Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 205 of the NCC podcast, the official podcast of the NCC community. This is a very special late afternoon 3 p.m. PST podcast. This usually isn't our sorted time, but it's a special day because we have a very special guest. But you can usually catch the NCC podcast on your official NZC Twitch on Fridays at 10 a.m. Pacific Saturday time. and it's available to stream on demand on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud. My name is Mike. It was me.

It is the legendary NZT Chinchilla. NCC chinchilla. Can you say hi to our audience real quick? Hello, everyone. I'm NZXCenticella. My real name is Mark. People are asking, are we getting a face review? Nope.

Nope. You're not getting a face reel. Sorry, y'all. I was thinking about trying to do like, I was trying to like grab his face and make it in Chichilla. But yeah. Yeah, same thing. I said the same thing. Your voice is super deep.

It's crazy. I was not prepared for this. Yeah. But everyone, before we get into the podcast and the rating setups, I just want to mention a couple things. First, we are doing two special giveaways. We are giving way Apucci. He's right here. We are giving two poochies away.

We're giving one to those that do submit. So if you want your submission to be rated live, DM the NXT Twitter account, I'll try to get to it as best as I can. But if you don't have a submission or aren't submitting or we don't get to it, we are still doing a glean giveaway, Esquimation Point giveaway and chat. We are also going to be giving away a poochie to those there.

And we'll also have a secret code word at the end of the stream that gives us 500 extra entries and most of the time like i say those that use the the code word do tend to win so stick around to the end it's it's got to be a fun one uh but first before uh we get into rating the setups i have a couple questions because this is the first time we've ever had you on the podcast and you are kind of a legend in the nccc community so first uh can you introduce yourself to the audience and like what made you decide to make this chinchilla account? So I made the NDA Chinchilla account July 18th during the summer. So I was scrolling one day on Instagram.

Found like Discord. You guys like screenshoted the Discord name was like Chin 6T Chilla Thank you It was like Yeah I was like Chin ZXT

Chinchilla ZXT Or something like that I remember that So I saved it Made the account I think he made an account too But

I got it first Then posted some People destroying PCs And Basically just kept going Yeah I mean it's at like 31 32,000 followers on Instagram right now.

Yeah, I'm like that. Yeah. No, Lauren. No, that's this is the thing, guys. Like, so the pretense for those that don't know this chinchilla meme over here to, oh, my or your left, my right. The, there is this really weird meme. I don't even remember I, this is the weirdest thing. Okay. So I made this meme.

It was this slowdown version of funky town. You know, the, what was it? It's a, I got to make a move to a town that's right for me. Boop, bo, bo, bo, bo, do, do. Like, it was just super slow down. And someone put, like, some random brain rot meme on it. And I thought, oh, that's funny. I could do something like this.

And at the same time, someone under Discord, Dr. Delectable, he has, like, a bunch of parts. I think he works like R or may or something like that, but he had a bunch of dead parts. And he was just like, I'm just going to break some of these. Do you want videos? And I go, this is perfect. Yeah, send me the video. So I download the videos. I was like, can I use it?

He goes, yeah. So I posted the video of him like snapping a graphics card or scraping a CPU or something like that. And I'll put it to this version at the end of the thing. It would be the Chinchilla face right here. And it. By the way, there is social media, for those that don't know, social media is ruthless sometimes. There are times where I spent like two or three weeks on like planning, editing,

you know, a video and it gets like 5,000 views. This chinchilla meme, I made in like five, ten minutes. And it became the most viewed videos across all of our social platforms. And no, it was not me. Mark here, he just randomly made the account, which is very smart, by the way, very smart. And you made it account. Did you have a specific goal when you made this account? Like, did you make it just because it was funny?

Or were you going to be like, I'm just going to hop onto the train? I made it. So you guys could just follow me. That was just the goal. And then I was just done. Really? does so the only goal is just for us to just go oh that's funny and then now now you just are posting and it's gone to third so when when you made the account how quick did it just like blow up to 30,000

followers took took the whole year took the whole year i mean yeah i mean i've had my like i have a personal account i don't do like social media on it i just post for my personal sake and i only i have less than a thousand followers and i've had this instagram account since i was in like high school so a year to 30 000 is pretty good pretty dang good do you ever think the account was going to get this big or were you going to even do anything on this account um no i just post random things do you have a um i mean gosh it's for those that don't know it has been a one year anniversary of the is like Cintichilla. So the NC's Chilla has been here for one year.

Last week, I think, right? The 18th or something? Yeah. Yeah, 18th. Did you have a, what's your, do you have a favorite, like, content you created or posted? Like, do you have, like, the number, like, if you think of, like, one piece of post that you go, this is the one that is my favorite. Do you have that?

Johnny and the baby chinchilla one. Which one was that? Take a squid game win Oh, oh Let me see if I can You know what I can pull it up Let me see I can pull it up I forgot about that one

Yeah honestly There's been Yeah happy anniversary chinchilla So everyone saying happy anniversary Uh Gosh man Like It was weird because

I did not expect us To be working with you, which is very funny because like, I sent this over to Ivan and Brian and they're just like, oh, that's interesting. That's very funny. And we just like left it because we thought it was fun, right? But then all of a sudden, you started blowing up and people, if I didn't post anything that

didn't evolve and succeed chichilla, people would be mad. Like, I would get DMs being like, where is the chichina? I'm mad. Where is it? And I'd be like, guys, I can't put. Then I had to start putting him into every. single post even if it wasn't chichilla post so it was like a uh like a like a like a pc sale i would have to put him in it because then people will be like oh there he is because if i don't i i i they get mad uh did

did you have like i mean gosh i mean we've been working with you and for those that don't know we actually supplied him with like a full pc setup because we wanted to make sure that he stayed as the ncccc chila and make content for us. So did you ever think that you would ever get something out of this? No. I just wanted to follow. You just, that's all you want.

You just wanted one follow. You're like, yeah. Now you have a full PC setup with like keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, you got everything, don't you?

How has it been since switching over to this like whole new setup now? Good. I just hurt my back because I'm sitting in a bed Oh you don't have like Oh yeah I forgot about your desk is too small Isn't it? Yeah

Jeez Well everyone here Just letting you know if you make Content for us Or you Or you somehow make a Like a crazy trend And you get

Like views and impressions and engagements I'll try my best to work with you guys because like, I mean, look at what we're doing right now. Do you have like a, do you have like a, the most surprising or like the most rewarding things that you started the N60 Chichilla? What do you mean by that? Like, you know, someone talking to you that you're like,

wow, I would have never, you know, I would never done this before or like a certain person that you DM or something like that. I'll be just a bunch of creators DMing me Do you have a list of creators that Have talked to you Yeah but

It's too much to list out And then Do you have a Do you have like a future For the NCTGEL? Like do you have an idea Of what you want to To do

Probably use it To post like Engineering things I know. Engineering. I've been getting into, yeah. Oh, this is also a shadow. You are looking for an internship or something like that, right?

Yep. I mean, if you want anyone's in engineering and they want someone that is already a very successful business, you guys can DM Mr. NCC to Chile here. Yes, yeah, I just post picks of dogs and gain no one's followers. Yeah, that's basically what I do.

Rudy in the chat because please work with me, Mike. I need to understand how to do social media. I don't even know what I'm doing, guys. So your guess is good as mine. But I mean, no one doing to. Honestly, like, okay, working in social media, is it as,

is it exactly what you predicted posting and doing all this stuff? Or is it just like, I have no idea. I have no idea. Oh, do you have a specific engineering you want to get into? mechanical mechanical engineering oh okay so if anyone's in mechanical engineering or know some people that you know need some interns i mean i think i have the guy right here but uh before we get into it i think

we have to be we have to go ahead and rate some uh setups so let me go ahead all right everyone this is the time we are rating your guys's setup so Mr. NCC Chila, Mr. Mark and I are going to be rating some setups that you guys have submitted to us on his Instagram DMs, our Twitter or Facebook. If you guys want to have your setups rated live, go ahead and DM the NZXT account on Twitter. And I'll see if I can try to get to your account during this time. Okay. I'll try my best. It's not a guarantee, but I'll try my best.

We already have a couple. And hey, there's PNWA. I mean, if there's someone that you're looking for inspiration for setups, there he is PNW right now. But so these are the rulings. We will both be rating it. This is, I want to preference. This is, you know, our opinion and we're all for fun. We may give low ratings.

We may give high ratings. So please don't take like offense to it or anything like that. This is all for fun. You guys submitted it. We're rating it. I, you know, we just want to give criticisms, but we're not to try to bash you down, right? So, Mr. Chichilla, I don't know if he's going to do any, you know, he's going to give you one or two because he's not approved of it. Hey, that's on him, not me.

Just saying, yes, this is the original photo of Chichilla. I don't know why someone put this face on it, but it worked. So, are you ready, Merck? Yep. all righty so let's go ahead and go ahead and switch on over to the first one Damn. Here we go. Will it be the time I finally send in my setup?

Dude, Sage, DM me right now on Twitter. Or maybe he could do it on Twitch. I'll see if I could do either. Seriously. All right. So the first one from Mario Mibo, Mibo, I think is correct, is Pucci Ivan says hello. All right.

What do you think? What do you think? Go ahead and piece it down and tell me what you think. Yeah. has these IDs. There's a laundry basket Nintendo Switch right there.

Oh yeah. That you funny. Is he an Animal Crossing? Yeah, it's Animal Crossing. Okay. I like it. Yeah,

your collection. You're a pig. Well, yeah, why he's type of pig here? Is that Nissan? I would give this. So 5 is baseline. What do you think?

Um, 4 out 10 Cause Or is your PC is on the floor Oh yeah PIS on the floor is tough Well I mean They're making do with what they got right

Like they have a small desk They're making do with what they got I I actually I'm not sure If they're a PC Or a console gamer But

I mean I think it's fine So you give it a 4 or 10 I think I'll give this A 5 maybe a 5.5 by 10. It's a great.

It's a great setup for what you need to do, right? Like, I just wish you had a little bit more mouse space if possible, right? Like, for me, like, I hate wrist aiming. So for those that don't know, like, you want as much, you want to basically use your arm when you have to use your whole arm instead of like doing this because this will get you carpal tunnel down the road. So having this small amount, it's pretty tough.

I would also want you to clean your monitor too. There's a lot of fingerprints on this one. But I'll give it a 5.5. I think you're working with what you got, you know, but if you can, I would get a bigger desk just so that, or maybe slant the keyboard just so you can, you know, move that mouse a little bit. So just a little bit extra, but not bad.

Not bad so far. All right. So you're 4 out of 10, 5.5.5. I do love the plushies, though. We are doing a chippy and a chippy giveaway here. This is Intel plushy if anyone wants to check our socials. Yeah, 100% here for ideas. Yeah, this is what we're here for. We're here to give inspiration and maybe even, you know, make you guys go, oh, maybe I want to do that with my setup. Oh, I'm, oh, this one's so good. This is from the Fallout guy. I mean, God, a follow-out guy, if you don't know, one, he's a very big follow-out fan, but he's actually visited the office and gave us a bunch of stuff for our office. Super cool dude. We actually have some fun stuff with him coming up soon, so keep an eye out.

But guys, look at this setup. He's got the Nuka-Cola thing. Oh my gosh. What do you think, Mark? Eddie cool. I hate that you can't see, like, the fake plants. Yeah, you're stream. deck, your tiny speakers, got the NG-XT gear and the NGX-H-9 flow.

You also got your chair. Yeah, Fawkeye is awesome. 9 out of 10 because you basically got everything. Yeah, I don't think there's much you can improve on. I don't even know what you can approve on of this. It's like, gosh, I mean, you have a theme. which is crazy. Most people don't.

I don't have a theme of my setup. I just have random stuff. Do you have a theme with yours or do you just have everything kind of spread out? It's kind of messy here. Yeah, exactly. Like I don't have a theme, but like this is awesome. Like you have a setup, like a theme, got the fallout theme. The graphics card being read as well, that's a chef's kiss right now.

How small. Yeah, this is a small monitor, but honestly, I kind of dig the small monitor for like Discord and stuff. Like I honestly, did you, did you switch? Because I know you have two monitors now, right? Did you switch it to a vertical? Yeah. Yeah, you say, yeah, you know, I've been mean to switch mine to a vertical for a while too.

And honestly, I think I may do it, too. I mean, gosh. I didn't use it a lot. You don't use it a lot? Yeah, I don't use it a lot. Yeah, I mean, it's nice to have it there as like an option, right? I have three right now. And honestly, I'm going to change one of mine to a vertical suit.

But I got to get it. just a tan because I really can't even the cables look good you know obviously I think you would move this this is more for aesthetics but you would move this if you want to game you have plenty of mouse space here you move that over to the left cables look good the Nukukukola sign got to give it and I literally can't think of something that I would want to add because you have two monitors maybe a third monitor but like that's peer preference and you honestly don't do it so well done I got to give that a 10 yeah versus honestly a second monitor is a game cheater Did you have a second monitor beforehand?

Or did you only have one? I only had one. You only have one. And then getting a second monitor, how different has it been? I mean, not. I only use it for projects. But you can still use it, though. It's really nice.

They're maybe one large and one smaller or two of the same. Ooh, what do you? What's your opinion on that? So would you rather have one large in like the middle than like one to the side? Like a small one? Or would you do two, two, or one by one, right? by each other as the same side. What do you think?

I would go to, too, because I don't really like moving the tabs over. Would you, would you do like the one monitor in the center or would you do it side by side? Like, the line is like right in the middle for you. Oh, yes, side by side. You do side by side.

Interesting. Because I'm, I'm like, if I'm, I play a lot of games. So like me, I like to have, one center monitor and then like a side monitor or even for me i have one big monitor and two monitors on the side i like that a lot i don't know how to feel about two side by side like if you're looking at it they're perfectly symmetrical rather than like one or one to the side you like the symmetrical yeah okay i think i got to go oh man that's tough i i personally like one and then like a small

But I mean it's entirely for your aesthetics and function. I think function is very important too. If you're not going to get bothered by like the line in the middle, then do the two. Or you can do one very, very large one, you know, like those crazy like 50 inch monitors that people have. So anyone? Yeah. So this next one from you commented on this and I had to include it.

So this is from Chris Vector. Big fan of the messy unorganized. gaming space and um just looking at this you're like oh you know the books but i want you guys to look at the the the the pc and the sticker on the pc oh no very interesting design choice to put this on your pc I feel like there's a lot of stickers out there that you can put on this is a sticker that I did not expect for people to have what are your thoughts on this when he saw the sticker

negative rating negative rating was the negative how low negative one negative one uh yeah I mean okay The setup itself, there's a lot you could do.

One, looking at the mouse space. Why is there so much stuff on your mouse when you can just like push it over to the side? There's so much space here. Hey, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a stickler on using books or wood or whatever for, you know, you don't, you can't put a monitor arm or thing. But I think a monitor arm, like a dual monitor arm, 30 bucks would go up. long way with the setup uh gotta cleave the desk you really gotta there's so much going on here i like the mic setup though a lot of medicine yeah a lot of medicine a lot of pills and uh i don't know what this is i think i know where it is i'm not gonna say webcam is very high i mean my webcam's high

too but i like to have like a like a down look why so why so why spend $30 on an arm when the books are already laying around you right you're right meme you're right i i can't say him yeah maybe he maybe he's just a really tall torso to person you know oh but that feels weird too like if you're gaming like i like the game like kind of like at my like elbow height the game like elbow down would feel a little weird like like like waist down And a microphone, I think, is attached to here next to to the PC. Yeah, I think we gotta get, I gotta get this like a two.

There's so much that could be changed. So much happening. Yeah, what's on the chair? I think it's just a pillow, like a, like a butt pillow. Just a simple butt pillow. But yeah, you gotta clean this up, man. You gotta clean this up a little bit. Should have a dormant.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, why do you have a doorback house rules? I'm right. Yeah, it's like you have a door mat on the thing. I love this though. Honestly, I'm going to give us a like. I love this. This is a great setup.

But we all started here. We all started here. It's a plate? No, I know it has to be a pillow. You're not going to put a plate here, guys. A chair? Yeah, on a chair. No, it's got to be like a pillow, like a white pillow.

You can't you're not sitting on a plate y'all come on if that's pants on your chair it's crazy yeah you got to clean up your desk man you really do that's a bowl guys please i'm giving you the benefit of it now all right let's go to the next one oh this is from uh sincina of very awesome uh 3D artist uh she uh made um i think a pooh one for Christmas I believe it was a holiday a really cool artwork but like look at this and yeah we did send her a poochie because you know it's awesome but like look at this wall of keyboards and everything oh I think that keyboard is worth more than what I have in my wallet right now oh yes guys you can send DMs to the NXT account

see Sage I will I will post your set up Sage I what do you think? Yeah. No. Cool wall of keyboards. Looks like you have a lot more inside. Even behind the monitor. Oh my gosh. How many?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15 keyboards. Why do you have 15? Oh my gosh, I don't even, I only have one. That's it. What is the middle of the monitor? I don't. I don't know what that is.

If anyone knows what this is, we would would love to know what this is, but, I mean, it looks beautiful, though. I mean, it's aesthetically pleasing. It displays GIFs. Oh, okay, gotcha. I see the switch there, too.

What do you think? I'll give this, it's an 8.5. Wow, this is 8.5? What do you would you do differently? Bobby change up how you put your keyboards on the side. Oh, yeah, all this. Yeah.

Ah, gosh, man. Thank you. Aesthetically, it's like a 10 out of 10. Aesthetically. Personally, I would put it like a 9.9.5 because I like to have multiple monitors. I know aesthetically it's not. best i get it i get it is not the best when you have multiple monitors but i prefer it but gosh i'm 9.5 i got to give a 9.5.5 just because i personally would like a second monitor aesthetically

this thing is amazing big enough yeah yeah it's it's it's nice i love the desk too is very wide open that's like my desk right now i i get us at 9.5 well done sinceina this is from vans camera roll. Am I too late? She said. I mean, gotta get some props for the NCX-T-H-9 right there.

I think it is. Yeah. What do you think? Yeah, nature lover right here. You have the plants in the side. She looks like a night gamer because... What time is that? Military time.

Yeah. Oh, it's a raised of... Oh, it's a standing... It's like a standing desk. Wow, I didn't even think about that. It's very... You know what? That's...

You're right. It looks... It's very comfy, very cozy, saying, like, it's a very cozy setup. What are you thinking? What, anything popping out at you? I'll give this a nine because... Wow.

I like the nature vibes. Hmm, okay. I see. I see. I'm kind of catching onto your aesthetics. Yeah, I, gosh. I mean, one, I want to point out the lighting here, that is someone that streams very well.

One, their camera already, amazing. Like, they definitely stream a lot. The light here, so it's not super harsh in the front, smart. Oh, God, I didn't even notice that cable management's on point. So all the cables are probably underneath the desk. Under you very well done. Oh man, I got, oh, I see some attack on Titan. I appreciate that.

Yeah, clock on the wall with the cable. Yeah, but I feel like you can't do too much with, you can't really do too much when, uh, it's like one of these, unless it's like a wireless one, but like, I feel like you gotta give this like, shoot. I think I got to get it's a 10 out of 10. I think it's my second 10 out of 10. Yeah, I mean, I just love the aesthetics of this.

Yeah, you know what? the green accents to give color. Donnie, I agree. We've got to do 10 of 10. Like, this thing, this thing's nice. Mike's really stretching out. I'm okay with that, actually. I prefer, like, my mic is all the way over here.

Like, my mic's all the way over here. I personally like when it's stretched out. Yeah, this one really, yeah, I would take this setup any day. I'd give it a good 10. This is from Elfew Bliss, another beautiful. setup. What do you think, Mark? Collector. Funker pops. What do you think about a monitor on top of another

monitor? That's as long as a question I'm asking you. Probably hurt my neck because it's a little cop all the time. Anything else? It's probably it. I mean, yeah. A lot of anime. I see, I think it's Machima. Is this Machima? Oh, Mockiama doesn't have horns. I thought, is this power?

I don't even know, but, um, I want the light fall on the bottom monitor. Light fall. Oh, this thing right here? I don't think so. I don't think it will fall. The front two monitors are a bit lower, though. Yeah, I'm not sure how to feel about a low monitor and a high monitor.

Not, I'm not the biggest fan of it. Aesthetically, it looks great. Love the stuff here. keyboard, mouse, mouse pads looks great. DC on point. I actually don't even think, Wado, I actually don't even think it needs us. Do you think it needs a tidy up?

I think it looks pretty good from what I see. I see a lot of cables on the bottom. Yeah, but like, I feel like that's something that you just can't. I feel like aesthetically you have to deal with one of those two. I think having cables on the bottom is not the worst, but we'll have to see like a full picture of it just you know yeah the main monitor being low i'm not the biggest fan of uh for those that don't know ergonomically your eyesight should be like

at the middle if not a little underneath them of your monitor if it's too low you're going to get like you're going to be getting that hump that tech that because you're just physically lower not the biggest fan of that so that will market what what what score are you going to get seven seven okay I think I'll give it at least a 7.5 maybe an 8 I feel like I got to give it just aesthetically it looks beautiful but there's functionally there's a couple things that I would do like raising that up a little bit more and then dealing with the top monitor I don't know how that's going to work but like I like to have my monitor directly in center but desk is super clean I'll give it an 8 I'll give it a Oh, and this is a video. I think people like this just because of the cats. But, uh, who, wait, hold on. Let me figure out who from Olivia.

Oh, wait. I think she's in, oh yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait. She's in chat right now. In addition, DMs. Okay, I'll pull up the one in DMs real quick, but I will let you, Mark, look into us as I bring up the messages. Mm-hmm. Again with the nature vibes, where you like it? This to me is like a 10 because I really love green.

It's my favorite color. And cozy vibes too. So you got all your controllers and your Nintendo Switch and your beloved cat. Oh, she has a chinchilla magnet too. too. Heck yeah. Right here in the top right, you see it.

Studio Ghibli has already getting some extra plunch just because a studio Jim. I mean, watch that movie. Dude, I mean, you haven't seen Toro or Spirit Away.

I was seen Toro. Castle. Oh, dude, you got it. You got to spend a day just, it's such a, you got to see it on like a good TV because the artistry of Oh god, what's his name? I can't remember his name, but the artist's name.

Beautiful. It's literally a masterpiece. What's your rating on this one? I think I got to, you know what? This is everything that I love. This is everything I love. You have the aesthetics. You have like everything looking good.

You have a vertical plus you have the two Mars on the side, three monitors is awesome uh very big bonus points for me got the controllers up here i like that you're making use of the space too in the corner a lot of people thank you miazaki um a lot of people in the corners they don't utilize that i'm not utilizing my corner at all but you're utilizing it with the shelves like you said the plants the plants on the um the mic stand aesthetically i love that i love that a lot Cables look good. Honestly, it's also a great cable hider, too.

I can't think about that. I will only give this a 10 out of 10. If you tell me your cat's name as the only time I'll give a 10 out of 10. But gosh, this is a beautiful, beautiful setup. Wow. I need a know of the cat's name, though, because they look very cute. Yeah, I mean, look at this. His name is Rui.

Oh, good. I mean, look it. Look, look. He's getting all nice and comfy right here. Does he jump up onto the desk then? Or does he just jump straight into your, this little holder thing? By the way, I love this.

I love that you have a holder for your cat, like a little cat fed holder on the desk. That is so cool. He'll do both. I get one. Yeah. Yeah, can we get one for a chinchinilla? We'll put that in a marketing budget for you, man.

Yeah, three months. monitors that I mean I literally have nothing I would not want to change anything to set up There is nothing in this setup that you I would want to change so well done well done on this And now to go to a different type of setup this is from Vove river rate this build Oh, I mean Hey Olivia, I'm sorry I think I may have to make your 10 a 9 because I think I found the real 10 out of 10 here Why is there's so much... Yeah, now that's valid, yeah, thank you, Olivia.

I know you would understand. Oh gosh, this... This is... Are these aren't even plugged in? Yeah, the PSU doesn't even fit the case. Yeah, I think the PSU's too big. So you literally... it has to be like on the side here. cables are all out.

There's no way to like... Well, can't you just put the PSU here? Oh no, but then the... You can't plug it in. This is like one of those ones where you stare at it for a while and it just gets worse as you keep looking. What do you give this a rating?

I give it five. I mean, I love things that look kind of off, but it's not for me.

I can't believe you making this one a 5, but the other guy that actually has like a working PC and everything was a negative one because of a sticker. I mean, oh boy, there's just so much, there's so much going on, man.

Yeah, diabolical that this PC was a 5, but yeah, how's this one a 5? But yeah, yeah. How was this one a five for Mario? But this one's the same. I mean, you see my content. I do see your content.

So I'm going to have to give this. I'm going to go two. I was going to say one, but I can't be too much of a hater because this could be a first PC. Can't be, can't harm on it. Can't, can't go like that. So I got to give, I got to give two. Got to give it to. I would like to give it a one, but I think I'm getting a benefit of doubt.

From Cole Milos. Ooh, not bad setup. Okay, so you got some. I don't know what artwork this is, but I love it. But looking at the setup. Oh, another three monitor setup. Okay. Okay.

I think another H-9 flow, I believe, is one of ours. What do you What do you think? Yeah, I did this one. So you got Montfras is from Mexico So I have DD Tech

plush Oh yeah They have two PCs Or is that No, it's just a side profile Yeah, it's just one PC, one PC You have this small, large In the vertical

So it's a mass too. Well, things blurred out. I'll give this seven, seven out then. Hmm. You know what? I think this is also a seven. I think there are a couple things that I would change. A lot of cables here I can see. You can try to hide that some way. I would like that. Um, I also do not like having something on top of an exhaust panel because you know, that doesn't help with, uh, temps. So I would try your best if you can.

You have so much room on this side. If there's a way to look at it, I'd route it over here. That would be great. Um, yeah, uh, someone said it. Uh, yeah, death. Uh, oh, defake. Uh, a little bit more amount of space of possible. I know if you slant it, you'll have, but I think getting a little bit more.

more mouse pad would be best. Even maybe even having this off the mouse pad just so you have a little bit more room. Again, guys, carpal tunnel is awful. I had it for a little bit, but I worked it out and it's it's painful. So I'll give us a good seven. It's humble, humble, but it's what we have. You know what? I agree. It's it's what you have and I'm not going to knock you down for it.

So well done. I'll give that a good seven. All right, we'll try to, we'll try to hurry through some of these because, uh, sorry, I'm a yapper. Ooh, from V-NOR gaming. Oh, look at this set up. A dual PC. A dual PC setup and looks like there's even a custom PC over here with a glass engraving. Ooh, what are you thinking?

Big anime fan. One punchment poster right there. So, big into astronomy. I got the Kylo case. From One Piece, I think. Yeah. And we got

a wolf back screen. Yeah, I know. I was thinking of that, too. Yeah. Are you suburbers or speakers? They need some buffers. They're these are our speakers on the desk. Yes.

They play the top. I wonder what Dragon does it specifically. It looks so cool, though. Yeah, I agree. I wonder what this one is. So Wado says they could do with some chairs I agree

I think this should be some chairs I just took it off I mean they do look like standing desks honestly so maybe they don't need chairs Can look at the light Yeah you know I do like this little light bar too It's pretty cool What you're ready on it? I mean the ceiling

The ceiling oh what the heck Yeah you're missing part of your ceiling I don't know how to feel about this I honestly think it's honestly cool because it's a two PC you know there's two PCs you know two setups in this room kind of side by side but I don't know how to feel about it what do you thinking?

I would give this um six wow you're getting this one at six yeah wow okay I mean I gotta give this at least a eight this is at least an eight because of the cable management cleanliness and i think you are right someone said in chat this is a uh uh a him and her setup because uh in his profile says uh oh sorry uh it is uh two setups yeah it looks like i'm sorry i'm trying to read it uh engineer twitch affiliate content

creator of a see oh sorry it is uh two setups is for his husband uh it looks like two setups and yeah i think they just moved the chairs out of the way just so that they had room i got to get this at least an eight guys like i can't i don't know why i'm having such a hard time thinking that this is higher or this is lower than eight i don't know why there's something about it that i'm like i feel like there could be more but i don't have anything to say i mean everything looks good side by side lighting i think the chairs are to the side i'm going to give it a benefit of davis push it to the side for the photo. Standing desks.

They are standing desks. They are standing desks. That's true. Yeah, you know what? I'll give it an eight. I got to give it an eight. Yeah. I got to give an eight.

You got to do. All right. This is from the Pangeman. It's a video. So it may be a little tough to read this one. It's kind of blurry a little bit, but I'll try to slow it down apart. So it looks like. a dual monitor setup a little bit of clutter on this from what I'm seeing really small space

really small space okay so there's the mouse pad and it looks like you got some drinks here a I'm not I also do the same thing but I don't like how it's on the mouse pad I am a big stickler about having drinks on mouse pads because if you spill some beer or wine or something like that that's rough that's rough um and then there's the PC the PC though beautiful I mean who means right next C yeah I also do not like how the drinks are next to the PC also yeah no no drinks near to PC I there you know especially drinking you get a little rowdy or you get angry slam your desk boom it goes into your PC see it's ruined so oh I don't know why are you thinking I don't really like the

how the monitors look because if you look at it it's kind of at a very angle yeah yeah the angles so got odd you so out you saw all these lights and we like like like fibranty like and how your PC like right right next to you, probably got my arms piece. I'll give this a four. I'm gonna be along the same lines here. I'll give this a four, four point five. Mainly minus one for the drinks of the mouse pad.

I am a big stickler on that. I do not allow it. I mean, literally my water bottle, so here's my mouse pad, my water bottles all the way to the side. I do, even water, I don't even want it. Um, I'm talking about lap. Yeah, exactly. There's a lot of stuff on a desk.

I don't like the monitors right now, but I think you're working with what you got. And I got to give something that you're putting your PC on top, a big PC on top, the desktop person, not a desk bottom person. So I'll give us a four. I'll give it a four. I'll give it a four. This is from a gab Ramirez on Facebook. I try to zoom in a little bit if I can. There you.

There you. I got a couple. Ooh. The aesthetics on point, though. Wow, a lot of funkel pops. Oh my gosh. I didn't even notice a funkel pops. Spool of cables in the corner.

Yeah, I did notice that too. I mean, a, if you have to put it down there, you put it in the corner, and then you may put like a little, little panel up there so it dodged it. I did that. What are you thinking? Wow, a lot of controllers. So, dang. Pretty big collector, uh.

Yeah, yeah. A lot of controllers. You got the printer. Also got your PC. I don't know what that is in the bottom, but if those are manga, it have problems for you. I think it is. I think it doesn't look like manga. Why is there stuff on top of the, why is the printer on the bottom?

I didn't think about that. A big Marvel guy. Yeah. I like Jason Borghys and Hanya Mask. like those. I'll give this an eight. Hmm. Yeah, I feel like, okay,

I was a big L desk person during COVID, but I like having mine in the corner, so I have like elbow room, but honestly, you can't do that with this set of because I just feel awkward when your desk is

here and you have the game like this. I feel very awkward because like my, I like nothing to support my wrist. So I feel very very awkward. I like to have my pretty much almost my forearm on the desk at all times. But I do love the aesthetics. Honestly, the collection on point. The controller wall, the Anya mask, the Jason Borghys mask, all the fungal pops, manga, like, super dope. I got to give it extra. I got to give this at least an 8.5. I think aesthetically it's great. You could put a little

perforation, like little panel here so they can hide it fully. Um, but yeah, I agree. Yeah, I like to have a little deepness in my desk. Like, I like a little bit, but like working with what you got and I'll set out. And I'll, uh, shaped desk looks great. So I got to give at least an eight eight point five. Uh, we'll get through a couple more of these, but first I want to go through some of the DMs that we got. Uh, sage.

I mean, we got to show sage because he's into chat right now. Oh, look at this. setup. Is this the, Sage, is this an IKEA Calbi desk and the Alex drawers? I think I had the same IKEA desk as you. Look at this setup. And he said something in chat. No PC yet, but it's a laptop setup. And no PC yet, but I mean, damn, I think it's good. What are you thinking? Wallpapers. Love the purple, like how, like how you have a lot of desk space. So in the Xbox? Yeah, it looks like Xbox in the PS4?

PS4 Pro. Yeah, IKEA, Alex drawers, desktop is custom made and slightly floating. Pretty sick. What's your rating on this? 7 out of 10. 11 out of 10. What? I said 7.

Oh, I said 11. I was like, huh? That's crazy. 7 out of 10. Oh, I got to give this at least. Got at least give this in like an 8.59. This is everything that I like. Lots of desk space.

It's clean. Cable management is good. No, no, no. He said 11 out of 10. It's done. I win. I mean, cable manager looks good. You're working with what you got with a laptop.

So I'm not going to dig you on that. I'm not going to, I mean, desk space, mouse space. Uh, for anyone that wants to upgrade their setup down the road, I'm a big, uh, fan of these Alex drawers, uh, from IKEA is a pretty good height. You get little, uh, little risers that I bought on Amazon. And then I, like, uh, this one, uh, saves that that is a custom-made desktop. I just bought the IKEA Calbee.

I think it's like, Kia Calbee. Yeah, it's a Calby countertop. This thing, very good. Very, very good. And I think it's worth it to make a great desk. But webcam, lighting setup. Wow, great lighting set up, honestly. Yeah, I got to give us at least a 8.59 saint.

I really got to do it. Don't get those drawers if you have a cat. They always stick to pause. Can your cat open? These are heavy. These are kind of heavy to open. Does Ruby open desks really easily, Olivia? That's kind of concerning.

All right. Let's get one or two more, and it will do some rapid fire in the end of the podcast. But we have a bunch of submissions. So, Mark, do you have one that you want me to show off or anything like that? No, no. Okay, I'll try to find one that I'm looking at. I do have a final submission, which is the funny one. Let me see if I have one.

I don't uh did anyone else send me any DMs I have not seen any from what I've seen yeah I got you sage I mean I mean this is a fantastic setup would you want to do mine I mean yeah if you guys want to send us the link or something like that it'll do it real quick we got one more first one to sends it to me either into Twitch DMs or the Twitter DMs at nzxty at nzxte or twitch or uh things we're his first one to whisper it to me or to dm it to me i will review it and we'll do a it will pull a winner of from mr nzxte chilla himself and we will uh do some rapid fire ended off

does anyone sent it because i am in the meantime mark get ready to choose a winner Choose the winner from one of our slides and including some of the people that we included. And then just figure out which one is your favorite. And I just DM it to me and then we'll announce the winner. Let's see. Anyone sent it to me? No? If not. Oh, okay, I got one. All righty. We got one from Cheez-It Junkie, 91. All right, this is the final one. Ooh, okay. I'm kind of cutting it out a little bit, but

that's okay okay it's not too much i'm cutting out that's him all right what do you think mark uh big dragon ball fan big dragon ball fan yeah let's see what is uh this little figurine up here by the way i'm very curious what this figurine is up here that darn twitter i thought the kidders sorry man yeah um yeah i mean that's a cardboard guy from stea series oh gotcha gotcha gotcha Nicely done. Uh, I mean, looking at this setup, Gigabyte,

I love to RGB on the things. Really great. Cables, I feel like you could get this kind of sorted out here. I feel like there could be a little bit more, you know, a couple zip ties around the cable things

just to hide it, just slightly. Um, I like the big, uh, desk mat. Uh, I do think,

I assume you push the keyboard out to the side. so you have a little bit of room here. I mean, it's blue and orange, but my camera's washed out. I changed my cables a lot so they aren't tidy. Oh, okay,

so you changed the cables. Okay, okay, I'll give you some leeway on that. Okay. What's your rating for this, Mr. Chula?

Five. This is a five? What? Yeah, give me the reasonings. I'm big on Dragon Ball, but I don't really like how small it is.

How compact. What? I feel like you gotta give at least. I mean, for me personally, I think working with what you got on this desk and everything like that, the aesthetics, the lighting. Hmm.

Yeah, he does, Chinchilla does have big standards. I got to give this at least a 6.5. Maybe a set. I'm not, I'm gonna be honest here. I don't like Dragon Ball that much because I would never got into it. I was a Naruto guy.

So I if I was into Daragabal, I probably get this even higher. But I get this a good seven. I think it works with what you got. Exactly. Your work with what you got. And I can't bag you on that because, like, for me, like, I'm lucky enough to have a whole office now. But back when I was living in my little studio apartment, oh, gosh, like, you got to work with what you got. So I'll give us a good seven.

Okay. So we will announce the winner for the Chinchilla thing. the chinchilla setups contest. Mark has given me the winner, so we'll get into that first. First, though, I do want to do a couple, just a couple rapid-fire questions. Mark, just answer as quick as you can, and then we'll go ahead and announce the winners, all right?

All right, so first of all, we'll just talk about gaming right now. So what games are you playing? Valerent. That's it. Where do you play? Valerint. Ballarin? Who's your main?

Jet. Jet? Oh, you're duels, man. Okay, I see you. What is the game you'd recommend to everyone right now? I don't know. I don't play that much games. I feel like you got some couple games now that you got this PC game set up.

Probably Marvel rivals. I mean, it's free. I was a huge. I stopped playing rivals by the hit Grandmaster. I actually hit Grandmaster. I was like, I'm done. I'm good. Show me your hours

Oh boy I think I'm like a 200 or something like that Oh but in the meantime What is your favorite game of all time though Roblox Really Okay what's your favorite mode and robots This is this game called PeaceWorm

Oh I know exactly what you talked about All done Any game that you would like to remake Into like a new version probably valerine you would want to remake baller it what do you mean I suck at it I'm hard stuck at iron oh I think that's just a skill issue man

do you need me to help carry you out I can help carry you out oh boy I'll read download vallarin I'll help you get out bro um is there something that you like to do in your spare time go outside touch grass ah don't know what that is it's touching grass What would be what would your last meal be? Uh, got to go Filipino Cinegang with a Jollybee and

Carre Carre Oh Jollybee is fire. I love that. Well, I'm, I'm all for that. Uh, do you have anything in store prefer the future for you. Probably a school. That's cool. Do you have an idea of what colleges you're applying to or anything like that?

Maybe put out a word for them. Probably by California. Okay. I see you. I see you. Would you rather have a giant chinchilla as a pet or a tiny dragon? Chinchilla. Heck yeah.

My man. Let's see. Okay. I get so this is for those that haven't seen this rooster teeth did this thing of like one million dollars but and I took a couple of these because some of these are really funny and I'm going to ask you more all right so there's three of them I have three one million dollars or what questions okay so I give you one million dollars right here right now but for one year one year if you see an unfinished drink you have to finish and drink it one One year and you get a million dollars, but you have to do it for one year. Yeah. And by the way, it could be, it could be like someone's left out orange juice that's been there for two days. You know, it's, it could literally be anything.

Probably got to die before you're like, get to, you know, again. So you're not going to take it? Nope. Honestly, I'm going to be honest, y'all. I would do it and I'd just lock myself away from. like you know for a whole year i just lock myself away not talk to anyone i do it for one year i could do it i think i could do it it would yeah you see you don't go out you don't go out food you don't go like out like seeing people you just stay inside for one year you have to be pretty

much alone unfinished as a drink from any glass or just an unfinished product i think someone has to have drank it and then left it there it does not mean that they have not finished it or they left it there, but they took a sip of it and they either had plans of finishing it or they just left it. Yeah, if you accidentally left out milk for a week, drinking it, you got to finish it. I'd find Mike and just leave glasses of milk and Yeager. All right. $1 million, but every time you see a purple car, you have to punch it.

the closest person next to you i'd do it you would do this one you guys wouldn't you wouldn't do why you're so okay okay hold on hold on why are so many people saying no for an unfinished drink but they'll punch someone closest to you you're taking it why is everyone just like yes why are you say yes for fun for fun purple car i okay vnor i got to be honest it's got to be at least a decent punch. Not like you don't have to super mind, but like you're, you're going to hurt them. Are you still taking it? Yep.

What the fuck? What? Those that are in this thing, this is not for a year, by the way. This is like for the rest of your time. This is not for a year. You can't do this. No way. Do I get a million up front or after years finish?

I'd compensate each punch for, like, Like, oh my gosh, Miko, what that? You, okay. Mark, if you get a million dollars, but every punch you do after the year, you get $100, would you keep going? Yeah. Oh my gosh, you're insane. I go up to a billion stackable. That's crazy.

You guys are, you guys are insane. You guys are insane. Okay. You guys are insane. It's called slug bug. Yeah, but the difference Venom with slug bug is you're just keeping him a light punch. You're not like, what band? Right?

Oh, gosh. So purple car, if you're near him with a purple car, just run away. All right. Final one, $1 million in one year. So 12 times. So once a month, you will be attacked by an animal for $1 million. And every month you'll be attacked by random animal. you will get a weapon corresponding to that animal's danger level.

Exactly. It could be anything. It's random. So you could be real, real lucky and get like a squirrel and you have like a boot. And you're like, oh, easy. Or you have an elephant and you have to have like an axe. It's not going to be easy. Yeah, exactly.

You get one gorilla, one tiger, one light, you're screwed. But you could take that chance. What do you think? Could I use the environment for? Yeah, no. Like you will be randomly throughout that month. So like, let's say like we'll say first of the month you will know you or no, I have to say it has to be random because I feel like if you plan too much, that's a little scary. So I'm going to say randomly in one month you will get attacked.

Doing it. You're doing it. You're not going to finish your drink, but oh, I could get a. attacked by gorilla or an elephant or a hippo and you go yeah i'll take it yep what the yeah i mean you could get a chachilla and just be like oh okay and the boom you know you just put it in the cage and you win you respond in like seven days to die i don't know how they spawned in seven days to die single mosquito with malaria i mean i mean we have malaria pills now so that's okay but yeah you're gonna take this yep yeah dude oh my gosh you're in

You're insane. Okay. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Okay. So, do you have anything that you want to announce to the audience before I go into announcements and announce some winners? Oh. Nope.
