right? I mean they could also 3d print basically a "sleeve" to slide and affix there along that support bracket below the acrylic shelf so that it gets a triangle of support ...or have welded the bracket base to be a triangle...or use the machine shop at the office for a thin steel or aluminum slotted plate to replace/add to the acrylic...or other solutions
I was thinking about it the whole time. It's on the verge of snapping. Thinking about the speakers vibrating into the mix with a subwoofer is just creaming to fall.
Can I just say that it's been obvious that the last few months of videos, Linus seems to actually be enjoying doing the things in his videos again, and it's fantastic to see. It feels like they're fun, and a breath of fresh air for him, and his joy of doing them comes through and makes the videos more fun to watch.
Drilling in reverse is something we do for electrical installations to avoid cracking plastic or vinyl especially in the cold! Great oops discovery by Linus.
David overlooking the fact that there's models of wall mount holders for every one of those controllers on Thingiverse, Cults3d, and Thangs is actually hilarious. I like the ingenuity of the ABC blocks though lmao.
@@noahluppe I was thinking , "If David is going to ""print something"" to make the controllers fit and sit flush...why not just print the cradle mount to begin with?" then he doesn't have to attach anything to the controller.
Yes hated this, so much work gluing the washers, getting the ABC blocks and putting the magnets in them vs some cradle holders. They also sell black wall panels for super cheap to use with the cradle holders. Cradles on the wall not looking as clean as magnets>awkward washer or 3d printed backing on the controllers lol
18:18 I would paint that power wire, run it from the Enterprise to the Borg Cube like it's a Phaser beam and run it into the PC and then down the wall.
This is one of the best videos ltt has made in a long time. It comes off as so real. Truly appreciate. As someone who watches every video im excited by recent content.
I dig it. Love the abc block idea. 100% cheap af to get matching blocks. Word for other ppl doing this. Don't buy the ones covered in stickers if you're gonna paint then. Stickers will rot under paint and sanding them sets you back to the level of making your own blocks.
2:38 and in general that camera. Top right of the lower left quadrant. Not sure if a lens or sensor issue but should probably check that blue dot / blob. 15:50 top left too.
Awesome!! Love the follow up :) And great room! Oh and also the partner support was great! normally they like to poke fun at their partners, but this time she was super supportive :)
This comparison of second hand speakers to new soundbars is invaluable. Would love a series on highlighting things like soundbars and where you could get much better value, without major tradeoffs!
7:51 so hear me out... why not a bunch of picture ledges with 3d printed controller stands instead of wooden play blocks, magnets, bolts, and hot glue? Added bonus, you could easily hide charging cables now.
This video made me very happy for David after the gut punch of watching him part ways with his awesome collection. Well worth it, and a great decision in the long run. What a payoff!
11:26 That is EXACTLY what I imagined it was going to do the moment I saw the first controller. The sliding door obviously won't be moved on the regular, but those magnet connections looked sketchy af. Not to mention the hotglue job on the ABC cubes. These controllers are hanging on by a thread.
I did a similar floating pc thing and I have a really good alternative for you if you ever wanna make it even more seamless. Make an aluminium mount that has vesa holes for the side of the pc facing the wall, then use a simple (and sturdy) slim wall mount for tv on the wall. It would completely remove the visible metal part and looks like it truly floats. It can even be removed and installed quite easily after that.
The floating pc should be hanging rather than supported from below. Use the same wall bracket (mounted one pc height higher), turn the pc upside down, and mount from above rather than below. You can even bend some flat bars with a gentle curve attached at the ends to the pc and at the lowest point in the curve to the wall mount. That way the bar will operate as a spring to keep the thing from sagging, like if the bars were flat. Also, probably too late, but you could have fed the wire for the enterprise through the center of a hollow aluminum rod.
Hate to be that guy but that's the wrong Enterprise.... that is the Enterprise C not the D which was the one that squared off against the Borg. Looks franken cool though love to see the Borg Cube computer actually tied into a Star Trek setup.
Hate to be THAT guy to you but... There's no name on that model, you could argue that this was the USS Yamaguchi, an Ambassador class ship that fought at Wolf 359.

Bought my 7.1.2 system fully capable of Dolby Atmos all in for £130 from Facebook Marketplace. It absolutely kicks ass to the point that I have to keep it down to avoid annoying the neighbours.
I'm a tradesman, so it's not often that I wince at LTT safety violations, but 9:10 got me pretty good. I've seen that movie before, and the ending is bloody
22:21 neck replacement surgery is gonna cost more than that room with how high the tv is. My favorite part of any home theater is having to watch from a hi-top stool.
21:55 If everybody buys used home theater systems, it'll drive up prices. They're only as cheap as they are because there is no demand for them. Look at how the prices of for example iPods went up after they gained popularity once people started considering them collectible.
dam uploaded 1 min ago its 4:48 am in Australia and this is wat i need RN and its wat i always need EDIT: i love how we all commented and def havent had enough time to even watch the video
Congrats on selling your collection and actually moving! It's always awesome to see the fruits of sacrifice! Also wholesome happy SO got a really cool PC upgrade. Love how it came out!
The cube PC looks great and so did the white one, but that drop-down tv wall mount was the moment that made the most for me. Been looking at hanging a 100” TV above the fireplace and that wall mount will make it possible.

Agreed. She was soooo happy and loved it.

Absolutely, Yvonne has definitely asked if he has done the laundry, to which linus has responded, "No, but I did do this segue to our sponsor"
Probably says it in his sleep by now 😂
100%
he probably says when hes ordering food in a drive thru
No. these videos have nothing to do with his real life
that framed picture of picard is wonderful.
also, i worry about how dusty that tree in the nook is gonna get but it too is wonderful.
@@Pratalax I don't think dust will even have a chance to accumulate in that space. The amount of work that was done in a month is astounding.
My biggest fear with it is spiders making homes 😅!! But David loves spiders so I'm gonna try to embrace them as buddies if they do 😬
One of the cameras you guys used for this shoot seems to have a dead pixel in the upper left corner.
16:31
Ive seen this the last few videos and I had to check my monitor to make sure I wasnt going crazy.
it has two actually the one in the upper left and one right near the center look at the cardboard box at 16:32
And a little off to the left of center as well. The same camera.
the little floating blue dot scared the shit out of me
I literally thought I had a dead pixel in my display😱
bro I was like did my screen cracked or something cuz its an purple and relatively big dot(bigger than pixels on my screen)

but with the magnet and washer (?) approach you can just rearrange at will, as every holder works with every controller.
@@noahluppe You can with the wall mounts also if you put the magnets in the mount and screw the washer to the board. or vice versa

The aesthetic of having the controllers with no mount visible is far cleaner though. Printable mounts would work but would be a different aesthetic

As a Trekkie myself, I am INCREDIBLY jealous of this setup..
Yes, it is perfection! This is the first time I've looked at something like that and thought about doing it myself. Just looks so good.
its the wrong enterprise though :(
@Swatmat Yup the Enterprise C would not have encountered the Borg. But I'll give it a pass since appeared in one of my favorite TNG episodes.
@@jfrenchws6 Thank god it wasn't just me noticing this...😅

there goes his garage turned into a gaming room, good job!

i had that in multiple sections of the video as well at periods it was moving around the immage
It's a Dead Pixel Camera, dude. That's content.
Not going to lie...I had to pull up different image just to make sure it wasn't my monitor and I wasn't going crazy.
Yup, can confirm. Its been bugging me seeing it move around in the video from different shots
I like the text popups like at 15:32. I like how they add a bit more background information and even give clear, useful hints
“She likes the ideas… she doesn’t like the execution” now that’s a good line to be remembered by.😂😂😂
Proton is a good sponsor to have a relationship with for a channel like this
Budgeting of what you already have refocused a different vision great setup David!
The Borg cube is Sick - Needs a Phaser Blast from the Ship to the Cube that Glows maybe even Pulses.

Omg its proton mail ,good to see
Going Enterprise-C for the model is certainly an interesting choice
i thought this too
lol same.
Didn’t see a registry painted on it, so technically it can be any Ambassador class. 🤷♂️
I like the ship, nice middleground between B and D design wise, but I don't think it has ever seen a Borg cube 😅
Yeah don’t know why he went an Ambassador Class for that. Would have gone a Galaxy or Sovereign myself.
