Upgrading the Giveaway PC and Announcing Winners!

2019-07-18
we've got a lot of stuff to cover in this video and I've got about two days of work ahead of me just involving shipping winners their giveaway items and yeah it's just gonna hurt my wallet this kind of be pretty expensive but nonetheless it's part of the gig and you guys are awesome that's why I want to do this I know that some youtubers don't want to do giveaways very much because people aren't appreciative or don't say thank you I don't care like it would it would help it'd be nice if you said thank you but I'm not giving you something expecting you to say thank you I'm giving you something because I appreciate something you are already doing for me as in being a viewer being a subscriber being a follower on social media so this is a payment to you this is me saying thank you to you not you saying thank you to me I think that's a little backwards and some people said anyway yeah we're gonna get to the to the meat potatoes this one right now if you're rocking the Windows 10 operating system and haven't activated your copy click the link below and purchase an OEM license from s CD key then click here here here and then here paste your activation key and you'll have a fully activated OS in seconds and be sure to use my offer code as studio for an 18 percent discount on your order so last night was awesome I'm still a little exhausted from that one I didn't expect it to be as big as it was we had up to 2400 concurrent viewers at peak which is the most we've ever had for a live stream on the channel I appreciate all of you for stopping by and look I know a large part of that had to do with the fact we were giving away like 18 things but it was the biggest giveaway we've ever done and that was due in large part to a new egg and their agreement to send us $2,000 worth of basically gift cards to giveaway so what I'm gonna do for those who live in the u.s. is I'm going to ship from my own new egg account us winners they're products that they won on the stream and then if you live in another country where new egg services you maybe it's like the UK or France or Germany and there are several countries elsewhere as well not just Europe and in North America as long as your country is listed in that link that I posted up top and that video description click the video here if you're interested in any of that stuff then you're still eligible to win I haven't confirmed yet that everyone is in those countries there's like 18 winners again but once I get your addresses I will follow up and make sure that everyone is good to go if someone is not in a country where they can be shipped something then we'll redraw that winner but anyway you should have gotten emails if you won you should have gotten one from me already again I know your email because you had to enter it when you enter the raffle so that's the first bit of business I wanted to cover second of all we've got to do a bit of upgrading for our giveaway PC the gigabyte and enter Mac sponsored a PC that we built in this video right here is getting a small upgrade I really shouldn't say small because it's gonna make this PC look miles better in my opinion we're gonna throw some custom cables from cable mod in there these are just extensions now you could get full sleeve kits for compatible PS use but I decided to that Carly laughs I decided to get these here because these will be compatible with really any unit and yeah so they're gonna be cheaper that's an upside these are the pro sleeve cables it looks like they have the the metal combs here and they're just they're really nice I use cable mod custom cables custom Pro cables in particular for pretty much all of my personal builds and just make they just make your system look so much better so if you have some cash to spare I have linked the kala mod configurator down below you can create a custom sleeve kit for yourself for your own power supply you can get extensions or full sleeve kits that plug directly into your unit either way it's worth a look at least if you again have a bit more money in your budget for aesthetics nothing of course increase your frame rate or anything but it's gonna make your system look a lot better so yeah let's get to it let's throw these in the giveaway system and then we'll go ahead and draw the winners for the free giveaways that we announced in that video I pointed to earlier right so we have a gigabyte and enter max sponsored PC giveaway and then we also have the two graphics cards a 90 DTI and the 1080 both of those are boxed up already in my cards got to put little tracking labels on them for whoever happens to win and I will draw those winners in this video so you'll get to see live who is pick when I live but you know I mean I'll film whoever wins as it's happening and then you can see it and if anyone is published anyway that way you know I'm not like cherry-picking obviously the two graphics code of winners will be international meaning they will not be in the lower 48 US if you live in Hawaii or Alaska you're considered international so you have two chances to win and then the u.s. winner will win the big PC all right I'm gonna stop repeating myself here we go let's throw these into our giveaway system so this was my thinking choosing a black and white alternating cable set first off this is like a pre-designed scheme here so you can find this exact like color scheme we're just alternates black and white on cable mods website usually get these shipped a little quicker as well because they are already kind of like pre set up this way but I think that this color scheme will complement the build nicely you can see there's quite a bit of white in the system including the case which is almost totally white and then we also do have some black components like the motherboard like the you know USB 3 cable the vertical GPU bracket we've got there so there's still some black in the system and I think this will set everything off and help it all blend nicely so that's my justification I don't expect everyone's gonna be totally satisfied with that but you can't please everybody on the internet so now anyway felt like I had to say that I have to justify my decision and that's totally fine so we're gonna remove this and start swapping them cables so really for extensions the shorter the extensions the better as long as you have enough of the cabling to reach the destination without some of the PSU cabling showing and that it should be fine probably could have gone with a shorter extension here but I wanted to be more on the safe side and there we go so that's the 24 pin already looking significantly better in my opinion now as for the graphics card it's gonna be a bit tougher to hash this one out cuz we do have that USB pre cable right in the way same deal just it around connect it like so try to get these combs to line up so that that's the best I could do of course you want to get this propped up when we tie everything to the back it should straighten up nicely but that's kind of what its gonna look like and this is just a consequence of going with a vertical bracket but I totally I mean to me this is a very mild compromise for a system that has this card turned sideways in it just gonna look really nice so yeah one more set of cables that's for the 8 pin EPS up top now one thing I totally forgot it's my fault no one else's I forgot that this motherboard has an 8 pin plus an extra 4 pin for CPU power and that's really only necessary when you're doing some heavy overclocking but like I'm using my not 100k in my personal rig with just a single 8 pin that board actually has 2 8 pins on it and I only connected one of the 8 pins and I still get similar boost frequencies with MCE enabled so you're not gonna miss much in the way performing it's gonna look a little weird if you have this exposed but you can't even really tell that there's an extra 4 pin here you can connect the 4 pin I still have that cable it's just the black stop cable in the system but I'm gonna leave it disconnected for now just so doesn't look super tacky you can do whatever you want if you win all right so that's it and give a couple shots from far back here you can see how nice it looks I really think these cables are just the icing on the cake for this rig and now we're going to give it away and alright now it's time to pick the winners and you guys have been waiting for this part of the video I understand we have about thirty 2127 entries there were a few ways to enter including following me on Twitter and also following animatics and gigabyte I believe and also YouTube subscriptions like it's something else out of it and now we're gonna pick the winner so the way we do that is with this winners time here and we have draw winners so I just click this button and it will pick a winner for us and I'm gonna show you on the camera and on screen so you know that I'm not messing around here or redrawing or anything like that limit entries by day doesn't matter winners to draw we're just drawing one winner one winner one winners unpicked with ten thousand fifty potential users that can win here we go and the winner is Tom Schuster just Chester Tom Chester I have no idea if that's how you say your last name I apologize but you are a resident of Laurens New Jersey I'm gonna blur out your email and your other info your picture and stuff Tom so that your identity is somewhat concealed here and you won for following gigabyte USA on Twitter so congratulations you just won yourself it I mean this is over a thousand dollars worth of PC hardware here and it's gonna be all assembled for you ready to go you can do whatever you want with it I don't care you can sell it you can use it yourself give it to a friend doesn't matter to me fact is you won by doing something here by following gigabyte that was the action that won your this congratulations alright so now I have pic I open and we're going to draw the two graphics card giveaway winners so of the 30 591 entries 30 428 of those people are following science video whitey which I said in the video was a requirements eye candy and me so we're gonna click final draw and see what it does and a winner is Miss Fiji Ouija and this looks like an active account miss Fiji we G wherever you live long as I can ship this to you you just won yourself the GTX 1080 right so there is no website out there that will scrape shares of a Facebook post you can do it for lights and comments but what I asked you guys to do with share and it wouldn't be fair to just scrape the comments and there's no API I could write my own script to scrape this stuff but I'm not the best coder in fact I am not in the position to even set one of these up and be confident that it's choosing someone at random so what I've done here I've literally got like it's still loading but I'm I'm loading up pretty much every single share we have here on the post we have 2200 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 so 2215 i'm going to go to google open up a random number generator and we're gonna do minimum is 1 maximum is 2215 and we're gonna have a pick a random them I'm really hoping this isn't close to the bottom because that would suck to count 448 okay that's not bad so I'm gonna stick with number 448 and I'm gonna count down that many names which is going to take a long time and and then I'll tell you who it is so it's gonna be someone international like I said this was an international only giveaway so yeah I'm not good you know like cherry-pick a u.s. winner or whatever I get accused of doing when a u.s. winner wins something so here we go 448 this is yeah I'll be here a while 248 262 look how long it takes now to load three names 384 432 444 there's no sellers oh cool well alright this is this is boring 447 okay this next person wins for 48 that's our number Gilbert not human nothing uh Keemun d-zone think it tight you say it Gilbert you're the winner Darren you were really cool a hosts razor Cruz you were really close but Gilbert here according to our random generator is the winner and look folks this is totally fair in my opinion I entered the exact number of shares the number could have been one the number could have been 22 15 it's a random generator that's the point and I literally had counted 448 names - the few shares from we did have like enter max share I didn't count that share we had a few people who like shared twice to get I guess double entry I didn't count the second share so that's what you know allowed me to get to this person being 448 and so yeah congratulations Gilbert you have just won what is it a gtx 980ti so awesome it's a good card great card around 1070 performance little higher power draw it's still gonna be able to rock games in 1080p in 1440p without a hitch alright folks so just to confirm who won what and to confirm their countries of residence that was important the two winners that were supposed to enter as internationals were in fact internationals they were not residents of the lower 48 u.s. so that's great our twitter winner the one that GT x 1080 lives in canada and the winner of the 980ti lives in the philippines so yeah that's that's gonna be pretty expensive shipment but good thing is I mean it's a small thing right that's why I decided to do graphics cards for the intern at international giveaways and then also Tong Chester is just Chester Chester that sounds I think it's outside he won the the gigabyte ni max PC and that's sitting a course right there on the desk and he is a resident of New Jersey so he was eligible to win and I appreciate you guys for the vast majority of you who followed the rules and entered where you were supposed to enter way it makes it fair for all of us I hope you guys are not discouraged if you didn't want anything there's still plenty more to be given away in the future we just did like what 18 giveaways yesterday again we just announced three more giveaway winners today and we're gonna have more stuff going on here very soon so stay tuned for that but thank you once again to the companies involved in making this giveaway possible particularly gigabyte and enter max and then also cave them out for spicing things up a bit and thanks to all of you for making this channel the success that it is and I hope in the future we'll be able to do more things like this so just keep watching video so that's all that's all I can really ask of you and we'll be keep doing what we're doing here if you guys like the video thumbs
