00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:13.200
all right so it's personal rig update time again although unfortunately I

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

00:00:15.879 --> 00:00:22.840
I'm starting to test fit things together honestly I haven't worked on the project

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.800
in quite a while um the the tops of my

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:30.279
Copperhead spreaders are still at the plating shop where I discovered that

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.960
they actually can't be plated because they aren't brass which is what I

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:39.120
thought they were made of they are made of colored aluminum uh which is going to

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:41.200
be a bit of an issue so uh yeah that's

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

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:52.239
where I want to cut out a CPU cutout as well as some cable management holes

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.160
um yeah I put this back in you can see

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:59.559
it's no longer black it is now completely stripped I actually had some

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:01.120
issues with some of the metal that I um

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:05.960
that I got back from the plating shop cuz they were covered in white residue

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

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

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

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:24.960
before I can actually get them painted

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:28.040
um yeah so some of that going on there

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:30.000
um right test fitting components so this

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:34.280
this whole phase is going to be basically getting the whole system built

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:40.680
and wired so all the custom wires made and sleeved and all whoops and all of

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.159
that without um before I get it painted

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

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

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

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.600
itself because in terms of coil wine um

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:02.960
and aesthetic appeal it's the best balance I can find the ASUS one doesn't

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

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

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.160
doing anything um the irony is that this one doesn't whine when I'm doing

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

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:27.360
quirks I'm I can't stand Quail wine personally and it's really dampened my

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.680
enthusiasm for the whole project to be perfectly honest cuz I hate spending a

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

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.000
I'm going to have to change something later um other progress though moving

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:43.519
right along speaking of things that don't coil wine and are awesome in every

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:50.239
way the XFX 80 plus Platinum power supply so I've actually done uh the come

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

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.640
I've done the bulk of the sleeving that'll that'll go into this power

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

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

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

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:17.599
uh patented two wires per sleeve individual sleeving so

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:22.120
semi-individual sleeving is what we'll call that yeah I think it looks pretty

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:27.080
sharp so you can see the color is a little bit right at the very

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

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:36.360
much it um so you guys will find out in

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

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

00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:50.840
camera malfunction but uh we caught him at his best so we're probably just going

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:50.840
to going to go with

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:58.480
that so guys this is the reason why uh I

00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:03.239
haven't really had time to work on my personal rig other than

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

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

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

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

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:28.720
camera here can you give us a

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:31.720
smile what do you think

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

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.840
clip that had bad white balance where he randomly randomly managed to smile a

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

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:54.160
practice say thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:03.120
tips oh wow what good timing

00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:08.800
um yeah I know sweetheart so guys this is basically the

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

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:21.560
uh you uh some for some reason the camera loves him and he loves it because

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:23.280
he was so grumpy for the hour leading up

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

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:32.120
my baby boy and I'm not sure if he'll

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:37.720
make too many appearances in the videos but uh there you go so more personal rig

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:42.560
updates when I get to it but for now there are other

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.560
priorities aren't their sweetheart
