jiae's two cents here redness is done in fact I'm so happy it's done I even got dressed up for the occasion and I put on a nice shirt but I am still wearing gym shorts but that doesn't matter because you can't see that anyway but I figured what better way to end the series than with a Q&A session from you guys I asked you on quit Twitter if you had any questions about why we did something or why I didn't do something then ask it away because I figured it'd be good to talk about it why we did the build the way we did why the hell did it take four months today's video is brought to you by mass drop and right now they have a drop going for the white fox keyboard if you're a typing enthusiast and the white fox keyboard is definitely meant for you this 65% keyboard is fully customizable including switches key caps layout and with its CNC and dies aluminum case is sure to give you years of typing enjoyment to learn more about the white fox keyboard head to mass drop using the link in the description below so before we get on with the Q&A guys I'm going to go ahead and give you a little bit of eye candy you guys like watching the loops get filled I like filming it so let's go ahead and check out the eye porn or PC porn or whatever you want to call it right now you you you I think one of the most common questions I get asked is why in the hell is this taking so long even though this is a client build I've actually become friends with the client now note him known him for several years you guys remember back in 2014 I did the first version of this with the ASUS Maximus it was z87 with the 4770k and two 780ti x' and since then he decided he wanted to upgrade the system and he didn't know what parts he wanted to go with so he tore the system apart himself he took it all apart before he brought it to me he literally brought me a case and that was pretty much it he brought me a case and the radiators he had already purchased so all the parts that it took to build this thing came in along the way so it wasn't like the parts were dropped off as a mountain of boxes and said here you go build it I mean we he couldn't decide on which motherboard he wanted to go finally we chose on the x99 classified from EVGA he was pretty sure he wanted to do 980 TI s he wouldn't bought those and then as you guys know as time went on the ten eighties came out and he wanted those and that was really unfortunate because Nvidia didn't really give us any headway into the GTX 1080 time frame launch and I blame myself a little bit here because typically we saw Titans lunch in the spring and the 80 series cards launched more or less end of summer early fall and I thought that they were going to stick to that cycle so he even asked me do you think a new graphics card is going to come out and I said well if they do it more than likely be a Titan so let's just move forward egg on my face yeah it turned out to be the 1080 s so he took a loss by selling the 392 T eyes which were never used with the water blocks actually some of you guys on Twitter bought those I put them up for sale for him and we moved on to the 1080s which kind of leads us into the next kind of funny haha joke was the fact that we got the 1080 s we got the blocks on I got them installed and then in video with absolutely no notice says hey guys by the way GTX Titan X or as everyone else is calling it Titan XP because yeah so anyway of course everyone on Twitter was like now when is red Miska how much longer it's going to take now you can do to tight nexus in there and when I talked to him I said if you got if you if you tell you want to do tight Nexus I'm going to say no and I'm going to install two speaking spells I'm going to do it with duct tape and I'm going to send it home I'm be done I was be done with this build but no when we solve a $1,200 price tag even if there were a thousand dollars like the other Titans have been the answer's no he is not interested in spending that kind of cash I mean the two tight 1080s that are in here cost the same amount as one well just over one of those Titan X's it's a terrible cost to performance ratio so he is fine with that but he did stick with the 59 60 X although the the 69 50 X is out $1700 setcpu yet again price to performance on that is way out of proportion and wasn't even an option so we're happy with where we were we did this where we stuck with this and there's a lot of little custom things on here like the white this is a EVGA HB a high bandwidth bridge on there but I took the decals off I painted it white but the details back on wanted to match has the red logo showing lots of little things in this build that took a lot of time as you guys know from the last series or the last video we had to ditch to the glass we were having problems with the fittings we decided to do bends which I'm happy with the bends look really really good in there also too if you guys want to know a list of the main components in the system look down in the description there will be a link to PC part picker it's not going to have every single piece guys there are so many little things in here in fittings and and brackets and just adapters and extensions like the cables are custom made I can't even put those in PC part picker you know that those were sponsored by Joe over at modders Inc he built the he'd ll sleeping is that all the sleeping for me in the past so that doesn't really have a cost so it's not in there but if I had to guess how much the system cost this is probably sitting right around $6,500 on the tower itself so yeah I didn't if you guys want to know the parts look in the description those will be down there which is kind of funny first question here by Sean Simmons on Twitter how much you think it cost like I said probably about $6,500 if I had to make a guess cage and tear on Twitter says has he thought about moving to a different case maybe tempered glass funny story uh he was the first one to get the SMA 8 the first one I got to see in person it was his build back in 2014 and because of red mist was why I ended up with one because I fell in love with the case the size the amount of room in there for doing custom water cooling but again it's an acrylic side panel on there but we going to be getting both of us actually himself and myself when I do my build are going to be giving custom-made tempered glass side panels for our cases but we will be sticking with the SMA SMA 8 from K slabs Mike the maniac geek says if this was your build what if anything would you have done differently color case hardware etc it's kind of a that's kind of a trick question Mike because you know this case and this build inspired skunk works so skunk works was pretty much what I would have done the first time around to this and this has inspired some things I want to do with skunk works moving forward but they're gonna be very subtle and things you might not even notice on camera just little things about the way some of the fittings work or some of the way some of the adapters are or try and streamline this you know little things like that but overall skunk works is going to look pretty much the same - three tight next is I'll be putting in to 1080 Classifieds actually a little teaser there you guys have seen me put the blocks on the founders edition cards a spoiler alert I'm putting two 1080 classifieds in there and I'm not doing tight Nyx's from my build either even if NVIDIA sends them over which I don't think that they will I'm not going to put them in skunk works I'm kind of done with that level of hardware personally McDonald's fries while McDonald's tweeting me he says just curious why did you use mainly bits power fittings did read miss owner requests them or do you just like them bits power fittings in my opinion out of the highest quality the o-rings fit the tightest they the swivels don't just freely move you've really got a torque on them to get them to move they just have the best track record when it comes to not leaking and obviously when it comes to water cooling leaks are something you want to keep in check obviously Rory on Twitter asks why a white case when those parts are red and black black right now on camera you cannot see what we see in person though the camera does not pick up the lighting and do it justice whatsoever but the white case with red and black accents looks freaking amazing and it was part of the inspiration for calling it red mist the owner came up with the name the owner coupe the theme I just went with his request when it came to the build theme but the white case with the red accents in the blacks looks freakin amazing in person right now what you guys see like the motherboard looks all dark like it's shadowy but in person it doesn't look that way whatsoever so unfortunately it's just the way the camera picks it up yeah manty la mantle on twitter says what's the difficulty level for this project from a scale of one to ten I would say for me it was about a seven maybe a six there's nothing custom here there was drilling and stuff obviously in the case especially with the return line as you guys can see I I moved that from being a soft tubing going to the back of the case now to a return line here right above the reservoirs which still goes soft tooling down to the pump but little things like that that's not hard that's just drill bit with a unibit on there and making sure you get everything measured there's nothing super custom about this build at all in terms of like case modding obviously it's a custom build but difficulty level just take your time and plan and everything can seem easy from that point Apollo says would you build your personal PC like red mist yeah have you seen skunk work skunk works again I see a lot of comments saying things like red mist looks too much like skunk works no Scott works looks too much like red mist red mist was first and red mist was the inspiration for my build and remember red mist had inspiration from sniff also on the overclock net forms who does fan phenomenal builds and he did a very similar white and red bill to red mist so yeah there's there are there are inspirations for all over the internet for these builds it's not just like I came up with this I've I've looked at other people's builds and got an inspiration as well so obviously all of these systems are kind of related in some way mash on Twitter says is there any particular reason you've never used the photon d5 pump res combo I like the seamless tube style over the square I've seen it and it's a very very slick combo it looks amazing the problem is this is a very square case the square it has no real angles there's not there's nothing rounded about it so the square bottoms like a my system it look really really good unfortunately the pumps for him here are down in the basement and the way that this system has already built the way that this standoff that I've made here for the reservoirs to kind of look like they're floating do not not long enough to allow me to put the pump up top like I did with skunk works and still have clearance for the radiator on the top member with a little bit thicker radiator up top so that's one of the reasons why I do do it with this here but yeah it is a it is a very sleek looking pump res combo and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting at d5 and the cylinder res Jonathan on Twitter says there any particular reason that the owner needs the best parts or is he enthusiasts like yourself I kind of already said this that he isn't enthusiasts obviously only in enthusiasts would want a PC like this but this is not the highest end parts you can get I just told you there is going to be there are tight Nyx's that are coming out and negatively 1080 T is probably in the future don't know how far in the future but he's happy with the performance level he's going to get out of this remember I've already benchmarked to 1080 s versus my three tight mixes and skunk worse there is a video on that and these two 1080s come like right underneath the tight neck so the performance $2 ratio was really good there there's also higher-end CPUs 10 cores 20 threads $1700 so it didn't make sense but but you can't make a statement saying that there are best parts available when when they're not clearly Callum Barton says why didn't you go with a smaller case really it came down to just being able to fit everything in there comfortably we could have gone with a smaller case and it would have been very very doable but with a case this big and this much air volume in there and this much front intake fan the temperatures in this day ridiculously low very close to ambient because the envelope of which the air is moving through there is just so big it's also on those things where he has a desk very similar to mine a giant IKEA Galant system with a corn unit and extensions and he's got the room for it so why not that's the cool thing about PC building is there is stuff out there to fit every single flavor big cases medium cases small cases get what you like you know just because you like a small case doesn't mean he does and vice versa it doesn't mean either one of you were wrong either TM on Twitter says J I think red mist would look much better and cleaner if you move the long horizontal tube graphic to pump some of this one right here it's actually graphics card to reservoir nut pump to the bottom compartment one of the earlier versions of skunk skunk works had that where I actually had it come straight down and go through the floor over to the side the problem was with how big the case is it looked way too empty there wasn't nearly enough tubing in there to make it just look full if you will so that's one of the reasons why I did that because I just wanted to fill up that space but yeah I did try it that way but I personally felt that it was too clean if that makes sense there's want to show off some of the water cooling loop not hide it and then the last question here lo vas lo Vaz baton I know mutilating your name I'm sorry he says are you satisfied with the build I am satisfied actually I think it turned out a near-perfect nothing's perfect some of the bends aren't 100% perfect but then again when you're dealing with heat and bending plastic and try to make it all line up and eyeballing it like I do I'm never 100% satisfied with any build I ever do but the more important question is is the owner satisfied with it and I already showed him pictures and he is beside himself and can't wait to come pick it up in fact he's coming this afternoon to get it and that's why I got to end this video now because I got to get the operating system installed to get the drivers installed and updated for him so he could take it start installing his games and be done he's been waiting guys a long time and I've been waiting to do my build so that I wasn't rushing his to do mine so things had to happen in the order which they happened anyway you guys tell me what you think if you would change something what would it be remember there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to custom builds like this everyone systems is a reflection of their personalities and what they would personally do so although you may say you don't like something on here it doesn't mean that we did it wrong and it doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong and vice versa that's the best part about custom PC building do it how you want actually uh hold that thought I got mine notice I changed my clothes - I was actually wrapping up this video when it been changed out of that hot shirt and I realized I forgot to mention why we're using airflow fans down here although I have to go through this every single time I do a video when this PC was first built back in 2014 there were no static pressure 140 millimeter fans by Corsair and we specifically went with the Corsair fans because of the accent rings because we are running 140 millimeter radiator and it is a fairly efficient and high flow radiator when it comes to fans we're able to use the high flow or air flow fans rather without any issues whatsoever it's never been an issue in skunkworks it's also never been an issue inside of red mist obviously there are better fans out today suited for 140 millimeter radiators but again we want to stick with the accent color so that's really it comes down to aesthetics over function Atlee when it comes to the hundred forty millimeter fans but up top we are using the static pressure and we are using air flows for the actual case fans right here on the front and the back of the case so I just wanted to address that real quick because I know on Twitter I said I would did the video and forgot to mention it anyway that's why I've gone through a wardrobe change and stuff but anyway once again thanks for watching I'll see you the next one
