Personal Rig Update 2012 Part 11 Test Fit & Finishing Touches Linus Tech Tips

2012-12-20
okay it's personal rig update 11 times so I've made a few more changes to the case and I'm actually starting to put it back together so I want to do a complete dry run with the system assembly before I send it off to be powered or coded last time I got this case powder-coated I actually forgot to send this piece this piece and one other piece I think it was this one up here to the powder coater so I ended up with a few silver pieces left I don't want to make that mistake again I also want to make sure that all of the cable management holes that I've cut are going to actually help me so the cable management holes I've cut since last time or this one for the front USB 3 well I've also cut a hole in the bracket for the front USB 3 doodads so this will be powder coated as well don't mind the ugliness so that'll be there I've also got some cable management holes in the back of the motherboard tray here so this will help me get things like the eight pin things like power cables for my drives this will be great for bringing things like 24 pin up to the front and then this will be great for things like the fans for that radiator that's going to be in the front bringing them down to the basement to get power so that's the reasoning all those I've also expanded some of the cable management holes that I put in the motherboard backplate so let's go ahead and put this in oh wait for it that's usually a good sign there we go okay so in addition to the CPU cut out I did last time and yes I have sanded these down they're not going to cut me or cut my cables I've added a hole here which bring up the 24 I was going to bring the 24 around this side and I still may but my wife advised me that it should come this way in order to not look as ugly and then this is for SATA if I ever do you say de this is for my front i/o so yes dry build time without powder coating and yeah my battery died so anyway test fit time I've made a little bit of progress on it per popular demand are as whatever by popular demand the 24 pin will not be going around the t-virus it will instead sit right about there next to it however that does leave me with a bit of a challenge for what to do about the PCIe cables because they're not really they were designed to come out wider the way that I did this leaving I would have done them yeah would have done them differently if I'd known that I was going to be doing something different with those like maybe I would have I could have done twos and twos this way and then brought them down here instead or something like that but right now I really really don't know what to do with them really pleased with how this is going to look once this is black and it doesn't contrast as much so I can get all of my SSDs on the back data no problem I got a wide in this hole up here or well whatever you can't see that but I don't know how he pointed at this in the other video that I shot but ya gotta widen that other than that I'm very very excited about this build now that it's finally coming together it's just time to clean everything off and get it powder-coated so stay tuned guys and don't forget to subscribe - tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos
