00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.240
thank you to Logitech and Discord for sending us to PA East 2016 this year if

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.400
you want to see all of their different products and services check them out in the video description down below all

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:16.279
right guys we are not at a booth per se this is the byoc section packs in

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:20.880
Seattle packs in Boston packs in Texas packs in Australia all of them have like

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:24.480
a lan area there's the Lan free play section there's the console free play

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.800
section and there's the byc section which stands for bring your own computer

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:33.440
it's actually really cool I've been doing it for a little while now with some of my friends and Pax Seattle this

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.559
is the first time I have done PAX East and what we're going to check out is the

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.640
top three modded computers of the byoc section and they're pretty sick we're

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:44.640
going to start off with a system that is close to my heart I love fish tank

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:48.160
systems my like claim to fame in terms of building computers was in a fish tank

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.359
system because I feel that with oil this one is done in a different way but

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:56.079
equally as cool in my opinion so this system was built by polish you can see

00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:59.680
his name in the front bottom right hand corner and is not filled with oil is not

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:05.479
actually filled with any liquid at all EX except for the little smaller inner

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:10.200
tank area which houses his fish which is named Alpha the beta which is like super

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:15.119
great I absolutely love that in terms of Hardware he has the Intel Core 2 Duo

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:18.720
anniversary edition a 960 which is reference blower cooled so that it can

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:22.720
get the air out of the fish tank so it doesn't just fish around on the inside

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.560
pun intended he's got fish rocks all over the place which actually helps him

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:30.400
hide his cables which is super smart I wish I did that with my rig it's a

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:35.200
really good idea also on the bottom left hand side under the rock behind the

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:37.320
Polish badge is a hard drive and below

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.560
that is where he hides his SSD amongst the rocks on the bottom in and outside

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.520
of the fish containing area he has little fake fish plants and the whole

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:49.240
thing just looks aesthetically awesome in terms of lighting he has two cathode

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.640
lights in the top which are actually hidden behind the black plastic band

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:57.840
among the outside which is a really cool way to do that and it's kind of hidden

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.000
under the top of the lid as well all of the I/O goes out of the top which is

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:05.840
probably prob what you would expect from a fish tank build and I just absolutely

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:09.160
love it easily one of my favorite mods I've ever seen and then you have how

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:13.000
it's put together so for my fish tank build which you can see up here or for

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.760
the one that we did for work way later on which you can also see up here we

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.879
used like uh laser cut plexiglass panels

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:24.720
what he did was actually a much more effective way in my opinion to be

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.160
completely honest he just Velcro on one of those kind of Bitcoin mining

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.640
motherboard trays that people were building for quite a while there that I

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.760
think you can get from highs speeed PC I don't know where he got his and then

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:39.159
yeah he just velcroed it on in terms of his motherboard to keep it in place he used a little angle bracket on the

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.879
bottom and then another little bit of Velcro on the top just to hold it in

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:47.680
smart effective cheap next up we actually have two computers as kind of

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:53.000
one feature that I'm going to cover here these were both built by a guy whose tag

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.599
is IM root or at IM root he had that

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.200
name before the Guardians of the Galaxy movie Just so you know the first one

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:04.319
we're going to cover is the one that looks like a red iMac this one was built

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.319
for his son it has an I3 in it a 750 Ti

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.599
an SSD and a 500 GB hard drive what's

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:14.720
really cool about both of these rigs is how they look very much like old IMAX

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.200
even including the fact that their front loading optical drive Bays still work

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.080
it's not actually the original Mac one it's an aftermarket optical drive bay

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:26.879
but it still works and it looks completely authentic which is super cool

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.319
he did it in a stack formation so there's a power supply on the bottom and

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:33.920
then a motherboard above that which is held up by some ready rod and then

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:38.439
everything just kind of sits there quite nicely in the back of the iMac in the

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:44.439
front he has LCD panels that he bought on eBay so these were bare LCD 1080p

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:46.680
panels that are 13.3 in he then used a

00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:52.760
little custom PCB that he also bought on eBay which was shipped from China which

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:56.040
converts HDMI to lvds it's a converter

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:58.400
that costs $35 it takes 12vt in and then

00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:05.319
is wired directly into the PSU for the 12vt rail and then just yeah you plug in

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:06.959
LCD lvds on one end take HDMI o to the

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.879
other end and you're good to go in order to hold the screens in place he created

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:14.959
what looks like a plexiglass sandwich so he has clear plexiglass on the front and

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:18.880
then colored plexiglass on the back behind the panel which matches the color

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:22.079
of the iMac so the red one has red the purple one has purple I think this is

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.440
super cool I love that he did it this year for his son and daughter in the

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:29.600
past he's done builds for himself and like a briefcase and one of them was in

00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:33.800
like a super old radio and one of them was was in a long board super cool I

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.000
love guys that do rigs every year what he does because that sounds very

00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:42.600
expensive is he just reuses the internal hardware and buil a custom case around

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:47.440
it very good idea next up is the Minecraft creeper build made by 8bit

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:52.400
Builder or also known as thorcon t h o r KO n and check out his YouTube channel

00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:53.960
which is youtube.com/ thorcon this build

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.759
is sick I'm going to get to him in a moment but the hardware in it is an I3

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.759
4170 that's an azrock h97m ITX

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.919
motherboard a Samsung 750 series SSD as

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:09.880
far as I can tell and an sfx power supply the button on the side is a TNT

00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:13.880
block which is sick all of these little individual blocks are actual small

00:05:12.039 --> 00:05:17.880
individual blocks not just carved out of one piece of wood which is actually

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.319
pretty fantastic and some of them are translucent meaning that you can kind of

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.759
see some light coming through them so we have some white and some green ones that

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:28.960
have illumination all throughout the case I guess we can call it for now or

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.520
the creeper also up through the middle is where a lot of the air flow comes

00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:36.000
from so there's fans up here that pull air down from the bottom there's a fan

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.960
that pushes air out the back and there's another big fan that can keeps it going

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:43.600
up through the top of the computer so this thing has no lack of air flow at

00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:50.199
all how do you go about building these you told me you built a bunch in the past too I just use uh 2,000 I use I use

00:05:48.039 --> 00:05:54.199
a 1in cubes about they're all wooden usually 2 to 3,000 depending on the case

00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:58.280
and I usually actually plan it out I build it out in Minecraft actually and

00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:01.280
then um I take a time lapse of building the whole thing up and then and so I

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:06.000
usually make a video of just building the whole thing from nothing to everything painting everything so so

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.800
like architectural planning is all done in Minecraft yeah you know a lot of

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.880
people are like oh you know you could get in some you know heavier editing

00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:16.280
programs to do stuff that's like ah you know I started with Minecraft it gets

00:06:15.039 --> 00:06:20.680
the job done I'm not doing anything crazy it it works pretty good you know some red lines for when I'm running the

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.080
electric you know where the electric goes everything and most of the computer

00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:27.759
parts are all like almost inches anyway so it's pretty perfect it works pretty

00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:32.160
good so what's your what's your favorite one of these that you've built um man my

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.919
favorite actually I think is the Airship uh I built a final fantasy Airship from

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:39.800
uh Final Fantasy 2 has spinning propellers uh and that's that's probably

00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:42.759
that's my favorite one it's that one's pretty sweet that's sick and can people

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.680
check out that build on your YouTube channel yeah that's definitely that one's on my YouTube channel they're all

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:50.160
on my YouTube channel this one's not up yet but it'll be up very soon if someone

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:55.080
wanted to get into doing something like this what would you how would you recommend they start I'm actually for

00:06:52.919 --> 00:06:58.240
this one I actually have I've made a video I'm making a video series I

00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:01.280
recorded everything about each step of building this so I'm actually a little

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:04.319
video series going on how to actually make one of these on your own and it's

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.199
actually very simple you don't need any you just need wood glue and cubes and

00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:11.479
very basic tools you know power tools really I built I built my first one in

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.759
an efficiency apartment no problem that's awesome and how do you go about

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:20.919
Distributing lighting all throughout the case for all the individual like translucent panels all right so these

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:25.560
all all these plastic cubes um I probably have about there's probably

00:07:22.599 --> 00:07:30.080
about 50 on here I I have about a 12in cathod tube on each leg one in the body

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:32.800
and then one in the head uh usually I like to have some kind of lighting

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.120
effect because all computer mods have some kind of lighting going on so for

00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:40.160
this one I decided to go with one inch cubes with uh some Frost fat to get the

00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:44.039
light spread out but they're about 2 in L they're 2in long cubes so when the

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:49.960
lights going through the inside it hits the side of the cube and it just spres right down through the side and that's

00:07:48.039 --> 00:07:53.479
about it that's awesome all right guys thanks for watching if you want to see
