okay so last night tried to kind of make
a stencil for the nuclear logo didn't go very well i used this version and then i
have some adhesive-backed stencil paper but as you can see tracing things is not
exactly a forte for me most of these were done on a table so i could barely
see actually through to the actual logo i need some form of backlight to help me
so i thought of grabbing the ultimaker turning it on so the white light is
shining through it and putting it down on the table but another thing that was
brought up is that i should be tracing it this way
brandon pointed out that it's a lot easier because of the grid lines and it's a lot easier because it's paper if
i'm going to be cutting everything anyways it doesn't really matter
so here we go
the master case 5 by cooler master gives you the freedom to truly make your mid
tower pc case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories click now
to learn more i love how of all the things that i've
either never done before in this build or i'm extremely an inexperienced in
creating a stencil was the biggest roadblock
all right so that was the first one done honestly it actually kind of looks
okay so i need to create three more of those and then
four more that are actually just a circle and don't have the nuclear
details on the inside this is gonna be a bunch of stenciling so i'll catch up
with you guys in a sec
i can probably just tape the crap out of it
okay so i have my four nuclear three uh
oh where's one of them anyways i'll find it i have my four nuclear logos now i
need to cut the shapes and things out of the nuclear logos using an exacto knife
and a cardboard box we're getting close
how's that i gotta cut out three more that took forever so
all right so all my tape markers are on the 3d printed bomb spacer thingy all
the stencils are cut so now it's time to take the adhesive part of my stencil off
and stick it on the bomb that doesn't look right
that's three inches up what the f
one good thing is the adhesive doesn't seem too strong
and try to place it down and hopefully it won't be too hard to get off
logo number two it's with one thingy facing up
i now need to take off my placement stickers the placement of
these things admittedly is not perfect
okay so now it's time to paint the nuclear logos so i wet the brush
and i'm gonna dip it in that's basically what i know to do so
wish me luck
this is kind of supposed to look a little weathered
so you know what if there's imperfections maybe they were on purpose
okay okay youtube comments
we should rename this video make it not even about fallout 4 anymore and just
call it luke is really bad at arts and crafts
hopefully i can even that out a little bit on further coats but for now we just
need to let it dry next in line in the train of nerve
wracking things that we have to do is cut the bomb because we need i o holes
we need to cut holes for power audio HDMI and an HDMI coupler
also we don't have to cut a hole for Ethernet there was an option to just
screw in an ac wi-fi dongle thing so i'm
going to do that and then leave it inside the case so before i start
cutting i actually kind of need to figure out how big the things are that i
need to cut the holes for so for audio pass-through like this i've just used an
elastic band and i'm going to use crazy glue to glue them both together so the
hole can be for both of them for usbs i'm going to stick them all
together like this and then glue all of these together so that i can have one
big bank of usb passthroughs that i cut
one hole for wow these went really fast
they're already like rock hard
how's that look okay that was a little close with the
super glue and the usbs and it drawing really quickly around the elastic band
but i think we're good so i just need to let these things dry
okay so we're doing the second coat of paint now
so we'll see how it goes this time
so i went outside of the stencil slightly right here oh my goodness you
can still see it how do i fix that i don't know
all right so the next hurdle is making sure that everything on the inside
doesn't fly all over the place whenever you try to move it
at all and my idea for this was terrible
so i called my dad who's generally better at these things than i am and he
came up with a way better idea which was using ready rod to run supports through
the bomb bolting them on the outside and then also using ready ready rod to
support the power supply in the top so we're gonna do that
but that's way too high up right there how far could this motherboard go down
because we could basically bring the bolt system down farther then you've got
room
like maybe even raise it up a little bit more than that
okay i got my marks so now we just have to project these straight down
there's rod number one these might even be too wide
they are uh we'll need just probably something
across yeah like we could plastic or even just like a zap strap
all right so we've changed our minds a little bit instead of actually going through
the holes on the motherboard we are going to just suspend the motherboard
from the rods using zap straps all the ready rod holes are now done
we're gonna have it poke out a little bit past the nut on the end and we're
gonna chop the end of the ready rod off on this side so both sides look the same
yeah dad had the idea of using some actual piece of something to make the
platform instead of just zap straps we're gonna use the meshed part so it
actually breathes a little bit better and i'm just gonna jumble the crap out of it
we have made our power supply platform so it fits right into the top like so
and i'll probably hot glue that in place or whatever and then the power supply just goes
right on top of it so with sound effects yeah
specifically that's that's the sound that the power supply makes when you put
it down okay so the super glue and rubber brand
rubber brand okay so the super glue and rubber band thing actually did seem to
work so now it's time to actually cut so the first thing i'm going to put in is
our audio okay so i just drilled my pilot hole so
i know on this side where i want the headphone stuff to go
so what i'm going to do now is drill a bigger hole with a slightly bigger
drill bit then just file it out
boom boom okay this is an exciting moment our
first bit of i o is coming out of the bottom of the bomb
that is our audio so i'm gonna hop glue this bad boy in
then we're gonna move on the next one i'm gonna cut is for the HDMI coupler it
has a little overhang with some bolt holes in it so i'm gonna just cut a
circle push it in from the outside bolt through the bolt holes and then
it'll be secured that way
brandon just pointed out that it kind of looks like a surprised face like oh my
goodness if you're drilling a hole like this use
this kind of drill bit save you a lot of trouble i just forgot
perfect look how snug that is oh my goodness
so if i can find screws that fit and nuts that fit on those screws i would
like to bolt it in but honestly doesn't even need it
usb is next in the row so i'm gonna do usb now and i'll just deal with the
extra wires dremeling's pretty much gonna be my best bet because it's a long
rectangular space
another like impressively close fit
i'm gonna pull it in a little bit and then hot glue it and we'll be good to go
i can't get this stuff off me geez
i got hot glue stuck on my finger okay so i'm just picking the positioning for
the power about there should be okay
okay so we have our hole of where we want it to go
okay boom there is our power cable just need to
bolt that in and then we're good to go all right so all the i o is done i
didn't have the feed on while i was actually drilling these this top one for
the usb 3 works just fine the second one in it's going
to interfere with this leg pretty quick then the second bottom one
kind of close if you have some large usbs so when you're doing this again get
it away from this leg somehow is a good idea
okay so the final coat of paint has been applied
i just have to take it off now this is a little bit nerve-wracking because it looks kind of like absolute junk right
now so hopefully it doesn't after we pull all this tape off so there's a
little bit of spill over but that's probably my fault somehow i'm
not a very artsy person so i'll take the blame there all right so most of the
things we have to do are done now i just need to cable manage because if i don't
cable manage well enough or at all the computer components will literally just
not fit okay so i need to make spacers
i thought why not some cardboard i'm going to
tape them onto the card here and here i don't know if this is gonna
work but i gotta give it a shot so here we go
okay so our custom ghetto cardboard spacers are done they're taped on and
i'm gonna try to fit this guy i actually think that's gonna work
one more problem that i have is actually this guy jut out of metal at the end which could
touch the end of the motherboard so i'm gonna have to do something about that
okay so i grabbed some like shelf material stuff i don't even know
what this is but it's not conductive
i still have no idea how i'm just gonna actually even have this on there but
as you can probably already guess the airflow in this system is going to be
horrible so we're going to have to address that and we will do that by
testing it first with no additional airflow
measures and then we'll try to add a few things here or there and see what we can
do to improve it now i know i said that
we're going to be hanging the motherboard off the support bars with
zap straps but it like doesn't move at all
so i'm gonna zap strap it anyways but
realistically there's no point all right so moment of truth we're gonna
turn it on oh i'm really nervous um
oh
hey oh
okay whoa the computer works
okay the computer works oh i was really worried about that for
so many different reasons um but all right i need to figure out
thermals real quick so running i did 64 on the CPU within like a couple seconds
we had a CPU throttle of about 30
so yep one thing i'm going to try to do is
try to fit an industrial ppc Noctua in there i don't know if i'm gonna be able
to make it fit i might have to do a smaller fan but this would be nice
that does seem to be helping the cooling although i really don't think that's
gonna fully solve the problem whoa oh yeah there it is
CPU throttling now one thing that i'm actually going to
try to do is maybe just turn off turbo
turbo mode disabled
so what we're going to do is try to jump into our
crisis 3 skybox test if it's able to pass that then
it's probably fine
well i've never had a complete computer red screen before
that's a first no idea what that means but it's not
good eleven one i broke everything is what
this one's called okay so last night Linus saw us moving around on the motion
sensor things and kicked us out told us to go to bed um i came in this morning i
had missed my alarm picked up the bomb didn't realize that
there was something over top of the legs
and two of the supports on the legs this
one and this one actually completely broke off so i super glued them and then
when i went to go put the bomb down immediately after breaking it there was
something holding on to the switch cable and it ripped the red wire completely
out um so i stripped both ends of that
soldered that back together this is working again
um at that point i was pretty pissed off and i was like i just want this freaking
thing to work i recable managed a whole bunch of stuff
and then i dremeled and cut out two pretty massive holes actually on the
bottom and then grabbed some really low profile 60
millimeter fans from some stock AMD coolers that we had and i'm gonna mount
those in the bottom as air intakes so
those should help quite a bit and with in between the clips up here cut out
there should actually be airflow this time so
let's try finishing the build a second time
hopefully i don't massively break anything else
and yeah let's go
i have noticed that there is actually some extra room here so i might actually
try to upgrade the CPU cooler the silverstone ar06 is in uh it was a
bit of a tight fit on the back had some problems there but it's fine also
the RAM didn't fit as nicely as i'd hoped so this second inner stick of
course their lpx uh got a little bit of a unique
treatment the caps for the heat pipes on the cooler
were a little bit too big and pressed against it and made it lean into the
other stick so i took a dremel to it
and uh kind of
cut some grooves where man this looks horrible where uh
the heat pipes would actually be trying to go
so now you can put it in uh
it actually fits just fine so um once Linus sees that i might not have
a job so hopefully you guys like this video a lot
the 300 watt is no longer needed this
thing served me well for the time i had it but
the 450 watt has finally showed up got
it got it got it which is good because last night when we were testing we did
actually run into some power issues so very happy to see that got our new
cooler on the motherboard time to start trying to put things back together
it's unlikely that it will melt a lot of computers are plastic too
hot damn all right so inside you can see we've
got some space in front of the CPU for it to breathe
we've got our two sticks of RAM like we were talking about this y cable for the
fans goes to the two fans that are in the bottom this windy SATA cable kind of
tries to keep itself out of the way and then plugs into the SSD which is back
here we have our anti
mat thing which is going to try to keep the back of the motherboard protected
from things shorting it out we have our nano which is held away from
the motherboard a little bit by our custom cardboard spacers and our blue
painters tape our Wi-Fi card
is actually keeping the SSD away from
the back of the graphics card because
the SSD is closed in metal and i don't want it to short the graphics card and
all together it fits all under the top
crossbar which is the ready ready rod or whatever
um so that we can put the plate on top
of there we can put our new watt power supply on top of that
plug it into here plug in the graphics card plug in the motherboard 24 pin and
8 pin and then plug in the SSD and then we're going to see if it
runs okay so there's one thing left that could ruin everything um
the top of the bomb gets this ring on it and then this cap goes on top of that
ring but on the inside part of the idea that we have for air to
be able to escape out the top is for these sections between the clips to be
cut out if i miss i could take out one of the
clips and then it might not actually go in here and then there's just going to
be a hole in the top of our bong which will look super dumb
one random note i haven't shaved since we started this
because i've literally been working on this or sleeping
i showered have a shape
all right so the top is on um it's clipped in there we left a
little bit extra on each side so i could click it in and then we taped it on so
that it shouldn't rotate and then fall in so that those air gaps should
actually stay there now i'm a little bit worried because there's some weight to
it and those legs
are maybe not as strong as they used to be
in their young days so it's kind of go time wanna make sure
this thing works
okay so the legs go in
it's plug-in time
okay so fans installed on the bottom new
CPU cooler the CPU was thermal throttling within seconds before now
we've been running it 64 for a little bit we're floating between 60 70 degrees
depending on what core you're counting
i think we might have done it

got some good stuff going on
it's been it's been a while i've been working on
this thing since monday at 9 30 a.m until about midnight every single day
and now we're finally here it's seven something on a thursday i don't even
