now if you're following me on Twitter at Linus tacular seeing my post the other day that the old tech tip studio is no more obvious clearing it out and done with it I've also posted a couple preliminary pictures of the new and improved tech tip studio but I wanted to take you guys on a quick little tour so let's start with the tech tips rack which used to be in the room that was adjoining to our old detective studio so this is our rendering machine where we do any sort of video editing this is our test bench where we can well put things on a test bench and we're slick can benchmark where he won't disturb me and Diezel over on the other side anymore cuz it used to be that has his rack was totally in the wrong place then we got a KVM up here which will allow us to switch between those two machines some storage here now I used to have kind of a separate room for storage but now I'm gonna keep all the storage on one side of we're if you look down this used to be two rooms then there was a door in between them but I actually opted to have the wall completely removed so we'd have a more open space in here so all the storage will be in this corner and then also in this corner as well so that's cases and weird stuff like that and then this is your smaller stuff your video card your motherboards your memory your CPUs all that kind of hoo-ha is in this corner with all the random networking stuff all the networking stuff goes on the top because I very rarely sort of use that stuff now this is my green screen wall so we've got special chroma key paint and this way I can unbox things in space if it comes to that I've also got something that I need to unbox pretty quick here the node 605 fractal design so this will be the unboxing table and what we'll do is we'll actually position the camera over there so that what can happen is you can either point the camera this way at the green screen or the green background and if we want we can then just turn it around and point it out what is the NCIX tech tip set and also painted in chroma key blue just in we wanted to do some chroma keying on a blue background so here you'll recognize the usual and CX tech tips table as well as well here's our TV but we run into a bit of sort of an issue where the TV is kind of too big for our new set so you can see I've got well no tip outlets here so that I'm gonna drill a hole or rather cut a hole I have one of those one of those handy-dandy drywall saws around here somewhere I'm gonna cut a hole and then I'm going to run the HDMI cable down but this is too big so we're gonna replace it with something that's smaller and something that finally has a matte screen and a matte bezel so you're not gonna see so many reflections in the screen which is sort of sort of brutal then over here this is the tech tips whiteboard where I usually have this is what you see me glancing out of the corner of my eye when I'm trying to cheat and read stuff then we've got our portable monitoring station so the tripod will actually go here in the middle of the room so it's just a matter of turning around the lights to shoot that way and turning around the camera on the lights to shoot this way which is very cool then we have another rack over here not sure exactly what I'm gonna do with this one yet this will either be another test station for it slick to work on or it can be something where we run things temporarily in order to do some kind of a demonstration over on the tech tips table there so this will be just kind of a portable rack we might keep things like extra peripherals that we sometimes need to film and you know like the tech tips shirts and all that kind of stuff so so this is just kind of a utility rack for the time being so that's pretty much it guys thank you for checking out my little tour of the owens i cables thank you for checking out my tour of the all new and improved NCIX tech tip studio don't forget to subscribe for more videos probably not many videos like this one but like more videos like other stuff
