I am an old plumber and handyman that knows a little bit about computers , and I have to say, that build was impressive as hell ... nice job and I'll watch your other videos real soon! Great job ... I could see your attention to everything.
Calling what you did to mount the power button "a bit unorthodox" is a strong, early contender for understatement of the year xD But hey, as the saying goes, "if it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid." Great build, and impressive work to edit the video so the hour I spent watching felt like minutes
That´s the only thing I don´t like on that amazing build. IMO something like a lever switch would look better, especially when a steam-punk theme on that build.
Actually i would have done the same it is a simple elegant solution. I might have added like a aluminum l bracket behind the switch and psu connector to make the mount a tad more solid but not really needed as no one is going to be pushing very hard on the switch anyways
@@nanaki-seto Still compounds with time. I'd give it a thousand-ish presses before it starts losing contact. I can get past the unorthodoxy if the switch was properly secured.
You could totally re-case a 17" monitor vintage style. I sprayed mine matte black to fit with my typical gaming setup and the colors & motion clarity look wonderful.
As a former plumber who had experience with doing copper and boilers. I love this build, the thought process, step by step building, the mistakes. Honestly well done
@Mati-ct3tr same here, i had no idea it was billet labs, just randomly saw it on my feed . i thought oh the reddit guy must have copied this build and then i saw the video was posted hours ago 😂
About 25-30 years ago I had dreamt of making a steampunk-esque build with a bunch of copper piping and radiators. Having been raised around custom building computers as a kid, I had quite the imagination of a variety of cases I wanted to make. Unfortunately, none of them ever came to fruition. Watching you build this reminded me of that dream but seeing the amount of work required also reminded me of why I didn't even try (daunting to think about 😆) I may eventually get around to revisiting my childhood imaginations someday.. This is absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for helping me remember and putting your time and efforts into both making and sharing this!
I think all computers should be built like that, with monoblocks. Not that tightly. But putting the GPU at 90º angle from the motherboard is insanity when it weights a full kilo.
This is one of the absolute coolest PC builds I've ever seen! Extremely steampunk. About the only thing I can think of that could make it more steampunk would be a piston of some kind... maybe a Stirling engine, just for visual effect? I doubt the tolerances could be tight enough to get any useful work out of it, though the idea of using it to turn the fan is very enticing. Using the heat output of the computer to dissipate the heat output has a sort of poetry to it ...Actually, given how much energy a modern computer emits as heat, a full-on phase-changing steam engine cooling system might well be possible... Either way, that's a lot of pretty idle speculation on my part. This build here is awesome - great job on it!
Heh we did water cooling rigs like this in the late 90s early 2ks with copper pipes we had to use radiators from like vw rabbits with their fans as no off the shell water cooling existed then no water blocks no fittings no pumps all had to be modified to work from other sources. One steam punk style build i did was bought from me for i think 3200 usd if i recall and that was in like 2005 or 2006 . It was a full tower pc case with a water window res lots of copper sheet laminated to the all black case along with brass and the like to round it all out. Cool to see modern builds done with the original hard line loops :)
Ill try not to be too old head, but I'm still impressed how many ways people can build a PC. I've been there since my grey Acer CRT PC and not one is ever the same. People are so creative, I love it. That thing is incredible dude.
I remember someone commenting on one of your last videos about the metal dust on your carpet being a problem and then I saw this and made me laugh a lot lol 17:59
this is...with no other words to describe it...really fckin amazing, this is beautiful, well made, insane build! I want one...*looks at ebay bidding*...you know what, the video of it is good enough aswell xD This honestly is a priceless machine, the effort, time and skill that went into it can't really be priced. Hope you do get as much as you can out of it and can't wait to see what other monstrosity you build next!
You can get a rather unique finish if you heat the copper pipe to red hot and dip into a borax solution. Just take regular household borax and mix into distilled water. Add borax and keep adding and mixing until no more will dissolve. You can leave the floaty bits in it. You'll need 5 or so liters to start. You can also dip after soldering too.
Beautiful... I enjoyed watching you build this in such a unconventional way.... but it made sense and I enjoyed watching you use all of your creative skills to get to this point. A true craftsman skill in a year...
You are an Absolute Mad-Lad! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art. (Also: investing in a flameproof plumber's cloth for soldering might save possible future heartache.) C-)
Man, this is unbelievable level of craftsmanship! I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed watching this coming together! A true masterpiece, and a thing of beauty to admire. Thank you for putting your skill, time, love, and care into this.
Im plumber and your copper work is SOLID i would use phosphor copper welding sticks rather than solder. Awesome pc you built. Theres some copper/brass oil coolers for cars that could work, saw off the connectors and braze on threaded connectors
That reservoir would be awesome with a little glass window with water measurements etched or screen printed. Definitely a sick build tho. These are works of art.
A boiler level sight glass would have been an incredible addition. very much in keeping with the rest of the build and also letting you check on the fluid.
Thanks Felix! The builds are wonderful and there's so much I would not even have thought of until you pointed it out. I hope we get more episodes of "Fun facts with Felix! :) I really enjoyed that segment along with all the work- It looks amazing.
I have only watched a few of your videos now, but I have to say, your handiwork is very impressive!! This is one of the coolest looking builds I have ever saw, and to think you did it all with only hand tools makes it even more impressive. Very, very cool!! Thanks for posting this.
WoooW what an amazing piece of Art!!!! Way to go mate, the time and effort it took to build this behemot..... I just don't know what to says.... just astonishing and really special 🥰 keep up the great work! 🤗
A quick tip on soldering copper tube. A bit of grease where you don't want your solder to wick and you can dab excess solder with a dry cloth while it is still hit. Cuts down on the filing of excess solder immensely. I've soldered a complete case out of 22mm copper tube and bends. Actually second case made that way from scratch. Planning a v3 with motherboard on one side, vertical and the graphics card vertical the other side of a central 28mm copper spine. Psu under the graphics card. Dual loop, dual radiators set at 45° to the spine, 90 degrees between the radiators. Intake front and exhaust rear. Will only tuck the pcie riser, the rest of the cables will be industrial cable ladders in brass, fitted throughout with m3 or m2 stainless bolts. Debating whether or not to strip the radiator paint or not. Will dump it on reddit once I get going
What an absolute masterpiece!! I've had a lot of hands-on experience with soldering copper pipe back in the 1970's working with my grandfather on various housing projects. Everything has to be surgically clean to get a good solid joint, so I think it's impressive that you only had one minor leak out of the whole thing. I'd love to do a build like this if I had the patience and the money. The performance testing was pretty impressive, and proves that you actually have plenty of capacity, even with a single radiator. Nice work my friend!😉👍👍👍
Oiy. I've been working for well over a year on a steampunk, boiler type water cooled PC... I'm not yet finished, this was going to be my introduction into TH-cam😂 pretty impressed with your build, I'm doing mine all by myself and it's difficult to learn a lot of these different techniques. What makes yours different is what is similar to what I envisioned originally for mine, so I've been beaten already and I'm not even half done😂😂😂😂 awesome build by the way
That radiator fits it perfectly. Looks so much beter than the black paint. I had a brand of radiator that will not be named in a bin after i broke down an old build and didnt dry it enough. The humidity and growing mold bubbled the paint off and it looked soooo much better with the paint off. I second the radiator manufacturers should give a paintless option. I would 100% buy them over painted.
What a BEAUTIFUL work of ART!!!! I think that stripping the Rad was the BEST choice EVER i was SO HOPING you were going to do that, It is a MASTERPIECE!!!
I usually not like to watch PC build videos anymore since they mostly are boring copy and paste. This was very good, nicely edited and narrated. Great build overall 😄
This build is awsome, well done! Quick suggestion to make wire pass the bend: try taping one wire to the cable and then a little bit down the line another, it makes no difference in the diameter of the wire bundle, but magically you can pass all the wires, expecially if tou use soime silicone lube to grease them!
Well done. I have no background in plumbing and I'm new to PC building and I was hypnotized by this video (my wife even got into it). It was such a cool process to watch and the final build looks amazing. And now I'm gonna go watch the toaster build.
Absolutely fantastic build and video. I doing know if you have a background in film/video editing, but this gives the impression of a lot of experience, especially for a video that's so long and was filmed over such a long period of time. Consistent video and sound quality is especially difficult. There were a few visual glitches but that's hard to avoid on such massive files. I really hope this video blows up and you get some serious bids on this thing. Looking forward to more videos!
200mm fans is awesome. Ages ago my brother machined an aluminium cover for start button, reset and LEDs that would fit that build so perfect it's insane. Cool build for sure, could have done a push pull configuration with 2 fans since the space is there.
When soldering Copper and Brass you can use a low pressure flow of Nitrogen Gas to displace any Air from inside the system and prevent the Oxidation Scale from forming. This is how Refrigeration loops are soldered.
I absolutely love the combination of form and function, attention to detail and just genuine passion you put into this. Absolutely incredible. Makes me wish I had space for a workshop... and artistic flair! As an aside, might be worth investing in a larger ultrasonic cleaner. SO much less hassle and you can do other things than holding half a piece in the cleaner, and no doubt will pay for itself since no doubt every build would need it at some point.
Just come across this build. Very, VERY, impressive. Agree with the sightglass comments but Hey, can't think of everything! Always been an ambition of mine to add a bank of old style Power Station analogue meters displaying system stats, disk drive & CPU useage etc. This could be an add-on unit to any build. Whatever, absolute genius, complements seem superfluous.
AquaComputer Airplex Modularity System radiators come unpainted. They are expensive AF, but if you want a bare copper fin stack with bare brass end chambers and a bare stainless steel frame, that is available in a bunch of different sizes.
That is proper mad... Props for going through with this, and what a change after the 8 months break! Really wish I had the means to do stuff like this, not to mention the skills and eye for design 😅
Firstly, it has to be said that this is a really great end result. You can see the skill and love in every detail of this build. Absolute respect.👍 As I also have 18 years of experience with water cooling, here are my concerns: If I see correctly, you used soft solder. I had problems with this once before after a few years (although I was still using aluminium in the system at the time). I would prefer the hard soldering. The beautiful polished look will unfortunately fade quite quickly😭, as the copper oxidised very quickly due to the heat. I would have sealed it with lacquer to maintain the shine permanently. The system cannot expand in heat either. Try waterproof membranes. However, these allow the excess pressure to escape. 2.5qmm is definitely the madness, greetings from an electrician 😂 (I am currently integrating my PC into a wall cut-out)
Brilliant steampunk design, I especially love the brass tubing clamps. Your shop is rather like mine....I too use the sander a ton in fabrication and tend to bias labor over efficiency. Its a beautiful hand hewn piece of art, I hope that is reflected in the selling price.
You should make yourself a tap guide brother...it only takes a few degrees off perpindicular to end up with a snapped and stuck tap in your project. And it certainly takes some courage to situate youre entire liquid system ABOVE the electronics system, hope your solder joints are as good as you presume them to be! End result is beautiful 👍

VERY cool build.

This is the first 1 hr video on TH-cam that I've watched in a very long time. Just incredible. Best PC build ever made, hands down.
There's something so wizardly about the silver nail polish while working alchemy with copper and brass.
And not damaging the nail polish, ever. I still can't get over how he does that...
@@ferocious_r They're actually glue-on aluminium nails that I made, so they'll last forever 😉
