This episode launches a special PC build series on Your Tech Report, following the process of building a high-performance gaming and creator PC from the ground up. Marc Aflalo and his son Zach are assembling a system component by component, learning directly from the companies behind the hardware.

Bryan de Zayas from NZXT explains why starting a build with the case, cooling, and power supply sets the foundation for everything that follows. Instead of chasing a graphics card first, the conversation focuses on airflow design, cable management, power headroom, and engineering choices that support both gaming and creative workloads.

Bryan walks through NZXT’s design philosophy, showing how clean, minimalist cases are the result of careful internal engineering. The discussion highlights how cable routing and internal layout improve airflow, thermals, and overall system reliability, not just aesthetics.

The episode also covers common mistakes builders make when choosing power supplies and cooling systems, especially underestimating future upgrades. Bryan shares practical advice on wattage planning, fan placement, system positioning, and ongoing maintenance to keep performance consistent over time.

The conversation wraps with the official NZXT hardware selected for the build: the H9 Flow RGB+ case, Kraken Elite RGB 360mm cooler, and a 1200-watt power supply. Beyond hardware, the episode highlights the personal side of PC building, focusing on creativity, family connection, and how gaming can support social development.

Enterprise mobility is no longer just device control. In this conversation, Marc Aflalo speaks with Joel Matthew from SOTI about modern Android management, frontline productivity, real-time visibility, and how AI is changing enterprise mobility management.

SOTI has grown from a remote troubleshooting tool into a global enterprise mobility platform used by 17,000 customers across 180 countries. Joel Matthew, Manager of Product Management at SOTI, explains how the company helps organizations manage, secure, and extract real value from their mobile technology investments.

The discussion covers the evolution of mobile device management, moving beyond basic lockdown and restriction toward outcomes that improve productivity, security, and return on investment. Joel breaks down how different industries balance security and usability, from healthcare and government to retail and logistics.

Marc and Joel also explore real-time intelligence and why data-driven visibility matters for frontline operations. Joel explains how SOTI tools help organizations monitor device health, usage, and performance to support better decisions and stronger KPIs.

A major focus is SOTI Sync and the announcements made at the event, including Stella AI, SOTI’s new AI-powered assistant. Joel explains how natural language queries simplify complex enterprise workflows, reduce time spent navigating tools, and help IT teams focus on higher-impact work.

The conversation wraps with a deep dive into Lockdown Reimagined on the SOTI ONE platform.
