okay it's personal rig update 11 times so I've made a few more changes to the
0:11
case and I'm actually starting to put it back together so I want to do a complete
0:16
dry run with the System Assembly before
0:19
I send it off to be powder coated last time I got this case powder coated I
0:24
actually forgot to send this piece this piece and one other piece I think it was
0:29
this one up here to the powder coater so I ended up with a few silver pieces left
0:34
I don't want to make that mistake again I also want to make sure that all of the
0:38
cable management holes that I've cut are
0:41
going to actually help me so the cable management holes I've cut since last
0:45
time are this one for the front USB 3
0:48
I've also cut a hole in the bracket for
0:51
the front USB 3 dad so uh this will be
0:55
powder coated as well don't mind the ugliness so that'll be there um
1:01
I've also cut some table management holes in
1:05
the back of the motherboard tray here so this will help me get things like the
1:10
eight pin things like power cables for
1:13
my drives uh this will be great for
1:16
bringing things like 24 pin up to the front and then this will be great for
1:20
things like the fans for that radiator that's going to be in the front bringing them down to the basement to get power
1:25
so uh that's the the reasoning for all those I have also
1:30
uh expanded some of the cable management holes that I put in the motherboard back
1:35
plate so let's go ahead and uh put this
1:39
in oh hold on wait for
1:44
it that's usually a good sign there we go okay so in addition to
1:50
the CPU cutout I did last time and yes I have sanded these down they're not going
1:55
to cut me or cut my cables I've added uh
1:59
a hole here which will bring up the 24 I was going to bring the 24 around this
2:03
side and I still may but uh my wife advised me that it should come this way
2:07
in order to not look as ugly and then this is for SATA if I ever do use SATA
2:11
this is for my front IO so yes dry build
2:14
time without powder coating and yeah my
2:18
battery died so anyway um test fit time
2:21
I've made a little bit of progress on it uh per popular demand or as Whatever by
2:28
popular demand the 24 pin will not be going around the T Virus it will instead
2:32
sit right about there next to it however that does leave me with a bit of a
2:37
challenge um for what to do about the PCIe cables cuz they're not really they
2:42
were designed to come out wider the way that I did the sleeving I would have
2:46
done them um yeah I would have done them
2:49
differently if ID known that I was going to be doing something different with
2:53
those like maybe I would have I could have done twos and twos this way and
2:56
then brought them down here instead or something like that but right now I really really really don't know what to
3:00
do with them really pleased with how this is going to look once this is black
3:04
and it doesn't contrast as much so I can get all of my ssds on the back data no
3:12
problem um I got to widen this hole up
3:15
here or well whatever you can't see that but I I don't know if I already pointed
3:20
at this in the other video that I shot but um yeah got a widen
3:24
that other than that I'm very very excited about this build now that it's
3:29
finally coming together it's just time to uh clean everything off and get it
3:32
powder coated so stay tuned guys and
