this right here triggered someone I uploaded this shot basically on Twitter and said something about cable management do you prioritize it and someone on the social media platform became very upset I don't know if he was just having a bad day I'm not gonna call him out by name or you know I don't want you guys going there harassing or anything like that but he was very standoffish up front about how you know this thing didn't exist right this this whole clear transparent panel even on the left side he was talking about how pcs used to be completely enclosed where you couldn't see on the inside and I made a comment and when I uploaded the picture about how pcs are a form of art at least for me and and I would hope that other people when they build comparable systems would take the time to make these look nice I didn't say it was a requirement obviously if you've built every week maybe you just want to get them out of the way you know then making things look very artsy isn't a priority but I was just really surprised that this person was so upset by the new trend in PC so I can't want to talk about that in this video now just so you guys get an idea of what goes on pretty much every day here this is the sexually an old mattress box this has all of my custom loop gear in it you know it fittings radiators CPU blocks graphics card blocks reservoirs all that's in this box I should have more of it in the other room all my fittings are there some of them anyway and then we have a couple like you know 90 degree fittings and stuff in this bag I try to keep things semi sorted so I know where I'm going and where to look for things I have that course PC I'm working on right now you'll see the other side of that in a second air cooler from an old build I just tore down that's the Thermaltake view 37 I reviewed earlier had a building that I took that build out this is the deep cool case today built in and reviewed a few weeks ago the building there is coming out as well this is our roughly five six hundred dollar build I was using you know I was hooking up a time monitor and running things that it's not an official setup or anything you can see I'm fairly organized over here right so I have all of my graphics cards and motherboards up you can see I don't have many graphics cards I've what do I have here have a 1070 I have a 1070 TI a 1080 TI and then a 570 and then a 760 I mean look I bought these three by myself right so no one no one sent me these three this one I got from EVGA this one I got from gigabyte this isn't even a car this is just a water block so I you know I don't have it like a graphics card supplier it'd be nice if I had one but I really don't and I kind of have to rely on my own you know business budget to get a lot of these things now motherboards I can pretty much get those you know at will but you know you can only do so much with a board you also have to have the CPU to go inside of it so I try to keep things fairly organized in the film room now the office is almost always clean this was much worse about shoot on 10 15 minutes ago I had to builds in here that I was taking apart this was my own personal build in the fractal define r6 this has now been torn down to just the motherboard and cables and power supply I'm still in the process of taking those things out you see a couple of the tubes that I bent from the custom loop are still on the ground I was pretty much doing everything on top of these little cubbies and I have a CPU cooler over there for I don't even I don't even know what reason there's a 7900 X CPU just laying casually on the on the desk there so the kitchen is where I disassemble all of my custom loop gear you can see I was doing dishes as well this is the pump the tubing the CPU block we have the graphics card here one of the two 1080s this reservoir from thermal tech check this out this is sorry about how loud that is this is pretty gross I don't know if you can really see it's gonna be this yeah that's gonna be difficult to tell on camera but anyway this reservoir has a bit of a green tint to it it's actually a thick film on the inside from the fluid so I posted a pic to Twitter a while ago showing that the fluid that I'd originally put in my r6 build was purple and then it slowly turned green which i think means is something either in the radiator or in the fluid itself was anodizing which is not good it means that it's out of picking up the metal and carrying it with it or its oxidizing right and that'll turn metals certain colors so interesting that it's green I don't think it's copper though because these aluminum rads are just that they're aluminum it doesn't really make sense and everything else is nickel-plated so unless it ate through the nickel which I highly doubt then something in these rads was yeah causing some weird issues with the fluid so I wanted to show you all of this to really give you an idea of the the kind of time that it takes to build and teardown and build again these pcs I don't do this because it's a part of my job in fact I could probably build one PC a month and still have successful channel just because I feel like our channel in particular is more like an informative Channel so if I shifted to just that I would do it I just don't like to learn all the time you're probably Wow Greg actually said dead on camera but it's true I really don't you know I get it just gets boring after a while I like building pcs that's where my free time goes and that's why I'm always tweaking things I'm always you know if I'm changing one or two things in a build I'll be happy to do it because it's just another form of art for me it's like painting on a totally blank canvas and just getting to be as creative as you want within your budget and that's why I have so many bills just laying around all over the place because I want to see what looks good with what works well with what you know from an experimental standpoint not just how good things look but how well they run together and that's why I'm always experimenting and trying new things with just a you know minor changes in the build itself and that's where custom loops come in this is one I'm currently working on to see more details in this in a dedicated video but this is basically like the pinnacle for a custom PC builder here if you can build a custom loop preferably with with rigid tubing if it requires more work and my opinion looks a little better then you have reached like nirvana when it comes to building pcs because you can be as creative as you possibly want you can have Ben's go any which direction be as creative with your with your flow direction and with your components as you want again within your budget and it's just it's a blast it really is custom loop building is expensive all the parts are extremely expensive but is it worth it maybe not from a performance standpoint but I would argue if you really value your work and you value being creative and just being different having a PC it looks different from every other PC out there then custom loop building is for you and that's why when this person openly disagreed with me on Twitter in response to a tweet that really wasn't offensive at all I was just you know asking do you value cable management or do you not you know why winces someone else was like well I build a lot of PC's and so I you know I'm always taking them apart I don't value it very much that makes perfect sense if you just don't care about it maybe you do have a completely closed off left and right side panel then you're not really gonna care about it much hi there right at least to the extent that it doesn't impede with your airflow but if you're going to you know publicly tell me that I shouldn't be able to do something because it's just not the way it was back in the 90s and the early 2000s then I'm going to publicly disagree with you I quoted his tweet and I said look dude there's nothing wrong with me using PC's to express myself they are my they're my canvases they're that it's my form of art and I don't want anyone else telling me what I can and can't do when I express myself on a blank slate like that he ended up deleting his tweet a lot of people jump to my defense which I appreciate it on Twitter but he I guess felt the need to delete it I don't really see the point of that right you're gonna publicly disagree don't back down off your public disagreement by deleting it everyone's gonna know that you either regret it or just don't feel the need to defend yourself any longer but with that aside I am still glad that this came up because it leads me to the conclusion of this very short video no one's gonna have the same opinion you're not gonna find any two people on earth who have the exact same opinions on every single topic out there especially when it comes to something like politics right any kind of political argument is bound to have some form of disagreement so with PCs it's kind of the same right you can at least appreciate the artwork without saying that you would do something or paint something or create something that looks exactly the same we all want to be unique in our own ways and there's nothing wrong with it doesn't mean that I'm an entitled millennial because I want to be different that doesn't mean that you know I was automatically born around the year 2000 that's ridiculous you can label entire groups of people you know by what you see on the news and what you see on online but when it comes down to it you are unique and if you strive to be unique you will you will be seen as such by your colleagues by your friends or by people who just watch your videos if you take the time to do something different people will stop and appreciate it maybe not everybody but those aren't the people you're doing it for you're doing it for the people who do appreciate your work you know when you're willing to just destroy three rooms of your house or apartment to build something like this because I had to take parts from other builds that we're already being used that's why the role horn down then you know the people who appreciate that kind of work ethic are the ones you want sticking around you don't want the people who are willing to bash you because you chose a case that has a transparent right side panel he even went on to say that desktops shouldn't even be put on top of desks I mean in that why they're called desktops so don't want to call this a rant I just wanted to state my case I want you guys to know why I do what I do why I enjoy making videos for all of you and why I don't just post informative content that doesn't involve creativity to some extent because this is what I truly love doing and look my custom loop builds on YouTube really don't get the exposure that I would like most of the time they get 20,000 views or so and that's really small in comparison to the number of subscribers we have on this channel so active views on those videos pretty low but I still do them anyway because those who do watch appreciate at least the work ethic and the you know the craftsmanship that goes into building something like this I can't wait by the way to start bending tubes for this one I don't know how I'm gonna run these runs run these runs wow that really came out well but I am still excited for the end result I always say I'm with these because I don't actually picture it all on my head before I start I don't know what it's gonna look like I don't know what fluid I'm gonna use yet maybe white I'm using white fittings so I'm sinking like an opaque white again with black components should be a nice contrast we'll see how it goes but stay tuned for that video for now I want to know what you guys think in the comments below is your PC or are your PC's if you have multiple pcs out there maybe you've built multiples in the past are they forms of art for you do you really care how they look or you just the kind of person who keeps them on the ground and doesn't really bother with them you have an ITX PC a full-size Tower do you have a transparent left and or right side panel I'd be weird if you only had a right side panel it's transparent but do you have something like that do you like to express yourself that's what I want to know from all of you guys in the comments below if you do like creativity goes when a thumbs up I appreciate it thumbs down for the obstacle a subscribe button if you have everything stay tuned for some informative topics here on the channel this is science studio thanks for learning with us you
