welcome to tech showdown the theme this time is pixels that's it last time it was future we all saw how that went so hopefully it goes a little bit better this time I'm here with 7s and I'm here with antvenom we've got some game as streaming game youtubing guests to go along with our well potentially very game oriented theme but first introducing the hardware so Corsair provided their 600c case a nice clean blank canvas for us to work with we've also got h1 15i water coolers RM 1000 x power supplies along with some Dominator platinum memory to go with our Maximus 8 Xtreme assembly motherboard our msi gtx 980ti gaming graphics card our 6700 K processor and last but not least our cable mod cables and lighting so beyond all that stuff I just listed the rest is up to the imaginations of the two teens and I wish the other one luck not because I want to wish them luck because they don't seem to fucking need it because this is gonna be my third time using if I go down again here I wish myself and antvenom luck we got this I'm confident let's go Intel's skull canyon nook features a 6th generation Core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in the video description ok so now one thing I'm a little bit concerned about is this top panel doesn't seem to yeah it seems to be like riveted mmm in a way that I was not expecting it to be now let's see what we're doing there I mean I want the top here because all that shit yeah it's like we're not doing the original thing on that remember let me look what look what set there like that's not even required no you're good oh yeah we're sort of hot panels your problem okay the right panels your problem yep that handles my problem and the front of my bra I did I wind up with like the two like showcase pieces is great because hey man you wanted to be a guest so you know I'm not saying I'm not owning up to the challenge I'm going for gold here well you said you wanted to win so ragging you the I wanted to be along with you let's move down that's right that's right we're taking loose down who's not he cannot be undefeated yet again okay so this is nice this front canvas comes off for me like really really beautifully which is gonna give me a lot of a lot of room to work here so I have to get started on this right away because I'm relying on multiple layers of paint to dry fortunately it's extremely hot today yeah okay let's take all the crap off the news just oh here to get started on this you know we need to do painting really really quick I'm gonna lay everything out though okay uh which is the top that matters sorry which is the top for this this is will be clip move yeah this is the time okay oh yeah this is hot yeah should we have brown in the middle so there should be a brown stripe in the middle threads look up an image well there is no top down I there is no top down were a bad idea like um yeah the path Brown and then we'll build it up on the other end right okay so six of them regardless of my planning for the for the paint here I need to get this first layer on like extremely quickly here so I hope this tape works properly um okay paint oh all right I need to paint all of these yeah do all our all of them like that Oh have you tried this okay does it actually I don't actually know if it matters now it has the arrow from ham oh it's just it Wiggles on guru food it just Wiggles a lot less it's hot oh whoa it's pretty tight it's pretty tight yeah right now I'm just sort of tracing over this area right here and then I'm going to like practice cutting this material and then make sure I get to cut really smooth cuz sharpness is like a key thing here making sure that it all looks really really good so I am working on a multi-layered paint job that is going to be the dog that will some duck hunt and a duck so this is going to require about six layers of paint which means I need to get started painting it for sky color immediately because I mean it makes sense because our guest today is sky does MINECRAFT right wow you went there it liked it even though I know it's gonna turn out really well it makes me feel so useless isn't going along because I feel like I could be doing so much more at once I did not check the drying time for this paint not that we had a choice because the colors that we needed were only all available in this this trend clad less paint stuff but it wants one to two hours to dry I'm going to have to find a faster way to do that okay so it's a hot day but where is the hottest place you can think of on a hot day inside of a black car or at least a car that used to be black this is the sky color for the front of my face I'm going to be basically baking this dawn on the inside of my car the French air now that will hurt its adhesion but I only need this to last for a few hours so step two if I actually need to take my design and count pixels well okay yeah that's fine I'm just gonna draw myself a grid and you use this nice big piece of paper here and I'm gonna take one of those pencils that you ya hated on so hard I'm just breaking down my graphic here that I want to use in - how many squares by how many squares I need here I noticed speaking of squares that they already managed to have something painted before we started here so I'm not really sure how that works this is for the Mario Road up on top sure so this thing which will play these things that's not right is theoretically going to go up here so that it can be accessed from this area all of these are going to be used literally I guess I could probably leave with that to the theme yeah and then we're going to use this along with these which we will color to make sense with this and these which will create the thing that he's coming out of and then that whole situation is going to go up here and then this you can maybe figure out from what he's doing great pretty self-explanatory if you know what's up yeah yeah and then there's going to be some of this stuff going on and then these guys are going to explain everything I'm like how it all works with like this thing and stuff and yeah the other stuff you'll just have to kind of come along see how it goes that might be the one just checking to see which ones are the sharpest by rubbing them against my bare fingers because okay just cuts right now to make sure that I know how this is all going to break apart and like how it's going to look so I think I might be okay but I might do what I might do is cut a little bit too big and then just sort of make it and make the cuts thinner and thinner until I can alright it's the fact that I have these lines that cut on made this like such a brilliant fine because the scissors are just kind of like gliding with it this is this is probably gonna look super shy yeah I need your uh a judgement call over here for a minute okay okay to make my life easy I can work with centimeter sized pixels yeah and that will make this graphic go to about here okay so it'll be about this big that's what that means I'll have to cut off his head about here sticking over the bottom what do you mean so like it's going to go from the chin up I'm gonna it'll mean that I'll have to make a lot of adjustments to go to the size of my grille okay I mean if you think we got to do it then we got to do it so though I'm just actually you know you can do zoo is there a way you can like zoom in on that picture super far and then we could like use a scroll wheel and like actually see what it'll look like crops with the duck I could see if that I mean the whole hand so you think we need that basically down to that that's what I'm I'm thinking personally okay so this is not the right size oh my god there's there's a CPU sitting just put the heck up all right perfection we really care about getting the tops of these and some of the sides I'll sort of piece it together so that the ones that I get the sides I will also go on the sides of the build and the ones that have the non painted sides those will go on the interior and hopefully math works in our favor and we have enough with the half sides painted oh yeah okay we got ya a little bit light on each side I might end up making it a little bit taller this while I'm cutting it okay and then we'll surround it with blocks yeah yeah there's no way to take this off and cut it oh so quail egg rattling if I screw up the cut we're just like done oh man if it's screwed up or if I screw up the top of case like I I can't get another case I'm a little worried about this one all right good so first incision made I'm actually really satisfied with that result with my 1 centimeter by 1 centimeter grid that I need for the big the big my big contribution to the project so ant and I have divided up the labor so each of us is taking on one smaller project and one bigger project so we're prioritizing the bigger ones right now and then whoever has time left over will actually build a PC I guess if I forgot about that part yeah well you'd be surprised how often that's happened every single time that's perfect it's so good so good we actually should do an install the install pretty soon but all of our blocks are the same size you know what that just adds to the charm that goes there sounds like Linus is doing a lot of the work over there I thought this supposed to be a team project this was like the best find Oh am I gonna really free ball this one free ball free hand this one hope I didn't make this too big I don't know if we have enough blocks really like I thought we got it a lot but yeah the magic doesn't happen so it's just sort of making it look close to right at this point that's about the best we can do I think it's fine people say Picasso was a great artist I say check this out okay so I think I'm good I ended up I cut off one pixel on the wingtip here which I don't think really affects the look and gives me one pixel of margin on either side whoa so now what I have to figure out is the order in which I want to do the colors so what I want to do is layer my tape onto this template I think I really wish I had used the shiny side which I would feel more confident about removing this from but I want to layer on my tape cutting really really sharply in such a way that I can remove layers as I want to apply more paint wait no that won't work hold on I need to cover it more as I want to apply more paint wait okay so I just need to file it down a little bit nice it's not like it turned out really well so I'm stenciling on the back obviously it's not showing through at all wow that's great so just file it down a little bit and it's going to look sharp I mean it already does look pretty sharp okay so I really wanted to do this with tape but it does not appear as though I'm going to have a choice which might mean my lines will be a little bit less clean but I think that's a sacrifice I'm going to have to make here so I'm gonna go see how dry it is I'm going to do my dog and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to use the exacto knife to cut out color by color and then I'm going to use tape to fill in the gaps as I do other colors part of me was worried that this would like bubble or some something like that and I'd have a real problem on my hands in fact that actually looks kind of fantastic that paint is still tacky oh that is a huge problem because I can actually live with the other colors being tacky because I'm going to cut away my top layer as I go but this one cannot be this paint I can tell you one thing for sure this paint is going to be wet when the judges are judged I've never used one this big to do this job I don't know if this will work yeah this is too big but wood might work it might work later whoa it's all good okay all right so right now like I made this second shape I mean I haven't cut it so it's not another time waste but I looked at that and the way that this has to go on the side panel and I'm like yeah maybe not the smartest idea maybe I should get something of the same width so I'm going to do that I'm pretty worried we are down to an hour and a half I have basically not started painting yet the good news is that the second panel is relatively low forward so not a whole lot to go wrong ah I could go on all I'm hearing over there as time as a problem so I don't I don't really feel bad at all like I don't actually feel like time is too much of a burden for me right now I'm feeling good everything about what we think we're doing takes forever we are not doing well for time thank you for asking all right so yeah Linus is using the exacto knife so like as you can see I still have like a lot of cuts to make here but I think I'm just gonna leave this be for now and then work on this material for the shape that's right there and then will pretty much be good to go and like looking at this we're looking at this versus looking at that like that's going to be way easier to cut I'm not even gonna have to think for that this is like the little pew pew thing that's it's a square yay snap that off that right there and bam final shape so all I need to do is take the exacto knife to this guy and we're done like this entire side panel you can have a look at what that looks like does it look like pixel art like is it perfect no does it look like pixel art yes so term 5 foot mod ok so I'm starting to get deeply worried about drawing times here this is still very tacky not to say it doesn't look good I think it looks great it just feels very tacky so I'm a little worried about how I am going to get my stencil on top of it without completely destroying the finish and I really don't have a lot of time to wait anymore so what I may have to do is build myself some kind of scaffold or something that gets it very close and that I may just have to spray down as straight as I can in order to get the lines as clean as I can but you can see where he's going to be yes all right so we're we're done our cuts that took a while but now I'm going to move on to like assembling the computer and just making sure that we have a completed like machine pet we can showcase off so this is either going to be a moment of triumph or a moment of despair hey Dad I can look at that as you - Ino oh god why HD - evil I've never gluten to me well before that's gonna weird don't screw up they might have done the power light and money so first things first I'm going to touch up so the good news is I did all of this in pencil so if I catch the light just right I can see the lines that could have been bad so I pick up the processor and I have it in this hand and the heat spreader just falls into my other hand so this is all I got for like a way to keep from spraying over the black that I've already done this is okay so that's 2 out of 4 colors the next ones are going to be the ones where it really takes shape and I can probably do both of them in one go here run these fans we get these like different color rings so just to try and like color match everything not really too sure if like this color this color will really work at all so just to be safe we're going to go with white and just kind of go for saf as far as the fans are concerned so that we don't have to worry about you know getting any of the colors wrong everything I do now can completely destroy the project okay shut up and I just made a queue here my god dude destroyed it as in a good way like the bank's asshole no no like oh dude I'm shaking beautiful oh it's so beautiful nail that's like the unrealistic yes I know okay here's my glove we got love for the love Oh God oh my god I didn't like didn't expect what you're doing at the bottom there that brought it all together well tell anyone but I was that tell you because this is like my specialty in my field I decided to create like actually a little story around this rather than just placing everything at random so like as you can see like this this guy right here he this guy right here has no idea what's coming like everything behind it it's like everything in from is like nice and lovely everything behind him is just like Danger Danger Danger at lighting in there right yeah um although you want sent us some kits that are magnetic I don't came unplugged came on before the RGB came unplugged super metas I have to make a video dude I know it's actually working yeah totally is plug-in to control this there we go okay post 99 okay yo got it got it got it got it got it whoa Jesus that's very bright good enough not the most amazing looking thing ever unfortunately tape go to work better but I might just have to live with that and by night I mean we will definitely just have to live with that oh okay I might have made a small error to find small so let's say I'm upside down desperate times call for desperate measures yeah that's amazing you're gonna do do the eight there's the fans in the front start spinning go just that thing aggravate whoa I like it love it okay we're done done hey piece gross huh I'll see you in the judging room whoa okay so we got to move ours over there how do you want me to do this I want to stay where you're at and then I walk it through the office yeah sure yeah let's do that so cuz the way it hangs down it's gonna I will it close I don't know yeah I think it's gonna be close hold on I mean if you cut it open dude I could like it but you know what I forgot the bottom is inverted ATX ah kaboom sucker done perfect okay I love the build already they're trying to butter us up by saying hey take a mint so there's free mints in one of five collectable tins you want the scoid boys house no verse to the star one yeah we couldn't find it that was gonna be they didn't have the dollar store that was an idea house they do really I want to do it I don't know if these are real mint or not well no this is cool this playable though like holy crap okay I'm see the case looks wicked oh you guys have a screen that is a beautiful dog and that's all this guy right here and that's the system that's playing yes it's not so there's Donkey Kong on the side of the glass side of the case looks very cool the aesthetic is dank all the buttons of this controller this is very nostalgic alright let's see what we got going on here because I spent the past 45 seconds just like marveling and how all the buttons on this are mapped correctly we've got like an O Maj 2 DK here like with all the ladders and whatnot um there's no looking at here there's like a big Mario sock over the heatsink it's kind of crude but it still looks pretty cool there's a bunch of like Tetris blocks in the bottom space invaders machine so there's like a Mario diorama on top it looks like they used a couple of little shot cups to make pipes which is pretty sweet oh and it has like the flag and everything oh this this little thing is official has Super Mario Brothers 30th anniversary on it that's pretty that's pretty sweet so I like this this is cool but over here we've got an official antvenom minecraft style wait it's like Minecraft as well as hunt but it's like a 8-bit con with the duck hunt wasn't you know I know but like but I guess it's like a Minecraft duck what's the theme I don't know there's a thing on top of the graph is called a little orange guy do you know what this do either of you guys know what that is little orange guy I don't I don't actually play it's a creeper I don't play minecraft ok so creeper for Minecraft yeah Colton knows yeah okay that's pretty it's actually pretty clean overall yeah they did a pretty good no that's yes yes plug Arn the controllers like come on look yeah and push the power button ah ah okay well that's cool they put okay Zelda emblem here too that's pretty sweet I do like the setup here the game is frozen though oh good you get you good okay Burkle's gonna keep playing um super mario we're going to finish looking at at the Minecraft / old-school 8-bit case here so we've got pong over here so what's going on oh look at this side so on this side on the mario case we are we so they also they both want the space invaders here that's interesting so space invaders you have one that goes from pac-man you have actual pac-man who apparently is missing an eye but that's okay okay I feel like the NES build has a lot more going on the entire lot more factors you have like over there or all you really have was the one what would you call it the creeper the creeper you have a cure but here you got like the like the ladders of stuff from DK you've got the Mario sock as basically a ram cover and we don't know what's in that sock all right so I'm gonna give the Mario themed PC I'm gonna give it a 7 out of 10 overall I liked it it has a little bit more to kind of wow factor when you first initially see it but with the theme being pixels and stuff the more I looked there's a lot going on but I think some of it was a little bit kind of shuttle a done the theming for the most part is really really good all the way through the DK ladders on the front you've got the mario sock as a ram cover um most of this build has been touched in one way or other by the theme which I really appreciate so um in all I think that the NES build no I do not forget is over benign uh well I spent the whole time playing video games on the nest build and it had free mints and it looks cool I would say it's almost a ten out of ten except is a little bit dirty you know it's not very clean but you know what a little a little spit shine and polish this bad boy could be a ten but it gets a nine for me as written right here and I wrote some of this his name on it all right so the Minecraft being build for me gets an eight out of ten I just like it it's it's clean it looks good I think everything on all was pretty well executed so well I looked around the outside I thought the the paint job especially for the duck hunt on the front where it actually looks like the duck is fleeing in terror very realistic I think the diorama on top is slightly more realistic than the nes bill because there is a background but basically nothing happened with the inside which was a bit disappointing but a good score I think is deserved for this so this one gets an 8 for Linus nat venom well I'll start off by saying I did really like the paint job on the front I thought it looked great and if Linus was involved you know that's a great paint job for lightness so I think he really put in the effort and he worked hard and I know it looks really cool I wish they had almost carried through the like blue paint job case because that would have looked really cool or like just like paint on the other panels I would have been awesome but it still looks good the one of the pong side I thought was kind of Shadle II painted I can't really remember it wait Sharlee painted it wasn't as good as a front but obviously the front of the case what you're going to see the most if it's like in a desk or something um but yeah I thought it was good it just didn't have the extra little Flair that was on the other PC build so therefore I gave it an 8 out of 10 which is still good that's like wow the closest section well and now a message from Dollar Shave Club who has a completely different set of talking points today actually
