Jay may want to add 900 to the tagging. Tony was the first skater ever to pull off a 900 in competition. it is kind of a big deal. Also add in the bird Tony used for his decks. Awesome video Jay.
@@bignicnrg3856 if you mean the red dead 2 build he decided he didn't wanna continue it since he lost interest, i do think he made a video about it if you can find it so i don't miss represent his words
TIP: Pressing crinkled Foil into the bondo makes awesome cement broken patches. That you can work outward with cracks, brakes, missing chunks and chips after texturing. 😉😉👍👍
The panel is looking real good, excellent work :) I'd honestly suggest you hire a graffiti artist of your choice to tag the panels on the case. IMHO this is an art style and would be extremely difficult to replicate, off the cuff.
You can also use those big sheets of foam board (you can get it at Walmart) to make some really lightweight "concrete". You just peel off the paper from one side of the foam, and then go to town making cracks and "chips" in it by indenting the foam. Then you just prime it and paint it, and glue it to the PC panel. Get the same effect as the bondo with probably 5% of the weight. Another option is just to use a printed decal sheet of a high resolution image of a real wall that's been tagged already and stick that to the panel. One percent of the weight with 90% of the practical effect (just missing the depth, which can be made up for in the image to a huge degree).
Can concur, more builds and more mods Jay. As a retired VFX model maker I will say that yes, in my opinion you're doing it wrong. Does it matter? Not in the slightest. You're modding a case and it's your creative journey and we must respect that. All of your custom builds have been extremely high quality. I can't wait to see how this project turns out.
I really enjoy watching people do case mods, some really creative cases (mods) have be built. I'am currently doing a case mod for a friend, though I didn't really started with a case, I actually have designed and 3D Printed the case itself which took me close to 300 hours to print. Currently in the process of sanding, priming and using spot putty on the case. I can't wait for it to be completed, and it definatly is my biggest 3D Printing project to date.
@@ericepperson8409 Already put this elsewhere, but here it is, not one, but several better ideas: You can use those big sheets of foam board (you can get it at Walmart) to make some really lightweight "concrete". You just peel off the paper from one side of the foam, and then go to town making cracks and "chips" in it by indenting the foam. Then you just prime it and paint it, and glue it to the PC panel. Get the same effect as the bondo with probably 5% of the weight. This is a tried and true practical effects method that artists have been using for decades. Once the paint is dry, the foam is just as robust as bondo, but a fraction of the weight, and will flex with the panel, instead of cracking like the Bondo would. Another option is just to use a printed decal sheet of a high resolution image of a real wall that's been tagged already and stick that to the panel. One percent of the weight with 90% of the practical effect (just missing the depth, which can be made up for in the image to a huge degree). Simple, effective, and far better than slathering a bunch of bondo all over your computer. Plus, there's other products that are specifically made for this sort of effect that work a lot better, like modeling pastes (Liquitex, Vallejo plastic putty, Apoxie Sculpt, etc) That's the good thing about the internet. You don't have to pretend to be an expert. You can literally just look up the best methods for these kinds of practical effects. Bondo is fine, and it is used in special effects and modeling, miniatures, etc., but it's also toxic, heavy, messy and relatively expensive when compared to some other methods. And you don't want to apply it to thin metal that's going to be flexing (removing and applying that panel a handful of times might be enough to start cracking chunks of bondo off of it) It's used on cars, but it's not supposed to be used with thick applications. It's meant to fill in divots and cracks and dents and then be sanded down to a thin layer. This is definitely not the best way to do this.
Here’s an idea for the “cracks” in the bondo for the future. Use a piece of string/fishing line/wire and lay in the patterns you want, apply the bondo, before it dries gently pull the string to create that line/crack effect. That should work.
@@AlphaMachina oh for sure concrete is the best solution if it’s possible. But when your skating some stairs or something in the streets and there’s a crack right before the stairs, then bondo is a lot more low key than rocking up with a big bag of concrete and trying to mix it in a place where you’re probably not allowed to be skating anyway
There's some really great tabletop miniature hobbyists on youtube the make easy and quick stone or concrete tutorials. These might make it easier than going in blind, same with the miniature paints while keeping the weight down. Interesting vid, Jay.
"Can confidently build this without worrying about something coming out right after it" *CES in 2 days* You just need to accept that will happen with all your builds Jay
I was gonna say only low-mid tier stuff is expected, then I remembered AMD 7000x3d is likely to be announced soon, but with the rate that Jay does these builds I don't think it'll be a problem lol
@@bignicnrg3856 I don't necessarily agree, there's been less fancy over the top watercooling builds for sure which I do miss (especially the build logs where he "takes us for the ride"), but it's still enjoyable content imo

For some reason this video really reminded me of Adam Savage's videos on crafting and I think it'd be super cool if they made something together. What a dream.
15:55 Yep, definitely the types of videos on this channel I enjoy most, because it's both not something I normally see in tech videos, and because Jay's honestly pretty talented at modding using off the shelf products. Plus the comments give even more ideas for even more ways to mod things to achieve the targeted effects. Shame the viewership of this video isn't great compared to others (title? thumbnail? not sure), but man, following passion instead of views is a much better way to live life (if you can afford it anyway).
I've seen the 'interrupt this interruption with this interruption' iFixit ad for so long now I forgot what the original one was like. I even think some newer viewers might not even know there was an original one
You can also get a good rough concrete effect by styling the backing with a sponge. Then thin some black way down and dust the panel with it. Once done, take a rag of thinner that is tightly attached to a block and it will only leave the low-lying places with the black.
I love these case mod videos. It gives room for both a great deal of knowledge on a topic I find interesting but know little about (I have asthma; paint and aerosol sprays will both try to kill me) and for you to express your general chaotic nature in a really neat way.
This is really going to be a sweet build when it’s done. I really like the concepts that are being integrated into this case. Might want to add a rust color into some of the cracks to simulate dragging metal across the concrete.
If you want that semi-smooth look of a skate park, I would suggest mixing in very fine sand to give it that nice rough but smooth texture you might find on a skatepark. But also some skateparks have that nice shine on their concrete too so it depends on what look you are going for.
For more graffiti from 80's skating, watch the Bones Brigade movies. There should be good stuff in there, from when Tony Hawk was beginning his heyday. My favorite was always "Search for Animal Chin." I can't wait to see this build done!
I could watch Jay doing mods for hours, always funny how he is like saying people should wait for the finished product while I am here already being. "That looks cool!" ^^ and he didn't say it this time! Well I will look forward to part 3 :3
Really cool vid ! Shows the true love of the modding and your truly creative side that usually gets tucked into a corner cus of all the pre build and pre made stuff :) This is exactly the kind of thing I hoped to see after the poll!!
Thanks for the video. You've given me some Ideas. I had a case project that I had about given up on. This video may keep it alive. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Watching this video on a display that’s not calibrated properly makes jay seem crazy since I couldn’t see the progress on the side due to it being washed out solid white on my display.
i'd highly recommend watering down some paint and soaking it into a rag, then dabbing it across the surface before wiping it off with a second, dry rag. Should bring some nice shading to it and make the concrete look far more weathered
The whole tagged up concrete makeshift skate spot theme makes me think that the inside of the case should look like a behind the scenes of that esthetic. Make it look like a sewer with cast iron pipes and grates and 3D print a bunch of random stuff to litter the inside like people have been partying or even squatting there. If the mobo or GPU has RGB logos black out random parts of them like they're signs that are failing. Do something with the reservoir so it looks like a big old tank of something with shutoff valves and whatnot. I could keep going but basically make it look as filthy and decrepit as possible.
Thank you for showing this type of build. I just bought a 3D Printer and I want to build things that I can use for my other hobby, I've looked into how to smooth out prints and bondo was recommended. To see that you can use bondo for this! I'm very excited to start my new hobby.
I ordered some bondo just a couple days ago for a case I'm modding for my kid XD I was just using it like you would with a normal auto paint job until watching this...now I have some thinking to do!
A trick for making cracks through Bondo: lay down a piece of string across where you want the crack, apply bondo over, and then whan most ly dry pull the string and break out that section. Makes it look very natural.
That's what we tune in for. Jay talking about his crack ;-) But seriously, love watching these videos. I know you have to do gpu reviews etc but imho these type of videos really sets you apart from other tech UA-camrs.

and add "Do a kickflip!" somewhere as well for the lolz

No joke, crinkled aluminium foil makes for great texturing!

As a truck driver for over 25 years. I can say the graffiti I see on rail cars is some of the most bad ass art I've ever seen. Truly works of art.
I often forget that he's a legit artist with respect to custom builds.
That's because he's gotten away from his passions to chase viewers but.. when you have bills and employees to pay what can you do.
Eh.. there are much better, and lighter ways to achieve this same or similar, but just as good, effect.
Who dat?

This is definitely not the best way to do this.
I’m surprised you didnt shade the cracking in with an airbrush. I like your way better because it will feel more real.
That’s waaaaaaaay to much hardener for that much bondo…. Perfect 😂

Use a piece of string/fishing line/wire and lay in the patterns you want, apply the bondo, before it dries gently pull the string to create that line/crack effect.
That should work.
We also want to see more finished mods. So keep this one up please.
This build will never be done until Jay does a kickflip
Ironic that as a skater we use bondo to fill cracks, and here's Jay using it to make them 😂
We just used actual cement. Though, I do remember my buddy using bondo or caulk or something to smooth the cracks between panels in his half pipe.

Love seeing Jay pull out the modelbuilding chops! I honestly cheered when I saw those Tamiya paints! Hell yeah!!
ive seen enough of these to trust the jay process, that panel looks nice already and cant wait to see the build come together

I can smell the bondo through the screen. I like the thought you put into these builds
Looks awesome !! A lil added bonus of the bondo would be it adding some sound dampening/shielding to the rig.
That's why I loved the build for the quite apathetic Post Malone guy: NO cheesy weathering effects, just solid workmanship.
This was just awesome, it looks amazing! Cant wait for the rest of the build.
The ifixit ad is still one of the best sponsor spots on youtube.
I've been watching Jay for quite some time now, but this was the 1st time I have ever skipped the ifixit ad
I really like where this is headed! Love the idea of a "concrete" case!
Bondo is actually a really good idea. Its made for cars, lots of vibrations esc so i could see it lasting forever on a PC
More mods! Yay! Jay, make sure you sticker bomb that brace that's going inside the case. Can't have skating without sticker bombed decks.
Only Jay would bring bondo to pc modding😆
Can't wait to see how it shapes up!

Bondo was a great idea Jay! Skaters use Bondo all the time to fix chunky street spots. I have a can in the back of my car as we speak lol
using bondo in a skating themed build adds another level
You did an amazing job making that Crack. That was a really creative idea using the bondo for that.
Spreaders are right next to the bondo making a trip to the housewares department unnecessary. 😆
I haven't watched the whole video yet (iFixit!!!!!), but I am excited to see where this is going to go, can't wait for the reveal.
As a former auto body technician I thoroughly enjoyed your application of Bondo with a spatula! Haha
Welcome to Adam Savage’s 1 day builds ft. JayzTwoCents
I love those built series 👌🏼 we need more !
Really cool vid !

This is exactly the kind of thing I hoped to see after the poll!!
That looks pretty great. It definitely sells the concrete wall vibe, IMO.
It's nice to see this build come back. I can't wait to see where this goes.
10:39 I was pretty sceptical about the cracking lines and stuff, but this turned out incredible!! Brilliant job Jay
oh yeah I've missed these modding videos, always so much fun!
I love it every time phil laughs …it makes me laugh
Thanks for the video. You've given me some Ideas. I had a case project that I had about given up on. This video may keep it alive. Looking forward to the next instalment.
MORE MODS! - love it so far
I love the arts and craft style videos. Teaches me a lot.
As a skater who started building computers this is such a sick video. I love this shit. I miss bondo!
I love these experimental builds the most. I just hope he actually keeps up on maintenance with you depending on the specs.
Watching this video on a display that’s not calibrated properly makes jay seem crazy since I couldn’t see the progress on the side due to it being washed out solid white on my display.
Was curious about what this was going to end up like, now I'm really excited. Can't wait to see the next step on the build.
Looks like yall have a ton of fun, building and doing this kinda of things, I need a job like that.
crazy triplet beat by the panel at 10:49
That panel work is incredible! cant wait to see the finished product.
yes love the mods more videos like this please let your creativity flow
Loved this. Thanks Jay and team!
i'd highly recommend watering down some paint and soaking it into a rag, then dabbing it across the surface before wiping it off with a second, dry rag. Should bring some nice shading to it and make the concrete look far more weathered
Love these types of videos from you Jay, the passion for art definitely shows
I’m so excited for this build!
There are graffiti stencils and there are decals that can be applied and weathered. Used in model train layouts, but may not say what you want.
The whole tagged up concrete makeshift skate spot theme makes me think that the inside of the case should look like a behind the scenes of that esthetic. Make it look like a sewer with cast iron pipes and grates and 3D print a bunch of random stuff to litter the inside like people have been partying or even squatting there. If the mobo or GPU has RGB logos black out random parts of them like they're signs that are failing. Do something with the reservoir so it looks like a big old tank of something with shutoff valves and whatnot.
I could keep going but basically make it look as filthy and decrepit as possible.
This was awesome! Excited to see it all come together.
Bonds was a trick from way back in the day (mid to late 90s), along with multiple paint layers and wet-sanding.
Considering Jason's love for World of Warships, NOW he looks like an officer of the British Admiralty thumbs up!

I know its been said a million times across all your videos but those ifixit promos are top-tier.

Jayz creates the best be-quiet back cover ever....flock the temps get some Zimmerit over it
Add a small stainless steel ball-bearing to each bottle of paint. Helps mix it better when you shake it.
I love seeing your process the case is gonna look really cool.
Love watching you nerd out on this sruff! ☺️

Use the 3d printer to make stencels. It can help with either general shapes. Or just your own logo.
im so excited to see how this build is gonna turn out, the concrete effect looks pretty legit
