1
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,200
all right so it's personal rig update time again although unfortunately I

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:17,760
don't have nearly as much of an update for you guys as I would have liked so

3
00:00:15,879 --> 00:00:22,840
I'm starting to test fit things together honestly I haven't worked on the project

4
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,800
in quite a while um the the tops of my

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:30,279
Copperhead spreaders are still at the plating shop where I discovered that

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,960
they actually can't be plated because they aren't brass which is what I

7
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:39,120
thought they were made of they are made of colored aluminum uh which is going to

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,200
be a bit of an issue so uh yeah that's

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,079
no good as you can see I've made some rough marks on the back in terms of

10
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:52,239
where I want to cut out a CPU cutout as well as some cable management holes

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,160
um yeah I put this back in you can see

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,559
it's no longer black it is now completely stripped I actually had some

13
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:01,120
issues with some of the metal that I um

14
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:05,960
that I got back from the plating shop cuz they were covered in white residue

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,400
when I got them back and so I cleaned them and unfortunately I didn't dry them

16
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:14,080
as well as IID thought and I got some rusting going on so I had to clean them

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:19,000
again with WD40 which means I'm going to have to um rinse them in a solvent

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,960
before I can actually get them painted

19
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:28,040
um yeah so some of that going on there

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:30,000
um right test fitting components so this

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:34,280
this whole phase is going to be basically getting the whole system built

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:40,680
and wired so all the custom wires made and sleeved and all whoops and all of

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:42,159
that without um before I get it painted

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,560
so the whole thing has to be pretty much done and then it's time to send

25
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:48,960
everything off for painting once I've made all the cuts that I need to make as

26
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:56,960
you can see I've switched motherboards I'm actually going to be going with the x79 ud5 unless a better option presents

27
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,600
itself because in terms of coil wine um

28
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,960
and aesthetic appeal it's the best balance I can find the ASUS one doesn't

29
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:08,200
coil wine but the color scheme doesn't really match what I'm trying to do and

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:13,200
this one the MSI one that I have is a bit of a coil wine issue when sort of

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,160
doing anything um the irony is that this one doesn't whine when I'm doing

32
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:23,920
anything CPU intensive but it windes when I'm transferring anything over the network so yeah every board has its

33
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:27,360
quirks I'm I can't stand Quail wine personally and it's really dampened my

34
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,680
enthusiasm for the whole project to be perfectly honest cuz I hate spending a

35
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:33,959
bunch of time building something that I know I'm not going to be happy with and

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,000
I'm going to have to change something later um other progress though moving

37
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:43,519
right along speaking of things that don't coil wine and are awesome in every

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:50,239
way the XFX 80 plus Platinum power supply so I've actually done uh the come

39
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:54,360
on Focus you can do it focus on that and then focus on that there you go uh so

40
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:57,640
I've done the bulk of the sleeving that'll that'll go into this power

41
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:03,040
supply cuz I'm not going to bother sleeving things that you're not going to be able to see I'll just leave the stock

42
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:09,159
leaving on those ones so you can see the CPU connector in there is done the 24

43
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,720
pin connector here is done so that's pretty much what it'll look like with my

44
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,599
uh patented two wires per sleeve individual sleeving so

45
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,120
semi-individual sleeving is what we'll call that yeah I think it looks pretty

46
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,080
sharp so you can see the color is a little bit right at the very

47
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:33,439
ends I'm willing to uh live with that compromise so yeah I think that's pretty

48
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:36,360
much it um so you guys will find out in

49
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:41,640
a moment why I haven't had any time to work on my personal rig and uh I

50
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:45,840
apologize for the color in this shot because it's terrible we had a bit of a

51
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:50,840
camera malfunction but uh we caught him at his best so we're probably just going

52
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,840
to going to go with

53
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,480
that so guys this is the reason why uh I

54
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:03,239
haven't really had time to work on my personal rig other than

55
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:08,439
the couple small updates that you can see uh that you saw so far let's make

56
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:12,760
sure he's sitting here okay so this is my baby boy and uh not sure how many

57
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,759
appearances he'll make on the channel but uh at any rate I figured I'd give

58
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:25,800
you guys sort of the scoop of what's going on and he's doing pretty well on the

59
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:28,720
camera here can you give us a

60
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,720
smile what do you think

61
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,919
I don't think we're going to get a smile out of him that's okay we had another

62
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:42,840
clip that had bad white balance where he randomly randomly managed to smile a

63
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:50,160
little bit so let's just get him scooped up here okay so let's see your your

64
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:54,160
practice say thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech

65
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,120
tips oh wow what good timing

66
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:08,800
um yeah I know sweetheart so guys this is basically the

67
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:15,080
reason why I haven't had any time at all to work on my personal rig and

68
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:21,560
uh you uh some for some reason the camera loves him and he loves it because

69
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,280
he was so grumpy for the hour leading up

70
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:30,080
to us filming this and now he's giving us a nice big long smile so uh this is

71
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:32,120
my baby boy and I'm not sure if he'll

72
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,720
make too many appearances in the videos but uh there you go so more personal rig

73
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:42,560
updates when I get to it but for now there are other

74
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,560
priorities aren't their sweetheart
