one number two of the ultimate gaming PC project now if you missed episode one you should go check it out I'll drop a link down in the description but I'll give you a quick recap right here as well we are raising five thousand dollars in order to put together the ultimate gaming PC and at the end of it after it's all done it's going to be given back to the community in the form of a giveaway so very exciting and unusual project right here on unbox therapy up until this point we've raised three thousand two hundred and thirty five dollars I'm staring at that amount right now there are 24 days left on the campaign so lots of time to get up to our goal and I want to use this opportunity to go over some of the perks with you guys for those of you unaware of how the site works those of you with questions I've had a lot of questions about the campaign and so I'm gonna use this episode of unboxed era P right here to go over some of that stuff with you guys so first things first you have a number of perks available a number of different ways that you can contribute to the project you've got to go to IndieGoGo comm slash unbox therapy that link is going to be available to you in the annotations of this video as well as down in the description but if you're watching on a platform where you can't see the description right now then just remember it's indiegogo.com slash unbox therapy so once you get to that page you're going to be greeted with my beautiful face or ugly face depending on your perspective and you'll see our our funding goal on the right hand side along with the contributions up until this point and as you scroll down you'll see the different perks available to you now the basic perk the easiest way to get involved in the project is the perk that's $5 it's called the price of admission and that $5 perk is just going to get you involved it's the simplest way and the most affordable way to be involved as you can see 18 people have currently claimed that perk as you move along the list you've got a $15 perk called the silver contributor at this level here you're going to have your YouTube channel or name featured in the credits section of the ultimate gaming PC build videos whoo when the official build video comes out after I've purchased and unboxed all of these different components then your name and youtube channel is going to be featured at the end of it for eternity the $25 spot there's two $25 spots one of them is called the gold contributor now 14 out of 15 potential slots have been purchased at this point so if you are interested in this perk you have a limited amount of time to pick yours up there are 15 spots total that were available it'll allow you to have your channel featured in my other cool channel section right on my youtube channel page which as you guys know gets a significant amount of traffic so on the right hand side of my youtube channel page there's going to be a section called other cool channels and you have the ability to get yours featured in there for $25 this also acts as your contribution into the ultimate gaming PC project so you get a little something you give a little something as I said before 14 out of 15 of these spots have been claimed so there's only one left for the gold contributor level you also get your name in the credits of the official build video as a gold contributor the other $25 perk available this has been a very popular one in it it's pretty new the newest perk that I've added it is the first edition need therapy t-shirt now there are only 50 of these t-shirts available in the first edition the first run that I'm gonna do and after that I don't know what will happen with the design I might make more in the future but for now this is all I'm going to do and out of those 50 shirts 23 have already been claimed and the campaign has only been open for six days so a $25 contribution not only gets you the shirt plus shipping in North America but it also gets you a contribution into the project so you can help out and get a pretty cool shirt if you guys want to check out the shirt it's under the gallery tab on the project and you guys can get a closer look as you'll see the front of the shirt says I need therapy the back of the shirt says unbox there because that's the type of therapy you need and I think it's a pretty funny sort of tongue-in-cheek a little joke there people are gonna ask you what are you talking about you're gonna say it's unbox therapy how can you not know about the hot show on YouTube right now I'm just kidding with you guys then you get up to some higher-level perks that are also available on the campaign $100 platinum contributor perk gets you a one-on-one session with me for an hour on skype where I can go over your channel with you your YouTube channel and give you some tips and tricks I can also give you a one-on-one tour of my production area where I can show you how I shoot the equipment that I use things like that five out of ten spots have been claimed at that particular price point and on top of that you'll be listed as well in the official billed video as a platinum level contributor and then there's some really big contributions below that which have some special perks as well but that gives you a basic idea of how the site works the site accepts both credit card and PayPal so there's a lot of ways to contribute and I'm really excited to get started to start buying components you know that I'm going to be featuring independently on the channel as components get compiled components compiled I'm gonna be unboxing those and keeping you guys up to date you're gonna get the full details on each component as it arrives in my house and you're gonna be able to follow the project as we get up to the official build video and giveaway so a lot of excitement a lot of content to watch you get a lot of value for your money and if you think about it your $5 contribution wouldn't even get you in to see a movie and yet you're gonna get probably at least 15 videos total I would guess around there for your contribution into this project here and as I said before there are other options available there for you now some questions that have been asked regarding the project people have been asking about t-shirt sizes for those people interested in and teeth in a t-shirt contribution or the t-shirt perk I should say don't worry about sizes for now what's gonna happen is at the end of the campaign I'm just gonna send a mass email out to all the contributors at the t-shirt level perk and I'll be asking for sizes at that point make sure your shipping details are correct because that's gonna be too much information to exchange you can put your shipping details directly into IndieGoGo when following through with that particular perk purchase so make sure the address is correct but for sizing I'm gonna get that from you later if you're wondering what kind of sizing is available I've been talking to some different t-shirt fulfillment companies and we're gonna be able to have everything from very very small to very very big so don't worry about sizing for now what other questions have been asked some people have been saying listen I don't have a credit card for you PayPal is an option as I mentioned before PayPal does give you the ability to connect a debit card to your account so if that's your only option you can definitely do that and then lastly guys I want to say if for whatever reason you can't contribute to the project if it's just not a possibility for you for whatever reason doesn't matter then the next best thing you can do is share this particular project you could like favorite these videos just like this one right here this is episode number two like favorite and share every video in the ultimate gaming PC project leading up to funding because that can at least help get the word out and maybe help us find other contributors that can help us get to that goal now the reason I'm so concerned about the goal is not because I'm gonna personally benefit anymore like I said before this this PC is going right back to you guys but because I think from an entertainment perspective the more money we're working with the more ultimate this PC will will be and therefore the more people are going to want to watch the content that gets made during this particular build and every independent unboxing as you guys know some of these graphics cards are not cheap today by today's standards so we're probably going to need the full budget to make something that's going to be you know completely impressive so consider that when you're considering your own contribution to the project so that's about it for today guys that's just a quick update this is the ultimate gaming PC project episode 2 hopefully by episode 3 we'll be even closer to that funding goal of 5 grand and as I said before if you haven't visited the page yet links are in the description as well as up in the annotation so you can go and check it out for yourself and I want to give a huge shout out and a huge thanks to everybody

shout out to you Gary for taking a huge stake in this project and I'm gonna be communicating with him very often on some different component decisions etc that's part of that particular perk that he
