1
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:16,480
I've made a few more decisions oh sorry I guess I'll preface this by saying this

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,880
will be another uh another small update

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:25,679
about my personal rig upgrade that's going on here so one of the things that

4
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:29,320
I've decided is that I am going

5
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:32,320
to rep powder coat the internals of the

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,079
case so I found a place uh locally that

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,920
will strip off all the Old Powder Coating uh in a chemical bath they need

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:45,200
it for a few days uh it's going to cost about 60 bucks they figure and then I'm

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,719
going to send the internals back down to

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:52,120
uh Mountain mods as well as the optical

11
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:56,000
drive and especially the pieces that I

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,879
missed last time like this one so that

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,719
the whole inside will be uniform and black in instead of having some parts of

14
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:09,439
it uh still left with the natural aluminum color hold on a

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:15,159
second this is one of the reasons to buy a high-end Case by the way guys as you

16
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:20,119
can see I've now stripped it down

17
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:23,720
to just the unibody chassis or the

18
00:01:20,119 --> 00:01:26,200
unibody frame and uh you can pull out

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:31,799
all of the drive cages uh there's actually more pieces over

20
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,920
here the support braces for the back you

21
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:39,439
can pull out the motherboard mounts the mid plate so all of these are going to

22
00:01:36,759 --> 00:01:43,680
be uh stripped down and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a bit of

23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:48,240
a a trial run build of the machine to see if there's any more cable management

24
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,479
that I need to add for myself so uh one of the things that I mentioned before is

25
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:55,600
I thought I might need a bigger Gap back here in order to run more cables up to

26
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:00,399
the back of the motherboard tray so I might do that uh one of the other things

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:04,680
I might do is build myself in some better options in terms of running water

28
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,440
cooling through the mid plate because right now these holes don't really line

29
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:14,280
up perfectly with uh with what I'm trying to do

30
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,720
so uh that's one thing I'll consider I

31
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:21,280
still haven't figured out a way to address the uh the problem with this

32
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,200
this hole right here but also haven't really decided if I'm going to do that

33
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:30,680
uh one of the things that I'll probably do is cut out a

34
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,920
CPU um

35
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,440
whatever they're called uh motherboard

36
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,440
Trace CPU cutout here so that I can more easily swap out CPU coolers I mean the

37
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:46,360
cooler I'm going to be using the Apple ghd there is uh is a fairly easy to

38
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,760
mount one because there's no aftermarket back plate it just uses the stock LGA

39
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:54,120
2011 back plate but I mean you never know what's going to happen in the

40
00:02:51,920 --> 00:03:00,879
future and I don't necessarily want to rep powder coat my case um every oh oh

41
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:03,360
hey don't eat the screw hey come on

42
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,400
come on come on there do you have it in your

43
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,080
mouth there it is okay I don't necessarily want to rep powder coat the

44
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:16,040
case every time I do a new build so that's uh that would be my reasoning for

45
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,200
for just making sure I do everything right this time hopefully I don't have

46
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,959
to do it next time

47
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,760
um yeah the place the place that's stripping off the powder coating also

48
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:31,640
does plating so I'm thinking about poten

49
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:38,000
eventually depending on what the cost is going to be like um there's a couple

50
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:43,360
there's a couple options so one option would

51
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,640
be uh gold plating the copperhead blocks

52
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,040
so that they can sit on top of the uh the copperhead RAM so I've got two of

53
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:55,040
these but then I really not sure if I want to do that and then the other thing

54
00:03:52,720 --> 00:04:00,000
is that you can actually strip the nickel plating off this guy and then

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,360
gold plate it instead but one of my concerns about that is they said that

56
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:10,319
when you're stripping the nickel plating off it will actually attack the copper

57
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:12,879
as well and so uh when they then plate

58
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:16,199
the gold back on there might be some imperfections in the finish so am I

59
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,519
better off with something that doesn't match but is finished perfectly or am I

60
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:25,720
better off with something that matches but isn't finished perfectly I don't

61
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,240
know so I think that's pretty much it

62
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:33,479
for the update right now I still haven't really made a made a solid decision

63
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:37,160
about what I want to do with the outer chassis uh whether I want to get it

64
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,479
painted because this part is still pretty perfect but the side panels are

65
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,600
in rough shape um there's a we use for

66
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:48,919
the uh the Vesta special edition systems painting those uh they do a really good

67
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,720
job and they're not that expensive so uh you could get some kind of automotive

68
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,639
paint finish going on on here maybe some color change paint or something I

69
00:04:54,039 --> 00:05:00,919
haven't decided how crazy I want to go yet on this

70
00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:04,479
um okay actually I think we're we're pretty much wrapped up here here's one

71
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:07,440
of the last pieces of the case so pretty much all the pieces of the case are down

72
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:12,600
here now I'm just going to take these fans off and then uh this is not going

73
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:16,960
into Mountain mod so it's only these middle pieces so I got to take these in

74
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:20,600
get them stripped first including these which means I'm going to do these black

75
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:25,080
wrinkles so they'll at least match the inside of the case and

76
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:30,039
uh yeah every once in a while when I'm

77
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:37,600
working on a build I um I find something that obviously I know how to do but

78
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,199
um I I have no idea how I did this like

79
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,360
look look at this so so this bracket the way it works is you got your metal

80
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:50,160
pieces folded here here here here and here and uh I've used rubber noise

81
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,240
isolating mounts to mount these fans in

82
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,199
here but I don't know how I got these in

83
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,199
here and how I'm going to get them out this is

84
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:03,759
ridiculous so um the reason I even care is because I I'm

85
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,880
going to get this black wrinkle powder coated as well just to match the uh the

86
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:12,160
grills in the front they won't be the same kind of mesh but at least they'll

87
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:16,840
be the same color but jeez well I'll figure it out anyway

88
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:23,680
don't forget to subscribe and uh that's what a tj07 looks like with almost

89
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,680
nothing left in it so there you go
