what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and I'm gonna take you on a little behind-the-scenes tour since that seems to kind of be the thing everyone's doing now so of course I want to follow suit and copy I'm gonna take you on a little behind-the-scenes tour of a lot of the tech that I use on my daily basis here in my house not only in my personal life but also unrunnable that would be interesting right okay so we're gonna start off today in a space that you guys saw in the previous video I did showing the house but this would be remember was just full of stuff stacked up but anyway this is a built in desk that was actually built in with the house so I was thinking what am I gonna do with this thing so I got to thinking kind of like how hotels do they have their little business center tech center it's almost like a little cubby that you could just go to and do your printing and you know if you need to print airline tickets or whatever I wanted to make a space here where little Jake can do homework the wife can have her laptop set up now this is really the new like star of this area here and this is the HP laserjet m4 77 it is an extremely powerful and flexible printer solution that I'm using here HP a messy part of their campaign here which is a reinvent the office and I think youtubers have kind of done that right we've turned our our passions into a business and our offices are very unconventional so that's why you know I know what to call it I don't really I don't really have an office and I really have a studio I really just turn regular areas into workspaces but because of that I need a printer that can actually do full-fledged business needs so it's not just a printer it's also a scanner a fax machine a laser jet so it's it prints very very fast especially right now during tax season I have got hundreds of receipts and documents invoices statements that I've got to scan and get over to my tax people which are not local and I actually had a very I was having a hard time trying to figure out how I was gonna get this stuff all over to them especially if you go to someplace and pay to have all that stuff scan it's very expensive so HP approached me about doing the review on this I'm like heck yes I need this for my business so this is one of the reasons why we'll be doing a review on this now if that seems kind of weird to you guys like really you're gonna be doing a business printer review remember guys I worked in IT for nearly a decade this is stuff I had to deal with on a regular basis and I didn't have a printer here because home grade or you know personal use grade printers just don't fulfill the need that I have as a business so we'll be doing this review here soon up here in the walls we've got some stuff we put up here for Little J getting 100's on her tests Booya so anyway this is a place that we she's always liking to hang her artwork and stuff but we have a stainless steel appliance that you know magnets don't stick to so she can come here and just kind of put her own thing up on there and then she can yeah she can hang up her own working stuff a chore board here that we've got for her she's really keen on trying to earn money so this is her chore board where she could earn her allowance and stuff and then over here we are going to be plugging in our tablets and things this is my ax 33 Sony camera it's actually a 4k camera it's a very nice camera really like that it's like that's why I did my vlogs with in Seattle but I need to either build or come up with a place to dock all of these tablets and phones because we have quite a few so I want a place where the cables can be nice and tidy without being all over the house so that's what I'm gonna be doing here I just got to figure something out if you guys know something I can use link me to it on Twitter or put it in the comments or something I need something for right here and then of course we have my shop in my inventory which you guys have already seen this is where I'm gonna be doing all of my builds it's we're gonna be doing all of my testing of hardware and stuff this is the test bench that I just set back up if you guys hear lawn mowers I apologize all of the neighbors seem to have different gardeners that all come on different days therefore there are lawn mowers running every freaking day in this neighborhood and it is super annoying anyway here's I move the stack of stuff that was over here to over there and the reason for that was the plug and then there's the powerline adapter which you guys saw the review on is right there so I had to move the desk closer to that wall that way I could actually get everything to reach on the shelves over here the two lower shelves the black ones on the right these are this is all my water cooling stuff so I can do all my water cooling builds I actually bought some stuff to organize all the fittings that way I can find them a lot easier and then everything here is pretty much organized based on the type of stuff that it is we've got headphones and headsets up top AMD graphics cards Nvidia graphics cards motherboards power supplies coolers microphones and hard drives this power supply is actually slated for a build for read missus getting an update the master master error maker eight guide to review on that still keyboards it's more miscellaneous stuff and then extension of headphones and some tight mixes and stuff but anyway that's that the office used to be my YouTube studio slash office slash builder space which really kind of sucked because it was an 8 by 10 room that literally had very little room to do anything if I had to build a system it made a huge mess it kept me from getting work done it just was frustrating and recently I moved and that's not the case anymore so I've kind of got a few different places here that I actually do all of my work so we're gonna start here with the office which I've clearly recorded some videos in but it also doubles is where I get all my business done now I get asked all the time about my desks this is an Ikea Galant system the reason why I call it system is because as you can see by the seams in the desk they are modular and that means that you can expand it you can shrink it same thing with this desk over here it's another piece of the Galant system if I wanted I could have technically attached it you know to the end right there and it could have blocked the doors unfortunately IKEA discontinued this desk and they replace it with something called the Becket which is not modular like this because it's very angular and it does not have the extensions on there but taking a look underneath the desk you can get a pretty good idea of what I mean by it being modular because you literally bolt on these extension frames here put a new top on there screw it down and then there it is all my cable management's being pretty much handled by these under trays which are also part of the Galant system at IKEA unfortunately I believe that they've discontinued those as well which is really disappointing another thing I get asked about a lot is my chair this is a dxracer iron series chair it's designed for dudes that are up till oh I believe 350 pounds I'm currently 240 pounds so this is you know obviously a bit heavier duty than I would need but I used to have the Kings series chair which was made for really big dudes and since I lost all my weight I don't need that big of a chair anymore so I've got this very form-fitting very comfortable chair from dxracer you guys seen a lot of my videos I literally just love this chair upstairs here I've got another Wireless this is my asrock g10 I just recently did a video on that for the audio I'm still using the monoprice large diaphragm condenser mic it looks nice it's got a built-in shock mount it's XLR haven't been having too many issues with it I'm having some issues with my audio though but I believe it's the cable because I cheaped out on like a $8 cable so that's probably going to be the issue it's hooked up to a hile PL 2 T arm it's a terrible arm by the way I don't recommend this arm it's extremely overpriced and it costs way too much for the quality of it it's also not very long so it doesn't reach out very far I mean yeah you can see it reached out you know all the way to to there but the problem is it's just it it's just not good for its price that's the only way I can really explain it it's kind of squeaky it makes a lot of springy noise and it just I don't know I got it because it was designed to hold a lot of weight and at the time I had a blue Yeti attached to it which is pretty heavy my audio setup for Tech Talk is the same as it's always been this is the alesis multi mix 4 it is a very inexpensive like 40 but $45 sound board or mixer board here I've got one mic hooked up to it it's also got its audio output which is my headphones too so I can monitor what's happening everything with the audio of the mic as well as the stream and it's a USB output so it's connecting to the PC via USB interface so it's also a sound card which means if i plug in my headphones then i get all the system sounds and gaming sounds to so that's pretty neat of course little Jay thinks I'm number one dad so I've got that on the desk when it comes to monitor I am using the predator x 34 mounted on a rose wheel arm back there as you can see I don't like having desk Stan our monitor stands like better on the desk so I always use an arm as you can see right there technically it was a to monitor arm that I took off one of the arms and made it a single monitor for keyboard I'm using the Corsair k70 RGB I've had this keyboard for a while and for a bit I was using the g.skill RGB that's just because I was trying it out and unfortunately I'm getting tired of all the flickering on camera with the other keyboard as you can see with this one there is a very little flickering if any at all now you guys say what the flickering I can change you know get rid of that with the frame rate of the camera unfortunately I've played around with my Canon here a ton to try and get rid of the flickering with the g.skill it just doesn't go away no matter what I put the FPS at this is still by far my favorite Mouse of all time this is the CM storm Reaper Mouse unfortunately they do not make us anymore I don't know why they stopped it was part of their aluminum series where it has this removable aluminum top here you could paint it Anna dies it do whatever you wanted to customize it I don't know why they ever stopped you know producing that but they did this is my horas gaming Matt it is the extra log version so you can see it's actually kind of dirty but what I like about this is it is made out of a material that you can seriously just wet and wipe down and all these fingerprints and stuff come off so it's really really nice where it starts to look kind of grimy like this you can literally just clean it I love that now a lot of people have gotten mad at my cables here the problem is I like to kind of kick back with my feet up when I'm editing and stuff if I if I put a hole back there for them to go through then there's not enough slack for me to put the keyboard on my lap if I'm sitting back it also not enough slack for the mouse to make it all the way to the computer tower which is all the way over here so that's why I've got it like that if you guys know of any wireless gaming stuff that has very little to no lag on keyboard and mouse I might consider it so put it in the comments down below if you think there's something I should check out I'll gladly buy it and I don't even want to receive it for review I want to go buy it I don't want to try it out to see exactly how well it performs because for gaming you know lag sucks all right this is skunk works this is my main system and it's kind of the staple of the channel it's gone through many different iterations right now it's three Titan X's water cooled on a gigabyte X 99sec SOC champion it's got a 50 60 X until extreme CPU overclocked it's got 32 gigs of corsair dominator ddr4 of course it's got a 560 read a 280 read of 480 rad fans everywhere water-cooled galore everyone loves the water cooling it's what I do hey you can see me in the reflection right there so yeah if you've never seen this PC you definitely must be new to the channel but that's ok we we welcome you here now the lighting that you see on my desk right now is nothing more than LED strips that are stuck on literally on the edge right there they are RGB so you can change the colors they are preset colors though you can't like you know you can't do fade and stuff like that so here's yellow you know we got some blue we got some pink we got some white green so we got all kinds of stuff there yeah I'm really happy with this and I like that I can change the color based on my mood it's like I'm in a bad mood I don't want to be conforming to society know I'm red you could be like oh I'm happy now we're go with blue blues happy this is my main tripod right here with my battery adapter for my camera which is a Canon 70d I'll show you that in a bit I kind of cheaped out on it it's an IR any image I've got it from Sammy's camera it's a pretty good pretty steady camera tripod I mean but it's doesn't have the smoothest a panhead on there even though it is fluid so I want to get a better like a Manfrotto or something like that but it is what I use for most of my shots when I'm using you know a static camera so I'm still putting this area together here this is pretty much it's gonna be the guest PC slash backup PC if skunkworks goes down or something this is my 6700 K build I did in that NZXT s 240 it's got the z170 in there for the wind from EVGA 6700 K and all that stuff here's the G scale keyboard that I got moved over here from the main rig and then this is also the g.skill RGB Gaming Mouse right here this thing's pretty cool actually it's it's an ambidextrous Mouse so it's got equal buttons on both sides and these little parts right here literally just stick on this is hard with one hand they stick on with magnet power so you can set this up for comfort it comes with a bunch of different pieces here that you can use so you can make it truly ambidextrous I've got this set up how I want it it's fully adjustable it's a it's a pretty neat thing might actually do a review on this so these are the soft boxes that I use they're not very expensive in fact they're quite unstable they're always wanting to fall over on me but I cheaped out on these from Amazon I want to replace these with some good LED light panels so if you guys know of any good video production LED panels let me know but there are six lamps per each as one in the middle and two on the top two on the bottom it gets really hot using these they are I believe 32 watt LEDs in there they're very very very hot when all ten of these or twelve of these are turned on but anyway that's what I use when I do my lighting and stuff inside the closet here not much to show quite honestly we've got some radiators and stuff there the g10 box some other things chilling in here so there's not a whole lot to see yeah I've got my xbox 360 down there what what what about it but this is quite honestly one of my favorite pieces of tech that I've got right now and this is the racing simulator as you guys have seen me talk about and tease and and really just wear the heck out when it came to any excitement over this thing I know you guys are like okay are you going to race me assume I just don't care anymore well I care and that's the whole point of this video but it's the art racing cockpit from GT Omega you guys can check the link in the description or just search my channel for GT Omega and you guys can find you can save 5% using my discount code which I believe is Jay's 2k14 yeah we need to update that anyway this is the rig that you guys just saw me build or put back together the other night with coconut monkey obviously I've got my Audio Technica headphones hooked up to it Logitech g27 steering wheel and pedals I need something better I really really do and then I've got three Acer 1080p 60 Hertz panels nothing and entirely too incredible there no no g-sync nothing insane but yeah that thing is so much fun I loved it last night instead of going to bed I actually sat here in and raced at Willow Springs for a bit my local track anyway guys that's just kind of it a quick tour of the tech that I used and I just realized I forgot to talk about the camera I'm actually using here this is my Canon 70d and it's got a 17 by 55 ultrasonic lens on there just perfect for video it's an F 2.8 all the way through so when i zoom in or zoom out there's not going to be any darkening of the image so I'm pretty much a homebrew mount that I made or an actual rig that I made so I've got my D focus follow focus on there and I'm using my Sennheiser wireless mic setup so if you guys are interested in any of that stuff just hit me up also you can do a search my channel for camera and you'll see the stuff that I've been using when it comes to the camera hey guys thanks for watching hope you've enjoyed this tour I know it's not all like teen crispy and stuff like that with like gorgeous b-roll and whatnot but hey this is my style and it was kind of like we were walking around together taking a look at all of this stuff around here anyway guys thanks for watching we'll see you in the next video and if you guys have any video suggestions remember you know what to do hit me up let me know and maybe I'll touch on it alright guys see you the next one
