New Office Mini-Tour & Set Build: GN Moving Vlog, Part 8

2018-09-07
moving vog is progressing and finally getting somewhere we are working on our set table now so the set table has been holding us up on everything it's been holding up here's the problem it's all one big pipeline and the set table is what we need to start doing live streams and the live streams are what we need to start building production systems because I want to stream the building of the production systems but we need the production systems to do more work so a table is holding us up right now everything before that this video is brought to you by the Corsair strafe RGB mark to mechanical gaming keyboard the strafe mark 2 uses Cherry MX which is available in MX red and MX Island and uses the elevated key cap design that has become part of course there's keyboard identity elevated key caps make the keyboard much easier to clean with a blast of compressed air and limit dirt build up the keyboard use a metal body design of have received praise from us in the past in old reviews for high build quality learn more about the Corsair strafe mark 2 at the link in the description below so we're gonna build that today we have our autonomous da AI legs in that's this right here so we've got I think this is they have two models this is I think the business model which has two motors in it so this was provided by autonomous and I'm hoping it's good because it's supposed to be a raising and lowering desk and the point of that for us is going to be to put this thing over here the table we've been working on on those legs and then the table will be going kind of in the corner over there and we're on the shotgun mic right now so you have to work with me on the volume of the audio but the table will go over there and be on raising lowering legs it's just it's it's all done electronically now instead of our oldest pet table which was a little wobbly as many of you complained back in the day and that was wildly because it was actually a height adjustable table we never used the height adjustment because it was a huge pain in the ass you do adjust four legs it was an accurate and wobbled like crazy so I'm hoping their solution works because what we want is to be able to and lower the table for different b-roll shots of products and just because it'd be a really useful feature for working in general so we're gonna attach those legs to this thing this is the bottom so we've been working on staining polyurethane sanding everything on the top side which is currently on the bottom now we're gonna attach the legs here today and then in addition to building the table we are also working on finalizing some of the production room initial layout and the test room is now working so we'll show you some of that in progress testing and we're starting to build test benches here so that'll be all the topics for today's we've been vlogging if not some extra stuff in there as well so the table legs are requested from autonomous AI if you want to visit their site we'll have a link below it's the specific model were using hopefully it's good so I can recommend that you buy it we'll find out towards the end of this video so that the table legs were using it's the version 2 of their smart desk version 3 of the smart desk has a touchscreen that I believe allows you to quickly order fast food from your table now I remember when EverQuest - in the early 2000s added slash pizza to the game and it allowed you to fast order pizza from within EverQuest and you based on the responses to that action I there's there's a limit to my laziness raising and lowering the chair electronically that's ok I think I think once I start fast-food ordering from my furniture there's a problem it's cool feature but that's it's too much for me you're too advanced autonomous we can't we can't handle that much technology here so what we are doing is gonna be working with these two things and if you actually look at the bottom of it ok so if we pull that off you will see the motor pretty big motor I don't remember the exact weight capacity of this one but it can support a bigger table so we can use a 6 foot - table I think it's 74 by 30 for our table there's your motor there are two of those one on each leg so that should be sufficient for raising even really heavy cases like a I don't know dark base Pro 900 something like that something that's big and 50 pounds and has a lot of glass and what are the other parts two legs arrested this is all mounting hardware we have zip ties and stuff I don't know that's for cable management or something else and then we've got the support bar that goes under the table and should also help stabilize it plus whatever this is so I think it's time to start building it and I recruit Andrew from behind the camera well build it will time lapse some of it maybe and get it on the table and hopefully we have a functional set table finally because holding up everything right now okay Andrew I need your help with this at this point hey everyone welcome to another hardware news recap this is our new set table alright everyone we are testing both the table and my workers comp insurance all in one go it's definitely moving slower motor spotty getting a little hot but it is working how's that feel I was just up until the ceiling it's just a smash that's magic all right see it very nice alright not synonymous you've impressed me thanks for sending them over we'll talk about this more in the morning probably but for now this wasn't enough work for now the table took like 2 weeks so this table was that was kind of back and forth on it a lot because we did a really shiny gloss originally and it looked pretty cool but it looks too glossy like it was it was like a mirror so then I sanded everything off all the way up to 3500 grit I haven't policy yet on a polish and buff next but right now it's kind of like a weathered workshop table like it's got some of the richness of tone is gone and some of the stain in the areas where it was not level and there wasn't enough polyurethane some of the stain has been removed which we could go over that and fix it but I kind of like it because it looks like it's been used and a little beat-up and it's going on a workshop said ultimately so it's kind of cool like that but I don't we're gonna make another one anyway autonomous sent two of these sets and the second one will probably I don't know if it'll be used for the live stream side or just for like a workstation or a test bench or what but man that is awesome radio hang function it's gonna be so nice I also will be very useful for when we have to move again in the future because you just lower it to smash it down so yeah I was really uncertain about this table I put 2 weeks of work into it I redid the entire thing once so we had it done and then sanded it all down and redid it didn't like it and did it again a lot of work sanding so really happy it turned out pretty decent and looks good it looks like looks like a set piece for a workshop because a lot of you like the industrial look of our set and this will fit in perfectly with that I think the next thing is just we'll do the next table at some point maybe that one will be Gloster I don't know but I got to polish and buff this still and the table should be done today that's cool yeah man quick interruption to all the other stuff we're doing we got some stuff in the mail and this comes from a viewer I think it's from total wind-up thank you very much for sending this so this is on loan to us from the viewer total wind-up I think you've sent us some stuff in the past we have some viewers or readers who will occasionally send things rest review that we didn't get in from the manufacturers and this is a thread Ripper 229 90 WX I think is the full name of it so we're looking forward to still working on this one patrick has been working on some cpu testing stuff that that is in preparation for this so we're gonna start testing this pretty soon the I will say the packaging got in the discussion with some other reviewers and PR in the industry on Facebook they were really in love with this packaging and I go say hi I disagree I think it's a waste of of consumer money but either way there's a CPU inside that's definitely worth testing even if the box is a bit superfluous and I mean just it's just gonna end up in a landfill for about 2 million years anyway so not a fan of the box but don't care the CPU is pretty cool we'll be testing that very soon so we're just gonna go through a couple of the other things we got in this is from silverstone so these are monitor arms they sent us three of these I think just called the arm 11 SC so this or arm one arm one single LCD interactive arm see how we're gonna mount these in the production room probably we have two cheap monitor arms or 1080p small panels in the testing room those are in use already for thermal benches and the it helps us get more out of the space because it actually being able to push them aside is a huge advantage so these are much heavier duty than the ones that we got and they will support heavier monitors that's a big thing for us so we're gonna mount some of these in the production room and then other than that stuff we got a couple of other things and I'll walk you around the place show we got in but this is all done now so the video set all the lights are there not really where they're supposed to be but when it's all done so we just filmed our first video here it was the corrosion video bridges liquid metal and it's pretty much done tables great we're really happy I guess we built that earlier in this video actually so the tables in and we moved this light from back in this corner over here to up on the table and then we're gonna have to like put some stuff in front of it to hide the legs a bit but that gets it out of the shot so it won't be quite as strong of a light but it's still a good rim and then we have a hand light up there that's stuck on the pole it's never gonna come off so that's up there and I think that's it for the lighting the tables pretty damn cool like we just we have presets now so this is pretty sweet we have use cases for this will perhaps show one of them in the future and right now it's just pre-programmed we set a couple of profiles where I hit the button over here we show b-roll shot of it at some point so that's the autonomous part of it that as in the company you hit the button that's pre program that goes down to a certain height so right now this is at I think it's going to 25 inches 25.5 inches if I hit the other button it goes up to 50 and then if I hit one it just comes straight up to our a roll set height it's just really cool so if Andrew needs to adjust it for b-roll or something just so we don't have to screw around with reorienting the camera takes forever on the dolly it's on we can just raise it and then when I'm ready to go I hit one and it goes to the to the Aral height or you can manually adjust too so really sweet table pretty happy with it happy with how the wood turned out got the mod matte on here so we're good to go let's check out some of the other stuff so here's a small thing we did and one of the earliest moving vlogs we Keegan put in a bunch of foam between the window and the wall to dab someone and always coming from the hallway worked really well and we have a problem with this door where the door book is from what the contractor we brought out told me is slightly ajar not something we can fix without some demolition and it's I mean it's it's not worth it so so we had some noise creeping in from the top corner because it's not perfectly flush we put in some foam and the foam lines it completely door still closes properly all that stuff but the foam really helps out with noise just like it did in the other corner so small stuff for noise at this point as far as you guys are concerned it's it should be completely fine you're not gonna hear anything so it's really more for us because we could hear more than the mics and pickups sometimes but we got some other stuff done too for this room Patrick's been pretty hard at work in here this is the testing room we're still looking by the way for I just noticed there's there's still more echo in this room than all the other ones we're still looking for some wall art and stuff like that so if you didn't see it in our news video we posted a p.o box you can send stuff to we're specifically looking for like old computer hardware advertisements from a long time ago like we have any hunter megabyte hard drive ads or old old old cpu ads like 20 30 plus years ago we'll take him if you got old magazines so we can frame them put them on the walls because it's the walls are kind of barren right now but anyway maybe we'll pop up the peel walks or something like that if you want to send something along there's no guarantee it'll make it in a video I don't know how much stuff we're gonna get it might be just so much that we can't put them all on videos or we might not get much at all so if you have anything that's like computer history though and you definitely don't eat it and you have no sentimental attachment send it along and we'll probably put it on the wall or something it's alright Patrick's when I work on this stuff we have two identical CBO test benches right now the thing we are doing is testing the video card so we're doing our test suite on one card and then we're gonna switch it for the other one and do it again and if there's no variants and the performance is the same then the cards are functionally the same we can run the tests in parallel on Intel and AMD at the same time and Intel will later get one of these benches as well but the the concern is that not all GPU silicon is great so I've one clock slightly higher that turns off the results not valid I really hope they're closed because if they are we can run to CPU tests at a time which would be huge for us save a lot of time so if they're not equal then I don't know I guess we'll switch cards and just use one but anyway that's the CPU benches so tooth ho is pretty sweet the monitor is we've had this one a long time now I think AMD sent this one over for free sync testing or something a couple years ago but this is an asus mg279q so it is a 144 Hertz 1440p monitor we're using this because for cpu testing we're never going to 4k at least not any time soon because 4k is a GPU test 1440p we do though that's still valuable so it's great for that it's an IPS panel looks nice high refresh is nice and in terms of display is we now have two of them so h2 settle on a second one Thank You Asus for that so that we can have two identical displays on the bench so two of the mg 2927 9q monitors are 2009 qs and really looking forward to getting these and used so that's those we have two other ACS monitors that I bought used up there not sure what we're going to use them for you have their 1080p so maybe just workstation monitors and then over here behind me Patrick's been working on the rising tech affion case that we saw at copy tech so this is a mini ITX case right here and it's a hot box it's not a cool case looks interesting but we'll have review on that hopefully sort of soon once we figure out all the all the testing stuff oh and he plugged in that ACS keyboard that they sent along previously as well which is actually kind of an interesting keyboard I'll be honest but I have not used it so I don't know if it's any good but I think you're gonna replace the plate up here if you have a 3d printer there so the case test has been busy in the case test bench çb a test bench has been busy the cooler testing I'm going to start back up again soon and I tore these down this was for the one year liquid metal aging test and next up is going to be air cooler so I've been wanting to do this since December of 2017 we can finally do a pretty big air cooler roundup with a bit of a Gian twist to it I won't reveal what that is yet but both of these will be in use for that and then I can just assign one monitor to each bench so these are those cheaper monitor arms I mentioned where I can just set this one up to run on this bench this one else around on that bench and that will be very productive so that's the plan there nothing's going on here right now I need to clean off some of that for case building I think is the plan which we like this goes right under light so it's good for building systems parish flight testing is on hold presently while we wait for Patrick stone to have some availability to advance it fantastic you've been waiting for fantastic we do have that you can see the wind tunnel back there really it's it's a flow tunnel not a wind tunnel so Corsair one of their thermal engineers it has been helping me troubleshoot an issue I had with our custom PCB for Fantastic and he was able to figure out all the problems that I had with it that had me stuck for the last several months like five months now so he figured it out he fixed it he just put it in the mail that's on the way back to us and we'll be able to finally start doing fantastic but GPUs are gonna slow us down now speaking of we can go over and look at the GPU test setup - for RTX still a mess by the way we need to get like Paul from Paul's hardware to come out here and help us figure out how to make an organization blog like that's a hundred thousand years wherein we break down boxes and organize he's an expert at it I don't know how he does it I like the video to you by the way that's not a knock on Paul they're good so this room is starting to get interesting these were just we just part of these waiting for them to drain a bit this is not going to permanently be on a plate don't move eventually so you part of there's just just to make it a bit nicer in here this one will probably move over too the video set in the background on the shelf at some point I need to drill a hole in the bottom for drainage and we have other than other plants on the table at you I saw earlier so yeah that's just kind of nice nice to have some some life in here and then for non-life we have computers so this is our GPU test bench first one i've set up here first first nonpolar bench ice out of here there's no r-tx in here you're not seeing anything special behind the scenes I'm sorry it's just a 1080 but I'm setting it up everyone knows we're gonna be testing our TX soon so setting up for brand new suite of games some of the old ones are coming back and it's nice because the GPU bench is next to where I'm going to be sitting once I built the production system so I can turn start a test and then turn back and do some work and for that we have I set up an ultra-wide that I bought so there's a Dell electrolyte I bought used there's an old Dell 16 by 10 monitor I finally put the ultra whites are actually not that great for real estate because you can fit three things but it takes a lot of time to manually size them so two monitors from I set up finally and maybe a third for some other stuff but yeah so that'll be my station we need to do a live stream and build all the computers soon haven't set a date on that yet hoping to do a multi-camera live stream but that's the progress for this room one more room to look at so the storage room filled in pretty fast we have for example three trays of rice and processors down here and bunch of trace of memory video cards are all stood up for the most part room yachting in five more of the yellow video card stands up here up here I might add some over here oh no we got a lot of video cards CPUs are all in memories on the other side that's all in so lots of stuff and what we needed was a swap space shelf so we just installed that today Patrick and Andrew worked on that and I mean here I've got like liquid coolers air coolers motherboards motherboards motherboards dead motherboards cases cases everywhere to be reviewed shelf and there's stuff on that side too and then the new shop last shelf was built today so it's just a six foot wide one but I think the plan is the bottom will be stuff that needs to go so it's stuff that we're giving away the local friends or something like they were using it in our own systems because we're gonna run out of space obviously so stuff that needs to go we'll go here having a special place for it will force me to cycle stuff into it so that we can then cycle stuff out and maybe we'll just like leave it there and it might be a system of like if you work here and you see something there that you want you can take it or something like that otherwise we'll find someone else to take it so that'll be getting rid of and then I don't know what we're gonna put on here yet but I'm positive we'll fill it up pretty quickly so that's the upgrade also there's a vacuum over there but and GPUs are going to be really occupying my time for the next couple weeks so it's gonna be a busy busy few weeks for us but thank you for watching as always you can subscribe for more and you should you can go to store documents access net to pick up a shirt like this one or our full gamers Nexus logo sure to restocked a lot of them recently I think we have a couple of women's shirts coming in soon too for the graph logo design as well so check out store die gamers Nexus done that for that stuff that would've been funny of the class right now get a paycheck Comstock a MERS and access to help out there thank you for watching I'll see you all next time take back demetria's plant
