00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
Let's cut this PC in half. But first, let me tell you why it's gonna suck so much. Our first idea,

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.260
which would make this pretty easy actually, would be to toss this into our bandsaw.

00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:15.720
Unfortunately, our bandsaw isn't tall enough. A couple of other things. You don't have a CPU for one.

00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:20.760
We'll fix that problem. I also don't see a cooler. What are we using for a cooler on this?

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:28.600
Did we drain it yet? No. Is it that?

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:34.080
Well, this will be fun.

00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:40.000
First up, first, let's get all the water out of this thing, because I do not want it spraying all over the bandsaw.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
Eric, oh, that's nice and yellow.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Yucky. Yummy. How much do you drink it?

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.000
No. Absolutely not. Don't drink your water cooling water.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.000
Alright, let's rip this thing apart first, because it'll be probably the easiest and the most entertaining.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.000
We're cutting this in half for a meme, as it seems like I cut everything around here in half for a meme.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Destroying dead hardware. Good times. First thing up, AIO. I have a feeling this is still gonna throw some water around. Hopefully it's not too, too much.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.000
Ooh, yummy.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000
Whoa.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.000
Well, I went right down one of the vents, so that's fun.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.000
Oh, gross. Okay. That's making a mess for myself later.

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.000
Alright, next up, removing the other half of it. In case this wasn't obvious, don't try this at home.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000
Oh, it stinks. Oh, my God.

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Yep, that's not the most pleasant smelling thing ever.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.000
Oh, my God, what is that? It's just getting warm.

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
Oh, God. Oh, okay. It's not getting inside, okay.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:02.000
No. Is that toxic? It's probably not great to breathe in a ton of, but it's just gonna be warm plastic.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Woo. Success.

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.000
Ooh, that looks fun. Also, it looks really gross.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Dude, oh, my God. Is that residue from the cooling?

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.000
It's gonna be a mix of a bunch of plastic, a bunch of copper.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000
You can see a whole bunch of copper-shaped things got caught inside it.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.000
Yeah, it's kind of just a whole mix of stuff.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Tried cleaning it off a little, see if it looks a little bit less gross, but my hopes aren't that high.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.000
All right, four bucks for like that. No, absolutely not.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.000
Fun realization, I thought this was a whole bunch of copper from the base plate,

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.000
but no, this is a motor, this is part of the pump.

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.000
So I just straight up cut the motor in half.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.000
Good times. I'm not gonna clean this up anymore.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.000
That's good enough. Oh, gross.

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.000
Yeah, that nice dust is probably either part of the core or part of the rotor.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.000
So typically magnetic-ish, or at least can be magnetized,

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.000
and when you cut some of those materials, they turn into a nice gross powder.

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:12.000
I think I just want to do the whole motherboard in one go. So just like take the motherboard out and then angle grind the case in half after.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.000
Probably make my life a lot, well, make my life marginally less painful.

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.000
I'll do my best to line it up so the cut line on the AIO block is the same as the cut line across here,

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.000
but it's gonna be close-ish.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:33.000
As anyone who's super keen-eyed can notice, the mounting locations are absolutely nowhere near the mounting locations for the AIO.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.000
So super glue it is.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.000
This might get a little spicy. They also have a very tall RAM and a very short rest of the board.

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.000
We could cut anything out of the RAM. Nah.

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.000
I mean, this actually fits. Oh, yeah.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:04:00.000
And it's probably fine.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.000
Oh, this would not be the reason I died too early.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.000
Many people have seen me do much stupider things on camera.

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.000
No. So that's something where your intuition is very, very wrong.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:21.000
On a machine like this, if you're wearing gloves and it gets caught, your hand goes in.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.000
So for something like this, do not wear gloves, period.

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:32.000
Unless the thing you're trying to cut is more dangerous than having your hand sucked into the blade.

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.000
Tying in safety tips. People trust me when I say safety things,

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.000
because they know I've probably done the unsafe thing at some point.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.000
Oh, that's a gigantic inductor.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.000
Cutting through, that's gonna suck. Like, is it explode bad or what?

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.000
No. It's just gonna be really time consuming and just not fun.

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.000
I am aiming to line up right between this capacitor and this inductor.

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.000
So I want to cut right in the middle there.

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:06.000
Oh. Nailed it.

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.000
All right. Oh, this is gonna...

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.000
I might regret this decision actually.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.000
I'm hitting something else again.

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.000
Now I get to figure out what.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.000
Nope, nope. Just the backside of the other RAM.

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.000
All right, pass down. That sounds good.

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.000
Damn it.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.000
Almost. Getting through the inductors is just not gonna happen.

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.000
Not with this bandsaw and this blade.

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.000
All right. And she gone.

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:23.000
See a nice profile of the RAM. Yeah, I just want to make sure that I, like, have it the right orientation.

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.000
Oh, it's right the first time.

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.000
Yep. And you never trust that you're right the first time.

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.000
All right, there's my approximate cut line. We'll see how good of a job I do.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.000
I need to move the guard up a bit. Whoops.

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.000
Oh, and by that I mean I should have tightened the guard.

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.000
There we go. Success.

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.000
We did it. Round two.

00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.000
All right, let's see how not close I was. Nope, that's the wrong half.

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.000
Oh yeah, that's not bad. I'll take that.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.000
Yay. Great success. You know what, let's finish up with the bandsaw first.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.000
Let's see how interesting this is going to be.

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.000
Yeah, I think most of the time it's silicon, but that's effectively glass.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.000
It depends on the type. Some of them are, some of them aren't.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:37.000
I'm not going to die. I have a feeling our bandsaw blade is going to die though.

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.000
I don't want to risk any hard work for it.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:49.000
Oh, okay. Yeah, my next thought was going to be use our circular saw, but yeah.

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.000
I mean, we've killed that blade with many other things.

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.000
I want this to work so bad, but I know it will not.

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.000
It's so much easier than the alternative.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.000
All right, time for the case. This is the one that I really wish would fit in the bandsaw,

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.000
but since it doesn't, angle grinder it is.

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.000
Let's go.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.000
That's fun. Oh yeah. You know it.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.000
You good? Oh, that's not great.

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000
Here you go. Wow, my very own.

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:36.000
For now, while you're in the shop, I'm good at painting within the lines, I swear.

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.000
Yeah.

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.000
Yep. The metal, the metal gets real hot.

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Yeah. The fun part and it's also blind.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.000
Oh, it's actually not that blind.

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.000
All right. There's my cut line. Let's see if I can follow it.

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.000
A tiny bit at the bottom.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.000
That little tiny piece.

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.000
Wobble and she's gone.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.000
All right. Tell me in the comments how not straight my line is.

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.000
It fits. Hey, nice. It does fit.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.000
Let's see how straight it is. Like, that's actually surprisingly, like surprisingly not bad.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.000
Yeah. If you're eyeing it first. Okay.

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.000
Well. Okay, ignore this.

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.000
Yeah. That's going to get, that's going to get split.

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:19.000
You like almost can't tell. That's like, it's actually not bad.

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.000
Oh, I was going to say what? All right.

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.000
Focusing on not having any sharp things. All right.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:32.000
Time to watch me put this thing back together again. Or at least, you know, try to super gluing it.

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.000
Super gluing what?

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.000
Screwing it on is going to be better.

00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.000
Like you're not wrong, but also it's better.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.000
Yep. Oh, I was going to say this holds it together kind of.

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.000
That holds it together. Kind of, kind of.

00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.000
Wow. It actually kind of does work. Oh, popped off.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.000
Uh-oh. That's fine. All right.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:12.000
Time. Initially, we were planning on trying to super glue this thing on, but there's nowhere near enough area to actually attach it.

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:18.000
All of this, this tiny little lip here is all that super glue would stick to all of the pins and everything else.

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.000
It just wouldn't do anything. So I'm going to try slapping a bunch of EHB on it and fingers crossed it.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.000
Hold it on properly. Sorry.

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.000
Good to watch me put on a glove with one finger.

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.000
Yeah, but I think if you move it around, it's going to fall off.

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.000
I mean, it looks pretty lined up.

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:45.000
What, the yellow? Oh, that's actually not terrible, but yeah, that's going to come off too easily.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.000
Okay. I'm going to do the horrible thing and smush all the pins.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.000
No, no, no. Oh, those pins are actually, wait, what?

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.000
Oh, this isn't overboard. Hmm. These pins are actually hard to smush.

00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:01.000
Plan number two, sealing tape for vacuum bags.

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:07.000
This stuff is very sticky and also very thick.

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:14.000
Did not think about the logistics of trying to attach a cooler to a socket.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.000
Would not recommend, maybe.

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.000
Oh, that might have actually done the thing.

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.000
That would be awesome. Okay.

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:30.000
Now mounting the radiator in the definitely cut in the correct direction orientation.

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.000
I just don't look too close. Wow.

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.000
Hang on. Does it work? I do something.

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.000
Oh, maybe I can do something done with one of the cable managers.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:47.000
I want to try to orient it like this, but I don't want the tube to disconnect itself.

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:57.000
Crap. I want to do like that, except it's not going to work because the tube is in the way.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:04.000
Yeah. I mean, that'll also be a lot easier to actually, whoop.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:09.000
Yes, let's go. I'm going to try one smaller one just to see if it works better.

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.000
I'm going to clean up the edges of this.

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:16.000
So our nice social team does not slice their hand open and then you'll get to see whatever

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.000
kind of content they make out of it.
