00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.200
why on earth would you hang your computer on the wall

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:13.280
well i could say it helps with cable management or that it helps with cooling

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:18.960
or that you know what forget it there's only one good reason because it looks

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:21.760
dank off now your garden variety wall

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:26.720
pewter is rectangle shaped but here at LTT we are all about pushing the limits

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:32.719
of college dropout engineering so our resident slav proposed that we make ours

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:39.200
in the shape of the WAN Show logo with hardline tubing spelling out LTT however

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.760
since he's barely touched power tools let alone built a fully custom wall case

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:47.840
before we well essentially we needed an adult so

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.800
we cast mods level 80. which didn't work

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.210
obviously so we packed up our [ __ ] and drove down to their shop in seattle

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:04.479
instead

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:12.320
since the machine's frame would be built in vs mods's top secret facility in

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:16.720
washington state before final assembly we needed to ensure that all the

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:22.000
dimensions were relayed correctly we started with a two scale 3d model of the

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:26.640
machine using sketchup and the built-in objects library they took our model

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.880
added a few suggestions made an offhand comment about amateurs then rebuilt it

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.119
from the ground up to account for their cnc machine's capabilities once that

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.159
stage was complete we loaded our pre-tested hardware into the company suv

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.479
and sent ivan and pella down south at the border crossing i'm sorry you're

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.119
doing what with all this expensive looking electronic crap well the guard

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.840
ended up disappearing for what felt like forever and then came back saying he

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:57.520
watched some of our videos as proof that we were who we said we were

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:01.439
hopefully he subscribed and we were on our way then while in the

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:07.439
middle of zero cell reception nowhere our shifter

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

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:17.520
middle-aged passerby on the side of the road and our trailer got carted away by

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:23.360
an overzealous u-haul employee glass half-full though these delays only cost

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.840
us a day and nothing actually fell out

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.120
of the rental truck that one time time to build

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:33.840
first things first we had to get the most important stuff done and peel the

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:39.040
RAM then we laid out the key components to

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.280
check if the real world would align perfectly or if some of our holes would

00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:48.400
need to be wood threaded 632 insert screws coupled

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.680
with standard standoffs were used to mount our motherboard onto the frame

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:58.800
with radiator inlets elongated with female to female extenders to reach

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:04.000
through the board our graphics card slot dimensions were a little off so rod

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:09.040
engaged the safety squints and extended it with a router next we removed four of

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:14.239
the backplate screws from our hybrid cooled ASUS poseidon gtx 1080 ti

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.760
replaced them with two millimeter threaded standoffs and used the highly

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:23.680
advanced color the tips with white pen technique to mark our drill holes before

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:30.799
mounting then we used a total of 1.3 meters

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:35.599
of thermaltake pci express extenders to connect our graphics card now it's a

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:39.519
scientific fact that you cannot achieve maximum performance without

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:44.640
mucho RGB so to that end we yet again turn to

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:51.599
thermaltake for both their RGB water cooling fittings and ring plus fans even

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:54.879
going as far as to replace our stock

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:57.280
power supply fan with an RGB one Corsair

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:02.799
power supply plus thermaltake fans equals Corsair take thermal ser

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:07.599
whatever it is it didn't survive the procedure so ivan had to mod our backup

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.239
one and chisel out the through hole by hand

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:16.479
looks like he's had some practice with that movement

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:22.560
then when he was done to keep whole and biggening to a minimum every single fan

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.800
and RGB fitting got d-pinned using two

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:28.960
pairs of tweezers of all things because someone didn't have a proper d pinning

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:35.280
tool rod so with the slab occupied rod fired up

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.759
his parts pro 4896 cnc router apparatus

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:42.320
and cut out the back panel for the frame this piece is important for both

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:46.960
mounting to the wall and providing structural rigidity to the front once

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:51.120
d-pinning was done through holes were drilled to route the cables and pump and

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:57.360
res fittings through and then the whole shebang had to be

00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:59.680
re-pinned on the other side

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:04.720
shockingly though all the fans and fittings lit up on the first go

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:10.160
of course the machine had to be shamelessly branded so we added a cnc'd

00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:15.680
semi-transparent hexagon that would later be lit with side-firing leds then

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:21.520
came a challenge rod can freehand bend hardline tubing

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

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:30.560
decision was made to design and cnc out

00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:35.919
custom jigs while these were being manufactured ivan finished wiring up the

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:41.840
backside and then ran soft tubing along the back to all the ports to minimize

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.560
the use of elbows to improve water flow

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:49.919
unfortunately our first attempt didn't quite line up it took the cad guy some

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:55.360
time to figure out the issue and because of the delays during the inbound trip

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.360
our time at the shop ran out while we

00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:02.880
were discovering that pulling the silicone inserts out of our 3d bent

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:05.680
tubes was going to be a two-man job so

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

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:16.080
shop our tubing and paint both needed some improvement but hey we had a whole

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

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:26.560
wrong guys well i'm glad you asked the backstop on

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:31.840
the poseidon could have been not tightened fully and

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:35.199
spring a leak flooding the card power supply

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:39.759
and the paint job and speaking of the paint job the dust

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:45.120
in our warehouse could settle on the frame within hours making matters much

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:48.960
worse but an isopropyl bath and some touch-ups later and the machine

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.680
ultimately made it to the event where it was gloriously displayed above the dick

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:58.479
but application area mission accomplished

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.240
mostly guys this isn't funny

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:06.240
got guys so here it is in all its glory

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:14.400
we settled eventually on an Intel core i7 7700k on an ASUS maximus 9 code with

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:16.800
64 gigs of Corsair dominator platinum

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:23.680
special edition memory to accompany our ASUS rog poseidon gtx 1080 ti

00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:29.680
cooling was courtesy of ek water blocks those guys do damn fine work and thermal

00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:34.000
take there were certainly some hiccups but hopefully it was all in the name of

00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:38.960
your entertainment and we're proud of the result so much so that we're

00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:44.000
actually planning to keep it on display in our vr gaming room here at the office

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:48.080
which was actually why we chose the 7700k

00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.520
