He Can't Keep Getting Away With This | JayzTwoCents Office Tour

Technological Concepts & Setup / Features (Office / Lab Tour)

• Extensive PC testing setup: The hosts spend many hours working on a dedicated “testing setup” (implied high-end hardware benches). They then shift to an office tour that shows where different types of work happen (production/video/testing vs. administration).
• Thermal paste sponsorship: The video is sponsored by Thermal Grizzly Duronaut thermal paste, positioned as long-term stable and endurance-focused (paste longevity). It’s sold with applicators/spreaders in multiple tube sizes for enthusiast PC builds and daily-driven overclocks.
• Sound-treated lab/office acoustics:
  • The new space uses acoustic treatment so audio stays clean despite noise transfer from the warehouse/ceiling areas.
  • They also mention industry-standard lighting improvements and dedicated electrical circuits, where each power drop has its own 20A rating.
  • Lighting is described as temperature-adjustable.
• Video/audio capture workflow to avoid sync issues:
  • The podcast set uses custom “podcast tables” that capture audio directly, with each person getting their own monitor plus headphone jack/levels.
  • Audio/video is routed via HDMI capture into an Elgato capture card, specifically to avoid OBS desync when multiple interfaces are involved.
• Benchmarking software used for presentation:
  • They reference “Heaven” (Unigine Heaven) for visuals/background benchmarking, noting it’s not always a valid measurement tool.
  • They also discuss learning and using PresentMon (frame timing/telemetry tool) for better FPS/latency analysis rather than relying strictly on hardware readouts.
• Case mods & hardware aesthetics:
  • A themed build (space / “Jason” from The Expanse) uses RGB effects, including an LED ring and a fire-like effect inside a custom hole.
  • Fabrication details include PLA and low-temperature “burn”/torched effects.
  • They discuss glass tubing cutting/techniques (e.g., borosilicate/ceramic-type learning).
  • They also reference a custom approach using an older or specific ITX power/test bench style from Singularity Computers (see below).
• Specialized cooling/repair tools:
  • Mentions iFixit soldering iron (not yet used, but recommended by others).
  • Notes prior complaints about lacking a fume extractor during soldering in videos, emphasizing that air quality/health safety depends on the material and process used.
• 3D printing & multi-material capability:
  • Two highlighted printer types:
    • An older LulzBot/Taz style printer for rough/bigger prints (larger filament/nozzle).
    • A Prusa XL: a five-head system that can run multiple filaments/colors either simultaneously or via head swapping/parking for multi-color output.
  • This is tied to a desire for more CNC-style work; 3D printing is described as a cheaper method for modeling/prototyping.
• Water/ionization & DI water system:
  • A DI water loop uses plastic piping to prevent metal ion pickup.
  • An LED indicates parts per million (ionization); its color signals whether the filter should be changed.
  • Also shows copper piping for compressed air, kept separate from the DI loop.
• Retro computing project:
  • A working Windows XP-era / Windows 98+ style retro PC project is shown.
  • They’re searching for a period-correct AGP graphics card for authentic retro gaming.

Product Features & Hardware Analysis Examples

Singularity Computers “Power Board” / ITX Test Bench (Hardware Test Tooling)

They explain that Singularity Computers began with custom builds, then created:

• Their own DRO plates
• Manufactured power boards

The described test bench:

• Integrates a DRO plate mounted to a power board
• Supports ITX mounting, along with fan headers/SATA
• Includes controls/switches such as fan speed, temperature sensing, and power/reset
• Lets users switch between board logic vs. motherboard logic for fan control

Limitation called out:

• The design has a major flaw: most GPUs are now too long to fit into the intended cutout area (FE models may be exceptions). They mention specific cards (e.g., Strix) that don’t fit.

Review / Guide / Tutorial Elements (Explicit)

There is no formal “how-to” tutorial, but the hosts still provide:

• Tooling rationale
  • Why PresentMon is useful compared to older/less-valid FPS tools like Heaven
• Workflow guidance
  • Podcast capture routing to avoid audio desync
• Maker/tool commentary
  • Roles of different 3D printers
  • Importance of soldering/fume extractor considerations
• System engineering reasoning
  • Why DI water piping should be separated (e.g., plastic vs metal considerations)
  • Why acoustic treatment is necessary
