here it is guys in all its glory this is DAF ja ja I am joined by Ethan from tag mods how you doing good man stuff great guys this was a build that took so long it was honestly too long to make this build and today we're gonna go through the behind-the-scenes story about Darth Jar Jar because Ethan basically did all the hard work when it came to doing a custom mod like this because there's so many different things that he's gonna explain today that went into this build that I'm not capable of doing and it's just been the final product obviously came out so well that I'm just looking at this like yeah because we got to Zeon's inside 2 X 56 90s which are the best x58 Zeon's you can get there overclockable they represent a day and age when manual overclocking was so good CPUs weren't locked and also it is a dual socket CPU motherboard which is very rare this is the SR 2 now we did pick this up from a donation from a viewer called ilknur over in the USA a while ago over a year ago now and since I got that I knew I had to do something super special with this build and I owed it to you guys as well as to ilnur to do something phenomenal like this and so Ethan was a big part of that another high five and today what what really I guess we're gonna go through the scenes because I went to pax Australia and that's when I teed up with Ethan I posted a photo on Twitter and Instagram I think where I had this case go through customs and it's just like he's literally just chucked it on Jetstar tape because the whole thing with his bill was was that we I've always been busy at the studio here it's a one-man band it's always been such a challenge to keep getting content out because the way YouTube is it's it's really do or you know be finished yeah and you can't say that word on YouTube nowadays the word you know the saying yeah you get since you get censored so that's the way YouTube is and so the whole climate of YouTube is that you have to keep making content if you don't make it you're gonna fall off and so something like this takes a lot of time to do and crap and so it's good that we finally got into this and did it but it all started out with packs and we just chucked the whole building on the airport naked and it did it worked and they got through to Ethan we also brought the sr2 down with the dual CPUs the memory and then we went to Ethan's house in Geelong and that's where it all started so yeah so well the case was in a little bit rough condition so the first thing I had to do was to kind of clean it up and the front panel couple issues we fixed all that up but the hardest part of the actual entire build was getting the sr2 in the case because it's a being the jewels like a motherboard it well looks like well extended extended the motherboard tray it was existing in the case so to fully cut that out basically and got pretty much entire inside of the case which made it super structurally weak so the whole case which is wobbling and kind of falling around everywhere so now does it build a fool like reinforced panel on the back just to hold the motherboard well the thing about the EVGA sr2 is it's not even an extended ata it's like a special yeah so it doesn't bigger it doesn't have its own technical size or I'm actually not I think it's like it's bigger than extended eight yes that's why they learn extended ATX because this is an ATX case it was just this mammoth motherboard and of course you don't want to go with a like ginormous case like something that's literally told as Indy or something like sorry it's just too massive I one thing that's 11 or not portable wait even though this case weighs in it like 30 40 yeah 40 kilos even though it's like 40 kilo it's really heavy it still is technically portable you can carry around you've got up you can pick it out watch out for the hernia and this is so yeah it all began when we took it over to Ethan we were essentially Ethan has a lot of power tools a lot of custom gear at his place and so funny stuff yeah and so from there you were you were essentially cutting out all this case getting it ready for the SR 2 that was the first step that was the hot spot and during that time I was prepping the graphics card the GTX 980 Strix yep and of course that was a secondhand gravis card just like the motherboard CPU so and a lot of these parts were secondhand yes so if you haven't watched the feature video guys I'll put the link up here where I explain all parts and what went into that build it was the showcase of the SRT but after we got all those the GPU ready you wanted to vertically mount it yeah oh I felt like we kind of had to because with the SR 2 filling up so much of the back space they left by the entire front quadrant of the case super empty so having a GPU horizontally would have looked really weird yeah I'm not really where that just would have looked empty so rather than trying to fill up the space with something else we just vertically mounted the GPU it also allowed a lot more freedom with the pipes as well so it allowed the strong little piping in a nice more uniform way rather than kind of everywhere so basically with the the dual CPU configuration was that something that you tackle a lot or this is the first time I look good so this is the first like full custom modern dual CPU build yeah this is the only jewel white motherboard I've ever seen actually that that makes this build even that much more specialized I really that actually makes me happy as well because Ethan has done how many custom builds have you done so far the big quake cure at PAX was build a hundred hundred over 100 custom mods guys and these aren't just like this is the thing about these mods these are not just your standard parts off-the-shelf mods these have a lot of custom like at the back of the case here we've got a custom slash with LED lights to really highlight that cut and inside here we've got everything's just custom maybe everything's custom built from the power supply shroud to all the acrylic work on the front on the side so yeah so in order to do that you need to put a lot of extra work into your builds right yeah it all takes time I'm kind of in that point now I've done that many it's kind of a Wailord machine yeah I can just kind of wing it more or less and know exactly where parts need to go and just how things work now so yeah it all becomes second night yeah I know the limits in the material and my tools and my kind of stuff so most of it doesn't take too long to put together the hardest part is coming up with a design that has a nice flow across the whole thing without having like random parts pop out more than they should and I kind of stuff yeah definitely yeah it simply so what was the most difficult part of this build would you say when easily man in the motherboard basically he had yet the religious I had to destroy I think we have some footage of that dummy oh we've got a lot of footage yes drawing the motherboard I actually we - what happened was in pack souls at Ethan's for I think three days and so yeah so we're working on this bill for three days before I had to leave so by the time I left I'd taken a heap of footage of what we'd done we cut out the case we did install the motherboard got the GPU ready we'd also got all the components and everything else ready the radiators and sort of lined up the build on what it was going to look like and then after that Ethan added all the custom touches and did the hard line tubing as well as all the fittings and so I guess in total how long did this build take to complete from start to finish like in actual work and my actual manpower probably around the 50 hour mark so there's been actual work yeah 50 man-hours so that that's actually really good the result is that's pretty low end for one of my builds to be honest yeah that's actually really really efficient so you can see the Ethan's overdoing after doing a hundred builds it does become second nature and things like this can get complete now with a 782 what do you think of this case and working in it like this is my second modern 780 thank you there's no there's a 760 T is the Zelda build the 780 T was the Serenity boot ok that's what the 782 was somebody in the surrounding to build for client 18 months ago so in the 780 it was is on a similar wavelength we did all my budget castle metalwork to it it made it look like a serenity shape was the light busted and beaten up so with all the patchwork panels so we did a bunch of that across it but it's because of the freedom inside the case it's pretty chill to work in if you've got everything comes out really easy Corsair cases are generally super modular in that respect yeah although you 5.25 bays and like I just kind of come out there not a huge pain in the butt to remove a lot per minute they're all like modular and screwed in the rather being fully riveted so it all kind of pops out really nicely and then beyond that you have like this huge empty open canvas to mess around it so yeah out of trying to make it look full without it looking too chaotic glycin going to do is I put in yeah MITx board in a full-size case it looks ridiculous we still kind of it did kind of look like that and I was worried about that looking empty especially with the board taking up so much to the back because generally you put like a feature piece in the front cut here but you can't do that cuz in the motherboard because the motherboard literally has like 70 mil we from the front of the case because it just comes all the way up yeah so it's actually in for the res definitely so we've got a total of 360 mil at the at the top and then a 240 at the front and so that really I guess the it just adds to the whole build the 240 is that dedicated towards the graphics card and then the it's all in the one loop so somehow around the pipes so we go from rad to GPU to the res to the rad and then through both CPUs back to the red okay and so that is very interesting for me personally because having a custom water loop now in the studio where I'm gonna use this thing actually for streaming and use it on the stream desk because I've always wanted to have a dedicated streaming PC this thing's gonna be not only a symbol of techie air city now it's also going to be a real good sort of I guess useful PC in there yeah hopefully and of course we're gonna be overclocking this thing getting the most out of it in the upcoming performance video I'm gonna be spending some quality time with this build really extracting the most out of these X 56 90s and also this gravis card I'm really looking forward to doing that of course dual CPUs do have their limitations it's no no secret there they're not as can have lag and have issues with certain games and stuff but I'm really looking forward to using this PC and in in closing I guess behind the scenes what was the most fun part of this build I mean the Foner's would have been the slash I reckon because I gotta have a bit of fun with fire but fun with the angle grinder there like my two favorite tools so you did have a lot of fun yeah I always have fun yeah I always have fun okay well naturally you want to enjoy like when I build use PCs and stuff like a lot of people say ah sometimes like in America I didn't make much money on the builds and people like I wasn't even worth your time and I said I really enjoyed it yeah it was it's not always about the money yeah yeah it's not always about the money and so it's glad I'm glad to hear that Ethan's having a fun time with a lot of these pcs that he's building and that really like as me having some masterpiece of his work as well as having a Darth Jar Jar symbol here I feel like that is a really cool way to go now before we get on out of here we're gonna talk about Darth Jar Jar itself so okay now this is controversy of course for me personally the whole thing on Jar Jar with tech es city on the channel started when I found a mug on a used parts hunt in Japan I'd like I was just joking around there was three different flavors I think there was a Darth Maul and r2d2 and a a Jar Jar okay and you didn't know which one you got until you picked it up and opened it up sure and so I found one on the shelves and I saw the three characters the like please be a Jar Jar please be a jaja and I played that on the channels I knew people were gonna get triggered and so after that it was actually funny because it actually was kind of well-received people laughed at it people knew it was a joke yeah and I guess after that I had I got the mug and I used it on my channel people sort of took a liking to it no one really complained I mean people who did complain you it was a joke and and no one really hated it after you know like in fact when Star Wars was 1999 I think episode 1 was released not judge like Josh I was just as whole like oh I hate him I hate it I hate it like it is he nearly bankrupted a few toy companies I think like favorite toy lines everyone is hated jaja it was just yeah and I felt sorry for the guy I connected with him so and that's what I feel I feel like I connected with Jar Jar yes because I guess we've all been hated on some time in our lives and yes there's a dark place and that's why he turned to the doctor that's why I think he turned to the dark side and so I was like okay we got high like this in a custom build give meaning to that whatever started on the channel is a meme or a joke you're gonna give meaning to that now and we're gonna pay homage to the theory of Darth Jar Jar you know there's a full words pharisee theory now and then I believe it yeah I think it's totally true I read I read up about it and your research in like Episode one you see that jump out of the water and like the clumsy fighting technique and I can surf it's proven proven to be an actual is it Chinese or Japanese martial arts I don't remember exactly which but yeah and I read all it's thought of connecting the dots it was definitely and that is too many dots too many dots so let us know in the comments guys what do you think do you think Darth Jar Jar is real I mean it's real here at PC but what do you think about the conspiracy theory love reading your thoughts as always don't drop a comment episode 9 yeah let us know if he's coming back in episode 9 - but how do you feel like how did you feel that Darth Jar John the project is what other project the hold off Charlie I think I think is a good laugh whether they actually embrace it in the Star Wars Canon I doubt they will I know Lucas well I actually have one had a better direction for judge' and it was hated on that much that they were just like I will just chuck him in the Senate yeah so if I just kind of like yeah get rid of him but the project was great it turned out a lot better than I thought it would to begin with especially given it was buy more based on a joke builders I'm like yeah I don't really know how this will turn out yeah but once we got in especially with all the lighting the lighting really makes it pop because there's like eight meters worth of LEDs in here so yeah we actually had a problem with that we initially had to cut out an extra connection and we had to change a starter to a molex connection I had to solder that up because it wouldn't run off the one molex line itself will maximize our entre but we had to then draw off the solder line as well to help power these LEDs so that was pretty cool we did some last-minute touches here at the studio before we made this video and of course we've got the on top of the build another really cool thing is the techy air city fans as well which adds its own custom meaning to this build now they were sent over by a deep cool I've I collaborated with deep cool I've reviewed some of their products some that I've liked some that I haven't liked but they said because I just behind the scenes when I email and I'm really nice to them they asked us we're making some custom fans do you really want to have your logo on it and I said short I think some other youtubers got it like I've relaxed or I think some other new bishop has got their custom logos on the fans as well and I said to myself I had to do something special with this is really good because they're open air fans as well really cool design like there are you know living machines here so it's just a really unique design on the fans and had the costume tech year City logo I knew they had to go on this build and 360 mil right at the top it was just everything came together it was just perfect in the end yeah a whole project was streamline which is Brett generally things get wrong or things just don't fit but for the most part this build just kind of came together really and smoothly and well plus we use that's possibly used in the build a lot of used parts and everything's just yeah yeah everything booted straight away so I was worried about the sr2 board yeah it's got a bit of a warp in it from being transported around so much yeah it was it was pretty rough but we got there in the end and the end result I think is phenomenal I mean guys let us know in the comments what you think about this PC m-- what is your favorite part Ethan loves the rear slash I personally like this bottom bit here it's really impatient like it's for me it symbolizes that Imperial look I absolutely love it I think it gives meaning what is the design from the desktop handling yes we took it from and so I just love that bottom bit it really stands out for me it's my favorite part of the build and the dark judge art the fronts really cool as well I just I'm in love with this build I can't wait to be using it on the channel and showcase it for you guys and of course bringing up the performance video and with Ethan with tag mods where do we go from here what's the next build you've got planned the next big build will be Metro Exodus and Far Cry new dawn so they both do the fifteenth of fifth I cannot wait to see them guys if you guys want to check out Ethan I'll put all the links in description below his Instagram his YouTube is Facebook you mainly you mainly focus on Instagram and Facebook yeah yeah they're kind of my main two video content is something well miss to kind of start pushing a bit more and see it like hence the you know life as well okay so well definitely we're gonna definitely put Ethan's links in the description go check him out guys go support him and on that note while we're at it I want to see Ethan collab with some big people like we're not doing this is only the beginning Darth Jar Jar Wow I'd love to see someone like it yeah a Hugh Jackman Wolverine build or a Chris Hemsworth Thor build I'd love to be the guy videoing all behind the scenes and see you make their custom projects come to life or pewdiepie bro fist yeah that would be pretty something needs to come out of this like please Ethan skills are phenomenal and I think he could wide reach and make everyone happy with some awesome content this is only the beginning thank you so much man we do bro and it was like yeah it's all weird one ailes I got another high-five first now ya gonna do the brofist over there hope you guys have enjoyed this series coming out of this
