WEBVTT

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

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:18.880
will be another uh another small update

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:25.679
about my personal rig upgrade that's going on here so one of the things that

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:29.320
I've decided is that I am going

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:32.320
to rep powder coat the internals of the

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.079
case so I found a place uh locally that

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.920
will strip off all the Old Powder Coating uh in a chemical bath they need

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

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.719
going to send the internals back down to

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:52.120
uh Mountain mods as well as the optical

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:56.000
drive and especially the pieces that I

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:58.879
missed last time like this one so that

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:03.719
the whole inside will be uniform and black in instead of having some parts of

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:09.439
it uh still left with the natural aluminum color hold on a

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

00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:20.119
can see I've now stripped it down

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:23.720
to just the unibody chassis or the

00:01:20.119 --> 00:01:26.200
unibody frame and uh you can pull out

00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:31.799
all of the drive cages uh there's actually more pieces over

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:33.920
here the support braces for the back you

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:39.439
can pull out the motherboard mounts the mid plate so all of these are going to

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:04.680
I might do is build myself in some better options in terms of running water

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:09.440
cooling through the mid plate because right now these holes don't really line

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:14.280
up perfectly with uh with what I'm trying to do

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.720
so uh that's one thing I'll consider I

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:21.280
still haven't figured out a way to address the uh the problem with this

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

00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:30.680
uh one of the things that I'll probably do is cut out a

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:33.920
CPU um

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.440
whatever they're called uh motherboard

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

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

00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.760
mount one because there's no aftermarket back plate it just uses the stock LGA

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.120
2011 back plate but I mean you never know what's going to happen in the

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

00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:03.360
hey don't eat the screw hey come on

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.400
come on come on there do you have it in your

00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:11.080
mouth there it is okay I don't necessarily want to rep powder coat the

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

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.200
for just making sure I do everything right this time hopefully I don't have

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.959
to do it next time

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:29.760
um yeah the place the place that's stripping off the powder coating also

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:31.640
does plating so I'm thinking about poten

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:38.000
eventually depending on what the cost is going to be like um there's a couple

00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:43.360
there's a couple options so one option would

00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:45.640
be uh gold plating the copperhead blocks

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

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

00:03:52.720 --> 00:04:00.000
is that you can actually strip the nickel plating off this guy and then

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.360
gold plate it instead but one of my concerns about that is they said that

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:10.319
when you're stripping the nickel plating off it will actually attack the copper

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:12.879
as well and so uh when they then plate

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.199
the gold back on there might be some imperfections in the finish so am I

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:19.519
better off with something that doesn't match but is finished perfectly or am I

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:25.720
better off with something that matches but isn't finished perfectly I don't

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.240
know so I think that's pretty much it

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:33.479
for the update right now I still haven't really made a made a solid decision

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

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:42.479
painted because this part is still pretty perfect but the side panels are

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:44.600
in rough shape um there's a we use for

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:48.919
the uh the Vesta special edition systems painting those uh they do a really good

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:52.720
job and they're not that expensive so uh you could get some kind of automotive

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.639
paint finish going on on here maybe some color change paint or something I

00:04:54.039 --> 00:05:00.919
haven't decided how crazy I want to go yet on this

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

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

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

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

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:20.600
get them stripped first including these which means I'm going to do these black

00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:25.080
wrinkles so they'll at least match the inside of the case and

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:30.039
uh yeah every once in a while when I'm

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

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.199
um I I have no idea how I did this like

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

00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:50.160
pieces folded here here here here and here and uh I've used rubber noise

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:53.240
isolating mounts to mount these fans in

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.199
here but I don't know how I got these in

00:05:53.240 --> 00:06:00.199
here and how I'm going to get them out this is

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.759
ridiculous so um the reason I even care is because I I'm

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.880
going to get this black wrinkle powder coated as well just to match the uh the

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

00:06:09.400 --> 00:06:16.840
be the same color but jeez well I'll figure it out anyway

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:23.680
don't forget to subscribe and uh that's what a tj07 looks like with almost

00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:23.680
nothing left in it so there you go
