1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,200
why on earth would you hang your computer on the wall

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:13,280
well i could say it helps with cable management or that it helps with cooling

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:18,960
or that you know what forget it there's only one good reason because it looks

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:21,760
dank off now your garden variety wall

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,720
pewter is rectangle shaped but here at LTT we are all about pushing the limits

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:32,719
of college dropout engineering so our resident slav proposed that we make ours

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:39,200
in the shape of the WAN Show logo with hardline tubing spelling out LTT however

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:43,760
since he's barely touched power tools let alone built a fully custom wall case

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,840
before we well essentially we needed an adult so

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,800
we cast mods level 80. which didn't work

11
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,210
obviously so we packed up our [ __ ] and drove down to their shop in seattle

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:04,479
instead

13
00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:12,320
since the machine's frame would be built in vs mods's top secret facility in

14
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,720
washington state before final assembly we needed to ensure that all the

15
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:22,000
dimensions were relayed correctly we started with a two scale 3d model of the

16
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:26,640
machine using sketchup and the built-in objects library they took our model

17
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,880
added a few suggestions made an offhand comment about amateurs then rebuilt it

18
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,119
from the ground up to account for their cnc machine's capabilities once that

19
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,159
stage was complete we loaded our pre-tested hardware into the company suv

20
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,479
and sent ivan and pella down south at the border crossing i'm sorry you're

21
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,119
doing what with all this expensive looking electronic crap well the guard

22
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:53,840
ended up disappearing for what felt like forever and then came back saying he

23
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,520
watched some of our videos as proof that we were who we said we were

24
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:01,439
hopefully he subscribed and we were on our way then while in the

25
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:07,439
middle of zero cell reception nowhere our shifter

26
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,520
broke forcing us to abandon the van at a local shop ivan got hit on by a

27
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,520
middle-aged passerby on the side of the road and our trailer got carted away by

28
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:23,360
an overzealous u-haul employee glass half-full though these delays only cost

29
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:25,840
us a day and nothing actually fell out

30
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,120
of the rental truck that one time time to build

31
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,840
first things first we had to get the most important stuff done and peel the

32
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,040
RAM then we laid out the key components to

33
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,280
check if the real world would align perfectly or if some of our holes would

34
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:48,400
need to be wood threaded 632 insert screws coupled

35
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:53,680
with standard standoffs were used to mount our motherboard onto the frame

36
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:58,800
with radiator inlets elongated with female to female extenders to reach

37
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:04,000
through the board our graphics card slot dimensions were a little off so rod

38
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:09,040
engaged the safety squints and extended it with a router next we removed four of

39
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:14,239
the backplate screws from our hybrid cooled ASUS poseidon gtx 1080 ti

40
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,760
replaced them with two millimeter threaded standoffs and used the highly

41
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,680
advanced color the tips with white pen technique to mark our drill holes before

42
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:30,799
mounting then we used a total of 1.3 meters

43
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:35,599
of thermaltake pci express extenders to connect our graphics card now it's a

44
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,519
scientific fact that you cannot achieve maximum performance without

45
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:44,640
mucho RGB so to that end we yet again turn to

46
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:51,599
thermaltake for both their RGB water cooling fittings and ring plus fans even

47
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,879
going as far as to replace our stock

48
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,280
power supply fan with an RGB one Corsair

49
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:02,799
power supply plus thermaltake fans equals Corsair take thermal ser

50
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:07,599
whatever it is it didn't survive the procedure so ivan had to mod our backup

51
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,239
one and chisel out the through hole by hand

52
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:16,479
looks like he's had some practice with that movement

53
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:22,560
then when he was done to keep whole and biggening to a minimum every single fan

54
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,800
and RGB fitting got d-pinned using two

55
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,960
pairs of tweezers of all things because someone didn't have a proper d pinning

56
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:35,280
tool rod so with the slab occupied rod fired up

57
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,759
his parts pro 4896 cnc router apparatus

58
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:42,320
and cut out the back panel for the frame this piece is important for both

59
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:46,960
mounting to the wall and providing structural rigidity to the front once

60
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,120
d-pinning was done through holes were drilled to route the cables and pump and

61
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:57,360
res fittings through and then the whole shebang had to be

62
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,680
re-pinned on the other side

63
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:04,720
shockingly though all the fans and fittings lit up on the first go

64
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:10,160
of course the machine had to be shamelessly branded so we added a cnc'd

65
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:15,680
semi-transparent hexagon that would later be lit with side-firing leds then

66
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:21,520
came a challenge rod can freehand bend hardline tubing

67
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:28,400
like a boss but with our goal of having the bends for the t's run parallel the

68
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,560
decision was made to design and cnc out

69
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,919
custom jigs while these were being manufactured ivan finished wiring up the

70
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:41,840
backside and then ran soft tubing along the back to all the ports to minimize

71
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,560
the use of elbows to improve water flow

72
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:49,919
unfortunately our first attempt didn't quite line up it took the cad guy some

73
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:55,360
time to figure out the issue and because of the delays during the inbound trip

74
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,360
our time at the shop ran out while we

75
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:02,880
were discovering that pulling the silicone inserts out of our 3d bent

76
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,680
tubes was going to be a two-man job so

77
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:12,160
the machine was picked up and loaded into the van as is to be finished in our

78
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:16,080
shop our tubing and paint both needed some improvement but hey we had a whole

79
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:20,400
day and a half left until it would need to make its debut at ltx what could go

80
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:26,560
wrong guys well i'm glad you asked the backstop on

81
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,840
the poseidon could have been not tightened fully and

82
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,199
spring a leak flooding the card power supply

83
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:39,759
and the paint job and speaking of the paint job the dust

84
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:45,120
in our warehouse could settle on the frame within hours making matters much

85
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,960
worse but an isopropyl bath and some touch-ups later and the machine

86
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,680
ultimately made it to the event where it was gloriously displayed above the dick

87
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:58,479
but application area mission accomplished

88
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:00,240
mostly guys this isn't funny

89
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:06,240
got guys so here it is in all its glory

90
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:14,400
we settled eventually on an Intel core i7 7700k on an ASUS maximus 9 code with

91
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:16,800
64 gigs of Corsair dominator platinum

92
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:23,680
special edition memory to accompany our ASUS rog poseidon gtx 1080 ti

93
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:29,680
cooling was courtesy of ek water blocks those guys do damn fine work and thermal

94
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:34,000
take there were certainly some hiccups but hopefully it was all in the name of

95
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,960
your entertainment and we're proud of the result so much so that we're

96
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:44,000
actually planning to keep it on display in our vr gaming room here at the office

97
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:48,080
which was actually why we chose the 7700k

98
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:51,520
