WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.519 PC to be like. And at some point in time, they decided that instead of being 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 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 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.720 to custom make it using, you know, steel tubing just like this one right here. 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.119 This should be the last of the supplies that we need for this build right here. 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 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.880 Friday we want for the frame to be built, the parts to be ordered and like 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 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.440 going on over here. So, I just mocked this up. This is basically what we're 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.960 thinking. We need, you know, probably three GPUs. There's only one in here 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 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 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.559 Illuminati stuff, I guess. Let's get started. 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. 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 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.280 that you have, now is the time to, you know, speak. 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:24.640 How big is the base? Base is 26 in. 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.640 26 in. Can I have a measuring ruler? 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.920 measuring ruler. That's still pretty big, isn't it? 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.680 Yep. Do you think the client's going to be okay with that? 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 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 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.119 you can put useful things. Like, we're losing so much space just kind of like 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.560 down in here because it's a triangle. It's a dumb shape. 00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:57.280 Well, the customer is always right. Yep. He asked for this. We're going to 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.640 give it to him for better or for worse. There are really three things that you 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.960 need for a good weld to happen. So, the first is just wellprepared parts. So, 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.800 these right here I've, you know, ground and cut and also wiped with isopropyl 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:13.200 alcohol. So, they should be nice and clean. You also need the knowledge of 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:19.360 how to weld. So, I took a couple welding classes several years ago. But three, 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 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.200 practice here yesterday. Some of them turned out good, some of them did not. I 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:31.360 haven't really touched a TIG welder in like three, four years. I guess this is 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.360 the practice that we're going to get here. Whatever. Can all be solved with a 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:41.120 bit of persuasion, probably some angle grinding. It's not going to be fun for 00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:44.280 me, but at the same time, we just got to 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.280 do it. 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.840 When you're welding, you're basically just melting two pieces of metal. And if 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:55.440 that molten metal gets exposed to the air, really bad things happen. So, a 00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:57.360 pretty good example of that is here. I 00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:03.360 still had some good old shielding gas. We're using argon. And this weld looks 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.680 fine. Come over here when it started 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:11.040 running out. Doesn't look quite as good. Overall 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 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:21.200 that go, you know, from here up to here. 00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:24.400 So, what we have to do for that is use 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:26.800 the cobra miter daddy. 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.959 Basically, the miter daddy is just this, you know, nice piece of CNC. I believe 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 00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:41.040 of whatever angle you want. Then you have your piece of stock. Just goes in 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.480 here like so. You tighten that down and then you take your hole saw, which I 00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:49.599 actually haven't even taken out of the package yet. Drill down to give yourself 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:54.159 whatever angle you want. The angles that we need to hit for this 00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.239 all to go together is like half a complex one, which is where the good old 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:04.080 angle cube is just incredible. So, you 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.799 see it's totally level here on the vice. 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:12.400 And then we're able to take that, set the 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:14.319 angle in this plane. It's supposed to be 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:21.040 26.4. So, come on. It's not quite there. 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:26.320 Good enough for now. And then in the other way, it needs to be 42°. 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:32.720 So, that's right about right about there. Now, with those two angles, 00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:36.840 after we tighten it down in 3D, this should be in the correct spot. 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.840 Let's not look too closely at the welds here, but you know, the whole things 00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:53.840 together. I imagine even if they're not the prettiest, they're going to be 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:57.600 pretty strong. And I think I learned a lot about welding them. There's kind of 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 00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:08.000 hole through it. And then in stitching it back together, I feel like I really 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 00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:15.199 be able to put like the motherboard and the power supply and everything in it. 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.639 And normally I would do that sort of thing out of aluminum, but I'm concerned 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.039 like one about corrosion with just it touching the steel, and two, we need to 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.759 ship it somewhere and it might just pull out. I've seen horrific things happen to 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 00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:36.560 here, Andy? Been running a couple little tests on the good old router here with 00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:40.479 cutting steel. And I think I've come up with some pretty successful settings. 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 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:46.240 might expect because although there are a lot of calculators out there, they're 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 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.680 factor isn't the rigidity of the machine, but just simply, you know, the 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.440 power of the motor and how much metal it can mow through. That said, this has 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, 00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:10.380 let's cut out some back panels, motherboard panels, and everything. 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:25.520 Heat 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:31.520 up 00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:36.680 here. 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:45.440 So the power supply and motherboard mounting panel is cut and in. And the 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:52.800 original plan was to have these supports that went up to this like crossmember 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.440 attached to that and then attached to 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:59.599 the power supply support. But I just don't really like how it looks. So 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 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:11.520 support. The only problem is that it looks like it might interfere with where 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 00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:19.039 see if it actually fits in. Oh man, 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:22.400 I should have just not showed anyone this and said this was the plan from the 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.319 beginning. Oh, this is going to be totally fine. Heaps of space for the 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:33.680 motherboard. And you're probably wondering right now, uh, GPUs can't go 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:38.720 here because power supply, but that's because we have these wonderful PCIe 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:43.919 extenders from Camino. So, you probably saw them in the Camino RM video that we 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 00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:55.840 the other side, we have just this little 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:57.840 guy here. So that slots in just like so. 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 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:11.680 to be mounted right up here on the same plane as this 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 00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:19.199 you can see all three of them just in 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:24.960 all of their glory. to support them. I stole this PCIe bracket from an InWin 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. 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, 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 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 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 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 00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:00.000 50.25° or 52.5°. 00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:03.120 Hey, Lis, do you want to see a computer? Oh, I'd love to. 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:08.399 So, this is what we have so far. This is actually not bad. Yeah, 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.360 given the uh initial plans that I saw, 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:15.040 this greatly exceeds my expectations. Yeah, I was kind of concerned that it 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 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:23.360 we have a bit of a problem. They need to be like placed correctly. 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:26.560 So if you kind of look here, um we have conveniently two plates here. 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 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 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:42.560 positioned something like that. The only problem is I can't weld this in and make 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. 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:51.839 Okay. So, what we're looking at here is a Threadripper 32 core processor, 00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:57.920 probably 256 gigs of RAM because the client is insane. Uh, he has no need for 00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:01.120 it whatsoever, but you can't talk reason with him, you know. He just wants to 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:07.360 flex, right? So, we're going to have either 1500 or probably a 1500 watt CIC, 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:09.920 right? That one. Yep. Okay. So, the GPUs 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 00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:17.920 have like an Illuminati eye here in the 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:21.040 front and there's going to be like that's going to 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 00:10:25.839 --> 00:10:33.200 client has an unlimited budget and you can't talk sense into them. So, the 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.760 customer is always right except when they're wrong and you just have to do 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.519 what they say anyway, right? Yeah. I was thinking like we originally 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.360 said we were going to do three, I think, cuz it just makes more sense. 00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:45.920 Yeah. Cuz then you can do NVL link and then 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 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 00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:57.839 window and four GPUs right there. So, am I just eyeballing this or what? 00:10:56.079 --> 00:11:02.000 Well, one one second here. One second here, Mr. Lionus. So, first of all, do 00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:06.399 you think this is fine? Right now, I have it mounted in three spots, like for 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:10.000 the motherboard. We can pretty easily add in some stuff out here. It's 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 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.240 will also serve to add extra rigidity. I really don't think it's a problem. 00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:21.519 Yeah. And like this is thick. Yeah, I think it's fine. Are the panels 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:25.760 actually going to go on here? The plan is to just stand it off like an 00:11:24.959 --> 00:11:29.279 inch or so. Mhm. So, there's going to be a gap along 00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:33.680 each side. Then, we have a steel mesh that goes 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:41.120 along here. You sort of tack weld that on and then super glue some magnets to 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.600 it. So, you put like the side panel on. 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 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.079 also allow for us to just ignore that this is not square. 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. 00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:57.360 So, we just pull a Tesla. We're like, "Yeah, the gap is a feature." Yeah. 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:03.440 Okay. So, now we need those in here. 00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:06.240 Oh, this is awesome. Oh my god, that 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:12.920 seems terrible. The key to a good weld is making sure that you have a good 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.920 position. This is This is not 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. 00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:23.519 It's probably fine. What do you think? Yeah, seems good to me. 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 00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:29.839 this one. And then here, there's enough clearance for them to pop out if we 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:34.560 really need to. Yep. I think it's okay. Actually, with this 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 00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:43.040 the internal layout. So, I think we're going to get away with adding one more 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 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 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.720 through filters. Yeah. Through filters. Uh, so we're going to 00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:59.040 have filtered intakes coming in on the bottom and then passive exhaust out 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:05.519 these vents that are going to go down the uh the corners of our pyramid. And 00:13:01.839 --> 00:13:08.160 then for the uh cooler, we were going to 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:10.959 use that thermosiphon prototype, right? Yeah. Now that I'm looking at it here, 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.800 uh, looks a little ky. I don't think it's going to fit. 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 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.680 graphics is here. And because storage is going to be just M.2s on the 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.040 motherboard, you don't actually have to account for any additional storage. I 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 00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:37.760 twoft space on this person's desk is 00:13:32.959 --> 00:13:39.519 because they want a pyramid computer. 00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:43.040 Oh, that's the table, not the computer, right? Yeah, the table's really not square. 00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:46.639 It's actually pretty good. If you guys are enjoying this build so 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. 00:13:49.040 --> 00:13:52.720 Yeah, sure. Actually, let us go to the playlist. Play playlist of sleeper PCs. 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.160 Yeah, they're sick. And get subscribed. It's Alex's Jank Engineering at its 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:02.560 finest. Yeah, the workshop's going away for 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 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:11.480 done or we will never get it done. And then our client will be very sorely 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.480 disappointed.
