what is happening everybody welcome back to booted this is season five the water cold edition where that's all we're featuring this season for the last season a booted is liquid cooled systems and we are in episode three right now so we're going to be looking at the last five contestants of the entire series today so that's five more more liquid cooled PCs and and they're all pretty sweet hopefully you guys are doing well whatever whatever you might be doing or whatever you're up to I hope everyone is finding themselves in high spirits oh my god I can hear myself where where is that coming from where is that where's ah ah ha ha shut up Kyle there you go totally planned totally prepped to this um sorry for the late start xsplit literally crashed the second I was about to hit a stream glad it happened before I started streaming though and not while but yes yes it is it is very exciting this is uh it's kind of a bittersweet moment excited to show you guys these last five pcs but also sort of sad that it's going to be the last five of the entire series but I guess that's what makes it all special so hopefully you guys enjoy this one um no real announcements to announce other than there is a giveaway that just launched today between me Paul and that one guy Jay's two cents and I guess we'll throw a fractal Josh in there because this is a fractal design sponsor to giveaway it's our day of refinement giveaway and a lot of people are upset because we're not giving away any Hardware per se but we are giving away in experience which is a day of refinement so you get picked up from you know LAX or whatever crap Airport Josh flies you out to you get picked up in a Rolls Royce this one in particular that's me look it's got like star star patterns like illumination on the top it's pretty sweet it's a rolls-royce Wraith I don't know much about cars but I know that's like a four dollar vehicle and then we take you to a yacht you'll be chillin on a yacht with like me the other dudes like this yet it doesn't look very big but they've got a 40-footer which is I think the one we're gonna be on which which has like a full bar that's that's that's a that's my thumbnail for the video I posted I thought it was yeah there it is anyway go ahead and enter that video enter that giveaway if you're interested if you're not obviously carry on and ignore this message um but let's let's take a quick look at last week's finalist who was Ian with his redonkulous portal to build portal portal to what have you the portal franchise yeah he this was a well deserved win a victory in my book because just like uber points for creativity and style and it is just really well executed take a look at the side profile here got two separate loops one for a CPU the other for his two gtx 980ti s they're using the beloved well-known portal colors just beautiful beautiful bends all around so well done Ian you'll be going head-to-head with a Brad who was the week one finalist and whoever may take away the finalist spot for today at the end of this episode so should be pretty pretty heated competition so on that notes why don't we take a look at Luke who's our first contestant here the first of last Rock an alien lay pc 0 7 s this is a one of the land Lee's fancy wall-mounted chassis I actually have the PCO 5s smaller version Mini ITX small form-factor on my wall over there and it's a really nice case it's got tempered glass a side panel obviously he's removed it here for this shot but this is a there's definitely some modifications going on here too a lot of the components so he's got a 6700 K and 980 TI kingpin so that has been superband to get the highest quality ASIC out of all the 90 DT is very nice very nice card and if we take a look at the side profile here I don't know if you guys have already guessed the theme but the theme of this PC is overwatch and I know that because of a picture you'll see later but also I think this guy I don't know I don't recognise this little icon here on the PCI PCI ribbon cable the extension I don't know if he's that's necessarily an overwatch character it probably is I've only played the game for a few hours but overwatch colors for sure got the white and black I'm sorry the white and orange going on look at those Dominator Platinum's how those are modified he's essentially painted them painted the outside white and then he's painted the little heatsink portions orange and he's also swapped out the light bar for from a white one to an orange one so those are all rockin orange light bars there in the memory there's another close up look at that that that dude dude the helmet looks pretty wicked cable sleeping is on point as well and here's how I know it's an overwatch themed build for sure because once he puts the side panel on you can see it's been laser etched with some overwatch branding which looks super super cool it's kind of got like a nice frost look but not too overwhelming just very very clean overall and he's also done a shot with the LEDs on got some white LEDs in there love it yeah it looks looks pretty sweet I'm really diggin all these um these video game inspired builds like the portal 1 and I've got overwatch I just think it's a really great thing to build your system off or build it around is a video game a really nice fun well respected and critically acclaimed video game and I definitely like the tubing going on here it's not hard to be so you know doesn't make me hard makes me more on the soft side but that being said it's still uh still routed pretty nicely the runs relatively clean and you've got some orange fluid in here and that can be seen through the reservoir and the tube that's that's coming from from that portion but the rest of the tubing is white so you can't really see too much of the liquid so it kind of gives like a two-tone I think you just kind of did that to mix up the color palette a little bit instead of just having one or the other you decide to go with two colors there I think that was creative and definitely the all the painting the paint job on the the motherboard is is very well done on the heatsinks damn I hate sinks with those orange stripes looks very professional it's a nice job Luke you get a two thumbs up for me no that doesn't really mean anything in this show still still fun still fun to give thumbs ups next we have gia Hong I'm so sorry if I'm pronouncing your name like an American tourist but Jae Hong whatever your name is you've got a pretty interesting system here and this is built in the EVGA had drawn err which I don't believe this is like what the Hat John looks like right off the bat you've definitely done some modifications here there's a lot more Plexiglas going on or acrylic whatever that is and I really like the way it looks it's kind of guts a semi open-air design because there's no real front panel it's just kind of bare in your face it makes it look very industrial it's like and the thing is it looks it looks well done like it's like it was done on purpose it doesn't look like someone just ripped off the front panel and like left the build you know half put together it actually looks done intentionally and you pull it off quite well I love the reservoir at the bottom below those two fans blow your radiator and stuff I think that's a really cool place to put it and I just love the two bends that go straight up and through that part of the Hadron had John gives me a hard-on making a lot of sexual references let them anyway if we take a look at the side here you can see it's just your CPU that's been water-cooled custom water-cooled with a very nice race storm CPU block and your video card is gtx 750ti probably not the the calibre of card i would expect in a custom water-cooled build however if that's good enough for your needs Who am I to say otherwise right if you're not really gaming all that much you're gaming it 1080 on and high settings or you know in some games very high settings are cool for you then right on that's awesome and looks like there's just been a lot of modifications here I like a little a little fan over your VRMs on the motherboard that little white fan that's kind of cool and if we take a look at the money shot gives us a closer up look here also got a nice little fan at the back there that you batte it on we've got 32 gigs of HyperX fury ddr4 and believe there's another shot here so here's just another angled shot at the front I really like that plexi I don't know I'm usually not a fan of plexi but it just looks really well done here and then here's a shot of it on your desk I usually don't accept pictures on booted of like setups but this is the only shot where you had the LEDs on so I just wanted to show that you have LEDs in this system and this is also the second to last episode of the entire series so who cares at this point but overall very very creative build I have not really seen anything like this submitted to booted ever it's a good job you get you get points you get points for originality jihong well done job well done ibex we've got Michael Michaels also rocking alien Lee chassis here the PC o 8x this is one of those another one of those beautiful cases with tempered glass panels all around to meet you from hardware connects that does a really nice build in this and Michael's done a really nice one here to the core i7 6700 K gtx 980ti super clock from EVGA both CPU and GPU have been water-cooled and the first thing I'll say off the bat is you got these nice Noctua fans the front that you've painted white and it looks like they're really they came out really nice my only gripe is at the brown not a huge fan of the brown corners this those stock Brown quarters I feel like if those were black that would have been just would have matched more color neutral stuff also the Noctua fans that are on your top radiator and at the rear the back of your case felt like those could have been maybe you could have could have flipped those maybe make the corners of those white if you don't want to spray-paint them chrome axe is a chrome axe that makes a those rubber vibration stopper or vibration replacements for the Noctua fans you can go ahead and check that out but here's a look at the side profile very beastly love that glass tubing that you've got there with kind of a looks like an off-white kind of a pearl color fluid that's in there it's really pretty matches really nicely with the the chrome fittings which are very nice all the radiators I believe I don't know you've got a mix of ek and alpha cool radiators here got an ek dual d5 pump and this is uh there's no bending here of the tubes they're all straight and I think you've done a really nice job just making these runs with just straight tubing and fittings I really especially love the the tubing that goes from the video card down and they both kind of like follow each other parallel and if you look at the bottom there's a drain valve a drain drain port that he's faced downward at the bottom of the case and drilled a hole in the bottom of the case so that if he ever needs to you know drain the system you can just kind of hang up hang the case over the edge of the table or something like that connect a doesn't even have need to connect anything and just release the valve and and out comes the fluid I think that's pretty pretty inventive very nifty of you Michael here's a money shot cable sleeve and cable sleeve it looks a little bit rough rough around the edges looks like it's been through some maybe hasn't done its full boot boot camp training if you need to train those cables a little bit more send them back to cable cable camp I don't know I'm saying um but again just like this fluid I really I'm really digging the color here with the Chrome I do like the chromatic the nickel-plated ek waterblock as well believe there's a couple others here yeah you've got this one another shot of the front in front of the fans I'm sure I mean they're not to avange though so at least they're performing great even if I don't agree with the brown corners they sure are functional and here's a look with some LEDs on beautiful this is um very lovely very very lovely indeed sir so thank you Michael for saying that in number four on our list is Phillip Phillip is building in a fanfic fantex the Phoenix n2 ear for our fantex n to evolve great case as we all know 4790k so reckon the last gen has well and we've got a GTX 970 amp extreme in there full water cooling here CPU and GPU whoo you've definitely filled this up I like it I believe in the notes that you would sent me Phillip you had mentioned that you had modified the the front of the case to accommodate a 280 rad so that's a two hundred and eighty millimeter radiator at the front there and I believe n3 bulb only has support for a 240 at the front so that's the case if I've got that right then very nice job I'm loving how thick it is and I love how you just get barely enough clearance for your video card I love it I love it when you just bear it when it barely fits it's so satisfying that's what she said you've also got a nice 120 at the top it looks like yes beautiful sorry that's a 140 that is a one fodi get it right and nice combination with the the red and white fittings I really do like that you've also got some team group extreme ddr3 2400 rams got the Rams in there which I believe you've also painted white to correct me if I'm wrong and chat but those look painted to me could be wrong though and a phobia phobia you see 2lt water black that's on a black job digging that back plate on that on that GPU to bra Baron ass here you've taken off the the top top panel of your case and given us an inside look at as to how you've mounted that reservoir which is mounted sideways looks like you've also got a fill port the thread at the top there which is very convenient you want to bleed your system and things like that well thought out very well thought out well planned and a killer looking system here Philip I also really like that pump that's just down there I love that I love the flexible matte black tubing I don't know why the matte black tubing just always looks super sexy to me turns me home runs male alright and last but not least we've got Patrick Patrick you guys were lured in by the by today's thumbnail in any way you have Patrick to thank he's got a his system rocket in a graphite 780 t from Corsair great custom water cooling chassis with a 5820k so we're rocking that x99 with the msi x99s sli plus motherboard 16 gigs of samode Dom Platts from Corsair 2600 and the GTX 980 three of them in 3-way SLI oh snaps and as for as for CPU or a CPU and water block we've got ek supremacy Evo and of course ek water blocks all around on those 980 s fatty ole reservoir there sticking in the middle so you've got some nice tube endings here yo everything looks super clean your cable is your cables is probably the best cable routing that I've seen on today's show very very clean very clean indeed and that is a fat radiator at the front there holy shite it's got to be thicker than my bed and um nice EVGA sli bridge that's in addition I do like how you've gone with a also very color neutral theme here with the kind of transparent the clear fluid probably just using distilled water and kind of just a black and white overall theme some silver slash gray accents but all together very neutral which is really nice because as we'll see later works really plays nicely with any kind of LED color you might throw at it and here's another shot here's a money shot beautiful yeah them them cable trainings you got it down bra so here's a here's a shot of it all lit up with white LEDs is what it looks like and just looks really really clean um I think transparent fluid like just distilled water looks a lot better when it's being illuminated like in the dark than it does just during the day because it kind of just gives like I don't know the light just bounces off of it kind of creates these reflections that looks more crystally it looks more like glass to me for some reason at least in photos I really like the way I just plain plain old distilled water looks and here's what I was talking about because you got a color neutral system you can pretty much just pick any color that you have with your NZXT a hue plus and you're good to go you want you want if you want a purple system today you can do purple you do green on Wednesday blue on Friday red for the weekend it just gives you flexibility in the aesthetics Department for sure are you just leaving on the rainbow spectrum that looks great so I use it for a thumbnail cool good job Patrick I also want to mention that you've got a little you've got another 120 millimeter rad at the bottom I almost miss that the very bottom of the case I think I think that's cool because there's that lower kind of compartment that the 780 T has you can fit some stuff down there clearly so good job Patrick I am impressed all right so those are the five contestants right about now you'll be seeing a link being pasted in chat by one of my one or more of my beautiful moderators including my wife Maggie spider fan and cell maybe they'll just all paste the link at the exact same time and bombard chat with their thundering presence but at that point you guys should click the link and decide who you're gonna vote for this is it this is this is this is the arguably one of the most important votes of the series because it's the second to last vote it's the last poll that will ever take for a finalist this is the final finalist pull that you're at stake so choose wisely um and then while while you guys are thinking about that mulling that over just really quick I'm gonna whore myself out I'm selling shirts still nothing new but I have restocked several of these so if you guys were waiting on something to be back in inventory it probably is including the ever-so-popular CPU cooler shirt this is just the plain old Navy shirt one of the first shirts I ever kind of sold on the store it's now available in a Heather Navy which is slightly more comfortable it's a little bit of a lighter color but it's super comfy softer fabric and looked at the same price so so why not why not get the better one I don't know stay positive you know great reminder I've seen J wear this shirt in his videos a couple times I know he secretly loves me if you like positive air pressure you should definitely get that shirt and of course bios flasher shirt flying off the shelves so punny so punny you can't really tell but at the very bottom corner of the the chip it says BIOS it's easier to see in person but just for any kind of like by pastor who is looking at your shirt for a while trying to figure out what the hell it is because they don't build computers maybe that a little BIOS they will cue them in uh so yeah pick it be sure y'all they are good for your chest he'll cover your testicles grant you access to many places that would not serve you otherwise should you be half naked all right on that note I think you guys have had enough time to vote you're all pretty quick thinkers quick on your feet so let's go to the drawing board shall we that's not the right phrase let's go to the voting page doesn't quite sound as awesome but all right so we've got some options here Luke with his sexy overwatch built and Leon the Lee case we also had Jay home and his heavily modified EVGA had Ron Michael with just crazy awesome tube glass tubing and chrome fittings another beautiful ele case Philip with just a bunch of cool just black and red and white and then we had Patrick with more cool being very very articulate right now all right let's see who won who wins going to refresh dream Patrick 55% of the vote holy schnikes wait have I not been showing it the entire time damn it I totally not did not mean to do that go to the go to the camera go to the camera look there I was a anticlimactic shame on you Kyle so here we go Patrick with 55% of the vote 243 votes crushing it man with Luke in a fairly far behind second place but still very nice job fluke with your with your overwatch build but man Patrick this is exciting because this is about the lead the margin of lead that Ian had with his portal system so it's going to be interesting to see like all these guys who have won by a landslide competing two against each other for the first time and the last time actually so congrats to you Patrick we will see you again back here at 5:30 p.m. Pacific on Monday I know what time my show starts and yeah we will see it in the final round baby three finalists one winner will take home the $500 grand prize should be pretty epic thank you guys so much for joining booted if you enjoyed it go ahead and toss it alike and yeah that's pretty much it I'm gonna go I'm gonna go work on a particular video that needs to be posted at a particular time and that is all I can really tell you about my plans for tonight thank you guys so much appreciate you all coming out and have a good rest of your day evening night whatevs see you guys later peace
