[0:00] Here I am in Taipei again, which means
[0:02] it's time to head to the tech mall,
[0:04] where 2 years ago I pretended to be a
[0:05] regular customer and bought a $5,000 PC
[0:08] to give away. And where last year I had
[0:10] three shops compete to design the best
[0:12] $12,000 PC. I gave that away, too. But
[0:15] this time's different. This time I'm
[0:17] here to work.
[0:18] >> Hello.
[0:19] >> [laughter]
[0:19] >> All right, boss.
[0:21] What can I do for you?
[0:23] >> How about you help me to build this
[0:25] thing over here?
[0:26] >> Oh.
[0:27] >> water block?
[0:27] >> Immediately right into a water-cooled
[0:29] system. All right, brilliant. I was
[0:31] going to tell him, "Don't go easy on
[0:32] me." And I can see that was not ever
[0:35] going to be part of the plan. Oh,
[0:36] there's customers already. I need like a
[0:38] training badge or something.
[0:40] >> Yeah, I was looking into a new like
[0:42] Excuse me, hi.
[0:44] >> Linus knows he'll be working a full
[0:46] regular shift at the mall, 1:00 p.m. to
[0:48] 9:00 p.m., doing everything the shop
[0:51] normally does, troubleshooting,
[0:52] building, and repairing computers. But
[0:55] what he doesn't know is that one of the
[0:57] customers is himself. I'm secretly
[1:00] placing a rush order that must be done
[1:02] today. Why? Because it wouldn't really
[1:04] be a tech mall video if we didn't give
[1:07] away a system, would it? I'll be popping
[1:09] in the video periodically to give you
[1:11] guys updates on how it's going on that
[1:13] end because, well,
[1:15] he has no idea. Bye-bye.
[1:18] >> So two of these and one of those is 4110
[1:21] in TD.
[1:21] >> TL140 Reverb in white, right?
[1:25] >> Oh, white? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry,
[1:27] white.
[1:29] In white, yes.
[1:30] >> Okay.
[1:31] >> Okay, just snap a picture so you know
[1:32] the price.
[1:33] Okay, brilliant. Okay.
[1:35] >> I really want these ones, so
[1:37] I was also trying to look for something
[1:39] like this. Can you
[1:42] >> Look at that, a Segway.
[1:44] To our sponsor.
[1:45] All right, get out of here.

[2:41] description to browse all that we've got
[2:42] on sale before it's too late.
[2:45] >> Sorry, I'm new here. I'm looking to get
[2:47] a new motherboard or a CPU because my
[2:49] build right now, like after I let it sit
[2:51] there and I try to open Windows or try
[2:53] to open Chrome, it'll start becoming
[2:54] really laggy and I can't use it and I
[2:56] have to restart the whole PC.
[2:57] >> So, what I would do before you upgrade
[3:00] anything,
[3:01] maybe I'm a bad employee,
[3:03] is update your BIOS.
[3:05] And then, if that doesn't help, then
[3:07] what I would probably do is go in and
[3:09] turn off any power saving. But, if
[3:11] you're not comfortable doing that, uh do
[3:13] we fix computers?
[3:15] Yeah, we then we also fix computers.
[3:17] Okay.
[3:18] >> do the wiring cuz my wiring's kind of
[3:19] messed up?
[3:20] >> Hey boss, do we do cable management?
[3:22] >> Of course.
[3:22] >> Okay, I'll I'll bring my PC back here.
[3:24] >> Okay.
[3:25] >> Yeah, thank you.
[3:26] >> This is Dude, this
[3:28] this is crazy. There's already a lineup.
[3:30] >> So, when the last time you do the water
[3:32] block?
[3:32] >> Oh, like maybe a few months ago.
[3:34] >> I thought it was about 13 years.
[3:36] >> No, no, no, no. No, it was 13 years
[3:38] since my first day on a new job. Yeah.
[3:40] No, no, no, I know I know how to water
[3:42] cool. It's okay. Gaming chairs, they're
[3:44] uh they're they're bulky. Never taken
[3:46] apart this card before. Big Sky, do they
[3:48] include new thermal pads or do I need
[3:52] >> Yes, they do.
[3:52] >> Yeah, they do? Okay, so I'm going to put
[3:54] all these back on here then, okay?
[3:56] >> Yep.
[3:56] >> Is that what you normally do?
[3:57] >> Yep.
[3:58] >> Yeah, okay, perfect. Oh yeah, no, I know
[3:59] that because I reviewed your system.
[4:01] Yeah, okay. I'm going to put this on, so
[4:03] hopefully people are patient with me.
[4:05] >> Uh I got a text that my customer's a
[4:07] graphic card is back, so if it's okay
[4:09] that you
[4:10] be here in yourself about half hour?
[4:12] >> What?
[4:12] >> Be strong.
[4:13] >> Okay.
[4:15] >> I've been [clears throat] trained for 15
[4:16] minutes.
[4:17] >> The stock backplate had a pad for the
[4:18] 12-volt connector, but Vic's key didn't
[4:20] include any pads that are the right size
[4:22] to reach theirs, so I stacked up three.
[4:26] Better than nothing.
[4:27] However, I don't like that I can see
[4:29] that.
[4:30] Should I answer the phone?
[4:32] Oh, too late. Add employee. Oh, oh yeah,
[4:35] oh the phone was ringing. Okay, I've
[4:37] done my first job. I put a thermal pad
[4:39] here. I It's a little bit ugly, but the
[4:42] stock backplate had a thermal pad there.
[4:44] >> It's fine, it will stand straight, so
[4:46] you won't see it.
[4:46] >> See, I knew he wouldn't want to see it.
[4:48] >> [laughter]
[4:49] >> Okay, I can try put it in the system, I
[4:51] think.
[4:52] >> Sure. Is this a new build?
[4:53] >> Yep.
[4:54] >> Can I get the RAM?
[4:56] >> Oh, the most interesting thing.
[4:58] >> Sorry, what am I looking at? Dude,
[5:00] bougie RAM is on a whole other level
[5:03] now.
[5:04] >> The triple fan on the RAM, too.
[5:06] >> Yeah, wow. All right, time to assemble
[5:09] my RAM.
[5:12] >> So, this is my PC.
[5:13] >> I'll see if I can figure out the
[5:14] throttling issue, and then if it's not
[5:16] solved, then we'll message you and let
[5:18] you know.
[5:18] >> Yeah, okay.
[5:19] >> Okay.
[5:19] >> Thank you.
[5:20] >> Am I doing it okay?
[5:21] >> Yeah, well, this is my first time to see
[5:23] this RAM, too.
[5:24] >> Oh, okay. [laughter]
[5:25] >> A little bit too high, isn't it?
[5:27] >> I mean, I guess we'll find out.
[5:30] >> [laughter]
[5:30] >> And then this one is just no post, not
[5:32] working?
[5:32] >> Yes.
[5:33] >> Okay, we will respond to you once we can
[5:36] have a look.
[5:37] Okay, there are many factors of, you
[5:40] know, actually working in a tech shop
[5:42] that I have not thought about. How do we
[5:44] keep track of like the priority
[5:46] sequence?
[5:47] Now, at this point, I'm trying to put my
[5:49] order in without getting caught. So, it
[5:52] can't come from a Canadian number, and
[5:54] ideally it's in Chinese. So, we reached
[5:56] out to some local legends. Shout out
[5:58] Caleb for sliding into the DMs. But, I'm
[6:00] just praying that our order is not too
[6:03] far back in the queue for us to get
[6:04] serviced.
[6:05] >> I think at least that ROG one, I don't
[6:07] think there's anything wrong with it cuz
[6:08] they the 24-pin is out.
[6:10] >> Uh-huh.
[6:11] >> So, what Why is it not working? I don't
[6:13] know. Maybe cuz not plugged in.
[6:14] >> Yeah.
[6:16] >> Well, we'll see.
[6:17] >> What can I do for you, sir?
[6:18] >> I would like one full plain exclusive
[6:19] for this video.
[6:20] >> Oh, I'm I'm sure there's going to be at
[6:22] least one with all the stuff we're doing
[6:23] today.
[6:25] >> [snorts]
[6:25] >> lmg.gg/blueplain
[6:28] Oh hi.
[6:28] >> I'm back.
[6:29] >> Oh, hi. What can I do for you? I I
[6:31] forget.
[6:31] >> Do some cable management.
[6:33] >> You want to do cable management?
[6:34] >> cuz it's it's actually really messy in
[6:36] there.
[6:36] >> Yeah.
[6:37] >> Yeah.
[6:37] >> You sound tired.
[6:39] >> It's pretty heavy.
[6:39] >> Did you run the whole way or?
[6:40] >> No, it's just pretty heavy.
[6:41] >> Oh, okay. Got it. Oh, you still have the
[6:43] peel on the back of your motherboard.
[6:44] Did you build this yourself?
[6:45] >> Oh, yeah.
[6:47] >> I haven't seen how bad the cable
[6:48] management is yet, man.
[6:49] >> It's pretty horrible. To make the color
[6:51] look like all the same.
[6:53] >> Oh, oh good. RGB software config.
[6:56] >> We got Gigabyte's uh we got Armory
[6:59] Crate, and even the AIO is a different
[7:02] for that. It's just everywhere.
[7:04] >> Oh, good.
[7:06] >> So, what's the problem with this one?
[7:07] >> I'd say maybe he just doesn't have Expo
[7:09] enabled, and so it's just a little bit
[7:10] slow right now.
[7:11] >> This RAM very slow.
[7:13] >> Oh, okay. So, he's not making this one
[7:16] up. Expo's enabled, too. What? 5600
[7:18] CL46?
[7:19] >> Well, that's way too slow. That's an
[7:21] Expo profile?
[7:22] >> CPU's temperature looks fine. It's only
[7:25] Yeah 30°.
[7:26] >> Maybe BIOS flash, and we go from there?
[7:27] >> Yep.
[7:28] >> That is slow ass memory. This is cool.
[7:31] It's like a triple fan thing. Is this
[7:33] from Jonsbo?
[7:34] >> Yep.
[7:34] >> Man, that's awesome. Busy day so far.
[7:37] I've got my GPU water block installed.
[7:39] I've I've my motherboard and water
[7:41] cooling installed. I've got my first
[7:43] radiator set up with fans. We ran into a
[7:45] small problem where the rad screws are
[7:47] M3, which is correct, obviously, but
[7:49] they're too short for these fans. And
[7:51] these fans come with screws that are the
[7:53] right length, but they're 6-32. So,
[7:56] the boss said, "Hey, I can go get other
[7:58] screws, but I'll be gone for half an
[7:59] hour." I was like, "No, not again." So,
[8:01] I figured out how to get the 6-32 screws
[8:04] in the M3 holes.
[8:07] Okay. Any screw is a self-tapper if you
[8:09] try hard enough.
[8:10] >> How does the boss feel about that?
[8:12] >> Uh
[8:13] >> Would you allow that?
[8:14] >> Well, it works.
[8:16] >> [laughter]
[8:17] >> Hey, boss. Yeah, I think maybe we will
[8:19] take the fan off. That's a good idea.
[8:21] So, new BIOS on here. This seems
[8:24] >> Well, the RAM is still slow.
[8:26] >> I well
[8:26] >> [laughter]
[8:27] >> We can see here, CPU usage 99% 4.83 GHz.
[8:31] Right in line with what we would expect.
[8:33] We're making money. Let's go.
[8:35] >> You may have noticed that Linus hasn't
[8:37] started building our PC yet. And given
[8:39] it's 3:00 p.m., we're starting to get
[8:41] nervous. So, we asked a
[8:42] Mandarin-speaking fan to go in and tell
[8:45] the shopkeeper about our special order
[8:47] and make sure Linus finishes it in time.
[8:50] But then the guy just didn't come out.
[8:52] So, now I'm literally sweating. He's
[8:54] been there 10 minutes.
[8:56] >> But eventually, he emerged. Our man got
[8:58] it done.
[8:59] Message received.
[9:02] Uh boss texts us about this, so he just
[9:04] sent you an update with the frequencies
[9:06] running it over 4 GHz now. Honestly, I
[9:08] could not explain to you why it was in
[9:11] that state. It's running as we would
[9:13] expect now. So, just simple BIOS update
[9:15] and like it's
[9:16] it's responsive now. Feel like I'm
[9:18] playing PC Building Simulator in real
[9:20] life. Enjoy your fixed system.
[9:22] >> Thank you.
[9:23] >> See you later.
[9:23] >> See you.
[9:23] >> Okay. Two for you, two for me, right?
[9:26] >> Okay.
[9:26] >> No, I can't No, [laughter] no, no.
[9:28] He has more water cooling stuff than I
[9:29] do. There's so many blocks.
[9:31] But I think this one's not actually
[9:33] broken. He says no post, but his 24-pin
[9:36] is not connected. I think we found part
[9:39] of your problem right there, sir. It's
[9:41] like on the one hand it's so high-end,
[9:43] but he has like 250 US dollars worth of
[9:46] Noctua fans in here.
[9:48] >> And then like this water blocks.
[9:50] >> This and random random screws.
[9:53] >> I guess I'll try this one.
[9:55] >> Oh, okay. We're trying to figure out if
[9:56] we can get this triple in here. It's
[9:58] pretty tight. Oh, dude, we got it. Right
[10:00] there, we're in.
[10:03] >> [laughter]
[10:03] >> That's tight. It works. Unlike buddy's
[10:06] motherboard over here.
[10:07] >> Yeah, I even put a new power supply on
[10:10] and still doesn't work. Maybe the
[10:12] motherboard [music] is dead.
[10:13] >> Well, we can send him an update then, at
[10:16] least. Hey, your motherboard's dead. Do
[10:17] you want to deal with ASUS for RMA or do
[10:19] you want to buy a new board? That's
[10:20] that's the customer's choice. We offer
[10:22] the customer choice here, okay? At
[10:25] Well, yeah, what's our store called? I
[10:27] don't remember.
[10:27] >> IKYPC. [music]
[10:28] >> Yeah, IKYPC. I'm trying to come up with
[10:30] something like what's IKYPC stand for.
[10:33] The first thing that popped into my mind
[10:34] is like I kill your PC. Probably that's
[10:36] not what it stands for.
[10:38] >> [laughter]
[10:38] >> Right? No, that's not it, right?
[10:39] >> No, it's not.
[10:40] >> This is the customer who asked for cable
[10:42] management help. Honestly, it's not the
[10:44] worst thing I've ever seen. He says
[10:46] sometimes the system shuts down when he
[10:47] bumps it. So, probably some loose
[10:49] connection here somewhere. The radiator
[10:51] is supposed to go here.
[10:54] He's He's got it on the other side.
[10:56] Also, he has two different RGB hubs in
[11:00] here.
[11:00] >> This looks like you have to tear it all
[11:02] apart.
[11:03] >> [laughter]
[11:04] >> Bad news, boss.
[11:06] One out of eight screws
[11:09] snapped off in it.
[11:10] >> You can change it new one. So, that's
[11:12] okay.
[11:12] >> I will be as careful as I can. It worked
[11:15] on the first one and I got three of
[11:16] these.
[11:17] >> We have 20 more after you if you can
[11:19] break it all.
[11:21] >> [laughter]
[11:24] >> You're leaving again?
[11:25] >> Yep. Half hour.
[11:27] Be tough.
[11:29] >> [laughter]
[11:33] >> Dude, I should have this in the first
[11:35] place. Doesn't look factory, but like
[11:37] would you notice?
[11:38] >> Even from 12 in away? No.
[11:40] >> Cool. The question now is what's the
[11:42] bigger risk? Trying to do this three
[11:44] more times or trying to drive these
[11:48] not the right thread screws in three
[11:50] more times. Trying to drive the screws
[11:52] again is definitely faster, so I think
[11:54] we're going to do that. Please work.
[11:56] Please do not snap off.
[11:59] Okay, one down, two to go.
[12:02] I found another problem. I was all
[12:03] excited. I got the screws driven into
[12:05] this stupid thing. Stupid that has to go
[12:08] into this as well. Out comes the
[12:10] radiator, on goes the pump mounting
[12:11] bracket. Do you think he did this on
[12:13] purpose?
[12:14] So that I would have such a challenging
[12:16] build on my first day. This is actually
[12:17] like legitimately not easy. So you have
[12:19] a new problem.
[12:20] The screw is not long enough now to go
[12:23] through here.
[12:23] >> Uh-huh.
[12:24] >> But that's okay. New plan.
[12:26] I'm just going to put it like here.
[12:28] And we'll make four holes. Okay.
[12:30] >> Okay.
[12:30] >> We can try it.
[12:31] >> Okay.
[12:32] >> Screw the hole.
[12:33] >> Yeah.
[12:37] All right. We didn't break it. It's
[12:39] coming together, right? Yep. There's a
[12:41] plan. Tell me something.
[12:43] Did you do this on purpose? Like save a
[12:46] quite challenging build for me to do
[12:47] today? Or
[12:48] >> Well, actually I was doing this this
[12:51] week so
[12:52] >> It's definitely a challenging one.
[12:55] In video production, there are sometimes
[12:57] problems that you can't even conceive
[12:59] of. For example, our PC is being built,
[13:04] but it's being built by the boss. Look,
[13:05] he's even got the RAM in there already.
[13:07] Not Linus. And that's a problem. So we
[13:10] found a second spy to go in and clarify
[13:14] what we're actually after. And this is
[13:17] where the plot almost completely blows
[13:19] up. The boss was confused. He kept
[13:21] trying to switch to English, and Linus
[13:23] started to pay attention to what was
[13:25] happening. So I had to think fast.
[13:27] >> You can ask him. Hello?
[13:30] >> I accept.
[13:31] >> You accept. Go. Thank you.
[13:34] >> Thanks, man.
[13:35] Um
[13:36] >> He basically like taking a picture of
[13:37] you.
[13:38] >> I pointed at the gift bag that the guy
[13:39] was holding and was like, "Oh, you have
[13:42] a gift? I can accept that. Let's go talk
[13:44] outside."
[13:45] >> Okay.
[13:46] >> Are we good?
[13:48] >> No.
[13:48] >> No.
[13:48] >> Uh-huh.
[13:49] >> The boss didn't understand. He thought
[13:51] he was telling him to call off the whole
[13:53] thing.
[13:54] >> Still alive, but we haven't solved the
[13:56] problem. So, now what are we going to
[13:58] do?
[13:59] >> We got a problem, boss. This back plate
[14:02] is so tall. Maybe we use a Dremel.
[14:05] >> Oh, maybe we can we can make [music] the
[14:07] GPU straight.
[14:08] >> Oh, you want like a vertical mount?
[14:09] >> Yeah.
[14:12] >> Last resort, we write a note for the
[14:14] boss and I gave it to Shawn Eberle on
[14:16] the biz team to hand to the guy.
[14:18] >> All right, we'll get another one. Okay.
[14:22] >> Okay,
[14:23] I'll take a break.
[14:25] Yeah, I might run to the washroom.
[14:26] >> And then mercifully, like mana from
[14:28] heaven, Linus asked to go to the
[14:30] bathroom. Yes!
[14:33] Yes! So, he was gone. We cleared
[14:35] everything up with the boss.
[14:37] Crisis averted. We're good to go.
[14:41] Oh sh
[14:42] >> I I'm going to need one that has the
[14:44] actual riser cable so I can keep going.
[14:47] Do we have that?
[14:47] >> Uh I ordered a new one, so considering

[15:11] >> Okay.
[15:11] >> Ready. Realistically, I want to get this
[15:13] done even [music] sooner
[15:16] than
[15:17] the customer is asking because I really
[15:19] need to get back to [music] that other
[15:20] system. I want to finish that system
[15:22] today. I do not want to leave that
[15:25] unfulfilled.
[15:27] What a day.
[15:28] I'm tired, boss. You know, just just a
[15:31] simple assignment. Put in the AIO, put
[15:33] in the GPU.
[15:34] >> I know this is going to take a picture.
[15:35] >> Uh sorry, I'm not doing pictures today.
[15:37] I'm working.
[15:39] You can snap a picture [music] from out
[15:40] there if you want though.
[15:41] But uh the boss has got me building
[15:43] systems.
[15:44] >> He says no break.
[15:46] >> You can. I didn't say that. He said it
[15:48] with his eyes. Cable management
[15:50] Okay.
[15:51] >> B+ today.
[15:52] >> B+. Oh, B+ to A. Okay, GPU mount done.
[15:57] Not going anywhere.
[15:59] >> That looks all right. That looks okay.
[16:01] [laughter]
[16:01] >> Listen, if you want a good cable
[16:02] management job, you don't ask for a rush
[16:04] order right?
[16:06] Right boss?
[16:07] Yep. Yep.
[16:09] >> [laughter]
[16:10] >> Look at him. He's in on the joke. He
[16:12] loves it. Okay.
[16:14] I think we're good. We make sure it
[16:15] works.
[16:16] >> [laughter]
[16:17] >> Probably not a terrible idea.
[16:18] >> no cable line over
[16:19] >> Oh, I got one here. Oops. Okay, I'm on
[16:21] it. I'm on it, boss. New CPUs installed.
[16:25] Uh total RAM 32 gigs. Let's get in the
[16:28] BIOS here. How's the rebuild going on
[16:30] that poor guy's system?
[16:32] >> Well, I'm still
[16:34] cable managing.
[16:35] >> I now maybe I'll grade your cable
[16:36] management.
[16:38] >> [laughter]
[16:38] >> It's C.
[16:39] >> Well, it's not finished yet.
[16:40] >> C.
[16:41] There's a storm outside.
[16:43] Oh my goodness.
[16:46] By the way, there was one thing I
[16:47] couldn't figure out on this one. Like
[16:48] this screen, is it just like glued in?
[16:50] It's so crooked.
[16:51] >> Well,
[16:53] well, it's sticky here, so maybe
[16:55] >> crying out loud. He just
[16:57] >> Yeah, you just stick it in.
[16:59] >> It's definitely, you know, it's better
[17:00] now. Also, I noticed his clip for his
[17:03] 12-volt 2x6 is broken. Oh, wait. Oh, no,
[17:06] I I bent it a little. Now I think Okay,
[17:08] it's working now. Okay, good. We don't
[17:09] want that to burn up. Not that I kill
[17:11] your PC.
[17:12] >> [laughter]
[17:13] >> Should we take the peels off? It'll look
[17:15] nicer.
[17:17] Oh no.
[17:19] Got the technique, bottom-up technique.
[17:21] No.
[17:23] My lunch is here, but the boss says I
[17:24] have to finish this system.
[17:26] >> No, I didn't say that. I didn't say
[17:27] that.
[17:28] >> She She says you finish the system, then
[17:29] you eat.
[17:30] >> Okay, yes. Yes, sir.
[17:31] >> I didn't.
[17:32] Really?
[17:33] >> What?
[17:33] >> Your face.
[17:34] >> What the
[17:35] What the
[17:36] >> [laughter]
[17:36] >> What the heck?
[17:39] Are we Did we get trolled on this or
[17:41] what?
[17:41] >> Okay.
[17:42] >> I take it back. It's not the worst PC
[17:44] ever made.
[17:45] >> [laughter]
[17:45] >> It looks a lot better now that the cable
[17:47] management doesn't suck.
[17:48] >> Oh, man. I just really wish this wasn't
[17:50] crooked.
[17:50] >> [laughter]
[17:51] >> I mean, the thing is pure post
[17:53] anyway, so it might as well be
[17:55] posted crooked.
[17:56] >> We ran into a challenge.
[17:58] >> There's no Windows 10 drivers for the
[18:00] Wi-Fi 7 network card that's on here.
[18:03] >> We have to put Windows 11 on it. I think
[18:04] we're just going to have to install
[18:05] fresh.
[18:06] >> No GPU detected.
[18:08] >> Yep.
[18:09] >> So, maybe the riser is not detected or
[18:12] it's not plugged in properly.
[18:14] >> I didn't do that.
[18:16] The boss did that.
[18:19] >> Although, it is technically [music]
[18:21] possible that while I was installing the
[18:24] vertical mount that I disrupted it.
[18:27] >> So, it could have been anyone.
[18:28] >> Probably James.
[18:31] >> What the
[18:32] >> I don't think all the hardline water
[18:33] cooling is happening between now and the
[18:35] end of my shift, which is uh
[18:37] in 1 hour. But, I can at least get it as
[18:40] prepped as possible.
[18:42] >> Oh, is it up?
[18:43] >> Yep.
[18:44] >> Hey, let's go.
[18:45] >> Oh. Hello?
[18:46] >> Oh, you said I can come back and get my
[18:48] PC.
[18:48] >> Oh. Yes.
[18:50] So, the wiring's all fixed. There's not
[18:52] really much we can do about your RGB
[18:53] software because you went and you bought
[18:55] RGB things from like every different
[18:57] >> Yeah.
[18:57] >> manufacturer.
[18:58] >> Cuz I I went online. I see this one
[19:00] looked cool, that one looked cool. So, I

[19:16] >> Or I K, something.
[19:17] >> C.
[19:17] >> I K Y P C. Uh also, we we could not
[19:20] straighten this screen because you used
[19:22] permanent tape.
[19:23] >> Sonder.
[19:24] >> You used VHB tape.
[19:25] >> Yeah, cuz there was the stand thing, but
[19:28] it wouldn't go on on there.
[19:29] >> Right. So, you just you put VHB on there
[19:31] and put it on.
[19:32] >> there.
[19:32] >> Yeah, forever. You can see the back is
[19:34] like pretty tidy now, too. All the RGB
[19:36] hubs are all tucked down now.
[19:38] >> Oh, this looks so nice.
[19:39] >> Yeah.
[19:40] >> I'm on my way outside then.
[19:41] >> Okay.
[19:41] >> Oh, yeah. Sorry.
[19:43] >> Do you even want a tech tip?

[19:53] >> Here you go.
[19:53] >> Okay, thanks.
[19:55] >> Man, it's been a while since I've done
[19:56] any hardline tubing. Now, I normally use
[19:59] a little band saw to cut it. What do you
[20:01] have?
[20:02] Oh.
[20:03] Oh. Okay.
[20:04] >> What could go wrong?
[20:05] >> That's why my finger is like this.
[20:13] >> Okay. It has been a while.
[20:16] Hopefully, I remember how to do this.
[20:20] >> Yeah, I just use my hands.
[20:22] >> I know. I I know. I remember that from
[20:24] last time. Those U bends though.

[20:37] >> Wait. What what what what what what's
[20:38] that supposed to mean? There we go.
[20:40] Actually, you know what? That's better
[20:41] than I thought that was going to go,
[20:42] too. We might make more progress than I
[20:44] thought here.
[20:45] How's this doing? All right. That son of
[20:46] a did it. Now, we just need to
[20:48] find the perfect person to help with the
[20:50] reveal.
[20:55] I mean, it's [music] coming together
[20:57] like
[20:58] really well. The first
[21:00] The first two runs have gone great.
[21:01] >> Sorry, I'm an hour late.
[21:03] >> My bad.
[21:03] >> You're an hour late for what?
[21:05] >> Yeah. Uh I'm here to pick up a computer.
[21:07] I was supposed to be here like 8.
[21:08] >> Wait, is this for you?
[21:10] Oh, we do actually have a computer
[21:12] that's due at 8.
[21:13] >> Is it Is this
[21:13] >> this for you?
[21:14] >> That looks like what we ordered.
[21:15] >> You ordered a system? You got to be
[21:17] kidding me. Did Sammy put you up to
[21:18] this?
[21:19] >> [laughter]
[21:20] >> Uh wait, sorry. I'm a little confused.
[21:23] >> This is yours
[21:24] for I don't know, 12 hours or something,
[21:26] and then you're going to give it away
[21:27] tomorrow.
[21:29] >> Oh.
[21:31] Well, I'm glad I did a good job of
[21:33] building it.
[21:34] >> How else were you going to have a
[21:34] computer to give away?
[21:36] >> Oh, you've
[21:37] >> Hey, by the way, that still needs to be
[21:38] paid for.
[21:39] >> So, everyone knew this but me?
[21:41] >> I think even some of the people waiting
[21:43] do.
[21:44] >> [laughter]
[21:45] >> I see how it is.
[21:46] Okay, well, it's all set up now, sir.
[21:50] Me.
[21:50] >> As long as it benchmarks well, I think
[21:51] we'll be a happy customer.
[21:52] >> You're taking my hardline tubing table,
[21:54] Luke.
[21:54] >> What were you tubing?
[21:55] >> Uh the one behind you.
[21:56] >> Oh.
[21:57] >> Being caught guard off
[21:59] Being caught guard on this is fine in
[22:01] terms of I don't mind giving away a PC,
[22:03] but I didn't like let my bank know. Like
[22:05] I actually don't know if I have the
[22:06] means to pay for this right now. All
[22:07] right, James's company card works, so I
[22:09] guess we're good to go. Wait.
[22:13] Oh sorry.
[22:14] >> It's okay.
[22:14] I put the saw there cuz I didn't think
[22:16] we were going to be moving around that
[22:18] much.
[22:21] >> [laughter]
[22:22] >> Okay. All right. All right. Geez, these
[22:25] guys trolling me here. All right, well,
[22:28] here you guys go. Um
[22:31] >> Order fulfilled.
[22:31] >> I still have a system to finish.
[22:34] >> Good luck.
[22:34] >> We got three more runs.
[22:37] >> Yeah, but unfortunately, the market

[22:42] late.

[22:47] have to leave the mall?
[22:48] >> Yeah.
[22:49] >> Okay, we're finishing this PC.
[22:51] The mall's going to have to kick us out.
[22:53] That was a cool little technique, by the
[22:54] way. I I like that, using the tiles to
[22:57] get your 90. Actually,
[22:59] that's pretty damn good.
[23:01] >> [laughter]
[23:02] >> Dude, I did that by hand. Now I just
[23:04] have to make sure I don't cut it the
[23:05] wrong way.
[23:06] >> Shutting us down. Shutting us down,
[23:08] Glenn.
[23:09] >> Did they turn off the lights? No, we're
[23:10] so close. We're so close. One more. The
[23:13] boss just finished this 90. I just got
[23:14] to do one more 90. Just got to crank it.
[23:17] Crank a 90.
[23:18] >> Oh, yeah.
[23:20] >> Yep.
[23:21] >> Looks great.
[23:21] >> Looks good.
[23:22] You know what? I do think I'm an A
[23:24] employee.
[23:26] >> All right. I'll be A plus.
[23:27] >> Let's fill it. There she goes.
[23:30] >> Oh, great.
[23:32] >> Dude, this looks flipping gorgeous.
[23:37] Up to standard, right?
[23:38] >> Yep.
[23:38] >> That is a sick
[23:41] looking system.
[23:43] What do you think, boss? Have I got what
[23:44] it takes to work in a tech shop?
[23:46] >> Of course.
[23:46] >> You would hire me?
[23:47] >> Yes, of course.
[23:49] >> All right. So, what would you grade me
[23:51] after 1 day as your employee?
[23:53] >> I'll give him a
[23:55] >> [music]
[23:55] >> A plus.
[23:55] >> A plus?
[23:57] >> Yeah.
[23:57] >> That's the best grade he's given me all
[23:58] day.
[23:59] >> [laughter]
[24:00] >> Yeah.
[24:00] >> Unfortunately, I'm sorry.
[24:03] But,
[24:04] I have to resign because I'm quite busy
[24:06] tomorrow giving away the other PC.
[24:09] >> Okay.
[24:10] >> So, good luck, guys. Hey, you know if
[24:13] you need a high-end system built, all
[24:15] you got to do is go to IKY PC. Thank you
[24:17] so much for letting us come hang out
[24:19] with you today. This was
[24:21] >> for helping me
[24:22] >> a full day. This was so much fun. Now,
[24:26] let's go give away that other system
[24:27] that made it so that I had to work
[24:29] overtime to get the main one done. Way
[24:32] to go, James.
[24:33] >> What?
[24:35] >> I have a feeling people are going to be
[24:36] like waiting for us this time, which was
[24:38] a big part of why I had decided we
[24:40] weren't going to do a giveaway this
[24:41] year.
[24:42] >> It's the same spot.
[24:44] >> Yeah.
[24:44] >> If you do it again next year, you got to
[24:46] change the spot up.
[24:47] >> I'm not I'm not going to do it again
[24:48] next year.
[24:49] >> What if it was the same guy?
[24:50] >> No.
[24:52] No shot.
[24:52] >> Upgrade.
[24:53] >> No shot. Actually, it's a downgrade.
[24:56] >> Kind of hard to beat the actual thing, I
[24:57] guess.
[25:00] >> This guy
[25:02] he turns around and like
[25:03] >> runs
[25:04] >> charges into a direction. Dude, [music]
[25:05] I think it's going to be really quick
[25:07] this year.

[25:09] >> Okay,
[25:10] the world's most distinctive laugh is
[25:11] not going to help us stay incognito
[25:13] here.
[25:14] >> I think he's one got away.
[25:16] >> Yeah? Can we book it?
