaned up.

23:12 Hey, the RGB the RGB lighting doesn't hurt.

23:15 Hurts me.

23:16 It hurts me.

23:17 [laughter] What else did we even do?

23:19 Uh, we added his new mouse and his audio interface to his computer.

23:23 We upgraded your Wi-Fi with your new Ubiquiti access point.

23:26 Uh, that's in the back.

23:28 I put up little sensors everywhere.

23:29 You got your hyrometers.

23:31 His backups are now officially 321.

23:33 And of course, the centerpiece of the entire setup,

23:37 the Reichi Mini, that for now is kind of expensive to run,

23:40 but in the long term is going to be a fun

23:42 project to get a locally run AI assistant to help,

23:47 I don't know, do something when your humidity changes.

23:50 Turn the lights red.

23:52 Sure.

23:53 Thanks, AMD.

23:54 This has been another fantastic AMD Ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade.

23:58 And if you guys are looking for another one to watch, hey,

24:01 why not check out one of the other members of the labs team, Lucas.
