well that's a little bit of an uncomfortable close-up hey guys what's up J here and you know what today I figured we'll go ahead and start project skunk works now rather than do how I did project read missus is really hard to to do here we're going to go ahead and do this a little bit vlog II style now yeah I'm actually holding out a DSLR camera on a tripod sort of thing right now so that I can do this but I wanted so the audio is going to suck and but I wanted to get you guys involved in this build now why I call it project skunk works pretty much because the case which I'm using as you can see behind me right there is the case labs SMA a in their gunmetal color it was their very first gunmetal SMA 8 that they built and it looks an awful lot like the color like the stealth fighter if you take a look at it it's very it's very grayish but it's not really primer color and it's not gray it's not black it looks very stealth fish and skunk works was actually the name of the project for the Raptor f-22 project so that's why I thought of project skunk works so anyway this will be very vlog II style build and probably a few videos it's not going to be as extravagant as red mist unfortunately my own builds never get to be as good as the builds I build for other people I just can't be down without the computer as long as you know people who I'm building for can because they don't have the computer to begin with my computers have bring me or bring you guys these videos now this is what we're replacing the 900 D we've got a 480 in the bottom a 480 on the top and the only parts that are getting reused from this are the 7 80s right there the V 1200 power supply not convinced I'm going to use the corsair ram yet but we also are going to be reusing obviously all of my cables and pretty much the radiator fans on the bottom and the top there everything else oh and the SSD is going to be reused i guess pretty much a lot of the computer's going to be reused but we're also going to be making room for all this stuff to make its way in there as well radiator we're going to be using the 560 obviously by alpha cool unfortunately this guy got damaged in transit it's got a dent on it but it's purely cosmetic the yeah we're not going to waste this radiator I mean well I'll show you guys the damage in a little bit but it's just cosmetic it's finally going to show in the build so I'm going to go ahead and use it the EVGA z97 classified motherboard I've decided on this bad boy we've got our x3 ek res x3 s right there 250 millimeter res I've got the optional pump top or a pump tops get the optional ek tops right there so I have more options on fittings an entire box of alcohol fittings because lots of things you need when you're doing this I've got a few boxes of these I just put one out these are the Primo chill acrylic hardline tubing flexible tubing for behind the build a whole bunch of mod might toys fan splitters on there 2 terabyte Toshiba Drive that I'm adding to the build so I have more storage for the YouTube videos had to get myself some AF 120 fans because we are going to be doing airflow in this build and then we have also got another F 140 because I needed for 140 s for this guy and I only had three now obviously that's not everything for the build I mean this is not going to be like I said a complete built log but it's me more of a build that makes sense so the very first thing I'm going to do right now is you may see I've got all of those fan rings back there I've got to paint all of those to match this build I'm not going with the same color paint I did in this guy because it's a different color yellow that I'm using for this build rather than the pasty pastel yellow that my z77 OC formula board had and since there's no yellow on this motherboard I can make the yellow match the cables that are in there rather than having to go with that pastel color so I'm going to have a brighter yellow in this build I hope it turns out well with the gunmo the gunmetal I guess we're just gonna see so let's go ahead and paint these fan rings shall we and for that I am using rust o because I get asked so much how do you paint your rings we just grabbed paintin shh-shh it dries and you have a yellow ring it's not that hard but I'm using the rest Oleum gloss protective enamel takes about two to four hours to dry it to the touch yeah with that guys let's go ahead and paint these rings okay so there we go I've got my cardboard set up here just on some trash cans and I've got an old piece of wood hutch that's going in the trash to wait it all down so the wind is flip it over that would make me have a very bad day I've got 16 fans going in this build yep 16 fans because I'm doing push-pull on the 480 rad so yeah we got more fans for that so it's going to get all these rings painted yellow so it looks nice and sexy and then we'll move on to the motherboard and the CPU block I think blows hard man pushes these rings out of the way holy crap this is going to take a couple of coats alright there's code number one here's that dent I told you about and it's not alpha Cole's fault what happens is some of these boxes get dropped by the shipper and the weight of the radiator actually damages the tank so they're currently looking at redoing all the packaging for these radiators that way this doesn't happen again because the 560 rad I mean it's pretty massive and it's all copper so it's actually got some weight to it now this is all cosmetic there's no damage to the fittings or anything so it's not going to show just kind of sucks that that dent is there but you know like I said purely cosmetic and still going to perform just as good but in the meantime yeah they're redoing the packaging to try and absorb the drops a little bit better you can see in the box right here the box is not damaged in any way but what happens is the weight of the radiator moving in that box if the Box gets dropped and just kind of jerks like that it yeah that's what happens but as you can see you can't even really see it when you look at it from the right angle anyway so now no complaints here it's kind of a downer but okay what are you gonna do while we're waiting for all the Rings to dry we can't do anything with the fans or the radiators yet so we're going to go ahead and get the motherboard PU and waterblock insulting my arm looks freaky like that with that wide angle lens holy crap haha all right so now we al I just hit my elbow okay so now we've got the motherboard installed on the motherboard tray the backplate taken off let's go ahead and get the 4790k in there and the ek acetal nickel supreme supremacy clean and csq a waterblock on there I think it looks sweet I love that water block look at it in all its glory it's so plain it's awesome I think I called it the nickel version but I remember now I got the copper version because I always get copper where it doesn't show it's just better cooling capacity usually in just a little letting a small amount nothing major but it doesn't get seen so it doesn't matter if it's nickel or copper I'd rather have copper where things don't show but let all the hardware I mean you get a lot of hardware with this it's trying to brightness town AMD brackets comes automatically you know with the eight or Intel on there you pull here my kid yelling in the background oh my goodness it even comes with the Gilad thermal compound so good stuff let's go ahead and get this bad boy over here where it belongs all right time to install the 4790k so you can do this one-handed without jack and something up man first i've actually inspected the pins on this let's make sure the pins all look good pins look fantastic let's go ahead and line this up and but and it's installed I love the way this thing's just pop off mmm it's kind of funny primo chill tries to pack everything nice but this is the wicked arrives anyway everything just flopping around the box unfortunately fortunately some of the fittings getting like a I see it some of the fittings get mixed on them see that right there because of the way they flop around in the box if you ask me pretty much ill should really reconsider the way they pack these that's just the way it opened up but anyway that's going to get two of these bad boys installed over here pure sexiness these are the Primo chill revolver hardline fittings for a you know the acrylic tubing that I'm going to be using the tubing look at that love the way these look so I'm a dork I put everything together and I got it all on the motherboard tray and the block and everything on its he has a block over there and I was like oh crap I forgot to bench test this motherboard to make sure it works so as you can see it works how much show you something really cool what I love about this motherboard this motherboard has right there you can see it right there it's got a bio speaker built-in and I love bio speakers yeah they sound like 1995 but I love the sound they make when they turn on listen just sounds cool dude through of it I mean come on that's just awesome right come on xenon seven guys bad boom yes so now we'll just go ahead and you know put everything back the way it was remember kids bench test your stuff before you start installing it or you waste time like I did you think I'd know better by now it is time for the ceremonial return of the motherboard tray I'm hearing like the halo music playing in my head right now Oh oh that is gonna look so sweet does it look like so awesome all right we're thoroughly making a mess in this place now let's go check on the fan rings I apologize about the noise the neighbors air conditioner is running right there Oh see get in there got to coach on this already looking too bad go ahead and take one of these and stick it in there and see how the yellow looks against the gunmetal shall we it's not sure you were quick what I mean about the color difference of the Rings you can see those are more of a gold color and these are much brighter yellow it's kind of hard to see I guess but yeah it's a brighter yellow which more matches my cables in there all right let's go and see what we got now I'm a fan of yellow I know a lot of people don't like the yellow but I have always loved yellow but not in cars ironically I've just never been a yellow car fan much dad in there come on yeah it's hard to do with one hand huh that's what she said all right so there we go a nice yellow fan ring it looks cool whoo and let's see how it looks in there yeah I think that's gonna look pretty badass I'm just gonna say that now I think that is going to look bad s all right so we've got all the yellow rings here on the airflow fans and these are going to be going in the front right here now so the last thing we're going to do in this vlog and we'll be done for today is to get these guys installed in the front and then I'm not sure what we're going to do next later on this week maybe tomorrow not sure we'll see I want this built together and I want it done fast so let's go and get these fans installed all right there we go all the front fans are in there painted I've got to deal with the wires going to see that - good Kenny I've got to deal with the wires later and my next one motherboards installed water blocks installed rear fans installed all the rings are painted be able to do push pull on the top didn't do anything yet in the bottom I got all the 140s painted so yeah I guess we'll just go ahead and we'll snap the front cover back on here and then we'll wrap up the first version of Jays vloggy build we're gonna call them Jays Bloggie building right front covers back on I love the way the rings show up through there because it's a dark color all right there you go guys that's part one here of my personal rig update I'll start tearing some parts out of the 900 d when I get closer to that I don't want that compared to be down any longer than it has to be I'm waiting on a Plextor SSD to arrive sum of two SSDs and two mechanical drives in this bill it's the part I'm still torn on is how I want to do the reservoirs I don't know if I'm going to do anything custom with those at all so I guess we'll wait and see best in part 1 here project skunk works hope you guys like the blog style of this let me know what you guys think I put a few pictures up on Instagram as I was doing this so follow on Instagram and Twitter if you're not Jays - sense is the handle for both those and as always guys I hope to see you in the next one
