Autumn has done quite a few videos so beautifully edited by now, with a good touch of humor and like on the races with "good pace". It's good to see Gamers Nexus growing from the tinny room to the first rented place and then to the new one bigger and so on. Your in depth analysis videos are so needed Steve. Thank you from Chiapas MEXICO, and if you or any of your crew visit Chiapas some day contact me and I will give you some good organic coffee to bring back to your GN quarters, and it's on me, free for all of you. Thank you again Steve
Love office tours. Cross creator (platform) videos are great. Keep up all the fantastic work and your ability to make things not only understandable but extremely entertaining.
No joke I was just thinking about how smart this guy is. Does anyone know what his degrees, certs or expertises are? Dudes literally a nerd version of Kobe. I must know his ways. Edit: Annnnd I just realized this was posted 5 days ago. I hate TH-cams subscription and bell notifications never working.

@@tytyterrell short answer many. But I think he has a bio on his forum level1tech I believe if not ask he's a lovely man and seems to be super human for responding to people.
@@GeminiWoods Wendell was the reason I even watched the old channel, the dude is seriously amazing. Does things for the sake of doing them, because he thought it should be possible.
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason It was a skit pulled from the TV show Home Improvement. Tim's neighbor, Wilson would talk to him over his fence but you never saw his whole face through the entire series until the last episode aired. Gives him an air of mystery.
As an awkward, introverted nerd seeing Steve and Wendell interact reminds me so much of the interactions between me and my college friends. It's so painfully awkward in the absolute best way and only in that way that two nerd friends can be together: Just two dudes talking tech. This is why I subscribe to both of your content.
And now for our next featured presentation: L1techs office with all the trimmings. I suspect that Steve's office is meant for generating content, but I'm willing to bet Wendell's dark cave is meant for fighting the darkest timeline. Let us see!
Hehe, you can clearly see that "the fan machine" is Steve's pride an joy, the "OK" he said and he was so excited and quick to move upstairs that Wendell almost couldn't finish the question :)
Oh damn that brings back memories, one of my first tasks of my career was writing software for "ancient" (80s and 90s) oscillisopes. Now these ones you showed are actually ancient. Brilliant!
I've been wanting to take one of those old oscilloscopes and turn it into a pc where you could also display on the CRT, but there's one piece of the puzzle missing: the skills.
Iirc, both IBM and HP made computers in this kind of form. Long time ago though. You might find them cheap somewhere. Also, there’s less knobs than on an oscilloscope
Meanwhile in Europe we are good and ready for those power hungry GPU’s. 230v 16A wins the day, if you can afford the bill :D. Gots to heat the house somehow anyway, doesn’t really matter if it’s via conventional electric heating or FPS
Hahaha! the face Steve makes when Wendell uses the DIY cold fusion analogy is probably the nicest, funniest way to let someone know when they've gone too far trying to get a point across... Love it.
I do like when you two get together. Quite different primary interests/expertise but the overlapping areas are just about right. A shame you're not geographically closer, could collab on many projects to create some awesome content pieces.
Last time Wendell came through my server rack was when I had a DDoss issue, don't get a server rack if you're not ready for it Me when I've had a look at shit like that already, I just gotta turn the nobs again
I love to see you both interacting. Pentium Pro! I'm always looking for that box in your set! I was so happy when I got mine, not at launch and only the 256KB L2 cache version, but it was awesome to have a 200Mhz CPU before Windows 95 was released... not many young persons know that current Intel CPUs are way more related to that CPU than to the Pentium 4.
Yup. Intel left turned and went Pentium II. I was a owner and proud proponent of it at the time. I mean, they were giving away Pentium Pros for nothing to make room for the II. I still envied people who had a dual Pro motherboard and the larger cache models.
@@Hypn0s2 years later when they released the Pentium-II Overdrive for socket 8 I already had a PII 300, damnit... On a motherboard that only was capable of 66MHz FSB, it kind of burned me a little too much so in my next build I banned Intel and went with a Slot-A Athlon.
So hear me out: Little Monsters (1989) rules, except instead of beds, it's server rack portals. Wendell can travel anywhere, as long as there's a server rack for him to step out of.
Fantastic stuff gents! Steve's effort to genuinely test products with this level of transparency is a wonder for us tech dorks, plus repurposing older useful tech that was destined for waste is a fantastic thing. Wendell appreciating everything along the way is just delightful. Still hilarious Steve's stuck with the Gamer's Nexus company name.
I have a Variac for my guitar Amps for uh... The "sound" of science. Great tool for musicians and studio engineers if you live with +220 V in your wall socket. Just found this channel and it is great. Ty and stay safe
I love Truenas, I run Scale for my sandboxed Windows 10 install which I run all of my plex management software (transcoding etc) as well as all of my social media, discord, etc, and Core for my NAS which also runs Plex itself.
Felt good at the beginning when Wendell said that was an “oscilloscope” …. not necessarily a dual-tube one ….. but it felt good getting a one up on Steve from GN 💪👍🥰🤩
That 42u server rack is facing the wrong way. There is a single door in the front and two half size doors in the back. So the doors in the back can be opened when your create a hot isle configuration.
Autumn you did it again, masterfully edited. Greetings to Ryan, Kristah and Wendell from Chiapas MEXICO. Remember good coffee and tea are waiting for you all if you ever visit CHIAPAS and it's on me. Thanks for the video.
@@Level1Techs I replied to the other comment, please Autumn, tell Grant I'm sorry and that I look forward for more FPGA videos and fun editing from both of you. I'd like to apologize for my bad grammar and English skills, it's just that I'm not a native English speaker but I keep on improving. Greetings and salutations from CHIAPAS México.
So we're just ignoring the PS5 in the middle of the room? I'm cool with it if you guys are, just making sure. Such a cool tour Wendell, love these vids!
Such a great tour, and to see two professionals genuinely showing respect and admiration for the other is really refreshing. When do we get to see the videos about workstation furniture?!
it's more like an overpass roundabout with 4 hov lanes and 2 exits onto other freeways, and a third exit that just takes you to a cornfield in the middle of nebraska.
I loved Wendell back in the day on tech syndicate, its really cool to see him branch off and make more linux stuff, it helped me dip my toes into the command line when I started my SE degree.
"We don't even use lead based solder these days. It is fine!" 10:40 Well, it isn't the lead that were the problem. Lead doesn't really fume that much to be fair. The bad thing is the flux fumes, especially water soluble flux. Neither of these are particularly healthy and do contain fairly nasty stuff. (Read the safety datasheet of your solder/flux for more information.)
I love the idea of summoning Wendell with some ritual requiring the sacrifice of like a mobo with a parallel port and mismatched 16 GB sticks of ddr4 and he explodes from the nearest rack in a fit of rage to stop the heresy.
Wendel I have an important question: How much is the transfer speed impacting your travel-speed when traveling through servers? What's your miles/mbit/s or is it independend of the internet speed? ;)
You already have 240V in your home. You just need a really long extension cord from your laundry room or get an electrician to install a 240V outlet next to your fuse box, unless you want to mess with the bus bars in your fuse box which might get you into all kinds of trouble or result in injuries or death if you don't know what you're doing.
Hahaha, love the way this edited together! Thanks for coming out and teaching us about the new server setup! Works great!

Bummer that the x570 metro poster is no longer avail. Look forward to an X670 version.
Love office tours. Cross creator (platform) videos are great. Keep up all the fantastic work and your ability to make things not only understandable but extremely entertaining.
If Wendell isn't mopping a floor in the intro to your video with him after that joke, you have clearly done something wrong. 🤣
Felt like a pretty natural and semi-realistic look at you guys hanging out!
Everyone is a physicist until Wendell is in the room.
@The Night he's a lover of all clever stuff

Wendell is a national treasure. Coming out of hiding behind multiple monitors to show us his true personality. Absolute gold.
Ah, the old "viking through the letterbox" days.
Yep, followed Wendell from his previous "channel that shall not be named". Love this guy and his vibe.
@@GeminiWoods Wendell was the reason I even watched the old channel, the dude is seriously amazing. Does things for the sake of doing them, because he thought it should be possible.

That was just plain dumb.

legit would watch you two talk about tables, benches, and cast-off equipment for the whole video.
nice camera work and editing too
oh yes, I'd watch an hour of them giggling around
Agreed! I want to know what they use and why! It's the same type of thing as the office chair review!
Narrator: today we managed to capture a Wendell in his natural habitat, observe how playful and happy he is
I need a Netflix weekly series with these two as the main characters. PLEASE! Humor, good vibes and happiness would ensue!
overlyclocked
And there are a ton of people that can be guests.
I dont even have Netflix and would love having that show!
Yes!!
We now know Wendell is 96U tall
FTW-The day that Portal points are Server Racks, or 1970's phone booths (not Futurama edition)
The summoning of Wendell remains one of my most favourite moments of any tech youtube video ever.
And now for our next featured presentation: L1techs office with all the trimmings. I suspect that Steve's office is meant for generating content, but I'm willing to bet Wendell's dark cave is meant for fighting the darkest timeline. Let us see!
Of course Wendel has already been around the office he travels via fiber and Ethernet but only to places he's invited obviously.
Level 1 Wendell is Tech Doctor Who, he travels in a server rack and you can hear him by the sound of the fans spinning, despite no fans can be seen
I hope you got more shots of "Back to you, Steve" that never fails to make me smile.
Suggestion: Latency testing of PCIe devices on the daisy-chained X670 chipset southbridges.
Hehe, you can clearly see that "the fan machine" is Steve's pride an joy, the "OK" he said and he was so excited and quick to move upstairs that Wendell almost couldn't finish the question :)
always cool seeing you guys collab
YT reports you made this comment two weeks ago.
The mood change in the art gallery was fantastic
steve is always shy, it's so surprising from a guy that is used to talk to a camera. he managed to stay simple and natural despite the popularity.
My two favourite tech channels! 🔥🔥🔥 love you guys!
Oh damn that brings back memories, one of my first tasks of my career was writing software for "ancient" (80s and 90s) oscillisopes. Now these ones you showed are actually ancient. Brilliant!
Wendell & Steve collabs are always the best!
Wendell is the best but steve is a shore loser. Who tries to sell his low-quality merch by bashing top quality ltt merch lol.

Iirc, both IBM and HP made computers in this kind of form. Long time ago though. You might find them cheap somewhere.
Also, there’s less knobs than on an oscilloscope
In the wizarding world, evidently computer focused wizards use server racks instead of fireplaces.
The video of a $30 power supply that killed your tester needs to be made. Also, thanks steve.
Love the My life for Auir Cutaway
Steve seems alot less stressed and annoyed at the industry lately I'm glad.
Meanwhile in Europe we are good and ready for those power hungry GPU’s. 230v 16A wins the day, if you can afford the bill :D. Gots to heat the house somehow anyway, doesn’t really matter if it’s via conventional electric heating or FPS
Thanks, I've not seen a tour of GN's new location. Good fortune to you both.
Every L1 + GN collab video just has me smiling like crazy the whole time. 😊
same lmao
Hahaha! the face Steve makes when Wendell uses the DIY cold fusion analogy is probably the nicest, funniest way to let someone know when they've gone too far trying to get a point across... Love it.
I'm holding one empty rack for christmas, so Wendel-claus can come and give me a server.
Nosferatu intro, ties into the NASferatu server build from a long time ago. Glad I noticed this.
Nice collab video. Big fans of both channels - its always awesome when you work together.
I do like when you two get together. Quite different primary interests/expertise but the overlapping areas are just about right.

That double Futurama refrences are golden. Wendells detailed comparison, and both Steves face during that AND Frys answer after
Doctor Who has the TARDIS, Dr. Wendell has the RACK.
You guys were worried that this video would be boring. I liked it pretty good.
what a great chemistry between these two guys. you should do some product reviews together !
Lol that was a great intro Wendell! :D
man this channel should be on the million subs already... Wendell is a master class human being.
ROFLMAO the art spot was hilarious
Wendell raising the "Cone of Silence"
So hear me out: Little Monsters (1989) rules, except instead of beds, it's server rack portals. Wendell can travel anywhere, as long as there's a server rack for him to step out of.

Always love the vibe between you and Steve!
The way 2 tech-tubers are star struck by each other is neat
This is amazing proof that outsourcing works. Thank you GN Extras :D
my two favorite tech tubers! great content as always, and HILARIOUS intro!
Two of the best content creators in the space collab? I love every minute of it
I have a Variac for my guitar Amps for uh... The "sound" of science. Great tool for musicians and studio engineers if you live with +220 V in your wall socket.
Just found this channel and it is great.

L1T & GN: THANKS for the quick and unexpected laugh!! Almost spilled my Bourbon! You guys are great, keep up the good work!
So happy you guys collaborated! A lot of my friends think this stuff is boring and it probably is, but whatever. Grade A content from both channels!
wait that subway chip map is friggen cool, gotta pick up one of those for sure
this is like the new best buddy, who just moved into the neighborhood and now you share the cool stuff for the first time, like robots and comics.
That Simpsons cut! 🤣 omg that made my day. Thank you for this.
The Server Rack is Wendell's Tardis
I love how Wendell gets so happy and giggly like a small genius child over obscure machines and tech. So fun to watch
i love this so much, yall are great
Intro was a banger…gotta be a permanent mainstay whenever L1 is meeting up with GN.
_engagement_

Was that a gold virtue clock in that pile ? Measures velocity in feet per second, Paintball related.

Such a great tour, and to see two professionals genuinely showing respect and admiration for the other is really refreshing.
When do we get to see the videos about workstation furniture?!
So Wendel is like Harry Potter with the flu powder and those fireplaces but with server cabinets?
so instead of north-south bridge, is the chipset more of an east-west bridge? Can Steve tour the Level1techs office next?
it's more like an overpass roundabout with 4 hov lanes and 2 exits onto other freeways, and a third exit that just takes you to a cornfield in the middle of nebraska.
More like south and deep south bridges.
I am also a fan of benches and desks so I welcome the discussion!
Wendell is one of the top humans on this planet
Hahaha I love it, two of my favorite channels together again!
so much fun to watch two tallied people talk about things they love. and always enjoyable seeing Wendall unleash he's genius around the unexpected.
Wendell has such a wide range of knowledge, really enjoy listening to him nerd out about random hardware.
When he said laminar flow I could have sworn Destin from SED was going to crash through the wall
I loved Wendell back in the day on tech syndicate, its really cool to see him branch off and make more linux stuff, it helped me dip my toes into the command line when I started my SE degree.
Enter Wendell, your friendly neighborhood server room janitor!
Priceless smirk trying to do that bit 😂
It's refreshing to see someone point out things and appreciate its history, rather than pointing and asking "what's that?"
That Steve face when Wendell is talking fusion reactor is the best part. LOL.
I love these videos. It's like two Gods of Tech meet, every single time
I can never get enough of Wendell
Wendel would be a great college professor, or better yet a high school teacher. Just bursting with energy and knowledge
I discovered this channel through the last GN server build collab, so it's great to see more new stuff from your channels together. Thanks Steve.

nice people talking about interesting stuff IMO.. good work!
Wood can be sanded and refinished. 10 minutes with a card scrapper, new top. it may not be indestructible, but is more sustainable.
Two of my all time fav channels collide. Been watching Wendell since he was at tech syndicate. Always was my favorite tech TH-camr.
I absolutely love this! My favorite collabs is level1 and gamers nexus!
so rad seeing gn and l1 together!
Love your collaborations, excellent content and really enjoyable to watch.
"But where is the sausage made?"
What I wish Steve had said:
"I'm sorry, sir. This is not a Wendy's."
I love the idea of summoning Wendell with some ritual requiring the sacrifice of like a mobo with a parallel port and mismatched 16 GB sticks of ddr4 and he explodes from the nearest rack in a fit of rage to stop the heresy.
