WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.279
why build a creeper pc in absolute

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:09.200
secrecy well here's the thing we heard celebrity

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.120
pc builds were the new hotness but we didn't want to fall into the classic

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:19.359
trap where you promise someone something really cool and then you take a freaking

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.119
year to deliver it so anyway pewdiepie

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.800
started playing minecraft again so we're gonna build a cake lighter i don't know

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:29.920
three or four months ago back when we initially conceptualized this so we were

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:33.120
like heck yeah let's do the greatest

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.120
creeper pc build that's ever been done

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.719
but then now we're finally finishing it and then the word on the street is he's

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:42.000
quitting youtube but then he says he's not quitting youtube but then the last

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.840
time he uploaded a minecraft video was like three weeks ago you know what

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.960
doesn't matter who cares we're building the creeper pc the docos v9 speakers on

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:54.640
alibaba feature rotating ear cups that double as a speaker they've got their

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.960
march expo 2020 happening right now which features more than 300 000 new and

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:06.819
exciting products so go check them out at the link in the video description

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.840
so let's go through how we made it starting with the hardest part which is

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:21.759
the case the skeleton was designed in fusion 360 over a span of about a month

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.400
with a couple of main design goals one was we wanted there to be enough cooling

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:31.680
for top spec hardware i mean the last thing you want to do is send someone

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:37.759
a cool custom pc that ends up being a downgrade from what they're currently

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:39.840
running and we also wanted no cheating

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:44.400
compromises to the creeper look we weren't going to allow ourselves to like

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:48.399
oh well you know we need to extend this leg in order to get a bigger graphics

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.360
card or something like that so i started with a rough concept for what i wanted

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:58.880
the creeper pc to look like and once i figured out scale by taking the form

00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.719
factor of an matx motherboard and plugging in into fusion 360 and just

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:06.399
scaling a creeper shape around it then i could

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.520
start building the actual frame from aluminum extrusion so

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:15.920
after i had the actual frame built and scaled properly then i can

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:21.200
skin it put all the components in it and pray it all fits together

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.280
as a bonus goal we wanted the head to

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:28.400
pop off like kind of like a you know like boom you know explosion moment with

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:31.840
the press of a button which i actually have right here

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:36.400
um but i can't do right now because as you can see it's not yet tilt

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.720
this head was by far the hardest part of this entire build it went through like

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:45.680
three design changes so how it works now is there's two solenoid latches that are

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:50.480
like for gate latches that clip into little tabs that i tig welded into the

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:54.239
bottom of the creeper head so these guys you can just come down and they'll pop

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.239
right into place like so

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.760
and now it's latched and active so

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.640
once we give it power off comes the head initially it didn't

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.920
have enough support the head is just a little bit too heavy so yeah

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.200
the first time i tested it oh we have footage of this actually

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.200
the head pops off and it just goes

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:21.760
it flops all the way down we can't have a flaccid creeper no no plastic creepers

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.200
so there's limiting straps that i installed

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:28.879
on each corner to keep it just floating just so and without it

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:32.480
falling off of the support axis in the center it was also really challenging

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:37.200
getting the strength of the spring just right because that jack-in-the-box

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.319
effect requires you to get it balanced just

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:44.640
right i think you nailed it go me

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.879
so this is it we just start building now right yeah so for our power supply we

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:54.080
actually didn't end up going with a full-sized atx unit even though we

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.599
possibly could have um i guess this saves us a little bit of

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.120
space where we could have mounted a hard drive in the front in emergency but

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.360
other than that is there any rationale behind the 800 watt silverstone sfxl no

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.000
it's just a really nice little dense power supply

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:13.680
it's easier to fit so mounting for this pretty straightforward we've got some

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.680
double-sided tape on the bottom here but that's not actually what holds it

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:22.400
together what actually holds it in place is this bracket on the back here which

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:26.720
is a bent piece of sheet aluminum and this looks like it was quite the finicky

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.840
little piece to get right well thankfully i didn't have to make it

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:36.720
ah our friends at protocase friends of protocase it's good to have friends in

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:39.840
uh fabrication places sure is so do i get to do most of the building

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:42.560
you've already built it so it's really important we get this

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:48.560
first little drop right because once that tape goes down it's

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.000
not coming off a little lower there it is it's really

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:57.040
nice working with pretty case on stuff like this too just because they specialize in pc stuff so you don't have

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.360
to explain to them things like you know why the spacing needs to be

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.919
just so on a power supply mount yeah i actually use their template designer

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.479
which is really neat it has cutouts for most of

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:12.000
the stuff i used here being able to just draw in a motherboard and have all the

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:16.160
holes be in the right space was fantastic push that down power supply is

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.440
in i think you're supposed to hold this tape for about 30 seconds

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:23.360
GPU we can do it so

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.639
how the GPU is mounted is we have a little bracket i machined yep we have

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:31.919
cable mod to thank for these cables see

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.759
how flat those are oh okay it fits to

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:37.840
within an eighth of an inch wow that's really tight okay so how does this go in

00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:42.320
here this just goes under there and that sandwiches it down and that's it that's

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.320
it that's it before we tighten it yep it's best now to do the power supply

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.240
cables so got it we will punch these guys hold on a second we better do this

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:51.240
peel too

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.400
that's a really unsatisfying peel this is a really cool looking card though so

00:05:56.479 --> 00:06:02.160
it's got a triple slot cooler we weren't sure how much airflow we were going to

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:05.919
be able to get into this bottom foot so it was all about making sure that our

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:11.520
card has a really really good cooler on it but this is an rtx 2080 ti so

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:16.160
basically as good as it gets for minecraft with rtx let me give you a

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:20.319
good angle on it here and then i can just drop it right into place lovely

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:24.160
basically this is the spot and i can crank it down now then right yep if

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:30.639
that's the only thing holding it in place i do i am actually a little bit worried

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:35.919
we might uh i've seen things in shipping that would make your blood

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:39.919
curl curdle blood curdle hair curl if we put like a u-shaped foam piece at the

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:45.120
back i'd feel a ton better and just glued that in vibrations and drops so

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:48.720
a lot of this mass there's a lot of leverage here yeah and it can actually

00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:52.479
rip the pci plate right off the card i've seen it you've seen that i've seen

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:57.680
it i've seen pci express slots ripped off motherboards oh god and the pci

00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.960
plate ripped off fs and chat just just you know shipping to alberta from here

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.440
how difficult would it be for us to fabricate a hold down strap for this as

00:07:03.039 --> 00:07:09.039
well it's it's taped it's not going anywhere

00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:13.759
you'd have to be really trying to have that dislodge i have seen power supplies

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:18.720
ripped out of like standard cases like the screws sheared off in shipping

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.560
and banging around inside them i love tape as much as the next person but it's

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.800
good because this whole thing is held together with tape think about it a little all right mom we might just have

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:31.599
to put it on a pallet yeah i would not box this okay no way

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.919
all right so that's in we can put the heart in so which way does it go on

00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:39.360
standoffs here okay and then four standoffs for the other

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:42.720
side oh fantastic so is this motherboard tray custom yes

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.919
wow did protocase make that for us as well i designed it protocase cut that

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.720
that's actually steel so it's a little bit more rigid nice that's a good call

00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:55.039
so in terms of the hardware we're using we're running a maximus 7 gene so we

00:07:52.960 --> 00:08:00.639
went with matx so that we could have a little bit more expandability it's only

00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:02.319
got a single pci express 16 out slot but

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.720
if you wanted to add 10 gigabit networking or whatever else down the

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:12.560
line we've got another 4x slot up here it's got basically everything you could

00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:14.479
want built in on board ac wi-fi usb 3 uh

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.199
you know type c blah blah blah et cetera et cetera and

00:08:15.919 --> 00:08:24.080
more importantly because we're not putting a hard drive in this it's got a ton of m.2 expansion so we've got a two

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:29.440
terabyte mp600 in here we've got room for another one here and then this thing

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:36.320
collins holding this is their latest dim.2 goes in here and holds another two

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:38.880
m.2 drives so that should be that should

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:43.440
be enough plenty of storage yep those are some big old screws so we went

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:47.040
pretty basic in terms of cooling i'm not expecting him to overclock or anything

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:52.320
like that and given that we're running a 9900k a single 120 millimeter aio with a

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:58.080
replacement fan we went with a knock to a fan we want the whole system to be nice and quiet seemed like a pretty good

00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:02.080
bet now i'm sure there are many many of you that are going to be like

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.040
he edits video he does this why didn't you go AMD

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:08.959
the answer is that we started planning this project like four months ago

00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:15.120
yeah AMD didn't have anything that was top tier for gaming at that time what do you

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.240
want from us um which way do you like the two so i

00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:24.399
have the tubes sticking out just like that like that way ah yeah that should

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.880
work so what's really cool about having the cooling configured this way with our

00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:33.440
thick rad and our 120 millimeter fan actually pulling air and then blowing it

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.040
out this way is that the exhaust comes out around the head

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:41.680
so it's nice and dispersed there's not going to be like a hot zone near the

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:43.600
computer and the intake for this fan is

00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:48.959
going to be drawing fresh air from the bottom over the m.2 the dim slots the

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:53.120
vrms and all that stuff so it's going to stay nice and cool and it's not just

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.240
this fan there are actually two 80 millimeter fans

00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:59.200
that are going to be pushing air up from the center crotch cooling

00:09:58.160 --> 00:10:05.680
tm so this was one of our challenges

00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:07.200
right now felix has 64 gigs of RAM in

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:10.320
his system according to the information we were able to find we didn't talk to

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.920
him about this because we wanted to be a surprise now this board in spite of being matx

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:21.600
only has two memory slots because it takes up so much room for all these m.2s

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:27.680
so we ended up needing to use these special trident z dc series memory

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.200
modules so these are basically like two

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:36.560
sticks in one so each of these is 32 gigs for a total

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:39.200
of 64 gigs of ddr4 3200 cl 14. that

00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:41.839
should be plenty for our Intel platform um how much is one of those sticks

00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:47.920
around fifteen hundred dollars ish not for one for two and of course

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:53.920
they're RGB completely hidden this panel is going to be held on by magnets so we actually

00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:57.839
can't have anything pressing on it there we go so you can see the crotch is more

00:10:56.160 --> 00:11:02.160
than just cooling there's actually room for cable cutouts and pci express and

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:06.880
stuff like that to run in between them so that you don't really see it

00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:10.079
but it's i mean it it has to run there and there was no way to be true to the

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:14.320
shape of the creeper without having a little bit of cheating

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:18.720
in between here so that'll go in probably last yep if we want to post it

00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:22.880
we can just plug it all in and make sure it functions we can verify that the head

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.800
ejects i ran all these runs with string before i ordered the cables okay there's

00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:30.399
got to be an easier way than that not that i've found so this is the head

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:34.000
ejection system so what we have here is a remote relay

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:39.920
these are really cheap i think it was like eight dollars um runs on four to twelve volts but

00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:44.160
one of the problems i encountered with the solenoid system here is that when

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:47.839
the spring force is pushing up on the latches here there's so much spring

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:51.920
force that you can't actually eject the head

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:55.760
right yeah so what we have here is we have 12 volt

00:11:54.160 --> 00:12:00.800
then being sent into a boost converter which ups this to like 18 and a half ish

00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:04.079
volts and then that trip that overvolts these solenoids and enough enough and it

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:08.959
works okay plugging in the power supply and bumped

00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:16.000
your auntie this thing's freaking heavy dude and i don't even have the panels on

00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:16.000
watching you lift my project scares me

00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:21.600
and lights hey well

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.800
oh are we do we have a monitor or anything oh yeah i can pull one over all

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:31.600
the keystones yeah we've got like one

00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:31.600
two three unnecessary connections

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:39.839
all good just had a cable and a fan there ah that click by the way was the

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.399
solenoids getting power

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.240
you can do the honors

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:55.920
and we're posted with all 64 gigs of RAM very nice

00:12:53.600 --> 00:13:00.000
okay so we have no more components to put in it so we want to deal with

00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:03.920
installing all of the buttons and stuff in our panels sure

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:07.440
and then the panels go on we vinyled over all these mounting holes for the

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.360
rear i o so this is our power and this is going to be DisplayPort but i'm

00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:16.720
going to need to just make a little little hole that's really tight with the

00:13:13.839 --> 00:13:20.560
vinyl in there okay need a nut

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:25.519
that is how finished it's going to look from the outside love that that looks

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:28.639
great so this is this one then that's correct yep we're definitely going to

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:34.480
need to adjust the position of the motherboard a little bit then so we're going to move it up with the main

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:39.360
fasteners on both the rails and then over will be with the pcb fasteners yeah

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.600
so let's do the vertical adjustment first sure which is you can just do that

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:47.519
with a rubber mallet right actually yeah percussive maintenance

00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:50.160
send it no really no bad Linus

00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:57.600
oh you know what what are we running into here i think we're running into i need

00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.000
to uh tap it

00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:05.680
nope it doesn't make sense this should just slide they're like locking

00:14:03.920 --> 00:14:09.279
themselves yep okay we want to come down about an

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:15.120
eighth of an inch that's bang on tap it i might have found

00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:17.279
one other small oversight uh this nut

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:21.519
interferes with this oof that seems you know rimmel fixable well

00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:24.160
not your dome that was bound to happen notch it out

00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:32.560
under normal circumstances you would never

00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:35.920
grind metal creating metal fragments inside a computer that's already built

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:39.600
but we feel like we've got everything masked off well enough uh yeah it's got

00:14:38.079 --> 00:14:42.000
to come up a little higher i can see it from here

00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:47.839
did i get it a little more a little more yeah i see it yeah

00:14:45.839 --> 00:14:51.120
actually a lot of the build was like this um

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:55.600
you put everything in place and you can design as as much as you can in cad but

00:14:53.839 --> 00:15:01.440
when it all goes together sometimes parts aren't the same size as what the

00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:05.360
cat drawing is or any number of things

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:09.839
we got it this time yeah it's flush okay awesome i know that i know you want the

00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:15.360
finish to be similar i can sleep soundly tonight now so port power rear i o

00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:20.079
done i think we're actually ready we're really close yeah we just start peeling

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:23.920
panels and sticking them on holy smokes well not before we put the pci express

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:30.160
connector back in uh-huh we should do any final cable management okay

00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:35.279
well the lich pin in this whole shebang is this middle panel okay so the cut out

00:15:33.199 --> 00:15:38.480
side here fits over should we do that first

00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:42.399
i want to we got to just fit before we take off the adhesive though okay so 24

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:48.399
8 and two PCIe i'm just worried about

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:50.240
cable length they'll be fine honestly

00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:56.560
all right i have done every surface on my side here i'm just gonna finish this

00:15:52.959 --> 00:15:58.639
side this vhb tape is like super lit

00:15:56.560 --> 00:16:02.000
sticky so we don't want to be pulling things off once we've applied it because

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:05.199
we could end up bending it what's that it's a razor for pulling the vhp tape

00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:10.720
off oh so this side is the pci side

00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:14.800
snuck that LTT logo in there we have a little bit of a cut out that is

00:16:12.800 --> 00:16:19.600
totally planned and not done after the fact yeah to give a little bit of

00:16:16.880 --> 00:16:24.240
clearance for the ribbon cable that 120 millimeter fan is going to take care of

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:27.360
intake for our graphics card which does it have an exhaust or is it just

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:31.680
pacifica so all the exhaust comes out the foot at the bottom so they're

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:35.519
elevated up on these little bumpers okay perfect yep oh i didn't take the

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:38.480
adhesive backing off oh i got it oh no you got it oh there's one's up at the

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.000
very top okay all right yep everything's clear

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:49.600
up ribbon cables a little stressed but okay

00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:54.160
oh yeah yeah it's quite contacted yeah well should we just bend it yep that

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:57.920
one's on for better or for worse just little tiny bit more

00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:03.279
oh i'm good everything's fine

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:07.120
so that's on there this way these cables can't come loose and stick into the fan

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:11.360
or anything nasty like that that would be a real pain to diagnose and fix

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.120
all right shall we line up the other side i think we should just stick it and then

00:17:13.439 --> 00:17:19.679
run the cables um sure yep okay you do bottom i'll do

00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:23.039
top well okay

00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:26.799
oh i think that's a lot better than last time we should have done that last time that's like perfect we're living we're

00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:31.679
learning that actually looks pretty darn sharp

00:17:29.919 --> 00:17:34.960
and it's worth noting i haven't seen it with all the panels on it either

00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:40.480
that's just bubble wrap popping

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:44.240
nice okay that looks pretty clean because the 24 pin covers everything

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.200
else now yep what do you get a guy like pewdiepie for christmas someone asked me

00:17:45.919 --> 00:17:52.240
on twitter it's like what do people buy you for christmas and i said socks

00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:55.760
i actually truly the greatest gift well the fans on the bottom are hooked up

00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:59.919
they're both into a single header that should have easy software control okay

00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:04.559
do you want to come back on this side and stick on the head ejection system

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:11.760
here we go this is a sick build thanks

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.760
do you still sell those yes we sure do

00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:19.200
lttstore.com can i actually get another one of those ltcstore.com

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:23.130
lc2store.com i noticed that the power

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:24.799
supply isn't plugged in yet oh no

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:30.160
if we grab the belt sander

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:35.120
let's see if our shaven power connector looked nice that went no

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:38.000
problem so that's plugged in now i mean do you want to do that one for wait oh

00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.880
so we didn't do it right

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:45.280
we did not i don't know if i shaved it enough to fit through here

00:18:43.760 --> 00:18:48.880
or there we are professionals

00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:53.039
oh so i wanted it as far away from the pci express extender as i could get it

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:56.880
oh you think power like the frequency will i don't know for sure

00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.640
gotcha but what i know is that i don't feel like dealing with it if that is a

00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:05.039
problem me neither here also i'll line up the bottom again and you line up the

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:07.760
top okay okay i think that's as good as we're

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:14.240
gonna get wow what should we do next Linus

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:16.080
um why don't we close up the feet i have

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:19.360
a image of a creeper because i want to make sure we get the panels on in the

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:23.760
correct orientation so you want to get the actual

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:26.400
like pixels pixels in the correct spots oh we're going for accuracy here all

00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:32.640
right all right all right uh the dark corner

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:34.160
goes towards the side yep yep now seems

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:38.799
like a good moment to shout out protocase with their fantastic high

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:42.480
precision laser cutting they actually made all these panels for

00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:46.799
us before we had them sent off to the vinyl wrapping shop this head is a piece

00:19:45.760 --> 00:19:53.679
of art it's all aluminum and it's welded sharp

00:19:50.840 --> 00:19:56.880
edges and you can't weld it too fast otherwise it'll just melt so they're

00:19:55.039 --> 00:20:00.960
like slowly dabbing we'll we'll put in some footage of this

00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:04.080
it's incredible is that going on you better believe it these are

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:08.320
different yeah we don't have pieces why is the left different from the right one

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:14.080
small error all right so i'll just put it on randomly then yep okay oh no

00:20:11.840 --> 00:20:17.919
that's too far off okay that's gonna happen a lot all right i'm calling that

00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:22.240
good enough i'm sorry if it's not good enough okay so what's the foot is that

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:26.160
the foot that is the foot so we still end up with about a millimeter of gap on

00:20:23.919 --> 00:20:29.679
my side i can take a little more yeah i think we we're gonna have to live with

00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:33.600
that yep like that looks pretty darn good all right should we put a big panel

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:37.360
on wait no this isn't the same this is the front

00:20:35.679 --> 00:20:42.400
that's the back minor problem we put double-sided tape

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:48.240
on the front piece and magnetic strips on the back piece

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:50.159
just gotta take all this off are those

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:55.440
really no good anymore yeah the adhesives toast okay and that's

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:58.240
uh it's literally on there okay go ahead okay

00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:04.400
those cables will never be seen ever again bye-bye cables great so we've now got

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.919
magnets on the back of this panel yep but this is an aluminum chassis so but

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:12.159
it's aluminum i've made

00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:15.919
four neodymium magnet stacks and i've counter-bored half-inch holes which fit

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:20.720
these so we just give this little tap and we'll deform the aluminum around

00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:24.720
the magnet and it'll hold it in place oh okay

00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:29.640
hey nice that is quite flush sir

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.159
and then you're going to want to do probably six or eight all around the periphery

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.280
and it's dead

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.120
can't make it worse

00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:50.400
all right are you doing that by hand

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:52.960
oh it's a spring-loaded thing you're not

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:55.760
doing it by hand poop and boop

00:21:54.320 --> 00:21:59.760
all right so now we put the front on then yeah oh wow yeah nailed it feel the

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:04.960
edge it's done oh wait it's not done

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.960
you should have done this earlier wait no this is no problem because we thought

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:12.480
of this oh gorgeous

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:16.640
monitor keyboard mouse mode keyboard mouse let's do it this thing seriously

00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:20.799
does look like just a computer graphic brought to

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:26.120
life like it's crazy

00:22:22.159 --> 00:22:26.120
uh should i power it on

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:35.360
he even told me it might happen because i was busy with something else

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:39.840
i'm so happy with how well that head retains itself like getting it to latch

00:22:37.760 --> 00:22:43.919
and release every time perfectly literally took four days

00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:47.200
hey if you were him

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:50.960
do you leave it down so that you can like do this on a whim or do you leave

00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:54.640
it up so you can just oh no i totally leave it up you leave it up we gotta let

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:59.039
game on this thing start for the micro see if it actually works yeah worst case

00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:04.880
scenario head down head down yeah so i'm gonna hit the GPU with the MSI combustor

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:04.880
built in stress test

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:14.960
and i'm gonna hit the CPU with a blender classroom render excellent so we are

00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:17.600
turboing to 4.7 gigahertz all cores

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:22.559
our CPU is sitting at anywhere from 80 mid to 90 low remember this is under an

00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:29.520
all core load while stressing both the CPU and GPU our GPU is sitting pretty

00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:33.520
darn healthy actually around 62 63 degrees i think it's safe to call that a

00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:37.039
success i mean we're going to want to leave this run for a little bit make

00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:40.559
sure that it actually holds at these temps but

00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.880
it seems like it's actually doing a perfectly good job of getting rid of the

00:23:42.320 --> 00:23:49.559
heat yeah great job colin

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.559
white

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:59.440
really does just look like a like a like a piece of video game just

00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:05.360
sitting on your desk doesn't it uh what just happened it turned off

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:10.080
i was trying to uh troll james i was asking how it looks up close and uh

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:13.200
i tried to trigger the head while it was under load uh

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:18.240
oh current spike current spike

00:24:15.679 --> 00:24:22.400
how power hungry is that it's pulling like

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:25.279
four amps at 12 volts so like

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:30.320
48 watts it's only 50 watts it's an 800 watt power supply maybe don't stress

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:30.320
test it and hit the button

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:38.080
i mean that's kind of funny okay we might have to live with this

00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:41.840
particular little design flaw it's a feature let me see if it happens again

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:44.840
let me see what happens again full stress

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:54.799
pack it and send it i think the odds of that happening are

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:58.840
pretty slim yes i have my job for another day oh oh

00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:04.960
66 chance so then outside of a couple minor

00:25:02.080 --> 00:25:04.960
finishing touches

00:25:05.520 --> 00:25:12.159
it's done it's playing minecraft

00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:16.720
it looks like minecraft and it may not be the world's first

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.600
creeper pc but you know what i think it's the best

00:25:18.320 --> 00:25:23.360
one so come at me bro i hope you guys enjoyed

00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:27.679
this video if you like this kind of hacky projecty type stuff you might want

00:25:25.679 --> 00:25:32.080
to also check out our series on the hack pro

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:33.679
the mac pro hackintosh competitor to
