 So we've been here a few months now. We moved in in April. It's now December There's been lots of little changes from the initial build out. So I'm mostly gonna cover the changes I'll leave a link below in the comments for the build out itself so you can watch that entire video and See everything we did to kind of turn this place into from raw and empty to built-up store and some little things But I figured I'd give a quick tour and take a look around There's a you know some products on the shelf and the usual retail stuff we also keep several other things up there not just the products on the shelf, but the Other store stock items like our unifies and commercial equipment You know we actually keep it up front even though it's not something people really walk in and buy It's just an easy way to keep it organized then behind you behind me behind you behind there We have some of our Fun stuff that we did some art projects that we like you know just make sure the place has the right amount of geek Appeal including like our business card holder old motherboard. We glued these down normally. There's pens in here, but The pens are gone people took all of our pens We just have the business card holder here and where the pens belong you gotta get some more in order closer look at our motherboard art and Some of our CPU collection art. We just found a bunch of the old CPUs and throw them all up here And then on the other side Just all the red retail cables and you know things that we have up there our laptop box has actually been empty We haven't really found that laptops have been selling that well So or computers in general to retail the retails just been going down a lot Which is something we're kind of fine with your mostly focused on businesses. We do retail But with computers being so cheap people have been buying them, you know at all these Black Friday sales and things like that. So we haven't really put put much effort and put a lot of laptops in there This is our shop and tech area. This area is still where we do a lot of business There's not too much on here right now Just a couple computers in for repair that we see over here in the background and this is kind of our cool wheelie around and island that we built to Facilitate all the tech work now. Let's take a little bit closer look at how that's set up So Kyle's chilling out over there, but these are all designated work areas including all along here Where we have a KVM? One monitor that articulates so we can face it different ways Bring you down here with me So we have all the machines can be hooked up all along here And this goes all the way around there's eight stations that can be connected Then all the network ports along the wall Over here and here and that allows us to easily plug in a network all the computers and in all the networking We have in the back where our main server is is very back We'll get there and then up front We have this with cool lights in it and as you seen maybe the beginning there's lighting underneath all of the desks in here So we have this couple 24-port switches up here. I Have a whole nother virtual lab network video if you want to know how some of this connected and yes You may have noticed there's some LED lights in there We also had some LED lights that are front of the store and these knobs give us control over the color now because they're on the outside of the store and they're an inside you may have noticed that the Color is changing up here When we change the color on this knobs it changes the color lights And this is how we see what color they are because we put a couple lights in here to match the colors that go around the store So when the computers are all down here, and it's just sitting at the desk normally They'd be sitting where you're seeing the camera. We have mounted underneath here all of the wiring And then the wires we have these little short wires like this Because when you reach across you can just reach over grab a wire plug in mostly because most of the service in retail is not Laptops most of that's what this used for. There's also a series of network jacks underneath here So that makes it easy to plug in a network jack plug that in plug the power in for the laptop and be able to be able to line up a lot of computers at once and then when we're done Behind there, and I'm not going to be too close. It's got all the customer data on the sheets That's our outgoing shelf for when all of the systems are done or when we're waiting on parts to be ordered We put it all together and just set them all over here Now my video I did about data recovery. This is our little dedicated data recovery station Transfer station or up here is where we actually shred out all the old hard drives So this is where you drop men drop, you know Give rid of all the data on them for reuse or down here to transfer just docking station basic computer And that's where the wonderful printer is We're big Ikea fans and these are all Ikea boxes up here We have nice labels and put everything away. So one is miscellaneous crap with the rest of them Like, you know USB cables miscellaneous cards a couple extra routers and switches now We've talked about it probably looks worse on camera, but it is darker because we don't have lights on this side versus This side goes all the way back. So it does get a little bit darker over on here But it's really not that big of a deal the camera may make it look worse than it is But we actually work mostly with the lights out whenever there's no customer stuff We like working with the lights out over here My office is mostly the same for when I did the video for my office Not much has really changed in here a couple more knick-knacks up here I have all the lights behind my monitors because I generally kind of same thing I like to work with the lights off in here and let the camera adjust. I Do have probably more knick-knacks behind me So they just the webcam is here. So when I record a lot of my videos, this is the background But this is actually what's up above is miscellaneous things like My really old hard drive It says cumulus on it, you know, they were cloud thinking this is like 30 year old hard drive here I said like miscellaneous things like Einstein poster and I don't know This that and the other this is kind of shoot for the stars. It's my daughter's she made that for me. I like it It's got it's thinking about space All right, so as my office will come down the hallway a little further We have Pac-Man on the hallway The Mac side cover with a band-aid on it Recently installed coat hangers didn't have those before we just didn't know where to put our coats We finally started putting coat hangers everywhere This little area we kind of call cube land because there's a couple cubicles over here We're Corey and Kyle said and Marvin sits back here. They got these cool little glass dividers over here We had a client give us all these that we have a client that does Cubicles so they gave us a bunch of cubicles and they're really nice and we have nice lights and everything under them So let me see all the lighting on there and it looks pretty cool when you turn the lights out We make Marvin do all the paperwork. So he's got two printers over by his desk and then Trinkets and things. He's got a Skeletor holding up his business cards But we threw all the paperwork at Marvin. So it's actually pretty clean, but we just we pile papers on here So when he gets back, he's got something to do all the time All right, now we'll go further back and we'll head to Steve's office Bright monitors Christmas lights. I'm gonna turn the lights on for a second. This is the red room It's a works with the amount of rage Steve likes to feel every day of his life But he's got a couch where you can chill out work on projects. That's a little trinkets Steve works on larger physical projects. So he has a much bigger office than me But this is where he hides most of the time and answers the phones and does all support stuff puts the headphones on and locks his doors Now we're in the very back, which is where the server is now It's normally kept locked, but I have it unlocked jump in there in a second But give you a quick spin around this room here about 10,000 feet of cable over here. This is part of it We have other spots we keep more of it, but we keep a decent amount of it here in the store Then this is like the furniture room the bathroom. We have two bathrooms That's the one where it's awful looking because that one's not been remodeled We remodeled the one that the customer see it's nothing wrong with it. It's not dirty. It's just Dink, I don't know. It's it's old hasn't been remodeled and won't get remodeled But we keep a lot of things in stock patch panels. We actually keep there's a few you stack of use switches over here It's handy when customers the switch dies right away It's sometimes a temporary one that will put in to keep things up and running for them now the server itself Got all the cool LED lights in it. And now the only problem is it's hitting the door So I went the time move maneuver around here when the server doors open We got to kind of put it behind this. Oops hit this with the door. You got to put it behind this door That door Swing that one open Nothing go over here, and you can see inside the whole server. Oh, I Have some videos where I cover detail what all these servers are I'll leave a link in there It's kind of a virtualization tour and what's in our rack tour. Most of that hasn't really changed much Well, I just did the virtual edition tour or Sunday So this is exactly the same nothing has changed at all since then but this is what runs everything We keep the locked and we also like a lot of stickers, you know I just any time I find cool logos for different things when I go and travel We put some of them on here. I've got some over there lots up in the front Here's the whole front of the case. I'm a sucker for Any type of Linux or a free software foundation logo? So pretty much top to bottom We've got lots of stickers and logos and everything on here. It just I don't know. I like to it feels better I mean making it look plain and boring would really bother me I'm drinking morty on here way better and even a penguin count logo Or mascot from one of the penguin kind events here being calm that org if you want to know what that is Now around the back of the server more stickers over here But if you're gonna show you in case anyone's wondering it's a little cramped back here The back of the cage is kept locked But we actually put this on and I call it an umbilical cord now I left the cable with a service loop. This is our Comcast cable that comes in it does not go in the umbilical cord But this is split tubing and it's just to keep it looking neat So these are all the wires from the shop that feed the server now the reason there's so much slack here It's on wheels, so I Can just move the whole thing and I can just give it a push It allows us to easily move around things clean under it or whatever we got to do And this is the power cord for the server, so it's on its own dedicated circuit with a twist lock Which means I can pull on this and it's not coming out but it's it's not its own dedicated right here circuit and that goes right into a UPS and filter system, so it's completely You know isolated if I pull this it doesn't blip doesn't affect the servers We got some decent amount of runtime on it, so it works well now It may seem childish, but it's humorous toss the plumbing is exposed in the bathroom And so is the electrical back there. It's a pretty sizable. It's full 88 size bathroom But this plumbing we painted it green and you kind of may have noticed the theme here The whole bathroom is super market of them like here This is actually the electrical box and yeah, some people like it's childish, but I don't care It's funny to me that it's like this So that brings us into the kitchen slash studio area Some shelves up there where we keep boxes and stuff like that kitchen sink Cooking spot over here toaster oven. That's all we really need besides the microwave oven we have right over here. Kureg George Foreman grill rice cooker We like rice kind of goes good with all the hot sauce feet So you can kind of sees a pretty big studio right here I don't remember the exact dimensions, but it's a pretty decent size We have this IKEA lamp here because we actually there's 550 watts Used and these are led it's still 550 watts for all the lighting in here And as you it's hard to tell from the video But when you go from this room to the other room It's more than twice the lumens because we use ultra bright lighting But that makes it really easy to film things in here now. Let me get closer to the studio area This is the boom for the microphone because of product shots, which we have some products right here We will make sure Let me get the camera straight we make sure that we have all the product shots Nice and clean so we light them up a little bit brighter with this another LED light here I don't think we have this shelf up here, which just has some miscellaneous things some of my old 2600 Magazines are on there and of course you may have noticed the sound changed a little bit in here We get the sound deadening and we have a Zumba studio next door cameras crooked All right, we have a Zumba studio next door and that is Bleeding through maybe a little bit when you're over there. They turn the music up We only have to deal with it about an hour or two each night Not bad, but a little bit of the noise will bleed through a little bit But once you get to the studio here because the if you're looking through there That's the tech area where we started once I close that door to sound ending here It means we can record and don't really have to worry about anything There's another business because we're in strip mall on the other side here But I think they have a rule of filing cabinets. We don't hear anything from them They're really quiet and if you've watched any of the other videos you probably already know what's in here the Wall of condiments and sauce now if someone is coming for and they are completely right and I they all fess up to it I tried a little bit healthier. They don't There's mostly our people here are consuming just mass quantities of chicken nuggets because the chicken nugget thing like Israel they have a thing for chicken nuggets And my wife is like don't they ever get tired of eating like four boxes these a day and their answers No, because they just use a different sauce each day. So that's that's the theory on it You know as that we do that, but we try to eat actually a lot here We got this cool kitchen table we set up, but we try to eat a lot here It's part of the culture here and part of how it's bringing us together We talk about things and if you've ever had to deal with support and doing it You know how agitating it can be sometimes because no one calls you because they're happy well Some people do but did most of the calls are like this ain't working. I might get fixed immediately I don't care what you're doing right now. My problem is a priority So you kind of have to run through and deal with that and sometimes that's a that's another video I may make a little bit of a rant about because it's not that they don't understand technology It's sometimes just the behaviors that they have Outside of that they can drive you a little nuts and I if you've watched any of my vlogs You've probably seen us rant a little bit about that from time to time. We did a couple posters Show me real quick. Can you guess what channel that is? We actually got stickers everywhere for it We got more stickers. We've if you were watching a video you may have noticed that they've been decorating a little bit around the walls Rick and Morty huge fans Love the cartoon. It's raunchy. It's awful, but I won't I like it. It's funny It's funny in a very wrong way The walls are still a little empty. I'm being picky about what goes on the rest of them We have some other artwork ideas. I may have my sister draw something I don't know that's that's all some of the future projects that we have Oh and hangers over here is where there's a stands on there And this is where all the photography equipment when we turn this into a meeting room for clients We have chairs that are kind of sitting over here Chairs over on the wall that are all hung up. We break these down. So we have client meetings So like we're really I'm really picketer about everything being like organized and clean in here So it's not like I stopped and scrub the place down just for this video We are it stopped by any time you'll see we're generally organized or if you watch a video made We don't stage anything keeping organized as part of being It's part of keeping my sanity. That's definitely part of it It's also part of being able to manage a business effectively I don't know how anyone works and just pure chaos of stuff everywhere I see a lot of computer shops like that and it just maybe it works for them Maybe they're really talented and just chaos is what works for them It's not what works for me having everything organized really really helps So we focus on each project on to each project organized and things are following step Oh one last thing to again one last one last last thing. I will do soon. What's in this cabinet? I'm not going to open up because this cabinet is a little disorganized Hmm, it's a little but it's still even disorganized for me is a few things are not in the box They belong in But I'll do a whole gear breakdown for everything I use to film and record and tools and doodads I have besides what's on here, but that's all this including our podcast equipment So if you watch the how we do a podcast video That is the table we do the podcast on and each time we're done with it Everything gets broken down into certain containers and organized and all put back in here on a shelf Because comes back to organization and it's the other thing up here is the the extra lights and things like that We have a large softbox for that. So that's it for our shop tour So if there's something more you want to see is there's something you want to see in detail Or you think I should do a video on if this makes you dizzy me panning around like this let me know in the comments below and I'll make a video about that and That's it.
