so we're continuing the moving vlog series at this point reworking the set this was kind of a temporary addition for the main set the big table this is meant to be for the live streaming set so will be pushed over there and then we got a tabletop in and then from autonomous that the company that makes so the auto raising and lowering desks we got a pair of legs in from them so thank you to autonomous for those and picked up a tabletop to go on that then we're going to customize so the plan is go back to the corner style setup where we're gonna have basically the shelf here we'll load out the shelf with something I don't know this Patrick just threw this on here for now to see if everybody would get mad at the excess and video boxes because clearly that's a big sign and means something so we're gonna load in the shell with some kind of stuff I don't know why yet put the table and diagonally it'll be raising lowering which will be awesome for b-roll shots and this will more or less stay where it is this kind of stuff here needs to be finished and then this will go to the live stream set so that's part of what we're doing today the rest of it is going to be acoustic paneling and then I don't know if it'll be a separate video or what but we'll have a noise test with the foam paneling there versus not they're not versus having all the stuff in the room so we can see if it actually does anything before that this video is brought to you by us and the gamers Nexus store at store gamers Nexus net you can pick up one of our mod mats now on backorder because they keep selling out or you can grab one of our other products like the Raglan 2-tone hoodie which we have in stock or the full gamers Nexus logo t-shirt that we just restocked in cotton and tri-blend flirtin more at store doc gamers Nexus net other sides better so the side we had on top will keep as the top okay let's bring this out there and just put it on the so I hate staining things and Sandy veins but for this we did the previous table what came out looking really good and a lot of that was just standing there before working on it so that it really helps the stain kind of stick and it brings out the woodgrain more so give it a bit of a stand that's all the imperfections out and let it take the stain on the polyurethane more there's a bug please do not become part of my table oh there's this let's put this thing somewhere so you're never gonna be here well is that is that the shrine to AMD is that what the prophets of / r / AMD have foretold the gamers Nexus sticker drawer so we have Asus stickers including a passport and a credit card then some very distant gigabyte stickers including a passport and a critic and all these packages where they gave us these stickers they gave us the coasters - oh really yeah we actually use the coasters Thank You asus our whole office is filled with asus coasters some week we could use more if you have on ugh poster ug stickers this is one of EVGA s posters come on EVGA who hangs posters up anymore okay so I've just been an orange by Patrick that this says one three three seven EVG I don't know if that makes it better or worse the ACX fire sword and they're all pads scandal what's hot just cleaning off did a sounding pass on it to sanding passes on it smooth out the grand a bit it'll let the stain stick a bit better and also will help the grain texture stand out better and so now I'm just cleaning off all the sanding dust before doing this the staining and the polyurethane because there's a bunch of dust on here now from that so next step will be starting the actual stain and finished process we're going to go with the grain for this and try and minimize brush strokes first I'm just kind of trying it out to see what the color looks like and how heavily I need to apply it really don't need a lot of this stuff can do multiple coats if we need to just have to sand it with steel wool after to get some of that polyurethane layer up because it is a combo I'm not doing staining and probably everything I'm trying to do it all in one go which I have not done before I've always stained it first stained it first and then done the polyurethane coat but we're gonna give this a shot just cuz he and I are flying to Germany tomorrow that's kind of ready and I really don't want to have to deal this when I get with this when we get back because we're gonna be dealing with probably products so I want this done before leaving so we're mostly done with the actual move part now and we're on to finalizing the move but also office upgrades we just got a shipment of six berta Gator chairs in so thank you Berta gear for setting those over I don't know we'll we'll build these maybe do like a race of building them versus each other itself like a speed build I don't know but we got six chairs in the wall so all the foam paneling is more or less done I don't have a lav mic on right now so the audio is because we're using a shotgun mic no laughs but yeah foam paneling is mostly done we have the set table is outside drying right now so we're still standing it probably retain all that stuff so set tables coming on pretty nicely we're gonna build that up with an autonomous one of the autonomous like raising lowering legs for b-roll purposes so that'll be pretty nice and we also have a four hundred dollar light that is stuck to a two hundred dollar piece of metal so I need to figure that out and I think we're also maybe going to install some monitor arms so a lot going on for today's video as we continue to upgrade the office and start making use of it so pretty gear SL 5000 that's the chair and I did want to point this out so we've built a few chairs lately office chairs like straight office chairs it's from Amazon that are no-name brands and gaming chairs one thing that none of them have done is ship with an actual tool that you might want to use later so I will say we're in here thank you for providing an allen key that actually has like a handle and some torque to it and you can actually get it in where it needs to go cuz long enough so thank you thank you for actually doing that I mean sure we have plenty of allen keys it's not like we need one but I think for most customers probably having a decent tool included is a huge upside so I'll give them that for sure that's that's definitely definitely helps push the ease of installation angle of the chairs there's a gas pump and think all the other parts are mostly pillows so head pillow back pillow I don't use those I just use the chairs straight as is these days but if you like them I guess they're nice and then this is the bottom part of the lever and pump and then the chair base so time time to build some chairs oh yeah also also where Daguerre has the Noctua chrome axe rollerblade wheels where's the why does it even do that no but seriously though I I don't underst berta gear I don't understand this box you have perplexed me so I can open here it's meant to open but also you can just push it off it's my IQ is too low to understand this so Berta gear sent six of these over we didn't ask for much help with the office move I paid for almost all the furniture like Gian paid for all of it all the furnitures make expensive but Christophe adverting here previously worked at be quiet as PR now a verdict you reached out and asked if we wanted some help with the chairs and I was happy to take the help at this point so we've got six of their chairs to build put them together we're gonna use them in the testing room and the production room and overall I mean like sincerely not just because they sent our stuff the quality is significantly better over the last time I worked with a verdict your product so if it's been a while for you then it look like they've they've improved a bit but they've changed over personnel and stuff a bit too so yeah we're gonna build these I need to find Patrick not sure where he went off to but we're gonna put them together once I find him so I'm replacing the all the door handles and the previous tenant really rounded out these two screws I went and after and started retyping this one that's why it's basically Oh circle at this point but even that one you can see from the previous town it's pretty rounded out this one was worse it was not salvageable so I just started drilling through it to take the head off then I came across the realization that I probably just kind of tap it out like that and it's actually rotating so I found this trick from just the YouTube channel it was called the ultimate handyman or something like that it's pretty good trick I got it to do a full rotation so far so I'm gonna go for another couple rotations on it and then I'll be able to extract it with just pliers and twist it so yeah it was a original was going for a drill bit kit like this except using a smaller one I've got got a couple different sizes in there but you drill with a smaller size one in Reverse and then you flip them and drill again and it'll bite it and pull it out wasn't having any luck with that so I switched over to just using a basically chisel and hammer and that's working extremely well so far as you can see it just kind of it rotates a bit so I don't have infinite shots of this but I've got enough to back it out another maybe one or two turns and then I can then I can just extract it normally right okay there we go so I ended up just once it was loose enough I'd stuck that under there and just popped it out I got a longer screw to replace it so the threads and they are definitely old janky now cuz I mean this ripped all the wood out but I'll put a longer screw through on the we're gonna replace this anyway so we're gonna replace this whole thing and replace the handle and put a longer screw in and then we'll be good to go and this is going straight to the trash but that was really good trick though cuz these screws were both super rounded out by whoever worked on this door last sadly I think it was actually a locksmith and nor the person before him maybe this one's clearly I mean I can work with that but the top one was there was gone so so I tried to use the bit to extract it and that certainly rounded it out but I didn't really have much confidence in it the problem is if you drill through all the all the head you kind of limit your options on removing it on extraction so I ended up just cutting it short on those I haven't used them before anyway and I did the tap method where you get a flat head and just lightly hammer it in and it turns so that works great and we're good to go now we can replace this handle throughout those screws and never use them again and okay so verdict here we know that you really care about your products getting here on peace but you don't need all of this leather and foam to pack the cupholders I should my thumb oh yeah that's definitely okay sweet well Verna Gareth job well done like seriously the first time when Keegan and I built one of the vertigo chairs chairs several years ago when they were new and he was the S all4 thousand or three thousand or whatever when we built it this these are arms snaps first all a much longer direction like way forward with far greater force to the point that I didn't want employees building but this is way better so vertigo seriously job well done on improving that and managing to make your ease of installation process superior to your competitors in the gaming chair space because there are a lot of them now so anything to stand out and be not dangerous is a good improvement alright so here's your comparison this is the original one he and I built genuinely we were afraid of it we were actually afraid of this arm and the way it released and snapped so hard with such force and Noble chairs Thermaltake Corsair HyperX everybody who makes a gaming chair it's pretty much the same suppliers some of them are finally started to differentiate themselves but it's taken a long time and because they're the same suppliers they all have had the same flaws one of which again was the snapping mechanism that on some of the chairs like noble chairs had actually a big like keep your fingers away from this warning so that's improved on this bottle so that's good it's no longer dangerous it's a big improvement there the arm rests are the same these you know I'll be honest of course we appreciate the chairs but I got to keep it real ready gear I don't really like the arm rests it's the same problem that again every single vendor has so it's not just ready gear its verdict your noble chairs HyperX Thermaltake Corsair everybody else who makes a gaming chair buys the arms from the same supplier and there are hard plastic so we actually buy these for them and then they become great so it's like an 8 or 15 dollar pad you can get an Amazon so that makes them better but as far as the rest of the chair so for the original model it has this bump in the middle which I did not like so that's gone here it's just a flat bottom now it's got ventilated holes in the bottom so a big improvement over the original and the white on the original did not age well with like belts so you can see like how the belt marks have worn off on it from black leather belts and stuff like that so this chair overall though I haven't really used it yet but it does at least from a quality standpoint appear to be significantly better in the ease of installations better so overall on the up for vertigo with the chairs and hopefully some of the other vendors can follow suit because a lot of the gaming chairs are just they're just clones they're like all clones of each other so looks like we've got some work to do build another five of them certainly a better overall quality and build experience than this original one from several years ago we kind of gave up on Verde gear after this one but we're gonna give her after sending these over I'm willing to give it another shot so thanks just kinda head over we'll try it out and give you some feedback let you know what we think of it follows this stuff so I brought in one work shelf of tools and yeah I mean otherwise this is all back to a better version of what it was at the old location so back to a corner shot those scopes back some people were we're very upset that it wasn't there the first few shots like takes a while guys takes awhile to move everything yeah that's our set yes we can mean find something else to show it to so a test room test rooms gotten a lot of upgrades and these monitors are not permanent we just put them all here for now so this one's probably moving but this monitor is it's on an arm and this is gonna go to one of the two test benches for thermals so the plan is to have a thermal test bench here for air coolers for either Andy or Intel and then have the opposite brand on this side depending on how they interact with each other they probably won't run simultaneously but we'll see if they don't influence each other we'll run them sign on simultaneously so this can be hooked up to one so it will around be easily this one these are both 1080 so they're not really meant for for like GPU benchmarks they're not good enough for that so these can both just be hooked - thermal test benches and then Patrick's got a CPU bench here that's been running so that's up and working hooked up to an Asus 1440p monitor that we've had forever they're sending a second one so we can put that over there with an Intel test bench still have an AMD one and in Taiwan and that'll be our CPU testing we have a filing sorter thing that we use for open motherboards so that's pretty useful and then the two ACS monitors up top they're not 100% sure where those are going yet but we'll definitely use for them if only for production systems so that's this side this table was raised up and it's a standing height now the thing about this table is I'm never gonna be actually typing on it so keyboard height kind of irrelevant but all we do is like click a few things start a throne benchmark and walk away from it so standing height is way better for that and then we have these that our patreon supporters generously gave to us so thank you to Xena organized it and a lot of you contributed thank you very much for contributing to that effort to our page shot backers brought us to these Han type fatigue mats a couple of other things so this will probably get here for now the other one will go on the set or something like that other than that cooler bench is right now and liquid metal stuff here power supply testing set up Patrick stones been working on it so he's been figuring out some of that methodology I think that gets you up to speed on on the test room so is your office moving blog update we're getting close to a point where we're going to be doing more office upgrading vlogs than moving there is still stuff back to the house so today I brought in like I don't know probably 50 pounds of these just stock coolers from AMD and Intel at some point we made bring a bunch of them to a recycling center that can melt down the copper and aluminum and actually make use of it but for now we have them and it doesn't hurt anything by being here so yeah all this stuff I've always used we need to like real able and make it ours but that'll be nice for small parts cables stuff like that small heat sinks all of this stuff is getting close to final and I think that updates you on the office for this one so thanks for watching as always you can get a store that gamers access net to helps out directly we have a couple of things up there like these that you might be interested in these are our new mouse pads it's a pretty good size and there's GN colors extremely vibrant and we have those on the store at store to karyn's like it's not not if you want one otherwise subscribe
