- Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally happening. It's powder coated, it's ready. And we are going to be building
the most insane gaming/ workstation/ what can't it
do, machine on the planet. 64 cores, 256 gigs of Ram, two, RTX 30 nineties. And to cap it all off, the cherry on top, three, Samsung mega super
ultra wide monitors. But who could the client be? By the end of this video, you'll know. And you'll also know who our sponsor is. Glasswire allows you to
instantly see your current, and past network activity, block badly behaving apps on
your PC or Android device, and detect malware. Use offer code Linus, and

to build them a computer. But not just any computer. You got to understand this client, Okay. Really appreciates like rich people stuff. You know, we're talking,
owns an actual Lamborghini. As opposed to my Lambo. So they weren't going to settle for some, Pleidian off the shelf, computer case. No, they wanted a pyramid. And not just any pyramid, an
Illuminati themed pyramid. So Alex, with some help from
the rest of the team here, set to work, building an
absolutely one of the kind, bespoke Illuminati themed pyramid case. which I think is a game stall logs. No offense turned out
kind of freaking amazing. If you're into that kind of thing, we're going to have a
playlist popping up here, with the journey so you can see the case, and it's less finished and hopeful state. For now though, this is freaking awesome. Dave's powder coating, considering that it's actually just Dave, and some powder coating stuff, in sea cans in his backyard, did a bang up job of the paint job here. I mean, it was 400 Canadian dollars, but yeah, I'm into it. By the way, all the prices
today are going to be Canadian. We're Canadian, clients Canadian, and we don't have to do any conversions. Truthfully, the cost of the paint job, seems downright reasonable. When you look at how much
the cooling fans cost. We've got four NF-F12
industrials in the front, and then four NF-A12(x15) in the back. And this is absolutely necessary because, with the kind of hardware
we're going to have in here, we are going to need a
freaking ton of air flow. Though that's not to say that, we're going to need all
2000 RPMs of these things. They can get pretty loud. So we're going to be using
these, one to four PWN splitters, from EK water blocks, in
order to bring them down, just a little bit into
reasonable territory, and do some tuning. Total cost for the
solution $321 and 12 cents. Woah. Shinny. We got an, Asus ROG Zenith two Alpha, AMD Ryzen threadripper 3990x. That's five grand right there. And then for storage, since
it actually wasn't important to the client and had no
bowling factor anyway, since it's going to be
under a heat spreader. We just chucked a Samsung 970 Evo. I think it is two terabyte in there. Everything's going to be on a
server over 10 gig networking. And of course this motherboard
is as bawling as it gets. So it's got 10 gig onboard. Now let's put it in. And aaaah, very funny you guys. Got to get that straight
shilling in there. LTT store.com. Now that is what a
six-figure laser gets you. We can engrave on metal now. It's good the client will
never know that that's there. Before you ask, we did also point out to the client, that the CPU isn't exactly visible either. So spending five grand,
on a Threadripper 3990 X, for their workload was
not necessary in any way, shape or form, but, they insisted. And you know what they say,
the customer is always right. And when they're not, you just
tell them the right anyway. Cause like it's their money, who gives a (beep) Is this supposed to line up? - [Alex] Aah, No. - Oh, I see. Wait, did we move the
motherboard up a little bit, after having put in the cutoff? - [Alex] How big is the gap? I mean, we can move it a tiny bit-- - It's not small. - [Alex] Oh, that's way too big. Yeah. Let's just move it down a bit. - [Linus] Okay. This is the Tesla node computer. (hammer thump) Wait, you have got to be kidding me. (hammer thump) Okay. Not quite lined up. But Alex informs me that this
much of a gap is necessary, in order for us to fit the
cooler and power supply. Oh man these poor holes
on the motherboard, have a lot of strain on them. - [Alex] It's stronger
because it's stressed. - No. - [Alex] It's like rebar in buildings. - No it's not. Alex, had you given any thought
to how to put the screws in, under the GPU risers? - [Alex] I didn't last time. - Okay. That's fine. I think I can start them by hand, and finish them with the screwdriver. Is that a bit of an angle here? Oh, okay. What's next? So for the fans, is the plan just, just the cables under the
motherboard tray and-- - [Alex] Yep. - All right then. I'm into it. - [Alex] Oh, and actually
go under like that. - You don't think so? - [Alex] No. - Oh, there, does it not go through? - [Alex] No. (hammer thump) - I was just trying to... Naturally, we can't
install our graphics cards, in the PCI express slots,
like some kind of, slobs. So these are PCI express,
16 X risers from Communo, that we're going to be using
put our two GPU's here, and here, actually here and here. If I recall correctly. - [Alex] Yeah. - And this, is why most people only move, one of their PCI express
cards or at most two, because that is a lot of Cabling. The good news is I can
still get in the Ram slots. Lets put some RAM in. Weighing in at $1,905, and 12 cents, is our 256 gig kit, of 3,200 megahertz CL16 DDR four. Now 3,200 megahertz CL16. That doesn't sound that impressive, until you consider that each of these, is 32 gigs on a single stick. 32, 64, whatever this is, 128. But this is a double Decker Ram sandwich. Or as I call it a ramwich. For cooling, there are a number of routes, we could have gone. We could have gone water cooling. I mean, you got 64 cores in here, but quite frankly the client
aside from being an ass. I wouldn't trust to maintain
water cooling on their own. So air cooling was the
way we were going to go. This is the Noctua Nh-u14s
Threadripper edition. And we're just gonna
pop that poppy on there. Call it, call it good. Not too shabby right. Now meet the, DA1650. This is quite literally
the only power supply, on the market that is able to both, deliver the power we need, 1,650 Watts, at 80 plus fuel efficiency, while also not being too long
to fit in the pyramid chassis. See, here's the thing you weren't
following the entire saga, the client changed the
spec on us multiple times. So when the RTX 3090 was released, all of a sudden the client's
like, Oh, I need the 3090. So you guys are going to
have to find a power supply, that will power for them. So we came back and we said, look. You're not getting four. And also even two is a
flipping stretch here. And let's put this... how the hell is this
supposed to fit in here? - [Alex] Okay. So all of the cables, you
need to run them behind this. And through first. - All of them. - [Alex] All of them. you also probably want to plug in, the motherboard stuff now. - Aha. I see I see it's gotten banged up a fair bit. - [Alex] Yeah. Well you don't need to say that. - Well, no. I see that I'm not going
to lie to the people. Okay. Clearly this has been
abused on the way in, and out of this case a couple times. - [Alex] That's just the fitment. - This is one tight area, sir. - [Alex] One cable at a time. - No, no, I got this. They can just get in there. I mean, who needs all the
fins on the heat sink to be straight? Anyway. I feel like I'm not Science
world doing those puzzles, where you have to put the
seemingly impossible thing, into the other thing. - [Alex] Oh golly. That's a really bad way to do it. - Look If you let the bull
loose in the China shop, don't be surprised at that-- - [Alex] I see a problem coming. - [Linus] Hold on a second. - [Alex] There's a power switch. - Oh no the PA power switch will clear. We're up to your, so-called,
deal-breaker look at that. How switches work Sucker. You see that? Oh We're stuck on the
PCI express riser there. No problem, huh? (laughter) - [Alex] Well that
probably only marked it up, a little bit more - I knew you were a smart guy. Wow. Ah, I see what you mean, about the clearance between the
cooler and the power supply. There is literally none. It's a good thing that I didn't
give this one more whack, with the hammer because, we wouldn't have been
putting this together today. - [Alex] Yep. There is a
reason that gaps there. - Okay. Still got to do the GPU cables, and the fan cables. It'll be hidden. (laughter) - [Alex] Actually I haven't
seen it with lighting yet. I'm excited. - I don't know. Can I just cram this here? - [Alex] Well, that works. - That works. - [Alex] Yep. - [Linus] Okay. Just get a cable tile, TT store.com. - [Alex] Yeah. You've actually got it. Like a boat to where I was
kind of planning on leaving it. - Alright. So just the GPU's now, then. - [Alex] Yep. - This might just work Alex. - [Alex] Ofcourse it will. Okay. What's next? - [Alex] GPU's. GPU's.
- Its GPU time now. Oh Wow. Now there's a little trick. We had some real fly
instability problems with this. The first time it was test
assembled as a final product. What we realized is that, when we originally tried out these risers, it was on a gen three
motherboard with gen three GPU's. Well, this is PCI express, gen four stuff. Massive problems until we
manually changed the motherboard over to gen three mode. Which does cost us technically
a little bit of bandwidth. But quite frankly these
are already so overkill, for the client anyway that it
really, really doesn't matter. Now you might've noticed, that the graphics card actually, did not fit in the first slot. I tried to insert it in. That is for good reason. This one right here, unit number two, had to be modified a little bit. Roll the tape. - I have a bit of a problem, and you guys, are not going to be very
happy about the solution. This one is just, you know, against that. Some go all the way out here. What the heck? It turns out. (thud) Oh geez. That's because this
little finger right here, needs to go away. Problem solved. Wow. - [Man] Genius. - I'm going to file that slightly. - We have tested it since then. It does still work. I almost hope the client likes it, if they hadn't been such
a royal pain in the butt, the whole time. - [Alex] Oh yeah. Now is probably a good time to mention, that we have no clue how
much these GPU's cost. We just know that the client
said we would get them, and they arrived while they
were not in stock anywhere. - Oh really? Okay. Sensible people know that
SLI is pretty much dead, but you guys, I'm sure noticed, that this is in fact two graphics cards. So we're going to throw
this NV link bridge on here, and hope that the intention, is for the client to use
it as a network render, target or something, and not actually for games
cause beyond unnecessary. What was your plan for these? - [Alex] I don't know. It always looks bad. We tried several different ways. - And Nvidia like, come on. - [Alex] I think going below
might look a tiny bit better, but like it's, it's all bad. - Are we ready to test this thing? - [Alex] Yeah, pretty much. So there is one unfortunate thing. So I did buy like pass through cables, for the display ports. - [Linus] Yeah. - [Alex] That go from
here to a little panel, that was supposed to go back here. - [Linus] Yeah, I see that. - [Alex] The pass through
things were not reliable at all. - So the client's just
going to have to go like, play horse veterinarian and like.. (laughter) - [Alex] Yes. - Alright, cool. Whatever. You know what? Screw that guy. You ask for a pyramid. You get a pyramid. So it comes with some inconveniences. I mean, you don't think the pyramids, were inconvenient for the Egyptians? They're all in the way and everything. Ready? - [Alex] Yep. - Hey. The fans are rubbing. - [Alex] Oh, that sucks. I think they might not be filtered then - I think they're pulling the
filters up into themselves. - [Alex] Yeah. That's
actually not very hard to fix, but it does take time. - Is it even posting? - [Alex] Just give it a sec. - Hey, all 256 gigs of Ram detected. 3990 X, six core F1 run set up. Whew. This is good. This is the biggest
hurdle we need to pass, in order for-- - [Alex] First have lunch. - Yeah. Going for lunch and that's it. We're at the desktop. I love the money wallpaper by the way. - [Alex] Yeah. A bunch of Robert Borden's. - I don't even know, the names of most of
the people Hunter money. All right. Why don't we run a quick stress test, and it can sit and run
that while we're at lunch, and we'll come back. - [Alex] Yeah. - Cyberpunk 2077 stress test. It seems appropriate right? Game ran Perfectly. Stability issues are gone. Also Alex took some time, to move all the filters to the outside. So all the fans are spinning. All that's left now then
is to put the panels on, and find out if the thermal is right. Did you test the thermals? - [Alex] Oh, we need to do RGB first. - RGB. Oh, aren't you being right,
the most important part. Ah, so you know, all those
brackets that I alluded to earlier in the video, this
is what we're putting in them. Nah, we don't want no wimpy. You know, little RGB strips, little flexible garbage like that. These are called Helios tubes. Do you know what Helios means? Helios was the God of the sun, and they are, appropriately named. - [Alex] Hey Linus, do you want to know, how much we spent on RGB for this? $2,212 - $2,200 on RGB? Not my problem. - [Linus] This is ridiculous. Awesome fun speeds and feeds for these. They have eight RGB pixels. They're fully programmable. You can set up animations
and stuff like that. And you can actually
control them over DMX, from up to 300 meters away. That's a 900 for my American friends. This is so stupid. - We could, but we won't. Deal with it. I was going to say, I hope you guys won't be disappointed, by the free Mason theme side panels. But I don't have to guess at that, you guys know you love it. How perfect is that for
for illuminati themed PC. Now our original plan, was actually to have D brand, do some special side panel skins for us, for the client that were kind
of like Illuminati themed. But when they found out, that there were 5300 8th inch
holes all over these panels, they wimped out on us all
PlayStation five style, and said they couldn't do it. So I guess we're just
stuck with the, yeah. I guess we're just stuck
with the powder coating. It's still pretty cool. Oh my God. That is amazing. These lineup like perfectly. - [Alex] Well of course they do. We C and C machine did. - well. Yeah, no, but I'm impressed. One panel down, that
looks absolutely sick. I want to show you guys, what we're doing for the rear Panel. This right here is a
hinged panel for the back, to allow easy access to the IO, and also a pass through. And look at that. (click) One button for overclocking. Okay then. Huh? How is it watching me
manhandle your baby right now? - [Alex] That's fine. - I love that it's a giant red button. Oh, Oh my God. This thing is ridiculous. All right. Front panel time. This is the center piece. This was honestly the first thing, that was designed about this machine. And this is now my first time, being eyes on with it, so-- - [Alex] Never show them the back. - Never show them the back. - [Alex] Never show them the back. - I see. That is sweet. What's about, about the back. Well, okay then and what the hell is this? - [Alex] It's the power button. - Oh man. I love, that the first thing you
through the front window is NVIDIA's ugly stupid 12 pin connector. Hang it in video. This chapter of our lives is
finally coming to a close. - [Alex] Yeah. - Now that all the panels are on, I'm ready to show you the big surprise. Those RGB tubes are something else. Normally RGB software like
for your PC is garbage, and it can even make your PC slower. But this RGB software runs on an iPad. So you can do basically anything
you want with these things, and control it from freaking anywhere. Is that fire or is that fire? Alright, now we got ice fire. Sick. And we've got, of course we've got ours, that we use for filming in the background, synchronized which I mean
nothing would prevent the client, from doing. Here's the dance party. I mean, there's no reason to put lights like this in your computer though. Unless you're like are
going to have someone, professionally film your computer, which naturally we're
going to do right now. (tense music) - Well, aint awesome. I mean, this thing is
a monument to access. What could be crazier than this computer? The monitor set up. To contain it, we're
going to need more table. Okay. Do you think we have enough
space for the monitors? - I don't know. - Not one, not two, but three, 49 inch, Samsung Odyssey monitors. That is hanging off the
table pretty hardcore there. Here we go. Yeah, sure. Two, Three. Oh my God. This is like, this is not even usable. Why did they ask for this? - [Alex] Great question. - It is literally wider
than my field of view. I cannot even see the
edges of these monitors. like gaming or productivity,
no matter what it is, this is actually going to
be a terrible experience. (laughter) - It seems like the client's, never seen one of these
monitors in person. - [Alex] He owns one. He specifically asked for this, because he owns one and he likes it. - The client has one already? - [Alex] Yes. - And it's like, yeah, I
think I need three of them? - [Alex] Yes. - Oh, what a moron. Okay. Are they all fired up? - [Alex] Nope. As you said, horse doctor it. - All right I got it.
- There you go. Yes. - [Linus] Okay, all right. All right.
All right. Geez. I cannot even find the cursor right now. (laughter) - Where the hell is the cursor? The irony is that you can't
even see the computer. 15,360 K by 1440. This is like 15 K's wide. Now I know how people feel
watching our videos sometimes. Or it's like, no, it's just like dumb. It's unnecessary this. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're right. What are we playing? Do maternal? Fine.
- [Alex] Yep. (beep) - FOV of 140 degrees. That's what we're going to need. I doubt the slider goes that far. 32 by three native. (laughter) - Okay. 32 by three. What? This is a 10 to one aspect ratio. Just why didn't the client just get three. The LGC10s, they are 48 inches. - [Alex] Great question. - It is a great-- - [Alex] I suggested that. - Well, I know obviously you did, because you have an ounce of sense, Alex. 120 that's the max. And that would look like a fish-eye, like nonsense lens under
normal circumstances. That might actually-- (laughter) still not even close to widen. Okay. So let's crank it, Shall we? - [Alex] Yep. - I'm sitting here
going, is it loaded yet? Well, the UI is over here and over here. Literally have to hike to go see the UI. So, wow. This is horrible. This is the worst. This is totally unplayable. - [Alex] Okay. So we're getting what? Like a hundred FPS? - [Linus] actually yes. - [Alex] Should we test
out the overclock button? - [Linus] Yeah, sure. You know what Brandon? You're right. I'm feeling a little bit nauseated too. If you hadn't said anything. I would've thought I was just imagining. I never get motion sick in games. - [Alex] Okay. - Okay. Let's try the overclock, overclock? Yeah. You press the overclock button. - [Alex] Yeah. It's just connects to the reset switch. (laughter)
(music) - Are we going to tell the
client that before we send it? - [Alex] We don't have to. - I guess we don't have to. - [Alex] It does get you into
the overflow menu though. If you look at the bios. - Thanks for coming along
on this adventure with us, a massive shout out to Alex, our shooters, Brandon is holding an extremely heavy rig right now. This has been a very, very long shoot. And of course there were
the other ones as well. This has been one heck of a project. Thanks for your patience. If you go on and want to
find out who the client is-- - [Alex] you have to tell them linus. - We have to tell them. - [Alex] You have to tell them. - All right.
(drum rolls) A lot of you guessed it. The client is, D brand. Get the best prices. Have a great selection of PC hardware, and other technology at
any of micro center's, twenty-five locations across the U S. They're featuring the, NetGear Nighthawk pro gaming
XR1000 wifi 6 gaming router, with six stream wifi 6 up
to 5.4 gigabit per second, five gigabit ports, one lan for lan. And it runs do not owe us
3.0, which is loaded with, gaming optimizing technology, geo-fencing then with allocation
or quality of service, and a pink heat map and more. Check out it and much
more at micro center, at the link in the video description. (upbeat music) If you guys enjoyed this
video you might enjoy, some of our other crazy
fabrication projects. Should we point them
at one of the sleepers? - [Alex] Sure. - Which one was the most hellish? - [Alex] Margaret. - Go watch Margaret the sleeper.
Was the client really dbrand??? I mean it makes sense but. I'm not sure if that was a joke or not. Do they even HAVE all that money to waste?

Now I really want the opposite of this PC - a big wooden PC chassis with lots of airflow.
I can't be the only one that thinks this thing looks like a trashy piece of shit
Sure, the hardware is insane. But that case is a monstrosity
I wonder what was on the back of the front panel
So what's everyone's guess on the final price? I'm thinking $22k Canadian/$17k US
wtf does he mean by "play horse veterinarian" at 12:55?
The build inside is a bonkers, but the case itself is really cool.
I wonder if they could publically release the schematics?
