00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.960
you just finished building your new gaming rig and it looks awesome but

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:08.160
there's one big problem the cables are

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.400
boring sure keyboards come with generic sleeved

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:17.039
cables these days and the majority of power supplies have moved on from

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:20.640
ketchup and mustard to black but where's the personality in that how do you set

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:25.279
your build apart from the rest of it there well don't worry custom sleeve

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:29.119
cables aren't for die-hard enthusiasts anymore and with a bit of know-how you

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:32.880
can make your own just be careful because we're not taking any

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.239
responsibility if you accidentally fry your board you just spent a couple

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.840
hundred dollars on but don't worry right

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:44.480
it's gonna be fine the g skill tridency royal elite series

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.000
represents peak ddr4 performance and is designed with a beautiful crystalline

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:53.239
pattern across its polished aluminum heat spreader get yours today using the

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.239
link below

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.880
this is one hell of a first real problem but right now i'm stuck using this super

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.360
long cable to plug my phone into my car and it looks awful

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:15.360
not only is it plain but the xs gets tangled up and i can't really close the

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:19.920
chummy and uh it's just gross so let's fix that

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.360
typically if you only need a single cable you're probably better off

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.920
ordering something from a custom site but if you like diy and like to have it

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:33.200
your own way or are building an entire set then building your own cables is a

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:34.880
great way to go if i'm honest i've never

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.640
done this before the script says it's easy enough you just add some paracord

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:45.680
and some solder points right yeah technically so

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:50.000
are we just doing it yeah oh sick for making a usb cable it's you know your

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:55.520
standard electrical tool soldering iron carbon filter wire strippers and cutters

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:59.360
a heat gun and some wood or metal dowel we'll explain those last two later we've

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:04.079
also got a pair of helping hands to help keep things in place as well as well the

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.319
script says standard lighter hours didn't have fuel so this is what

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:13.840
we've got for materials we've got some usb 2.0 cable

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.560
paracord sleeving USB-C connectors and

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:21.680
their housings usb a connectors and also their housings so you always need this

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:26.720
stuff over here but for personalization you can go for just about any color of

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:30.319
paracord heat shrink and tech flex this nifty purple one right here is what i

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.959
chose because i like it but the options really are

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:39.200
pretty much endless we've got a few examples here today but there are dozens

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:42.640
if not hundreds of different patterns available online we'll decide on the

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.400
heat shrink color and whether or not i want to add any tech flex later on there

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:50.959
are a few things to know when ordering your supplies primarily the size of

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:54.160
everything you can find thinner usb cable which makes for an easier time

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.640
sleeving but you have to make sure that you have the right size and shrink ratio

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:03.599
for your shrink wrap or it just won't stay on and if you're making a usbc to

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:08.480
usbc cable like i wanted to try and make today you have to make sure you've got

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:13.440
at least one end with the 5.1 k ohm resistor on the cc1 and cc2 ports this

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:18.000
helps the host device make sense of the incoming signal when using usbc

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:22.720
connectors with usb 2 cables so yeah i guess our c2c connectors didn't arrive

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:28.480
in time i'll kind of show you exactly why we can't do it here so this is the

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.159
size of the pads we're dealing with and uh the resistor that we have is

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:37.760
well it's pretty much bigger than the connector so i think you can see why that would work so yeah because of all

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:41.760
that we'll be doing a classic USB-C to type a configuration today by the way if

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:46.319
you guys love diy stuff make sure you're subscribed because Linus is diying his

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:50.239
whole new house right now it's gonna be suck well i guess if we're doing type a it

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:54.720
doesn't solve my car problem so i kind of want to just have a long one sure how

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:58.959
expensive is this stuff not very not very this roll was probably

00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:04.319
20 bucks for 50 feet or something like that okay that's not bad okay so now

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:08.080
that i have this i need equal length paracord is that what i'm seeing correct

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.360
all right so we just pull these strands out

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.680
and that's how we're able to put our cable in i guess so i'm having a bit of

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.919
trouble getting it in i have just the tip do i just keep on going like this or is

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:25.360
there an easier way to do it so you want to fix the fray so this is where the blowtorch comes in normally we use a

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:30.720
lighter okay yeah so you want to set that bad boy fire but melt it oh my god

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.880
it might have melted it a little too closed nope

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.880
oh

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.440
okay let's don't breathe that in i feel like

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.600
i made it worse yeah i feel like you did too

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:54.400
yeah this definitely seems like a lighter job instead of a mouse yeah that's kind of why i was hoping for a

00:04:52.479 --> 00:05:00.560
lighter map gas wasn't working great we're going to try just a touch of ca

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:05.280
oh yeah there we go so this seems very doable for like one cable but if you

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:10.000
wanted to do like a 24 pin how long would this take luckily with 24 pin it's

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:13.600
thinner so the 18 gauge wire that we'll be working with when we do the PCIe

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.759
connector later it's not as hard this is a thicker cable so it takes a lot more

00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:22.639
effort to actually get everything all the way through so there's a usbc

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.680
okay here's the usb a all right this is a lot easier to solder

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.120
because you just have to do these four channels here whereas this one you need to do those four little points these are

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:35.039
helping hands you don't need them but they make your life a lot easier so we

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.560
do have some flux core solder so you don't need it

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.080
but if you want for your solder joints to look good

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:46.240
i would recommend putting a little bit on there so what the flux is doing is

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:51.039
just preventing air from getting in and making your like solder joints all gross

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:55.120
and corroded like yeah so pluth just brought this up and i had the same

00:05:52.320 --> 00:06:00.960
concern when i was soldering these the heat shrink that was on them moved back

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:02.720
and if they touch your device is dead

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:08.080
so are we doing anything to fix that

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:09.600
well we could glue the whole thing oh

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:13.360
i'm done for that yeah so i actually do this all the time and it's a good idea

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.720
from ploof to do it here when you have just something that you soldered you

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.720
don't want to have the connection take all the strains so if you just

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.520
dab a bunch of hot glue on there it's good so yeah it doesn't matter which

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:29.759
cable goes to which one you just have to make sure that on both sides you do the

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:34.400
same one so we're going black red green white and we could do

00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:36.880
any permutation of those doesn't matter just make sure it's the same on both

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:40.639
sides or okay so basically

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:45.199
touch these two together it makes a beep continuity tester

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:50.160
easy i have no clue which pins do which thing but

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:52.240
yeah so ground is the whole housing

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.520
to this pin yep

00:06:53.919 --> 00:06:59.360
and then how

00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:04.800
all right yeah we're just plugging it in i need much finer tips to get in there

00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:08.639
this seems like a fire hazard so then you hold that part

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:11.919
all right and we should just be able to plug your phone or your keyboard or

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:17.599
whatever in that's okay i've done it before as long as those wires don't

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:20.960
touch hey look at that charging it works so normally what you can do at

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:26.160
this point too is you can like plug it into a laptop or something or your computer to make sure data transfer

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:29.680
works as well but i think we're good um i'm not concerned about that alex has

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:32.400
got all his wires going the only concern i have right now is the exposed wires

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.639
there so we're going to glue everything together before we heat shrink and put all the housing on

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.039
oh that'll do so yeah i'm quite happy with my little

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:49.919
cable here Colton we don't sell cables like this on

00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.039
lttstore.com but we do sell cable ties

00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:55.360
and water bottles actually you should get a water bottle so okay so what we forgot to do is we forgot to show you

00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:00.960
how to tech flex stuff and we also forgot to show you how to coil stuff if

00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:02.879
you want to coil so what this is for is

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:06.800
it's mostly aesthetic but it also makes the cable a little thicker oh so the

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.759
tech flex is just like protection for your paracord yeah it's like a

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:13.440
protection and some people like the kind of like sheen that it gives like i've

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:18.400
got a few different kinds this one's just black i think but then there's also

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.520
a clear guy here and then this is shimmer or maybe this is the black and

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.400
this is the shimmer yeah this is the shimmer oh yeah sleeving yeah right

00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.720
too bad you know you don't want this on there right no okay good

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:36.479
you basically just hold it with one thumb and then start wrapping it around

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:38.080
like that okay easy yeah cool

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:42.560
now we just give her with the heat gun yeah one thing to note before you start

00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:47.200
be careful if you put too much heat you can

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:52.640
like damage the cable first of all but you can also just damage the exterior of

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.800
the paracord or if you're using techflex it melts a lot easier than this stuff

00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:59.760
does and so you want to always use the lowest heat on your heat gun when doing

00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.279
this because it's really easy on high heat to just like basically destroy your

00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:08.000
cable or make it look really bad by giving this big dark black spot on it

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.680
okay so i was about to give her at 950 degrees i would not do that don't do

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:16.160
that i would not do that also this is an aluminum rod it's going to get really

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.320
hot really fast so at this point normally what you do is

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:25.040
you would keep this like it is and then you would let it sit for a few hours uh

00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:30.640
ideally even overnight and then you can remove the tape and the coil should

00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:32.320
basically retain its um form okay cool

00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:36.560
yeah so we've got a few coils already made and so nice once you're done

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:40.080
you end up with something kind of like this yeah it doesn't spring it just adds

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:43.839
a little character to your cable some people like to like have the cable come

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.800
out like an inch and then have a coil go across most of the keyboard and then the

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.480
cable comes out yeah it looks pretty but that's about it

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:54.160
i dig it yeah so now that alex has finished making his

00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:58.880
nice usb cable Anthony is going to try his hand at making a PCIe connector an

00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:04.399
extension for your power supply have you done this before Anthony no

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:08.480
perfect i haven't either unlike the usb cables which i've made plenty of i

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:11.279
haven't done any extensions for cables i've been meaning to get into it and so

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.880
this is a good opportunity for both of us to learn all right so we've got 18

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.480
gauge wire which should handle you know most graphics cards pretty comfortably

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:24.160
these are okay male and female connectors pretty

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:24.160
nice just have them

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.920
yeah we've got these terminals these are the actual

00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:34.959
ends these are basically what actually plugs into your graphics card it's not

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:38.320
this that plugs in it's this and this is connected directly to the wire inside

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:46.760
this thankfully we've got some uh crimpy boys here

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.760
so satisfying

00:10:46.959 --> 00:10:53.519
i've done Ethernet runs before lots of Ethernet runs

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.640
and uh let me tell you those the crimpers that don't have this ratcheting

00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:00.959
mechanism do not buy them they need the

00:10:58.839 --> 00:11:06.000
ratchet so i can't help but noticing that our wire is all black and that's

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:09.200
going to be difficult to distinguish between the different wires but the

00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:13.360
great thing about extensions is that as long as your pins are all lined up properly you don't have to worry about

00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:17.519
the pin out diagram for each power supply that just goes straight through they're already

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:21.760
set up properly so you're just extending them the bad thing

00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:26.640
about extensions though is that they obviously take up more room in your case

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.839
because there is more actual cable so

00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:32.320
chances are low we're going to fry something right but for this we don't need to solder anything so for some of

00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:36.399
you this is probably going to be easier we're going for more of an LTT orange

00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:40.079
for our paracord this time around so yeah it should look a little bit better

00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:44.720
on the inside of your case if uh my estimation is correct i like orange

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:47.519
so along with the uh crimpy boys here

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:52.160
we have wire cutters or side cutters actually

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:55.760
this here pin extraction tool if we make a mistake with uh sliding those pins

00:11:54.640 --> 00:12:01.120
into these here connectors we also have

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:04.160
where's the wire yeah there it is wire strippers

00:12:02.959 --> 00:12:07.680
and most importantly we have

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:13.519
a lighter and the reason for that is heat shrink which i'm sure we've

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:17.200
already gone over right yeah so yeah to start we'll measure out our cable and

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:21.040
sleeving for each terminal we're just doing an eight pin connector so we need

00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:24.480
eight wires always make sure to buy extra materials just in case you need

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:29.760
them we could easily screw up a wire a terminal or even one of our connectors

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.360
so we bought extras we each like

00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:35.120
also make sure to give yourself some slack for cable management so

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:40.560
measure the general path you think you'll be taking along the back of your case and then maybe add an inch on top

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.680
of that we're going to just push ours straight against our measuring tool like

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.399
so and give it a snip with the side cutters at the desired length

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:53.760
then you do the same for your sleeving material alright there's eight

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:57.360
mostly equal lengths so the next step is stripping the cables and attaching our

00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:01.279
terminals you want to expose about three millimeters on each end so measure and

00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:04.639
strip if you want to be extra careful you can mark with a knife or something

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:08.880
sharp while you've got your ruler out when you're choosing a

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:13.360
wire stripper make sure that the little detents in here that line up to

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:19.360
different wire sizes actually match up with your wire in this

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:21.920
case we've got from 32 gauge up to 20

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:26.639
gauge but we need 18 gauge this is just gonna like destroy some of the cable

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.160
these are pretty awesome um they don't always work depending on your

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:34.480
cable i know i've tried mine with speaker wire and the shielding on that

00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:37.519
is just way too thick but on something like this if you just feed in a couple

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.399
of millimeters and you give it a little

00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:48.399
check that out oh that's awesome yeah it's super nice

00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:52.260
guess what they connect oh my god

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:56.079
unlimited power

00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:02.639
so wait we're just gonna have a single piece of paracord with all of these in it uh no

00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:07.440
so you'll be sleeving each individual wire okay so that you have individual strands

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:12.880
on your extension okay so yeah push that through

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:17.680
strip it off well you might want to measure and then cut to length

00:14:14.959 --> 00:14:22.079
screw measuring okay so how much of the paracord should

00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:25.760
be covering this it shouldn't be covering the

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:30.399
terminal it should be covering up until basically where the terminal meets the

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.680
wire okay so right about there yeah so

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.040
if i measure with another terminal

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:41.839
then that should theoretically and then if the ends are frayed we've got a lighter on

00:14:40.079 --> 00:14:46.079
hand so you can melt them up but that looks that looks okay

00:14:45.199 --> 00:14:51.040
well one endless all right the other end looks uh well i

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:58.720
mean it looks kind of like the black that you'd normally get on the end of these let's see if it goes in

00:14:55.839 --> 00:15:02.079
nice it clicked in all right let's try the other end

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:09.279
yeah now from here we need to make sure that we get into the correct orientation

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:13.279
so actually probably what we could do get them together like

00:15:10.839 --> 00:15:16.720
that oh damn

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:22.959
all right that's our extension we're done we're done

00:15:18.959 --> 00:15:22.959
one down seven to go oh god

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:32.880
as it turns out what we were doing before we we assumed that uh female would go to

00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:36.720
female and we didn't really think to question that

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:40.560
and like male would go to male but you know on second thought i'm like is

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:46.959
there normally like a like a little thing sticking out of the mail end of a

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.480
pci express connector and like

00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:53.120
i guess it makes sense because it's got to go so far into this one right nothing

00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:57.519
really clicked so when i said that i didn't i've never done this before i

00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:02.639
haven't done this before and we managed to get this mail and in

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:09.040
specifically because i managed to mash that so badly with crimping so crimp it

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:12.000
once only on the four wings so

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:16.079
it should look very much like

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:20.320
that flat on the back

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:23.759
chunky in the front i got there in the end

00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:29.600
but we had tainan come in and you know kind of redo everything because i have

00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:32.720
other things to do today tldr this which

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.519
this plugs into is in fact male

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:38.800
so it's like a seahorse i guess i don't know

00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:43.040
anyway it's reversed from what you'd think it is also um

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:46.639
for those of you playing along at home we discovered that

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:52.320
if this little groove on the top of the male end here specifically

00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:54.880
the female doesn't have quite that same

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:58.399
key if that is pinched in any way you're going to have a bad time it's not going

00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:02.240
to lock into place you might it might actually like

00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.559
straight up not go in so yeah

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.400
just pinch here

00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:12.559
it's beautiful Anthony

00:17:13.919 --> 00:17:18.439
so your first one might look like this

00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:26.400
actually you know what if we had multiple different colors we could just have this be a rainbow you could you

00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:27.760
could mismatch the lengths by on purpose

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:32.320
in order to make yourself a nice aesthetic i mean this just looks like i

00:17:29.919 --> 00:17:36.880
don't know a giant cheeto are you ready to test it Anthony am i ready to test it

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:40.720
hell yeah oh man um you know what would be a good way to

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:45.480
test it if we have a multimeter yay

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.480
one

00:17:53.840 --> 00:18:00.840
two three

00:17:57.840 --> 00:18:00.840
four

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.960
one more come on

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:15.360
we've got an old i think it's a 680. okay

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.679
good luck everybody

00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:20.480
oh i got a flashing cursor uh oh

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.280
now blank screen do we not like it no it works

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.720
yes but there's no keyboard detected oh what

00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:35.360
a mess i'm not happy with it i wish i could go back and redo it but this is what we're

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:39.280
living with now these connectors are very finicky they're they're simple

00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:43.919
enough to understand they're simple enough to use but if you

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:49.679
don't have a little bit of practice getting them just right you're gonna end

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.840
up wasting a lot of wire and other

00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:56.480
materials thankfully those materials are not very expensive and if you can get

00:18:53.679 --> 00:19:00.480
them for you know relatively cheap in bulk uh and presumably from the same

00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:05.679
supplier so you don't have to pay multiple shipping costs but it's fun and

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:08.960
gratifying to sit down and actually make these cables look the way they do and

00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:12.640
you can make them look however you want and uh i think that's great you know

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:17.280
just learn how to do something new the drop pc38x gaming headset was built in

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.559
collaboration with sennheiser it features an open back design based on

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:25.039
the respected pc37x but with some added

00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:29.679
enhancements the retuned drivers deliver higher fidelity and better frequency

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:33.919
response the rated impedance is now 28 ohms for use with gaming controllers or

00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:38.000
other lower power devices and the new knit mesh headband means less heat

00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:42.400
retention and better comfort it includes two sets of cables for either your pc or

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:47.039
your console and two different ear pads knit mesh or velour buy yours today and

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.200
get twenty dollars off a pair with code drop this at the link down below

00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:55.360
do you make your own cables at home or have you been thinking of getting into it let us know in the comments below and

00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:01.520
make sure to check out our video on building a mechanical keyboard that was

00:19:57.760 --> 00:20:01.520
a lot of fun too
