AQUACERAS Part 6 - Machining the CUSTOM IO Rear Panel | bit-tech Modding

[@Thetache]

Amazing that people who just plug stuff in and piss about with cables and RGB strips have more subscribers than this channel where you actually design and make such fantastic original components. Biggest compliment I can give is you make me want a CNC machine.

[@blownfuse26]

Agreed. If I had the same levels of funds as the levels of inspiration these videos give me, there would totally be a CNC machine at my house. lol

[@GF3HG]

It's so obvious who you are talking about haha.

[@AlphaMachina]

Well said, and most definitely true. The guy has skills and some serious design and machining chops.

[@andrewj.682]

ckc Belove are you talking about one single KZbinr? There are MANY Many many.

[@zaiikgo3377]

I totally agree but Its because more people have access to do that because not many of us have a high end cnc machine and lots of time and money

[@theusedbox]

I run a machine shop at a proton cancer treatment facility with 11 year in the trade. And a avid pc enthusiast. I absolutely love your videos. They blind 2 of my passions.

[@ChevySSR]

This build is looking so good, I cant wait to see it finished

[@technitout4141]

It's a legit crime that this man has not reached minimum 500k subs.

[@blackmennewstyle]

I'm watching this from my 34 degrees Celsius morning in Samut Sakhon (Thailand). Watching a bit-tech video on a Saturday morning has became my routine to start my week-end on the right foot :) Amazing series of videos, absolutely love it! Have a great weekend guys :)

Haha same, it got uploaded as I was going to get lunch

[@prkr1163]

Josh Hodder dude same i was legit getting L&L as it came out so i moved to my car and watched it while eating 😂

[@Buciasda33]

Crazy system and crazy amount of work... The ideea of CNC Milling my own PC Case never crossed my mind... The more I think of it, the better it sounds, but... it's a lot of work...

[@longnamedude3947]

This whole project inspires so many people to do more! For me it provides the confidence to push forward with both modifying an existing OEM chassis I have, and, Continue designing and brainstorming a custom ground-up modular chassis that I plan to build in the future! Thank you for the hardwork and dedication that you put into both this project and the videos themselves, as well as the many guides and tips + tricks that you have covered on PC Modding/general DIY stuff. I wish you all the best, and a very many thanks for a fan of the channel :) Peace :)

[@michaelhughes9278]

that seriously blew my mind! i would love it if you put some of these items that you make in your merchandise store to purchase that would be really cool! like modified distro plates and modified case parts.

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

This is genuinely the best build series out there, I've come across so many but always got bored of them, this is simply entertaining, coming from and engineering background really makes me appreciate tmit that much more.

[@The1PatSmith]

Insanely clever and encompassed by brilliance. Alex, you are a true marvel with your machinery and ability. Thank you, I can't wait for the next installment.

[@DMonZ1988]

really cool to see behind the scenes a little. gotta say, its not how i pictured your workshop...you often say its small but it really does look bigger on camera! i finally believe you, and you're even more of a legend now for getting your beautiful work done out of that space all these years!

[@bittech1]

DMonZ1988 Going to be such a weird feeling when I eventually get a larger place

[@DMonZ1988]

​@@bittech1 well i'm sure you'd have an easier time, but neither your projects nor videos are wanting for ANYTHING. i can't imagine the magic you'd work in your dream workshop. you certainly deserve it and would put it to good use, so i hope it happens for you. where are you based? i know a few lovely creative people with shared workspaces in brighton and london. (as in, they are property guardian buildings with workshop and studio spaces and they each have their very own lockable portion of the space for next to nothing, not 'who's seen my allen key?' shared tool sharing mayhem). could be something to look into, it works really well for them.

[@DMonZ1988]

yikes, 0.2mm clearance! with the sun blasting in i'd imagine success or failure could depend on the time of day, and a single step of your motors probably isn't far off that! that is scary. damn Alex; you're something else. congratulations. it looks like it worked flawlessly and its amazing to see some parts come together! my mind is blown.

[@Diabolotherium]

this cat is putting the so called "big PC water cool tubers" to shame!!! - love it!

[@olle_ronny2464]

I love watching your Videos because the whole DIY stuff is just so great. When I'm watching multiple videos in a row your Videos are the last one I'm watching because the best comes at the End ;-)

[@kazolar]

I didn't realize everything you've been doing here is on ER11, that's very impressive. Fact that you're able to pull of the level of precision and size of parts is absolutely incredible. My small CNC has an ER11, and I can't even imagine doing the type of machining you are doing here.

[@dangingerich2559]

Your work amazes me. You have every right to be proud of that. It's beautiful and impressive.

[@I_ammm_mojojojo]

beautiful design and machining work. I miss my days at the machine shop.. 1 day I'll buy myself some cnc equipment

[@Hubukai]

I absolutely love watching your videos. The Percision that you work at is amazing. I do like the CNC videos as well. Very well done. You make precision computer equipment as well as a watchmaker

[@jackflash6377]

Just found this channel on the video before this one. Great work !! Really like the direction of the project. Wish I had time to make something like that. One tip: Use "conventional" milling when doing chamfers or any other finishing cuts for a better finish. (Especially when you start cutting acrylic) Second tip: Correct the run-out of your end mills with a tenths indicator. Won't help with the single flutes but anything higher and it helps in many ways, reduced chatter, smoother finish and higher accuracy of parts, especially when using cutter compensation. If you need instructions on how to do that. let me know. (Yes, I own a machine shop) Keep up the good work!! Can't wait for the next video.

[@here-be-ember]

Incredible how detailed your work here is, I'm impressed. Something you might want to consider to fit the silver color of the whole build is electroplating the brass connectors for your distro-plates with nickel, it's a fairly simple process.

[@Soverax]

I've been following this closely. By far the greatest project you've endeavored so far, imo. Everything you do is so well finished that it's mesmerizing. Can't wait for the live stream :) Bless you!

[@01uncledre]

You have got some serious talent..can't wait to see final outcome

[@korneliuspgk527]

The idea of a radiator connected straight to the distro is really interesting, can't wait for the next video and live stream.

[@sijumosa]

Another week, but same conclusion.... what a fucking awesome artpiece... Sorry but dont have other way to express that, its unbelievable the level of your work !

[@Delistd]

Absolutely fantastic. Wonderful job. I am always impressed with your work. Screw modding when you can fab from scratch!

[@Bugnarok]

15:33 clean cut for every IO, love it

[@kuruchi]

that sandblast finish is just tasteful

[@aarondcmedia9585]

I am a big fan of the chamfer post bead-blast. Turns out so good.

[@bittech1]

Aaron DC mediA I can only imagine how good it could look with an MCD chamfer mill 😮

[@aarondcmedia9585]

@@bittech1 you could run one in that Kern you have your eye on! But seriously, have you seen any Grimsmo Knives videos on their kern setups set? Out of this world. Might need a slightly bigger shop though mate. Build is looking brilliant, looking forward to the rest.

[@grahamdodson9277]

Alex, love your channel. The content and videos are top notch. I had one thought when you were mounting the back plate to the base plate-why not make some custom brackets versus those little blocks to join the plates together. Seems like a good opportunity to add some detailing.

I’m interested with what you are going to do with the radiator. I think it will be cool to see how the direct plumbing will turn out.

[@CrustyAbsconder]

It would be interesting to see a motherboard manufacturer make a giant motherboard that is designed specifically to display as a work of art. The memory would be spaced wider apart or have some kind of giant memory card that is decorative. And have more PCI slots or more things on a larger I/O panel. Maybe have physically larger NVMe drives that can be decorated.
