1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,919
So the other day Jake was talking to annoying client and about, you know, what he wants his

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,519
PC to be like. And at some point in time, they decided that instead of being

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,559
in, you know, a normal PC case, this would be a build that would take us, you

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,199
know, a day, maybe three, they want a pyramid PC case. So we're going to have

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,720
to custom make it using, you know, steel tubing just like this one right here.

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:27,119
This should be the last of the supplies that we need for this build right here.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,840
But holy crap, do we have a lot of to do. It's what 2:30 on a Monday and by

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,880
Friday we want for the frame to be built, the parts to be ordered and like

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,079
a test fit to be totally complete. So, let's take a look at what we've got

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,440
going on over here. So, I just mocked this up. This is basically what we're

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,960
thinking. We need, you know, probably three GPUs. There's only one in here

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,800
right now, but that's fine. You get the basic idea of what I'm going for. This

13
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,559
is going to be tricky to bend. And along all of the outside, there's going to be

14
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,559
Illuminati stuff, I guess. Let's get started.

15
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:12,000
In about 15 minutes or so, we're not going to be able to change any of this.

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:16,400
We're going to start cutting and welding and so on. So, if there's any thoughts

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,280
that you have, now is the time to, you know, speak.

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:24,640
How big is the base? Base is 26 in.

19
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:26,640
26 in. Can I have a measuring ruler?

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,920
measuring ruler. That's still pretty big, isn't it?

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,680
Yep. Do you think the client's going to be okay with that?

22
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:39,680
I think he's going to have to be. He asked for a pyramid, and this is about as small as a pyramid can get. Like, if

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,320
you look at this here, there are a lot of spaces, but not a lot of space that

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,119
you can put useful things. Like, we're losing so much space just kind of like

25
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:52,560
down in here because it's a triangle. It's a dumb shape.

26
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:57,280
Well, the customer is always right. Yep. He asked for this. We're going to

27
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,640
give it to him for better or for worse. There are really three things that you

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,960
need for a good weld to happen. So, the first is just wellprepared parts. So,

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,800
these right here I've, you know, ground and cut and also wiped with isopropyl

30
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:13,200
alcohol. So, they should be nice and clean. You also need the knowledge of

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:19,360
how to weld. So, I took a couple welding classes several years ago. But three,

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,440
maybe the biggest one is practice, which I don't have. I did a tiny bit of

33
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,200
practice here yesterday. Some of them turned out good, some of them did not. I

34
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:31,360
haven't really touched a TIG welder in like three, four years. I guess this is

35
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,360
the practice that we're going to get here. Whatever. Can all be solved with a

36
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:41,120
bit of persuasion, probably some angle grinding. It's not going to be fun for

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,280
me, but at the same time, we just got to

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,280
do it.

39
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:49,840
When you're welding, you're basically just melting two pieces of metal. And if

40
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:55,440
that molten metal gets exposed to the air, really bad things happen. So, a

41
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:57,360
pretty good example of that is here. I

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:03,360
still had some good old shielding gas. We're using argon. And this weld looks

43
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:05,680
fine. Come over here when it started

44
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:11,040
running out. Doesn't look quite as good. Overall

45
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:17,519
though, it's starting to come together. All that we have to do are make the bits

46
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:21,200
that go, you know, from here up to here.

47
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,400
So, what we have to do for that is use

48
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,800
the cobra miter daddy.

49
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,959
Basically, the miter daddy is just this, you know, nice piece of CNC. I believe

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,200
it's aluminum that you're able to chuck up in the mill and then set it at kind

51
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:41,040
of whatever angle you want. Then you have your piece of stock. Just goes in

52
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:44,480
here like so. You tighten that down and then you take your hole saw, which I

53
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,599
actually haven't even taken out of the package yet. Drill down to give yourself

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,159
whatever angle you want. The angles that we need to hit for this

55
00:03:52,159 --> 00:04:00,239
all to go together is like half a complex one, which is where the good old

56
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:04,080
angle cube is just incredible. So, you

57
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,799
see it's totally level here on the vice.

58
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:12,400
And then we're able to take that, set the

59
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,319
angle in this plane. It's supposed to be

60
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:21,040
26.4. So, come on. It's not quite there.

61
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Good enough for now. And then in the other way, it needs to be 42°.

62
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:32,720
So, that's right about right about there. Now, with those two angles,

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,840
after we tighten it down in 3D, this should be in the correct spot.

64
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,840
Let's not look too closely at the welds here, but you know, the whole things

65
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:53,840
together. I imagine even if they're not the prettiest, they're going to be

66
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,600
pretty strong. And I think I learned a lot about welding them. There's kind of

67
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:02,960
like a you can see here where there's just a lot of weld. I sort of blew a

68
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,000
hole through it. And then in stitching it back together, I feel like I really

69
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,199
learned how to TIG weld pretty well. So here's the basic frame, but we need to

70
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:15,199
be able to put like the motherboard and the power supply and everything in it.

71
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:18,639
And normally I would do that sort of thing out of aluminum, but I'm concerned

72
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,039
like one about corrosion with just it touching the steel, and two, we need to

73
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:27,759
ship it somewhere and it might just pull out. I've seen horrific things happen to

74
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,919
PCs and shipping. So, we're going to try and use steel. You want to come over

75
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:36,560
here, Andy? Been running a couple little tests on the good old router here with

76
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:40,479
cutting steel. And I think I've come up with some pretty successful settings.

77
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,199
So, let's try and cut some steel on the router. It's a bit more tricky than you

78
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,240
might expect because although there are a lot of calculators out there, they're

79
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,120
normally based off of something, you know, kind of like the big old Bridgeport here where the limiting

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,680
factor isn't the rigidity of the machine, but just simply, you know, the

81
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,440
power of the motor and how much metal it can mow through. That said, this has

82
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:04,560
been quite successful. I like my test cuts that I have here. And I don't know,

83
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:10,380
let's cut out some back panels, motherboard panels, and everything.

84
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Heat

85
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,520
up

86
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,680
here.

87
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,440
So the power supply and motherboard mounting panel is cut and in. And the

88
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:52,800
original plan was to have these supports that went up to this like crossmember

89
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:55,440
attached to that and then attached to

90
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:59,599
the power supply support. But I just don't really like how it looks. So

91
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,720
instead, I'm thinking that it can come in here and kind of exist flush to the

92
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,520
support. The only problem is that it looks like it might interfere with where

93
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:17,360
the power supply is going to be. So, we're going to have to test that out and

94
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:19,039
see if it actually fits in. Oh man,

95
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,400
I should have just not showed anyone this and said this was the plan from the

96
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:26,319
beginning. Oh, this is going to be totally fine. Heaps of space for the

97
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:33,680
motherboard. And you're probably wondering right now, uh, GPUs can't go

98
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:38,720
here because power supply, but that's because we have these wonderful PCIe

99
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,919
extenders from Camino. So, you probably saw them in the Camino RM video that we

100
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:50,560
have, but they look like this. This is the end that the GPU will be on. And on

101
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:55,840
the other side, we have just this little

102
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,840
guy here. So that slots in just like so.

103
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:04,879
And then our data is carried over these cables here. So the plan is for our GPUs

104
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:11,680
to be mounted right up here on the same plane as this

105
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:17,199
like panel that's going to be here. And we'll cut a nice big hole in it so that

106
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,199
you can see all three of them just in

107
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:24,960
all of their glory. to support them. I stole this PCIe bracket from an InWin

108
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:30,240
case. It came with two of them. I'm not sure why, but makes my life way easier.

109
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:33,360
So, you'll be able to put four GPUs right in there. We'll only have three,

110
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,680
but like upgrading is cool. I think it's going to be sweet for this to not look

111
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,880
dumb. A really crucial part is that the GPUs have to be at the correct angle. I

112
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:47,360
could grab it from Solid Works, but who knows what exactly it is. So, we're just

113
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:54,880
going to come in here. got this wonderful angle finder thing. I absolutely love these things. And it is

114
00:08:52,320 --> 00:09:00,000
50.25° or 52.5°.

115
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,120
Hey, Lis, do you want to see a computer? Oh, I'd love to.

116
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:08,399
So, this is what we have so far. This is actually not bad. Yeah,

117
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,360
given the uh initial plans that I saw,

118
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:15,040
this greatly exceeds my expectations. Yeah, I was kind of concerned that it

119
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:19,120
would just be garbage if I'm honest. The only thing is the GPUs need to go in and

120
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,360
we have a bit of a problem. They need to be like placed correctly.

121
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,560
So if you kind of look here, um we have conveniently two plates here.

122
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:31,519
Uhhuh. So that you can easily access them cuz it's going to be just an absolute pain

123
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,720
if you couldn't do that. So they're going to be going in something like this. And it needs to be

124
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:42,560
positioned something like that. The only problem is I can't weld this in and make

125
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:46,640
sure it looks correct at at the same time. Oh, so you brought me for that? Yeah.

126
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:51,839
Okay. So, what we're looking at here is a Threadripper 32 core processor,

127
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:57,920
probably 256 gigs of RAM because the client is insane. Uh, he has no need for

128
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:01,120
it whatsoever, but you can't talk reason with him, you know. He just wants to

129
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:07,360
flex, right? So, we're going to have either 1500 or probably a 1500 watt CIC,

130
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,920
right? That one. Yep. Okay. So, the GPUs

131
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:15,120
are all going to be like sitting here in the pyramid and basically we're going to

132
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,920
have like an Illuminati eye here in the

133
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,040
front and there's going to be like that's going to

134
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:28,399
be like a window and it's going to look onto four quadro GPUs because again the

135
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:33,200
client has an unlimited budget and you can't talk sense into them. So, the

136
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,760
customer is always right except when they're wrong and you just have to do

137
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,519
what they say anyway, right? Yeah. I was thinking like we originally

138
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,360
said we were going to do three, I think, cuz it just makes more sense.

139
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,920
Yeah. Cuz then you can do NVL link and then

140
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:50,000
like a Quadro 4 display, which is ridiculous, but at least kind of makes sense, but I

141
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,160
think it's going to look so much better if you have four of them. Like just the

142
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,839
window and four GPUs right there. So, am I just eyeballing this or what?

143
00:10:56,079 --> 00:11:02,000
Well, one one second here. One second here, Mr. Lionus. So, first of all, do

144
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,399
you think this is fine? Right now, I have it mounted in three spots, like for

145
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,000
the motherboard. We can pretty easily add in some stuff out here. It's

146
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:15,680
probably not necessary. I don't think it's necessary. By the time you put a motherboard on it, that

147
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,240
will also serve to add extra rigidity. I really don't think it's a problem.

148
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,519
Yeah. And like this is thick. Yeah, I think it's fine. Are the panels

149
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,760
actually going to go on here? The plan is to just stand it off like an

150
00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:29,279
inch or so. Mhm. So, there's going to be a gap along

151
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:33,680
each side. Then, we have a steel mesh that goes

152
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:41,120
along here. You sort of tack weld that on and then super glue some magnets to

153
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:41,600
it. So, you put like the side panel on.

154
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,680
Mhm. It has the gap that for one is going to look cool and allow for air flow and

155
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:50,079
also allow for us to just ignore that this is not square.

156
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Yeah. And then you have the sweet mesh below it and it's going to be great.

157
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,360
So, we just pull a Tesla. We're like, "Yeah, the gap is a feature." Yeah.

158
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:03,440
Okay. So, now we need those in here.

159
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:06,240
Oh, this is awesome. Oh my god, that

160
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:12,920
seems terrible. The key to a good weld is making sure that you have a good

161
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,920
position. This is This is not

162
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,360
All right. Do you want to come look at the alignment? You didn't even check it before we went.

163
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:23,519
It's probably fine. What do you think? Yeah, seems good to me.

164
00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:27,600
Cuz we've got enough. I kind of checked. I made sure this line was parallel with

165
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,839
this one. And then here, there's enough clearance for them to pop out if we

166
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,560
really need to. Yep. I think it's okay. Actually, with this

167
00:12:32,959 --> 00:12:40,160
tacked in place, we've actually got a pretty good look at what the finished system is going to look like in terms of

168
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,040
the internal layout. So, I think we're going to get away with adding one more

169
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:48,079
fan here. So, we're going to have a total of eight fans. The whole frame is

170
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:50,399
going to be on feet here. So, these fans are going to be able to suck air up

171
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,720
through filters. Yeah. Through filters. Uh, so we're going to

172
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:59,040
have filtered intakes coming in on the bottom and then passive exhaust out

173
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:05,519
these vents that are going to go down the uh the corners of our pyramid. And

174
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:08,160
then for the uh cooler, we were going to

175
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:10,959
use that thermosiphon prototype, right? Yeah. Now that I'm looking at it here,

176
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,800
uh, looks a little ky. I don't think it's going to fit.

177
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:20,240
Yeah, we might end up with something else. So, okay, we're going to have some kind of cooler over here. And then

178
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,680
graphics is here. And because storage is going to be just M.2s on the

179
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,040
motherboard, you don't actually have to account for any additional storage. I

180
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:32,959
mean, really, it's just the only reason this is going to take up a two foot by

181
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:37,760
twoft space on this person's desk is

182
00:13:32,959 --> 00:13:39,519
because they want a pyramid computer.

183
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:43,040
Oh, that's the table, not the computer, right? Yeah, the table's really not square.

184
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,639
It's actually pretty good. If you guys are enjoying this build so

185
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:50,560
far, maybe you'll enjoy I don't know. Should we throw it to one of our sleeper PCs? Sure.

186
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,720
Yeah, sure. Actually, let us go to the playlist. Play playlist of sleeper PCs.

187
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:58,160
Yeah, they're sick. And get subscribed. It's Alex's Jank Engineering at its

188
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:02,560
finest. Yeah, the workshop's going away for

189
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,880
construction in a week, so part two will be very soon. Actually, yeah, we have to get part two

190
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:11,480
done or we will never get it done. And then our client will be very sorely

191
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,480
disappointed.
