Two Idiots Build a Home Theater PC ... ON CARPET!

2016-07-20
hey what's doin building a computer on carpet why are you doing that because the internet says I can't oh okay so actually been at this for a little while now you just decided to make a video um I got a little sick and tired of how big the computer that I was using for the simulator rig was and as you can see I took the monitor off the rig over there and now I'm making a home theater PC out of the same components and putting in a note six of light so yeah the issue here is the 605 does not support water cooling at all in fact it also only supports coolers up to about 130 ish millimeters and this cooler is actually hundred and forty-one millimeters but it does plenty of room on top before it hits the top of the case so we have enough downdraft here but I'm using the Gemini when is this the s5 24 downdraft which is kind of neat because as you can see it overhangs on top of the vrm or you can flip it around the other way and have it overhang on the RAM but it's on top of the vrm and it will help cool the vrm in fact I had it going in the other way and I was like oh I need low profile ram so I went down to the shop and grabbed my low profile Ram but since I flipped it around the other way now I can actually go back to my my other Vengeance and I've used my low profile and now we can go back to 16 gigs of 1866 because no home theater PC is complete without 16 gigabytes of 1866 cheers a tickle you'll never know when you need a Photoshop on the home theater ring the power supply here is gonna be so overkill 2v 1200 1200 watt power supply and altimeter PC but I gotta get these two fans on right here it comes with two of these this isn't a review guys I've actually had this case for a year Fraggle centum you over a year ago and I'm just now getting around to doing home theater build that comes with two of the silent series are two fans one of them is pre-installed with this that way your power supply fan or power supply cables don't get jammed up in the fan so that's kind of neat it's so powerful and then I had two more of these from another fractal case that I reviewed and I'm going to fill in the other slot so we have two 120 millimeter intakes actually I guess I can't do that now that I think about it because I'm an idiot the power supply it's gonna pull air from right here so I can only do one intake and two exhaust will be that bad it means I'm gonna have negative pressure which is going to cause a dust issue maybe I'll have this one down here being exhaust I'll have the two on the top being intake so I've got positive pressure right here on top of the cooler and then I don't have eighty millimeter fans but there are two eighty millimeter fans that can go right there and then I'll probably have my power supply pull air from inside here instead of outside that way it can kind of help balance out that that pressure I don't know sounds like a bold move people - let's see how it plays out No how does that mic sound though right now where you're listening to it while recording yes that's pretty good I can hear me jeez suddenly you start screaming see I was up a headphone but when I'm just talking normal you can hear me doesn't sound all crazy ugly yeah yeah I sound far away and so I'm like right here no just talk to the side of it like 20 that you and talk pointing it Oh oh wow I'm loud oh good if you guys can't tell we're playing around the new Sennheiser MKE 440 which is a stereo shotgun mic it's got two shotgun mics on top of it like this stop throwing gang signs well I think it it works pretty awesome maybe see I had I had a rode videomic in my shopping cart on Amazon Prime day I think Sennheiser might have hacked my Amazon and saw that that I got send him one sent in one I think that might even what happened I I didn't find anything I really wanted to splurge on I did it's right there Internet's gonna oh yeah it's an Xbox guys watch out it's a the division version oh you're not fun with that not getting a visa Canada coop no I bought that on Amazon Prime day because I feel bad that we're always downstairs watching TV or something and Little J wants to play on her like Lego games and stuff so instead of bringing the Xbox downstairs up here because every now and then I want to play downstairs on the on the nice TV I was like well I get another Xbox for cheap and we'll put it up here in that way I could bring my account over here and when he comes over and we played fours or whatever we can play up here if the wife's down there watching TV or vice versa it solve problems or when no one else is here we use both of them I didn't even think about that if one of the truth we had to do a split screen yeah we could just do live I kind of really want to fart but I'm like holding in I'm waiting for you to part first I've been farting oh so someone's probably already noticed too that I said I was using a Coolermaster s 5:24 cruller but this is clearly not a cooler master fan that is on there and you're right I took off the Silencio fan that comes with it and I put on a fractal venturi for 140 millimeter fan this is a 120 and doesn't cover the full surface area of the cooler which i think is weird I don't know why they didn't just ship it with the 140 version on their own cooler that support to 140 so yeah I put that on there just to kind of give it a little bit more cooling capacity if you will weeding capacity II that sounded so is suddenly Jamaican I don't know guy doesn't Jamaican say pokeyman a Pokemon you should use like a carbon filter every time on your but always immune to it we just look at the breathe filter you know after breathe filter didn't work he'd be like Sarah to my fart it's like Burt a sec for breeze yeah so every time you go it smells so fresh in here you realize wait you farted yeah poof that's kind of neat so we got two fans blowing in right here directly on the cooler so that's going to help in cooling and I think the open vents right here too with an 80 millimeter fan slots right here are going to help with some of that heat can be able to make it weights way there so it's not going to swirl around in there oh well have the graphics card right here so it's gonna be semi compartmentalize this guy actually goes like that so it's a cross member support and this is also where the weather for the hard drive cage is attached to you look lost no I'll try to see if I thought there would be enough room right here for me to drop this like behind the power supply to come up Oh guys back there I don't know why I'm so worried about the cable management in this thing because it's not going to show that I care I mean look look at the cable management I'm doing in this thing and something you can't even see like I've got things wired under the motherboard got fan wires here routed in a way that you can't see them care about these things this sounds like an episode of Monster Garage hmm don't you dare you son of a bitch Oh so happens you try to fit in 1200 inside the HTPC I'll just see myself out then see it it looks like it fits yeah but this is just a test fit I need to see I put this on here we're having sort of interference with these guys I don't think I will though nope does it hang out we're back here oh you're fine but some power connector Oh so I'm going to get right here like that barely fits right there but yeah you can't even use that one the power connector is not gonna that kinda sucks yeah well see the PSC is nice and short oh god that looks like a minefield over there serious yeah I feel sad that you can't run SLI I mean I could a 750 watt would actually power 210 eighties yeah I do I did want to run SLI ten eighties in here because for VR does matter you can run graphics cards per eye and you can hit that 90 Hertz which is got magic sweet spot for VR can you give me a favor yeah can you go to the shop enough shop the officing at the other wireless that's sitting on the desk thank you oh right here just in case once though whoa Danya almost just when you do what it tastes like this is just an order to things if they have to go together like a puzzle pretty much I hate puzzles oh yeah I'm on one that was so good she that's tight you want to say it so badly hey why you making this uneasy though most home theater pcs don't have like full-length multi fan graphics cards going in them so if I had a short graphics card then I could use the hangar damn I could get this to tape start the negatives the hangars not having any sort of interference with a graphics card mm-hmm now what I'm gonna do here is I'm quite literally just going to and I really should be putting in a better harddrive right now for this but wait we went to Micro Center yeah I got that three terabyte one there go ahead and get it where is that it's in the closet because I can I can copy the steam library off of this on my 512 gig pocket SSD from visiontek and then I can transfer it back over to the new drive that's so much easier I've seen some people cringe at the thought of using double-sided tape to mount this stuff damn it if this stuff is good enough to hold panels on cars that are driving down the freeway it can hold a frickin hard drive to the side of a metal case palms and especially when it's not moving but the hard drives moving platter is spinning the harder itself is technically not moving technically air quotes I built plenty of computers with double-sided tape okay I never had an issue oh I trust you mister I'm gonna sound like a youtube comment right now oh god don't stop just put it down it's not going anywhere I my concern about getting that off now number two you should use a spatula geez oh there okay so that proved my point I finished this avoid the hard drive breaks into no I shouldn't got the one on sale you know make the case look good and if the cover was on it what it's like 12:01 12 for whatever I'll have to be this tight moment of truth something's working get me a wind up the Gigabyte lit up yellow like automatically by itself all right that's one green I think it's doing color shifts oh it's going to your voice look at a box oh my gosh Congrats and we got windows booting up where's the QC stickers alright so everything's done a couple days later actually here's the entertainment center right there yep that's an Xbox one deal with it I've got my Sennheiser RS 175 Wireless I guess they'd be they classify them as audiophile but they're home theater headphones so hooked up to the TV and then I've got the case right there all in its glory now one of the reasons why I did this was if you look at the play area here I have for the HTC vive it's a pretty big wide-open space and I want to take advantage of that the problem was when I had the computer over here next to the racing simulator the court had to come diagonal so as it came that way you would hit the end of it over here and it would pull on your headset or you trip on it but what I also did as you can see as I moved it to right there the the actual hookups there's a blurry finger the actual hookups for the vibe right there so now as the cord comes out into the middle of the room you've got easy access to all of the giant area here that you can use for the HTC vive but it's kind of neat because I've got this hooked up right here to the TV obviously but because I have the optical for this coming from the TV whatever is playing from the TV whether be PC or Xbox or TV you know like satellite will play through the headphones so little Jay could be up here watching TV and not disrupting anybody same thing with a when playing on the PC or playing on the Xbox the other cool thing is once the PC is on and you're in VR you can control all of the Steam menus from inside VR so you don't need the monitor or in this case the TV to control it so someone can be playing VR and someone else can be playing the Xbox one you know sitting over here to the side and can see the TV just fine while someone else is playing VR and they can be using the headset and hear what the Xbox is doing so you could actually have someone playing on the PC in VR and playing on the console at the same time oh and something else I got was a Logitech g600 Wireless Gaming Mouse pretty much live free heard a lot of great things about that Mouse so I bought that and then I also bought this logitech wireless keyboard nothing flashy nothing fancy just so that you can control it while you're sitting on the couch and be lazy and don't have to get up the other thing you can see is I took the monitor off of here there's no point having the monitor anymore everything's wired down here to a USB extension and a power cord so that when I do want to use the racing sim in VR like project cars then I can pull it out here more into the middle of the room plug it into the front of the computer because the node 605 has this little fold out they'll flip down right here it's got a card reader and USB then I can do that and then when I want I can push it out of the way part of the problem was when this thing was sitting diagonal like it was it also protruded up into the play area which I didn't like but I just received word from fnatic that they will send me their racing setup with the wheel and pedals and shifter and ebrake and and all that stuff so this is going to be getting reworked again and I'm probably going to get a different racing simulator frame low higher-quality one to go with the higher quality components anyway that's that guy is just a quick easy vlog I figured since I was doing the build and the changes anyway I might as well at least take you guys along for the ride so anyway thanks for watching hope you guys like the gaming setup it's kind of nice to have friends come over now family they can come up here and play we actually dedicated playroom like an adult playroom which is kind of nice not that kind of playroom you know what I'm trying to say I'm gonna get out of here before I say anything else that's stupid all right guys talk to you the next one
