all of the personal rig updates um so
before we go any further I finally got
it pretty much done there's still a couple small things I haven't finished
bleeding out the loop and uh yeah mostly that we're we're pretty
much there I need to reformat my OS and stuff like that because this is like a
year outdated at this point I haven't used it in a really long time um so I I
actually had my 30-in monitor here in the room while I was working on the rig
I don't remember why it was down here I don't remember why it was down here
where oh we were probably running benchmarks on it yeah we were running benchmarks on it so it was down here in
this room and it was just kind of here and and Rumble really wanted some
attention and he was you know just kind of being a brat rubbing up against
everything jumping up and everything he jumped up on my 30in
monitor and uh it fell right here and
swacked this thing now when it was powered
off it still looked absolutely perfect
so right in the center there where it got hit there's not a single mark But I
powered it on to test whether my r worked and I was greeted by
this so my Samsung 305t plus my 2560
x600 monitor that I actually just recently tested and found out will work
at 75 Herz with a supported NVIDIA graphics card and I was really excited
to try that out is
dead um so I have to figure out my monitor situation sometime over the next
little bit here I'm going to check with uh Paul from from New Egg TV and see how
he likes that yamama Kazi leonitis that he got see if he likes it and we'll go
from there anyway I might as well show you guys my horrendous okay this is
probably the worst Cable Management you've ever seen um I decided by the
time I was getting to the close to the end of the build I was like you know what forget it I'm not going to put
quite the same sort of care and attention to detail into the cable
management as I originally intended so things got a little crazy all up in here
so the things that I'm still going to do you can see this just runs off to
nowhere this is the USB connector for the T balancer which is my smart fan
speed controller so this I only have to plug into program it so I'm just going
to leave it here and then I can plug it in to program it and then just take it
out and leave it back here um this is for the
UV there we go the UV cathode that's in the uh T Virus it's okay you don't have
to see the inside they don't get to see that yet I'm going to do a final update
when it's like done done um also because
I didn't have as much room with my cable manager holes as I had hoped because a
lot of it got taken up by these SATA connectors which I was planning
originally to hide sort of down here but it didn't really end up working that way
so instead they come through here they're managed back here and then they
go into all these drives because I took up a lot of my cable management room I
was only able to run a couple power connectors up here so I think I only
have a single 3 MOX connector coming up
here and it's powering everything so so I had to Fashion myself some random
adapters so this is like a MOX to uh
left angle SATA and Molex and then I
used some of the phobia quad SATA Splitters to uh to Molex um to power all
eight of the f-120 sand Force drives
that are running off the LSI controller inside uh normally I'm pretty good about
oh yeah and the same thing like running all of the fans so there's two fans in
the front four in the bottom two in the top two at at the back and they all have
to somehow plug into four fan connectors on the te balancer which this is the
only really reasonable place to hide it so that ended up being a bit of a
nightmare as well and I could fashion custom cables but I just got to the
point where I was tired and I wanted to have a gaming rig again um normally I'm
really good about this um and I end up
with a loop that's very easy to bleed but my Loop
is as you may or may not be able to hear got quite a few air bubbles in it so I'm
going to have to play around with the angles of the case a little bit and get
that bled out so this barely closes guys like barely closes and I can barely get
the side panel back off so once it's done and it's closed I want it to pretty
much be done uh one of the other things that was a real nightmare to get done
was uh getting this 38 tubing over the D5 pump as well as the halfin barbs that
I have on my thermal chill rat I also still have to add some zip ties I mean I
don't think these are going to leak look how stretched they are but it's always you know better safe than sorry for
stuff like that all the not quite individually but two cables per sleeve
cables go here and I want to I want to tie them up a little bit just get them
into bunches somewhat because you can see them through the mid plate on the
other side I didn't get a custom mid plate so um that's the last thing that I
want to change on the back um it's going to be really quiet once I get it sort of
dialed in with the tea balancer but uh
there you go so we're close and there's my there's my horrendous Cable
Management you guys are going to be surprised at how tidy the other side
looks when you see how awful it looks in the back here but I've never really I've
never been really been one of those guys who puts a lot of attention and detail
into the stuff that no one's ever going to see even though I feel like I
probably should especially with some of the awesome build logs that are going on
in the lineus tech tips Forum uh you guys are you guys are making me feel bad
about taking a year to finish this monstrosity but anyway I pretty much
have a gaming rig again except I no longer have a monitor and that's my
personal rig update and and as always don't forget to subscribe to L this Tech
