1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,120
this personal rig update is going to be a little different for starters I'm

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:14,120
filming right now obviously and yet my personal rig is about 20 minutes away by

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,400
car at my house on my desk so how can we

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:23,800
update it well good question we are going to be doing something that we've

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:27,160
never done before we will be building a

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,000
case from scratch so come along with us

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:36,480
for the ride of your life as Taran and and I collaborate to design the new case

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,640
that we'll be sending to protoc case for

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,559
fabrication oh and if custom cases don't

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,079
appeal to you then you can drop a like on this video if you want to see another

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,170
video that I'm planning where I'll be building a sick rig with no case at all

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,119
that's going to be awesome

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,720
too the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,200
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

15
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:14,720
out the link in the video description to learn more so our adventure started in

16
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,880
the server room not because we couldn't look up the dimensions of a standard

17
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:21,759
rack mount chassis on the internet oh yeah for those of you who missed part

18
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:27,840
one we'll be building my personal rig in a rack mount case this time but because

19
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,560
to control the scope of the project I

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,759
wanted to pick out a size that I figured I could move around fairly easily then

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,840
work backwards to see what kind of Hardware I could fit inside versus just

22
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:43,040
kind of coming up with the dream Hardware spec list and then ending up

23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:48,200
with the Corsair 900d like what evidently happened to George so then it

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:53,479
was time to take those measurements to our 3D modeling program of choice

25
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,200
SketchUp and yes yes I know SketchUp is

26
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:59,320
not the best modeling software on the face of the Earth but you know what it's

27
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,960
what Teran knows how to use and this is a video about designing a case not a

28
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,320
video about learning a brand new 3D modeling software or whatever so we

29
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:12,000
built out the outer walls making sure that our case would conform to the

30
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:16,560
standard width of a rack mounted case and to my length Target to keep the

31
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:21,200
overall size reasonable we're going with a 4u case so that takes care of the

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:26,560
height that's four standard rack mount height units tall because while a 3u

33
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:32,760
would accommodate full height expansion cards like graphics cards it would make

34
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,519
using all 120 mm fans in the design

35
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,920
untenable and while the Acoustics of the system technically don't really matter

36
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:44,959
with this project because I'll be moving the finished system outside of my office

37
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,920
into a closet I'd still prefer to use them even if only so that I can use the

38
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:54,959
custom n12 fans that we have noct to making in our LT color scheme so there

39
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,519
were a couple noteworthy things that were really cool about this project for

40
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:05,959
us the first was that we discovered just how How deep the library of PC component

41
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:12,560
models is in the online database and while some of them are not to scale for

42
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:18,080
some reason um others are both shockingly accurate and perfectly to

43
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,680
scale allowing a custom rig maker to really test out his or her design before

44
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:28,040
doing any of the really expensive prototyping steps it's really great for

45
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,239
working on PC projects like this I also

46
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:35,239
discovered why most case designers probably learned to 3D model themselves

47
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:39,760
I swear Taran spent about a billion years fixing the coherency of the model

48
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,959
or some stupid crap when I must have told him a dozen times Taran we're just

49
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:47,319
submitting this to someone else to fix up and ultimately manufacture they're

50
00:03:45,799 --> 00:03:52,360
going to deal with the picky details but he was like no it's

51
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:57,599
important so fine speaking of guidance I guess this is a good opportunity to show

52
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,000
you guys why I did need Taran to help me

53
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:04,040
so this is the mockup that I origin submitted two protoc case when I was

54
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:11,480
pitching them the concept of an Enthusiast grade water cooled for you

55
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,799
case they were like H okay yes I see

56
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,320
where you're going with this but could we get something a little

57
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:23,080
more uh detailed but but but for all its faults

58
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:27,759
that original mockup did help us through the creation of the proper 3D model so

59
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,360
we determined after some fooling around with different fan models that we'd need

60
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:38,080
to use 120 mm fans in the front because while 140 mm fans would fit there

61
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,840
wouldn't be enough clearance for the tanks at the ends of the radiator if we

62
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,919
wanted the middle fan centered in the front of the case something my OCD

63
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:49,080
simply required to happen and then using

64
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:52,440
the tried and true method of folding it out of paper then handing it to someone

65
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,880
else to 3D model I showed Taran how I wanted the Second Bank of fans and

66
00:04:55,039 --> 00:05:02,720
second radiator to mount behind the first one uh between these two and the

67
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:08,560
potential final single 120 mm that gives me now a total of seven 120 mm radiator

68
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:13,160
spots uh plenty of cooling for the hardware I'll be putting inside the next

69
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,720
stage was figuring out how the rest of our components were going to fit in the

70
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:24,280
space that we had now the original plan yes I know it's terrible had a dual tube

71
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,280
Reservoir setup with two pumps one for each which is more for redundancy in the

72
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,840
event of a pump failure than anything else after inserting a motherboard and

73
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,440
power supply we realized that in order to have our hard pipe tubing setup look

74
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,600
good I mean yes we could have made it work the original way but to make it

75
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:45,960
look good we had to scale it back to a

76
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:51,039
single pump and Reservoir not what I was aiming for but a first world problem for

77
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:55,639
sure so no real no big deal with all that in place all that was really left

78
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,039
was the little picky detail work which ended up actually taking about as long

79
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:04,639
as the test fitting uh space ing of the motherboard and power supply had to be

80
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:08,840
tweaked to ensure that a dual slot card could be installed in the bottom PCI

81
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:14,080
slot on a 7 slot motherboard to give the system more expandability uh Teran

82
00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:19,000
remodeled our D5 pump to have the same EK top that I'll be using in the build

83
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,240
then adjusted the mounting foam for the pump to ensure that it would line up

84
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,319
perfectly with the outlet on the reservoir giving our Hardline tubing a

85
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,400
really clean look there the cable management holes were created in the

86
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,759
radiator mounting plate for the front rad and fence uh we added SSD mounting

87
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:41,440
on the side of the chassis because even though I'll be using a 1.2 TB 750 series

88
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,120
PCI Express SSD from Intel um and a as

89
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,599
for my main storage I mean who knows someone else may want to replicate this

90
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:53,000
project but use a normal SSD so we might as well build in that functionality and

91
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:55,800
then finally while this was basically

92
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:00,800
eyeballed Cable Management space was left to run the 8 Pin and 24 pin

93
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:05,960
motherboard connectors and PCI Express power cleanly along the bottom of the

94
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:10,560
chassis next to the motherboard and this is basically it what you're looking at

95
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,800
here my next case which will be hidden away in my closet where I actually don't

96
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,400
have to look at it but it will be able to be looked at it'll look pretty good

97
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:24,680
still and it'll deliver the same performance and functionality that it

98
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,479
would even if it was right next to me so

99
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:32,199
now it's time to submit this puppy to protocase along with technical drawings

100
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,879
of key components like radiators um who

101
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:38,360
is then going to mock it up and hopefully if all goes according to plan

102
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:42,440
fold up some steel screw it together powder coat that sucker and send it back

103
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:48,759
to me when you guys will get the next update I Can't Hardly

104
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:51,319
Wait and on that subject square space

105
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:57,960
yes square space the space that is square or rectangular or another sort of

106
00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:01,560
rectangular yes Squarespace is the online website building tool that lets
