Transcripts

our editor Emily just picked up this

sick camper van but she's got one small

problem not a single gaming PC in sight

but fear not for DJI have sponsored our

effort to transform her mobile grass

touching machine into the greatest RGB

ified rage tracing Corner camping camper

van that has ever existed of course it's

not going to be easy you see computers

constantly get destroyed in transit and

the PCS here are going to be permanently

in transit meaning we're going to have

to get very creative if we want to build

a setup that is still going to work

after thousands of kilometers down only

sometimes paved Canadian logging roads

like any self-respecting gamer couple

Emily and hero expect to be able to play

at the same time which means that our

systems are going to have to be

extremely efficient without putting out

too much heat given the relative space

constraints which by the way aside from

power and

heat space is clearly at a premium Now

an obvious solution to this would be to

use laptops but come on guys this is

lonus Tech tips damn it so we're going

to need some full fat PCS and maybe a

projector setup for some casual moving

watching huh yes our original plan was

to take advantage of both of these

chairs right here so they can just

swivel around we've got a table right

here and it should be very great for

space only problem is

not only does this one kind of struggle

with clearance issues both with this

table arm mount and the door but if I

could get it turned all the way around I

would have nowhere to put my feet other

than here because of the fridge that's

under this bench moving that not the

easiest but that's no problem we've got

lots of Gaming Chairs kicking around

we're just going to put one of these in

here and uh I think I have a better idea

when we first looked at this this bed

was just a bed but now it

[Music]

is come

on also a couch now all we need is a

table hey look at that now we just need

somewhere to put the PCS okay now my

understanding is you guys have actually

designed something in solid works right

yes can we take a look y very cool so

what I'm looking at is intakes on the

front two machines side by side almost

desk PC like and then we've got what

appears to be some kind of vent or

shroud at the back that's for the power

supplies and on the bottom we have

vibration dampers do you know what the

best part is though

W it'll be all locked up right in here

and here it is that looks great did we

do that on the Avid CNC oh yeah looks

beautiful all right all we got to do is

put some computers on it divide and

conquer you do one I do the other I

can't believe the kind of Hardware we

went with for these we're going 7800

x3ds we're talking eight of the fastest

gaming cores on the planet we've got

these super cute mini ITX b650 boards

from

ASRock speaking of do these have EDP out

is that what I'm looking at on the back

here Graphics output one HDMI one EDP

that is so cool so you can output to

like a like a laptop monitor that

doesn't have its own built-in scaler

just go straight to it also got an m.2

slot back here for a total of two we've

gone with 32 gigs of Corsair Vengeance

DDR 56000 which has probably got you

guys thinking gee lonus that's a pretty

normal gaming PC so far what exactly is

it that makes this thing

camping ah well aside from going with

the 3D vcash version of our ryzen 7 CPU

which is lower TDP and is therefore

going to consume less power and kick out

less heat we've also gone with this

Cooler Master 1100 wat 80 plus Platinum

power supply small and efficient and

we've gone with okay I know it's

controversial but an RTX 4060 TI is it

the best bang for the buck no but is it

the best efficiency for the

buck if not as close it's efficient it's

very close let's not put in the buck bit

hold on a second Alex you told me to

mount my IO facing this way but you

mounted your I/O facing the other way

well the gpus have to go here and here

that makes sense reasons here's an idea

I found some 632 thumb screws and we

could kind of go his and hers with it

now it's time for our GPU but I have to

assume the the fans go up right correct

good so how is that going to work cuz

the slots like that so if you look at

these holes they correspond to the ones

in our back plate

ooh so it's getting hard mounted

straight to this not going anywhere it

was actually super easy to do this we

used our 3D scanner to just 3D scan this

boom Chuck and solid work done thank you

wine scan wait you're screwing right

into the cooler of the GPU through the

back plate yes what about the pcie Riser

oh it goes through here yeah so it goes

up down around and then in I'd ask if

you have a better idea but it's way too

late for that uh maybe not the spring

loaded boy I think those ones are fine

but the ones in the center around the

die we are not touching you're stressing

me out Alex you do realize why are you

stressed because you are stressing me

out I'm sorry was I not explicit enough

this is a Flawless plan that we're going

to execute flawlessly just like that

line you hear that little GPU you're

about to get excluded are these washers

just to stack up so they're not too long

what no I don't think you know what

you're doing how are we supposed to

screw these in oh and you didn't do the

thermal pad oh right sorry my bad that's

the problem the thermal pad is not

really serving a thermal purpose it's

more just an anti vibration pad not that

it really matters in this

case I do have to say I am incredibly

impressed by how well this lines up what

I've only got two hands well it's not

going

anywhere and like I've seen so many

times like this is attached to a bracket

and this is attached to something else

and next thing you know your gpus on the

side of the road out of the FedEx truck

sure yeah anyway not going to happen

here I have to tape my pcie extension

we're going to be taping kind of all of

our cables we don't want over a long

amount of time the vibrations of the

truck rubbing that thing against this

that goes a little something

like that there we go do we want to test

it here or do we want to just throw it

in the van and hope for the best oh we

throw it in the van we hope for the best

all right let's do that okay I can see

why the futon conversion doesn't go that

smoothly this hole looks like they cut

it with their teeth you know Emily

there's a such thing as a as a

ruler look at this cool power supply

bracket this is awesome how is this made

is this just 3D printed yeah just 3D

printed 2200 watts in what is I mean

basically about the size of a regular

ATX power supply oh God this is really

cramped dude go left a bit yeah I see

that power switches okay all right I I

got you I got you okay well we've got

dual 120 mm aiio from Corsair chalk full

of RGB this is going to look sick it's

going to look ridiculous y sick

ridiculous wait I noticed Emily

inherited more things that were supposed

to be from my minivan these expensive

cables that Alex ordered these are

trippy I asked for more of those for

your Minivan and you're like I don't

need them oh display port USB and then

their USBC on the other side kind of

thing super cool so it allows you to run

a USBC so like a display port alt mode

display off of a regular display port

GPU so we're going to have just one

cable going to our monitors it's awesome

my badminton grip wrapping skills are

coming in handy here we really could

have done this more easily I don't know

about you guys but I think this is going

great same LT

where Jank meets you know that's kind of

awesome not bad now all we got to do is

St it

down I guess before we do that uhhuh

should we put on the coolers and just

like make sure it works sure why are

aios a good idea in a space like this

they're an okay idea in this space you

can definitely get more cooling for the

amount of height that we've got above

the CPU socket here right like you can

see if this was down flat

in order for us to have our countertop

on top of it we've only got about this

120 mm fan which you might think okay

means well sure you could have a 120 mm

cooler but not really right cuz you got

to have heat pipes and stuff sticking

out of there so this allows us to get

way more cooling surface area on the CPU

socket than we could otherwise have

there's that but also vibrations was a

really big consideration uh how do we

power this I noticed that this extension

cable does not do anything do you

remember who our sponsor is yeah DJI ji

so see oh

Lordy I do see them be some lead acid

batteries suckers inverter solar charger

all of that junk we are going to leave

it cuz some of the systems we just want

to know for sure will just run and not

be our fault if they stop

working but this will power the

computers this will be like the

computers the RGB all of the fun stuff

coming off of this cool so we can just

turn it on then I assume yeah all right

let's let's try and fire them up oh that

looks flipping awesome this is sick so

legit what is a Zen

screen this isn't gaming is it it isn't

technically gaming but also it's, 1600p

and 120 HZ so might as well be gaming so

it's a portable monitor yep right but

also you've got a stand for it yep and

that's just like a/ quarter inch so you

could kind of Mount this on anything

yeah very cool wow okay cool it's got

inputs on both sides

that's legitimately really handy for a

portable monitor I mean you know how

display port is it probably won't work

so I'm going to reboot it just in case

just just hold on just hold on it's

going to work it looked like it Wasing

way it's going to work if what we were

trying to do was get the screen to

restart over and over again hey mission

accomplished wow that looks

great yeah and we hot glued down the

spacers so that we don't have to worry

about them moving around as we put all

the stuff in I guess we figured out the

GPU priority output issue do you want to

know what the problem was bio setting

someone didn't put the pcie riser in all

the

way you built that one no you built that

one no you built that one oh look I

definitely that's my Tesa tape job right

there on this side no I built that one

no I built this one right here this is

without a doubt my Riser uhoh I may not

have a counter to

that oh yeah no this is definitely mine

you didn't take off your peel yeah okay

yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep easy fix

yeah that's great I've been tasked with

extending the length of the power button

lead on one of the systems cuz right now

he no reach um but rather than going and

finding exactly these colors of wires in

this gauge I found a dead power supply

so I'm going to hack it together y

ha all right we're good we have two

computers and they both

work I shouldn't have given him this

side quest we have a lot of actually

important things to do in that van I'm

having fun not my finest work but

realistically if Alex wanted my finest

work he wouldn't ask me on a Friday we

are now roughly like 40% through the

time that we have with

lonus and we have gotten

this you say that like it's a bad thing

I'm having fun yeah I'm having

fun can we finally have the fun of

looking at the projector yeah sure that

sounds great heck yeah we can't do it

anywhere than this bed mechanism so I

think we got this yeah look you can look

at our mechanism oh yeah yeah that's

suitably adequate oh oh where's it go

that's why there's a leg hey oh how how

you how you doing oh oh oh hey that's

pretty no way yeah we used the magnetic

cable management and look how solid that

is that is freaking

awesome

that's oh man I love it okay so this is

gaming desk land

[Applause]

slash whoa that is not secured to

anything I guess this is what we're

doing

yes nice ooh this is cute this is that

little Ben Q projector right yeah

1080p small Auto Keystone autofocus and

I love this 3D printed mount for it did

you guys use the 3D scanner for this

again we did it's like perfect though

yeah it has no right to be this perfect

so basically it's just going to go up

here we bolt that in and we're g tog is

this plugged into the DJI is it ready to

power on yep oh hi yeah she's she's

doing great she's doing great yeah it's

uh it's not laser which is good but it

is bright oo it comes with a little

Streaming Stick so about that the first

thing you have to do when you open this

up is take the side off and just Jam the

Streaming Stick inside of it and that's

how you get a smart

projector please don't make me hold this

while you log into

Google oh yeah oh yeah bud oh yeah bud

oh she's in there she's great hold on

hold

[Music]

on she's great like you were saying yeah

yeah yeah that's what I was saying that

was the demo I was doing it's it's

[Music]

good all right I am happy with it

it's actually not that bad in a perfect

world what you would do in a situation

like this is you would either use an

ultra short throw projector but we

couldn't really do that cuz it would

have to be here or what you would do is

you would use a mirror so you use a

higher end projector you'd Bounce It Off

the one side and then you we're not

doing that so that's the size of their

screen this is cool though because I

guess the idea here is that when we want

the gaming setups we just pop the

monitor arm on onto it yeah and it just

what uh locks into place somehow and

there's a little screw the screw is kind

of annoying perfect okay and then when

we don't want it we just put the little

cover on and I guess we would do that

whenever we want to fold the table up

yeah so we just actually took the bottom

of this stand yep and just screwed it in

right there

oh it's not the dumbest thing well

that's the goal right yeah you don't

want to build the dumbest thing unless

that's what you set out to do that's on

there and he adjusts oo PIV oh uh are

you mangling it it doesn't pivot it does

not pivot no but it

tilts I mean anything pivots if you push

it hard enough realistically 99% of the

time they're probably just going to use

the little built-in flippy stand but hey

at least we thought of this this is

really starting to come together isn't

it yeah it's not too bad is there a plan

to keep this up here uh there's a couple

of different things we could do so

that's a long way of saying no

yes these things are legitimately

extremely flexible you can use them for

on-site power which is obviously what

we're doing with them but if you only

need something like that very

occasionally they can also operate in

UPS mode which is as simple as just

plugging it in and leaving it plugged in

with all of your devices running off of

the DJI power 1000 in the event of a

power outage it switches fast enough

that even something like a connected

computer won't experience a loss of

power and it also has quiet charging and

dual 140 W type c ports that can charge

two 16-in MacBook Pros to 50% in just 30

minutes pretty cool so you're really not

going to like the plan for mounting

these we're just going to screw these

into the floor and then strap them down

well I was planning on going into these

2x4s

but uh okay so what we're doing this by

hand then we probably should pre-drill

it I hate you so much I don't hate you

actually that's good I genuinely like

you not right now is that secured that

thing up there what thing that thing on

the thing oh okay cool yeah if it falls

it'll probably hurt okay no no I'll have

my feet here to catch it how's it

going two of these will run their gaming

rigs for over 3

hours one of them will run their gaming

rigs for about 2 and 1/2 hours really so

5 hours with two of them that's freaking

awesome and in the future if they ever

wanted to add like solar p PS on the

roof of the van or something like that I

know oh wait they have them already oh

sick so they can charge these off solar

during the day game all night correct

that's the life baby all right awesome

man I can't believe these take the place

of these gigantic batteries all of this

crap over here and it's all just

self-contained dang lithium you cool hey

I remembered how they work go team well

that's not going anywhere ah oh yeah

butd sick man when you're not gaming you

can run off these things for a long

freaking time we've been using this to

power everything in the van for the

entire shoot and we're still at 51% do I

need a special cable to daisy chain

these things together no just that oh I

oh wow so it really is as simple as just

a standard C13 power connection on the

one so you just plug that into the

charging port and then you just go to

the AC out put on the other one yep oh

all right well that's pretty simple then

cool it's also super nice that these get

charged just using a standard C13 cable

some other battery Banks you have to use

like a power brick and a special adapter

and crap all that's integrated into this

so just boom use this you're done before

we get to tidying everything up to

reveal to Emily we got to try out the

passenger seat gaming setup though hold

on let me just see if I can ah get in

here it's not really meant to be climbed

into from the outside I don't think

this is not bad do we have a mouse pad

for this though we do oh yes the stealth

mouse pad from LTD store.com if you

don't like any unsightly branding this

is the mouse pad for you it's the same

high quality mouse pad you've come to

know and love with absolutely no

branding on it okay this oh oh it's oh

it's quite adjustable oh that's not bad

all

right this is kind of an awesome little

display dude oh

yeah like like it kind of

rocks 1600p and 120 HZ pretty sick oh

yeah we don't even have the top on it

yet and it's really quiet that's pretty

freaking good just putting some little

finishing touches on it so it's nice and

ready for the big reveal I'm just scared

about

[Laughter]

trying he's so

sketchy oh bud I'm I got lots of room

room bud I got lots of room all right

here we

go this is scary yeah scary I don't know

what it's going to be all right he made

it out that's fine it's not broken so

we're good your gaming dream machine has

pulled into the station come come come

come come come come come come come come

come first of all I would like you guys

to notice that Alex is not just sitting

backwards in the front seat go go go

look he is gaming oh backwards in the

front seat hell

yeah oo all right okay that's pretty

cool so far I like that what we got we

got curtains you got curtains got a

gaming Alex did you just say curtains

because I think you mean

RGB look at the fans though those wait

what look at the fan that's so cool wait

that's

awesome y it's so cool so there's two

full PCS in here well what we're just

going to put one no it just it looks

cooler than I thought I thought it would

look way more Jank than Alex are you

going to take that are you going to sit

there and take that like it's fair

enough but wait there's more once we

stash this away obviously you've got to

be wondering where's the second system

at well we don't want just one of you to

be able to game remember you guys talked

about how this bed is also a futon yeah

well now this bed is also a

foo a desk

that's sick let's go oh my God I'm going

to have you guys try it okay so up here

you're going to find your gaming

peripherals did you guys notice the RGB

the RGB is so much better than it was so

you got to grab your USBC cable it's a

one cable solution it does build power

and display port to your monitor sick

there you go love that it's on the side

where is it nice and convenient let's

see some gamer

skills gaming camper van let's go

that's the Crosshair I got that thank

you you you should see her play

OverWatch no not everyone has played

these two levels of Doom Eternal a

thousand times like I

have hell yeah pretty smooth though

right this is running amazing and

honestly this monitor is fantastic it's

small but yeah another word for small is

compact but wait there's

more W this is

you put a game in front of a gameer just

sorry my brain cannot just zone out

okay okay we've got another

trick that's awesome movie night okay

so the projector is not Ultra short

throw oh so don't be disappointed when

it's not quite the whole size

but look it's bigger than the screen you

had before okay this is true this is

true so you just open up this bad boy

it's better than an iPad that's what

we're up against we're up against an

iPad would you believe that none of this

is feigned these guys actually sight on

scene just allowed us to do whatever to

their van it was kind of scary it was

very

scary this is fantastic like I would

game on this this versus IAD

ah okay big

bezels but we didn't have a hydraulic

press to put it in so there was no way

to make it smaller of course you know

you're not necessarily going to game

when it's you know time to spend quality

time on the couch watching a movie for

sure so go ahead and shut her down and

we can watch our favorite movie crab

[Music]

R the I'm actually so surprised by the

speakers on that projector that's sick

not too bad and when you don't want to

look at it boom there you go of course

we haven't even shown you guys the best

part yet under where you guys are

sitting you now have up to 2200 watts of

output the ability to tap into your

existing solar system in order to charge

them we didn't want to mess with what

you kind of had here currently so that's

something that you guys are going to

kind of want to figure out in the future

and simple just C13 plug-in charging

whenever you guys are at home nice

they're a little on the heavy side and

the mounting system for them

is in

there oh yeah there you but that's a lot

of power you guys got sitting under here

and what's great is they're pretty much

exactly the same form factor as your

existing batteries so if you guys ever

decide to ditch these you can just put

those right where those are and you can

get all your storage space back cool

that's really cool so cool oh is there

an even bester part what is this this

looks awesome what is this well you know

you don't want just RGB fans right there

so someone can be like what the heck is

that and go and steal your gaming

computer so we have a privacy panel here

you go oh oh my God's it what is this oh

my gosh it's the what of course you had

to bring the worst part about rocket

leag you got your rocket League this is

amazing we had to cut out the fans so we

got some holes out of that and they were

coaster sized so we made you some

coasters oh no no what

no why you guys can game on these

systems just off of battery for about 5

hours continuously although we found out

the RGB draws like close to 150 watts so

maybe turn those off oh go RGB gaming

massive thanks for real to DJI for

sponsoring this Tech makeover by the way

you can fast charge drones on it I don't

know if you hit that talking point super

cool we couldn't have done it without

them if you guys enjoyed this video you

might enjoy the time that we checked out

a boat
