Highlights

Kyle set out to use his engineering knowhow and AMD's money to build the world's most powerful gaming table with two computers

The table has a recess playing surface with a removable topper to convert it into a dining table when not gaming

The table was inspired by Couteau Gaming's design to store the removable table topper within the table legs

Kyle designed the table to fit two gaming PCs, one in each leg for symmetry and extra cooling benefits

The hardware holding the table together includes threaded inserts, horizontal bars, and grub screws

They build two high-end gaming PCs with AMD Ryzen 7700X CPUs and Radeon 7800/7900 GPUs

The PCs connect to monitors upstairs via long optical cables through holes in the walls and floors

Kyle uses the table for D&D with powered USB-C screens that will magnetically attach to the tabletop

The finished table looks amazing with the red playing surface, removable accessories, and embedded PCs

Kyle's new dual monitor setup includes a 3440x1440 165Hz QD OLED with incredible image quality

They use optical cables, USB extenders, and in-wall wiring for noiseless, long distance connectivity

The final gaming setup with high-end PCs built into the table looks awesome and performs incredibly

The project took a long time but they transformed the space with a custom gaming table and battlestations

The systems may be overpowered for Minecraft and It Takes Two but deliver an ultimate experience

play00:10

not this

play00:12

table this table

gaming table one computer not enough two

play00:28

computers sounds good

play00:30

play01:31

this area is like kids Central mate um

play01:34

it's my kid was the first product tester

play01:37

for that thing realistically though I'm

play01:39

not upset about this what I'm upset

play01:40

about is that engineering sample don't

play01:43

see the ABCs of gaming it's in the kids

play01:44

bedroom cuz we read it to them every

play01:46

night before they go to sleep you do

play01:49

play02:09

Elijah gets it I don't freaking what do

play02:11

you mean there's hope is this at all

play02:13

plasma yes wow so I had a choice of

play02:17

building two computers or upgraded the

play02:19

TV I haven't won a TV in the last three

play02:21

Christmas parties and I'm hoping to win

play02:23

a TV at some point it does the job as

play02:25

1080p so my sound system is I think a

play02:27

Best Buy special it's Precision order I

play02:29

wouldn't swear by it it produces sound

play02:33

it's definitely not stolen from work

play02:35

yeah I mean our company didn't exist

play02:37

when that TV came out realistically I

play02:39

wasn't going to find anything until the

play02:41

tech Corner fiber optic display port

play02:43

cable AMD paid for it oh oh it's part of

play02:45

okay yeah it's part of the upgrade

play02:46

there's no way that you're not over your

play02:48

allocation of screwdrivers hold on this

play02:50

is the second one that was made stolen

play02:53

it no that's a test thing how can I make

play02:56

the screwdriver and not you don't even

play02:57

work in this department to us I

play03:00

specifically put as much LT merch

play03:02

everywhere sprinkled around the house so

play03:05

every time the camera pans there's LTT

play03:07

merch and this guy's whing about how

play03:08

much LTT mer I'm clothed by your company

play03:12

so I won this at the Christmas party

play03:13

before lonus says this is his I broke

play03:16

the power switch when I assembled it and

play03:19

to open this again is such a pain in the

play03:22

freaking bum hole that instead of trying

play03:24

to open it again I just pulled the wires

play03:26

out and now I hotwire the PC to turn it

play03:28

on and off the LTT cap was in that whole

play03:30

b-roll frame I I'm not good with caps

play03:33

mate you don't even take stuff that

play03:34

you're going to use and why did you

play03:36

shave there is what all right why did he

play03:39

shave this will be the video where I

play03:40

explain it then I booked a Hydra facial

play03:43

what the freak is a Hydra facial it's

play03:44

like a facial treatment the point is

play03:47

that it costs the same whether they just

play03:49

do half of your face or whether they do

play03:50

your whole face now I don't want to

play03:52

troll origin but their systems not that

play03:55

cheap there's no way you bought this no

play03:57

I one a Christmas party no wait is this

play03:59

one of those laptops that has the two

play04:01

power bricks the two power bricks it

play04:03

weighs a ton it's literally got like

play04:04

desktop Hardware in it you know when you

play04:06

said you were a gamer I thought you

play04:07

might play somewhat more advanced games

play04:10

I guess this makes sense though 3 years

play04:12

to design screw driver I paid for that

play04:14

one of those might be from the

play04:17

office it was cheaper than buying a

play04:20

server rack okay it works look this even

play04:23

slides in and out you could have just

play04:25

stolen one from work like everything

play04:26

else I didn't steal anything from work

play04:28

you found nothing from work I've stolen

play04:30

no his phrasing you found nothing from

play04:33

work that I've stolen ah we found Kyle's

play04:37

games those were the kids games upstairs

play04:39

I understand now wow no wonder you need

play04:42

a gaming table uh there's more there for

play04:44

all these Miniatures that you haven't

play04:45

bothered to paint the game's just as

play04:47

functional if you just play with the

play04:48

gray ones right yes eventually I'll

play04:51

paint it I've only been in this house

play04:52

for about 40 minutes and I've already

play04:55

heard I'll get to it enough times to

play04:57

last an entire marriage hi how long did

play04:59

it take you to upgrade your first house

play05:01

upgrade it yeah before you employed the

play05:03

whole company to work on your new one

play05:04

yeah it took a while I mean you

play05:05

prioritize your own stuff this is nice

play05:08

this was a Kickstarter actually uh we

play05:10

needed a custom board gaming solution

play05:12

and this is just steel frame with

play05:16

shelves that you can change the height

play05:17

this cost uh after shipping about

play05:21

$1,300 it's a lot of money for a shot be

play05:24

careful what I

play05:26

know what this is finished it's finished

play05:29

painstakingly sanded and Polished I get

play05:32

it did I touch anything okay listen bro

play05:33

but you're like let's go let's sand it

play05:35

yolo all the freaking time with you

play05:37

can't do this with this thing it took

play05:39

like two freaking years let the record

play05:42

show how carefully I lifted this without

play05:45

so much as jostling it against anything

play05:47

else let the record show of all the

play05:50

times lus has dropped oh my how do you

play05:54

do that you just let the record show

play05:57

okay that they're not a lot of dings and

play06:00

scratches on the stuff in my house I

play06:02

know when to be careful with something

play06:03

what are you talking about isn't there

play06:04

massive goues in your

play06:06

bedroom oh my that didn't sound

play06:09

good this is a good time to explain how

play06:12

this table came to be well when a daddy

play06:14

tree loves a mommy tree oh pardon me

play06:17

I've

play06:19

uh but the record show it was not me who

play06:22

dropped anything all I was saying is if

play06:24

it doesn't fit in the hole find a

play06:25

different hole don't try and force it

play06:27

into the hole okay I I literally

play06:31

explained Kyle look here have a seat I'm

play06:34

calm okay look I'm sit on your sit on

play06:36

your calmness blanket no but I can't sit

play06:39

cuz my ass is full of

play06:43

stuff okay my back pockets are full of

play06:46

stuff that's not better I have two SC if

play06:49

you have a problem just get a colostomy

play06:51

bag I got to be honest with you uh this

play06:53

does not appear to be pre-tapped I don't

play06:55

see place where this

play06:57

goes oh yeah it doesn't go in there

play07:00

sorry I'm going to have to take the L on

play07:03

that one um no you need to put them in

play07:05

this we no we can understand now that

play07:07

it's very obvious when designing this

play07:09

table I did what I always do I kind of

play07:11

look for inspiration so I did a Google

play07:13

search for what's already out there and

play07:16

kind of came up with an amalgamation of

play07:18

two that I really like I knew I wanted a

play07:22

table that was a POA style table one

play07:24

with a recess plane surface however I

play07:27

like my tables to be multifunctional so

play07:29

so I also wanted to have a system that I

play07:31

can put on top very similar to the table

play07:33

that we destroyed in the intro where you

play07:35

could have a board game in the middle

play07:37

and you can put the topper on top and

play07:39

now have a normal dining room table now

play07:42

the question is what do you do with that

play07:44

topper when you're playing because if

play07:46

you notice the big topper that lonus and

play07:48

Elijah walked in earlier in the video

play07:51

when we had to take it off the table it

play07:52

needed two people and then we had to

play07:54

like put it against the wall and was

play07:55

awkward as flip so the first inspiration

play07:57

was from a fow Canadian by the name of

play08:00

caute gaming if I bushed the name

play08:02

whatever they designed a system to house

play08:06

the table toppers within the legs of the

play08:09

table which is way better than just

play08:11

throwing it on the floor now eventually

play08:14

eventually I will have dividers that

play08:15

will hold this in place you can see how

play08:17

the actual slats rest yeah there'll be

play08:19

three on this side and three on this

play08:21

side you will have a perfect triangle in

play08:25

between the three leaves from each side

play08:28

so you're going to put a computer there

play08:29

so I designed it with one computer in

play08:31

here to slide

play08:34

in okay but then I thought well the

play08:38

other leg is going to be awfully lonely

play08:41

so we may as well just make it

play08:43

symmetrical and stick another one of

play08:46

these on the other flipping

play08:48

side huh nice legs thank you I work on

play08:51

them every day what's the next piece

play08:56

y ready yep oh oh it fell into one slot

play09:00

that's not in mine you are not wrong

play09:03

that's the nicest thing he's ever said

play09:05

to me oh I numbered

play09:07

it oh yeah that look pretty cool

play09:10

hey nice

play09:14

nice oh my gosh took me too long to get

play09:17

these are uh six-sided dice right so if

play09:19

you turn them if you turn them up like

play09:21

on one of the things there's numbers see

play09:23

that's why I thought they were dice do

play09:24

you roll them like as a bottle Flip or

play09:26

like a oh balls no can you have four and

play09:29

lus have one please okay well here's two

play09:31

no no I want no no oh my give him number

play09:34

four you take number one that's not

play09:37

number four I think number one where's

play09:38

your bathroom now is probably a good

play09:40

time to talk about the hardware that's

play09:42

holding everything together what we have

play09:44

is these threaded inserts with these

play09:46

horizontal bars that thread in to the

play09:49

machine screw side of the threaded

play09:50

insert then you face this d10 portion

play09:54

upright and then you insert these into

play09:57

something that rests over here then it

play09:59

goes

play10:01

into oh God I think the wood took less

play10:04

damage than the ceiling you could just

play10:05

have us move stuff and then it just

play10:07

might not get damaged ooh got

play10:11

him you put this inside the hole here

play10:15

and just slide it in and it sits there

play10:18

all that's needed is a grub screw inside

play10:22

the top of this and it holds legendary

play10:25

back Force machine screw not even

play10:29

holding it lt.com knock to a screwdriver

play10:33

it's on there now now I need you to drop

play10:36

these inside the big hole with the Holy

play10:40

side facing the Audi side okay let me

play10:42

check if it's the holy

play10:44

side I guess we got it

play10:47

nice I'm just going to do the other one

play10:49

cuz this is going to be quicker called

play10:51

parallelization maybe we would have

play10:52

finished the screwdriver faster if you'd

play10:54

used it if I remember correctly someone

play10:55

had a midlife crisis halfway through it

play10:57

and made me redesign part of the the

play10:59

freaking uh bit storage system sorry I

play11:01

have a lot of pent up rage I don't like

play11:03

all this fighting no it's good it's not

play11:04

real fighting we're not really going to

play11:06

get divorced that's what my last parents

play11:08

said quick question for you were we

play11:10

supposed to put the dowly things in on

play11:13

some of them there's more holes drilled

play11:15

that I needed what's your name

play11:18

Elijah I put like five extra holes in

play11:21

someone's wall what he's actually really

play11:24

nice he's so nice such a nice guy

play11:26

otherwise Elijah wouldn't have walked

play11:27

out of there in one piece after

play11:30

don't move it is this a bad time for

play11:32

another Madagascar

play11:34

reference move it I like to move it move

play11:38

it oh King

play11:40

Julian that's not screwing in very

play11:42

nicely what we need to do right now is

play11:45

flip why are the two strong guys on one

play11:48

side oh Lordy looks good thank you it's

play11:53

at this spot what happened no if he sees

play11:55

it he'll never unsee it I am going to

play11:56

see it the second you move your hand

play11:58

anyway he said standing there all day

play12:00

hey sweetie we might need the the the

play12:04

that is a beautiful table thank you we

play12:06

put it together oh I'm sure you worked

play12:07

really hard yeah we did yeah I just he

play12:09

giggling and swearing upstairs really

play12:11

cuz the only person you were up there

play12:12

with was uh the baby the last thing that

play12:15

needs to happen is I need to put like a

play12:17

million pocket screws all around the

play12:20

bottom of the table to hold the rails to

play12:22

the plywood you know that it's not a

play12:24

pool table though right uh so why do you

play12:26

need pocket screws there's no pockets

play12:30

can't argue with that logic line is

play12:32

Sebastian folks he'll be here all day

play12:34

yeah I will there is way more extras

play12:36

than just the table on float plane lmg

play12:38

Dogg floatplane go check it out

play12:40

basically me Kyle and lonus kill each

play12:41

other for an hour it's great I have a

play12:43

really important question how are we

play12:44

going to measure and Trace out on the

play12:46

fabric now that You' put the whole table

play12:48

together I thought we were going to

play12:49

trace the plywood onto the fabric uh

play12:52

that sounds like a you problem it's your

play12:55

table it's a you problem you'll figure

play12:56

it out my angel you really smart he

play12:58

seems stressed no I'm fine I'm not

play13:01

stressed this is just my does he have

play13:03

like a favorite meal or something I'm

play13:05

fine our problem here is that we don't

play13:08

have an edge that we can trust like

play13:10

typically that's my crutch is I'll just

play13:12

grab one that I can say okay yeah that's

play13:15

definitely straight but this one is just

play13:16

ragged as hell I don't think it's even

play13:17

going to fit under there yeah that was

play13:19

him cutting it at work with a random

play13:20

pair of scissors so that means we are

play13:22

going from scratch ass balls

play13:26

here what Kyle y i really hate to be

play13:29

that guy what what's up but I genuinely

play13:31

think that we should probably be popping

play13:33

this off and the best way to tension

play13:37

this is probably going to be to run the

play13:39

screws through it why no why do you need

play13:41

to tension it look at it yeah I'm

play13:44

looking at

play13:46

it this is something you knew already

play13:49

isn't it we talked about it yeah you put

play13:52

under and now it's fine oh I'm going to

play13:54

just pick up my cards here's what we're

play13:57

going to do Elijah and I are going to go

play14:00

build some computers and Kyle is going

play14:02

to undo a lot of screws I was hoping to

play14:04

build the computer today but he didn't

play14:06

finish the table

play14:08

so you decided I didn't to build the

play14:12

camera nickl did don't he suggested it

play14:15

this is your video you had full thing to

play14:17

be for fun we've decided to do this as a

play14:19

challenge I'm going to be building

play14:21

Kyle's machine while that it was 30

play14:23

minute

play14:24

build builds Leon except I apparently

play14:29

I'm getting thrown a bit of a curveball

play14:31

because I have to pull the AO cooler out

play14:33

of Kyle's current PC and you just have

play14:35

to build a computer yes also we both

play14:37

have only this space to work that's fine

play14:39

I call the table also curve ball for You

play14:43

Leon has some hard drives inside her

play14:45

machine that she would like inside hers

play14:47

nice he called Leon's machine this is

play14:49

mine it was it has an asset tag for this

play14:51

computer give it man these are nice

play14:53

machines ryzen 7

play14:56

7700x eight cores Zen 4 b650 I aorus

play15:01

Ultra motherboard I got to say I'm

play15:04

finding the size of these computers a

play15:06

little confusing given that we're using

play15:08

uh little tiny motherboards but shout

play15:12

out Kyle chivalrous almost every other

play15:17

his and hers element of these upgrades

play15:19

that I've seen before she has gotten a

play15:21

like B tier upgrade while he has kept

play15:25

the best stuff for himself these are

play15:27

both the same so far yeah I think

play15:29

they're both the same throughout but

play15:31

we'll find out I guess as we go see he's

play15:33

not all bad hear that Kyle I have been

play15:36

downstairs 5 minutes and I think I've

play15:37

heard five insults apparently I chose a

play15:40

more powerful computer for me and then

play15:42

threw my wife out of the bus and got her

play15:43

some cheap that's not at all what we who

play15:46

that's not what at all we said but

play15:47

thanks for admitting it hey Kyle what

play15:49

kind of display did you get was it a

play15:50

monitor or a projector brother look I

play15:53

got the alien I got the alien wear one

play15:55

that plof sucket what I know what kind

play15:59

of display you got okay then why did you

play16:02

ask cuz you're projecting I don't know

play16:04

what that

play16:05

means I don't see built computers why

play16:08

don't you talk less and work more I

play16:09

don't see a finished table that's your

play16:11

fault that's your fault damn I didn't

play16:15

know he got an oven as an upgrade cuz

play16:18

you're getting roasted good choice of

play16:20

ram though DDR 56000 cl32 well-

play16:24

configured system you got to help with

play16:26

this hey do you doubt my ability so much

play16:28

that icon come up with a SP he did get

play16:30

help didn't he no I didn't they also got

play16:32

the 990 Pro the 2 tbte version in each

play16:34

of these Kyle's is already pre-installed

play16:36

so Linus has a bit of Advantage um but

play16:39

yeah that's two terabytes for gaming

play16:41

that's perfect now like that's a lot of

play16:42

storage I really did draw the short STW

play16:44

here in order to get this AIO out I have

play16:47

to get out a whole bunch of stuff behind

play16:48

this motherboard this computer is coming

play16:51

completely apart speaking of Hardware he

play16:53

paid for there is no way that this is

play16:56

under budget what's under budget I'm

play16:57

talking about that I don't think you're

play16:59

within

play17:00

budget which part which part the part

play17:03

where you've got like two high-end

play17:05

gaming PCs I thought I saw a 7900 series

play17:08

GPU in one of them I can promise you

play17:10

right now the computers are within

play17:11

budget I paid for the entire board game

play17:13

table myself ah okay that makes sense

play17:16

see you later no please I just I

play17:18

literally just paid for house cleaning

play17:21

okay to be clear Kyle already had a

play17:24

pretty decent machine ryzen 2600x 1080

play17:27

TI it's just that

play17:29

the new stuff is a lot better when I

play17:33

first got this upgrade I was planning on

play17:34

Thunderbolt but learning from this gu

play17:36

mistakes I just plan to do Straight

play17:39

optical cables so that's why we have

play17:41

that optical cable and that's why that

play17:43

panel is Off the Wall well that panel's

play17:45

off the wall because I haven't closed

play17:46

that panel from when I got heat

play17:48

installed 3 years ago okay you should

play17:50

have um said that it's off so we can run

play17:53

cables yes it's off because we can run

play17:54

cables so the other side of that hole

play17:57

that we just shot comes out on the other

play18:00

side of this wall so all we have to do

play18:01

is run the cable

play18:03

down across the floor to the computers

play18:06

that will sit underneath the

play18:12

table now it's time to figure out where

play18:14

all these ssds are going to go hey Kyle

play18:16

yep do you have three SSD slots on you

play18:19

oh there's one on the back one on the

play18:21

back and then I already have one SSD in

play18:23

there and I believe one can go on the

play18:25

underside of this carrier board oh God

play18:27

he's trying really hard to contribute

play18:28

right now he's doing good I mean I can

play18:29

just go Kyle you are walking living

play18:32

breathing content why do I feel like

play18:34

you're um making content no shut the no

play18:37

what's the what's the word when you

play18:38

taking the piss no not taking um

play18:41

patronize thank you that one I love

play18:45

America okay well we we should I'm not

play18:48

cutting it no no no no the last time I

play18:50

cut this fabric put us in the situation

play18:52

we're in right

play18:56

now how's it going uh um I don't want to

play19:00

say you're right just yet I just was

play19:03

genuinely wondering how it's going cuz

play19:05

check this out yeah that's awesome

play19:07

that's literally exactly what you want

play19:09

and now we don't even have to get the

play19:10

cut perfect cuz we can just haveed Ed

play19:12

you just hide all of it yeah how are

play19:13

these cases to build in so far uh

play19:15

they're triangular there is only one

play19:18

case in the world that would fit the

play19:20

exact design that I did and that's that

play19:22

one what are you compensating for

play19:25

nothing because um I have three kids so

play19:28

it

play19:30

obviously did you test fit if you have

play19:32

enough 8 Pin power connectors for your

play19:34

graphics card on this power supply yes

play19:36

we do well I have different power

play19:37

supplies okay let's use that one then

play19:39

before you use a modular cable from one

play19:41

power supply on another you need to make

play19:43

one 100% damn good and sure that they

play19:46

use the same pin out because otherwise

play19:48

you will destroy what is on the other

play19:49

end of it which is why I Austin check it

play19:51

RMI and axi do not use the same pinout

play19:54

unfortunately fudge um RMI may be able

play19:57

to handle the high trans into this thing

play19:59

though if I have to extract the power

play20:00

supply then I guess I will when you said

play20:02

that I test fit everything it was just

play20:03

user error cuz you could have moved that

play20:05

bracket a little bit to the left but I'm

play20:07

saying if you had test fitted it that

play20:09

bracket would have already been moved

play20:10

yeah but I moved it on that one but not

play20:12

this one cuz I haven't built on this one

play20:14

don't blame the fact that you don't know

play20:15

how to use the case on me did you read

play20:16

the manual it's in Chinese but did you

play20:19

read it I'm not an but it's

play20:21

funny would you guys talking smack about

play20:23

me while I was downstairs we didn't

play20:25

actually please cut to the part where

play20:27

talking smack about how I spec these two

play20:29

machines shout out Kyle these are both

play20:31

the same so far I can't wait till he

play20:33

watches this video I know for his wife's

play20:36

system we have the RX 7800 XT in this

play20:40

case it actually mounts vertically along

play20:42

this side here so he did give her the

play20:44

worst system oh that's true I'm pretty

play20:47

sure I saw 7900 XTX in his I guess okay

play20:51

for the difference in price they could

play20:52

have both gotten XTS but no he had to

play20:54

have the top of the line I see how it is

play20:57

I take back all the nice things I said

play20:58

before my wife doesn't do as much gaming

play21:01

as I do maybe she'd game more if she had

play21:03

a decent GPU hey Glenn if you want to

play21:05

see Power Supply D pinning it's really

play21:08

cool just kidding it sucks 4 to eight

play21:12

yep all right rock on we just made this

play21:15

cable work you see this oh my God what

play21:18

do you have a c19 power cable are youing

play21:22

kidding me all right I have a 1250 watt

play21:25

in my old case I'll just bring it up

play21:28

what you're joking it's 10 years old oh

play21:33

it's it's an FXX power supply when FX

play21:36

XFX when they still used to be a thing

play21:38

which is why I didn't want to use it

play21:40

okay this power supply might be 13 years

play21:43

old but this thing freaking slaps it's

play21:46

80 plus gold 1250 WTS it's actually not

play21:49

even that big like it's that much

play21:52

shorter than the 1500 WT that I just

play21:54

pulled out of here and it's got a hybrid

play21:57

fan mode thing it's seic made here's

play21:59

something cool remember when we did that

play22:02

video on that super cool Honeywell PTM

play22:06

7950 thermal pad material that was like

play22:09

a thermal pad that performed better than

play22:12

thermal paste well guess what we got in

play22:15

touch with the distributor this is

play22:17

actually Kyle's doing and we are going

play22:19

to be selling this right on LT store

play22:22

half of that half of this okay L it

play22:24

would be a little bit too expensive ah

play22:26

got it anyway we're also going to be

play22:28

selling individual 60x 60 pads if you

play22:31

don't want to cut it and when I say 60 I

play22:32

mean 60 mm but basically we're going to

play22:36

have a legit source for this stuff

play22:38

that's actually somewhat reasonably

play22:40

priced for a change so you can use this

play22:43

super cool thermal pad material I cut it

play22:45

way too big oh my goodness for your CPU

play22:47

I cannot for the life of me figure out

play22:49

how to peel these stupid thermal pads

play22:51

anymore pouring it in your fridge for at

play22:54

least a couple of hours before you begin

play22:56

what it's too warm it's a phase change

play22:58

material and it's too liquidy right

play23:02

now oh yes yes yes yes yes yes yes okay

play23:06

face

play23:07

change you want to see if it post post

play23:09

it you're the host with the most post

play23:11

then we shall call you

play23:13

Malone hey posted man this thing is even

play23:17

easy to Cable manage in too cuz like you

play23:20

just hide everything behind your sexy

play23:22

graphics card yep so easy all right

play23:26

we're booting it three two

play23:29

that's a positive sign three drives

play23:31

let's

play23:33

go dude these are heavy so this is it

play23:37

this is it final form baby it's rock

play23:39

solid man so um just across the hallway

play23:43

or yeah it's just over the floor like no

play23:45

no I just mean in in the long run

play23:47

probably just across the floor and just

play23:48

put like a stepping pad or something um

play23:51

any other ideas I realized that this is

play23:53

a little late for me to be coming to

play23:55

this realization but these computers

play23:58

being in the table serves no purpose at

play24:01

all no you could just as easily Huck

play24:03

them in the network closet and then

play24:05

you'd achieve all the same absolutely

play24:07

noise and and cooling benefits UPS

play24:10

absolutely but how cool is it to have

play24:12

two computers in a board gaming table

play24:13

actually I take that back we play DND d

play24:17

a lot and even though we play in person

play24:19

we use an online program to move the

play24:21

characters around a company called

play24:23

wormwood makes pretty much the exact

play24:26

same top I reverse engineered the top

play24:29

from videos they made of how they build

play24:31

it so you ripped it off kind of I

play24:34

reverse engineered it I so you ripped it

play24:36

off I got so close that we found out

play24:39

we're in breach of a patent that they

play24:41

just

play24:41

filed in my defense they hadn't done the

play24:45

patent when I started this project it's

play24:47

been fairly recent so we reached out to

play24:49

them and they were good sports and

play24:51

because of for personal use they were

play24:53

okay with it okay and they were even

play24:55

kind enough to send over what I consider

play25:00

in my humble opinion to be the main

play25:03

reason why I chose the top is the

play25:06

ability to have magnetic attachable

play25:09

accessories okay now you obviously don't

play25:12

want water where you're gaming right

play25:14

right obviously that would be

play25:17

stupid oh you want to you want to move

play25:19

it

play25:22

oh okay that's pretty cool you want it

play25:25

on the inside no problem

play25:29

and to show you how close I got to their

play25:31

design this is from

play25:33

them this is really cool yep but doesn't

play25:36

explain why we need a computer in the

play25:38

table so because we play D and D online

play25:40

we each need screens I see so you know

play25:43

how you did your car and you have those

play25:45

USBC powered screens yes I'm going to

play25:48

embed those into wood play surfaces have

play25:52

them magnet into the table and run the

play25:55

USBC connector into Mr USBC over here it

play25:58

won't you work on that one but you can

play25:59

plug it into the back of the GPU or the

play26:02

back of the GPU yes yeah obviously

play26:04

that's not going to happen now right

play26:05

because the technology doesn't

play26:06

exist I will figure out a way and then

play26:09

we can talk about it but right now

play26:11

they're going to the table because

play26:12

they're going to look sick cool okay

play26:14

that looks awesome though I'm going to

play26:16

take some monitors and new peripherals

play26:17

and I'm going to install them upstairs

play26:20

sounds good a good idea see you later

play26:22

bye I found Kyle's new monitors but I'm

play26:24

not really sure what the configuration

play26:26

is supposed to be

play26:28

Kyle yes so you need that as your

play26:30

secondary even though you have a 34in

play26:33

ultrawide qdl Leed yeah absolutely this

play26:36

is a 165 165 when you overclock it yes

play26:39

oh okay pretty sick monitor what games

play26:40

do you guys play together uh what's that

play26:42

game called where you skate 3 no I play

play26:45

balers gate takes two yeah it takes two

play26:47

you play it takes two wow it only took

play26:48

me two guesses we uh play Minecraft

play26:50

together these are these systems are a

play26:52

little overpowered for it takes two in

play26:53

Minecraft that's fair um I used to play

play26:56

WoW before my

play26:58

okay it's a little overpowered for wow

play26:59

can you tell me something you're going

play27:00

to run that justifies the 7900 XTX do

play27:04

maternal cyber pug cuz that's not

play27:06

optimized I mean yeah are you going to

play27:07

play it no got to love that AMD money I

play27:09

just going to flex it man for the past

play27:11

few weeks I haven't been playing games

play27:12

I've been building board game tables

play27:14

yeah I spend a lot more time setting up

play27:16

my gaming setup than gaming these days I

play27:19

get it it's been a while since I've

play27:20

looked at one of these I'm sure I can

play27:22

figure out how to put it together 3440

play27:24

by

play27:25

1440 165

play27:28

this thing's awesome though thousand

play27:30

nits Peak brightness HDR the only

play27:33

problem for Kyle is that this is the

play27:35

kind of monitor that until you've seen

play27:37

it you don't really feel like I don't

play27:39

really need that you know right but

play27:41

she's going to be right next to it

play27:43

seeing it I think he's going to end up

play27:45

with two bro not all over my new screen

play27:49

I have kids they don't use this keyboard

play27:51

yeah they

play27:56

do these are super super cool we had

play27:58

quite a few people ask us hey we've seen

play28:00

you use Optical display port and Optical

play28:02

HDMI cables to run a longdistance

play28:04

display a lot of times but what about

play28:07

usb these are for mono Price It's called

play28:09

The Blackbird 4K and this one will do up

play28:11

to 50 m over a cat 5e cable and then all

play28:14

you got to do is plug in power at both

play28:17

ends and it'll carry up to four usb2

play28:21

devices so that's perfect for mice and

play28:24

keyboards and things like that even

play28:25

though it isn't going to have the kind

play28:27

of speed that you would want for say you

play28:28

know a USB external SSD of course I mean

play28:32

Kyle do you even need that up here or

play28:34

this is just for gaming this is just

play28:35

forgive then who cares wiggle the cable

play28:37

no not too much just Wile oh good job oh

play28:42

okay I got it I got it thanks D than

play28:44

stop stop okay stop good job Dad we're

play28:48

ready

play28:50

dad oh you know what he does need us to

play28:52

do though he needs us to see if that

play28:54

monitor turns on if you guys see

play28:56

anything turn on on there then you're

play28:58

going to shout it's working okay hey we

play29:00

have one working computer let's go all I

play29:03

had to do was be the one who touched it

play29:05

oh wait wait wait hold on hold on hold

play29:06

on I see I see a crime being committed

play29:09

over here I'm actually in the building

play29:11

and someone other than me is reading the

play29:13

ABCs of gaming for bedtime story am I

play29:16

allowed to read it no all right we'll

play29:19

let your mom do it

play29:20

then yes how many more minutes that do I

play29:23

need your dad for yeah not so long that

play29:27

he can can't come up and tuck you in

play29:28

okay deal yeah okay read I can read okay

play29:33

okay okay B is for button pushing these

play29:35

is fun to do which one's blue do you

play29:38

know good job we've determined that it's

play29:42

probably a GPU driver issue right now on

play29:44

Elijah's machine because Kyle didn't run

play29:46

ddu so he's got both amds drivers and uh
