Transcripts
we've teamed up with cableorganizer.com
ubiquity networks bonded logic Trend net
and protoc case to give this place a
complete
makeover now the only thing that remains
is to do something
about the
noise that's where the ultr touch
batting comes in the bad
news is that we've got some theories but
no concrete ideas when it comes to how
we're going to cover the inside of this
room with
it the good news is that because you
have to leave it out overnight to fluff
up to its full
thickness it's pretty easy to find in
our
office our ant lion audio mod mic 5
giveaway continues we're giving away
three mod mic FES and a highi man
Edition s mod Mite combo enter now at
the link
below okay someone put all this stuff in
a pile I got to get it over here anyway
this insulation stuff that we're using
is really cool I was first put onto it
when Mike from Silent PC review was
showing me how he built his an at coic
chamber it's made by a company called
bonded logic and it's got a few things
that set it apart from other insulation
so it's not made of fiberglass or
anything like that it's actually made of
recycled blue jeans so it's like if
you're into sustainability then I guess
that's cool but it's also got awesome
thermal properties and some of the best
acoustic properties both in terms of
like dispersing sound and actually
blocking its transmission they actually
make a ton of stuff out of this uh
recycled blue jean materials when I was
talking to them on the phone they
actually mentioned to me that one of the
biggest uses for this stuff now is
actually shipping perishables like food
so blue apron a sponsor of ours actually
uses bonded logic shipping material to
ship you know like cold stuff that sits
on your doorstep so that it doesn't get
hot and spoil in the sun pretty cool
right check this out check this out if
you didn't believe it's made of recycled
jeans there's a piece of zipper that's
awesome okay so right now what we're
doing is we're getting a baseline
measurement of what the sound is like
through this wall of the server room so
everybody
quiet it's about 40 to 43
DB pretty sure that says LS right we've
got a couple of different
tools to help us
cut uh we do have a hand insulation saw
but from what I've read
online one of the best ways to cut it is
actually with a band
saw so we had tried to come up with a
brilliant plan for using like some kind
of a a mesh or like a netting to keep it
up but we actually ended up settling on
Good oldfashioned Nails hold on I got to
get a hammer um so we'll start in the
corner behind the UPS over there oh I'm
also going to need a lot more Nails than
this dang It
Bobby okay I'm clearly going to be
better off pre-measuring
this look I'm new at this okay actually
you know what for this one I should just
go right up the
wall if this doesn't work we don't
really have another plan at the
moment this is looking like it might
work huh how about
that okay so just a few more hours of
this and then I'm
[Music]
good okay this is a thick one wow I'm
going to go through a ton of nails how
many are in
here I don't feel like this is
enough oh damn it was that the label
maker we'll deal with it
later oh
sh that's the
steel good for
security bad for putting nails
into good thing we dusted the server
right we are ready to get our after
reading okay everybody
quiet and we have discovered a fatal
flaw in our testing
methodology because the room is way
quieter but we would have had to take
our measurement from quite a bit closer
to isolate the noise that comes from the
room from the noise that comes from the
computers that are here and the
Transformer over there so I give up
whatever mission accomplished but boy is
there ever still a lot of work to do so
what I discovered very quickly when
working with the ultr touch insulation
is that it still sheds a fair bit of
material creating dust for my freshly
dusted servers look at this keyboard
look at this
keyboard fortunately I was one step
ahead and I ordered a like a custom air
filter but we need a longer term
solution so that's where this special
black stage cloth comes in if we can
cover up all of the insulation in here
we'll be able to keep this place from
being a uh a dust
mine let's get CRA
[Music]
aacan holy crap this thing is heavy
inexpensive this roll was like hundreds
of dollars
this stuff is acoustically neutral I
believe is the term for it and it lets
sound pass through so it can be absorbed
by the ultra
touch if we were to put plastic over it
we would actually get substantially more
Reflections where my tape measure go
this is the problem with any DIY
project so I've actually done a lot of
the easy stuff along this left wall here
it only takes a couple of nails and
Staples actually to hold it in place but
now it's going to get a lot more
challenging so check this out standing
right behind the servers you can hear
how loud they
are and standing right here it's that
much
quieter cool huh oh nice I think this is
going to make it all the way into this
corner
perfect okay I need my
stapler
another handy dandy thing about this
fabric is once you uh start ripping it
it rips in a straight line in both
directions as far as I can
tell I need shirts made of this
stuff so everyone's back in the office
now though it is a couple days
later um so I can't afford to
accidentally unplug anything
anymore
oh no I pressed the button
Escape I didn't put dutin behind the
server cabinet itself just cuz I figured
if I'm running cables back there or
anything like that I didn't want to have
something that is more
grippy not bad
okay finally almost there we've got all
the installation contained and finally
the last piece from protoc case arrived
so this is my custom vent for the door
of the server room now noise isolation
relies on sealing up a room as much as
you I'll open this later come here and
as you can see I've got this just
covered but in the event that our air
conditioning fails we've actually got a
thermostat here that's going to monitor
the temperature of the room and kick on
an auxiliary fan up there so at least it
doesn't completely bake in here so Jake
designed and protocase created for us a
custom shroud that we're going to cover
this hole with so that the sound doesn't
have a direct path out but the air still
has a way
in ow my
elbow it's metal what do they expect to
happen to it in shipping no I'm not
angry they packed it
well oh my
knee oh my heat sinks would any of you
watching this believe I'm not much of a
handyman you guys try cutting through
5in thick blue jeans it's
hard okay just going at it upside
down ow
damn
it oh no where did all these screws go
don't have time for this there it is all
right come on in
Brandon I think this hole is not
optimal I think we may have to cut back
a bit more also I have to remove some of
my nails did he just Hammer Nails into a
door yes yes I did and now I'm removing
them with my bare hands
oh damn I was hoping to hook that up
there yeah okay screw it I'm going in
we're just going to drill right through
the
metal a cut myself on a drill bit okay
here we go wait a minute oh I installed
them
backwards
ah actually a very
simple kind of elegant
design good work Jake so we still have
to do this then the
dutin then the grand
finale here we
go acid test
time
[Music]
aha
nice wow it's actually almost level too
look at that awesome so there's
ventilation and here is noise
blocking
ow home stretch
now we just got to secure the insulation
to the door and
cover oh we're so close so 42 by about
90 so I want to secure this really
well people are probably wondering why
I'm using nails for this the answer is
pretty simple they're easy to remove I'm
sure it's wrong sure the internet is
going to tell me about why it's wrong
and then I'll know so it's good that's
how we learn by doing things wrong and
then being corrected on the internet I'm
going to cut it sort of approximately
but smaller and then just kind of fold
it over I will give you this Brandon
this really is very cool
fabric
ow
there so
theoretically I don't need this anymore
it's all covered you know what I think
the air filter on this thing is overkill
anyway I'm not going to bother get in
there hiya okay so we're done then right
the room is quiet the room is clean the
cables are
managed and ah fresh from its Adventure
in learning to be water cooled
this export
server is sliding back into the rack
there's nothing left to do
right you underestimate me my
friends RGB
lighting oh this is
rgbw chainable up to 3
m okay first I need to know if these are
the magnetic
kits oh yeah baby they are okay that's
excellent we've got a couple Standalone
power supplies cuz we don't actually
want these to run off of the computers
that are in here because the RGB always
needs to work I cannot
wait oh this is going to be sick sick I
tell you got to give some thought to
Cable Management here given that was the
whole point of this bloody
project okay so we're just going to go
straight into the wall realistically
these do not need to run off the UPS wow
it's
amazing that's what I'm talking
about all right let's see if I can hit
both of these at
once oh
yes Ting makes it easy to spend less on
your monthly Mobile bill basically you
head over to their website so that's
Linus doing.com we''ve got that Linked
In the video description and check out
their savings calculator you put in your
last few months of bills you put in how
much you paid and it lets you know if
Tings pay for only what you use system
is going to work for you and the odds
are pretty good because the average Ting
bill is only 23 bucks a month per device
so you must be sitting there going Linus
well this sounds like a kind of shoddy
mobile carrier where their customer
service probably sucks but that's not
the case if you call up Ting you can try
it you will speak to a real live human
being no phone tree no automated menu
nothing like that and data is now just
10 bucks a gig beyond the first gigabyte
even better than that if you use our
link to sign up you can get $25 towards
a new device or your first bill so check
it out so thank you for tolerating all
three
parts of server room upgrade blog I hope
you guys enjoyed it as much as I did if
you disliked these videos hit that
dislike button but if you like them hit
the like button get subscribed maybe
consider checking out where to buy the
stuff we featured at the link in the
video description huge shout out to
Bonded logic cable mod trendnet
cableorganizer.com those guys were
instrumental and helping us figure out
how to do the cable management stuff and
supplying us with all that gear that we
needed and uh sincer hope I'm not
forgetting anybody but I have a feeling
that I am all right thank you guys for
watching subscribe and merch store and
all that stuff I am freaking
exhausted
