Hey! Thanks man. Loooove your channel. I know it's unlikely we could get Grant Goodeeve, but Id love to work on somethin together! Maybe a Medigun for Mr Downes? 👀
I don't know how easily acquirable they are, but you could also track down (or 3D print a copy yourself of) the official Sandvich toy. (From Comic-con 2012 or the defunct Valve store.)
This has the potential to be a killer water-cooled build. The tank could be a resivoir, and the screen could have a transparent LCD showcasing the inside.
You should add a startup sound for the build! When opening the IO door, you should play the "metal pickup" sound, and when turning it on you should play the dispenser healing sound!
You should make the dial display the PCs internal temp for easy monitering and maintanence, and maybe add a slight glitch-y flicker to the "Provisions" sign. I know it doesn't flicker in-game, but if you're gonna make it a screen, why not give it some more character?
consider: put a little pan under the inside of the push slot, then store things like pens/pencils, small screwdrivers, pieces of candy, etc in there, so you can just reach in and grab what you need in any given moment
Guess all of those screens could be used for performance gauges, like temperature or utilisation, and for extra flavor, it could match the existing designs.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive yeah I can see the side gauge showing load and the top monitor showing temp. I feel like that would be sensible measurements to show.
Kinda disappointed those plungers dont plunge the whole way, but absolutely loved everything else. Those plungers reminds me of old arcade machines with the slightly sticky but super satisfying plungers. That squeak of unoiled likely slightly rusted metal just gives me so much nostalgia
I'm sure you already considered this but water cooling? A big clear resevoir would look so cool in place of the tank. And as for the push door would it be possible to have some kind of mini fridge behind the whole machine that dispenses soda cans? Anyway this is very impressive and fun as is! I'm just throwing out some dumb ideas.
For sure! I think the tank would be a perfect reservoir too. I ran out of time to add more features to this design. Maybe for level 2 haha. Also, that would be sweet. Now I need to make some Bonk cans...
@@MrVolt you could fit some sort of panel display "in" the tank - completely separated from water but have it appear that you have the little healing particles inside the tank. only issue would be if you viewed it from another angle, but im sure with some light trickery it could work! plus, this allows you to have an rgb light within the tank, meaning you can have any color "healing" fluid! bonk atomic punch included
This came out so well, kinda wish the gauge displayed temperture or cpu/gpu temp, or as other said, display all of that on the main display or put some video game on that main screen and turn all the controls into a hellish controller for said game this is probably one of my favorite builds from you, because it serves practical application, is (i dare say) completely accurate to the in game model, and is fun!
Well done, sir! Can I just say, this channel is criminally underrated. I was already impressed with Wheatley. But this one knocks it out of the park again.
if people still used physical currency as frequently as they used to, I'd suggest the push plate go to a piggy bank. as is, it reminds me of vcr player doors, so maybe it could be a good way to insert removable media? another I/O board, perhaps, and the door just rests against whatever you have plugged in to stay open? or maybe it could be some sort of fancy modular external drive system? I know video editing uses a lot of storage, and a lot of videographers have just stacks of hard drives that they swap out when they get full to keep physical backups of all the stuff they made.
push plate could be just a pocket that houses some tools or you can pull usb ports and table controls to push plate and turn bottom row into a bigger tool holder
I would have been a bit funnier if instead of "Not just for any engineer, but this guy right here" you said "but not just for any engineer, but THE engineer"
( the teleporter goes here ) you already made the sentry well not build yet Idk but a teleporter . . . I don't know what wood the teleporter do . . . , I wish I had that dispenser.
I remember the times where modding your pc case to for example look like something from your favourite game. Nowadays it's just black or white box with so many lights that you can see them from miles away. good times
honestly, i thought the gas tank on the side would allow some easy access to some liquid coolant while also making the gauge show the status of coolant. the small display could show the temp stat of the computer as a whole, and the large screen should show available space, to keep the full meter on display like in game. the ammo holder could have been a handle to slide the main pc out incase of emergency or to allow upgrades to the internal parts. but besides those ideas, this video was really good. keep it up!
This has got to be the coolest thing I have seen built, I love TF2 plus the lore and playing Engineer. Taking this thing from the game and doing everything you just did is a work of art and it is a feat of engineering that combines so much of what I enjoy. You should use the push plate and a small compartment behind it to hold just a few 3D printed bullets.
Future upgrades: -The tech on site to be a water tank for water cooled PCs -Make it an actual dispenser where if you push the tab it actually gives you candy bar or something -The ammo belt could be the wires for your monitors If I had the Time and the 3-D printers I would've totally made this
Thank you! I think it's possible, but Id have to get creative with my computer placement. The ammo belt takes up a lot of volume. Would be a fun redesign
The displays would work really well for showing things like temperature and resource usage! Maybe temperature on the dial and CPU usage on the main screen?
you could use the air tank twist dial as a volume control, and the visual display meter at the top of the air tank for showing the current volume setting. ( shows whether the volume is high, low, or in between etc, the dial shifts towards full or empty depending on the volume.), the main screen at the center, could be a power or specs gage.
you could modify the side tank and inside to turn it into a liquid cooled PC, and the gauge at the top could instead display CPU, GPU, and memory temperatures.
you could have taken the body design of the level 2/3 dispenser for extra inside space considering you did the level 3 top thingy, and it was very logical for the main screen to function as a monitor aswell. great build
That air tank would make a great reservoir for a liquid cooled system if you could find the right dimension of clear pipe/bottle, just tint the liquid in it orange. That LCD gauge on top could also have the temp displayed on it
You can for sure make this digital Gauge show one of your Computer temps. There are computers with fancy displays on top of CPU, or some Temperature displays in front of case, nontheless the design is great! and im sure you will find some ways yourself in future for more epic content with it Oh and little life hack i am doing myself is that i store potato chips bag on top of my Outtake fans magnetic cover, so they are pretty warm and tasty this way for those few minutes after opening them, soooooo maybe your pushPlate can also be storage for something simillar that would Benefit from warm temperature inside your case?
What if the air tank on the side of the dispenser held some kind of drink like soda and "dispensed" it into a cup when needed. It could just have like any 2 liter bottle in it. Connect that to a a spout or maybe even something that comes out of the push plate, and you can get a drink while gaming on your dispenser. Heck, you could probably find a way to refrigerate the bottle (but that would be kinda over the top).
5:59 "and the third switch will ac(t as ...?)" This video has some really weirdly-timed jump cuts (also noticed one or two during the flexispot bit) and i cant help but wonder of that's due to content being cut in the youtube editor or if its something else?
I know the screens are cool but I think analog dials and displays would've been so much cooler imo haha. But this design still has so much potential! Like, imagine if the air tank was a water tank for the PC's water-cooling system, and the dial above it showed the CPU or GPU temperature, with a little red zone for the temperatures which start damaging them. And I know that you designed it around the main dial being a monitor.. but if you ever end up turning the Dispenser into more of a PC case to accompany a screen, making it show remaining available CPU/GPU/RAM dedication would be so cool! Your creativity is insane and I LOVE this project!
pressure gage as cpu/gpu/motherboard temp or speed or powerdraw indicator. Air tank as tank for coolant fluid for a water-cooled (or similar) cooling setup.

Push plate should surely be a drink dispenser of some kind. Nothing like storing liquids and electronics together
For sure! Needs to dispense some Bonk drinks :P
I don't know how easily acquirable they are, but you could also track down (or 3D print a copy yourself of) the official Sandvich toy. (From Comic-con 2012 or the defunct Valve store.)
And maybe select the drinks you want from the keypad on the small computer on the top of the dispenser.
also should dispense chips at the same time
hey Mr volt could you try to make the turret from portal 2 that would be cool@@MrVolt
5:59 thank you for adding this feature, I cant believe there are so many computers that don't do this.
truly a genius function
I know. I custom built my PC, so i had to make sure I had enough room for it to AH
If it didn't have I would be so upset, I custom fitted mine, along as my family members laptops to have a . No pc/laptop is complete with out it.
I know most modern gaming PCs don't have them nowadays but I kinda imagined the push plate would house a disk drive.
Yes
Great idea! I'd have to switch over to a mini ITX build to stuff it in. As is, my mobo is 2mm behind the push plate when you open it.
YES omygosh i was about to comment this
saaaaame
HDD toaster?
This has the potential to be a killer water-cooled build. The tank could be a resivoir, and the screen could have a transparent LCD showcasing the inside.
Yes I really was surprised when the Tank wasn't a reservoir for a water cooling system
Now make a real, functioning teleporter.
We should probably wait for him to make a functioning dispenser first.
And then do nothing but teleport bread for 3 days!

You should add a startup sound for the build! When opening the IO door, you should play the "metal pickup" sound, and when turning it on you should play the dispenser healing sound!
This would make for an incredible TF2 arcade cabinet.

its engie he would put his gal up on it.
these were also my first thoughts!!!
I was just about to say that. The other pop up display could also show other useful diagnostics like CPU and GPU usage.
The provisions sign is just a light up sticker in game, so that could be neat.
I like how he didn't say what the third button do to make the common joke that Valve can't count to three
5:58
I didnt notice that
@@AngusFoley ah well
it might have just flew over your ears
Other PC case ideas:
- HL2 Health Packs
- Black Mesa HEV charging panels
- Combine charging panels

What if the little graph on the top of the dispenser actually displays info on the computer like core temperature?
genius

big brain time
That or the dial meter on top of the tank. They can both display different diagnostics or switch from them.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive yeah I can see the side gauge showing load and the top monitor showing temp. I feel like that would be sensible measurements to show.
This is my favoite build on TH-cam. Honestly cooler than any build on LTT.
6:00 AH
Amazing build as always. The different displays are clever.
Awesome build. I kinda expected the air tank to be a reservoir for liquid cooling the computer.
Hey, that's my brother!
If you ever upgrade to a build incorporating water cooling, the air tank would be an obvious resevoir location
Kinda disappointed those plungers dont plunge the whole way, but absolutely loved everything else. Those plungers reminds me of old arcade machines with the slightly sticky but super satisfying plungers. That squeak of unoiled likely slightly rusted metal just gives me so much nostalgia
You can use some sort of cable managment so it looks like ammo
A really cool computer. The FlexiSpot E7 perfectly supports it.
I'm sure you already considered this but water cooling? A big clear resevoir would look so cool in place of the tank.
And as for the push door would it be possible to have some kind of mini fridge behind the whole machine that dispenses soda cans?

The small "pressure" meter should show CPU useage, and the main screen should show useage of ram and other random memory and temprerature.
Best video on this site for sure, your mastery of CAD and ability to conceptualise these ideas and make them reality is just incredible
Not putting a water-cooling reservoir into the air tank is such a missed opportunity. Other then that good stuff!
I know, right? I haven't built a custom loop before, so I ran out of time to add that for this one.
This came out so well, kinda wish the gauge displayed temperture or cpu/gpu temp, or as other said, display all of that on the main display
or put some video game on that main screen and turn all the controls into a hellish controller for said game
this is probably one of my favorite builds from you, because it serves practical application, is (i dare say) completely accurate to the in game model, and is fun!
I need this, I want this. All I need in my life right now!
Well done, sir!
Can I just say, this channel is criminally underrated. I was already impressed with Wheatley. But this one knocks it out of the park again.
if people still used physical currency as frequently as they used to, I'd suggest the push plate go to a piggy bank. as is, it reminds me of vcr player doors, so maybe it could be a good way to insert removable media? another I/O board, perhaps, and the door just rests against whatever you have plugged in to stay open? or maybe it could be some sort of fancy modular external drive system?

Medical tank gauge should be used to show frames (0 - normal frames using the gauge part of it keeping some of its design)

I'll never understand how you are able to explain so much in only (around) 10 minutes every time.
Thanks! I always feel like I'm not explaining enough, but glad it feels substantial :P
@@MrVolt
I can understand that feeling. I'm sure there's so much more that goes into it all than what you have time to say.
But I'm still amazed.
This is unironically what Dell’s pc setup would be in 2023
5:53 Gabe Newell approved counting
Even though it is old media, i think it would be cool to possibly put a disk drive in the push plate.
Make the engineer recliner from the game as a gaming chair
The push hinge should reveal an additional outlets, if u ever need some.
Fuckin' ace. Should mod that chair into a Rancho Relaxo. Go deeper into the Conagher wormhole.
Now build a gaming teleporter
I remember the times where modding your pc case to for example look like something from your favourite game. Nowadays it's just black or white box with so many lights that you can see them from miles away. good times
I was hoping the push plate would be the power button tbh. Massive power button
This should be a full size vending machine

Use the gas tank as a water reservoir and pump for a custom water cooling setup.
could use the air tank dial on the side for volume and let the pressure gouge be what tells you your volume.
Amazing, Engineer is my favourite class and I've been playing TF2 again recently since Overwatch died.
Now I want to find and adapt (or design from scratch) a case mod! Just need something that incorporates a drawing monitor…

No needs for level ups, IT IS ALREADY PERFECT! and also put dispenser here
You could use the tank as a reservoir for a liquid cooling system, or any other idea that could involve water
I'd dreamed about something like this for many years but wasn't enthusiastic enough about PCs to tackle it, well done!
The tank might be a good place to put batteries for an internal UPS. The gauge could even function as a battery indicator.

you could make the gauge meter have readable numbers and actually move displaying the CPU/GPU or just the whole PC temp!
Push plate is either a drink dispenser, or a place to set controllers or other things like cables.
The tank off to the side should be like a portable cup and bowl for food and drinks
pressure gage as cpu/gpu/motherboard temp or speed or powerdraw indicator.
Air tank as tank for coolant fluid for a water-cooled (or similar) cooling setup.
Not the coolest idea ever but making the gas gauge thing on the left work as a real-time clock would be pretty cool
Y'know, that actually never crossed my mind, but would be way more useful to me than a CPU or temp measurement that I don't really need to know. I
The screen that shows the gauge, would be awesome if the arrow could adjust to show the temp or your CPU usage or something like that!
