HIO Hardware Series | Let’s Build a Dappnode Together!
Jessie is showing Corey, Dee, and everyone watching how to build your own node. The computer is based on a parts list similar to a Dappnode and meets the minimum hardware performance requirements necessary to run an Ethereum node. Dappnode is sponsoring this episode and offering a discount code on all Dappnode Home Models. Discount code can be found in the show.
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.
Corey Petty
Because we're building a bunch of nodes. Yeah, building a DApp node.
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.
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.
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.
Corey Petty
And okay. Yeah.
Dee
Yeah I think I got.
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.
Dee
Yes. Typical motherboards range from 8.5in to 17.5in. Yes. I want to.
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
Dee
15% of it. That's all you can believe. No. Typical motherboards are like, yay, big.
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.
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.
Corey Petty
Okay.
Dee
No I don't know what that is, actually.
Corey Petty
Oh, you know what? It's actually a puppy puzzle. That's actually not part of the build.
Speaker3
Okay? I was like, what the hell is that?
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.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Dee
Central processing unit. That's my bad. And the screen got really small there. So hold on.
Corey Petty
What model do we have here?
Dee
I can't tell.
Corey Petty
It's too small. Pick up and hold it for you. That is.
Dee
A 5000 series processor.
Corey Petty
Right? Let's see.
Dee
It's a.
Corey Petty
Ryzen five, 5600 G.
Dee
So that's six core 12 thread processors.
Corey Petty
So why did we pick this one D? Why did we pick this?
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.
Corey Petty
So what are we building this whole thing for? To run a node.
Dee
Ethereum. Yeah.
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.
Dee
That say.
Corey Petty
Let us select that.
Dee
4.4ghz.
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.
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.
Corey Petty
Yeah. I'm curious. In the Nimbus docks, what does it tell you to run for minimum hardware specs.
Corey Petty
I don't see the Nimbus Scott guy. Let's go to
Corey Petty
All right. So CPU got the processor. All right. And then what's this thing here.
Dee
We're looking at Ram. Oh wait that looks like a solid state drive I think actually.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
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.
Corey Petty
This one is not the Ram. This one right here.
Dee
That's not Ram.
Corey Petty
No that's another NVMe drive another NVMe.
Dee
Okay. So there's two NVMe drives right there. I think you you ended up going with two two two terabyte nvmes. Correct.
Corey Petty
No no no this one is four terabytes. And then this one's eight.
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.
Corey Petty
What execution client are you? We don't actually need both because there's only one empty slot in this motherboard. So we're actually getting two because the the point, the point was originally that there was a tweet saying that my four terabyte NVMe drive is filling up. I'd like to upgrade beyond that. I think that was that was the guy from Hopper. Oh, yeah. Then and then so that's why we have the eight terabyte NVMe drive. So we're going to show you a process of cloning your node that's running on a four terabyte to the eight terabyte. And then this one is right here. This is what you know, that.
Dee
Looks like right there. Yep Ddr4 that's 232 sticks, which gives us a total of 64 gigs of Ram. Why did you use Ddr4 Jessie and not DDR one through three?
Corey Petty
So the the Ddr3 is old, it's much older. So Ddr4 is kind of the second newest. Yeah. So in terms of like clock speed that on the on the actual Ram, it gets faster with the later versions. There's also something called like CL like I don't remember what that stands for, but it also impacts the performance. Depending on what what CL version it is.
Dee
Let's do something cool for Joe, too. Let's like, let's put a cost on these things and then he can have the cost flash up on the screen as you lift it up. So what was the cost on the motherboard?
Corey Petty
Or am I, am I? I don't I don't have the list in front of me. Oh, yeah. Like $120. It's all right, I think. I think it's a little bit more than that. Plus shipping and tax.
Dee
$125.
Speaker3
We'll have the whole like.
Corey Petty
Build guide of like the parts we chose and pricing of all them in the description.
Speaker3
Gotta make it.
Dee
Flashy for the YouTube.
Corey Petty
So roughly, roughly all these parts, excluding the eight terabyte NVMe puts you at right under, I believe, $900. And in terms of the
Corey Petty
Good.
Corey Petty
In terms of the performance, you're actually meet the similar performance to the, I think, €2,200 DAPPnode that's available just for these parts here for under 900.
Dee
Not too shabby. So instead of paying €2,200, which is, I don't know, a little less than $2,200, how much is the euro now? 1.1.
Corey Petty
It's a little bit stronger than the dollar. So let's say 3.1 400 US.
Dee
Yes, 22,500 was all said and done right here. What you see in front of you is 900 greenbacks minus right.
Corey Petty
The 8.5 minus this one. Yeah. Was about $900.
Dee
Okay. So yeah. And then how much is that mouse right there?
Corey Petty
This mouse is maybe, like 90 bucks. Something like that.
Dee
That's a good mouse right there. Everybody likes a good Logitech.
Corey Petty
Why would you want to build up? So why would you want to build one yourself, Jesse, versus just going with a pre-built out node.
Corey Petty
So when you build it yourself, you know, upgrading becomes much easier to do because you kind of know what the upgrade path is because you know what the hardware you selected is. And so this was mostly to show that for, you know, if you're on a budget and you're trying to build your own DAPPnode you could have basically twice the storage and then you could also have twice the performance in terms of the processor itself for less than half the price. And so it's kind of to prove a point that, you know, if you if you are trying to be a little bit more resourceful and try to build your own DAPPnode, it's definitely possible.
Corey Petty
And why would someone want not want to do that?
Corey Petty
Maybe because they don't have the time or they don't have the technical know how. It's just it's also.
Corey Petty
Just it's just nice to just be able to. It's a convenience factor. Like, it's you're buying something that's known to work, known to be appropriate for specific applications. Because with Daptone you can run a bunch of different things. We're just running Ethereum clients, but you can run a whole slew of software on that node. And, and it's for some people it's easier just to say, like, I know this works, I'm buying this. It's it's straightforward done. But for those we're builders, we're like kind of tinkerers. And for those of us, those people like us, it's it's fun to kind of do it ourselves. And you end up getting a better performance for less money. But it takes a process and we're going to go through that entire process.
Speaker3
Yeah I however.
Corey Petty
Oh go ahead balance us out.
Dee
I'm that first person that they were talking about that's like give me something that comes out of the box.
Speaker3
And it.
Corey Petty
Doesn't work. You get to complain to somebody. Yeah.
Dee
And I go to customer service and I'm like hey.
Corey Petty
Here's.
Dee
What's going on here. You promised me it worked. They're like, oh, well, you're stupid. And I'm like, oh shit. That's usually how it goes with me.
Corey Petty
Can I can you make me un stupid?
Dee
You know, you press that button right there. You're not supposed to.
Speaker3
Open it.
Corey Petty
Up, Jesse. Let's go.
Dee
Let's let's start to build.
Corey Petty
I might need a knife at some point. And also, I'm not entirely sure if the power supply is compatible with the case. So we'll we'll go through and.
Corey Petty
We're learning.
Corey Petty
Together. Start with the motherboard first. Yeah. You built like.
Corey Petty
This. You got like a really it's small. We tried to make this as small a form factor as possible. So that's like you don't have this giant computer. Sitting somewhere in your house. It's. It's like a little box that looks pretty. So we'll see if it works, because the power supply that was chosen is not one that would normally be used for a computer. So like that part is going to be A bit touchy. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker3
Yep.
Dee
So this is a I'm gonna have a negrodamus offshoot moment right here. I wish I had, like, a thing I could put on, but there will be a point in time, because of the proliferation of this technology, where you will have a little device in your home, which will connect you to web three and connect you to blockchain.
Speaker3
Well, if you go.
Corey Petty
Listen to our show with JT. Jt yeah. From two blocks.
Corey Petty
Where he talks about this, he thinks that, you know if this technology proliferates and this becomes a significant part of the way in which you interact with the internet, then when you buy computers, it'll just come with this stuff as a part of it. It's like built into it. And the software, the operating system that you use in your computer, like Windows or Mac. And for those tinkerers with us, like me and Jesse, like Linux, it's built into the operating system, like as a part of the subroutines of the operating system. It's keeping track of specific blockchains because it needs them to do things right. Popping out the knife.
Dee
Yeah. Where'd you get that knife from?
Corey Petty
Are you sponsored? Are you sponsored by that knife?
Corey Petty
No, it's a nice knife, though. I enjoy it.
Corey Petty
Is it part of your everyday carry? Edc selection? I've been getting.
Corey Petty
That. Oh, wow. Is that a thing? Yeah.
Corey Petty
Edc is like a whole subgenre of YouTube where it's like everyday carry items and knives are a big part of that.
Dee
So this is the central processing unit right here. It's. I always love looking at these. They make my pants a little tight every time I open a new one. And then we.
Corey Petty
Have a cooler here which may not fit the actual case.
Dee
Definitely, definitely not going to fit in there.
Corey Petty
How are you going to cool it if you don't? Did you buy an extra cooler?
Corey Petty
That's a good see, I told you, there are things that may go with this build. Maybe we're going.
Corey Petty
To have the side open a little bit. We'll see how it goes. It might be a barebone system with this is.
Dee
This is a top open node build.
Corey Petty
I've done that a lot. Actually, I have I have a test bench. Machine over here. That's just like an open air bench. It's actually a it's made for mining. But I use it as a test bench for trying different components. So that's just normal to have open air things.
Dee
You just gotta make sure that the air is really moving so the dust doesn't collect. Yeah.
Corey Petty
Or just be in a not dusty place.
Speaker3
Life is dusty.
Corey Petty
We did this in Lubbock. So when me and D started in crypto back in 2013 12, I started in 2012. I finally convinced D to.
Speaker3
In 2013, you fully convinced me.
Dee
And in 2012.
Corey Petty
I had, I had I was broke, I was a broke college kid that was researching bitcoin and I was trying I wanted to build a miner because you could still do that back then for Bitcoin. Gpus are still profitable to mine things in Bitcoin or. We would do arbitrage, we would mine Litecoin, Doge, or the myriad of other kind of offshoots. And then trade through Cryptsy over to Bitcoin or whatever we were doing at the time. Either way, building up GPU miner was profitable but profitable back then. It was a way for me to learn how to to do stuff. So I built one. Well, I convinced a friend of mine who had money because I didn't to go in with me on building one. And I think we had I still have the I still have the graphics cards, actually, at least one of them. He's 20. 80 2090 R9 2080 something like that X. We got a bunch of those off eBay for a bunch of money, and then I built this miner of like 4 or 5 GPUs. If you search on imager, I think those like ridiculous setup. The person I went into. Cahoots with and building this minor was a was a sailor, meaning that basically, if there's a problem, he usually solved it by tying knots with rope. And I had to go out of town when all these pieces came, came to me. And I was out of town. I was like, well, I want to get it up and running.
Corey Petty
Can you put it together? Here's how you put it together. The one thing you want to be sure of is every single fan of the GPU, because we have these risers that stemmed from the the motherboard, which is what Jesse's kind of touching right now. The, the part that you would normally slot the GPU into has this basically ribbon cable that allows you to keep it from going directly into the motherboard, but further out. And these things were, I don't know, half a foot long or so. It's like the one thing you care about is that the air that's being pulled into these GPUs is not exhausted from a different GPU, because you want it to be cold. And he's like, okay, I got that. So I told him kind of the general idea of how to put these things together. Building a computer is relatively straightforward. You'll see this square holes go in square holes circle things. Go and circle things. Right. And he sends me this picture of him like. Jerry rigging all the GPUs with string hanging like from this mill. It was a like a it was like a windmill of GPUs, all pointed in different directions. Like, I think I got it fixed, figured out it. It was like the most ridiculous setup I had ever seen in my entire life. And then I built a like a harness for all this stuff, so it worked nicely.
Dee
It's pretty dope.
Dee
Guys missed is Jesse put the central processing unit into the motherboard, which is a very delicate process. Right. So for those of you who've never done anything like this before, and some of you might, this might be random, that your first attempt at putting a computer together is to build a node to run Ethereum. So when you put the central processing unit in, you have to match up the pins and it won't fit in unless you match it up. Right. Which is a good thing.
Corey Petty
There's a little arrow in the corner of one of these things, and you match that arrow with the arrow on the motherboard, and then you can pull that lever and it tightens it together.
Dee
So satisfying.
Dee
There it is.
Dee
That's that ram. Click right there.
Corey Petty
All die.
Dee
So Ram fits in and it's got a little click. When you push it all the way down it goes click, click. And that's when you know, it's kind of like putting in a power stone if you're Thanos are. There it is.
Jessie Broke
This is actually going really fast.
Dee
You are going really fast these days.
Corey Petty
Building computers really, really straightforward. It's troubleshooting is when a lot of the problems come into play. And so what you want to do is also when you, when you touch a new piece of computer hardware, you try to want to try and ground yourself, especially in the winter when it's dry. Because if you if you have static electricity built up on your body, you touch a component, you have the possibility of basically breaking the entire component through electric shocks. So what you want to do is you want to ground yourself by holding on to a piece of bare metal. Usually the case is a good thing to start with and then touching those components. Or you can use like an ESD bracelet or an ESD pad.
Corey Petty
Look at this guy.
Dee
Oh, he's got a special computer building screwdriver kit. This man's about his business. Oh, look at the bits he's searching for. What number bit is that?
Jessie Broke
It's a I don't know what the size is actually. Are there I see numbers in the positions, but I don't know.
Dee
Tiny Phillips. And this is to install the M2 NVMe drive, which you you typically have to unscrew a screw and then you've got to. And that that screw is what holds in the back of the drive. And then you slot in the front of the drive. It's oh so smooth. It goes like this. It goes. And then you set it down and then you screw it, screw down the back so it stays in there.
Corey Petty
Yeah. And a lot of these newer Motherboards come with a heatsink to make it kind of one heat look sexy for the drive. There's no moving parts for these types of SSD hard drives, and they get pretty hot. And they they're they're kind of operational. Temperatures are quite high as well. But the motherboards come with these heat sinks. And you'll notice when he pulls it off and looks at the bottom of this thing, there's probably going to be a little plastic flap on it. Don't forget to take that off. Because it's got like a thermal paste to it. Yep.
Corey Petty
That's you want to take.
Corey Petty
That off the plastic part and then make sure the thermal paste is on the various components of. So now you'll want to install the NVMe drive which is like you want to install it at an angle probably like a 30 degree angle or so.
Dee
There it is. That is.
Corey Petty
And then once it's, click in. You can push it down with the thermal paste on top. And then that holds it together while also dissipating heat of of the enemy drive, which will make it perform faster on heavy load and also make the lifetime of the of the image last longer.
Dee
Yep. So thermal paste is just it's kind of like those It's like those condoms that warm up, like while you're. It's. It makes you last longer under a load.
Corey Petty
I don't know if that's how it works.
Corey Petty
But the description is actually pretty good.
Dee
It makes you work. It makes you work more efficiently when it gets hotter. Right? And that's what you want. Because if it gets too hot, you don't want to, you know, you gotta keep going. So.
Corey Petty
You wanna make sure it doesn't get too hot?
Dee
Absolutely.
Corey Petty
Otherwise things will just blow up. Yep.
Dee
Nice clockwise spin there. Get it going clockwise, get that tightened down. So in all honesty, Jesse's almost built the whole damn thing.
Corey Petty
Oh yeah.
Corey Petty
Nowadays with modern computers, like, you're basically done, especially with oh, this is a Ryzen. Which means it probably doesn't have onboard graphics. I don't think that Ryzens have
Dee
Thermal paste is also on the bottom of the central processing units. Thermal cooling fan like. So that whole thing in Jesse's hand cools the CPU because the CPUs get hot because they're doing their thinking.
Corey Petty
So normally what you would want to do is buy a third party heatsink that sits on top of the CPU. Cpu is usually the hottest part of a computer. Arguably, the graphics these days are pretty hot too, but they come with their own heat sinks. And usually especially with cases of Intel, the. Included. Heatsink sucks a lot and if and so there's there's built in mechanisms for CPUs that'll throttle them if they get too hot. And so you'll lose performance because the heatsink isn't dissipating enough heat fast enough when it's, when it's working. But these AMD Ryzen ones are surprisingly good. The thermal paste that's on them is not surprisingly good. So. Ideally, what you'd want to do is. Get that off with some alcohol some rubbing alcohol. Clean it, and then get something like Arctic silver or something that the tech connections can buy. You can buy kind of good thermal paste. That makes that connection between the CPU and the heatsink really solid. So you have good kind of thermal connectivity from one to the other. But this is good enough, right? Like, these things aren't like Ethereum nodes aren't crazy hogs on CPU. So. The quality, like the quality of this processor is, should be more than enough than what we need. We're not going to have it under heavy load for long periods of time, like if you're doing significant like. Computing. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Dee
So are there blockchains that do have a heavy load on the CPU?
Corey Petty
Yeah, I.
Corey Petty
Think Algorand has a pretty heavy load, if I'm not mistaken. They and looking at things like Filecoin, that's a different type of thing. But the way in which it does its quote unquote consensus proof generation is quite computationally heavy. But I don't think you'll be. You're not going to be doing that on DApp node.
Dee
I'm not sure if that's fitting in that itty bitty case, but.
Dee
I think the bulk.
Dee
Of everything is complete. Are you going to do the eight terabyte in there too or it.
Corey Petty
Is.
Jessie Broke
Only one slot?
Corey Petty
Or you're not doing that eight terabyte.
Jessie Broke
Yeah.
Jessie Broke
So we're going to do is we're going to we're going to get it running on the four terabyte, and then we'll sync it up, and then we'll get to the point where we may or may not run out of space, and then we'll do a clone. No, we're not doing that today.
Jessie Broke
Nope. Nope.
Corey Petty
Or get started. Then come back through the magic of production. We'll say we're out of space. Now. Is the process of moving from to four terabyte to an eight terabyte. That might fit. I'm worried about the graphics, though. I don't know if we have graphics on this thing.
Corey Petty
We don't. That's why we chose the 5600 G. G.
Corey Petty
Oh, so it has. It has built in graphics.
Corey Petty
Yeah. Yep.
Corey Petty
Beautiful. That's why we chose it. Good to know.
Dee
So now it'd also be a great time to mention that this is actually sponsored by DAPPnode. If you don't know a DAPPnode is you can go to DAPPnode dot.
Dee
Hold up.
Dee
This is. I'm not good at this part.
Corey Petty
I'll do.
Corey Petty
This. I got I got Firefox up.
Dee
DAPPnode.com
Corey Petty
Easiest way to power web three.
Dee
Right.
Corey Petty
So. Individuals. Power web three. So the whole idea behind DAPPnode is definitely to to get people to run nodes at home. Instead of relying on institutional people or like things like Infura to provide the information you need from the blockchain, you just run the nodes yourself and then ask your own computer for those things, as opposed to relying on someone else to hopefully give you the right answer, or assume that their things are going to be up. And it adds to the decentralization of these networks, meaning that say, for instance, if a user goes down, the network of people running these things can provide that service to you don't have to rely on other people to do it. You can do it yourself.
Corey Petty
And DAPPnode is basically an operating system that allows you to easily choose. What nodes you want to run and configure them and maintain them and keep track of them. And this is just Ethereum. It's across the board. Ipfs, Waku and a bunch. All of the different pieces of software associated with the larger networks you can usually find in the repositories and get started and going. We're going to go through the process with a few of them once.
Dee
So could you.
Dee
Build a super dank CPU and then run? You probably could just run DApp node OS on it, and then you could have like.
Dee
A whole.
Dee
Bunch of whole bunch of nodes.
Corey Petty
That's what we're doing. I mean, this is the kind of toned down version of it because we're trying to go small form factor, but ostensibly you could build like a really nice computer and then put DApp node on it and then run a bunch of nodes via the operating system on that computer. So like they provide a couple of different options, right. The Ethereum validator, Bitcoin node Gnosis change storage, Reiki. Reiki is great. I actually love Reiki. We interviewed them. Go check them out.
Corey Petty
It's open source. It's got it all. Like these people are the people who run this company are just fantastic humans.
Corey Petty
Let's see here.
Dee
There needs to be a DAPPnode movement. Everyone in crypto should have a drop node.
Dee
So Jesse is.
Corey Petty
Our what is our. We have a we have some some if you don't want to process. Right. If you don't like building computers. And you'd like, you prefer to just have someone send you the right computer if you're a D, right. You can go to DAP dotcom and order something and we have an affiliate code for you. What is that? H I o.
Dee
H I o baby. What's that stand for?
Corey Petty
Hashing it.
Dee
Hashing it.
Dee
Out.
Dee
That's right.
Corey Petty
Adapt node slash I o page. Not found. That's not it. What is it?
Dee
It just says the.
Corey Petty
Disk I o slash h I o. I believe you should just double check that.
Corey Petty
Note page not found. Maybe it's like a.
Dee
It's just a.
Dee
Cart. So when you.
Dee
Check out the cart. Yeah.
Corey Petty
Use Hill at your discount code.
Corey Petty
We should think about these things before we talk about them.
Dee
No.
Dee
Keeps it organic, keeps it real.
Corey Petty
So buy it now.
Dee
Yeah. So you go to your cart.
Corey Petty
Look so home type of power cord USA. Okay. That's not available. Popper home. Is that available? Buy it now. Usa by now. That number. By now. I'm gonna put my thing back up in here. That number. Let me do that later. Continue to check out that number. Discount code h I o. Blow.
Corey Petty
No, it is not there.
Dee
Oh, it's not valid for the items in your cart. So maybe you were. Maybe it's only certain things. Anyways, it's going to give you a €75 reduction. It's going to give you a 75 euro reduction on that bad boy.
Corey Petty
Maybe it's just the nodes themselves.
Dee
Yeah, maybe it's just one of the DApp nodes.
Dee
Let's see. Figure it out.
Dee
We got obviously we got to get this part cranked out. Oh wait. These things are flying off the racks, baby. Why? Because people just want to dapp node. The other cool thing that we might get into in this video or might not, is that like, you can quote unquote, I don't want to say mine because it's definitely not the right nomenclature or not the right words.
Corey Petty
But here we go.
Corey Petty
Hashing it out. Boom. -$75.
Dee
Hey, check it out. So it's the home.
Corey Petty
By the DApp node. The home DApp nodes. When they're available, you can add Hyo as your discount code. Get some money off.
Corey Petty
So I heard. I hope this works.
Dee
Oh, I have a little just clicking screens and stuff. All right. Did it fit in there?
Corey Petty
Yeah. You might not be able to close it.
Jessie Broke
This is the part where I need to look at the motherboard manual, because these are the the power pins.
Dee
Yeah.
Corey Petty
So usually on the motherboard with the power pins you can it's labeled on the board itself. But the the diagram of the manual is usually way more clear. So.
Dee
So there's so for the audience that on a motherboard there's these power pins and they provide power to the things. You've got to make sure that they're plugged in. Right. And it's usually in the manual and like the first few pages or so and you'll find the power pin diagram and you basically just do exactly what it says on there.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Corey Petty
So it's when you it's what it's what it's for is the lights and buttons that are on the chassis that you build the case that you, that you have need to attach to the motherboard somehow. So like that's your power on your reset, your power light indicator, your hard drive status indicator. In the old days you'd had actually have speaker, but those aren't typically there anymore. So those need to be plugged in correctly into the motherboard.
Dee
Yeah.
Corey Petty
That so that you can turn it on and see that it's on and reset it and so on and so forth.
Dee
The little speaker that I was like, ma'am, whenever you started your computer.
Corey Petty
I like these wearing gloves. He's got low light, but it's gloves.
Corey Petty
I like that needs to come in.
Corey Petty
So that should go in before that should already go. Yeah. You put that in first.
Jessie Broke
But you know what? It's it's really cancer to put the motherboard in. Especially because the actual power supply, the 24 pin, it bumps up against the usb-C. So I'm just going to not put it in. Cool.
Corey Petty
Right now it's your computer. You can do.
Jessie Broke
Whatever you want. There are two little antennas that'll screw in later into the right here onto the I o panel.
Dee
They call this the Jess node.
Jessie Broke
Here it is on board headers and connectors. This is the worst part. I need a light.
Corey Petty
Yeah. Being able to see would be useful.
Jessie Broke
Yeah.
Corey Petty
He's got mood lighting though. It's so pretty. It's very blue.
Dee
I like it. It's a good vibe.
Corey Petty
It's.
Corey Petty
It's close. He's really.
Jessie Broke
Close. That's not helpful.
Corey Petty
Nope. That's not helpful at all. You need.
Corey Petty
It. Let me get your.
Corey Petty
Edc, your everyday carry. Get yourself a nice little flashlight.
Jessie Broke
I actually have a ring light above.
Jessie Broke
Right how we do it.
Jessie Broke
On the whole time.
Dee
Yeah, he's that light.
Corey Petty
All right, we need this.
Dee
So give me the light.
Jessie Broke
So much trash behind me. I'm just, like, throwing everything. All right.
Corey Petty
So much trash in front of me, am I right?
Jessie Broke
Oh my God. I think I'm out of, like out of all the things that you have to do when you're building a computer, putting the like, connecting the power light, the power LED button and the that's kind of the most annoying.
Corey Petty
Part of all of this.
Jessie Broke
Yeah, it's because, like, you need little tiny hands, especially for this form factor. Oh, man. Wish you were here to help.
Corey Petty
I have I actually have a PC building kit, and I have some little, little tweezers that work nicely for those types of things.
Jessie Broke
I have that too. I might actually go get them, like some forceps. So it's this. This right here, right? You cut your.
Corey Petty
Glove. Yeah, that's.
Corey Petty
That's one of the downsides of working with like, micro ATX, Mini-ITX, things like this. These, like, small form factor builds is normally when you're building a standard computer with, like, a regular IT standard ATX board you don't really worry about room as much. And like, even you still need small hands for those things. But the. The order in which you do things doesn't necessarily matter, because you have room to do to do all the things the like. But when you get into these things, especially if you're building one of these things that has a GPU part of it, you have to. More often than not, you have to back up a few steps because you need to do something. But what you've already done is in the way and and, and for cases like this where you need to put little tiny jumpers or cables onto pins in the right way, it's hard to see and it's hard to get your fingers in there. And doing both at the same time is really hard. So it becomes kind of a pain in the ass because you're trying to work in a very tight space.
Dee
My truth?
Jessie Broke
You know what? I might actually pull the motherboard out and then just do this on the foam. Because doing it in the case is a pain.
Corey Petty
Well, it's your life, man. We got time.
Corey Petty
Let's do that.
Corey Petty
You slotted, like, four hours for this. I think we're all right.
Corey Petty
Yeah. You're right. Yeah, we're going pretty fast.
Corey Petty
I've got some some music in the background.
Dee
T I wanted to play some music.
Corey Petty
Lo fi. We're gonna get. We gotta get off of YouTube because of this.
Dee
No, this is
Dee
This is what's it called? Free music.
Corey Petty
Copyright free. Free music. What's it called? It's the free stuff.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Dee
I wanted music to play during this moment of truth.
Corey Petty
We're trying lo fi action. Yeah.
Dee
Don't break the pins. You don't want to do that. What's funny is Joe's probably going to edit out all this music and stuff, but no.
Corey Petty
Joe's not to listen to this. This isn't going to be a highly produced one. This is going to be a raw. You're sitting here hanging out with us while we build a computer.
Dee
And we hope you're following along.
Dee
Right. I hope you we went out ahead of time, bought the stuff, building your own node, getting your crypto hands dirty.
Corey Petty
I don't, I don't know, like, I don't think this is for everyone. It's it's it's definitely possible. Like, there's enough YouTube content out there. We're making some of it and that'll that'll show you that you can do it yourself if you want to, but don't feel like obligated or not able to participate. If you don't want to do that, like buying a computer that's already built for this type of stuff is perfectly fine. Just know that you're paying a convenience fee.
Corey Petty
And there's a lot of things that are included in that convenience fees like like customer support. Whereas like if something goes wrong here we don't get to call anybody. We have to figure it out ourselves. And when you're buying something from an organization like like DAP note if you wanted to buy a DAP note, you know that it's going to work because. They put it together and they've sold a bunch of them and they all work. They built them such that they would work because they don't want to deal with customer support. And so you'd know that it's appropriate for what you're trying to do. Whereas when you're tinkering like this, you're making good guesses or you're you need to be knowledgeable enough to be able to understand what you're doing is good enough, what you're trying to do. And when it doesn't work, you need to be able to troubleshoot it and figure it out. Luckily, there's a infinite amount of YouTube content and internet content to help you do that, but it's going to take longer. You know, you're not giving the kind of guarantees and confidence that it's going to just work out. I think that's important for people because like, some people don't enjoy this.
Dee
Like being slapped inside out. Yeah, it.
Corey Petty
Goes in the inside. Yeah. Like that also makes sure that, like, that's the way the board goes in. It's not upside down.
Jessie Broke
All right, moment of truth. Let's try and stick this in again. Yeah. This is. I can feel it resisting.
Dee
It's toight. Yeah.
Corey Petty
Toight like a tiger.
Dee
And it's in there. Ladies and gentlemen.
Corey Petty
Like a.
Corey Petty
Glove.
Dee
We have insertion.
Corey Petty
This chair.
Corey Petty
Is not.
Corey Petty
Comfortable.
Dee
Yeah, I need a new chair too, because I'm tired of everybody seeing my like.
Corey Petty
I have this chair so that you don't see the back, but it's just not that comfortable.
Dee
There's a Shaq chair that's like, comfortable and you don't see the back. I'm going to get it. It's not expensive. It's like 350 bucks.
Corey Petty
That's expensive. It's nice.
Dee
For a computer chair?
Dee
Hell no. I don't.
Jessie Broke
Know, I feel.
Jessie Broke
Like a computer chair is like a bed, you know, like, especially if you work from home. It's definitely a good investment.
Corey Petty
Yeah, I'm gonna get one. I've had this hippie.
Dee
Like, sit Indian style chairs and move around chairs. You're like.
Dee
How do you sit.
Dee
Indian style on.
Corey Petty
The chair? I don't know, I get.
Corey Petty
Instagram a lot, so let's see if I can find what I'm talking about. Let's see.
Dee
I think I'm back on Instagram Indian style.
Corey Petty
This isn't going to come up correctly.
Corey Petty
Let me.
Dee
To send a send a picture with my birthday and a special code to Instagram.
Corey Petty
Like one of these things. Kind of want one of these things.
Dee
She's going to stuff those down in there. Sticky stuff. I'm noticing something, and maybe I missed this part, but. Power supply. What the hell is that?
Jessie Broke
Right here.
Dee
Sorry. Oh, okay.
Corey Petty
How.
Corey Petty
Dumb is this? But also, that.
Dee
Is the dumbest.
Dee
Shit.
Corey Petty
I kind of.
Dee
Want. I'm sorry. I'm looking at what Cory is looking at here. Jesse, I don't think you probably see it. If you look up. What the hell is this?
Corey Petty
It's. It says neck, back and lumbar. It's good for you. But, like, I don't know, there's another one. This isn't the one I was thinking of, but it's the same kind of concept where you can sit, like Indian style on the chair.
Dee
And why would you want to sit?
Corey Petty
Look at all those positions. Look at all.
Corey Petty
Those things you can do in your chair.
Corey Petty
What is this? Dude, I got a bad back, dude.
Dee
I remember you had that. Yeah, I got a pinched nerve.
Corey Petty
I just got.
Corey Petty
I just got out of my
Corey Petty
Like, chiropractor.
Corey Petty
No chiropractor. They're stupid and dumb. They don't exist. Physical therapy, you know, real medical professionals. For a pinched nerve.
Dee
Ouch.
Corey Petty
I really hope someone comes after me for that. For that comment to.
Dee
You gotta do some. You gotta do some back exercises.
Corey Petty
Do some, I do. It's called.
Corey Petty
Jujitsu. It's just that also like exacerbates neck problems because.
Jessie Broke
It also causes the problems.
Corey Petty
Cause the problems that it fixes the problems.
Dee
Yeah.
Dee
Do some do some Pilates, bro. Stretch it out.
Corey Petty
I stretch a lot.
Corey Petty
Got a lot of neck exercises where you, like, push on your chin and come up and rotate.
Dee
So Jesse is putting antenna on. And this is for the internet.
Corey Petty
For the Wi-Fi.
Dee
Yep, that is the one in the top is a two gigahertz and the one in the bottom that's 2.4 and five.
Corey Petty
That's not how that works at all.
Dee
15% of what I say is true.
Jessie Broke
All right.
Corey Petty
So yeah, it must be.
Dee
The hell is that? Is that just in case.
Corey Petty
It fits, dude?
Jessie Broke
Yeah. Let me see this. Yeah. It works. Sweet. Everything is coming together.
Dee
Are you sure that fits?
Dee
It looks like it's touching.
Corey Petty
Does it matter if it touches? As long as the fan goes touching.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. It's not touching. There's clearance. Like a few millimeters of clearance.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. We're good. Look at that. I don't know if I'm gonna finish.
Corey Petty
Did you buy black? Gloves for this.
Jessie Broke
I did. I love that about two, two boxes of them.
Corey Petty
Oh, just two gloves.
Jessie Broke
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Jessie Broke
Just bought two full boxes for this one. Yeah.
Jessie Broke
Yeah, I bought two boxes.
Dee
I don't think this is going to be the only thing.
Corey Petty
You're gonna be ripping out. Ripping through gloves this whole time. It's like, oh, shit, I can do bare gloves.
Jessie Broke
No. Yeah. If you would like to see.
Jessie Broke
It's for future videos. You know.
Dee
If you'd like to see Jesse build nodes with other computers, you can always donate to the channel. With those donations, we'll just build other CPUs so you can see how to run nodes on all kinds of builds.
Corey Petty
But if people just start donating money to us, we'll build a bunch of stuff and we'll give it away to the channel.
Dee
Absolutely. We'll build, we'll send it to you. You don't even have to make your own node. You could donate to us.
Jessie Broke
That would be interesting if you if you like, pay for the parts and then we can build it on stream for you. Yep.
Dee
You pay for the parts. We'll build a for you. We'll ship it to you. In the US. Only right now because we're not shipping out of the US.
Dee
That's not that. That's.
Corey Petty
Not a guarantee. We're we're a three man team who have full time jobs. So it's. This isn't one of those things where, like, we're taking orders.
Dee
It took me two months to ship.
Jessie Broke
Our razor will build.
Jessie Broke
It for you.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Corey Petty
We'll try. We'll get it done eventually. And you'll get a computer at some point in your life.
Dee
Yeah, I think it was Rusty Rabbit. I'm not. I'm not sure who it was, but I'm pretty sure.
Corey Petty
2 to 3. Rabbit. Yeah. Just to give him a lawn mower.
Corey Petty
Yeah, yeah, we had we had a sponsorship to a lawn mower a long time ago. Which was fun. We we've always enjoyed having sponsors and coming up with taglines. It's probably one of the funnest things we've done on the podcast, but we had like, what, ten of those things, how many that we have.
Dee
We have 14 of.
Corey Petty
Them.
Corey Petty
14 of them. And we're like, hey guys, you want some lawn mowers? Or like someone was like, yeah, sure, that'd be great. And then D took 13 years to finally send them to him.
Dee
And my defense, I moved three times since they said yes. So like I kept getting put in different boxes and different areas and then, you know, it's life. Jesse, this was a tighten in the inside of that power thing. So it's not wobble, wobble, wobble, baby like that.
Corey Petty
That's matter. No, there's no there's no tightening.
Corey Petty
It's not it's not the correct thing to use. We're like, kind of hoping it works properly.
Dee
You don't like.
Dee
Screw it into the case so that.
Jessie Broke
Power it make sure.
Corey Petty
Yeah, we should probably see if it works.
Jessie Broke
I get 3D print something to hold that in because there's some. There's a screw above and below it. So sorry.
Dee
I'm just being nitpicky. That looks a little. We should see.
Corey Petty
If it works.
Corey Petty
Like, does this power up and like.
Dee
Yeah, this is a pivotal part.
Dee
Audience. Where.
Jessie Broke
Is the power button on this thing? Oh, here it is in front.
Jessie Broke
Oh.
Corey Petty
Plug it in.
Corey Petty
Oh, hold on, I.
Dee
See a green light on that power supply.
Corey Petty
Yeah, but, like, I don't see that fan moving.
Jessie Broke
That fan's.
Jessie Broke
Not. Yeah, that fan's not moving.
Dee
Oh, okay. That wasn't plugged in all the way. No.
Corey Petty
Is the pins inserted? Oh.
Dee
Oh, we got it. We got it.
Corey Petty
Now. All right, well, that's.
Corey Petty
That's good.
Jessie Broke
All right. Let me see if it posts. Let me get let me get a monitor.
Corey Petty
How be. Well, the fan is still going, so you're you're you're in a good spot here.
Dee
We done made ourselves a DAPPnode.
Corey Petty
Not yet. We got to load the operating system. Install it. It's a flavor of Linux. So it's going to be if you ever installed Linux, it's going to be similar to that.
Dee
Linux actually comes in grape.
Corey Petty
Look at that.
Corey Petty
Little baby monitor. Look at that cute thing.
Dee
This man came prepared. Dude, he's got a little monitor.
Corey Petty
Why do you have a monitor?
Corey Petty
This little headrest monitor in your house?
Jessie Broke
I have a lot of parts.
Dee
That's for the.
Dee
Super secret sessions. That's. That one's for.
Corey Petty
He doesn't scroll. He doesn't, like, scroll on his phone in bed. He uses this little thing in his lap or the little keyboard. One day.
Dee
Jesse made a Game Boy.
Dee
Xl.
Dee
And that was the monitor he used.
Dee
For it.
Jessie Broke
Who owns the tiniest monitor in the world?
Dee
It's like.
Dee
It's not even like a tablet, like Slenders, just a tiny monitor, HDMI and everything.
Corey Petty
I wouldn't know what resolution that thing has.
Dee
No, it's actually.
Dee
Perfect for building.
Corey Petty
20 by 46. What was the what was the old resolution for like the old series?
Dee
Yeah, I think like for mining rigs and for shit like this, it's actually perfect. It's the perfect size terminal.
Corey Petty
I just think it's hilarious that he had this thing.
Dee
Just in his back pocket.
Corey Petty
Little baby TV.
Dee
Let me grab a monitor real quick. I don't I think he got it for this presentation. I don't think he.
Corey Petty
No, I think it's old.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. Oh, wait. Whoops. The power came out now.
Dee
Yeah, HDMI may have slipped.
Corey Petty
We've done this before.
Dee
Yep. And there it is.
Corey Petty
No, we're not there yet. We're not there yet.
Jessie Broke
All right. I think it's posting.
Corey Petty
Restart it.
Jessie Broke
Yeah.
Corey Petty
And then you'll see the splash screen of the motherboard typically.
Dee
It's usually a Ferrari. No changes.
Dee
It depends on what kind of.
Corey Petty
It depends on what.
Corey Petty
Brand you're using. Mine's a Ferrari.
Jessie Broke
Oh, why isn't it resetting?
Corey Petty
Hold it.
Jessie Broke
I mean, clearly I am holding it.
Dee
Okay, hold.
Corey Petty
I can't see in your low light. Black. Gloved situation here.
Corey Petty
Yeah. It's not turning off. That's That's a problem.
Dee
It's not a big problem. Just unplug that bitch.
Jessie Broke
Oh my God. Yeah. Why isn't it turning off?
Dee
That's the. That's the ultimate oh, shit solution to all things computer.
Jessie Broke
I mean, I really could just unplug it.
Dee
What's.
Dee
Just just unplug.
Jessie Broke
All right. We're going to unplug it.
Corey Petty
Wild, man.
Dee
And did you see that? That right there audience is why I'm not scared of the robot overlords. If we find that fucking plug, we're good to go, baby. That'll be the whole mission. What do.
Corey Petty
We get?
Corey Petty
Come on, baby. Post.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. It's always this is always like the part where you're like, please post. Is it.
Corey Petty
On? I can't you can't tell what's going on.
Jessie Broke
It's on HDMI just is no signal post.
Dee
Is a tinkerer language for show something on the monitor.
Corey Petty
No the Bios the Bios should post.
Corey Petty
Yeah well, post is different than the Bios, but.
Jessie Broke
Oh, okay. The post is a splash screen for the Bios. No.
Corey Petty
Power on self-test is. What?
Dee
Are you sure you're on the right into the power?
Jessie Broke
That's what the.
Jessie Broke
Splash.
Corey Petty
Post is. The first step in your hardware's boot sequence. The machine won't continue the sequence if the post fails.
Jessie Broke
All right, well, we're not posting anything. Not.
Corey Petty
We're not seeing anything.
Dee
No music.
Corey Petty
Let's see here. What can we do? Because you're getting power. Check the back. Is it plugged? Maybe it's.
Dee
A bad HDMI.
Dee
Cable.
Jessie Broke
No, no, I think it's I think I just tested it. Let me. I'll go test it again. I don't think it's I think that's a problem. But just to check.
Corey Petty
If you're having heat issues with. The CPU, it would just power off. I bet it's the power supply. Yeah, I my my my guess is the power supply because it's not standard. It's, it's doing a partial portion of it, but it's not hitting the right checks. And so it won't continue the post. I guess it's failing the post because it's not happy with what the power supply is.
Dee
Not getting enough juice or not understanding the juice that it's.
Corey Petty
It's like an understanding of the situation.
Dee
That beer?
Corey Petty
Yes. I am currently drinking a beer. And it is absurdly good. Although this is like it's really good.
Corey Petty
It's a.
Corey Petty
It's a. It's been made out of Charlotte. Awesome brewery. I think I've liked everything from Sycamore, but it's a short time brew, so.
Dee
Let them know what we do. Let's get a sponsorship. Yeah.
Corey Petty
Jesse, I don't know if you heard me while you were away. This may be a power supply issue. It's not that it's not getting enough power. It's that it's not getting the right signals associated with the power. So it's failing post. That would be my. That would be my guess.
Jessie Broke
I'll let you in on.
Jessie Broke
Oops. Check.
Dee
Is that raspberry pie? Yeah.
Corey Petty
Yeah. So you're already getting you're already getting signal there.
Jessie Broke
Yep yep yep. All right. So the HDMI cable is fine.
Corey Petty
So my guess would be that power supply that you tried to kind of finagle in there.
Dee
Do you have a better power supply?
Jessie Broke
So, no, no, I do not. Let me think. Yeah, actually I do. Hold on, I do. I have plenty of power supplies.
Dee
Power supply?
Corey Petty
You have plenty of these?
Jessie Broke
Yeah. Of course.
Corey Petty
Can we go to my rack of power supplies? Get. Get the right one out.
Jessie Broke
All right, so here's what we're going to do. We're going to use an actual power supply instead of this kind of like whatever the heck this was. What is this for?
Corey Petty
What what what was that power supply actually, like, built for.
Jessie Broke
For LEDs. Like a string of. Yeah.
Corey Petty
That's not going to cut it, because if you look at the.
Jessie Broke
No it's fine. The the voltage in the amperage is fine. Yeah.
Corey Petty
But if you look at the plugs, right, the signals that go into the, the you know what.
Jessie Broke
I mean is the, the 24 pin adapter is for a power supply or is for a motherboard. It's the power supply, this one that is actually for a string of LED lights. But the wattage. Right. So the voltage and amperage are correct for for powering a PC. It's like 1212 amps, five volts or. But just in case, what we will do now is we will try an actual power supply. Let me go grab one.
Dee
So power supply is a very important part of the build. For those of you watching and listening probably watching this would be a terrible listen. If you're just listening to us watch him build a computer, than you are a special breed. But for those of you watching Yeah. The power supplies are very important. You gotta make sure you get the right one.
Corey Petty
Well, it's got to be appropriate.
Jessie Broke
All right, here's a 700 watt power supply.
Corey Petty
That's going to be more than enough.
Corey Petty
Yep. All right. So I'm going to.
Jessie Broke
Unscrew the motherboard.
Corey Petty
Office chair for sitting Indian style. That's not. That's not what that is. Just.
Dee
Just sit Indian style while they work.
Corey Petty
I like to move around. What's the sit like a, like a like a NPC all day when they work.
Dee
I mean, that's what the chairs are for.
Corey Petty
I'll subscribe to your Western nonsense.
Dee
I don't think.
Dee
I've ever seen anyone sitting Indian style while they worked on me.
Corey Petty
I'm literally sitting Indian style right now.
Speaker3
Really? Yeah. Wowzers.
Dee
I don't think. I don't even know if I could sit criss cross applesauce.
Corey Petty
Sounds like you have some flexibility issues. You should work on that.
Dee
I can, I just gotta lean back a little bit to make room for my, you know.
Corey Petty
Legs.
Dee
Yes.
Dee
Belly.
Dee
That too.
Corey Petty
Schlong.
Dee
That as well. We weren't going to say that part, but you said it.
Corey Petty
Say the quiet parts out loud.
Corey Petty
This time of the day, we're.
Corey Petty
The sun hits me right in the face. So give me a second.
Dee
He's busting out of his gloves. He's working so hard. The HDMI cable still connected there. Hope you got it. You see it? You know what you're doing. So what Jesse's doing now is dismantling that bad boy. Because now we have to use an actual power supply and not a.
Dee
You're not a Jimmy Brigg power supply. That is a 700 watt power supply. You want to make sure you got enough juice?
Dee
Right.
Dee
It's important because if you don't have enough power, then things won't work right and the computer even will just be like, yeah, I'm not doing this. You want me to work with no juice? No, it's not going to happen. Right. So right now we're remedying the issue.
Jessie Broke
The the power strip that has all of the cables. It just looks like a mess.
Dee
I imagine. So you're talking about the thing right above, you know, on top of the.
Jessie Broke
Screen, there's a power.
Jessie Broke
Strip on my at my, at my left foot, and it's just plugged in with a whole bunch of stuff right now. All right. Cool. So that's good.
Dee
I shit you not my pops computer. Actually caught on fire. I happened to be home. It was crazy. I smelled like an electrical burn. And then my sister was like, and I happened to be visiting. It was great timing because my dad was out of town on business and I was in town visiting, and I was like, man, I smell like something electrical is burning. And my sister is like, yeah. And then I looked in his office and there was just smoke billowing, billowing, billowing, billowing.
Dee
From his, billowing from his.
Jessie Broke
I just realized, Corey, I didn't plug in power into the actual board. There's a four pin connector here. This is oh, you didn't plug.
Corey Petty
That in that will that will definitely not exactly.
Jessie Broke
Oh my God, can you imagine?
Jessie Broke
All right. Hold on. Yeah.
Corey Petty
For the motherboard, there's usually especially for modern CPUs, there's two plugs. You have the what is that, 28 pin, 24 pin and then an eight or a 4 or 8 pin, depending on the size of the motherboard.
Dee
Boom boom. Badoom boom.
Jessie Broke
We're gonna we're gonna try it out of the case, and I'm just going to plug it to the. Yeah, yeah.
Corey Petty
We're so in the future for those who you were building the the standard process here and I think we just got lost in the sauce here would be to plug the main component manual that is CPU and the cooler your GPU, your Ram and your hard drive. Put that all on the motherboard, usually like on top of the motherboard box, and then plug it in and see if it turns on and posts. You want to see this? Okay, it works cool. Then complete your build so that you have the complete thing. You want to make sure that, like the pieces that you have work as intended, you know, dead parts they're all compatible with each other if you're building your own stuff yourself. And they're not known to be correct. And then when you know it works, it posts, then you can kind of put it all together in a pretty way and then continue on. So we didn't do any of that. And you're seeing what happens. You don't do that. Yep.
Dee
Live.
Corey Petty
Live.
Corey Petty
Also not live.
Dee
You know, it'd be cool.
Dee
Is if you did this enough to where you, like, put that monitor into the table and you just had to, like, plug it in, you know what I'm saying? Like the monitor.
Dee
You see plexiglass.
Dee
On top of.
Dee
It? No.
Jessie Broke
Not yet. One second. I'm going to plug the HDMI cable.
Corey Petty
Rude. You need to get one of those. I have one of those, like vivo things that you can plug in the USB and then plug the HDMI in that it passes through so that you can record video.
Jessie Broke
I have that. Yeah, I have that.
Corey Petty
The future we're going to do that so we can actually see the the posting going on. Was it? It's not on. So.
Jessie Broke
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Jessie Broke
Oh. Come on. An HDMI splitter. Come on. And then I have a capture card on one of the PCs, so definitely watch it post.
Corey Petty
Deleted.
Dee
The blue light wasn't on the first time.
Jessie Broke
No, that's the one.
Corey Petty
Doing.
Jessie Broke
It. Yeah.
Corey Petty
Repost.
Dee
It wants to post.
Dee
Nothing. Still not.
Dee
Liking something.
Corey Petty
It should be doing something right now.
Dee
Why not be able to see it from this angle?
Corey Petty
We can't see shit from this angle, that's for sure.
Jessie Broke
There's no signal.
Corey Petty
Okay, well, yeah, it's not gonna work. Yeah. It'll it'll it'll it will happen by now. So.
Dee
Still having power supply issues.
Jessie Broke
All right, well, we don't know. That's a power supply issue. We're just assuming the power supply issue. And I still can't turn. Oh, oh. It worked to turn it off. Nice.
Corey Petty
Got that going for us.
Jessie Broke
That's good. All right, let's pull this out and try an actual standard power supply.
Jessie Broke
Oh. Oh, God damn it!
Corey Petty
Turn the air conditioning on. It's actually chilly in here. And turn that back off.
Dee
Okay. It's chilly.
Corey Petty
It's too cold.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. Okay. All right. So that over there for now and we'll put in 24 pin here. And to eight pins here.
Dee
Damn.
Dee
Are you a Intel guy or an AMD guy? Corey.
Corey Petty
Depends. Depends. If I were to get server architecture, I'd probably go with AMD. Their new epic cores are pretty outstanding. I'm not necessarily a fan of the efficiency cores that Intel brings on in terms of server architecture, but I guess they don't have those for the server server ones. But most of like the home builds I have are like consumer grade hardware built for servers. So like most of my nodes are run off of old ryzens.
Corey Petty
But my PC that I use for everyday stuff is a is an Intel. I do prefer Nvidia graphics though, which played more nicely with Intel.
Jessie Broke
All right, come on boot.
Corey Petty
Come on baby. We see, we see the little. We see the little white box. The little white box changes, then we're good to go. I guess it's not a power supply issue because it's not changing.
Dee
Is that a smart.
Dee
Screen.
Corey Petty
That's.
Jessie Broke
Posted?
Corey Petty
So, yeah, it is a power supply issue.
Jessie Broke
I'll let you guys celebrate the post. Hold on. Let me let me turn it off. Yeah. And then.
Corey Petty
So clearly it's a power supply issue.
Dee
So we're back where we were about 10 or 15 minutes ago. Make sure you have the right power supply for the node that you're trying to set up. 700w is. Oh.
Jessie Broke
All right. There you go. No, no. You got a no signal.
Corey Petty
You got a capture card so we can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jessie Broke
So this is.
Corey Petty
Now we're basically we're watching the. He's watching. We're watching the computer boot up.
Dee
Yep. Okay.
Jessie Broke
Wait for it.
Dee
Need some tunes.
Dee
For this rock.
Jessie Broke
Probably need to plug in the wireless keyboard to go through the prompts.
Dee
This. Free music. Free music.
Corey Petty
Free music stuff. Guys, I'm getting fat. I don't like it.
Corey Petty
I don't like this jiggle.
Dee
Welcome to middle aged.
Corey Petty
Well, that didn't do anything.
Jessie Broke
Wait one second. Yeah. Why isn't it Maybe you don't get to enjoy the joy of the post screen.
Corey Petty
Once again, if you don't feel like going through this process, you can just go to Tap dotcom or tap no. I o and buy your own and use h I o in the discount code for some money off. I don't know how much it actually is.
Jessie Broke
Oh, you know what? I 75.
Dee
Bucks.
Corey Petty
75 bucks off your five bucks. I think it only works with the the home nodes. There's two versions because we tried it with the. We tried it with the hopper node. Was not appropriate for that node. The Luxor node is not available yet. So if you buy one of the home nodes and use h, I o stands for hashing it out. If you didn't realize that, it'll give you 75 bucks off. Yeah. And they'd have to go through this process. For me. This is fun. Like, I enjoy this, right? So I buy a bunch of pieces. I try and get them to work. There it is. It posted.
Dee
Hey, we're looking at what we just.
Corey Petty
It's green. Whatever it posted. I enjoy this kind of, like, troubleshooting process of one putting the pieces together, two putting software on them, making sure it works.
Corey Petty
Etc..
Corey Petty
80.
Dee
I think that was basically saying, hey, you got a new hard drive in here. We're going to make it fresh for this computer.
Jessie Broke
No, it's a new processor and has to do with the BitLocker, which is I think that uses the TPM on the processor. Right?
Dee
Correct. As rock.
Corey Petty
As rock. Asus. No. Asrock.
Dee
Filling is the same as as.
Corey Petty
Right.
Jessie Broke
All right. Now we need to throw in a USB drive with. Yeah. This is this.
Corey Petty
Is means that we don't have an operating system to boot to. We've done everything we need to do to start this computer, except there isn't something to boot into, so we need to install some type of operating system. So how are we going to do that, Jesse? How are we going to get DAPPnode to install on here. You're going to use USB.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. So we're going to, we're going to get a.
Corey Petty
Do you have that done already. Or we can do that.
Jessie Broke
I do not have that done already. Let's see how do I want to do this. You know what? I actually do have it done already. I have it in my my bag. All right. Yeah.
Corey Petty
So we have a DAPPnode, USB image already created. So what he's going to do is going to plug that into the little computer he built. So far, that's not beautiful form factor yet because we tested it. And then we're going to go through the installation process. One hour. It's taking us one hour with some fun trials and tribulations. I'm still not even halfway through my beer, so.
Dee
I think it.
Dee
Would have taken around 45 minutes if we had.
Corey Petty
I mean, if it was like you.
Corey Petty
Knew that it worked. You kind of knew how to build a PC. You could be installing this thing in 45 minutes really easily. Really, really, really easily.
Dee
I mean, ironically, it probably take about the same amount of time. If you take it out of the box, set it up, get it installed, get it running.
Corey Petty
Yeah, no, you take out of the box and push on. It's basically done like it's there's no there's no like putting the pieces together process.
Corey Petty
Which in reality on these forms, small form factors is what, 30 minutes? If you if you kind of know what you're doing, watch a YouTube video, then you can get it done in 30 minutes.
Corey Petty
Now I put Jesse. You did. You did a.
Corey Petty
Restart it and then go to the Bios and.
Corey Petty
Set it.
Corey Petty
As you need to boot through. Okay. I can't tell.
Corey Petty
I think I.
Corey Petty
Went to bed at like 5:00 last night playing poker.
Corey Petty
I got up.
Dee
Staying up that.
Jessie Broke
Late oh five.
Corey Petty
Yeah, I stay up till five. Yeah. And I got second place twice, so I paid. I mean, I ended up paying that much for the games we played. But I woke up at 808 because.
Jessie Broke
You won the last game, right? Because I just I sent you 20.
Corey Petty
A second place. You sent me 20 just to pass on.
Jessie Broke
I pass on, I don't I assume you're going to win that game.
Corey Petty
I did not I got second place, I got you. Joe won that one. And then I lost the last one to Lance. And the heads up game. They're really good. But I stayed up way late, and I woke up at eight because I have a child, and I'm very tired.
Dee
So. Yeah. What's going on? What's the thing.
Dee
About when you have kids, you if you go to bed, it's just.
Corey Petty
A it's just.
Dee
A yeah.
Corey Petty
It's like you don't you don't get to make up for it. You're just going to pay for it.
Dee
Yeah.
Dee
There's no sleep in unless you have family in town. My youngsters.
Corey Petty
I have family in town.
Corey Petty
Doesn't matter.
Dee
No, no. Like same age kid family in town. Quincy doesn't matter.
Corey Petty
I think my body just won't. Won't sleep late.
Dee
Me, son. I get a little Zzzquel. In me out.
Corey Petty
What's going on? Jesse, what are we doing?
Dee
We are currently looking for.
Jessie Broke
Right now I am. You can't see. Oh that's frozen. Oh, interesting.
Jessie Broke
It's a pretty frozen image.
Jessie Broke
Yeah. All right, hold on. So right now, I was getting the boot media for the reason that Apparently the flash drive with like, basically all the images is not working. So I'm just creating a fresh USB drive with dev node on it.
Corey Petty
We just see no signal at this point. What's up? We just see no signal at this point.
Jessie Broke
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know.
Corey Petty
Well, let's let's move it over to like this. So we're not just fucking staring at a blank screen. So what's up man? How's your weekend?
Dee
Yeah, so far, so good. Went to the venue, looked at the wedding venue. Looked at one. It was ridiculous. I don't like it.
Corey Petty
Welcome to getting married.
Dee
I don't like it at all. I feel like for the paying that much, you might as well not.
Corey Petty
I mean we our our marriage was we did two kind of.
Dee
Yeah. The one in your backyard.
Corey Petty
We had a secret marriage. Which was just us and witnesses so that we could get our Brazilian visas. And then we had like the wedding party, but it was just because we had the secret one first. The the wedding was just a party. And it was great. And then we we didn't have to go through the as as much of the. Oh, this is for a wedding. That'll be twice as much. Because I added a ribbon. Process it. The Jesse's screen kind of like looks like a a matrix background.
Dee
It has. I don't know.
Corey Petty
It's just like it looks like a. The blue and all the things together. It's it's. Looks like it's.
Dee
I feel like Jesse.
Dee
Does get plugged into the matrix when he's working. I feel like he's like. Locked in the internet is flowing into his brain.
Corey Petty
It looks staged.
Dee
Why soever would it look staged?
Dee
No.
Dee
You can add music into these stream yards. Now, you gotta be careful, though, because I might have a little Doctor Dre in here and get us in trouble. Yeah, but, yeah. Weekend's good. The venue is okay. I'm going to say no to this one. We have a couple more to visit kind of venue.
Corey Petty
Are you looking for.
Dee
Something that gives a nice vibe, people?
Dee
Oh, yeah. Cool.
Dee
Yeah, like I'm looking.
Corey Petty
For a good one.
Corey Petty
Looking for a good venue.
Corey Petty
Yeah, like a cottage. A bad one.
Dee
Kind of thing, you know? So, like, people can.
Corey Petty
I really like my wedding to be good and not bad. So we're going to look for a good venue and not a bad one.
Dee
That's just for the amount of money they charge people. It's like we might as well have a destination wedding like cheese man.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Corey Petty
But then you have to, like, make people go places.
Dee
Yeah. And that's the thing that kind of sucks is getting people to do that, especially if they have just. Yeah, but if people have, like, kids, I'm not going to make them pay $3,000 to come to my wedding. Like, that's just.
Jessie Broke
Remote in Google Meet, Google Meet Zoom VR headset.
Corey Petty
We're not we're not the younger generation, man. We're not going to do that. We're not have we're not having World of Warcraft weddings, bro.
Dee
Yeah. And that's not not going to happen. So you know, just a nice little cottagey spot, you know, some around the there's a couple places around the corner from the house that like, I live kind of near the country. So there's a couple of places that offer some good stuff. We're just trying not to get raked over the coals with pricing. They're like, oh, do you want the black napkins or the white napkins for an upgrade? I'm like, what? Wouldn't the black napkins be an upgrade? Because like, nope. Like, do you want frills or no frills? You're just charging me for everything, I guess.
Corey Petty
She looks at Joe and she says it. Yeah.
Dee
Yeah, yeah.
Dee
And then she's like, do you want the DJ package? And I'm like, the DJ package. What does that come with? She's like, oh, well, it comes with microphones. And I was like, the DJ doesn't have a microphone. And she's like, well, no, you got to pay for the microphone. And then the DJ has a microphone. If not, he's just he's just a guy over there playing Spotify. And I'm like, that's fine.
Jessie Broke
God, Jesse's groomsmen can do that.
Corey Petty
So we had a.
Corey Petty
Buddy do ours. We made the playlist and our buddy did it I think.
Dee
Yeah, yeah I remember that. Yeah.
Dee
I added stuff to the playlist. It worked out good I mean.
Jessie Broke
That one song. Was it kiss from above.
Dee
Kiss from a Rose.
Jessie Broke
Kiss from a Rose. Yeah. That one.
Corey Petty
Kiss by a rose.
Dee
It's a good song, baby. That's a good song. I was with.
Jessie Broke
I was watching a YouTube short where he was like. I don't even think that should work. But it did. And it was describing how the. Yeah, he was describing how the folky sound of the guitar with the lyrics and how it's kind of like a hip hop vibe. And it, I like that you.
Corey Petty
Just figured out that it was from a Batman soundtrack.
Jessie Broke
I didn't know that. Did you know that?
Dee
I did, yeah, of course we we.
Corey Petty
Watched the movie.
Corey Petty
I mean, I, I was a part that that was a part of the movie coming.
Corey Petty
Out was like, oh, seals on this soundtrack.
Jessie Broke
That's crazy. Yeah. I need to watch that movie again. Batman Forever and.
Dee
U2 was on that soundtrack.
Corey Petty
Watching like bulwark was a good movie because of ODB and Mya playing.
Dee
Oh, wow. Geez, I forgot all about that. Ghetto superstar was on that soundtrack. That song was crazy popular. You heard, at least on the radio was popular. You'd hear at least 3 or 4 times a day.
Corey Petty
Bulworth.
Corey Petty
It was like a political movie.
Dee
Yeah. As the guy who's trying to appeal to the black community.
Corey Petty
What's going on here, Jesse? What are we watching other than this? This stage?
Dee
Yeah. We need some.
Jessie Broke
Play by media right now. So I'm downloading etcher on one of the PCs, and then I'm downloading the attended version of DAPPnode. So if you go to GitHub, oh, if you go to DAPPnodes website, then you go to software at the top, then you go to.
Corey Petty
Watch that. Are you?
Jessie Broke
Yeah. Here. Hold on. I can
Corey Petty
I got it here.
Jessie Broke
Yeah, yeah, you do it.
Corey Petty
DAPPnode.io Beautiful software.
Corey Petty
And then if you click on here we go.
Corey Petty
Here's here's the minimums here we got core i5 i7. Mm'hmm recommendations. 32 gigs of Ram. We have 64. No big deal. Four terabytes, which will start with and eventually turn into eight. As per our comments earlier ISO installation yep flatow and then.
Jessie Broke
Adapt note ISO the first link.
Corey Petty
So dap note ISO here. Yep click. And then the GitHub.
Jessie Broke
Yep. Scroll down. Unattended version. Yep. So I'm not doing the unattended because I want us to go through the screen menu. Okay. But yeah so the second from the top. No no no no you're right up up. So second link from the top. Yep. So I download that ISO.
Corey Petty
So downloading the ISO. Not going to do that. Yeah.
Jessie Broke
Why don't you just do it. Just go through it and then stick a flash drive so you can just show the process.
Corey Petty
Stare at my download. I don't have that good of what What? My web isn't that good.
Jessie Broke
Then download etcher.
Jessie Broke
Then I'm just using etcher on a USB drive to.
Corey Petty
I'm not going to share my screen. It's way too much going on here. Okay.
Jessie Broke
I don't know if like, we're trying to process.
Corey Petty
Maybe a different time.
Jessie Broke
It's almost done. It's at 93% flashing.
Corey Petty
Balena. Etcher. Yep. For windows.
Jessie Broke
It's for both you guys. I think there's etcher for ubuntu.
Corey Petty
But yeah, I'm doing it on the Windows machine, Windows installer, Mac OS, Linux. We have Linux, the app image. Oh nice. So you can use etcher for everything. Etcher is a really good, good piece of software for basically taking an ISO, which is an image of a CD, or it's an ISO is a basically an image of a CD. And then putting that on a USB stick and making it bootable so that when you turn your computer on, it sees it as a bootable piece of media, and then it uses that as opposed to looking at your hard drive for how do I boot this computer up, where's the operating system? So on and so forth. It uses the CD as basically like, how do I put this computer up? And then that takes you through the installation process, which Jesse will show us when this is done. You can build it from source. The attended ICO installation, and
Jessie Broke
I'm gonna I'm gonna. Do you prefer I screen share going through the DAPPnode install process? Or do you mind if I just do it on the monitor here? Okay.
Corey Petty
Okay? Sure.
Jessie Broke
Let me. Let me switch.
Corey Petty
We're gonna watch something. You want to watch our faces?
Jessie Broke
All right, all right.
Jessie Broke
Let's do this then.
Jessie Broke
And then this. Go to.
Jessie Broke
You. Power it off. And power back on.
Corey Petty
You might need to change the the bios so that it knows, to boot to the USB. As opposed to the hard drive. So like when it when it looks, it usually looks to the hard drives first for boot order.
Jessie Broke
No, it should go through everything by default. It goes through everything. Yeah.
Corey Petty
Depends on motherboard.
Dee
Oh, look.
Jessie Broke
They're motherboards that won't go through all the bootable media.
Corey Petty
I've had that in the past.
Corey Petty
Oh, interesting. That sucks. Why is it green? Those. I don't know.
Dee
I've no like screen.
Corey Petty
No it's not. No. This is a.
Jessie Broke
This is DAPPnode.
Corey Petty
Yeah. But it's it's it's a it's a terminal based interface. Just that. Your Asroc came out green. So this is not DAP? No, this is just your terminal.
Dee
What's the difference.
Dee
Between American English and English? English. Do you see that? Yeah.
Corey Petty
They spell flavor wrong.
Speaker3
Oh. The spelling they used.
Corey Petty
S's instead of Z's.
Corey Petty
Or zeds.
Speaker3
Like this.
Dee
They spell things wrong. We spell things right. Oh, yeah, 100%.
Corey Petty
I mean, we spell it the right way like an American.
Corey Petty
Bro.
Dee
I have the funniest moment in a meeting on with Sasha. Basically everybody on the insights and, like. Like we were giving these, like, probabilities of something being done by a certain date, and they were using their dating and I was using ours. So I was like, how did we go from being done with this by next week to being done with this in July or.
Dee
Yeah, yeah.
Corey Petty
Oh, so they were using like they were going like.
Speaker3
Day month.
Dee
Year.
Corey Petty
Day. And I was.
Corey Petty
Year I, I.
Corey Petty
Do, I do owe.
Corey Petty
You for me I do year month year month day.
Corey Petty
Yeah. But like.
Corey Petty
But as like the standard way we grow up in America, it's month.
Dee
Day year.
Corey Petty
Month day month. September 6th, 1984. That's my birthday. Oh, yeah. It is.
Dee
Yeah.
Jessie Broke
You don't know. This is probably. I should probably not share this. Should not.
Jessie Broke
Share this.
Corey Petty
Yeah, yeah. So let's
Corey Petty
I mean, you can. It's not going to show the password. If it does, we'll just blot it out. If it does, well, it isn't streamed. We'll just post it out.
Jessie Broke
Let's just look at my desk. Oh, wait. Hold on.
Corey Petty
Kung fu. Of course it is. I know I can already tell. I can almost tell you what the password is based on the name of the CID.
Jessie Broke
No. You can't.
Corey Petty
Panda.
Jessie Broke
No. Okay.
Corey Petty
I like that was a long. No. It's.
Corey Petty
No, no.
Corey Petty
It's not anymore. Hold on.
Jessie Broke
Actually, I don't know what the password is here. Let's, let's.
Corey Petty
You don't know what your password is.
Jessie Broke
Oh, yeah. Look at that. It does.
Jessie Broke
I mean, yeah.
Jessie Broke
For so much.
Jessie Broke
For it doesn't show I shouldn't.
Corey Petty
Anyway. We can we can bleep it out. We have we have producers.
Dee
I just feel like everything on the internet is forever, so, like, let's just not even show.
Corey Petty
No idea.
Dee
Yeah, like, what if somebody streamyard deep in the caves of StreamYard is going through footage?
Corey Petty
Change your Wi-Fi passwords. Just change your Wi-Fi password.
Corey Petty
Shut up. It's fine.
Jessie Broke
There's some pain in the butt.
Dee
There's a troll at StreamYard looking at all the video footage, looking for passwords and you giving your birthday out.
Corey Petty
Well, screw scanning video content for passwords is not the most efficient use. Use useful use of your time.
Dee
That's for the in the pirate interns.
Jessie Broke
I'm almost done. I gotta.
Corey Petty
I gotta call a story about the guy from. The Reno Digital Forensics department telling me horror stories about his job. I don't think I don't I don't think I'll get into that, but it's basically like. So it's their job is like 99% watching gay porn.
Dee
Ooh, that's.
Jessie Broke
That's that's a thing.
Corey Petty
That is a fake.
Corey Petty
Why? Because I don't know why we're getting into this, but sure. Why not? I was at a I was at a security conference, and I made friends with the, like one of the digital forensics officers of of of Reno, Nevada. We talked about like the what? Pedophiles do to hide. Their their videos. And so what ends up happening is that like when when you when you sequester a hard drive and you need to go through it and watch all the videos on it to ensure that, you know, there's there's no bad media on it, you have to go through all these videos a lot of times, like when they find. It is embedded in the middle of gay pornography.
Corey Petty
It starts out with a, you know, a gay porn video and then cuts to what these sickos want to watch in hopes that, like, they start off with a thing and then they don't like that they stop watching it. So it's like, kind of it's like these people who are the forensics experts have to watch all of this, all of it, in order to find it, because I don't think there's a good video like processing process for. Doing that automatically.
Jessie Broke
Why can't you just use computer vision like Dick?
Corey Petty
I feel like we're in the. This was a this was. This was years ago. Oh. So I feel like we're finally at a point of technology.
Dee
Where, like you said, spatial. We can save.
Corey Petty
These poor humans lives for having to watch this garbage. To find to find garbage. Like that's that's part of their they're like really professional life. Like cool if you're into that type of thing. The gay porn. Cool. I don't give a shit. It's fine. But like as a professional digital forensics person, that's not where you want to be spending your time in order to find really terrible things. So hopefully we've come to a point of technology where you can save these people from having to work.
Dee
Save them from looking at all those, you know.
Corey Petty
But I thought that was interesting. I mean, one, it's like clever of these assholes to try and do that, but like, it's also like the people who are sequestering these things and going through digital forensics are smarter than that, but they unfortunately have to go through the process of digging through it. The digital forensics is really hard. It's a lot of slog. And chain of command. So like a safari.
Speaker3
I'd imagine.
Dee
Messes with people's head after a while.
Corey Petty
Oh, like, look.
Corey Petty
At, like, think about this concept. If a person is rated. And you take over their computer hardware and then tag it, bag it, bring it to the office or whatever. And then it goes through the process of getting looked through and so on and so forth. Every single time that hard drive changes hands, gets looked at, moved, changed, altered. Anytime someone touches it, if it's not recorded appropriately, exactly what happens, who did it, and when they did it, it's inadmissible as evidence if it if that is fucked up once inadmissible as evidence regardless of what you find.
Corey Petty
So that like audit trail of what happens to that piece of hardware has to be perfect.
Dee
Yeah, I'd imagine that's safe too, because like, anything could happen from hand to hand. So you got to.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Dee
You got to document all that.
Corey Petty
So you just installed DAPPnode on this thing, right?
Corey Petty
Yep, yep. It's just booting. So it took.
Corey Petty
One. It took one weird story. To install DAPPnode on a hard drive.
Dee
Yep.
Dee
I learned learned about something I didn't think I needed to know about, but I know about it now, so.
Corey Petty
All right, we did that.
Jessie Broke
Let's. All right. DAPPnodes running on the machine.
Dee
What you guys just saw was Jesse put together a node from the pieces. We went over the pieces. Motherboard case, central processing unit, Ram, hard drive. All right, we put all those together, and that what you see there before you, the fan on top. That's that unit right there.
Speaker3
Hit a couple.
Corey Petty
Snags because the hopeful power supply didn't quite work. So absolutely next time you see it there's going to be some magic. And it's going to be an actual power supply that fits into this case.
Dee
It's.
Dee
Going to be sleek ish. But we got we got we got it running. We finally got it to post. And now.
Jessie Broke
I'm outside of the.
Jessie Broke
Amazon return window for the power supply.
Dee
You successfully.
Corey Petty
Another one? Yeah.
Dee
Installed the DAPPnode OS. And now we're going to run through on the next episode of Build a Node with Jesse.
Corey Petty
Yeah.
Corey Petty
So basically everything we did today was everything you need to do if you wanted to build your own PC to run DAPPnode, you don't know how to do that. Well, we can include the parts list once we get the full thing created so that you can recreate what we have. So, you know, it works. And there's also you can just Google it. There's probably other build lists that work for this thing. But the next, next will be basically what you go through if you have done what we just did and built your own PC and installed DAPPnode onto it, or you just bought a DAPPnode and you want to go through the process of installing specific nodes on your DAPPnode via the DAPPnode software. Yep.
Corey Petty
Cool.
Dee
And go.
Corey Petty
Peace.
