The Stealthiest Tech Upgrade - AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade

Jake Bell appreciates Cutting Edge

technology but doesn't like to look at

it hence the dinosaur man music discs

and is this your phone brother I don't

make many calls so his goal was simple

to spend every last penny of amd's

$5,000 on a sick Tech upgrade that I

wouldn't be able to find I accept your

challenge no all older more stolen how

about down here Pokémon Ruby my favorite

one Tech deck you're not going to find

anything what about this Wireless

Communications device uh actually this

is pretty old yeah it's got the new

Wi-Fi

3 aha I knew I'd find something old

record but about a new video game that

out damn it there it is how is this

hidden you've got so much stuff there's

a pinball machine how is this the

stealthy upgrade okay we're going to

figure that out but first we got to roll

that intro

[Music]

AMD ultimate Tech upgrade is back which

means it's time for another giveaway

they're going to be giving out three

Sapphire Nitro plus RX 7800 XTS it's a

great card for 1440p high refresh rate

gaming with 16 gigs of video memory all

you have to do is check out our Twitter

which we're going to have linked down

below for a chance to win thanks AMD for

sponsoring this series and for giving

away cool stuff in all seriousness this

probably is a good time to explain

what's going to be stealthy about this

setup my understanding is most of your

upgrade is going to end up hidden inside

the pinball machine that we definitely

didn't accidentally break as we were

bringing it up the stairs

Elijah there's no video proof you have

no evidence it was me true you do have

my track record though did you really

put extra holes in someone's wall again

into his house did Elijah work on this

what won't be hidden is all the stolen

goods from the office that uh yeah you

trying to stand in front of it really

I'm getting a collection the fact that

you're collecting it doesn't make it not

taken debatable the UK would like a word

backpack that's not mine I think that

one's mine that was mine another LT

backpack also not mine one Jonathan

Horst hosted of Mac address help

me I have no explanation oh my God

there's another one of these green water

bottles you have every size mhm there's

no way anyone actually bought a homepod

this has got to be from the office

Christmas party I've got three pictures

lest in my house this one's my favorite

what the hell it's in your bedroom you

got to remember who you're doing it for

well not not it like who you wake up for

in the

morning see I thought he was talking

about this one and I didn't want toake

acknowledge it no the top one what

they're the same Spot the Difference

ones have been kissed twice as

much hey guys and you're having fun but

can the first thing you upgrade please

be the Wi-Fi network uh yeah let's do

that let's let's do that now oh wow

that'll be a big upgrade we're going

ubiquity with the U7 Pro Wi-Fi 7 baby

can you tell Jake help me with my list

of things to upgrade yes I can the

ubiquity are is real to go with that

we've got a UniFi Express so this is

going to be your router looks like an

Apple TV uh let's go ahead and do a

quick before test you have gigabit

internet and this is your Wi-Fi what are

you doing brother not

downloading question for you this has

only got two ethernet ports on it one

going to the ISP box and then one

presumably going to our U7 Pro but Belle

has a wired computer right here do we

have a switch we don't actually have a

switch but these can actually work in

mesh Network oh is this also Wi-Fi 7

yeah this is Wi-Fi 6 oh this is Wi-Fi 7

but they can run in a mesh

mode that sounds like an unnecessary

compromise I also have a switch Belle

has a switch Belle has a switch let's

use it this is part of the upgrade no

you just have a brand new inbox TP Link

switch no I just keep the boxes for

everything really yeah my closet full of

boxes and all my dresser drawers you got

to keep boxes for everything what if you

want to sell it oh we're zooming now

pretty much a gig that's more like it

that is not pretty much a gig but that

is more like it let's go ahead and get

the U7 Pro connected and see how fast

this thing can zoom though lonus wasn't

wrong I did kind of break it carrying it

in but we're going to fix that right now

with some wood glue kind of oh I got to

siphon

it stop what it's not coming out and if

I bang it it closes it it's oh no what

are you doing oh I see getting glue out

I just need a chopstick or something

oh we got incest here

I incense

sorry okay we we got to get it into the

crack yeah it's in there no no you had

it in there no it's not in the crack I'm

in the crack Elijah it's not in the

crack oh do we just nail it in oh it's

in oh is it yeah it was

me oh it's smoking unplug what did you

do what I plugged back in to test if I

could get it working

was this cable uhhuh and this ribbon

cable okay I did not touch anything else

when plugging it back in and I saw the

smoke coming from the bottom corner here

it's dead this right here is an HDMI

port but this cable is not an HDMI

connector do not plug into TVs this is a

pretty common thing especially with

smaller companies where they will reuse

an existing standard port or cable

because they know that it's reliable but

Carrie completely different signals or

even power over it and I think what

happened is we created a power Loop

where we powered this board and then

output power into this board in a way

that it was not intended to be powered

and fried it the good news is Elijah is

not actually dead he'll be up in a

moment and we are going to proceed with

the rest of the upgrade and then Elijah

is going to fix it that will be his

Redemption Arc and we will shoot that at

the end Elijah can I give you a task

that has no electricity yes sir can you

please wall mount that AP also hey can

we do a speed test on that AP now let's

have some good news I'm really sorry

Belle dude your Wi-Fi is bugged 900

megabit your ISP is fine this is what I

get for trust and Jake tyy now it's not

the frame now it's the

door it's a frame it's the frame TV from

Samsung

okay chosen for its

matte screen clean aesthetic before this

I had an s95 B why black rectangle on

your wall

ugly matte artwork

pretty you didn't I went from a 65 in

s95 B to this 55 in Samsung frame with

the teak frame that goes around

it I'm so unhappy right

now that's more like here we

go

boys nice that's pretty sweet the matte

screen is really nice I got to give you

that thank you I just want you guys to

know you're doing great I keep hitting

my head on this stupid wind

chime stop that looks flipping awesome

let's get this cable managed a little

bit we got the LTT store cable ties it's

going to go in the pinball machine this

is going in the pinball machine

everything is this shelf will not be

here what else is going to go in here

the Apple TV the computer itself what

yeah oh I don't know if that's a good

idea you guys

why uh

ventilation well funny that you say that

we actually had Justin test fit

everything beforehand I was just about

to pull this top off and you'll see what

we solved for ventilation we've got two

no a fans in the front here and then

we've got one in the back as well as an

extra hole for cables to run out okay I

don't think that's going to be enough we

did it like this because it would be

like kind of cleaner I didn't want to

punch more holes through it well you

know what it's a pretty minor thing to

go in here after and put in a couple

more fans okay okay cool they're only

fans realistically we weren't ready to

install this yet anyway because that is

not a Radeon 7900 XTX Bel do you want to

get me your new GPU Phantom gaming thank

you you're so welcome wait what is this

this is a 39 90 yeah you already had a

pretty decent GPU I got the only thing

better fair enough all right I like your

broken pcie bracket if there's anything

wrong in there it's Chase's faults he

built me this PC cuz I don't know how to

build a PC well here why am I doing this

then time to install a GPU well there's

a broken bracket in there you're setting

me up for failure no no it makes it

easier where'd you get this is this even

new this looks scuffed yeah but curan

again you told them to get you a us naaz

I will put up the parts list right right

here so you can see oh it's literally

quite Dusty yeah it's got dust bunnies

in it it's I mean 12 tabes of you know

NAS drive storage also did you feel that

power button truly awful that's what

these feel like they have small fingers

so I guess it it's easier that's this

kind of switch well no you can't press

it like that you got to use the Fig it's

not for your thumb yeah well while

you're installing the GPU I'm not

installing the GPU you're installing the

GP are you sticker bumping this sure

it's really good though really fast

great for 4K gaming I mean what else can

I really say about it what else do you

want out of a GPU it's great for high

refresh rate 4K gaming all right holy

this thing is big is this bigger than my

other GPU I believe so yeah I mean not

that it's a competition but yeah it is

and I'm

winning oh these are your stickers for

the qap ooh all right going straight for

Bobby Hill yeah no I shouldn't because I

want Bobby Hill on top okay wo W you

can't plug it in yet you're missing no

oh there you go can I pull it into a

different one you could but I

wouldn't why because that top one is

pcie Gen 5 the card's not pcie Gen 5 but

yeah it's also using 16 Lanes directly

off of the CPU and so those are your

fastest lowest latency bestest Lanes

this actually the first time I've seen

the screwdrive screwdriver shaft

extension where can I buy it short

circuit.com Bella is the channel manager

for short circuit by the way yeah that's

why he's wearing the short circuit

T-shirt oh you're wearing short circuit

too oh yeah look at that we're is the

best merch we have I know you were

feeling some trepidation before but am I

doing a good job you've done five

stickers you didn't even take off the

like instruction thing on the side well

I'm going to cover it that's a sticker

all right balls I will have you know I

am taking so long because I'm trying to

do a good job and let me tell you you

certainly are trying how's the computer

doing we're going to post it right now

and make sure it works all right what

the hell is that picture about why do

you look so unhappy about the money B

why do you have the official short

circuit account on your computer

Resident Evil 4 great

game you can buy that right uh it I have

short short circuit has I think

technically you're actually not supposed

to do that is there something Elijah and

Colin can work on right now uh I have a

really big mirror that I can't hang by

myself it be great if they did is that

part of your upgrade yeah of course

you're just getting free labor it was

not part of your upgrade is it smart

yeah it's a smart mirror what smart

about it I could check that I'm looking

smart how many holes are you going to

put in it twice as many as I need to

when I asked if you had mounting

hardware you just brought over a bag of

everything that you've probably ever

mounted before yeah why would I throw it

away no but I I need the specific

hardware for

it

uh there's

one so it will not be good on the wall

so why don't you just use those Anor

things cuz it's like really heavy and

there's only two of them oh no there's

three what's the worst that could

happen I hope it falls on you good all

right well hey hey hey we did it and I

didn't drill any extra

holes come on in Belle take a look at

your mirror wow it's a little

high it's really high it's not like an

inch too high it's like six in too high

yeah the best part is if you want me to

lower it you're going to have two big

ass holes in your wall oh that's fine

that's pretty

unbrand we did a great job that looks so

sick there you go should we maybe set it

up yes it should already be

preconfigured raid five correct perfect

that means he can lose one of these

drives outright like just you know lose

it I mean I mean if it fails anyway the

point is that he won't lose any data in

that case and that'll leave him with 9

ter terabytes of usable space we were

going to put that inside the pinball

cabinet but then thermal concerns also

yeah it looks great so now it goes on

the Shelf yeah uh oh my gosh I thought

he was going to throw the camera next

what is this membership nice yes thank

you I can read I mean does Samsung

expect you to buy the TV and then buy

artwork they would like that but luckily

I take pictures so I'll just use my own

art oh okay cool let's see uh hm good

job did you take it on an iPhone

4 listen this is helping cuz we have new

camera stuff from andd all right let's

go have a look at the camera stuff then

uh you just got an alpha 6700 is this

good yes I was looking at a couple

different options cuz I want something

that can do video as well as photos

we'll do both very very well and then I

got myself a uh fixed prime lens as well

really you have one good lens and you

went with a prime yes I do a lot of

street

photography

now you have to put I was leaning face

down brother what his did you get his

butt in it yeah no you didn't you need

to get a belt he didn't I I did Pan over

and zoom let's take a picture of the

audience what that that's not that

that's not how that works don't you hate

it when people take way too long to

press the shutter it's so

annoying oh my God he finally bled got

him that looks like it's on purpose

though I also got a shotgun

mic oh wow you got to be careful don't

keep that

loaded wow my head looks so small I just

have a giant head I'm sorry okay what's

up Gamers today we're building a PC in a

pinball machine and we're going to spend

$100 let's

go and then

cut if this computer doesn't boot now

because you're finicking with it it's

going to boot watch it's going to boot

here we go do you want me to push the

button do it here we go do it you coward

pretty cool eh yeah pointless but cool

what do you mean pointless why is it in

here it was Biz idea is that the theme

of this instead of the stealthiest it's

the stupidest upgrade no Dennis's

upgrade already

exists okay fair the original plan was

to actually have this in the top

compartment here the one connect box

yeah because we wanted the HDMI ports to

be facing up so but that's really stable

now so well I mean it is if you don't

move it I mean we can put it down here

there's just not a ton of room yeah

we'll put it up here sure wait you're

going to VHB it like just with tape yeah

cuz the only way it's going to I take no

responsibility for this I'm washing my

hands symbolically washing my hands I

may have found a solution wait the glass

is going to be on yeah it helps with air

flow no it doesn't yeah it does yeah I

was going to say how would that help

with air flow it

doesn't it's not how it works then why

do any computer case have glass on it

dust what because people like to look at

their stupid RGB

lights B I would like to apologize for

your upgrade being stupid what's the

plan for the one connect cable it goes

down to the radiant heater and then just

up or yeah that's how it was explained

to me okay and then what is the plan for

the HDMI cable for the

Sonos oh my God you guys didn't think of

this did you we have a long HDMI cable

really yes that's the plan yes this

seems to be screwed directly into the

drywall and also the threads are to Al

stripped out of it I can't even remove

the

screw you just pull if you unscrew the

top one you can just pull yeah I see

yeah wow what a good shelf we're going

to need some cable ties wow this looks

like

ass we'll fix it fix it Mr Tech tips I

can't fix this I need a cable cover okay

cable ties hit me you know what's funny

is Elijah unironically did a great job

of installing that AP and I think we're

going to have to move it into the arcade

cabinet am I going to get any cable ties

at some point ow yeah I deserve that all

right while there working on all that I

do have some miscellaneous stuff like

the quest 3 now I bought

this no I just want to hear the reason

you have a 7900 XTX and you're going to

play on that so I would like to know why

so I love VR I've had most VR headsets

so when I saw the quest 3 I was like

there's my next next headset the only

problem is is I want it for AR I

actually want to learn piano a bit more

officially instead of just knowing songs

and there's a past through game that

teaches piano no way all right let's see

it the only problem is is that now I've

tried the Apple Vision Pro and I don't

think I'm going to like this anymore

because the Apple Vision Pro is awesome

have you tried the quest 3 well there's

more to do on the quest 3 so I'll give

it that but uh I see the pass through is

not the same that Apple Vision pass

through is insane but this has games

yeah and this you were able to afford

all the rest of this stuff mhm so the

reason why I got the ubiquity was

because I wanted to do airlink using the

quest 3 so I can play my PC VR games on

this without a cable and it uses Wi-Fi

6E which obviously my $30 dink router

does not do okay so so let's see it just

like that I'm in the metaverse

nice wow it that didn't feel good that

was like motion sick already hands are

really

weird you even well it has to decide

like what camera is showing your hand so

it kind of warps

around okay I almost missed but the hand

tracking for like using menus so none of

the rest of this is getting well mounted

hey also you do know that you're

supposed to have like 6 in off of these

heated baseboards especially in the

winter right uh they don't work they

don't work no I'm just cold all the time

I see yeah this looks too small for my

head now this looks like it's for

children dude you know you have this on

upside down right no okay Bobo VR cuz

this is the it's just this is wrong

they've sent me something wrong cuz look

at this is supposed to be over the USBC

cable hold on one moment

please stand

by there you go now it's right side up

oh my gosh this is a tech tip

every can you tell what I'm playing he

definitely needs help with that I got to

slow down it's going too fast

how do I choose speed slow down please

help

me if you didn't know that he was doing

lessons right now you'd think it was

just some kid at the airport

like okay this seems like user error

Bell can I

try uh B

uping the

demo wait it's not lined up with the

keys well there at least part of your

problem every single one of these lines

is at the halfway point between two keys

so always go to the right and now the

keyboard is here okay fine you can get a

Vision Pro if you want let's go like I'm

not paying for it I just mean like I'll

get it I'll understand you'll get it

let's

go okay hey you bought some records huh

let's change the subject oh yeah the

first one you've seen I kind of got it

as a gift to form you to me to symbolize

when I beat you on the Black Friday

stream oh I got you this how much do you

think I paid for it I don't know 30

bucks

$400 I also bought this limited edition

numbered 121 mint copy of Empire the sun

walking on a dream and how much you

think I paid for this one with the

lenticular display

more yes but only very slightly it's

also pretty much

$400 he spent 20% of his budget yeah I

also went over by about $500 so I pretty

much just bought one of the you brought

wow so you actually spent $500 of your

own money to meme on me yes

Hey where's your Bluetooth oh it's over

here okay also we need networking it's

coming out of the TV speaker is that a

problem go no here we should out the TV

speaker what's it supposed to come out

of the Sonos is it supposed to look like

this in

here how do I plug that's why you wanted

to move it close to the wall before

anyone got a chance to look in there we

still have to put this in no I already

have an Ethernet in there where well

where is it the white one it's not going

to reach Elijah oh crap you're right a

damn it I also got an Apple Watch I got

this series 8 uh 45 mm we it was from

inventory we only had gold which I is

not my preferred color but it does look

pretty slick and I do VR in the mornings

I mean we got a gym membership through

work now so maybe not as much but it'd

be good to track my heart rate see how

I'm doing also got an expensive coffee

grinder spent about like $400 or $500 on

this so I can make

espresso

espresso do you need $400 of grinding to

make espresso honestly for a good

grinder that can do espresso and pour

over or anything like that you pretty

much are spending hundreds of dollars

[Music]

unfortunately honestly every time I do

it I get so mad there Elijah you happy

lus I haven't I haven't been happy in

about 25

years jeez perfect in between all this

chit chat Colin managed to get one thing

done today he built this ottoman Colin

no it's for this oh oh wait what's it

for oh is that new no but this goes with

my other well I guess the other final

couple objects no we have a pillow a

pillow a lumbar pillow if you want to

put that together I'll grab the other

last thing it's from doen dooen which

means it's art it matches my uh uh

tissue box how much is this pillow I

paid

$80 for this pillow and uh cover people

say our screwdrivers overpriced well

both things can be

true if I win I get a bigger discount on

the Apple Vision

Pro we're not even selling the Apple

Vision Pro well went from okay you could

buy it to not that big of a discount to

not selling I don't think I ever said

any of those things 530 frames per

second let's go go away

rat okay my God stop bothering

me fine I'll leave not you surprisingly

even with the game running over there

this is

uh not loud guess that's what a layer of

MDF will do for you oh yeah those intake

C fans are working though a few moments

later we're back we got Belle an actual

arcade cabinet this time instead of the

pinball machine so upgrade I don't know

it still has actually the pinball

buttons on the side which is pretty cool

so you could play some pinball games

made by the same company has way more

room to fit the computer the one connect

box and the Apple TV as well as we ran

an extra HDMI cable out the back in case

a friend brings over like a Nintendo

switch or a PS5 or something or if a

friend comes over at all but you know

are you okay with the arcade cabinet

it's like you

know uh we also did some cable managing

and I had some other things show up but

uh I think all we have to do is game

make sure it all works yeah let's game

make sure everything works and he's

happy with arcade cabinet you know now

that I'm sitting down Bell is this

really the optimal sitting and gaming

experience with the TV all the way over

there I mostly just watch NBA but again

I don't want my TV to be the center of

my living room like I'd rather sit

across from my friends here in the

camera and have a conversation with them

than like watching TV I see so the TV is

definitely second I'm purposely like

this all the

time say hello to my big friend Mama Mia
