Scratch Build – In Progress ___The "MOD MEN" PC___is FINISHED!!!

Episode #5

















​

 

Insane!!! Congrats to Cheaps for this awesome design and to Bill for the assembly!!!
I left you a comment in the YT page suggesting a small video in each show, showing off modders from
around the world. We might include in a 2-3 minute video the working place, our tools and mods. PM me of you like the idea! Congrats again!!

 

Yes, I already presented idea of featuring our viewer mods "IF" we do 2nd season. We really need help spreading the word about Mod Men, so we can do 2nd season!

Thank you AnG3L!

 

Haha bill Gotcha!!



no philips head screws there! hahaha,

Ur doing great work there!

 

We finally get to see the completed MOD MEN pc clap but it's also the final show waah. Congrats to cheapskate, Bill and the rest of the "MOD MEN" on the excellent build and the awesome show!

Love the mod and love the show!

 

Thanks, everyone.
Whew! OK, I can throw the rest of my pics out sometime later now.
-Should watermark 'em too.
It fit together pretty well considering the huge amount of guesstimation and random material thickness.
Did you snap any pics of the unholy mess of wire?

@Cleveland - It's a Taig from deepgroove1.
@Nutman - Oh, the mounting plate for the waterblock. I didn't get to see it either. They might have used the stock plate for all I know.
@Kenny - He did snake a few torx head screws in there! It looks like there might be an extra grill under the motherboard too.


What's with the plushie? Did you think blurring it out would make it less obvious?

Looks like you need to hit the back of the fins with a flashlight to get them to show up.

 

Watching the final episode of modmen left me feeling empty and abandoned, like when I watched the last episode of the wire. OK, not quite. But I did enjoy it and I want to see more with longer episodes. I'd also like to see more of cheaps and others that you work with. I've seen you use many milled parts, I'd like to see how you approach the designing of these and the manufacture.

Looking forward to the next series.

 

Too bad it's finished, I liked the show and like the case

 

God... The nerd in me has taken over completely! I keep thinking "I want one of those Mushkin shirts"

Great show, and a beautiful end to the build! I gotta say it really came to life in a great way!

 

The case looks really nice, only 1 thing i dont like that much. The Memory, its because of the yellow. I know you got it sponsored, maybe you should take a look on the Kingstone hyperX memory (blue heatsinks)

 

I'll miss your videos with casemod tips

 

@k.3nny, good eye

@scott, thank you dude! you know where it sits..

@cheaps, betcha cant name that plushie, (hmm not bad idea for contest)

@Attila, thank you for watching entire series, and Yes, more of cheaps and behind scenes would be great if we can do another season.

@brinkz0r, thank you for watching the entire series!

@Angel OD, will see what I can do, must talk about the Wii mod, will be contacting you offlist

@dralix, I love the Mushkin memory and how it contrasts everything

@Marcos_Viegas, Thank you for watching and commenting!

 

Nice rodent trap!
What sleeving is that? Looks nice!

 

That looks just like the render did in the opening posts. I really like the open look that you've gone for. Totally different to your usual style. A big well done to every one involved, turned out looking brilliant.

 

I got some good laughs out of the first half of episode 5. You're a natural at this Bill. The case turned out very sweet.

 

That's a bit mind-bending, my brain can barely work out it's a pc!

 

amazing case.

 

@Attila - Make 2 designs, throw them out, get idea and build 3rd... Some day I should post my junk folder.
@Dralix - It works out well. The mobo cover leaves that area exposed anyway, and the yellow provides some needed contrast. I was worried we'd make it TOO blue.
@BDJeff - Right down to the low-poly side curves.

 

cool, i guess you don't like the lanboy air then, lol

 

awesome pc, love it!
