I Built a PC, but it's a fantasy tavern

[@Nerdforge]

For people worried about the thermals: they actually look great! Might not be obvious to people skipping through, but there are 3 separate floors, each floor has case fans near the windows making for a very efficient air-flow! Not to say it's an optimal setup, but the thermals are better than the off-the-shelf computers we used before!

[@jennaohara4593]

Hey you guys, this comment is getting buried, I suggest pinning it! Awesome build!❤ Edit: nevermind you got it 😂

[@captneckbeard1513]

Did you apply thermal paste?

[@TerrencePilgrim]

As a computer tech, I wasn't worried about the thermals. However if you have to work on anything regarding the motherboard, it's going to be a PITA to work on it, considering you have a large radiator with short wires and hoses fed through that hole. Good luck with that.

[@WhenGeeksCraft]

Maybe tag a good tech KZbinr, and ask them to have a look? :) My top pick would be Gamers Nexus. They're very busy though. But there's lots of other tech KZbinrs. :) I noticed that some of us had comments about the tech side of the build. But there is no way of knowing who is skilled or not amongst the tech comments.

As someone who has built more computers than I care to count, I think my favorite part of the assembly was you touching the copper pipes to discharge the static. Most people ignore this, and few know just how much damage static can do to components (ISO-9001 certification). Kudos on a great build. Welcome to the modding community.

[@anakay1184]

I don't know. Linus made that video about it where it was kinda hard tp break anything with static

[@Vladimir_Kv]

Static does almost nothing to the PC components as Electroboom and LTT did demonstrate. If something "had died from static" it wasn't static that had killed it, it was something else that was the reason for the death. Bad component, shoddy trace, damaged chip, etc.

[@ifelseprog]

@@Vladimir_Kv Yeah, but it's not hard to do and if it can remove any chance to break expensive components, I would always do it. Even if it's not likely to do anything.

It's a one-second step to remove a .1% chance of damaging a $100-1000 component, i.e. always worth it.

If you cycle the power once or twice without a plug in it does the exact same thing as "discharging" every step or "wearing a static band" which totally wasn't an attempt to sell people useless stuff.... in effect you could willfully try to build static into the part and the grounding of the psu would in essence negate it...

Great build! I would just advise, for such a "case", to make both fans suck in the air creating a positive pressure with a fine steel mesh (or so) as dust filter. If you have most fans blowing air outside, creating a negative pressure, all windows and small kracks and holes will start to collect dust. With a positive pressure only the two fans will get a bit dusty but all other places will just vent out warm air. Just some long term advice ^^.

[@ShadeAkeley]

Also need to mention that the power supply is "backwards". Than fan pointing inside the case is the "exhaust", it should be pointing outside (which, in this case would mean raising the whole house on some kind of feets)

Well it works and most certainly looks amazing, but she did quite a few mistakes. You usually finish up the motherboard except AIO and GPU outside of the case. The biggest oof is propably that she removed the cpu cover, which is supposed to pop out when you push down the lever, you can see it at 15:56 it's still there and after the cut it's removed. She also forgot some peels and only one intake on the MB/GPU compartment which is not even directed at the GPU is definetely not sufficient. The PSU fan is inside of the compartment and therefore relies soely on negative pressure intake which will suck in dust and is inefficient.

oh sure, it's not enough for the computer to be made of wood which is a flammable material anymore, let's add more plastic to it, it seems like a great idea

[@Davmm96]

​@@wsapalas It's a computer not an oven, wooden patios don't catch fire even if they are exposed to a scorching summer sun. Anyhow, your computer will shut down if it reaches temps deemed dangerous for the hardware, as my old ass AMD cpu showed me will trying to survive a gaming session in a hot summer night. Plus, many PC parts have plastics already (like the case of a graphics cards, the racks for some hard drives, the plastic around cables...) Unless you decided to watercool your computer with gasoline, there's really nothing wrong. Best exemple is how you can carry a computer in your pocket without it catching fire even though its completely in a plastic case (e.g. your smartphone)

[@wsapalas]

@@Davmm96 The question is not that it will catch fire, the question is if it catches fire, it is still an electronic component subject to failures, many modern Samsung cell phones exploded for no reason, so besides the question that the colder the processor works the better , there is still the question that if it has a short circuit or some fault it will not be wrapped in a flammable material, besides the wood absorbs heat, comparing a computer with a wooden patio is like comparing a car with a broom.

I was thinking to myself "it would be nice if there was lighting inside to look like fires" and then you set the lighting on the fans... perfect.

sis not only BUILT a pc, she made it look like a fantasy book like house where a family of wizards live. this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen anyone make. GREAT JOB!!!

[@AkibaAvenue]

I'm sure that you guys would win a PC Custome Contest if you Bring this masterpiece. Amazing work.

A wizard lives in that house, and he REALLY likes casting fireball.

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! 😲 3 weeks well spent!

[@roska6009]

My eyes: It's garden spade. My brain: It's a garden spade. My soul: It's a mic. Martina is so convincing that I get surprised her voice is still as loud as normally when she moves the spade further away from her mouth. Anyone else?

[@drekfletch]

I spent half a year thinking the spade was "hiding" a mic, that she was holding both.

[@jupamoers]

I think, she has a Lavalier mic attached hidden under her shirt^^

[@NorthoftheBorder]

At the 12:00 mark I was jacked to the tits about how awesome this building was. *Then I remembered that a computer is going to go inside.*

12:09 this looks straight out of a movie/game mindblowing goodjob really

[@QueenSimka]

I don't have enough words to tell how inspiring this is. If I ever feel blue and run out of ideas, I just watch some of your videos and immediately feel the urge to create something beautiful.

[@Cushingura]

Little Tip from a PC-Nerd: If you make a Video about PC-Builds, allways put the components into the desription. Now that this is out of my head, I can enjoy your amazing Idea of combining the world of two nerd related topics.

[@Cushingura]

Wow, what an amazing and beautiful build. Allways stunned by your art projects. Would be interessting to see a stress test with temperatures of this build.

[@abird5575]

Yeah, gf just sent this to me saying if I wanted to build a computer I needed to do this. Because we all have what looks to be 3k laying around! I need the parts list :(

[@flysin5111]

The PC looks absolutely incredible! One question i have for behind the forge is what your thoughts are on the materials holding up to the heat from the components over time as pcs can get quite hot

[@ptowzapotato4157]

Yeah I'm especially conserned about the hot glue and the foam, I'm hoping the water cooling will help keep thermals down enough tho

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

There is such a huge volume of air and good airflow (at least if all the fans are mounted so they co-operate) that it won't get warm in there really, I'd guess air temps in that case will be something like 30C max for a 20C ish room, and honestly I'd expect the air temp in there to be nearly ambient, its rather better ventilated than any steel PC case I've ever seen, even the largely mesh ones tend to use a much finer more restrictive mesh - so that just leaves the exhaust air temp being too high, but as the bulk of that should come out the back side even if it does soften the hot glue (and it would have to be the very low temp hot glue) who cares..

[@SirWallace2]

@@ptowzapotato4157 i don't think the temps will get anywhere near the melting point of hotglue which is 180°C to 200°C

[@vivanecrosis]

Water cooling is epic. I have it mine. They might need to reenforce it with metal later.

[@imawallass]

@@ptowzapotato4157 at least for the wood angles/joints she was also using nails... So I think they should be fine at least... Donno about the foam, but I think the build has enough cooling.

[@oprahspetrolstation6652]

Oh man, with those lights this would look really cool in something like a Cathedral with stained glass. Very cool!

[@glennhuman6936]

You should make a house just like that, but add an interior. Then when you take apart the layers you can look at it. In fact you could make a whole civilization with a lot of tiny houses

[@iiiiitsmagreta1240]

But think how many _bricks_ they'd have to make :,)

[@samsmom1491]

One way to avoid individual bricks is to carve out stone patterns from one large piece of Styrofoam using a hot knife. You can then attach the panel to the structure as one piece. I don't know if my description is accurate enough so you can see it in your head.

[@Kveldrunari]

that paint job is definitely mind-blowingly amazing, along with the rest of the construction.

[@brooksf-l7619]

Very cool to see, not just the computer built into the model (which is amazing!), but the planning process and techniques for such a large piece of terrain all together in one video.

[@MrPanaramuh]

Never heard of this channel before the recent collab with LTT...and that was impressive as hell so had to check out some other work and SHEEESH. Straight up AMAZING! Wish I had the monies to commission a piece from you guys to build a PC in commemoration of Technoblade to auction off to fund sarcoma research. BLOOD GODDDDDD.

[@samlevi4744]

Same. I want to watch her and Alex build something together from the ground up.

[@Dollfacedaeva]

I love watching Nerdforge videos! I get so inspired every time I see the amazing creativity in every projects you guys create. Thank you for doing what you!

[@e.m.3081]

Your artistic vision and execution blows my mind every time. This was so amazing to watch. You didn't just mod a case, you literally created a case. I would love something like this for my own system. Keep doing what you do. You are VERY talented.

[@leilenberg4744]

I could see this on a desk that’s designed to be a backdrop for the house. Scenery and clever tricks to make everything computer blend into something more organic. Great job!

[@j1derli]

I am seriously in love with the people at NERDFORGE! What they do and can do is So far away from I can do it's MINDBLOWING, they might as well be flying to Mars on their Magic Carpet, I'm So AMAZED with what they do, Thank You!!

[@gaiasguardian205]

I honestly expected this to open like a doll house. Not gonna lie, I think hinges would be safer than magnets.

[@saleplains]

damn i was pretty interested to see how you were gonna pull of the hardline cooling but it was probably a really good call to go with the AIO instead. there's more than enough DIY on this build any way. I swear every time a new layer of detail was added on the paint i would think it looked so realistic then another layer would be added and id realize how goofy it looked with out it. great build.

[@Torifeather]

This IS the coolest thing you've ever made! Unbelievable how you managed to fit every single piece in there without distorting the proportions of the house. Great work, really inspiring!

[@Quicky69Streams]

Ooo. You could replace the wood between each floor with like latic metal to increase airflow. Probably open some fan slots in the bottom floor to allow fan intake then have the roof shingles have gaps to alow air to flow out. Would be a good way to reduce the beat of the system.

[@GraemeLeRoux]

Cardboard Aided Design (CAD), always worth a try and generally works very well, especially with the duct tape add-on package 😊

I'm so amazed, i mean, i don't even thint about the posibilitie of mount a pc on a structure difrent of a regular gabinet. Thank you for your awesome work

[@michaelhuss0]

That is very unique and beautiful... just keep in mind if the exterior is mostly wood/paper that you have even less protection against electrostatic discharge than my open concept rig. Avoid moving it, maybe put it near something else safe you can touch first before you push the buttons, etc. This is especially a problem in the dry winter months.

[@kunimitsuowo]

This is very informative, I know that things could get complex with PCs, but never knew this was an aspect to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing!

[@pablomayobre]

PCs nowadays are very resilient to electrostatic discharge, there is a video by Jay'sTwoCent that covers this topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpXdoGCrdtuta7s

[@pablomayobre]

And there is one video by LinusTechTips on the subject kzbin.info/www/bejne/pInOmJWjp5iXiKM

[@michaelhuss0]

Yes, PCs are hard to break in this manner when they are properly grounded. However, they are easy to *crash*. You can crash the machine plugging in perhipherals, etc. My open concept rig used to trip a failsafe when there was an ESD across the room on the same circuit. Needless to say, I replaced my crappy surge protector after that happened. Also, the likelyhood that components will break varies. Why play russian roulette with your kit? A little caution is not a bad thing.
