**The Challenge of Building a PC with No Thumbs**

I'm actually a bit hard to do this without thumbs, even if I had them right now.

Ken: You know who has thumbs?

Who has thumbs, Ken?

Ken: The wonderful PC builders at Micro Center.

Josh: Those PC builders will give you their thumbs to build your computer for a small fee. You can also use Micro Center's Intel custom PC builder, which is what Ken used. We chose the parts for this system, which of course includes that tenth-gen Intel Core i7 CPU. As well as with the Intel custom PC builder, you can see exactly what's in stock at your nearest Micro Center.

**The Build Process**

Add it to your cart and arrange same-day in-store pickup. You can even use their forum to give or receive advice on which parts to pick for your build. Maybe I should've checked there to see if anyone had advice on how to build PCs with no thumbs.

Oh! It bent and popped back off!

Oh, I got it, I got it, we're in.

(spining wheel)

(laughing)

Oh look at how easy this is with thumbs.

Ken: You can even do it behind your back.

All right which way do I have to stand to go...

Ken: Where are we dropping boys?

That sounds right, yeah.

How is that?

Ken: You are literally tittering on the edge of cheating.

Nope, I'm fine.

(timer ringing)

Dark mode! Excellent!

All right, I needed that. I needed the dark mode.

**The Results**

Okay, so now that I can hopefully get some work done, I need to move very, very quickly.

Oh my God, we'll need a second fan. I don't care that I'm not gonna have both fans. Cause I'm gonna lose my mind if I keep trying to do that anymore. That's really loose, but were gonna consider that to be installed.

(timer ringing)

Oh my God!

(wheel spinning)

Hands! So down here, think I can do this. Got it. Great, great. Is that in?

I don't think it's in. Yeah, I'm in.

Ken: Oh, look at that. Good for you.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

No!

Ken: Nope, Nope.

(timer ringing)

What are you doing? What are you doing? No, what?

You have one free space.

Oh! So if I do this...

Ken: No, absolutely not.

(wheel spinning)

Okay, so definitely a piece of the wheel just flew off and hit me. Does it count that the knot fell off of the wheel when I spin it? I feel like I get to spin it again. The wheel was broken.

(wheel spinning)

(gasp) YAY! I'm free!

Free falling!

Ken: The comments are gonna say that was rigged.

**The Final Results**

This is actually going to be really tough though.

Um, I need to like minimize my hands to get in here. I'm definitely cutting myself on the cooler right now, and I don't care. Ow! Got it, I got it, I got it. Don't worry about all of the extra wires. I did it, I just need to make sure it posts.

But I did it.

(timer ringing)

Hey! Things are happening, things are happening. It's very exciting. Not completely broken.

Ken: It actually looks so cool.

Oh look at that! It immediately comes up. Z490 I I710700K 32 gigs of ram. And so our Intel Gamer Day computer is finally complete.

**The Celebration**

So what better way to celebrate Gamer Day than by gaming?

See what I did there?

Ken: Wow, you're hitting 250 frames per second!

Am I really?

Ken: Yeah

This is actually pretty well turned up, obviously were playing at 1080P. There we go, I got to 131. I mean its not good, I'm 55,000 down the leaderboard. I'll see if we do a little better than that.

Kinda feel like I can sort of just put my foot... (yells) I saw that one coming.

Okay so look. Am I the greatest F1 2020 player in the world? Absolutely not. I am 52,000 fastest, apparently.

But thanks to our wonderful friends at Intel Micro Center, I have a wonderful new PC build, and if you guys are curious on not only how to build this specific PC with the configurator in the description, but if you need some help picking your own components, Micro Center has a wonderful forum available that you can check out with all kinds of helpful guides and tutorials.

We've also made a video or two on how to build a PC. But thank you very much for watching and thank you very much for subscribing to Austins Racing Corner, where I am 52,000th in the World.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey, what's going on guys, Ken here.So, today, our channelsponsor Micro Center and Intelwanted us to celebrateIntel Gamer Days 2020by issuing Austin Evans a challenge.And that is to see howfast you can build a PC.- Oh, okay.Fast?- Fast?- I'll be done in like, 15 minutes.- Ready?Set.Go!- Okay.5700XT Red Devil, we have a Noctua D15,650Y, is that SFX power supply?I should probably put my glasses on.Okay, what do we have here?We have Core i7-10700K, Z490I,so this is a TU150, okay, got it!- I've always wanted Austin Evansto build a PC for me,oh my god!(laughing)All right!So, right here,- Oh, there's a wheel? No,I don't want the wheel!- Right here, I have a list of obstaclesfor Mr. Austin Evans.- Wait, wait, let me see here.So, blindfold, spin again plus money,oh!Is that the St. Jude thing?- So, yes.So, on the The Test Drivers,Austin Evans,wait is it The Test Drivers?- It is, yes, that's thename of the podcast (bleep)So right now, my podcast,The Test Drivers,is helping to raise moneyfor the St. Jude's ChildrenHospital through Relay FM.Every time I land on this, I will donatean extra $100 to St. Jude.- Also, every 15 minutesthat this build goes on for,you're also donating $1000.- That's a lot of money!- It is a lot of money.And...(spinning wheel)what have we got?- Blindfold!All right, what's up?Where's my blindfold?- That's a pretty easy one.- So my plan right nowis while I can't see,something that will bereally easy to deal withwould be to actually get mymotherboard mostly setup.Line up here.Seems like a questionable ideato install CPU blindfolded,but it'll be fine, I'm sure.(alarm sounding)Damn!- All right!- Okay.- All right.(spinning wheel)Blindfold again!Damn, I actually don'twant to do blindfold again.- Well, too bad.- So what I'll do is,in my blindfold timer,I'll just do as muchstuff that's really simpleand that's just gonna likeburn time as possible,so I'll get my graphics card out.Okay, where's my case?Where'd my case go?How did I lose my case?Did you steal my case, Ken?- Ken: No.- My case was right here.- Ken: No, everythingis on the table dude.- Where is my SSD?(alarm sounding)Oh! Okay.How far off was I?Oh, my SSD was on top!(spinning wheel)Oh no! Not the spicy chip!I have to eat the spicy chip!- Ken: Oh, that sucks.So, the challenge forthis particular thing,is that you're supposedto eat the whole chip,and it's the spiciest chip,but in this particular case,since we only have one,and we have to potentially do it more.- Do it multiple times?- Yeah, so we're going togive you a piece of the chip.- God, that's so strong.All right, ready?Okay, here we go.(crunching chip)- It was atthis moment, he knew,he (beep) up.- Oh my god, (beep) (beep) (beep).Aww oh, (coughs)- Ken: Now would be abad time to point outthat Austin Evans has a doctorsappointment in two hours, which is partof the reason why today was perfect.- I think I'll throw up.- Ken: Oh no- I'm gonna throw up.- Ken: Oh go go!(retches) (throws up)damn that chip is, thatchips not good, dude.- Austin: No, this is bad.- Ken: We gotta lock this up in the safe.- Hello and welcome back to day two.I am feeling much much better witha little bit of sleep and we haveupgraded my wheel with new punishments.Including dark mode andinstead of the evil chip,I now just have to spin again anddonate more money to St. Jude.So seems like a win, win.- Here we go.- Hands behind back.- Oh all right, cool.- So I should reallylook to the system beforeI got started today.It was a bad idea butI'm gonna do it anyway.Hands behind back doesn'tmean hands on a desk.This is a bad ideaI can't reach themotherboard into the case allthe way there so I'mgonna do it down here.Plus I can see it better here.- Ken: How's your physical yesterday?- They didn't give me a physical.- Ken:Oh.- He was just like comeback in four months,I was like thanks doc. I appreciate it.I probably was in noshape, anyway yesterday.Wow, this is actually muchharder than I thought.(timer ringing)OKay, that's fine. I got one screw in.I don't consider that to be a success.- Austin: So the things that are left,I have to finish screwingin the motherboard.I need to install my graphics cardand make sure that it fits,which might be a little tight in its case.I also need to install my CPU cooler.Should I have done that before I put the ?There's a backplate on that, isn't there?I need to do CPU cooler.Probably should've thought of that, okay.(spins wheel)Dark mode!Okay, so unlike what we did yesterday.Instead of being blindfolded,were just gonna turn off all the lights.Make it pitch black in here.You have the night vision camera?- I do.- Okay (high pitched noise)So this is what it lookslike to the naked eyeon the camera, and thisis what it looks likeusing our night vision camera.This camera can see a lot better than myeyes can see right now.The good thing is, I have both of myeyes available, so thiscooler is what somemight call beefy.I really need to quickly decide if Ineed to take this aah,that sounded horrible.- Ken: Don't scratch our table, dude.- I just destroyed the table man.I made a grave error inscrewing the motherboard in.I really should've thought aboutmy build, I just jumpedright into it today.Some of this down here, oh that's a lot.Oh my God that's so much, I couldn't see.- Ken:You can wipe some of that right?- Austin: Nope, nope , it's fine.Ken: Is it?

Like your thumbs?- Yeah, I'm glad I have thumbs.Thumbs are really helpful.(timer ringing)I accomplished nothing.(laughing) (spinning wheel)Dark mode!- Ken: Eh, that's a little helpful.- You know dark modes myfavorite, I'll take dark mode.- Ken: All right, let's go dark mode.(high pitched ring)- So, my plan now isto go very very quicklyand accomplish what Icould not accomplish beforethanks to the magical power of my thumbs.I definitely have lostsome of my screws, damn.That sucks (sighs)Oww, the camera is hard.I can't see anything.- Ken: If there's any proofthat the room is very dark.- Austin: Yeah.

Why am I not?Wait. What am I hitting?- Ken: That's a lot of play- I know it's a lot of play.
