[00:00:10] Dee: Yeah. So welcome to build a node with Jesse. We'll use that. Don't know, for Young's nice East Coast slang in the US for Young's that don't know. We're going to be building a node. Because decentralization is important.

[00:00:25] Corey Petty: Because we're building a bunch of nodes. Yeah, building a DApp node.

[00:00:29] Dee: Yeah. This specific one will be homegrown hardware selections from Jesse. And then he is going to load the DApp node OS onto his node. So Jesse, you should take it away with, like, start from the bottom up with this build, like. Yeah.

[00:00:49] Corey Petty: What are we do you guys do the commentary? I'm just going to be the hands. Yeah. Like, what do we have. What like what's what's our what's our product list. All right. What do we have I'm going to point at things. All right I'll point at things. All right. Go D what is this.

[00:00:59] Dee: That is an A520M dash it, slash a c. And that is a motherboard that is going to be going into that circuit case right next to it. That is an XP on assurance system.

[00:01:18] Corey Petty: And okay. Yeah.

[00:01:23] Corey Petty: To do this and I'm gonna I'm just gonna see where it goes. Yep. It's a mini form factor motherboard. So it's much smaller than your typical right.

[00:01:30] Dee: Yes. Typical motherboards range from 8.5in to 17.5in. Yes. I want to.

[00:01:41] Corey Petty: Go and just say this as a as a disclaimer. Don't believe anything D says with respect to 15 any anything. Actually

[00:01:50] Dee: 15% of it. That's all you can believe. No. Typical motherboards are like, yay, big.

[00:01:56] Corey Petty: We should probably put on the screen like a, like an image this motherboard typical form factor. So you have like ATX. Yeah I'm going to get a Firefox browser up here so I can maybe maybe you guys can add images. So that'll help with post. I'm gonna I'm gonna get a Firefox browser up here so we can. There you go. Join that. So all right so so we went over what this is we went over what this is that is a case. Let's keep going okay. So what other things.

[00:02:20] Dee: So what's this right next to. That's a box of licorice. Nope. Sorry. Okay. La sell. If I have to guess by the size of the box, that's like a video card.

[00:02:33] Dee: No I don't know what that is, actually.

[00:02:37] Corey Petty: Oh, you know what? It's actually a puppy puzzle. That's actually not part of the build.

[00:02:41] Speaker3: Okay? I was like, what the hell is that?

[00:02:44] Dee: That's not even a brand. Okay, so the box, the the next biggest box next to the case in the top there, that is an AMD CPU, right? And that means computer processing unit. That's what goes in the motherboard. Central processing unit.

[00:03:05] Dee: Central processing unit. That's my bad. And the screen got really small there. So hold on.

[00:03:12] Corey Petty: What model do we have here?

[00:03:16] Corey Petty: It's too small. Pick up and hold it for you. That is.

[00:03:20] Dee: A 5000 series processor.

[00:03:22] Corey Petty: Right? Let's see.

[00:03:25] Corey Petty: Ryzen five, 5600 G.

[00:03:28] Dee: So that's six core 12 thread processors.

[00:03:32] Corey Petty: So why did we pick this one D? Why did we pick this?

[00:03:36] Dee: We picked that one that has six cores. Just in case we wanted to run different nodes on the same node, different different networks on the same node.

[00:03:47] Corey Petty: So what are we building this whole thing for? To run a node.

[00:03:55] Corey Petty: Yeah. And so why do we need like what are what are the requirements, the minimum CPU requirements for running an Ethereum node.

[00:04:07] Corey Petty: Let us select that.

[00:04:13] Corey Petty: So in in a in a readme in a GitHub. I believe if you look up like Ethereum node requirements, you'll see that there requires a Passmark score of 6000.

[00:04:24] Dee: Give me a second. Let me bring up the Ethereum node requirements. A fast CPU with four cores. Let's cook now.com. They're telling us we need a fast CPU with four cores. That doesn't really. That's not really nitpicky, is it? Just you need it to be super fast.

[00:04:46] Corey Petty: Yeah. I'm curious. In the Nimbus docks, what does it tell you to run for minimum hardware specs.

[00:04:50] Corey Petty: I don't see the Nimbus Scott guy. Let's go to

[00:04:57] Corey Petty: All right. So CPU got the processor. All right. And then what's this thing here.

[00:05:04] Dee: We're looking at Ram. Oh wait that looks like a solid state drive I think actually.

[00:05:09] Dee: That it's really tiny on the screen. But that is a solid state drive I think an NVMe drive to be precise, which if you're not you know, technically sound there's like solid state drives and then NVMe drives are like super duper solid state drives. Right. So there's that and then Ram is over there. Random access memory they call it.

[00:05:35] Corey Petty: This one is not the Ram. This one right here.

[00:05:39] Corey Petty: No that's another NVMe drive another NVMe.

[00:05:42] Dee: Okay. So there's two NVMe drives right there. I think you you ended up going with two two two terabyte nvmes. Correct.

[00:05:51] Corey Petty: No no no this one is four terabytes. And then this one's eight.

[00:05:55] Dee: So why do you have 12TB in this thing. You need that much. Well yeah we're talking about Ethereum node here. So. So in total 12TB of NVMe memory. Why do we need that much memory. Because of course the Ethereum blockchain is growing at a pace that people can't keep up with.
