I had posted about this on the LMG discord under the Wan Show regarding the topic of the Apocalypses PC, Suggesting the Apocalypses RV instead for a more content deep video. I not sure, if this is the right place to suggest it, but here goes...Forgive the repost from discord. please. "Given how the wan show discussed the apocalypses PC vid went.....I have a potential Vid concept. Apocalypses RV! it would be no doubt content Rich....can you even buy a solar powered RV (as in an electric vehicle?) Can you get internet good enough to stream from on the move. Because who doesn't frag zombies on stream while running from zombies irl? Personal note: Been looking for a new home for me and my father. As a small streamer nd knowing he wants to travel in his retirement...this would be a two birds one stone kind of thing. We do have a small nestegg to invest if this project happens. If anyone on #lmgstaff wants to DM we can talk details." That all reposted here, there was discussion from a couple other users, that gave some pros and cons. Con/Pro, it seems that Jerryrigeverything has done a video just adding panels and a battery to an RV, So to go the extra content mile fully converting an RV to an electric vehicle would be the challenge if we want to push the content further. (this was pointed out by Tassadarforaiur) Pro/Con, Getting StarLink to work for the Apocalypses RV for mobile internet is an interesting possible sponsorship opportunity, Setting up the network, running cables, adding RGB and all the logistical nightmares of setting things up in a house on wheels, would make for a solid vid. ( this was pointed out by Chaschuky999 ) I think sourcing EV Conersion kit that would work for an RV, an RV that is salvageable that fits my needs and rigging it up to keep me streaming if Starlink is the only thing leave running would make for an amazing bit of content. A per my original post on the discord, I do have a nestegg to draw on as I plan on keeping the RV afterwards, this would be great to line up a number of sponsors. Jackery would be great if we need to drop extra panels to boost our power generation, getting in touch with a company that does EV kits might open up a new line of sponsorships and does Starlink do sponsorships? Thank you for your time and I'm sorry in advance if this isn't the right location to post this topic.

I've had a Blue Yeti for years now....and I'm dealing with an on going whine issue. Gain reduction, noise cancelation software, replacement of the usb cable, cycling the mic, and much more....but the issue will act like it's fixed and then come right back. I make a small living of live streaming...and often I don't know if the issue is occurring till after the stream is over...either my small amount of viewers are deaf or they just put up with it. (Kinda think I'm low-key blessed to have such a great audience). So I an to the point were I think I just need to replace the bloody thing...but I don't recall when was the last time someone did a solid Quality streamer mic review. Anyone have/know of a side by side mic sound review vid that I could watch for the current Streamer mics on the market...Keep in mind, I'm just barely get by on what I make for streaming....so I can't afford to be droppin made cash but my viewer deserve better than what my current mic is putting out.

that's kind of like telling someone that needs a second car for their growing family, to just invest in an old beater car that could die half way to were its going. It not a solution that meets the needs of my use case. Thanks for the advice, I may use it as a band aid for for my situation but the stability, reliability and capability of an "old laptop" I find would be a last ditch effort....I'm not to that point yet.

True but that would make the electric bill even harder on me.

Hi everyone, MeltMan of Gaming Philosophy here. Just saw some of the channels CES coverage....and it got me thinking. I have been running into a some limitations with my current PC and was thinking of getting an update. Now currently I am running with OS: win 7 Processor i7-4770k 3.5ghz ram 16gb ddr3 GC: gtx 1070 FE storage 1t hd and many 4t exteranl hd (archive storage) Here is what I do with that, I live stream game play content directly to my channel Gaming Philosophy 5 to 8 hours a day. As you may have guessed I have run into some storage issues....and have kind of been bandaiding the issues with external drives. Also when I am doing live streams, were the gaming I'm playing requires me to host the server for my viewers to join on, while I'm also planing on it, and using my hardware to send the stream to YouTube....well lets just say when there are 8+ people playing together I hit some bottle necking issues causing players to sit at 25000 ping (often only fixable by restarting the game server, which requires everyone watching to wait for me to restart everything and of those playing to rejoin. please note this can happen multiple times a stream) An additional issue I wish to address is power cost....You likely don't want my electric bill. So here is the idea I'm noodling with. Using the revolution x power supply for a dual desktop setup and Synergy 2 to streamline the software. I can have the first unit be my gaming rig and hold my steam library and be ready for when I move into VR content (that way I don't have to uninstall and reinstall games to move disk space around). The second unit be my streaming and content editing rig, taking my content to the next level by getting Premier on it with a size able storage solution that way I can start making highlight reels and Goof up compilations. The one thing holding me back is my budget....as I'm still a very small You Tuber and monetizing seems to get harder everyday, I really don't know how much I can set aside to build it.....The higher the cost, the longer I'll have to make due and hopefully keep my viewers happy. So that's everything in a nutshell. Any ideas, suggestion or opinions on how to go about this. Oh, I have build myself but I would only consider my skill to be in the region of a novice/hobbyist. Thanks in advance.

I love everything I am seeing so far. Yes the CPU is a main factor to consider. Also I hadn't considered The hot swapping the GPU into your existing rig in the question. While the that does make sense and I applaud the creative solution, you'd then would have to price everything in your current rig if say a third party wanted to build it. Yes I am aware that it is a silly question, that was kind of the point. A 3k gold shrouded gpu designed for "optimized deep learning software" (seeing link 1 for source) that is not for gaming? You know there are going to be over the top builds trying to milk every teraflop out of the Titian V. So why not turn it on its head for shits and giggles. Keep up the great ideas, I still haven't seen anyone suggest skipping the case cost just to mount the rig to a wall. (I mean it would look better than trying to use the Mobo box as a open air test bench case) Have fun with it a feel free to brainstorm ideas. 1. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/titan/titan-v/

So here is my question; In true GPU first, How cheap can you build a rig that can run a Titian V with out bottle-necking performance? So with a 3k usd graphics card (that's not designed for gaming), how truly cheap can you get with everything else to justify that cost? please list below your suggested build and hey who knows, maybe this with give linus another way to recoup the cash paper money he burned on this lovely golden gpu. P.S. No, using a the center piece of your coffee table. to show how baller you are does not count as achieving expected performance.

I'm sure you all have seen a wide range of videos doing Thread Ripper installs, just like I have. Maybe a few of you have wondered this as well, with the bigger chip size and if the dummy cores are/aren't effective in keeping temps evenly spread with this hot mama of a cpu....does this impact how thermal paste should be applied or is it not different than a standard pre-threadripper cpu? Anyone have access or means to try it out and see how things heat up?

I'm thinking of putting together a gaming/live streaming rig for my growing YouTube channel. I'm currently using OBS for software and relying on hardware encoding. I'm currently doing 1080p HD content but want to grow past that. Hoping to pick up VR content and 1440p which is currently beyond my current rig can sustain. I'm planning on waiting till after thread ripper has been on the market for a few months to see how intel responds. Is there anything that I should be looking into or be aware of that could bork a solid rig or pocket book for this use case?

Needs Win10, Office, reliable WiFi receiver and great quality web cam. will be used for web surfing, Office and conference calls via a wide range of platforms, skype, curse, discord, team speak, mumble, etc. Looking for Pre-builds only. A solid reliable battery is a must as well. please reply with a link to a suggested laptop, Thanks in advance. (please note this system will not be used for gaming)

If your like me and caught this chunk of the wan show. Ideas are brewing for how wicked that rig might end up looking. If you don't know what I'm talking about click the YouTube video. Okay now that we're all on the same page. Let's generate some parts list that would pull off this use case while still looking banging. Who knows maybe they might like the idea and see it become part of that build. So feel free to submit design ideas and we will see were this goes!

Mhh, are ram-disks useless. I'm not sure about that, I think the potential is there, I just lack the technical skill to unlock it. Also I thought M.2 and PCI-E were two different configs of ssd please correct me if I'm wrong. all the same thank you for your feedback Schischka and Droidbot.

Good to know regarding the headset, I picked it because I tend to break the part were the ear piece meets the headrest and that design solves that problem for me, but definitely thanks for the warning Megah3rtz

Thank Ellen I'll keep that in mind.

Okay this is more a reality check than anything else. I wanted to see what it would cost for a very solid gaming rig that was running with a chunk of its ram partitioned off as a ram drive that was mirrored on an SSD. So when you see that system build idea has 128g ram and a 525g ssd that about 100g of both of those are partitioned off and running raid to clone each other. I also was trying to tweek the system more towards the quite end of the noise spectrum. The budget got out of hand like it normally does when I'm looking at building a what if machine. I tried to watch for compatibility issues as well but there is always a chance I missed something. I'd love for you all to take a look over the part list and provide feedback. I'll provide a link as well as a text copy if the link fails. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCYFXH Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing RGB 360 40.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste ASRock X99 Taichi ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 128GB (8 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Crucial MX300 525GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Xtreme Gaming Water cooling Video Card Phanteks ECLIPSE P400 ATX Mid Tower Case Enermax 600W 80+ Platinum Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit Dell S2417DG 23.8" 165Hz Monitor Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid-i Wired Standard Keyboard Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse Wired Laser Mouse SteelSeries Siberia v2 Headset estimated part cost 3800.00 usd as of 11/1/2016 pricing Oh the over all color theme is White/black with just a dash of gold.
