00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.120
this personal rig update is going to be a little different for starters I'm

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:14.120
filming right now obviously and yet my personal rig is about 20 minutes away by

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:16.400
car at my house on my desk so how can we

00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:23.800
update it well good question we are going to be doing something that we've

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:27.160
never done before we will be building a

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:30.000
case from scratch so come along with us

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

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.640
that we'll be sending to protoc case for

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:41.559
fabrication oh and if custom cases don't

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

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

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:56.119
that's going to be awesome

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:05.720
too the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:09.200
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:14.720
out the link in the video description to learn more so our adventure started in

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.880
the server room not because we couldn't look up the dimensions of a standard

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:21.759
rack mount chassis on the internet oh yeah for those of you who missed part

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

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:30.560
to control the scope of the project I

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.759
wanted to pick out a size that I figured I could move around fairly easily then

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.840
work backwards to see what kind of Hardware I could fit inside versus just

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:43.040
kind of coming up with the dream Hardware spec list and then ending up

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:48.200
with the Corsair 900d like what evidently happened to George so then it

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:53.479
was time to take those measurements to our 3D modeling program of choice

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:55.200
SketchUp and yes yes I know SketchUp is

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

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

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.320
video about learning a brand new 3D modeling software or whatever so we

00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:12.000
built out the outer walls making sure that our case would conform to the

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:16.560
standard width of a rack mounted case and to my length Target to keep the

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:21.200
overall size reasonable we're going with a 4u case so that takes care of the

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:26.560
height that's four standard rack mount height units tall because while a 3u

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:32.760
would accommodate full height expansion cards like graphics cards it would make

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:35.519
using all 120 mm fans in the design

00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:39.920
untenable and while the Acoustics of the system technically don't really matter

00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:44.959
with this project because I'll be moving the finished system outside of my office

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

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:54.959
custom n12 fans that we have noct to making in our LT color scheme so there

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:59.519
were a couple noteworthy things that were really cool about this project for

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:05.959
us the first was that we discovered just how How deep the library of PC component

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:12.560
models is in the online database and while some of them are not to scale for

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:18.080
some reason um others are both shockingly accurate and perfectly to

00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:22.680
scale allowing a custom rig maker to really test out his or her design before

00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:28.040
doing any of the really expensive prototyping steps it's really great for

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.239
working on PC projects like this I also

00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:35.239
discovered why most case designers probably learned to 3D model themselves

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:39.760
I swear Taran spent about a billion years fixing the coherency of the model

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

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:47.319
submitting this to someone else to fix up and ultimately manufacture they're

00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:52.360
going to deal with the picky details but he was like no it's

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:57.599
important so fine speaking of guidance I guess this is a good opportunity to show

00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.000
you guys why I did need Taran to help me

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.040
so this is the mockup that I origin submitted two protoc case when I was

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:11.480
pitching them the concept of an Enthusiast grade water cooled for you

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:13.799
case they were like H okay yes I see

00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:17.320
where you're going with this but could we get something a little

00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:23.080
more uh detailed but but but for all its faults

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:27.759
that original mockup did help us through the creation of the proper 3D model so

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:33.360
we determined after some fooling around with different fan models that we'd need

00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:38.080
to use 120 mm fans in the front because while 140 mm fans would fit there

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.840
wouldn't be enough clearance for the tanks at the ends of the radiator if we

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.919
wanted the middle fan centered in the front of the case something my OCD

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:49.080
simply required to happen and then using

00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:52.440
the tried and true method of folding it out of paper then handing it to someone

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:56.880
else to 3D model I showed Taran how I wanted the Second Bank of fans and

00:04:55.039 --> 00:05:02.720
second radiator to mount behind the first one uh between these two and the

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:08.560
potential final single 120 mm that gives me now a total of seven 120 mm radiator

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.160
spots uh plenty of cooling for the hardware I'll be putting inside the next

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.720
stage was figuring out how the rest of our components were going to fit in the

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

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:28.280
Reservoir setup with two pumps one for each which is more for redundancy in the

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.840
event of a pump failure than anything else after inserting a motherboard and

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:38.440
power supply we realized that in order to have our hard pipe tubing setup look

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

00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:45.960
look good we had to scale it back to a

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:51.039
single pump and Reservoir not what I was aiming for but a first world problem for

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

00:05:53.000 --> 00:06:00.039
was the little picky detail work which ended up actually taking about as long

00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:04.639
as the test fitting uh space ing of the motherboard and power supply had to be

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:08.840
tweaked to ensure that a dual slot card could be installed in the bottom PCI

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:14.080
slot on a 7 slot motherboard to give the system more expandability uh Teran

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

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:22.240
then adjusted the mounting foam for the pump to ensure that it would line up

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.319
perfectly with the outlet on the reservoir giving our Hardline tubing a

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:30.400
really clean look there the cable management holes were created in the

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.759
radiator mounting plate for the front rad and fence uh we added SSD mounting

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

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.120
PCI Express SSD from Intel um and a as

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.599
for my main storage I mean who knows someone else may want to replicate this

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:53.000
project but use a normal SSD so we might as well build in that functionality and

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.800
then finally while this was basically

00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:00.800
eyeballed Cable Management space was left to run the 8 Pin and 24 pin

00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:05.960
motherboard connectors and PCI Express power cleanly along the bottom of the

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:10.560
chassis next to the motherboard and this is basically it what you're looking at

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

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

00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.680
still and it'll deliver the same performance and functionality that it

00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:26.479
would even if it was right next to me so

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:32.199
now it's time to submit this puppy to protocase along with technical drawings

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.879
of key components like radiators um who

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:38.360
is then going to mock it up and hopefully if all goes according to plan

00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:42.440
fold up some steel screw it together powder coat that sucker and send it back

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:48.759
to me when you guys will get the next update I Can't Hardly

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:51.319
Wait and on that subject square space

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:57.960

00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:01.560
rectangular yes Squarespace is the online website building tool that lets
