Fallout 4 ULTIMATE "Bomb Case" Build Log - Part 1 of 2

2015-11-10
welcome to the fallout build log it was said to not be possible to fit a computer into the bomb that comes with the fallout anthology but with determination and a really good 3d printer we're gonna make it work the mastercase 5 by Coolermaster gives you the freedom to truly make your mid-tower pc case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check out the link in the video description down below to learn more alright so this isn't a normal build log as you can probably tell this isn't a normal case with a normal case you can check what its compatible with and just order things that it's compatible with and put them in everything's fine this is obviously not naturally compatible with anything so there had to be some feasibility testing already kind of planned out the parts I've got a Maximus impact 8 I've got a tiny little SFX power supply from silver so this is the 300 watt kind of gate at 450 what about that later I've got an r9 Fury nano I have some low profile vengeance lpx I've got an SS the riser cable we'll talk about that stuff later I've done some planning but one problem is part of that planning involves being like well damn this thing is definitely too small if you look at it the usable space is tiny not that big and a lot of its curves which are not that usable for computer parts which are very much boxy so it needed to be extended I worked with Taryn and we 3d modelled some stuff so we did some test things first surprisingly and awesomely Tarin's first one actually fit quite well we did some minor changes to the fit and added some fitting tabs for these fake-o screws that are on the side also worked quite well so we moved on to the Jumbo the big guy this one actually makes it tall enough that I can fit all of my stuff now when looking at this it maybe doesn't look the greatest you might be like but Luke it's lime-green the rest of its not it's okay we'll get more to that later I'm going to try to get some color coated spray bombs which actually like match the green and the brown speckle that's already on here so we'll touch up the aesthetic there but for the rest of the build there's some plans but not all of them is planned and you guys don't have to come along with me for that so with this bill there has to be a balance between badassery and functionality and one of the most important things in my opinion with this bill to do with badassery is this button when you press this button right now awesome super quality that's great but I want this button to also turn on the computer I could have hooked it in in parallel on to the power switch thing using this and stuff but there's some voltage problems or something I'm not super great with electronics so I'm gonna solder in another switch how this thing works is it's a big plate that presses down onto another plate which has a button mounted in it so what I'm going to try to do is add another button so that this plate press down actually presses two buttons now I don't actually have another one of these spare switches that's where this hunkajunk comes in so this guy up at the top I found has very usable little tiny switch so I'm going to drill the rivets out rip this thing out separate it from these wires cut that off tear it out mount it into that plate solder it into the thing and then hopefully it works I might just break it oh yes I will just break it so it's actually just this module right here that I need it's okay you're probably editing this okay I think that open it up for me there we go well I'm salvaging this computer case I'm ripping out its switch and I'm using it for something else so if that's not fall out I don't know what is I just need two of the wires and I only need the ones that go to the actual switch itself one thing that's really cool that I got for this build is this tiny little low-profile SATA cable although the SATA connections on this board are right next to the RAM so it's kind of a problem but if I put it in the bottom slot down here and just kind of work the cable around the bottom of the RAM but above the PCI Express slot I can kind of make it come out just fine so this will work for my SSD okay so I'm just testing to make sure that the system actually works so this is the massive components that I have to get inside of the bomb got postcode nope there we go okay so I don't have a keyboard or anything installed but as you guys can see on the monitor honestly that's good enough the system works so moving on I need to turn this off then I need to wrap my switches things around these poles maybe I can't wrap it around can I get a helper go hey hey okay so now I need to solder this in place so it's not just held by me thank you helper colton you can go back to doing whatever you do and we're good to go theoretically it works so now as long as I don't massively screw up everything by my terrible soldering job we're good okay so my horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible soldering job is done and turn the power spy on doesn't automatically turn on that's a good thing press the button yes okay the button works I need to find a way to mount this little box on the plastic plate that is already in there and already has one switch seem to add another one god I'm happy that it worked this one has a lot more travel time than this one does this one's a very shallow press also the button swivels on a fixed point on the bottom I would like to mount this as high as possible but there's stuff blocking a tall mount in here's the ideal location is where this random kind of plus symbol post is gonna have to try to remove that and then drill through it and see if I can mount something right there might not want to show that it's like not a proper way to use a drill just so Taryn knows I'm just going to hold my switch in the hole that I cut for it this represents if I like hot glued it in or something okay that did not work so if it works if you press like super deep need to make the hole bigger there is not that much time between now and when fallout 4 comes out if anything goes wrong I'm screwed I'm doing a lot of things in this build that could completely screw the entire build over I hope this switch works all right guys we're back in the office now one of the problems with painting this is that the surface is very different than the surface of the bomb the service of the bomb is super smooth this guy has flat walls because it's a 3d printer and it was printing kind of with some foot walls so I need to sand that down so it's a little bit more smooth this is going to take a little while so super speed time-lapse engage I'm just gonna tie a shirt on my face okay so it's largely sanded down this is filler primer so hopefully that will help kind of fill in some of the grooves that are still existing and we can get going one of the problems is is that the clearances on these things are actually pretty tight so I'm gonna try to tape them off and then we'll be good to start spray I've never spray primered anything before let's hope I don't super suck that would be a huge waste of time what do you think any problems that's a lot smoother I can already tell so we're gonna bring this in to try again then we might do it one more time so through the combined efforts of my triangle file and my large flat file I was able to open up that circular hole that I had drilled and make a square hole and the switch fit through I need to secure it got some hot glue that should be fine but there is one problem that remains it has to be so far out that I can't actually slide it in because it will interfere with the rim of the bomb so I have to actually take it out and then put the switch plate back in all the way and then fit it in why this is a problem is I have to hot glue it in a position that I can't take it out and that sucks that's super sketchy but anyways let's give it a shot don't touch it yeah that's pretty fast though thankfully okay so everything's put together if it doesn't work I'm gonna pull my freaking hair out let's try it it made the noise the computer turned on we're good to go moving on to other things alright guys this is primer coat number three it's starting to come along we might do one or two more another problem to be solved the power supply of this rig will be going into the top of the bomb up here I need you to be able to plug into it into the bottom of the bomb so I need to create an extension so I needed a right angle connector with a favorable inlet so what I did was I got a right angle cable and I cut it in half without the camera being turned on and then the plan is to strip off the end of this splice out the wire solder the wires into this guy mount this guy into the bottom of the case plug this into the power supply and voila so here we go okay so connection one is done just like my other jobs a little sloppy but it'll do Wow that one was like probably my best one okay so electrical taped up my little thingy that I soldered together here so hopefully that looks better for one and hopefully it works that's what we're going to test now and with a whole lot of hope and it works a little worried what uh okay okay okay okay moving on all right all right this is our fourth and final coat of primer then we have to do a layer of black so I spray-painted a bug onto the primer okay so it's all primed we're ready to start painting as with basically everything else in this project I have no idea what I'm doing but we're going to start with black so this guy is black I believe lioness does know what he's doing when it comes to the paint stuff but and he was supposed to show me but he had to leave important business of some sort or something or other whatever so yeah he's not here so we're just gonna wing it that's probably way more black paint that I need but as I have no idea we're going to go with that now Linus said to roll down on this thing towards the paint after dipping it in the paint for two minutes but I'm kind of assuming that he was exaggerating a little bit because he thought I would naturally do it I'm just going to go for like a while okay you have to look at things so I just shoved two round B batteries inside of the thing so that it wouldn't move when I press pain on it and they fit perfectly but so I think the two minutes of squeezing the pain out of it was a huge exaggeration oh my god why is this so bad and what is that pattern when you take all the pain oh the brush you need a lot of pressure behind it apparently so that's why I didn't work right away logitech has been in the headphone game for a really long time and it shows with the g6 33 Artemus spectrum headset the g6 33 is equipped with Logitech's 40 millimeter Pro G oo D Oh drivers 7.1 Dolby surround sound with Logitech Gaming software a cardioid boom mic which hides away very nicely actually fully adjustable RGB lighting and custom tags they're available from a variety of retailers now including Amazon will be a great holiday gift for your PC Xbox or ps4 gamers or just a great pickup for yourself if you're looking for a new headset check them out in the length of video description down below ok so our first coat of black is done honestly it looks pretty ok there's definitely definitely areas where it needs more paint so we will definitely definitely have to do another coat but for now we're gonna let it dry so I'm going to take it inside so there's a little bit of a warmer climate at this time of night in the unheated warehouse it's like borderline too cold to even be painting so I need to take it into the office that I can actually kind of warm up so that I can dry okay you you
