The LMG Lounge is FINALLY Done

it's finally done the lmg land center and employee lounge is finished just in time for us to need to dismantle it and move it upstairs we have more construction happening but um you know what we're gonna enjoy it while we can and i'm gonna take you guys on the deluxe grand tour wait am i allowed to say grand tour you know what it doesn't matter let's go oh wait after this word from our sponsor smart deploy smart deploy allows it departments to re-image unlimited computer models from one golden image search their library and grab your exclusive free licenses worth over 700 at smartdeploy.com linus [Music] man guys this project has been so long in the works that i don't even know where to begin or where to end so let's start at the beginning this is in fact platform nine and three quarters uh jake was in charge of all the signage for the lounge so if you guys like it then mad props to him oh did you help fawn oh did you do all of it okay harry potter what's wrong with harry potter it's so nerdy i assumed it was jake oh you did pick the art oh okay so my assumption was then not that incorrect so guys there's the stuff that's done now which is everything that we promised in the original plan and then there's the future plan so we've actually got a server cabinet sitting here for maybe maybe no guarantees because we had some issues with our last multi-users uh one cpu project but maybe we're gonna switch all the gaming machines over to like like i don't know blade servers or something or like virtualized machines and then we'll run like 100 gig networking over to the server room or something probably not but for now we had nowhere else to put this thing so that's where it goes we have finally done all the artwork for the back of the land center right here including this is freaking awesome so this was a joint project uh jake alex if i recall correctly matthias and lloyd all contributed to this so it's an rgb backlit ltt logo we had actually intended to do something a little bit bigger but uh this was as big as our cnc router goes anyway so hey there you go um next up is of course the gaming pc so it's finally finished the 12 person lan setup i had originally wanted 16 but i got talked into 12. it's pretty darn awesome and these are about as good as it gets except for there have actually been some recent changes to what qualifies as the best hardware out there in the last little bit but that's okay this was the best we could get at the time anyway i cannot figure out how to open this door did this one move why is it not opening so we did a stream building these things a little while back and we covered all the specs there but i don't blame you guys for not watching that it was about four hours long but this is pretty much as good as makes sense so not as good as it gets but pretty freaking awesome so for our monitors we went with pg 279 qs these are 2560 by 1440 144 hertz g-sync displays freaking awesome experience we've got logitech's brio 4k for our webcams so anyone who wants to come in here and stream after work i know colton has actually already done a couple lists you've already done a couple streams from here right how'd that go for you other than when i disconnected your ethernet cable in the middle of it right yeah yeah that's cool so that's the only problem with streaming from here for our peripherals we've gone full logitech because let's face it they make freaking awesome stuff so most of them i believe are equipped with gpro wirelesses which is are they all g pro wireless fantastic then for our keyboards we've gone with their g513 with their romer g switches our headsets we actually have a variety of headsets but this one is a g933 for the systems themselves we actually ended up going with ryzen 2700 x's because the reality of it is guys our crystal ball wasn't any better than anyone else's and we didn't know that ryzen 3rd gen was going to be such a punch in the chops for the entire rest of the industry if we'd known we probably would have put this off another six weeks but hey that's what happens when you get a new pc you win some you lose some we also ended up with rtx 2070s from asus rather than the new super ones because once again we got blindsided there hooking us up with the rest of the internals of our machines it's pretty much the corsair show we do have an asus tough b450m plus gaming motherboard but we are cooled by corsair we've got rgb memory courtesy of corsair our case is our corsair and of course the rgb lighting including their gorgeous light loop fans which are a key component of any gaming system are well there's nothing more corsair than a case full of rgb fans at this point in time i don't think for the finishing touches see sonic hooked us up with thousand watt power supplies totally overkill but whatever c sonic it's cool anyway and cablemod gave us their cable extensions so they'll all look straight up legit speaking of legit not everyone is that into pc gaming so and a really important thing for us when we created the lounge was to make sure that everyone would have something to do oh these are the microphones by the way for streaming these are blue yeti nanos nano right and we've got a huge collection of board games i've actually only had a chance to play a small handful of these but this azul game is actually surprisingly fun my son had an absolute blast with that one to the point where i'm kind of bored of it now but he still really likes it funnily enough though the pc land portion of the lounge hasn't been the most popular one it's actually the console gaming section that has been getting most of the attention so this up here is one of elune vision's 4k reference screens and it does more than just super flat and give you a great image honestly guys this looks kind of washed out but that is not fair and not representative we have filming lights set up in the room it looks fantastic even with the lights on in other parts of the room normally but the really cool trick is that you can actually retract the whole thing and it will reveal a 120 hertz 4k omen gaming display from hp if 60 hertz is not enough for you i'm so sorry taryn i had to show the feature i'm putting it back now the sound system was graciously provided by clips we've got a 5.1.2 sound system hooked up to our sony receiver that sounds absolutely fantastic whether you're watching movies my wife and i actually came here late one night on a weekend hung out watch the movie it was freaking awesome or you're playing games on the playstation 4 pro or xbox one x now one of the key components of any console gaming setup is of course controllers so we've got our nintendo switch down here skinned by dbrand by the way massive thanks to dbrand for that and a way to manage all of our input devices so this was set up by jake and the skinned controllers were graciously provided by dbrand but for our playstation 4 pro we've got four controllers on these really convenient like quick connect charging pads here one pro tip by the way guys if you value your controllers let them charge then put them aside because you don't want the batteries to sit being fully charged all the time and we've got four controllers for the xbox one x we've got our vive controllers with this handy dandy check this out so did you find this on thingiverse jake thingiverse so jake found this on thingiverse and it's just a 3d printed holster for your vive controllers where you can put the original cables in here and then just slot them in in order to charge them pretty freaking sick finally of course guys we've got a full eight controller set up for the switch so if we want to get some eight player smash going in here in the future that'll be totally an option next up we've got the gaming desk so this is where apparently jake is ripping open a pack of cards to pretend to play gophers does it look like we're doing things you can't play you can't play go fish with a fresh deck uh this is the pizza that i bribed everyone with to come in and be here so that uh on a is it all gone well a bunch of people showed up and they didn't say they were coming of course of course the one with the spinach is the one that everyone leaves for me thanks guys also finally fixed is the arcade machine that anthony built i think has one of his first long-term projects here atlantis media group at least it's mostly fixed okay this one still needs a probably an afternoon of work or so but that's where it goes in the layout then over here we've got the counter where people are expected to microwave their food take it to the table eat it and nothing more and never leave any garbage here we will see how long that lasts our final finishing touch is of course our madrina's refrigerator that no offense to madrinas but this thing isn't great um it's pretty loud we're probably going to get rid of it at some point now i was going to skip over it but jake insisted that i mention the projector now we actually did a sponsored video on this thing this is viewsonics 4k but like not really using the true 4k texas instruments chipset it's like using pixel shift to kind of upscale it or something and we weren't that impressed with it at the time but what we've realized is that the problem was just that we were pointing it at an inflatable screen so it didn't really look that great in this setup we've been really really impressed with it did we just blow a breaker i told them they're all plugged into the same circuit what you guys are why would you do that okay there's still some things for us to for us to sort out here anyway we've been really impressed with this thing it looks really sharp and the input leg is not that bad like i remember it wasn't that long ago that playing games on a projector was absolutely not a thing but it's been quite enjoyable on here and people have been playing a lot of smash actually in the interest of fairness here we should turn off these lights and show you guys what it looks like when it's actually dark man that looks how to refill good ink how do i do it the last piece of course is the ping pong table but um due to the forest of lights that we have over here to light this area up and shoot this video we can't really have it deployed uh usually it's intended to be more like dark and you know man cavey but uh hey we got to make videos too right the new force b sport three ear buds feature 10 hours of battery life a 10 meter bluetooth range durable construction with metal and polycarbonate materials an ipx5 rating so they're workout ready with sweat and water resistance they support aac and aptx for better sound quality and their twin blade spin fit ear tips mean you should be able to get a perfect fit they come in gunmetal gray or rose gold and for the month of july and the first week of august they're just 34.90 instead of 59 on amazon check them out at the link in the video description so huge thanks for watching guys and a big thanks to everyone who made this project possible i'm gonna try and list them all but i don't stand a chance so jake and yvonne were the biggest contributors from our team of course everyone helped at some stage or another because we had to build all these pcs move all these couches it was a crazy long project and then from there oh man you got amd asus corsair they were absolutely instrumental uh d brand uh logitech logitech was absolutely huge c sonic was a huge sponsor for this who else was like really heavily involved if i can only name the biggest ones clips yeah that audio system is freaking awesome guy called out corsair and of course you guys for being patient with us as we've worked on this whole thing and then uh are gonna be patient with us again as we move the whole thing upstairs and then we'll probably do a tour again it wouldn't be it wouldn't be the stupidest thing we've ever done so if you guys disliked it you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description that is going to be quite a chore jake getting links for all this stuff in the video description i think we do also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which you should
