00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.719
there were some scheduling difficulties around the arrival of my third and final

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:16.160
offspring that delayed the release of this video sorry about that but good

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.920
news everyone it's finally here desk PC

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.920
part two the finishing

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:35.200
touches tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.440
privately and enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:45.079
the link in the video description so step one was to remove

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.520
the literal dust that had settled on

00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:52.640
this project then roll it over to our shooting location to Begin work those of

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

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

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:05.119
single piece of MDF and we made a slight miscalculation that resulted in our

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:10.000
piece of glass that we got on Craigslist being slightly smaller than our desk no

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

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

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:24.320
sliding around so while my Dad ran to Home Depot to get the necessary Cuts

00:01:21.479 --> 00:01:29.600
made Jake set to work on one of the most important steps of any complicated

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:35.280
custom build pre-testing to ensure that the Hardware Works before you install it

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

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:43.960
of this entire process aligning Hardware

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.280
as perfectly as possible and creating all of the mounting points that were

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.640
going to need for final assembly so after a quick test hole and a scrap

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.920
piece of wood we were ready to create the motherboard Mount which was actually

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.560
one of the simpler ones we just positioned it with the correct spacing

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:03.240
to allow for cable management up the side later poked a mark through the

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.240
holes Center punched and drilled for the

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:10.160
same threaded inserts that I used for the bottom mounted desk PC project which

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

00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:18.080
this project has taken so long has been

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:22.920
in decision done we have many other holes to debate

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

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

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.840
have any handy skills any else you're the handiest person I

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

00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:46.360
cooling now the original concept was to use Hardline tubing like every other

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:48.879
desk PC ever but in part because

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:52.760
Hardline is tedious and in part because we wanted to do something a little bit

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:59.120
different we ended up deciding to drill 5/8 in holes through to the bottom of

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:02.120
the table and Route both our cables and

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.720
our tubing down there for a really clean

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.720
look so with that settled we were able to mark the mounting points for the

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:12.799
radiators in such a way that the air holes wouldn't interfere with our

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:18.280
diagonally positioned legs on the bottom and then move on to the hard drives hard

00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:22.599
drives were another case of we came in with one plan and left with a completely

00:03:20.799 --> 00:03:28.400
different one we were originally going to use L brackets and screw them into

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.879
threaded inserts from the top but hey

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:37.760
why not put the St handoffs in the drives then drill all the way through

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.760
and use long 632 bolts so using

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:43.480
templates we aligned our four Drive RAID

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:48.439
10 as best we could and then after a test fit with our custom length cable

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:52.280
mod SATA cables we ended up having to widen the holes a little bit for some

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.760
more wiggle room but it looks pretty good and hey at least we missed

00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:01.640
accidentally drilling through the legs on the bottom right this time we did no

00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:05.680
such luck with the reservoirs spacing wise we wanted to keep somewhat

00:04:03.959 --> 00:04:12.360
consistent with what we'd done with the hard drives which put our tubing right

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.519
over the leg now what well we ended up

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:18.519
drilling straight down then Beering off

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.199
at an angle with our 5/8 in bit it's not

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:25.479
perfect but the hole isn't that much bigger and once it's painted black it

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:30.360
shouldn't end up being that noticeable leading us to more problems while my dad

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

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:41.440
them won't interfere with the legs the tubing unfortunately will so if we flip

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

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

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

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:58.240
through for the reservoirs and it's going to end up looking dumb damn it

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

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

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:13.639
water block installed on our GTX 1080 so that we could build the mount and Mark

00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:19.160
our tubing holes while my dad built a small wooden post with a threaded insert

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:21.319
to mount our PCI Express SSD so we made

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:26.560
good progress for a while we completed the SSD mount it lined up perfectly then

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.800
we decided to use some extra mounting holes that EK left open in their block

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.919
design to bolt the GPU into the bottom of the desk with inserts and we

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:39.160
finalized the holes for the power supply and then we went back to debating the

00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:46.400
damn radiators and pumps again then it was drill drill drill insert holes for

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:48.400
the GPU and power supply remeasuring the

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:54.880
very approximated holes for the CPU block tubing drilling holes for the GPU

00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:56.680
and damn it I hit a leg again this time

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

00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:04.319
drilled the hole hes for the front intakes they're not quite perfect but

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:09.319
we're going to cover them with some Silverstone filters for now that'll mask

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:14.000
small errors and later on I might ask protocase to make something custom for

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

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:23.039
out to Home Depot for a corded drill we drilled the holes for the radiator

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

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:30.639
better and we are finally done the holes

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

00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:40.199
we also grabbed a power sander and some 220 grit sandpaper while we were out

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.479
remember though that this step wouldn't be necessary if we hadn't bunged up the

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

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.639
project and some washable furnace filter

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:57.800
that along with some xacto knife cut border pieces should be a pretty darn

00:06:54.599 --> 00:07:01.080
good solution to allowing access to the

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:04.400
machine's IO while keeping out dust the

00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:06.319
pumps and radiators go back in one more

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

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:16.599
going to do off camera whenever I have some time so part three will be the

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:21.639
final assembly and the conclusion and I promise it won't take as long as part

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:27.440
one to part two did so stay tuned and stay tuned on massdrop.com
