I'm sure all of you have seen the balls-to-the-wall 8k gaming setup that we created just a few months ago and I'm also sure that you thought there was no way that we could Michael Bay that well you you were wrong very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very wrong meet the 16 K gaming desk that will be building over the course of this video 132 million seven hundred ten thousand four hundred pixels of pure King awesome Ek water blocks is all aluminum fluid gaming lineup offers great water cooling performance for an affordable price learn more at the link in the video description so in theory 16k gaming is an insane idea but in practice well it's even more insane than it is in theory the original concept was actually to mount everything by straight up buying 16 monitor wall arms off the shelf bolting some plywood to the warehouse wall and just raw dogging it but I think we all know how that would have ended up conveniently jake has been on a seemingly unending desk PC bender and forwarded me some info about yet another enthusiasts desk PC that even puts the leanly dko 4 to shame the icy table its massive modular 3d print customizable and not to mention it is stuffed with gamer e beauty but with 16 of acer's 4k IPS g-sync gaming monitors in the mail we had to act fast so Jake shot an email over to the guys that I see table like yo dawg Sola is there a model of the IC table that could be used with a 4 by 4 grid of monitors and they were like no that's insane fans we're in and after about 80 emails back and forth we were ready to move forward not only did the renders of the project look jaw-dropping but the IC table guys being familiar with our content offered to personally drive the massive custom desk all the way up from Los Angeles to Vancouver and assemble it for us in our studio presumably to keep it from being dropped you need to 100 our silent Edition that's all right that's the only one we own now typically the icy table comes in a lot more pieces than we receives but to save on time the Siberian cyber guys did some pre-assembly and saving on time was important because as you can imagine mounting and aligning 16 monitors takes just a little bit of time but I'll come back to that later so we started off with the two large legs of the desk that each contain a modular drawer that houses a computer cooling storage or really anything you want we went with a computer on the left and actually not much on the other side we just sort of stuffed cables in there moving on the bottom cable routing tray got screwed in followed by the upper one then things started to get really exciting they whipped out the king of the net or t-con as they call it for short this is their modular system cage kind of like the skeleton of a typical case and it can hold up to an e ATX board quad dual slot GPUs multiple SSDs the works so on our first attempt we equipped it with an Asus maximum eight extreme assembly with a 7700 K but we actually ended up running into pci express lane limitations so we brought out the big guns a rampage v Edition ten with a sixty nine hundred K 32 gigs of Corsair LTX ddr4 memory a knock to a 10 HD 15 and the most important part of this build the four quad row P 5000 graphics cards graciously provided by Nvidia coupled with their quad row sync to card this is the secret sauce that will enable us to use all of these monitors as a single screen with a technology that Nvidia calls mosaic powering all of this is Corsairs behemoth ax 1500 i with stock table for now except for a single PCIe power that definitely didn't ship separately because Jake screwed up our cable mod order anyway with our system built twice it's time to focus on the monitors step one a fix the four cross beams that will each hold four of our screens the IC table guys actually repurpose some flat mount TV wall brackets on the back of the desk for structural support and to help us route the 32 cables necessary for all of the panels but before we can even get to cabling we need to unbox and mount some monitors each 27-inch 4k gaming display gets its own super beefy 3-axis vase alarm that can also tilt and rotate each of them must weigh about 5 pounds but I guess I shouldn't be complaining about solid build quality this was no doubt the longest part of the process but we finally managed to get all of them mounted before the end of the day and finished off by sliding the t-con into its drawer we can mostly ignore the fact that most of the monitors needed to be taken off one by one to align the mounts the IC table guides I got to give them props they assure me they've never built a desk on the scale before but the straight precision made it seem like they've done it a thousand times time to power it on now then right ah well it was about that time that we realized that several of our displays were aloft to 1024 by 768 resolution a far cry from 4k and some of them weren't lighting up at all well our generic 25-foot DisplayPort cables seem to be the culprit and until new ones arrived we are stuck at a dead end so here is where the project stands literally and like ten feet tall so stay tuned for our final tour of the finished set up after what hopefully won't be a month of troubleshooting in part two ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer service and customer satisfaction when you have your phone plan through ting if you call ting you will not speak to a robot or an automated phone tree you will get put through directly to a person and somehow they managed to achieve this level of customer service without bloated cell phone plans that charge their customers a whole bunch of money because the average ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device so why not find out if you'd save money on ting by going to Linus ENCOM and trying out their savings calculator you enter your last few bills and how much you pay for your current service and it spits out whether you'd save money on ting and if you decide to switch ting will actually cover 25% of your contract cancellation fee up to $75 so take advantage of their lower data rates than ever by signing up over at Linus ENCOM and when you use our link you'll get 25 bucks in service credit or towards a new device so thanks for watching guys if you just like this video hit that dislike button but if
