um what's up this is booted this is season three this is the actual premiere of season three which is the high-end season what what a frickin intro of the year that was I thank you all for being so patient with me and and and YouTube live streaming that that sucks sometimes but at least we all have a home here that's reliable here on Twitch so that's nice I'm very pumped for this season of booted because by far nicest looking systems that we've seen in the entire series again these are fifteen hundred dollars or more in value give or take and a lot of them are well well beyond that threshold so very exciting stuff these are really some sexy pcs that you guys have submitted to me and and thrown together and I have been brave enough to step up to the challenge of that is butit's so another thing that I wanted to point out is uh we have a couple announcements here there's a lot of things going on a lot of UI I did mention this last season that there might be a back-to-back high-end season back-to-back high-end seasons of booted because I did receive so many high-end entries and today I can officially tell you that that is a go and season four which is going to be in March no April May May is also going to be a high-end PC season of booted so thank you guys now however that doesn't mean you guys won't be able to submit your your systems for for that for that season next season because there are a lot of systems that I had to disqualify just because the camera quality or the photo quality was so poor even though they were really nice systems some of them I was just like oh all such a wasted opportunity this would have been so good but you know either lighting was off it was blurry so I am gonna be asking you guys for more submissions however don't fire away just yet don't send me anything just yet I'm going to be announcing the exact submission period the dates that you can submit your system your high-end system for next season next week so on next week's episode on next Monday is when you'll be able to submit that but but make sure you tune into next week's episode and and wait for me to give you the green light where you go ahead and submit anything I will not be opening or or downloading or accepting any any submissions until that time so don't send me anything just yet it will be wasted okay another thing so yay for back-to-back high-end seasons we've also got a new polling system in play for today's episode I'm just gonna test the waters with it I don't know exactly how it's gonna be this is the first time I've used it so we're not using straw poll today we're gonna be using a different system that is allegedly pretty secure there is no CAPTCHA but it does seem to be a little bit more substantial with like a development team behind it more so than straw poll which seems like just some crack addict than his basement made it so so that's good and also it's a cool school system because it doesn't reveal the results to you guys instantly right after you vote so that kind of increases the suspense factor a little bit you're not gonna know who's actually won today's episode or any episode for that matter until I reveal the results to you so that's kind of cool mixa mixa makes things a little bit more interesting and there's another thing there's another thing guys my new BIOS flashback or my new bio splasher shirts are now for sale if you guys follow me on Twitter you already know this because I tweeted it out but here she is this design has been long in the making and it's finally here and I realize you aren't seeing any of this because I need to do that now you can see it so this is for sale you can buy this thing this is this is wearable for your chesticles only okay so it's I'm very proud of this design my good friend and ex coworker at Newegg Tina at creative tart designs she she she actually helped me design this guy it was my concept and she brought it to life very well done I'm super excited about that and it's only 20 bucks it's $20 shirt and you can get it in two varieties so you've got the the metal gray which I rather fancy quite much and you've also got the maroon color which honestly was the best looking color to pair with kind of the the color palette of this design so really liked both of these options go ahead and pull the trigger on either of those if you're sewing lined I put a link in the description below or you can go to awesomesauce network.com slash store to pick up either of those and I'm still selling the CPU cooler shirts as well in the nice fancy Heather Heather Navy gray or haven't had their navy blue I should say and the good will stay positive shirt it's always good to stay positive even when you're streaming system craps out on you actually it's not the system's fault it's not the system's fault it said I blame YouTube I blame YouTube okay anyway um that is pretty much gonna do it for that we're gonna go ahead and take a look at our sponsor for today which if you guys notice by the the lower thirds there you see my finger isn't it funny how my finger is still invisible here I never really fixed that it's a professional I am little finger so overclock by KL mod today and actually for this whole month we they are our exclusive sponsor for booted so thank you very much cable mod really awesome guys they are particularly interesting because they have a really nice offering here with their magnetic series and their foam adhesive wide beam LED strips so you've actually got two options here you can get the magnetic backing which is great for metallic cases of course or if you've got some kind of aluminum you know Lian Li or silver stone case or something like that are in win particularly the magnetic isn't really gonna be that effective so they do have the foam adhesive as well I have tested these strips thoroughly I did a video on them comparing them to the BitFenix alchemy 2.0 strips and they are just far superior in almost every way possible not just you know not just the magnetic you know force or whatever or you know the the foam adhesive is really strong but in terms of brightness and saturation these things are pretty killer yeah just go ahead and watch my comparison video it'll show you everything you need to know but link is also in the description below for this as well asus or a compatible so if you guys are familiar with the maximus 8 formula and other the the hero the other hero rog board that has the the built-in RGB header these strips are compatible with that as well and they just they offer a variety of different flavors here so you've got these colors that are presented by this little spectrum here now they've also got RGB RGB is pretty sweet and I'll be doing a quick little demo of those strips later on today so without further ado let's take a look at our first contestant on today's episode this is exciting is really exciting hey you guys ready yes yay alright here we go first guys Matt Matt you're up alright you've got a Corsair 600 C I have a recent fondness for this case oh I forgot to Santa my cellphone I apologize someone just submitted their PC to booted I hate you I hate you whoever did that what two people I just told you not to why do I even bother I don't know all right so we've got a core i5 6600 k gtx 980ti look at this storage configuration here with the the two micron you got an m5 50 and an m6 hundred you got three terabytes of solid-state storage and I do believe that you had mentioned in your entry that you work for micron so I guess that gives you some that give some explanation as to your beefy storage array but let's take a look at the rest of your system here good components good solid Hardware all around not much to complain about there but looking at your alright so one thing I'll say about the 600 C is that it's a it's a love it or hated affair when I first saw it at CES I'll be honest I wasn't too thrilled about it I was like that's no but that's not how an ATX chassis should look that's that that goes against everything I know and familiar and comfortable with and then it wasn't until I recently built a system inside of one when I realized this is actually a very nice case and you the look of it kind of grows on you I think we're just so trained to see a system an ATX tower a certain way that when you literally flip it on its head it looks awkward but the more I look at my system that I just built by the more love it it's really nice and you've done a fantastic job here Matt I think with the color coordination look at those sleep cables and how perfectly they match up with that gaming 7 motherboard it's just it's probably the nicest implementation of that board I've seen in the system simply because your cables are so on point in every way it just looks excellent I really like that I also like how you threw an AIO in there that looks very classy and I kind of like how it's just a 120 at the rear and not a 240 mounted at the bottom I think that actually looks nicer than the system I built which was using a 240 millimeter radiator and what one thing that I would add if this was my system would be because you know the 600 C has such a large side panel window in fact the entire door is just a window so you can really see everything from left to right and so because of that I would probably throw in some fans at the intake that were more akin to my color scheme so you know the 600 C comes with really good intake fans already I shouldn't say intake fans but just fans but they have gray blades so if you really wanted to up the aesthetics and just be a little bit more matchy-matchy I'd go with some white blades personally or or or red if you can find good red ones to spray-paint them or something but the gray just you know whatevs it's not terrible though and you do have one optional shot that you sent me of the LEDs turned on in the night time and this looks very nice I can see you have the wind force logo I'll match it up with that as well yeah this is a really nice system bro I like how you're using cable combs cable management is also on point just not even just the colors but those are really the only two big cables I see other than you know some little front panel connectors there and your your CPU but overall very clean built broski very clean build and if you ever want to donate one of your SSDs one day you know where to find me let's move on to Alex Alex in the house up let's go ahead and take a look at your case first we've got an NZXT s340 wide edition of course 40 90 K and a GTX 780 Ti with 32 gigs of HyperX ddr3 dam but some beefy some beefy memory specs you got there so this isn't exactly a current generation system but by no means is it is it weak or anything like that this is very formidable some decent specs in there and Jesus this is beautiful man this is really brings a brings a tear to my eye just how clean this is just the straight lines just going down flowing like a waterfall of perfection and electricity actually a waterfall and electricity would not go very well together don't ever try that but wow man I really love the PCIe cables here the the cable combs are really doing it for me and like other than then your 8 pin EPS CPU connector that's really the only other cable I can see in here it's just it's just so clean look at how clean the cabling is looks great and I just love the the black and white and that just that touch of that splash of green on your geforce reference cooler really draws my eyes to the card and the card matches just as perfectly with everything else the other thing i will say here is that i love the fact that you won with a cry or a cooler especially that model because it's got a black heatsink and i think that was a really wise choice aesthetically but also you've replaced all the fans in this system and even added a few with some Noctua industrial series fans and i think that looks really nice especially with those whites vibration corner pads pad corners that you placed on each of those fans top-notch man that is tip-top well well tip-top there's another angle just absolutely beautiful I kind of like the staggered Ram slots in there as well looks very nice very nice and there's just one more angle there you've got two SSDs looking pretty it would it would have been nice of you spray painted those SSDs honestly like maybe like both of them white because it's already on a black power supply shroud so just having the white on black I think would would really look give it a premium feel overall though very nice job Alex they're nice Alex very nice alright next we've got Erin I'm sorry if I'm not pronouncing your name correctly Arif in you got a Corsair 760 core i7 5820k I believe this is the only x99 build in this this episode I'm not too sure you got a cryo rig r1 ultimate and a GTX 780 so again not super current gen with the graphics anyway but you've got two of them so who's complaining really and and it looks like you've kind of grayed out the GeForce logo as well I'm not exactly sure how you did that but it looks pretty good yeah yeah Mon that looks really nice that looks really nice I love that cryocooler I don't even care that it's like vertical or whatever it just it looks beautiful you know overall your your system looks very like modern it looks super modern like looks like the modern style apartment that you buy in GTA 5 it's like the nicest one and you can like customize it when you go with the modern one it looks like that's like the PC that they would have in that apartment you guys feel me you guys feel me but yeah honestly I like all the fans ah you've got a ton of airflow in here as well so that's nice taking a closer look here one thing I would add is you know if you're gonna whites leave your PCIe cables you might as well go the extra mile and do your 24 pin as well it's literally the biggest cable in your system it's gonna be the most noticeable and I just feel like having having another element of white in that region of your system what kind of disperse the the color evenly around around your system it's like the reason why I you know have the the odd bends that I do in hotline is because I really wanted to extend some of that pink color all the way to the back of the system where it was kind of lacking in pink so kind of the same concept there but overall very very nice job here got that that aftermarket SLI bridge as well yup yup yup damn this is gonna be really tough for you guys the live audience to choose to choose a finalist here because these are all really nice systems next we've got Yakov Yakov I feel like I need to say that in a Russian accent while downing a shot of whiskey or no vodka Yakov I again sorry if I'm butchering but you got an end to pro from fantex 4790k and and also a gtx 980ti with a Kraken g10 yo there's I kind of like this your graphics configuration here because you've got a PNY video card with an NZXT custom cooler or aftermarket cooler and aftermarket corsair fans on the radiator of that cooler so there's like three different companies that have come together to create your graphic solution I think that's awesome it's very well thought-out in my opinion and I also like how the you know again this is very thoughtful of you you you're so thoughtful Yakov so thoughtful thank you for that bottle of vodka you give to my my family we go eat potatoes later together so I also like the fact that your water cooling tubes are matching both on your CPU cooler and the Kraken they're identical sometimes you get that coagulated tubing like from the original h 100 or even from like the the fractal Kelvin coolers and not to say there's anything wrong with those types of tubing but to just see both of these coolers have the exact same aesthetic is really I think key to making this a nice looking rig and also just a nice job on the the color coordination here you I can see that you've colored your power supply shroud because there is no red and black and through Pro option that I'm aware of I believe you said you plastidip that whole shroud you just dunked it and I think that it looks very professional let's see I think you have a don't you have a yeah there's a close-up shot of it guys look how clean that is that looks really clean right I'm not blind it looks pretty clean to me I like it I like it alone here's a money shot also a nice job with the Triton X some really nice looking dims there again seems like a lot of my critiques here as a slight as they are as miniscule as they might be have to do with the cable management or not cable management put the cables themselves so again we've got you know your black your flat black ATX cable here but then you've got a red one for your power your your your PCIe and I understand that's probably just what the the stock cables that came with the supernova g2 however you've spent a lot of money in the system apparently already might as well spend a few extra bucks on some custom sleeved cables cable mod cells those two didn't you know but but yeah yeah man this is sweet I see you also painted the front of your case there in red so that's nice nice job ukhov nice job for a red and black build that we see so many of these days that does look really stands out for sure next up actually last but not least we've got Leon our as PC number five in his Corsair or Pac Man man his H 440 razor edition chassis from NZXT we've also got a Kraken x61 in here you are rocking a 6700 case er and your video card is a gtx 980ti from gigabyte gaming g1 excellent cooler love the wind force cooler always have looks really great performs great super low acoustics however I see these two little blue things on your graphics card on your SLI fingers and I wish that they would die horrible and slow painful death just just take them off yeah no big deal but yeah this is a sexy little looking little system here I like the green sleeve cables that go very nicely with the the Razer logo taking advantage of that color coordination and you've got that that beefy looking Ram cooler on your on your Corsair Vengeance memories and I believe that lights up as well I like those cable combs too those are nice here's a money shot okay get rid of those blue things get rid of the caps whoo Leon Leon you're you're a romantic aren't you Leon look at that that is that is just dandy my goodness oh that's sexy yep guys if you are if you have a decent camera and you have LEDs in your system take pictures of them when you submit your to booted because they help a lot it's one of the one of those opportunities to you and AH the audience as in me as well because this looks fantastic I really like the way this looks you've got white LED strip inside the case which gives it a more like neutral and even coat of light however you've also got the green LEDs going on with the RAM cooler your liquid cooler on your CPU as well as the wind force on your GPU so I don't know the combination of those two I think looks really nice especially with the white fan in the back very pristine very clean nice job Leon probably the only thing I would suggest here is uh I don't know even your SSDs match the color scheme of your system like the black and the and the kind of silver yeah there's not much to critique here just take off those damn blue caps and I will love you forever damn it uh but yeah guys guys guys guys we just we just went through the first five high-end pcs and booted it's freaking freaking crazy mind and it's it's it's time to vote on which of these bad boys you think is best quite based on their quite frankly based on their appearance their combination of hardware choice and I don't know which one which one you think has the biggest brain or heart which one has the biggest heart so right about now you'll be seeing the link going out to the photo album where you'll be able to see all the high-end or the high-res pictures of each of the contestants as well as a voting link the boating link will take you to the poll and you will then vote on which PC you think deserves to go on to the final round in week four on that note let's go ahead and take a look at our sponsor one more time we've got fanned so used to having two fantex sponsor the show that I almost slipped their Kayla Mott again with their whitening technology if you guys are wondering where to buy cable mod strips from you can go to performance pcs calm very trusted and reliable sites they've been around for a while I've gotten a lot of stuff especially for my for hotline back here from this website and I've always had really good results customer service fast shipping more or less from the site so go ahead and pick something up from cable mod here alright they've got good stuff if you guys are interested in all in a little quick demo let's go ahead and switch over to the the PC cam that's right I have a PC cam right here the bottom left this is with silent night the silent night build I should stop calling it silent night because it's no longer Christmas color-coordinated themed but you can see here I've got some red LED accents going on now this is an RGB LED strip from cable mod that I've installed in here actually just before the show and if I reach over with the controller here cuz you do have a little RGB controller you can see I've just changed the color well boom you got blue right there you'd also adjust the the brightness let me turn that down so it goes about that dim and again I should mention that this the PC quality level is potato-like like times potato this is not very indicative of how good these LEDs look in person again check out the video that I did on them which I did like a couple weeks ago shouldn't be that difficult to find you've also got white but let's let's switch it up here oh boy you can you can give your your PC a seizure that's always fun if you want to rave rave out like it's the 90s and there is speed adjustment as well so you can as you can see I've just slowed it down so it's not gonna freak us out too much there's also a strobe effect that gradually fades and transitions eat smoothly between the colors instead of just abruptly cutting from one to the next I particularly like this setting the most I think other than just you know the freedom of being able to choose any of these colors that you want there's three six nine twelve fifteen there's fifteen colors in all and ten varying levels of brightness for those static colors and as well as ten varying levels of speed for the special effects like the transitions and whatnot so overall very cool I'm super happy with with the cable wide wide wide beam LED strips that I honestly have about three systems now that are using these brands of strips and absolutely no complaints I'm using all magnetic I don't even deal with the foam adhesive anymore it's just too much of a hassle I'm always swapping them out anyway so but if you guys want more information or you want to buy them link in the description below of my youtube video because we are on twitch right now so haha bear that in mind got myself there I think I might have flubbed that in the intro but let me see do I actually have no I don't have it okay that's fine all right good bye PC cam thank you for the live demo there I think I've let you guys decide long enough on which of these pcs deserves to go on to week four so I'm gonna cue up the dramatic voting music I'm gonna crank it up baby screw it let's let's make it loud let's make it loud and from I can scary I don't care I don't care anymore so the way this is gonna work guys is I have I have the link that shows the results shows the results for this year show or for these this poll so I'm gonna swap that in alright you guys ready you guys ready for this whoo um I haven't even seen the results yet I don't know who's gonna win so let's just let's just do this together all right on the count of three one two three Wow in first place we have Alex with a hundred and forty two votes 40% of the vote goes to PC number two which is Alex let me go ahead wait before I switch over here I'm gonna just zoom in here so you guys can see those are the results with Alex in sin first place Matt took a somewhat close second 25% of the votes and then we had Yakov and then Aaron and Leon and last sorry Leon but hey Alex you're a you're a bad boy I don't know what I'm saying what's up you can really yeah okay I've been I've been notified that you can vote multiple times in the poll which I was aware of however I specifically remember putting uh enabling a setting in the poll that would restrict the voting to only limit one vote per person so that's really interesting and that's a little bit concerning that it's not actually saving my settings yes if you guys see right here this is the Act these are the settings that I'm using wait Oh pop this in see look these are the settings I'm using right here allow one votes per all time so I have it under heavy security limit the number of votes to number one heíd results button yeah that's really strange so were you guys able to okay so some people voted twice I'm gonna redo the vote because that's just BS I'm wondering why that's why that's the case so let's let's try shouldn't be showing you guys this but um give me a moment here today it's just full of surprises she's gotta roll with the punches all right so I'm gonna go to share theme settings huh yeah I even have the box that says voters can select multiple answers unchecked so why can people select multiple answers or that's different than voting twice but I still only have a maximum of one vote allowed one vote per year all right save over and then the cool thing about this is that I can go to my dashboard and I can clear the results I'm gonna clear him clear um alright and then I'm gonna go ahead and put up boop boop boop let's let's try to let's try to do this again all right you guys you guys pretty ready you guys ready to vote again huh huh all right I guess I'm gonna send out the voting here vote again and and let me know let me know let me know if you can vote more than once again still because then then I'll just go to straw poll and say screw it you can vote what can vote multiple times again what what is wrong with this thing interesting yeah I know alright let's let's just do this we're gonna straw pull it I'm gonna figure this out of the later time cuz that's just silly all right who wins one Matt to Alex three orphan or kick of five Leone create copy boom boom alright final pull go go go go alright let's let's see if strawpoll will work strawpoll has always worked however I don't think I did captcha dammit dammit no okay hold on let me let me do it one more time Matt to Alex three air fin for yay cough five let's do like thirty more of these are you guys down to just keep voting like you guys have probably like changed your mind on who you think you should vote for like halfway through all this I'm just causing you all to second-guess yourselves alright I am requiring you all to use caption now what do you guys think do you guys think I should administer another poll with CAPTCHA or do you think it's do you think it's fine right now the way it is and so far all right all right we're just gonna we're just gonna do this we're just gonna do it final poll final poll if you guys see any suspicious of suspicious activity however new poll all right we're doing CAPTCHA we're doing CAPTCHA all right I feel yeah but but I'm a bum hold on what didn't work again what's going on oh all right give me a sec I love how the victory musics already playing and no one's even been selected yet this is awesome okay bump but I'm bump it up dude yeah bump bump bump what a great season premiere this has been a jerk-off knows what I'm talking about alright create poll all right this is it final final pull all right can't hear the music all right boom maybe you can hear the music now all right so I'm gonna give you guys a few seconds to think it over obviously you don't need too much time to vote this time because you've already done it like 30 times so um getting your votes captures their know multiple voting still no music that's weird okay who cares it's just music stupid stupid music alright I no no it's it's playing I don't know why they can't hear it it's what if I crank it up like this no nothing whatever you guys don't need music to be entertained alright you're better than that alright let's move it up move it over to the to the results all right who wins this who wins who's it gonna be and it's still Alex Alex still won alright I know results are more or less the same as they were for the first time around but it is still good that you guys notified me that multiple voting was allowed on that other poll service because that wouldn't be good nonetheless congratulations Alex you are our week one finalist and you will be going on to week four in the final round competing against the next two finalists that will be electing in the next few weeks here congratulations if you guys want another look at Alex's PC yes I'm glad that you want Alex cuz I this is probably who I would have voted for us well I just think everything was well executed just that super clean just that cable alone oh it's like a it's like a rope ladder I just want to climb it but yeah man really nice job especially on the fans once again looking forward to seeing you kick some ass in week four but I will say man you've got some competition because you guys have not seen the next ten contestants or even the next five for that matter and it's gonna be a season y'all it's gonna be a season so if you enjoyed the high end season of booed so far despite all the technical difficulties if you could just wipe those things from your mind for a minute and just focus on the the playing field that we're actually on operating on at right now I really do like the high-end seasons I think they're a bit more interesting just visually seeing what people can do when they had that extra budget to spend on you know more frivolous things like cables and and custom coolers and things like that so guys leave me some some feedback in the comments of the YouTube re-upload once it goes live or or just tell me in the chat right now and I'll I'll read it and stuff but if you guys want to catch the show live and you missed it this time you have no idea when it starts or when it's happening you can watch it on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. Pacific on typically YouTube typically it's gonna stream to YouTube but you know now who knows it might be on Twitch who knows I don't I don't even know why just don't listen to anything on this this screen this graphic is all lies for all we know but again the submission period for booted will be announced next week's episode so also stay tuned for that looking forward to more of your guys's high end submissions for season four that's gonna do for now guys again thank you all for being so patient I mean for being the Internet you guys really are some of the most understanding individuals that I've seen on the interwebs so thank you guys so much for that I appreciate you guys bearing with me just you know adding your element of humor to the to the whole situation really really helps ease the tension all around I do appreciate that and thanks for sticking around so until next time guys have yourselves a good evening or morning you know I know so it's like 3 a.m. for some of you but always appreciate you guys being on board so until next time peace out I need some I need some more alcohol right now honey can we go get some alcohol
