I'm at at odds with everything you're doing: "we're going to sand back the shell to bare metal", and I'm like no, that will look rubbish. Ok, it looks great. "we'll mount the bars on the outside", and I'm like NO! it'll look terrible. OK, that kinda looks awesome. I really can't wait to see how you plumb in that cooling loop. At the moment, I'm thinking you've got no chance, so it''l probably blow my tiny mind.
So I don't know about anyone else, but I would probably do the bars on the side with screws rather than welds. Drill and tap holes into the lip on the bars and then run screws in from the inside. Would take some measurement to get the right depth without breaking through the outside of the bars, and countersink the screws on the inside so they don't impact space. Welding (especially if you don't know how to) is going to end up messy without a LOT of practice runs and even then you can easily make a mistake.
Don't waste your time it will be 100 C at 285 W or even 253 W with ambient temp at 24 degrees Celsius. I guarantee this will hit thermal limits almost instantly in Cinebench 23. These shit ITX cases just don't work properly, can't cool the components appropriately. Fun to look at, but shit performance and longevity.
Now that you guys have chromified the case, I think it could look pretty cool if you started bringing some copper accents into the build. Perhaps engrave some lines into the metal and inlay some copper into that then flatten it out. I cant remember the name of that process, but basically inlay copper into the alluminium and keep it all flush.
the polished finish looks great on that case. i think putting the "grill" on the inside is easier to look cleaner, and way less time consuming. putting them on the outside looks cool too, but i think you really need to nail the mounting AND make sure the contours are identical.
Are you really sure that this is what your consumer wanted? Asking because he most definitely liked case aesthetics(since he asked specific case) which is just completely different now(not in negative way ofc, tastes are subjective), plans to add externally mounted rods is also sounds strange considering the fact that this PC expected to travel a lot and tons of unintentional hooks made out from corners of this rods will make it hell a lot less convenient to travel with.
Just get a custom made fan grill and drill a holes to screw it in to the case, for better results looks and easier access to clean the fans or rads, in my opinion overall everything looks great good luck.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino I'm sure they'd love to hear your better plan on fitting a 14900 and a 4090 in a 13 litre case bro. There is no simple way to do this.
@@Jonny-ij8vf My plan is simple: If a customer asks for a build using a *specific case model,* I'm not gonna remove 95% of said case and replace it with mods. I'm gonna build it using the goddamn case. The same case which already had all the cooling openings they're trying to reconstruct after removing it and was designed for a specific airflow path. But, it goes without saying: "Why simplify things when you can complicate them?"
@@BrunodeSouzaLino With that logic you'd still be living in a cave. These parts physically don't fit in this case without cutting it up and changing things.
Not a fan of the grill. Honestly, if it were me, I would just put glass panels with vents. Or if you really want to go metal I would go with something like a one piece brass panel with rounded rectangular vent holes. Brass always looks high end.
It begs the question whether the consumer asked for a specific case model for it to have about 95% of it removed and replaced with custom mods of questionable effectiveness and looks. I hope the customer was asked about each and every modification before it was done, because a lot of the "improvements" performed on the case make it impractical for a person who's gonna travel a lot carrying said PC around. And while that custom grill serves well for your purposes, it will make sure a lot of things can enter the case and potentially damage components inside, but I guess the mesh stamp from the factory which served that purpose was not good enough.
Yay, buzz-killington's back again with his obligatory uninformed comment on the newest Billet video. I'm glad you're back spreading negativity again. They've already said the customer has allowed them to do what they want, and they've already said that the factory ventilation wasn't nearly enough. Looking forward to your next pointless whiny moan on their next video.
First of all, why not use a plate and cut it with laser for the motherboard? Second, the rods would definitely look better on the inside, last but not least, that's fucking amazing. Now this is what I love about PC building, not plug&play shit, this is hard work, unique style and setup, love your work guys keep it up!

I still don't like the bars. They look awful.
Love it! the side panel definitely reminds me of a 60's american chrome car grills. Hope it cools well!

Great idea.
It's so easy for the material to warp slightly when welding, which would definitely stand out in this instance.
I'm so excited to see how the 14900k works in this toaster!

@@b4n4n0is a 280mm aio good enough for the 14900k?
I was so against The polished finish until I saw it. It looks amazing! And I absolutely love the bar grilled sides! It looks sick guys! Fantastic job!
waiting for

Wood Blade for Aluminium... even the Tooth are bend after 1st try.
Crazy guys XD
And it was a dry cut as well 😅. It's crazy that they managed to get it accurate.
Love this build! amazing project guys! 👏👏

You are killing me. Please upload all at once
Looks really nice! Could maybe do 1 (or a few) copper rods on each side-panel vs. all aluminum. Or maybe aluminum rods with copper end caps?
I'm digging the series. Part 4!
This is gonna look awesome when it's done!
Wow this is an awesome build!
I really dislike the bars across the side aesthetically. And I fear the protrusions will catch on things inside a bag.
No wonder it was exhausting to cut the sides of the case, you were using a blade meant to cut wood! Great job tho! It's looking amazing :)
You're definitely going to have to be careful when welding and go very slowly with one bar at a time to prevent the heat warping the material.

stunning work

This PC build is becoming the epitome of "why simplify when you can complicate?"

@@Jonny-ij8vf Excecpt when they did before both decided to put them in such a way they didn't and had to modify it.
Are you all going to finish the project with Metal Spine? as it can be thinner and stronger than the wood.
Are you guys going to be cutting an actual piece of aluminum plate for that middle spine...or are you using the MDF?
They said in previous video that the MDF is just for reference and they will replace it with metal.
@@berkertaskiran I think we all wanna see how toasty that thing is gonna get. I rate its going to cook XD...
This project being look like a dodge charger
sickkK!

Cool. But too much ventilation bars.. looks crowded, be more minimalistic.
I agree, 1 or 2 less looks better, at least for me.
