it's construction time again so on the one side of my home office I've got that server cabinet that's full of networking gear gaming rig servers battery backups the whole nine yards and on the other side of it in this room I've got a whole lot of nothing time to fix that today I will be constructing what I call TM the world's most comfortable gaming setup so come along for the ride cooller masters master case maker five features they're freeform modular system allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link in the video description so first things first we're going to take this Samsung 65 inch curved su HDTV up to the room and do a test fit something that I actually have not done yet so the position of the TV is actually going to be one of the things that makes this the most comfortable gaming setup we could have just put it against the wall right here and put like a chair over here and call it a day but no that is not the world's most comfortable so now the TV is actually going to mount to this 55 degree wall and the viewer will actually sit right here there we go of course this is not that comfortable and this the pillow sack provided by loveSac comm is the solution to that problem let's get this in there so what makes this the optimal piece of furniture a beanbag chair is that I can get the user reclined at exactly the angle that the TV will be at above him see that oh yeah hey do you guys mind throwing the TV up here so I can see what the viewing distance is gonna look like I'd imagine this is what it's like to be ludicrously wealthy you wouldn't actually mount anything you would just have like you would just have staff on hand that would just move things and hold them wherever you need them so it'll probably be about eight or twelve inches off the wall this is going to be freaking sick okay thanks guys awesome let's get started but we've got some challenges to overcome in here first the Kenai dam um you might have noticed that this room other than this horrible light fixture up here has no power no network and in fact has no insulation just like the one on the other side and if you're going to have a most comfortable gaming setup well the plan better be to have it in an insulated room don't you think in fact the only electronics in this room right now are this Chubb caretaker from what appears to be this chip was manufactured in 92 okay somebody spread that insulation around well that explains why the garage was so cold during the early days of lioness Media Group we were all working over there there was no insulation if we want to come quite low because remember it's little kids okay so I'm thinking for instead of trying to match the base in here we'll just go with a flat stock trip with everything ripped off the wall let's go through the plan in a little bit more detail it's changed a fair bit from the original concept and now it's going to be kind of like a cool kids play area as well so this hunk of wall right here is actually going to have a framed like metal plate that goes down to about here it's going to be like a cool magnet wall this right here is going to be power for a reading lamp and right here is going to be another beanbag kind of a lounger that's kid sized for them to sit and read the bookshelves will be covered in books and DVDs and games and then here we've roughed in the spot where the TV is going to go so we play it around with our mount a little bit and it looks like it's going to end up on I believe it was yep it's going to go as far left as it can on these two so our power is going to come out kind of in the center and then our data connection so we're going to have Ethernet for the back of the TV as well as Samsung's one connect do that right here so that way all of our HDMI inputs can actually be over here on this wall and just this one cable needs to run between that and the TV itself over on this wall I'm going to have everything wall mounted PC Xbox Network switch so that everything has networking running over to the other room and anything else that I could see fit including this one connect box itself which is going to be powered Oh doesn't use separate power that's cool I guess it's powered by the TV this box right here is going to provide power for everything that's mounted to this wall and is also going to give us with the access panel that we're going to build in over here the ability to vent this room later on in the future if we decide to do that but we may not up here we're going to do two 6-inch dimmable pot lights and then the room itself I believe the ceiling is going to be black and the walls are going to be kind of brightly colored and and fun so hopefully we have enough light but we can get it dark enough for a really great movie gaming experience this crappy little side table from Ikea is going to be cut off and is going to be beanbag chair height and is going to sit right here next to the beanbag with another little lamp on it just in case you want to sit on this one and read and the carpet is going to be replaced because who puts artificial turf in their house ok Linus so that's great that's what everyone but you is doing what are you actually contributing to this project ah yes I have something I am going to be building a sick wall-mounted computer to go in that room to power the gaming experience on the ceiling mounted TV how do you build a wall-mounted computer well you could DIY it I guess but I'm going to be taking the easy route using a Lele PCO 6sx let's get this baby put together so for the motherboard we went with a Maximus 8 Jean this is pretty much the no compromises M ATX board for LGA 1150 it's a Ford's SLI and crossfire it's got all the outputs you could want and build quality to match our CPU and RAM choices are admittedly kind of overkill we're using a core i7 6700 K quad core with hyper threading and 32 gigs of Corsair Vengeance lpx ddr4 memory but I mean hey maximum comfort requires maximum performance right right this is a really cool case they've got some cases astonishingly to add thermals see it's a lot of things like this that drive me crazy with not just lately all case manufactures you couldn't spring for three more zip locks every computer manufacturer hates me personally gtx 1070 feels like a perfect choice for this machine cross threading it all right so this baby's ready let's bring it back upstairs and find something else to do I'm going to be taking some of the leftover cat 5e cable from my how to run Ethernet outside your house video which you can check out right over here I'm going to be running it from my server room across the peak I'm actually going to have to crawl through a crawl space in my attic over to the new room so that you know whether it's games or whether it's Netflix I don't have to worry about a wireless connection being a bottleneck wired only baby you know what I'm gonna get myself a head lamp hold on I'm gonna poke a wire through over there first did ya go well I'm back in so are you going to the other side now yeah I'm gonna fall all the way to the other side can't wait for you to add the other side yeah you might be able to see me if you poke your head in okay so this clip is having just gone in from the server room I have to crawl through that hole oh my god Dennis just fell down yes what the hell Dennis please don't fall through my ceiling Dennis did you put your foot through my ceiling oh my god you oh my god I always been up on your phone your cookstove crotch oh man yeah I know the thud oh god dammit Dennis I almost died so we interrupt this program to bring you stunning footage of the damage that Dennis has done to my house there's the brand-new hole in my ceiling of my garage that we had not intended to put there is this a bit of a blue no it is not supposed to be made of wood Dennis not it's supposed to invade a drywall so from now on I'm gonna call this the Dennis hole hi Dennis serious thing and cheese all right okay come on back up here and let's see if I can crawl back where I'm supposed to be I could have done so you know I only step on the pieces of wood dentist that is how you're supposed to do it how did you know that um I thought everything not that I would let Dennis have any but blue apron allows you to create delicious chef inspired food at
