Completing the Tech YES SETUP - How to DIY Your Own Gaming Setup

2018-03-16
so today behind me is a little bit of a special day because we're gonna be making some progress on the development of this studio and you see the two monitors here hopefully we're gonna be wall mounting these today because I've got the right height I was using these Corsair boxes on a pouch playing cooler and that was mainly just because I wanted to try before I buy a kind of thing and I recommend doing the same if you guys are using monitors make sure they're the right height otherwise you'll be getting headaches like all the time if your monitors too low and you're looking down all the time so want to get the right height and I think we have that is the perfect height at the moment away from the desk so it goes to show that usually monitor stands are not high enough but let's get back to it so this desk here behind me is gonna get cleaned off because we've actually got to treat the wood as well this wood here is untreated so we're gonna treat it with some polyurethane and we're also gonna be mounting some floating shelves up the top here just sort of fill out these walls and also behind me here is the streaming desk which I'll talk a little bit about later as well there's still a few little decorations that have to go up here and we're also still waiting on some products to come through for that before we can finish it off and also start streaming for you guys well with all that aside let's start building this city up so now here we've cleared out all these desks here we've got the shelves ready so this first shelf is gonna come about 90 mil a 900 mil sorry I get all my things confused here but it's gonna come 900 mil off that's gonna be the one that's going one point two meters horizontally and then up in the corner that we're gonna put a 900 and also another 900 on this side that gives us options as well to put two six hundreds above later on to sort of make it a little bit more sophisticated and then on this side we're gonna mount two and we're still gonna figure out how we're gonna do this we're gonna do this wall first then we have to figure out how to do this one because of this windows seal here does make it difficult to mount these floating shelves basically with their pre-installed brackets not running the spin of the window so we just got the first floating shelf installed is actually pretty easy and it is looking pressed Dino so there is the shelving there instead of going over the window we decided what if we just stack the shelving like that and it actually turned out really good so there's the floating shelves now and that is stage one done so we're getting at the monitor arms now mounted over here the wall mount monitor arms and then we're gonna try and install the sound tiles because we kind of want to get all this done in one go because we're gonna be actually putting some sealant on this wood too to protect that so yeah all right so we finally have the monitors mounted to the wall and that was a big pain in the ass because we had to get the top flush and so basically these monitors aren't height adjustable these monitor stands so we had to drill holes in the vase amount at the second one to get it flush at the top otherwise yeah it would just wasn't flashing or sending me OCD the speaker on the bottom there we've got that mounted so now we're just got to deal with a cable management but we're gonna use the sound tiles now to raise them just above this the sockets here and that'll be able to cover like the cables go into the computer so you won't actually see any cables and of course it will give the benefit of giving a sound deadening as well in the studio and we've also decided to add a 60 mil shelf up the top there so I gave that a nickname as well so yeah now it's time finally to sand back this table and then give it a protective coating so we just finished cleaning up the desks and there's all the alcohol wipes man I didn't realize there was that much dirt that came off I mean keep in mind we did send it back but we use the alcohol wipes and they just dry so quickly so it's pretty much ready now for the coat of polyurethane so wipe-on poly we're ready to go there it is that's the final stage of clearing off this wood and making it look awesome but also giving it a protective layer so it doesn't get stained have to give this at least 12 hours they do recommend 24-bit Australia's a pretty dry country so we should get away after I wake up from sleeping it should be almost done so now we've got everything going on here and the shelves are all up and all so I'm just gonna go hit up the gym I know it's like 10:30 at night but still gonna keep that health up got to keep on that grind so I don't know should I take the camera to the gym maybe there might be no one there so let's do a workout so we just got back from the gym and it's close to midnight now and I'm really tired but health is something that I don't really talk about here on the channel and actually a lot of tech tubers don't really talk about health but it's something that's so important to stay on top of your game you know I go to the gym like two three times a week and I've been doing that for over a year now and I feel great and I'm not gonna stop doing that because you sleep more efficiently you just got more energy just gives you that energy to win but if you guys want I can go through the full yes-men regiment the diet the exercises the time I spend on computers and how I spend most my day doing this YouTube gig and still remaining on top of that game brothers so if you guys want to see that let me know in the comment section and I'll make it happen but I'm gonna crash out now and we'll get back into the studio in the morning so it's now the morning after and I'm ready to start doing some cable management and I've also got to go out and pick up a few things like a three-meter DisplayPort cable for that monitor over there a few other cables maybe some extension leads as well and yeah just start really cleaning up this cable management and making the rig look tidy maybe even put a hole in the desk for the keyboard so we just got back now and all the goodies here we've got 25 centimeter cat cables that's for the wall from the switch to the wall and then we've got some little pins here this is to stick into the walls the decorations that are going up there and we'll do that Britt Lee Seun and Sam here with that and also got a spirit level included so only two dolls fifty so that was pretty good deal double-sided tape for the sound tiles we've already cardboard attached them to the actual tiles themselves earmuffs for when I'm doing the using the data back because some reason it just hurts my ears and I get a little bit of tinnitus after it so dad man approved he always loves using ear muffs so he actually recommended I get them so and then we've got here cable management as well HEPA different stuff for cable management so we've still got a lot of things to do here but it's gonna come along nicely I think so here's the wall here it's all complete and I mean who needs a level when you can just eyeball it maybe I should have used the level but it looks pretty straight to me so we've got up the top right-hand corner here the motherboard now that motherboards iconic because that was the first like motherboard that began the whole used PC parts hassle thing it was actually broken but it came with a q9 550 Intel quad core duo and so I was just I was stoked when I got that CPU 20 dollars so I was in the forty dollar PC parts flog and then below that we've got the play button there and then we've got two graphs cards ones in video and the others in AMD cards so I'll think about painting it red and green but you know opposite colors but I was like now because it actually goes really well with the wall so also cut myself as well while I was installing that motherboard it's the hole puncher slipped my finger slipped and then hit those little pins does hurt a bit but that's not gonna stop us from getting all this done now so there is the sound tiles all in and they're covering up those monitor cables as well both the power and the display cables so we've got the server's there as well I got the 25 centimeter cables they're just looking really clean we're gonna do a cable management in a second and clean this up but we've still got a few more sound tiles to do there's another three sound tiles so we literally have the perfect amount just there I just got to go down to get some double-sided tape but I do want to set up my computer quickly and just sort of piece things out in case I need to get some other stuff as well while I'm out so now we've completed the first stage of the check yes setup and this now is the benchmark setup I was going to start looking at this and sort of prepping it but this monitor here actually doesn't have a VESA mount stand on the back I believe it does come with like an adaptable kit but it's a lot of trouble so not to worry as Zeus sent over there actually 35 V so unexpectedly I just had both these ultra whites here and I thought I would compare them one is 34 inches the other is 35 inches and so the Zeus does have an extra 20 mil on the bottom so it does have 20 mil more a height and then on the horizontal it does have eight hundred thirty members 805 so it is a little bit bigger that 35 inches definitely giving you just that little bit more viewing area so when I do the review on that I will be giving it a little bit of a comparison versus Samsung because that is a very popular ultrawide monitor and we'll see how this fits and I've still actually got to review the review sonic as well so I don't know what it is this month must be the month of the monitor so now here's the stream setup I'll take you guys through a little bit of a tour there are still some little final touches I have to do for instance I do have to get a micro HDMI adapter for my Panasonic g7 I'm also waiting in the mail on an AC adapter for it too so once that comes through I'll be able to actually stream from that camera give you guys DSLR quality in a live stream but here's a look a little look at the setup what its gonna be like so I'm gonna be sitting from this angle point of view gonna have a stream deck they're gonna have the keyboard mouse here two monitors as well be able to see the live chat and the feed and the news and then also that monitor there will be the subject monitor too and then that'll be the webcam the hidden webcam for the subject so whoever I'm talking to can see me I'm still waiting also on a mic Kable XLR cable so that can connect it down to the bottom here where all the magic is happening I am a little bit worried about this mini ITX PC I mean it is powering everything off a 100 watt power supply so many USB devices 6co 8432 gigabytes of RAM I hope it can hold up but we'll give it a shot we'll test it out and give it a chance because it would be epic to just have that travel PC actually pulling weight and doing something else around the channel so there it is guys that's the streaming setup let me know what you think of it so here we are now at the end of day 2 and I'm absolutely buggin I'm actually ready to go to bed but behind me is the tech yes set up phase 1 it's complete that's my main editing rig got the 2 wall-mounted monitors they're cracking in the background I'm absolutely in love with this setup I've just visioned it and it's gone the way I planned it to go got all the cable management done and that was pretty easy to do because we hit a lot of those cables behind the PC the err 740 X also bought those dozers from the furniture place they were pretty cheap that like $19 a pop use 3 of them to cover up the cables as behind the rig and under the desk and then also use brought the printer downstairs use that to cover up some cables and the Logitech surround sound 5.1 also wiring some wires under the desk and using some clips to hammer them in so to keep the cables clean and out of sight so all-in-all the first part is just come along so well you guys are probably surprised because before it was just so messy but that's how I generally do things I'm just like look we've got to get the content done and then we'll get onto the pretty stuff later and so now we've got the pretty stuff we'll have to get back to the content anyway guys hope you enjoyed the video if you did then be sure to hit that like button also a big thank you to each and every one of you guys for watching the videos supporting the channel and a big thanks to the patrons as well you guys know where that money's going it's going hold back into this studio baby and we're making this place look like a million bucks and we're doing it on a budget as we always do look at those budget bills they get done on a budget as well and they beat a lot of those computers that are like four or five times the price anyway see you in another tech video very soon let me know in the comment section below what was your favorite part of today's video and I'll probably try to bring a bit more of a back catch in the next one peace out for now bye and here these guys here's the rubbish pile so far just stacking up in the studio all-in-all the first part is just come along so well okay also I forgot to mention I went down the place today to get more double-sided tape and they said they closed at 7:00 p.m. and they actually closed like 5:30 on a budget as we always do baby around here we make those budget so now I'm editing out the video and I did watch the bit with video the last video you guys are messaging me as well and he did do what I hoped he wouldn't do and that was build the cheapest new PC possible and then compare it against literally the most expensive use PC I have not heard someone paying that amount of money for a PC of those specs in the used price performance scene and the only reason I'm making videos and responding to it is because it's misrepresenting use price performance and it's misrepresenting it by a long shot so if you guys want I can make another response video but why not mean we can have a bit of fun but I'll catch you in the next one anyway peace out for now bye
