what is going on guys Jay here with JC said to do the power of Starbucks and monster and cocaine and well no not cocaine that is illegal and entirely immoral we've been able to make some headway here upon returning from my trip to Chicago where I had a famous Chicago deep-dish pizza which I might add was actually scrumptious but we are quite a bit off-topic already now I've been able to actually make some Headroom here on project red mist as you can see behind me hopefully you can see if you can't see I'll be sure to upload the Braille version well you know guys project red mist is kind of a love-hate relationship I love working with this kind of hardware I hate the fact that it takes up so much room here in my office and parts storage in the other room and when I start working on this just the massive mess it makes in this place so it gets a little bit frustrating so that means it's time to get this project up in the hell on out of here because I have some other stuff I need to work on like for instance getting rid of my 900 D and hopefully getting a nice case to put my stuff in but anyway how I just kick the table yeah so here it is as you can see from the last update which you guys kind of dubbed Project redness part 2.5 which I guess is pretty much fair I mean it only had the acrylic tubing here put in really which wasn't much of an update but I wanted to give you guys something before I left to Chicago so here we are part 4 and what I've got actually quite a bit done here but we still have a lot to go as you can see we've got the 560 rad down here on the bottom and I want to address this first because I've been fielding a lot of questions on Twitter and Facebook and comments and everything asking why did I go with AF 140 fans why didn't I go with SP 140 fans well guys I challenge you to link me to an SP 140 fan from Corsair they do not make a static pressure 140 millimeter fan but that brings me to the point of the static pressure versus airflow and if you didn't know AF is airflow SP is static pressure these radiators that I'm using these alpha cool Nexus radiators are eight fins per inch eight fpi does not a lot of resistance in there whatsoever so the AF fans are going to have no problem pushing air through this radiator whatsoever up here on the top though in the four eighty I do have SP 120 simply because it's available why not but the point is we're not going to be losing any sort of cooling capacity down here whatsoever by going with the AF fan so I just wanted to go ahead and put that out there now if you guys ask me any more questions about why did you go with AF and not SP I'm not going to add I'm going to answer it I'm going to acknowledge that question because quite honestly I'm sick of that question there are other fans on the market sure there are better 140 millimeter fans out there that I could have chosen but I like the aesthetics of the Corsair fans I think they meet the build perfectly with the little bit of accent color I do like the fact that they have multiple rings on there we could have gone with white or something if the red was too much I just like the fans so use whatever fan you guys like obviously if you don't like these fans tough shit quite honestly it's not your computer now there's some other stuff that's been going on here I've got the front fans mounted as you can see these are AF 120s sp1 40s on the 480 up top I just want to point out do you see the difference in size between the 560 and the 480 it is absolutely massive and gargantuan this radiator down here is only going to be cooling the to 780ti s which are going to be overclocked but as you can see here I do have the reservoirs mounted now I mentioned in a previous video that I was going to be doing something different with the reservoirs that I hadn't really seen done before and what I did was I did an acrylic stand acrylic mounting plate here if you will and then they've got about an inch and a half nylon spacers in the back that it's mounted off of the back wall and you guys can see that through some of the glamour shots here and why did I do that well I'm going to be putting LED lighting behind that that is going to eliminate illuminate behind this panel which is going to give it the effect of kind of floating so I thought that that's going to look really cool the buyer really likes it you know I got the acrylic made myself which also brings us to the point of the acrylic floor on here because the case does have fan cutouts in there I've come up with a false floor that I had cut and then I had to sand it and mold it and file it to make it fit perfectly in here to look like it was 100% part of the case which is going to kind of serve two purposes one with the acrylic because one it's going to give us more reflectance in here because it's a polished piece of plastic and it just looks really smooth I really like the way that this looks in fact I'll be doing the same thing with my build when I do mine so we are going to have white LED strip along the bottom white LED strip along the top and we're going to have some white and red LEDs placed in here that are going to give nice accents where we want to focus on the red I didn't want to go to red I didn't want to do red LED fans I don't want red bling everywhere because too much lighting is actually worse looking than not enough if you want my opinion on the matter so that will come together a little bit better the reservoirs as we've talked about they are going to come down in through the acrylic down into the bottom with some adapters or me going right here same thing with the the graphics cards these are called video cards that kind of I kind of forgot for a second there every now and then I forget my name and stuff so what was that I got the power supply mounted in the back I've got the hard drives mounted in the back and the front fans that you've already mentioned now what is kind of interesting here and I'm going to kind of show you this do glamour shots as I've gone ahead and installed the lower just power distribution block for the fans so the lower fans and the front fans are running off the same eight port power distribution block actually it's a ten port I think power distribution block so I have one power going into they're going to be using voltage reducers on these to slow down the speed of the fans that way we don't need to worry about the extra clutter of a fan control or anything like that slow speed is going to be more than enough to keep these beasts cool and it keeps things nice and tidy and as you can see there's very very little wiring showing whatsoever the fact that these fans already wired up and you see nothing either behind the tray or in the front here just goes to show how clean this build is going to be I've got the drain port installed on the bottom and it's got a t block on there which is where the rest of the coolant is going to go through and pretty much that's all we've got done so far here I mean I would have liked to have gotten more done but I just got the other parts I needed to get the rest of the tubing done like I said we're going to PE T G tubing rather than acrylic so I had to get that in before I could really go any farther all the LED strips are in now the extra fittings I need it in now the pumps need to be installed on the bottom and then we're going to start buttoning this thing up and getting it the hell out of my office because as much as I love it I'm ready for this thing to go so I hope you guys can kind of see now the way it's coming together my idea for this build I see it all in my head I hear voices in there too usually they're not much of a problem until they start seeing things saying things like you know kill kill kill ma ma mom stuff like that and every now they'd have arguments with myself therapist says it is getting better it's getting better but I haven't been taking my meds lately so shut up things I have left to do install the pumps get all the plumbing down on the bottom going on gotta bend a lot of acrylic tubing it's going to probably take me as long as it is that to get to this point it's gonna take me just as long to bend just a couple of tubes in here that I've got to do to get this together but it's all going to look good especially with the two color loop going on the way the lighting is you guys are just going to have to wait to see my vision like I said I stare at this case for hours at times oh no I don't get anything done no absolutely serious guys Miss J is walked by plenty of times and seen me just sitting here with my feet up on the desk just staring at this imagining what it's going to look like and planning it all out in my head it's kind of like the lego movie when they're building all the Legos in their head in that little in that scene when they're in dude's head it's kind of like that for me I don't draw it out I don't blueprint it I just see it and then I build it so yeah anyway I think the floating reservoir is is going to be a neat point and it's gonna be unique I've not seen anybody else do that especially with the backlighting on there that's gonna make it look like it's floating so you guys will get to see that in part 5 because that's going to be one of the next steps getting all the wiring and the lighting put in there and then the tubing and all that is going to be absolutely last so guys I'm gonna get on out of here hope you guys have enjoyed part 4 tell me what you guys think hopefully you guys see it the way I do and you can kind of imagine the way it's gonna look when it's done especially with the white and red loop independent of each other yet crossing each other it's going to look really good yeah it's still gonna be minimalistic some people had an issue like no no no don't do too much tubing because too much tubing is bad and this and that you you just have to see it when it's done you'll see it's gonna be exposed tubing but it's gonna be clean and straight and it's just gonna look really really slick when it's all done and that's it's not like a liquid cooling slick joke we're not talking about slick from Linus tech tips we're just saying slick isn't it's really cool yeah
