this video is brought to you by the gigabyte gtx 960 g1 gaming graphics card featuring fan stop mode with intuitive visual indicator lights and flex display technology to easily connect up to 4 monitors click the link in the description for more information hello everyone I've decided to do kind of a quick impromptu vlog for today and the reason for that is right over there the reason it's not my Panasonic image app for my lx100 even though that is pretty sweet whoo crazy all right now the reason is this this box right here see this box this box came all the way from Slovenia and inside is delicious wonderful fantastical goodness from ek but the problem is I really can't even touch that today I can't because because I have other things to do that's the problem by the way this video is brought to you by the Pulsar Burnett pulsar Burnett the doorway to the pulse hardware store where you can buy shirts just like this one anyway moving on the other reason I might do a vlog is to show you a video of nori say hi to the camera no she's coy she's shy she's petulant over here though I have yet another project going I kind of started this off last night although I still have much more to do I have two systems I'm working on the first one is a little nook right there I'm gonna put that out in the garage to help operate the teleprompter and also to handle a couple of the video screens out there other than that I also have this system over here this is formerly my wife's system before the the system that she has right now we handed this one down to her father who has been using it it has a Asus p5 nd motherboard and a Core 2 Duo in there it's still very nice little system and it was also running an SSD which made it pretty decently fast the thing about it though is that the point of failure which yes was the SSD can you guess which 100 cc vertex - still doing damage to this day I probably shouldn't have trusted it for as long as I did anyway that's getting replaced with another new SSD but I need to this is dusty need to reinstall windows 7 on that I got that going and it up and then once those are finished I also have this little guy to work on which is the giveaway system the the silent build I just need to do a refresh of the operating system and a clean and depending on when you watch this video the the giveaway is either almost over you might still be able to enter or it's probably just about over so check my Twitter I'm sure I'll be announcing the winner but even all that is just distraction know I have a larger duty to take care of and what know that that came out totally wrong so in here we've got part of the solution to the problem which I haven't told you what it is yet this is a tp-link gigabit switch right switches be trippin ok so there's a port a port gigabit switch that's going to be the center of my garage network or at least my wired garage network and I've got this awesome length of a hundred feet of cat6 cable this is from monoprice that was only like 14 bucks 100 feet of it nice deal I was gonna buy a spool but that was just a good deal so I went for that anyway the internet comes in over here and my routers right here and I've been running a cable all the way across the floor here out to the garage and my wife's not too keen on that but I do need wired network in the garage I've decided so I'm afraid for the next step though because the only way to get it out to the garage just go up into the attic I'm gonna start from down here and good stool this is good lord oh hello the nearest hangman are and zabrze heck's Illidan do you think we ready for the cat 6 cable you are not prepared hey here's my point of entry I might need to widen that a little bit by special widening scissors these are approved for this type of work because they were closer than going on to the garage for a real tool it's just just the tip all that it's almost oh oh you get it right okay Chris you gotta have a proper headgear for this type of excursion I think do you think the red wish me luck nari she loves the camera doesn't she all right so we got plenty of cable lengths going on down here lots of cat6 - all right latter time that's like another world up here was really it was really stupid of me actually was it's it's like almost noon now and I really should have done this at about like 8:00 a.m. because it's already getting really warm up here ah as you can see the benefit of the bright orange cable here very very easy to spot so so I pull it up here and then the garage is down there at the other end then I got a I got dad just got a poke it through never tried to navigate the Attic with a camera before Oh lovely cobwebs all right they say that drywall there is the garage ah that's daylight I see daylight there we go oh okay they have a little sway I think I got the cable mostly good to go it's coming through down there and then comes down right out here I'm going to run this back I end all this stuff and it will plug into the router this is also why it's nice to have different colored ethernet cables tell what's going where this router by the way is an asus RT and five six you by the way and yes the firmware is updated meanwhile out in the garage oh okay so here's the set and whatnot and cluttered as usual but back here the inside of the garage has finished drywalled and insulated but I'm still not totally clean as you can probably see but I here's where the cable came through and I could just run this across the floor since I do that plenty cable down here and they have more that I pushed up into the attic but I think what I'm gonna do is a temporary solution to go across top of the wall here I think we are nearly finished with today's or at least this little project so I have the cable kind of looped up up there and please ignore how I have my my light mounted that's totally professional and totally up to standards oh oh hello EVGA x99 classified it's so boisterous when it boots up I look there's me and my mana price 4k monitor it's very glossy okay but um on the show cables coming down right here got the switch all set up and and I guess I can just start plugging things in oh okay you know the lights so we have a light that's good good sign and then oh I have a little I got a little shorty cable here to actually connect the test bed and make sure that's working all right we got lights going on everywhere it looks like we have internet no tada I don't know yes connected doop to do hey we have internet it is connected look there's my channel alright now if I was uh if I had nothing better to do I would totally go and start unboxing that water clean stuff but I should probably edit this video and get it up so you guys can actually see it in some sort of timely fashion I'm probably also gonna wrap reroute that orange cable but stay tuned because coming up next time on Paul's hardware I'm going to be continuing on my epic build right here which doesn't look much different from last time you saw it but I have that water cooling stuff so I'm gonna go over the water cooling stuff I'm actually gonna at least maybe drop in those radiators and kind of see how things are lining up to plan out the tubing pathway and stuff my tempered glass piece is on its way so there's also going to be a mod project on the side panel and lots of other exciting things too so thank you for watching today's random vlog video I hope you enjoyed it and maybe learned a little bit about climbing through your attic to plug in cables and extend your network I could have probably gone with like some kind of power line solution but I I just I can't I just totally prefer the wired category five over now category six solution but don't forget to like this video don't forget to subscribe so you can see all those videos I was mentioned and head over to my website or my store check that out I've got some t-shirts there for sale you can buy those or you can just click on my amazon link in this video's description and you can buy stuff through that and that also helps me out too thank you so much for watching guys and we'll see you all in the next video you
