Set Building, Organization, & Test Benches: GN Moving Vlog, Part 6

2018-08-18
so this is first of all super bright hopefully they'll its headings are okay we can't see the screen sort of monumental first test bench is going into the new office this is the first ever real test bench that I bought so this goes in the office first and this is our secondary bench for GPU and CPU testing we also have as we'll show from another shot from the inside of the car we have a car full of GPUs and and some motherboards that are defective that's what we've got to work with right now before that this video is brought to you by NZXT is new h 500 case which we recently found to have an impressively effective cooling setup that is entirely negative pressure when stock the H 500 is the successor of the S 340 and s 340 lead offering that high build quality that's all steel in glass and kale management features that are also a top class for the $70 compact mid tower case age 500 is a part of NZXT Zanu H series lineup which also features options for mini ITX micro ATX and full ATX builds learn more at the link of the description below first test bench first-first I'm first the first challenger well we're sitting in the world's most economically amazing chair to make custom length patch cables not an ad bought the chair myself I don't even know what the brand is yeah we're just making custom links patch cables to go from the patch panel to the data switch and then we get a couple of wall wall ones as well and then as soon as this gets done we'll move on and play with that which is much fun that's the new power supply testing setup yeah which I'm sure was in a video at some point yes and now we're gonna develop testing methodology should be amazing yes gotta figure out how to use it and what we're gonna test stuff like that mmm so I'll take a bit something's gonna work on most of that what our um through the stuff you have on the table for your your cable making so you have a bunch of short patch cables yeah and then you've got just some cable cutters yeah diagonal cutters and that's just - I won't once I get my wire to the right order I'm using t IAE I 568b I just kind of measure it off stick this guy like that and then they all cut to the same length just boom done and then double check your order orange white orange green white blue blue light green brown white brown and if you know it's all good just kind of slide it in the connector and make sure it stays in order and then just before you seal it up you check one last time because again you know what I have to do it twice and then wedge and jam make sure you can see all the little tips of the copper wires and make sure that the blue piece is under the crush wedge when this guy yeah so what is it this clamps it down there's a crimping tool yeah so you just slide the rj45 in push in as you're doing it and then pressure down nice now you have a good to go cable in the stack then just all the headers right here mmm and that's where you reason earlier yes to test the cable and for all of those people that are looking at those little rj45 is going oh my gosh those are not the exact right once we are going to bandwidth test 10 if we don't get good enough bandwidth will remake it and we will get good enough bandwidth yeah it'll be fine our initial testing showed us that we would get nothing yeah we're getting 1.1 gigabytes per second and that was with the same equipment those are the same equipment and it's basically 10 GB but it's pretty damn close yeah so who cares this is our it's really just to move the tripod more easily but it does say tripod dolly Keegan has taken to assigning it a name but he's not here so we can't tell you what it is oh oh so you pull with that okay so what how does it look we have a ton of fans Keegan tried to organize them yes no day before yesterday and we actually had too many to fit on one shelf or two shelves or yeah so it's a problem that it's a problem of depth we can put all the fans on these shelves but then we can't actually get to them because these holes right here we have to reach all the way back in there so this is the shelf formerly from the set room that had some graphics cards and Nintendo figures on it and we're going to see if we can fit a bunch of fans on here mostly like this this we also can't really see the labels if we take them like this but we'll play around with it we have boxes for a lot of them too so maybe we'll be able to fit them all maybe not the wheels don't work they're broken we're gonna test the wheels on the light tripods works really well I think you're supposed to maybe like maybe like this oh these are awesome I'm trying to keep the 140s on 120s on separate shelves at least they aren't very well organized like that's 120 120 140 120 so far but I think as long as we keep each shelf with one size so you have a billion of these holy Amelie Bora fans that don't even have standard fan connectors on them and the bunch of 180 and 200 millimeter pins that will probably not go on the shelf but I think we can fit all the rest of these hey everyone we're here in the gamers Nexus nuclear fallout bunker Keagan unabated it out of a fear of earthquakes because they're very common here right here all right so we moved the light into the studio space we did our audio testing they're gonna have to do it again once we had this in so this comes down now are you working with Keegan and Patrick to start with that girl join us in a bit after we get some footage this is gonna be a pain in the ass basically have to remove everything off of it kind of vaguely remember where it is I'm that important though and then I numbered the panel's and then we're gonna have to pull the panels off the would support beam which some of these beams were like cracking when I put the screws in so we'll see if they survived so yeah wall comes down now and I guess if one of my team members will light up their nuclear fallout bunker hahaha we can a that hurts a poster we can start putting some of this stuff in I guess just these bins to start with you don't need a fancy high-tech stud finder when your studs are made out of metal I guess that's one advantage well it won't stick right here I mean like I can feel it but if I let it go it'll drop mostly but it sticks really strongly like right here it's six really well and then it'll be like kind of light and then really strongly right there and then really strongly reverse things yes my method of determining whether or not there was a metal stud was to drill into the wall and see if a screw went into it and it did not and then Patrick stuck a magnet to it so the problem here from here is uh unfortunately these are easy to patch up still very annoying a waste of time but and also they're loaded onto the floor intentionally so they reduce the amount of effort but the problem here is that we aren't gonna be able to mount the wall the way we wanted to into metal so I have to look at look at what my options are at this point other than a bunch of drywall screws or something like that okay so the walls outer walls are one our firewalls inner walls although not firewalls our steel frames and so we're thinking that wall is almost certainly a steel frame as well which means we can't mount the pegboard to it so at least not the way we wanted to which was into wood studs so you need to find another solution because it's kind an important thing for the set right now and it can't can't take the wood screw approach and apply it to screwing into steel and it's definitely steel because Patrick around a magnet Hill Honda and it sticks so it's not wet in there so we got to figure out a solution the wood frame the same thing aboard except with the wrong number of means that's fine so I think we can run two beams down to the floor on either side and just screw them in and then probably something beam there and then to support it properly boom yes I profiled here yep so we've got our front profile these will support it one piece of wood on either side so doesn't tip or fall or whatever and that should hold it up if we wanted to be fancy we could put wheels on it but I think we'll probably just take the get-it-done approach first yeah if we really want to I was on later we couldn't run I think two people to let that bad way two people could lift it but we could run we could just glue or stick some carpet like spray yeah start slides yep so it slides just like fix it in reversed on the bottom right and it's slightly rounder everybody wanted then they'll be easy like if you were here low and wanted to shoot or that we wanted to set up without you all right so I'll hold it up it'll be further away from the wall which is not thrilling but we would also be able to move it if we're not crazy about shot we end up with or if we want to do something different these two are gonna be be they're gonna go up the sides from the floor and the frame that we have is gonna go into these theoretically like I need the products through suffix everything I say with theoretically so end of day something this one is merging several things together but it's the most significant stuff so first note I'm still not wearing to laugh right now so you're not gonna have the best audio in the world that's not because the room sounds bad it's because I'm not wearing the mic i normally wear so the first video that features this position will be a hardware news video so as you'll see earlier in the video we tried to mount this to the peg to the wall there's what we really wanted to do cousin be pretty easy just drill it into the studs and mount it up and go and we were all approved for that and everything ready to go start drilling into the studs and realize they were made out of metal which you probably saw earlier in the video so which was confirmed also by Patrick taking a little magnet but it against the wall and yes they are metal so on the same night we worked until why are three til 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning Keagan Patrick what 2:30 soon as it was a late night for everyone we worked basically all day - and the result is we built just a quick facade wall because here's the problem the point isn't do it perfectly as I'm sure people are gonna be like but I would have done it this way and it'd be superior the point was to get it done and be fine and it is both done and fine so we built like facade well just a frame really and mounted the existing pegboard and frame between the two stilts or whatever that we have rolling rolling legs and these need we're gonna add a couple support beams and stuff like that but the trouble with moving a studio is that we moved everything over here and then discovered that the walls which I had been led to believe had wood studs in them actually had metal studs in them and we didn't want to do anything involving mutilating metal studs because none of us are experienced with it so this was a solution that could be done pretty quickly get us back into filming state like immediately because we were gonna run through our buffer of videos filming of the house and then there's no there's nothing left there so it's not like we can't just sit around and wait we had to get something up immediately and I really have you a bit so the height works that well because with the table positioned here we're going to have basically I'm getting another table and that'll go over here at some point so we're gonna have a raising lowering table on this side we have the Kowal table back here we've got some room for workspace and then this big table will move that way in front of the streaming set but it's also starting to shape up streaming sets just a workbench right now because we move the table over to film hardware news but the heart the table can move back over that'll be our stream set we'll have one of those like probably autonomous desk is it's going to tell us what I think four over here and that takes care of the set area so the lights are deployed and working all the lights in the ceiling have been replaced except for those in the park corner these lights panel replaced Keegan is currently sitting at our new table so this came in today as well I I mentioned working on until 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning and what I did say had is that I got a call 758 in the morning right after I went to bed to come get this pick this up or let them in to bring it in so yeah this is actually pretty sweet it's not in its final position it's gonna ship that way the couch that I'm getting is going in here and when this shifts over it will allow us to do some pretty cool interview setups so the plan is to basically AC just came on so sorry about the audio but the plan is to basically have the engineers and guests sit down on an opposing side like if if we kind of rotate this 180 degrees have a chair here a chair here we're facing kind of 45 degrees to the camera so we can look at each other or the camera without either angle being a hard angle that feels or looks awkward so that's really cool it's also a nice table the bar height is great for once we move it the camera will go kind of that corner shoot this direction and then the video set will be in the background of it which will look really cool so also a super comfortable and it's a good kitchen table but not too bad on the fine for this one very happy with it and just need to move it to the final occasion so this came in that's news I think back covers a kitchen area for this room this is also that needs to be inventoried still so Patrick's been working on he's gotten a whole hell of a lot of it inventoried these do that SSDs power supply testings kind of getting set up now so I don't remember which video we had Sonnen or if he ever made it in for that video but I set this up with him so most got very act for voltage control from the wall voltage control so we can step it up or down if we wanted to simulate 90 volts like in some regions in Japan for example we could do that and see a power spike we have load testers all his stuff and he's gonna stone it's gonna start working on the power supply test pathology soon so I think that covers this room and so it's the case test bench I guess it's out now that's really it we haven't made a ton of progress here yet that will happen shortly storage is still being finalized but like everything else I can't fill them pretty well though check out the fan system so we originally had fans on this shelf in here and Patrick will talk about in this video I think it's gonna be on this one but when he was studying it up we kind of realized that as Keegan filled this shelf of fans it's just it's too deep so you end up with all this metal section where they're just completely inaccessible that's a huge problem for testing realize we have this in the background of the old set pulled it out space the shelves appropriately and that we have an awesome bookshelf for fans that just happen to eat basically exactly the right size so yeah that's we've gotten separated by 120 140 200 so forth and I'll make it really easy to grab fans for cases or for fan reviews and testing power supply is filling in motherboards filling in this is all just stuff at this point so nothing special then all the network equipment is still being set up so it's a spaghetti mess of wires right now we're not done wiring it we have confirmed that 10 Gigabit Ethernet was working the cat sticks in the walls is working great speeds are good and we're limited basically by our SD card speeds when we read off lemon odds with an ass right now the nats is just kind of down there on the floor for the time being and we'll get a more permanent setup later but yeah so router switch all that stops in here we have the Buffalo 10 gigabit switch up there router other switch for one gigabit and the internet so that takes care of that in this room we just have all the foam out expanding basically so it's pretty much fully expanded at this point we can mount it to the walls in the set room but we're doing some active testing on noise perfor so what are the acoustics like when we're in there before we put the set wall up before and it's gotten better by the way that con reverb have largely gone away and then we're gonna do more testing with them now up and then more testing still with the foam installed and we can have a back-to-back ABEC comparison which will be pretty sweet for video so you can see how the audio levels and the acoustic behaviors change based on the changes we've made and your system setup it's the only one right now so just throw up an ultra-wide and that monitor is probably gonna move to a throwable test bench but yeah so we're we're kind of up and running at this point so think that pretty much wraps it up for now it's been a long why I like a week plus two weeks more this moves been in I've been working on it for like six months now and the actual moving part has just been obviously abusive because we've been doing work to keep making videos and get them up every single day and also move stuff and try not to miss days in between so pretty big challenge but it's all mostly done at this point just need to finalize inventory all the other stuff is in and we're getting the set finalized getting the acoustics finalized so we're in good shape but we'll have another update for you at some point might continue this series - this isn't the end of the series but we might continue it with like a GN improvement vlog as well anyway that's it for now as always subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow gamers and axis tops out directly with the moving expenses and just if you like our stuff or go to stores our gamers Nexus dotnet to pick up things like our new mouse pads that just came in the last couple weeks these are pretty sweet so monitor woke up and made noise so the blue actually came out way more electric blue than our original sample which is awesome and the people who ordered them early and got them have been pretty happy about that so thank your pick it up it's on stored at Gary's excess on net if you're interested has the sonne border at the edges so it kind of helps with preventing any fraying or anything like that thanks for watching I'll see you all next time
