00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:13,719
now as you guys already know if you're following me me me on Twitter at Linus I

2
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:18,960
am resurrecting the personal build project I have found the perfect

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:21,160
motherboard the GX 79s up5 zero coil

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,640
wine great look it'll match everything else that I got going on here really

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,800
well so my next step is to start making some cuts into the case for cable

6
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:32,200
management the reason I didn't want to move ahead with any cable management

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,879
holes before I had finalized a motherboard is because where would I cut

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,640
the holes if I don't know where the cables are going to be running and what kind of a board I'm going to be using so

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,440
I'm going to be cutting some cable management holes I'm going to be painting some things myself so things

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:49,039
like the outside of the optical drive I'm just going to be priming and

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,239
spraying with a textured black whereas the bulk of the case components I'm

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:58,519
going to be sending away to Mountain mods to be painted in Black once I have

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,920
made my necessary Cuts so it never hurts to give a metal surface a quick scuff

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,920
just to make sure that the uh primer will adhere so I'm not going for a

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:13,240
perfect finish on thiss so I won't be over complicating

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:18,159
things in terms of uh of the preparation process there we go make sure that's

17
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:24,079
working you always want to apply spray really really lightly like underdo it as

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,759
opposed to overdoing it this can be Rec in as little as about half an hour so

19
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I'm not not too concerned about getting perfect coverage no one will ever see

20
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,880
the top of the optical drive but I'm peeling the sticker off just for the sake of uh semi completeness here and

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,280
when you're done uh actually make sure you're always in a well ventilated area

22
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,759
when you're done with an aerosol always make sure you clean out the nozzle

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:51,520
before you're uh before you finish well those lines seem pretty straight trusty

24
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:57,159
Dremel never fails so got to do the CPU cutout I decided not to do any cutouts

25
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,439
for um you know ATX 24 pin or whatever

26
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:03,680
else I'm just going to bring them around like I used to and then I do want to do

27
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:05,759
a cutout here for routing various stuff

28
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,759
uh under the bottom of the motherboard same thing here and uh to the back of

29
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:17,080
the uh to the back of the back plate I'm also going to do a CPU cutout just so

30
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:20,400
that I can easily change CPU blocks and

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,400
yeah so here's a couple cuts having been

32
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,519
made with the Dremel for the CPU cutout

33
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,200
going to do two more of those and then I think the last cut is going to be down

34
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:37,560
here for the cable management and and we're making some progress here and more

35
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,440
progress so I have done the CPU cutout

36
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,560
that's some freehand dremeling right there actually pretty straight All

37
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:50,760
Things Considered should I have marked it yes but I didn't so there you go so

38
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:55,640
now there's see there's a door for the uh for the CPU cutout so uh that'll give

39
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,920
me the ability to close it off when I'm when I don't want act no I'm just

40
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,879
kidding I'm going to just take that off off there all right so there you go now

41
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:10,879
I will be able to easily install CPU coolers or remove them without any

42
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,599
difficulty um I'm also really not sure

43
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,840
what to do about this that looks kind of goofy with that uh little Gap there so I

44
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,159
might just take this all the way to the edge but I might just leave it I mean it's in the right position and sort of

45
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,760
the right size for the eight pin now all that's left is I want to do some Cuts

46
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:30,280
sort of along the bottom here so that I can uh run things like front panel

47
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:36,319
connectors and stuff like that behind the motherboard without without any

48
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:38,640
difficulty so more progress it's all

49
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:42,080
good all right so let's call that pretty much it for this personal rig update so

50
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:50,159
I've thrown the hardware back into the case just so that I can do a little bit of test fitting so uh number one is the

51
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:53,879
hole for the eight pin connector is good and I'll be able to run sort of fan

52
00:03:52,079 --> 00:03:56,280
wires through there and stuff and anywhere where I don't want to run fan

53
00:03:55,079 --> 00:03:59,959
wires through here if I want it to be even more hidden there's also a hole

54
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,400
drilled here I should widen that a little bit before I'm done actually I

55
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,760
can take these ones and those ones cathode lights um can have their wires

56
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:15,159
run through there so this yeah actually know what this might just be for uh for

57
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,519
the eight pin um so what else have we

58
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:20,400
got that's new other than that you're not going to be able to see many changes

59
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:27,199
from this side so you can see now I can run the um the SATA cables from my RAID

60
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,759
card to the back of the motherboard tray where all of the drives will go just

61
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:37,120
find my my one of my things are drives so the drives will go back here and then

62
00:04:34,919 --> 00:04:41,840
the uh SATA data cables will come through here from the back so I've cut

63
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:47,120
two more cable management holes this one's for like front USB or um front

64
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:52,080
panel connectors all that kind of stuff I was thinking about cutting one here

65
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,840
for SATA cables if I ever decide to plug the drives directly into the motherboard

66
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,160
but I decided not to so there's the you can see the motherboard cutout is lined

67
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,600
up correctly so I've got access to all four holes back here there's that

68
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:11,039
eight pin I decided against cutting holes over here for 24 pin and PCIe um

69
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:15,520
there's just I don't think there's any perfect way to do this so unfortunately

70
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,479
I am stuck with mounting the t- virus kind of here we'll just be kind of

71
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,680
hovering off the motherboard tray there and uh this is going to just go around

72
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:29,240
it and this is just going to go around it yes I know it's not ideal but I don't

73
00:05:25,479 --> 00:05:30,880
really see um a better way to do

74
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,000
everything at this point with how much Hardware I'm cramming in here I mean

75
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,560
remember this is going to be full of a radiator um I thought about doing a mid

76
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,199
plate here but just time and effort

77
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,479
constraints I'm not going to end up doing it so I'm just going to get the

78
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:49,120
whole thing powder coated once I've made all the cuts oh right more cuts that I

79
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:55,280
need to do so I need a way to get all these cables up past here past here cuz

80
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:00,120
the side panel closes right against this so I'm going to cut big holes here to

81
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,160
here so that I can move all my my cables up this way I'm going to widen this one

82
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:08,520
right here and that's going to give me two really good options actually you

83
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,199
know what I'll probably do I'll probably do something here as well three good

84
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,560
options to get cables from the back of the system down to the bottom of the

85
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,280
system without running them through the existing cable routing holes here so

86
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,680
that should pretty much fix my only complaint about the tj07 well no my two

87
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,880
only complaints cable Management's terrible and the uh the inter interior

88
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,880
should be black so once we get the cut and powder coated we should be good to

89
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,039
go thanks for checking out my personal rig update and stay tuned for more I'm

90
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:40,960
hoping to actually get this done within the calendar year I know I call it

91
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:47,120
personal rig update 2012 so so we're on the clock here if it runs into 2013 my

92
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,120
title will no longer be correct
