Message for David, if you wanted to do a phaser blast hitting the cube you could get a section of EL wire in Orange and run it between the ship and the borg cube. Put a magnet on one end and a magnet sunk into the other side, and they would clip together. EL wire can be powered from one side, so you could pull the effect off, and it would be removable if you need to take down the case to upgrade/work on something. Setup is sick, great garage conversion.
was thinking along same lines but use that phaser blast as the mount for the ship rather than the shelf one, use a material that's clear with the wire then showing through when lit, you could even pulse it for effect

Well, with 1600 comments, this will probably be missed, but at 17:08 you show the speakers being Bi-wire, which means they have 2 sets of connections. This requires a Receiver with 2 sets of outs for each, OR, metal strips (or wiring) going from one connection to the other to bypass the Bi-wiring function. If you only plug in one set of wires, and nothing to the other set on the speakers, then you will ONLY get sub, or mid.
@OrcPeon2 no that could and would hurt the receiver. I also have a set of bi-wire speakers and only one of my receivers can use it, two sets of wires to each speaker, and then a setting needs to be turned on. But the speakers have a metal shim connecting the two connections on the back if you aren't using bi-wire that needs to be removed if you are.
@@dtemp132 there should be, but don't know if there is, that's the shim I talked about. They are removed to get bi-wire, if the original owner removed them, and didn't put them back, then no. Did you see them in the video?
Watching this video before bed was biggest mistake of my life. Having a support for the cube CPU without it just being t or cross shaped will keep me up all night...
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!
A soundbar, especially without a sub is just a better tv speaker. I got one for my parents, it sounds great for a speaker. For myself I have proper 5.1 and it's just completely different thing. Stop calling sound bars home theater!
@@adranonim Even a PC-Speaker Set (2.1) on the headphone jack is a lot better than a lot of the more expensive soundbars. But headphone jacks are not a thing on every new TV anymore...
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
After seeing David part with his collection and cull it down to the essentials, it’s great to see the carts land in such a worthy new home. Would love to see an update once it’s dialed in. Kudos on the guitar wall mount for the guitar controller
Couple of comments: - David comes off as a very likeable guy through the videos, - David has very respectable taste in retro games. - @20:31 that panzer dragoon saga is a repro I assume?, - the custom built pc, and the floating battle damaged enterprise looks freaking awesome - the idea behind the space is great,, Can we see a part 2?
well, cuz he says he has multiple repos, and when forced to only pick a handful of games, this is not even a choice, it being one of the rarerst and most expensive games produced in the 90's... But hey, maybe it is a genuine copy !! hence the reason I ask..... :)
As a contractor, Thank you for putting that door on sliders. Hiding the panel is annoying but you did it in a way that I and other contractors can live with.
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.
@@Sup_DNo? That's not the point of either of these videos. The point was that David was collecting for the wrong reasons, he was collecting because he wanted to play the games, when there's much better and cheaper solutions to do that nowadays. In this case the value of the collection is in the collecting itself, not for reading the books. Nobody would keep a $600 version of a book just to read it.
@@Sup_D Similar to what @nikkiofthevalley said in their reply, I think this is a bit different. There's a difference to collecting stuff and keeping it in bins in your garage, which just takes up space, vs. having it beautifully displayed in your living space. If the books were all put away and kept in the garage I would agree with you, but that's not the case with this. Also I think hoarding is pejorative, and has different meaning than collecting. I think David vs. his SO shows a decent example :)
These comments make me feel so validated and seen 🥲 thank you! I've worked really hard ot build this collection. And the fact David even remembered the expensive book was the tour edition and how much it cost me made me feel so giddy and loved, but I was worried how it would be perceived here. Thank you for having this strangers back 💜 and for putting something into words I sometimes struggle to do myself !
David's significant other's reaction to her PC was a definitely a high point in the video. Such a hilariously real reaction. 10/10 phenomenal video. That gaming space is awesome!
I love the duality of nice and happy and bright and nature-y in the main house and then just. GAMER NERD GEEK DARK MODE RGB in the garage. Honestly, my ideal duality.
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!
More David content please. I'd love to see him show off more of the remaining collection, the plans, the progress, and how he is feeling about the big switch from retro hardware to emulation. Considering the same for myself, but I'm not so familiar with PC's these days.
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.
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 :)
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.
i loved the puffery dig off rip, and the editors very funny galaxy wall was amazing! I hope they get to see this validation because theyre my favourite now!
When I was in Boy Scouts and we first started working with pocket knives, the lesson we learned was to NOT carve something towards you. When I saw Linus use the drill, I had flashbacks. Great video!
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.
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.
David is the kid who's just having fun playing with his toys and showing off to his dad. Linus is the dad regretting his decision to let his son handle power tools but still wants to teach him the right way to do things.
Does he know it's the Enterprise-C from the time travel episode? The one where Yarr comes back? That thing never met the Borg, and I'm concerned they think it's just a weirdly shaped D.
@@astrohgamingZero I normally clamp stuff in the vise. It was a dumb case of "oh I just need to bore the hole out a little more" without thinking. Now I've got something to remind me to always think before I drill.
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.

Watching this video before bed was biggest mistake of my life. Having a support for the cube CPU without it just being t or cross shaped will keep me up all night...

Thank you for all of the people who worked on making it possible for the rest of us.
0:24 "That might be a little bit of puffery sir." WAN show viewers unite :D
David and his partner are so lovely. Love their energy!
Weakness . It is SO _in_ these days and I loOove iIit ..!
I always love David on camera, he's so fun to watch.
13:16 Watching this I can feel Linus' pain. That "floating" PC is legit stressing me out. 😧
That Borg Cube case is so dope
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.
David is the kid who's just having fun playing with his toys and showing off to his dad. Linus is the dad regretting his decision to let his son handle power tools but still wants to teach him the right way to do things.
18:47 this is unironically a brutal metal vocal and I'm here for it
I am a singer.... should I get into metal music?? 😂 - David's SO
@ 🫡🤘🏻
20:26 that mgs4 box in that shelf might be the sickest thing in the entire setup for me lmao
I like David a lot, and it’s really cool to see him do this practical (yet still insane) build out.
He is a zero-threat male . Super _in_ these days ..! SoOo cool my dudette ..!
Does he know it's the Enterprise-C from the time travel episode? The one where Yarr comes back? That thing never met the Borg, and I'm concerned they think it's just a weirdly shaped D.
I was thinking the same thing, D, E, Voyager or Defiant would have been perfect, but this one is cool looking also :)
Could say it was the USS Yamaguchi, that was an ambassador class at wolf 359 👍
@@kajitullygreen2763 but David called it Enterprise in one shot.
Yeah, this lack of detail is insanely frustrating. It's the wrong Enterprise!
For all the jankiness of David's project, all of it looks dope as hell
The editors have really been killing it lately!! Galaxy on the wall XD
7:28 I did that once with a metal piece. There was a lotta blood and I now have a permanent scar in my left index finger.
@@hananas2 this really did make me cringe cause I have been on the receiving end of this poor choice too lol
@@hananas2 yeah the drill doesn’t care about your intentions. Could have at least used pliers, two flat metal things stepping on one, or anything.
@@astrohgamingZero I normally clamp stuff in the vise. It was a dumb case of "oh I just need to bore the hole out a little more" without thinking. Now I've got something to remind me to always think before I drill.
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.
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
@@provostkhot hot pixel not dead
that pc mount is gonna haunt me in my sleep...
i feel like changing the baseplate with aluminium won't help with any of that😭
How long till it falls. 🥺
It’s so awesome living in the local area of these videos and seeing like “Hey, I bought that pioneer 935 at visions too! what a great sale”
The level of jank combined with sophistication makes this an excellent video.
This episode should have been named as:
Not amd and not that ultimate tech upgrade
I love how the collectable books are all smut
Wouldn't really call sarah j mass books all smut.
Yeah a couple chapters in the ToG series are, but by all means not ALL of them, and not every book there.
I am David's significant other and can confirm a lot of it is smut, but I stand by that a lot of it also is not 😂
@@wesleycurrier13and the fact you know this info makes us friends already 💜
4 mins after it went live.......personal best ...nice setup David
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I usually don't comment but I have to say that this setup is absolutely amazing, I love it.
Any video with David is a banger.
14:42 "I'm easy-" (gets cut off)
Great quote
18:30 I'm terrified of the pc and the ship
18:45 getting a girl who gets this stoked about a computer. Goals.
Just be weak and gay bro , my dude
There's no sponsor... except this segue... to our sponsor! (yes I know)
been using proton for a while, cool to see them as a sponsor
Fun video, you could also tell how happy David was to be getting help from his friends. ❤
