Being overly fairly compensated for your time and effort is a very powerful thing. The doubledown is that they were able to sell this video to a sponsor as well as be paid to make the case. Some qwik mafs in my head assumes those are the $5000 quadros so approx. $21500 in hardware alone then by how much LMG makes per video on average I would approximate $25000 to build this. and if you pay $25000 for something you wuld want the welds to be porno nice and not bondo filled painted over.

Obviously it couldn't move, but a case that looks like the tesseract models I've seen floating around would actually be pretty cool. Mount all the airflow bits on the outer cube, all the hardware bits on the inner cube.

[@vanitysfire]

@@Xanthelei have two sides of the outer cube essentially "sealed off" or otherwise isolated for use such as psu housing, hdd/ssd bay, and cable routing. Use one side for intake airflow and the other side for exhaust. Could make for an interesting build. But now that i think about it how do you work out using the mobo IO? Unless you put the mobo in the outer cube. But where's the fun in that?

[@Xanthelei]

@@vanitysfire I envisioned it as either a mostly-open bench style case, which would make using the mobo IO a breeze even with it on the inner cube, or having a single inlet for all the cables in the back panel of the outer cube and just manage the bajeezus out of it. You would have to have longer cables, and it wouldn't be easy to just swap out a keyboard or whatnot, but the effect would still be pretty cool. For the latter setup I was thinking the bottom and back panels would be solid and the rest acrylic/glass so you can see in. Personally I'd prefer the open bench idea just for the looks. Bonus points if it's not perfectly in the center/looks like the inner cube is starting a swing out. I'd have to find a way to keep my cat away from it however...

[@vanitysfire]

@@Xanthelei i thought about open bench or open-ish, but i also have cats and I'm not so sure about doing open bench because of well. Cats. Now you could possibly do a more closed case with raised locking panels. The inside all open for the sake of it. But the outside set with raised, swinging panel with a locking mechanism. Or still raised panels but uses paddd thumb screws. Think like how the Corsair crystal 570x is (it's familiar to me since i actually have one. Love it.) Can allow for working in some mesh screens for filtering. I would probably go wood frame as this would be an extremely ambitious project for cutting and welding metal.

Re: The steel plate instead of the aluminum. A simple solution is to still use the aluminum, but place a buffer between it and the steel.

World of tanks players when they hear "skills win battles not money" Hmmmmmmmm

[@lunacae18]

Anybody with friends who play world of tanks knows that sentence is a lie LUL

[@patrikjankovics2113]

As a 2.5k player(wn8 that is), I think WoT isn't the definition of "pay to win". Because, while you might think you died because the new fancy tank in the premium shop is OP, it might really not be, it's just the player that plays in it is really good, and you aren't that good, you make a mistake, you get punished(and you'd get punished with any other tank on the enemy side). If I'm in a lower tier tank, and I need to play against a Defender(OP prem tank), I'd still win given the player in the defender is a bad player. This is still very much a skill based game, nobody with a good premium tank will have more than 52 wr. Really good players(Skill4ltu, Dakillzor, TruVoodoo, etc..) all have over 62% wr, and not because they play OP premium tanks, but because they're very good players.

[@Slay1337pl]

@@patrikjankovics2113 ok, but do they play premium tanks?

[@natsume-hime2473]

@@patrikjankovics2113 It's very much the definition of pay to win, since premium tank users have a default unfair advantage over free players with no premium tanks. If you're in a lower tier tank versus a Premium one, say you're above average good and the other person is merely mediocre. They're gonna win. There's a good chance you can't even dent them. So yeah, while skill does play a role, you're still at a massive disadvantage playing without buying premium gear. I quit WoT in disgust when they introduced paid premium ammos. Compare that to an actually good F2P game like MechWarrior Online, which in it's current state you can compete easily without spending a single penny? Shows how trash tier mobile game grade awful the microtransactions in WoT are. Mind you I say that as someone who also plays Fate: Grand Order and even that's much more fair to free players than WoT is.

[@HeFromNorwayz]

What exactly can you buy with money in wot that you can't buy with credits ? It's a Pay to progress faster more than anything. I have played since 2010 and they have had some p2w moments. Like gold ammo only for gold and consumables for gold. It's only tanks like defender and poggetto that are "pay to win". They are better than an average tank of the same tier, but you still have to be able to think and breath at the same time to use them to the full potential. I see it's mostly the sub 2k wn8 players that complain about this. Don't let that imagineary barrier prevent you getting better.

So, there shouldn't be any sparks when TIG welding... The rust around your welds also indicates that you've got shielding gas problems... Check your back cap, check your collet for damage, check your ceramic and check your hoses, you've got quite a bad air leak. That's why you're blowing through etc. You won't ever get a good weld until you fix your rig.

Don't forget that he wasn't using HF to weld that aluminum which is gonna result in a lot of burnthrough and a bad weld in general. He also welded Steel onto aluminum which is a big nono because both have insanely different melting points and won't join together properly. For the record, sparks really only occur when the material is dirty or when your overfilling the puddle with the filler rod.
