+1 on the copper stoppers, a very nice touch. Looking forward to your future updates.

Whoo!! New naked thread. Looking forward to what you have in store this time!!

I have to admit I'm going to miss seeing the TJ07 you were doing, but I'm sure you've replaced it with something interesting.
Carry on, as they say!

so with a new project, i think I might as well use some new toys
I picked up a 500D

so far, so good


In saying that,
I think its time I announce my new sponsor

Ah, ive lurked both your build log threads and I LOVED the build. But why are you going with a 500D? Looks like a major down grade IMO.
Nice work though. Love the content!

You guys wanted updates, well you got updates!!!

Pics coming soon, just need to jump into so post processing
But for now!!!

A video:

Sorry WuMyster, the 500D is my camera (Canon T1i)

Hey guys

so here is the complete update as to whats been going on as of late.

This past Thursday, Emma and i traveled to Ottawa for Bluesfest. We wanted to see the black keys.
I have to admit that the train ride was pretty relaxing.

Nothing like zooming along at 100km/h with rain gently falling in my opinion. Easy to sleep to.
Well, Emma could sleep...
I as about 3 deep into these:


So being from Ottawa we didnt need a tour guide. i knew all the cool places to visit. However only took a few pics. Was too engaged in what we were doing

Is there anything more beautiful than a flame that will never burn out?


Where are we?
At the Parliament Buildings!






And just down the street, one of the most beautiful war memorials:


Next to some amazing architecture and carvings


And then onto the National Art Gallery,











This was my favorite shot.
I took it with my phone, conditions were perfect and added some filters in instagram,


It was such an amazing trip.



Made even better seeing these boxes this morning when i returned





Lots of fun stuff i hope!


So much fun stuff!!!!


I think thats a total of 16 fans


But there is something else too!!


We'll get to that later...


Alright fine,

Here is the new PSU!!!






Then again,
how awesome are these fans!

Don't forget to follow and like the links below!​

heatshrinkless looks better 10/10 times imho.

So, I think its time i tell you guys what case im going to use

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjJS6PFfcb0&feature=youtu.be

So I think that my update wont be as big as i promised...


But the case will be


I'm going to be using the Corsair 900D!!!!
Just got it today


As well, i've been a bit busy. Here is what these fingers have been up to.






The ATX cable is done as well, but was a little camera shy this afternoon

Hey Everyone.

Expect a few updates in the next coming days.
I built the loop on monday morning.... but like an idiot I pulled out the pumps 12v cable from its crimp.... So i spent a lot of time Tuesday coming up with a fix. Which I'm happy to say i have with a bit of heatshrink and some well, inspiration lol. The loop is going and temps are great.... but I dont like the look of the tube, and the tube routing. Things are 100% going to change.

Pics tonight or tomorrow..... we'll call this a Beta build because there is a lot more to come and this was just testing out the bugs!

So the system has been set up for a few days now,


Everything running on air, temps were okay, but its about time i get this thing under water.
Up top we have an XSPC EX480 with SP120's in push pull. They're a little loud but I plan on throwing in the Corsair Link System to control the speeds.



In the bottom, we have a Phobya 480 G-Changer V2. Using AF120's for now. (I have 4 left.... giveaways? )
I think it looks pretty good as is.... would be a shame to tear it down wouldnt it?



I'm sure these fans will do a great job, however I do want some SP120s there, i think the higher static air pressure will help in cooling at slower speeds.

Let the tear down begin!!!



Pulling apart the GTX660ti's


Man galaxy makes some nice cards





more later

Hey Everyone!

Sleeving tutorial is up!
I'm working on upping the production quality. I've ordered a few things that should help. Lights, a stability mount for the camera, and potentially an extrenal mic (would need a new cam though, the T1i doesnt have the connections needed :S)


So heres the video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36MfH6dQ6fU&feature=youtu.be

Hey guys, felt like bumping this because well... Lots of new stuff coming tonight

Photoshoot of Beta 2 build of Motivation:Gamer and video editing! yay!!
I finally got the PC back together, so I'm in a good place to show what progress has been made!

To be honest, its still in the beta stage. Loop is pretty much finalized, but lots more to come.

Hey Everyone!
Alright, so i promised an update so here is the update

Sorry it took so long, i was in Windsor, Ontario for an extended long weekend with Emma, visiting family.
So here is what we did!


Basically, it was a great trip!
We decided to do a wine tour on the first day.
I think my dad is excited.



Some of these places were just beautiful!!!






And the wine..... amazing:




So after the wine tour, I decided to show emma around my old stomping grounds in Amherstburg,










Then we went golfing!!






She's got a great natural swing! I was surprised!

After Golf.... BBQ time!





mmmmm Ribs.... Awesome Noms!!!




so that was the trip!!!!

But you want to see the build dont you.

I'll let the pics do the talking then










...
Okay, this case is BEAUTIFUL!!!

What about the inside?
Cleaned caps anyone? I'll show you how to do this later!















I love this drainport..... amazingly simple to use, and very practical.



Still missing the IO plate though..
That will change as well!!!!


What do you guys think?!?!

Hey Everyone.

As promised, here is the video.
Please keep in mind that production value will get better over time. I am planning on getting an H1 for audio and some soft lamps for lighting. Take some stress off the camera and the camera people.

so without delay,
Voila!

Leave your comments here or on YouTube!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjuiNYUpXmY

How are you going to mount the ribs in the 900D? That would be the ultimate mod.

Hey everyone!!!

Alright time to bring this back from the depths
The past few weeks have been awesome. I've gone and upped the production quality big time when it comes to the filming etc. New Lens, Tripod, filters etc...
Lighting and stuff is on the way.


I'm also hoping to have a few renders coming pretty damned soon for ideas with the drivebay!!! i'm gonna do something awesome that i borrowed from my friend Charles


Anyways, so here is the big new video you all have been waiting for:

Make sure you subscribe or like the facebook page to enter!!! links below!

Hey guys,

I teased the update a bit earlier on Instagram,
So here is the preview of what i want to to do




I'll do a more comprehensive writeup with regards to materials, the planning process and everything.
Basically the "yellow highlighted areas" are going to be custom light plates that hold the SSD's and HDD's
Its going to be very similar to what you've seen in other amazing builds, but I'll be adding my personal twist to it.

#NoCompromise

Hey guys,

This is more of a production type of update, while updating some stuff i want to do with the loop.

I received a package from some awesome people over at Cowboy Studio


They are amazing, great studio lights, 5500k illumination so its practically daylight!


So lets see how things look with better lighting!

this is something i want to change. Sure the lighting looks great, but i think I'm going to end up rotating the block so that the inlet is at the top, and the outlet is at the bottom. Might make this look a lot cleaner


I'm so in love with this sleeve. MDPC-X is amazing stuff. I need to buy more i've already run out.




However, these images also revealed that i need to fix the run from the GPU block, to the res. This doesn't look good and it looks likes its kinking a bit. A little too much there.



As well,
I was a FanExpo yesterday, I shot some great footage with some amazing cosplayers.
I had the chance to speak with some of the Xbox people, unfortunately Ubisoft and Playstation PR guys were pretty wrapped up with conventional media time, so they couldn't fit me in.

However, this is where even more bad news comes in.
Yet, here is some back story just to show you how bad the day was.

Started off the day with a major delay with the subway with a Toronto fire department investigation. Some idiot at the station pulled the fire alarm.
Next, arriving at FanExpo an hour late, Teletoon had lost my weekend passes and my press pass. We waited an hour for the weekend pass to be fixed, but i couldn't get my press certification back.
So, pushing that emotional let down aside, I attempted to do the best i could with the interviews i could muster.

After conducting all my interviews, I play back some of the audio. Sounded great, then all the sudden my data is gone. I plug the microSD card in my phone, and it wont read. i try my card reader at home, nothing.
All my externally recorded audio is gone. The MicroSD card is dead....

I want to break something. But, thinking positive, I'm Motivated to make sure i get this done, so that i dont let down those who were kind enough to support me, and give me their time for these interviews.
We'll see what i have in store

Seems like whenever I make some positive gains with this build and everything else im perusing, i take a step back.
Lesson? Only Class 10 microSD's. they are not all created equal.





Motivation: Gamer - Do what motivates you.

Bummer about that SD card, I took my phone snorkeling in Hawaii once, and the cheapo SD card still works fine (the phone, not so much)...

I guess I need to make an order with MDPC-X as well, the problem is I don't have my Motherboard CPU, memory etc so I really don't know how much to order as I have never sleeved anything before. How do you figure that stuff out? I'm not even sure I want to re-use my trusty modular 1200 watt Thermaltake tuffpower I purchased many years ago. It came looking pretty ruff and all scratched up from shipping. I guess I could paint it or something...

Anyways keep up the good work.
