if you watched our recent review of Dell's ultra short throw laser projector the s7 18 QL known affectionately around the office as kylo red then you already know that it's a badass 4k HDR projector with insane brightness that works just about anywhere but what you didn't know is that we actually have not one not even two but three kylo ren's and today we're gonna do something big with them something big and wide okay so the first thing we need aside from projectors is a rig powerful enough to run three 4k displays in games at once so what we're using is three Quadro P five thousand GPUs then we needed a platform that could not only support all three of these quad rows but that would also have space for an additional expansion card so we're using an x 99 EWS from a soos a core i7 6900 k-8 core processor with a hundred and twenty eight gigs of g.skill trident zr gb ram because why not and then because our goal isn't to display the same image from three projectors no no we want to make one big image we need an nvidia sync two expansion card this is the same one from our 16 K gaming build which you can check out right over there powering the whole thing we've got a platter max D F Platinum 1200 watt power supply with sleeve cables right out of the box we've got an equal int tempered glass case although the glasses off right now so I can put it all this stuff with high-density soundproofing insulation in the front top and side we're using a lick max to 240 millimeter a IO cooler that can handle up to a 350 watt processor and we're using Lipa chopper advanced LED fans all courtesy of enter max who get a big shout out for sponsoring this video so then yeah we've got three projectors we've got a PC to power them now's the big reveal we are going on a little field trip outside where we're gonna be creating one gigantic image on the side of our neighbors building mm hey I think I solved the network problem we had a network cable running over to the laser cutter so I throw a switch here I think for I think we're actually pretty close to the 100 meter limit though for Ethernet on that subject I think we've got every extension cord in the entire building daisy chained together we've had enough power out here because we're running three five thousand lumen projectors projectors it's called sorry projectors so yeah they're laser very efficient but still so there are a number of challenges that we have to address before we're gonna be able to game on this number one is that all these projectors need to be level off the ground so the innovative strategy that we've come up with is a combination of these rocks these rubber tape it and then we got some printer paper to kind of do the fine adjustments at the end problem number two that we have to solve is that they all have to be exactly the same distance away from the wall although what's cool is that they don't have to be the same distance away from each other because the Quadro sync card in our configuration here allows us to fine tune in videos mosaic settings on a pixel-by-pixel basis so that we can get them to butt up right against each other problem number three is that each one of them has to be key stone because we can make all the pixel-by-pixel adjustments in the world that we want but ultimately at the bottom the mouse movements are going to be really unnatural problem number four is that our office is right next to a train obviously we couldn't do this inside because we wanted to project you know like a freaking 80 inch diagonal screen I just need an 80 foot 80 foot sorry Imperials not my strongpoint okay I'm not quite sure how you intended these runs James one for bean bag maybe one per feed bag doing me to help you help make a spot in it for you okay so we've got them good enough because we're not gonna stay out here all night now it's time to make some fine adjustments so with monitors you bezel correction to make it so that when something passes over a bezel you don't end up with it misaligned like this but now we want overlap I feel like I'm giving a presentation or something so now we're just gonna you know click the mouse over there it took a lot of tweaking but once we got it working it was absolutely freaking sick Rick James jeez you are actually like 40 feet from the start menu right here what's wrong with one of the things we learned is that just because it's awesome doesn't mean that it is actually usable no there no there's trees in the way clearly some games operate better in 48 by 9 aspect ratio than others do looks like system so it turns out that just because you're using three $2,500 graphics cards that doesn't mean that you can actually gain at 60fps three times 4k is a lot of pixels and enter max for allowing us to come out
