On a different subject, I find watching the CNC work a form of Mindfulness.

If Alex wasn't so amazing at this stuff, that moustache would be unforgivable.

Watching you build this computer feels like how I imagine sports fans feel when their favorite team plays a great game. I uncontrollably vocally cheered when you grabbed that box, absolutely brilliant!

that's a beautiful part you made. I really like the glass blast finish, and the chamfers afterwards make it look even better!

the glass blasting looks awesome

One of the most talented modders in this hobby. This build is one of the most though out I ever saw. All the techniques currently used is something that I will keep in my shortlist just in case I would need one of this days.

You mentioned your plate wasn't very flat, I'm a machinist in the UK and in low quantities you can get cast tooling plate from aluminumwarehouse that has been blanchard ground (approx 0.02mm flatness) over the size you've got there. Love the videos. @bit-tech

I love the way you mounted the PCB into the piece, that's a brilliant bit of innovation where you have the depth of material available. I don't know what your compressor setup is like, but you might improve things by fitting a larger air reservoir (remember to include a condensate drain). It won't increase the output in terms of volume over time, but it will give you longer bursts between recharging which might make it less restrictive. Big workshop compressors tend to have huge tanks so they can supply the instant / burst volume without needing quite as big a motor and pump.

If you wanted to get a bigger compressor for your workshop that's not too loud, check out the Chicago Hush compressors. They have silent motors running a piston on each end of it via direct drive, and come in various sizes with configurations of 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 motors.

I don't even know what that piece is for but it was super exciting seeing it be made, lol.

I’ve never been more excited for a notification, this build is gonna be GORGEOUS

I’m so glad I found your channel. I have just ordered a CNC and this is the exact type of stuff I want to be doing. I have a lot of catching up to do. Cheers

absolutely amazing content!! You put all the other so called “high tech” channels to shame.

no no, this looks way better than the aqua x570. i love it.

pretty stunning looking piece

I canceled every Abo I had with other Modders. Just following your work now. What a built until now. Wish to own one of your modded PC. Great Chanel.

Never knew PC building could be so therapeutic. Keep up the awesome work!

Dude, that panel came out so sick! Great call glass-blasting then doing the chamfers. I can’t keep my eyes off of it! Looking forward to more of this build.

Can't wait to see the final product Loving this channel I'm so glad I watched that EKWB build off!!!

Next time use a single flute countersink, preferably one made for aluminum. You will get a much much nicer finish on all the countersunk holes. Multi-flute ones chatter and leave those ugly looking lines.

This piece is jaw-droppingly gorgeous..

I always find myself watching your videos in the middle of the night. They are so damn satisfying to watch. Your voice, the music, the editing and especially the outstanding craftsmanship. A really great way to end a day. I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing more from this build. I absolutely love the pure metal finish 😍 Keep up the great work and stay healthy 👍

This build is so cool! Seeing a pc builder build himself a pc is so meta and so interesting.

Brilliant work.

im so hyped for this build

upi can get a big capacity (27-30l) belt powered twin cylinder (parallel) compressor, they cost a bit but theyre very fast and decently quiet

Cannot wait to see the finished product.

A beginning to a masterpiece!

The finish you're able to get using manufacturing processes in your garage is insane. Serious artistry, and rivals most high end commercial manufacturing. Subbed, and learning a lot from your videos, please keep it up! :)

Damn, that turned out beautifully! Can't wait to see what's next.

It's a work of art mate. Love your builds. Honestly inspirational.

very excited for the finished build :)

I think my manufacturing processes(for design professionals) book had an orgasm seeing this. love the build! Hope to put my design degree to good use someday and design my own case like this

absolutely love your videos, as someone who is looking at getting a cnc soon, watching all the different processes and finishes is amazing to watch, i would love to try the effect you used in this video for one of my own products when my machine is finally here and setup.

Really excellent work. Very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing!

I just watched a 3 minute ad about a "slap chop" ... No idea why, but i have no regrets

Alex! This is amazing!!

love your small footprint and your diy solutions! keep it up! you make a fine job...

Absolutely fantastic...keep up the interesting content. I have been eagerly waiting for a new vid on this build....amazing work

Another great video Alex...

That looks amazing and very well done. I will have to use that process with some of our new products.

Awesome progress and great quality part. It just kills me watching a whole plate of aluminum wasted. Maximizing stock is top priority in manufacturing.

When you make your actual glass blasting setup, you should put a little box in the corner of it that you can put a camera in, that way the camera is safe from dust.

Your skills are incredible! Really excited to see whats coming next! :)

As soon as I saw you reach down and pull that box up I was like “yesssss he’s gonna use glass bead blast media!” I work with blast bead 10 primarily at my work and it leaves such a nice smooth satin looking finish. Great choice for this build.

With amazing content like this coming out on this channel all the time I can't believe he doesn't have hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers.

You remind me of my mate, you're both very creative and talented and both make cool things. He has a large garage full of milling machines and laser cutters and all manner of things and fabricates one off cars and motors and things. I sent him your channel so hopefully he watches! I'm jealous of you blokes skills but I really enjoy watching you both work. Cheers!

This is going to be jaw-dropping! More updates, quicker!

I'm excited what will be the final look when this is finished. 🙂

Please consider adaptive clearing as amachining strategy if there is a finishing pass anyways C: Love your work. Really inspiring :D

Beautifully designed, masterfully crafted. This channel is my favourite of the week. TGIF! ETA: I only just ordered a bunch of EKWB torque fittings in black. Perhaps I should have waited for the new finish to become available...

saw those fittings on the ek expo live stream, very nice

When it was first cutting those leg slots I thought it was a runaway I was yelling NOOOO. lol

Nice !

eres un genio amigo saludosd e ecuador

I adore your intro ❤️

I´ve been looking forward to this!

#1 fan checking in!

wow, the contrast between glassblasted and the chamfers is gorgeous! i'm surprised you chamfered the recesses for the feet though. in my head i picture it possibly looking nicer with a seamless friction fit, but hey, i'm confident it'll turn out beautiful the way you've designed it.

That beard and moustache just looks gorgeous!

Hope that one day il be able to buy one of your art works 😊🎨

I would love to see you modding some SFF cases. Have you ever been interested in those? I feel like water-cooling a small case could be a nice challenge. I saw some awesome optimum tech videos, but I feel like you can do better.

dang those fittings are gorgeous. my wallet is whimpering....i think i'm gonna need some. just at the glassblasting rig reveal as i write this. i had a feeling you got one! awesome! its one of my favourite finishes too. a very worthy addition to the shop, janky or not. :-)

why dont you use adaptive milling strategy for the pockets? you could drastically reduce the machining time. Not only by going full depth (less radial) but also by faster cutting feed and spindle speed.

The finish of the aluminium surface is crazy. How are you doing this?

Awesome piece of machining and finishing! Very impressed. I own a HighZ 720 and keen to know what your fixture plate is made from? I have been thinking about making one for far too long!

Beautiful piece of kit that is! The build is going to look so damn good! How many hours do you have invested so far?

After the builds are done you should do CNC Milling montages of all the parts

The gods at YT suggested you, Great work, sub'd Cheers

Alex looks like a real man-cave with everything heavily growing up on his face lol Have a great weekend :)

will you do a review on the Bykski budget water cooling kit?

Buttery biscuit base

can you do a video on how to paint metals? like copper and nickel. I had some monsoon fittings that were white and i want them to be blue so i tried painting them with a rustoleum spraypaint that says it's a painter and primer but it turned out really bad. so after about the third coat i gave up because it kept getting worse and i soaked them in canola oil then scraped the paint off and dried and sanded them and then soaked them in a cleaning solution and am now going to try primer and then the blue paint but i really just want a nice flat shiny finish and i really have no clue how.

Lovely project! What track did you use from the 14:29 mark...?

I have a slight feeling the large through holes with larger radius countersink aren't completely circular and/or concentric, at least the countersink part.. Misleading reflections? Did you run into any problems with clamping or alignment? Nice machining nontheless :) Keep it up!

When you gonna upload the next part 👀 ?

Curly beard when

Alex, what are you using as a waste board on your cnc router? Cheers.

What CAM program are you using, sir?

Hello, What software will you use to design and your CNC?

I am going to need more, sir. And fast, please! Seeing that milling machine working on the aluminum is like porn for me.

Why not make your own blasting box? Use acrylic panels

Thumbs up just because you say "aluminium" and not "aluminum".

which is the name of cnc machine ?

Can you give us the complete set of drawings,I want to make this

It's not janky till it has duct tape holding it together!

Heh, interesting to see how using the lathe will turn out. turn. huh. huhuh. get it? :P
