have you ever found yourself walking through a B Auto Show thinking gee if
only I could plasty dip every part of my
computer like these modernday picassos
have done to their cars but would all my stuff even work anymore and what about
cooling well if that's ever happened to
you we've got the answers
Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
at once check it out now at the link in the video
description so to bring our idea for the
funkiest PC ever to fruition we decided
early on that halfway wasn't going to be
far enough we resolved to plasty dip our
entire fire machine outside and in even
critical system components like the motherboard video card and CPU heat sink
understandably we were a little concerned that while Plasti Dip seems to
be a rubberized type of coating and is
therefore hopefully completely non-conductive it's not a feature that
they explicitly advertise so the chances
that this kind of a treatment could kill the PC whether by gumming up the
electrical contacts or causing a short
seemed pretty high thankfully though our
friends over at the local electronics refurbishing and recycling Mega Store
free geek came to the rescue hooking us up with a fairly respectable if several
Generations old machine that if it survives will actually be able to rock
some pretty modern games along with its new style so the first thing we did was
to validate that free geek's donor Hardware was in proper working order and
that the coolers were keeping our system cool enough to avoid any thermal
throttling then we rolled out to Canadian Tire and dropped
250 of wait what
$250 did you guys even try to contact Plasti Dip to see if they'd sponsor it
we did and why do you think we bought it
oh all right then $250 so to make sure then that the
motherboard wasn't harmed any more than it was already going to be we borrowed
some dust covers from an ASUS Sabertooth board to fill our PCI Express SATA RAM
and IO ports wherever possible and filled in the gaps with some tape much
taping later we were ready to go to town with the hot pink which oh right we were
ready to go to town laying down found the initial white coat that's required
for optimal coverage no big deal I mean
engineering is pretty much trial and error that's what that means right
moving on for the power supply we couldn't just blast paid into it and
hope for the best we wouldn't get very good coverage that way so we needed to
tape it off on the inside we took it apart making sure that we didn't get
shocked by the very questionable PSU
that we picked out of the door stop B at freeek and then to make our task easier
not less stupid we hung what we could off of saw horses and got to painting
enjoy this psychedelic montage
so then at this point the internals were all done up with a unicorn Ada rainbow
didn't sit well and our PC got in the line of fire aesthetic and the case's
clean black canvas look was completed
but one thing was still missing the side panel really needed a sweet design to
put a cherry on top of this build we were originally thinking some sweet ass
flames and Ed made us a stencil to cut out but it was way too complicated and
Ed has shockingly poor taste in Flames so we decided instead that a cactus
would be not only cooler but also and perhaps most importantly it would be
much easier and wow goodness gracious
that is possibly the funkiest most Cosmic cactus that I have ever seen time
to slap everything together then and then ourselves
it ended up looking even more Funtastic than we could have possibly hoped but
does the machine still work I mean that
is the point of this can you do this at home and it does from a certain point of
view we got Windows installed and fired
up Ida 64 to see how it was Fairing and
oh wow just installing programs at
around 20% load on our CPU landed us at
90 plus de C on the processor and Under
full load we thermal throttled at a
tropical 100° C but I mean this is kind
of what we were expecting we could have easily not painted the
heat sink and it would probably have been fine but that wasn't really the
point of the build the point was to find out if plasti dipping your computer
hardware will kill it and the answer is
maybe because our success doesn't
guarantee
yours Synergy is an easy software
download that solves once and for all
the problem of having two keyboards and
two mice on your desk if you have multiple PCS because it lets you share
one Mouse and one keyboard between two or more computers seamlessly so you'll
no longer confuse which one goes with
which and they even allow Advanced features like clipboard sharing between
the computers being able to drag and drop files between the computers the
ability to set up hotkeys and support for multiple operating systems Windows
Mac even Linux they've got basic and pro
options and you can use our Link in the video description to get 50% off Synergy
