I built a PC, but it moves

[@Ideal_Idea]

EDIT: I am changing this comment from a FAQ to a link to the behind the scenes video. Airflow? Sound? Digital files? If you have a question that wasn't answered in this video, you should hopefully find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXutaJaZZ6aMf68

[@Prim1itve]

If you are interested in improving airflow, see if you can mount two 140 mm fans on the top of the case. Not sure if you have enough clearance within the case but it would improve the amount of air intake you have tremendously. I wouldn't move the front panel fans to the top though as it'd mess with the lighting effect on the front panel.

[@Ideal_Idea]

​@@Prim1itve This is a good solution and you're right there is plenty of space up there currently. I will definitely add those if the airflow ever becomes a problem.

[@MrQuickLine]

For the sound, you can get silent stepper motor drivers which may help. Also, that looks like a *really* beefy motor for what you need. You might be able to get away with using a smaller motor, which may or may not help.

[@javisolis2568]

Instead of sanding the acrylic, I'd recommend some frosted etched vinyl. you can probably get some scraps from a sign/vinyl shop for a piece that small. They may even lay it for you. It'd take like 2 minutes.

Absolutely INSANE. Clicked on these thinking it was a Howl's Moving Castle PC situation haha.

I loved being carried through your R&D process of what you were trying to accomplish and what you immediately thought of to solve it even if it didn't work out. Anyone could just "delete the footage and pretend like it didn't happen" like you said in the video, haha. However, overcoming trials and tribulations is what makes for good story-telling. People that try to sell themselves as knowing the answers to absolutely everything are simply not as entertaining to watch. Incredibly impressive work and although you "aren't a mechanical engineer", this is the power of gathering knowledge and just executing to accomplish something. As a software engineer, I can tell you right now that your ability to design and build makes you an engineer. Keep it up man!

This is absolutely awesome; however I'd point out from computer safety point of view you should redesign all of them so that they give better airflow, as the intake on a computer is the front, not the top (The top is a radiator mount for output) - so with these designs as they currently are, your computer will be getting much less airflow than it should. For the first design, that's gonna be as simple as changing the acylic panel to have struts instead of being one solid thing.

[@DMonZ1988]

hey dude. its a massive treat when you post a video, every single one has been so interesting and impressive. the kinetic panels look insanely good, well done! it really is a special effect even greater than the sum of its parts! (and thats alota parts!) i don't want to break your heart, but given they work around a single motor just continuously turning at a constant RPM, you could literally just have plugged a 5V motor into a USB port. no controller, no programming, no nuthin. just finding one with the right RPM or a gearbox/appropriate gearing in your mechanism to make it go the speed you want. but hey, i'm sure you learned alot and saw it through for a phenomenal result, and theoretically you can couple the motor speed and direction to various things now, like game FPS or something.

[@Ideal_Idea]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video. I am sure there was a better way to do the motor lol. That is good to know if I ever want to expand on this idea or mess with other electronic stuff. The main reason I went this route was to provide a variable speed if I needed to change it between panels but tbh your solution would have probably saved me a month of work if I had known that off the start and planned for it.
