1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,719
there were some scheduling difficulties around the arrival of my third and final

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:16,160
offspring that delayed the release of this video sorry about that but good

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,920
news everyone it's finally here desk PC

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,920
part two the finishing

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:35,200
touches tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse

6
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,440
privately and enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out

7
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:45,079
the link in the video description so step one was to remove

8
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,520
the literal dust that had settled on

9
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:52,640
this project then roll it over to our shooting location to Begin work those of

10
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:56,359
you who haven't seen part one you should probably go back and watch it it's up

11
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,320
there but I'll get you up to speed anyway we constructed this desk out of a

12
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:05,119
single piece of MDF and we made a slight miscalculation that resulted in our

13
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:10,000
piece of glass that we got on Craigslist being slightly smaller than our desk no

14
00:01:08,119 --> 00:01:15,240
problem so now that we're back at it we're going to manufacture a small lip

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,479
to both hide our error and to hold our glass Snuggly in place and keep it from

16
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:24,320
sliding around so while my Dad ran to Home Depot to get the necessary Cuts

17
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:29,600
made Jake set to work on one of the most important steps of any complicated

18
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:35,280
custom build pre-testing to ensure that the Hardware Works before you install it

19
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:41,439
then it was time to begin what would prove to be by far the most tedious part

20
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,960
of this entire process aligning Hardware

21
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:48,280
as perfectly as possible and creating all of the mounting points that were

22
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,640
going to need for final assembly so after a quick test hole and a scrap

23
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,920
piece of wood we were ready to create the motherboard Mount which was actually

24
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,560
one of the simpler ones we just positioned it with the correct spacing

25
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:03,240
to allow for cable management up the side later poked a mark through the

26
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,240
holes Center punched and drilled for the

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:10,160
same threaded inserts that I used for the bottom mounted desk PC project which

28
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:15,440
you can check out here then there was another delay I think a big part of why

29
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,080
this project has taken so long has been

30
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:22,920
in decision done we have many other holes to debate

31
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,080
for the rest of the day why are you creating work that's like 2 minutes why

32
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,480
are you creating work out of no out of no work okay just cuz you're you don't

33
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,840
have any handy skills any else you're the handiest person I

34
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:40,360
know J right oh God so with that out of the way it was time to work on water

35
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:46,360
cooling now the original concept was to use Hardline tubing like every other

36
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:48,879
desk PC ever but in part because

37
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,760
Hardline is tedious and in part because we wanted to do something a little bit

38
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:59,120
different we ended up deciding to drill 5/8 in holes through to the bottom of

39
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:02,120
the table and Route both our cables and

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,720
our tubing down there for a really clean

41
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:08,720
look so with that settled we were able to mark the mounting points for the

42
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,799
radiators in such a way that the air holes wouldn't interfere with our

43
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:18,280
diagonally positioned legs on the bottom and then move on to the hard drives hard

44
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,599
drives were another case of we came in with one plan and left with a completely

45
00:03:20,799 --> 00:03:28,400
different one we were originally going to use L brackets and screw them into

46
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,879
threaded inserts from the top but hey

47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:37,760
why not put the St handoffs in the drives then drill all the way through

48
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,760
and use long 632 bolts so using

49
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,480
templates we aligned our four Drive RAID

50
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:48,439
10 as best we could and then after a test fit with our custom length cable

51
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:52,280
mod SATA cables we ended up having to widen the holes a little bit for some

52
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,760
more wiggle room but it looks pretty good and hey at least we missed

53
00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:01,640
accidentally drilling through the legs on the bottom right this time we did no

54
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,680
such luck with the reservoirs spacing wise we wanted to keep somewhat

55
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:12,360
consistent with what we'd done with the hard drives which put our tubing right

56
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,519
over the leg now what well we ended up

57
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,519
drilling straight down then Beering off

58
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,199
at an angle with our 5/8 in bit it's not

59
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:25,479
perfect but the hole isn't that much bigger and once it's painted black it

60
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:30,360
shouldn't end up being that noticeable leading us to more problems while my dad

61
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,600
worked on the outer lip I I began work on the radiators while the fan holes for

62
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:41,440
them won't interfere with the legs the tubing unfortunately will so if we flip

63
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,720
it over and we try and go straight down to the bottom of the table we go right

64
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,240
into the legs if we had the tubing come up and then out we're short and elbow

65
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,759
fitting and we end up with one of the tubes really close to where the tubes go

66
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:58,240
through for the reservoirs and it's going to end up looking dumb damn it

67
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:03,479
Jake so I decided to change gears and work on the mounting for the G CPU and

68
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:08,639
the SSD so I decided on a height for the floating video card Mount and got the

69
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:13,639
water block installed on our GTX 1080 so that we could build the mount and Mark

70
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:19,160
our tubing holes while my dad built a small wooden post with a threaded insert

71
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:21,319
to mount our PCI Express SSD so we made

72
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:26,560
good progress for a while we completed the SSD mount it lined up perfectly then

73
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,800
we decided to use some extra mounting holes that EK left open in their block

74
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,919
design to bolt the GPU into the bottom of the desk with inserts and we

75
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:39,160
finalized the holes for the power supply and then we went back to debating the

76
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:46,400
damn radiators and pumps again then it was drill drill drill insert holes for

77
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,400
the GPU and power supply remeasuring the

78
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:54,880
very approximated holes for the CPU block tubing drilling holes for the GPU

79
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,680
and damn it I hit a leg again this time

80
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,600
I cracked a support but it doesn't seem to be a major structural issue next we

81
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,319
drilled the hole hes for the front intakes they're not quite perfect but

82
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,319
we're going to cover them with some Silverstone filters for now that'll mask

83
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:14,000
small errors and later on I might ask protocase to make something custom for

84
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:18,720
it after running out of battery cuz that hole saw is a bit of a beast and running

85
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:23,039
out to Home Depot for a corded drill we drilled the holes for the radiator

86
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:28,400
tubing hit the legs again holy crap I wish we had plann that out a little bit

87
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,639
better and we are finally done the holes

88
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:35,919
except wait no no I need holes for the power wires for the pumps and the fans

89
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,199
we also grabbed a power sander and some 220 grit sandpaper while we were out

90
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,479
remember though that this step wouldn't be necessary if we hadn't bunged up the

91
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:49,599
size of our desk so it shouldn't affect your cost if you were to recreate the

92
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:51,639
project and some washable furnace filter

93
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:57,800
that along with some xacto knife cut border pieces should be a pretty darn

94
00:06:54,599 --> 00:07:01,080
good solution to allowing access to the

95
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,400
machine's IO while keeping out dust the

96
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,319
pumps and radiators go back in one more

97
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:11,160
time to drill their power holes and we are pretty much ready to paint which I'm

98
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:16,599
going to do off camera whenever I have some time so part three will be the

99
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:21,639
final assembly and the conclusion and I promise it won't take as long as part

100
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:27,440
one to part two did so stay tuned and stay tuned on massdrop.com
