00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,380
In the automotive world, a sleeper is typically a slow car, like say a Toyota Cressida,

2
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:10,060
that has been modified to be insanely fast.

3
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:12,000
And there's another key element.

4
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:18,520
The best sleepers, like this one from Mighty Car Mods, feature no external modification.

5
00:00:18,980 --> 00:00:24,500
So potential challengers would have no way of knowing that it's capable of chopping them to shreds,

6
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:27,620
eating aforementioned shreds, then pooping them out.

7
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:37,020
So, inspired by this concept, we grabbed the nastiest, oldest, your-great-uncle-is-still-using-it-for-some-reason case

8
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:42,120
that we could find and vowed to make it Smash Games once more.

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,060
Meet Hubert.

10
00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:49,400
Plain name, plain looks, plain performance.

11
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:52,810
You know, that kind of plain.

12
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,820
Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard

13
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:04,480
between mouse and keyboard.

14
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,460
And multiple computers at once.

15
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:09,220
Check it out now at the link in the video description.

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,320
So first, we needed a case.

17
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:16,460
And our good friends over at FreeGeek hooked us up with this.

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,040
An Antec SX840, which back in the day was pretty dope.

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,300
But after almost 15 years of filth collection,

20
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:29,100
well, let's just say it was perfect.

21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,580
Opening it up, though, the insides actually could have been a lot worse, all things considered.

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,780
I wonder if this thing has even been opened since shortly after it passed QC back in 2003.

23
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:43,820
I really hate that that's a long time ago now.

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Anyway, next order of business was a plan to pack it full of as much power and water cooling as we could.

25
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,440
And because Alex can't resist an opportunity to fire up that copy of SolidWorks that they gave us for just such occasions,

26
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,600
we created a model of the case and started virtually test fitting our components.

27
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,280
Radiator in the bottom with vent holes?

28
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,140
Hmm. Well, that could fit, but then we'd be stuck with a single graphics card.

29
00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:13,720
Unacceptable.

30
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,420
So we settled then on a thick triple radiator in the front.

31
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:20,280
This might seem slightly overkill,

32
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:27,420
but these new Core i9 processors run hot as hell when overclocked and we wanted to be able to push this baby as

33
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,120
far as possible.

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,020
Time to head down to the workshop.

35
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:34,440
We pulled the drives, then spent about the next half an hour

36
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,700
drilling out rivets with our trusty bottle of rapid tap.

37
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,800
Ah, that's better.

38
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,340
I mean, who needs ancient mechanical drives when you can have more room for cooling?

39
00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:49,880
Time for a test fit then before we make any irreversible modifications.

40
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,040
Our pump reservoir position was the trickiest to figure out.

41
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,360
At first we wanted it to go in the bottom,

42
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,840
but because of the PCIe slot positioning on our ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe, we couldn't make that work.

43
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,240
There is some room up top, but that would make filling the system more difficult without putting in a fill port in the top and ruining our

44
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:13,860
beautiful sleeper aesthetic.

45
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,380
So finally, we came up with an idea.

46
00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:19,380
Maybe we could mount it to the fans.

47
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:26,160
I mean, sure, that's not the greatest for airflow, and it means that we'll have to be darn careful while drilling into them,

48
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,800
but it might be just crazy enough to work.

49
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,800
How to mount the radiator though?

50
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,800
Holes in the front of the case would be the most obvious solution.

51
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,100
But stealing the top radiator mount from a Mastercase Pro 5 would save us some time,

52
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,940
so we flattened it out a bit and...

53
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:43,080
Ah shoot.

54
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,160
It's still about a half an inch too thick.

55
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,820
Not a problem though.

56
00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:50,980
It's angle grinder man to the rescue.

57
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:55,000
So with the cuts tidied up, it did still interfere slightly with the motherboard tray rivet,

58
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,850
so out those came with the drill,

59
00:03:57,850 --> 00:04:02,250
and these holes here should serve us well for mounting the radiator.

60
00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:03,230
Of course though, our troubles kept coming.

61
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:03,530
Of course though, our troubles kept coming.

62
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:03,930
Of course though, our troubles kept coming.

63
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:10,090
Weren't finished and we were still having some difficulty getting it in due to these pesky tabs

64
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:16,890
Thankfully almost every problem in life can be solved with abrasives much better to line up the screw holes

65
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:22,290
We poked the drill through the existing holes and gave it a little spin just to remove some of the paint

66
00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:27,530
So we knew where to drill next we center punched where the screws would be and drilled on through

67
00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:33,150
We then poor man's tapped the mount with some thumb screws and a lot of love

68
00:04:33,150 --> 00:04:35,150
And holy crap

69
00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:37,730
This might actually work

70
00:04:37,910 --> 00:04:44,260
Now since the reservoir can't go anywhere else we had to make some modifications to this poor fan

71
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,820
So we started small then worked our way up to the thick objects. That's always the best way

72
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:58,180
Okay, then awesome the reservoirs mounted, but clearly we'll need more airflow angle grinder to the rescue again

73
00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:02,500
And as though like magic, that's more like it

74
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,200
So with hopefully all of our modifications to the case finished

75
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,660
It was time to finish it off with a nice coat of black paint

76
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:36,840
so at this point we were ready to slap all the parts in plan out our water cooling loop and

77
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:39,460
Call it a day, but then

78
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:42,500
Shortly after the cameras turned off for the night

79
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:49,080
Getting jiggy with it came on the radio and we realized the soft tubing weed planned

80
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:51,700
wasn't big Willy style

81
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:54,640
So we flipped the script and flip the rad

82
00:05:55,220 --> 00:06:02,260
Extended the res and devised a plan for a loop sexy and hard enough for even the biggest Willy's

83
00:06:02,980 --> 00:06:10,360
Mmm, so instructions for hardline then measure cut fill heat

84
00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:12,320
bend

85
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,620
check

86
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:14,880
insert

87
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,880
secure rinse

88
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:21,880
And repeat until done boom custom hardline water cooling

89
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,000
Easy as that

90
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,080
After several hours of cable management man old cases suck for that. We were ready for the final touch-ups

91
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,460
So we disassembled the loop installed the storage RAM

92
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:42,480
80-millimeter og case fans which only got cleaned on the inside to maintain our sleepers perfect external filth and then

93
00:06:42,780 --> 00:06:45,540
Reassembled the loop and filled it up

94
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,920
so then at this point

95
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,360
We put back together the outside of the case

96
00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:58,060
front panel goes on a

97
00:06:58,060 --> 00:07:03,700
on with double side taped CD and floppy drives the side panels go back on and

98
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:10,720
would you look at that it's still awful and dirty on the outside leaving anyone

99
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,260
without a very keen eye to dismiss it as old crap but open it up and holy frig is

100
00:07:17,260 --> 00:07:24,160
it beautiful and with the horses to back it up with an Intel Core i9 7900 X 10

101
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:32,080
core 64 gigs of RAM RGB of course dual GeForce GTX 1080s a Samsung 940 pro SSD

102
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,260
in a fully custom water cooling loop we are looking at a machine that can run

103
00:07:36,260 --> 00:07:41,660
with pretty much anything out there today while staying both cool and quiet

104
00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:49,220
that is if you disable the rear fans because they're really really loud ow so

105
00:07:49,220 --> 00:07:54,120
bask in the glory now of Hubert and stay tuned for Dale because the

106
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,400
sleeping

107
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:11,420
is far from over so if you're a game developer or a video editor or you you

108
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:17,420
use both Linux and Windows one for serious work and one for gaming whatever

109
00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:22,960
the reason is that you have two computers synergy solves once and for

110
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,400
all the problem of needing to have two keyboards and two mice to go with them

111
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,480
because it allows you to share your peripherals between multiple computers

112
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,340
computers so you won't get confused anymore they have a basic and a pro

113
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:41,780
option for synergy with a one-time payment for features that include copy

114
00:08:41,780 --> 00:08:45,920
and pasting between the computers dragging and dropping files between

115
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,780
computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more and the best part is that

116
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:57,140
synergy works cross-platform between Windows Mac and even Linux so check out
