1
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:15,480
okay guys this will be my installation well rather assembly guide for the

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,800
high-speed PC uh XL ATX top deck tech

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,840
station that I have for my personal use now or well rather my tech tips use so

4
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:24,920
I'm going to show you guys step by step what to do the first thing is you will

5
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,960
need a Phillips head screwdriver they recommend a powered one but I don't have

6
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:33,800
one so I'll be using this one next you should compare all the parts included

7
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,079
with the reference in the instruction manual here to make sure that

8
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:43,239
everything's included if it's not there email support at highp speed pc.com all

9
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:46,520
right finally you can get started you

10
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:50,920
should clear a desk give yourself room

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:52,160
and yeah that's pretty much it okay so

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,079
step one assemble the testbench

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:04,680
feet for this step you will use the four rubber feet four stainless washers and

14
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:10,360
four 1-in screws that look like this you'll position the

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,759
feet over the mount over the uh guide

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,560
holes right here position the screw and then you

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:21,200
will screw them in until they just barely poke through you're going to

18
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:27,000
tighten it the rest of the way later on when you attach the upright

19
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:31,960
post I'm going to show you guys how deep I'm going to

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,759
go so just about like that so where you

21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,759
have a little bit

22
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:39,720
exposed the next step is pretty straightforward we're going to install

23
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,280
the motherboard uh rubber standoff guys okay

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:50,079
so basically you're going to screw these down tight enough that the rubber

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,079
doesn't rotate anymore but not so tight

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,759
that the rubber starts to pucker because if you drive down tight enough you can

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:01,240
put the screw right through the Rubber and you may ruin the rubber standof now

28
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,640
for a couple of the holes so invariably

29
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,920
this one up here which is going to be the top of where your motherboard is

30
00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:12,879
mounted and uh all the way through there

31
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:14,160
we go and then uh sometimes this one

32
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:18,120
sometimes this one and sometimes this one you're going to put these two nylon

33
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:24,599
screws and then you're going to hand thread

34
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:27,599
down a rubber standoff and this is to

35
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:29,560
hold the board in place cuz the threads

36
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,879
on these guys here hopefully I can get this see the threads on here we'll keep

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:39,400
the board from slipping off okay so just hand tight on there so you put it here

38
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,640
for matx here for ATX and here for uh XL

39
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,640
and

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,239
hptx so I'm going to show you guys quickly this is what it looks like if

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,120
you overtighten it see how it starts to

42
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,360
flare out at the bottom so I'm just going to untighten that one and put it

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,840
back right where it's supposed to be there can't turn the rubber can't do

44
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:03,159
that okay and finally see these little nuts right here I never ever used them

45
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,599
but in theory after you put a motherboard on you can screw this on to

46
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,239
hold the motherboard in place more permanently next step is to install the

47
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:17,000
fan bracket so we're going to use these little guys and we are going to do fan

48
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,640
one first please Focus please Focus

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,840
there we go so you just flip this guy over put it like that and then drive the

50
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:28,959
screw into the this is going to be the bottom

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:33,239
of the top deck so you can see the nylon washers poking through here so that is

52
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:39,400
where the back of the motherboard will be on the other side of this piece and

53
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:44,760
just like that these ones I do pretty tight just because uh I'm often doing

54
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,239
weird stuff like hanging radiators off them and whatnot uh don't do them super

55
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,439
super tight right now because you're going to want to have a little bit of give when you're installing your fans

56
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:58,720
and then you can uh crank it a little bit later then you just repeat that

57
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,280
process for fans two and three

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:07,360
respectively for this next step the hard drive stopper you will need the spacer

59
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,840
the stopper right there it goes right there so just to show you guys I have

60
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,840
the fans on now already and you will need the slightly longer screw that

61
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:22,000
looks like this put that in there and then screw it

62
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,919
in the next step is installing the hard drive rails so my older Tech Stations

63
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,280
don't come with the option for 2 and 1/2 in but the new ones do so regardless you

64
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:35,360
put in this one so so you can see you use a nylon spacer right here you use a

65
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:40,919
screw and then you use the plastic rail which is going to hold on to the drives

66
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,479
like this see like so so you'll either put your 2 and 1/2 in drive in there or

67
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,880
you'll put your 3 and 1/2 in drive in there okay hopefully you guys can see

68
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:52,320
that now it is imperative that you don't overtighten this screw right here like

69
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:56,720
you see this doesn't move much remember it's not holding up the world it's just

70
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,479
holding up a couple of drives so you make sure it's not moving around but I

71
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,120
can still spin the water in here or the nylon spacer in here freely so don't

72
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,000
like crank it tight I'm going to do mine for 3 and 1/2 in cuz ssds are not much

73
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:12,199
of a problem to just stuff between your optical drive and your power supply not

74
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,360
to mention that if you drop an SSD while you're moving your TX station it's not a

75
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,280
big deal and if you drop a hard drive it's pretty much dead this next step

76
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,919
seems a little tricky but actually it's quite easy you take this piece right

77
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,720
here which is a threaded bolt you push

78
00:05:24,919 --> 00:05:30,520
it through uh so remember this is where the back of the motherboard is where

79
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,639
these nylon post come through so you're putting it through this very Corner one

80
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:41,680
here and the Very Corner one here then what you do is you take your shorter of

81
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,639
your two uh types of posts you put the

82
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,360
hole at the top because remember that's where the uh expansion cards are going

83
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,800
to eventually plug into and you thread this one on from the top and then you

84
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:57,520
take a longer one and you thread it on from the bottom turning at the same time

85
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,479
so you can see here's one that I've partially completed I'm just going to

86
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,800
adjust my chest cam here so I can show you guys what I'm doing and I am

87
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,479
twisting them both at the same time now high-speed PC mentions that it's a

88
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,880
little bit tricky to ensure that this hole stays facing outward and that's

89
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,160
very important so you want to tighten this one in all the way then hold it

90
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,319
outward and tighten in the bottom one the rest of the way to make sure that it

91
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,880
faces the right way because you want a nice snug fit between these otherwise

92
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:28,880
your tech station is going to be loose when you pick it up for this next step

93
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,960
all you need is the remaining two support posts and what we're going to be doing is

94
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:38,039
we're going to be taking those screws that we threaded ever so slightly

95
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,479
through the bottom platform and we are

96
00:06:38,039 --> 00:06:44,479
going to be screwing them into the support post so it's quite important

97
00:06:41,479 --> 00:06:47,520
while you're doing this to hold the post

98
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:51,520
very snugly against the tech station

99
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,639
please Focus Mr camera oh come on all

100
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,080
right so here what I what I did was I held it between my

101
00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:01,000
legs focus

102
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,240
focus thank you okay held it between my legs like this and then I use a

103
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:09,479
screwdriver from one side holding it snugly and just screw that in like that

104
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,440
you go until the foot compresses a little bit and then once that happens

105
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:18,440
you want to do about a half turn so I think we're pretty much there holding

106
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:24,000
the screw in place do about a half turn or even a quarter turn with the uh

107
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:29,160
support stand itself to make sure that you've got a nice snug fit against the

108
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,240
base it's starting to look pretty complete compl I have taken my bottom

109
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:39,400
portion and I have put it down on top of the top portion just like this I'm

110
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:44,360
lining up these screws that are poking through a little bit with the

111
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:48,680
holes right there and then I'm going to tighten them down in much the same

112
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:53,280
manner being careful not to overtighten through the feet so that the washer pops

113
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:00,280
out you see the washer that's uh that's in there all right until I have a nice

114
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:01,840
snug fit and then it's pretty much put

115
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:06,520
together and all we're really left with is a couple finishing

116
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,560
touches now I flip around the tech station one more time I put together

117
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,520
this assembly where I have the final silver screws we don't really have any

118
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:21,319
silver screws left a washer and a little cap to go over it and I'm threading

119
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:23,639
those in well screwing those in to the

120
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:27,840
final part of the two platforms that needs to be supported so I'm just going

121
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:33,440
to go till I can see it sticking through a little bit line that up with the hole

122
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:38,080
there you can see what I'm doing here okay and then I'm going to hold it snug

123
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:42,440
and screw those in and it's pretty much structurally complete at that point so

124
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,279
I'm just going to put some pressure here I'll do this on camera since I want to

125
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,640
show you guys one of these finishing pouch

126
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,839
steps all right so that's nice and snug then I just close up that little cap

127
00:08:53,560 --> 00:09:00,000
keeps that metal screw from being exposed and shorting anything out all right so now we're going to put that PCI

128
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,839
support bracket on at the uh back where so here so you can

129
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,399
see here's where the io of the motherboard is so this is where the

130
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,040
expansion cards go please note that these holes are going to be closer to

131
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,000
the motherboard rather than further away from it or the brackets on your PCI

132
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,320
cards will not line up you're going to use two different screws for this one

133
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:23,920
you're going to use a sharp one that goes into this post and then you're

134
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,360
going to use a blunted

135
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,560
one come on let's see focus focus

136
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,040
whatever you're going to use a blunted one that goes up into this this nylon

137
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:37,959
piece here so you're just going to use an L bracket position it right there and

138
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,000
then screw them in completely so that it's nice and tight like I've done on

139
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:46,800
this side here oh and last but not least for this

140
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:52,360
piece going to put a little cap on there so it looks nice and finished you

141
00:09:49,959 --> 00:09:59,399
know there so I'm mounting my fans I'm

142
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:01,240
putting my neoprene nonslip pad into the

143
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:04,560
bottom of the tech station here so that's where I'll put my power supply

144
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:09,160
all that good stuff so it doesn't move around once I put it down I'm also

145
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:15,120
screwing in the fans so fans go in just like this now I

146
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,519
person they provide a suggestion for how to mount the fans I believe fan mounting

147
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,760
is very personal so you know maybe I want to take hot air away from the CPU

148
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,000
area maybe I have a tower heat sink here blowing air that way and then maybe my

149
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,640
graphics cards are installed in the lower slot so maybe I want to push coal

150
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:33,440
there towards them whatever the case may be you can install the fans however

151
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:38,079
suits your personal needs um the rest of the stuff I consider optional uh so

152
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:41,200
these guys I mentioned before are for securing the motherboard down which I

153
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:46,880
consider highly optional I'll just throw these away um also we have plastic thumb

154
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,639
screws which there's no way I'll use I have my own thumb screws that I prefer

155
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:54,480
that are a little bit easier to work with cuz the um I don't know they just

156
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:59,959
cooperate with the threads better see these ones I have a little bit of trouble with I don't really like those

157
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,040
um and then obviously we've got fan screws uh this is another thing that I

158
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:08,959
probably won't do but if you have curious pets or children then it's

159
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:14,760
definitely a good idea to install these fangu guards just like that okay so just

160
00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:18,839
