I made my own computer. First time in a long time I've owned anything more than a laptop. GTX 970, Intel Core i5 6600K... I wish I knew Ryzen was about to come out when I put it all together. I will have youtube links updated and hopefully closed captions in tomorrow sometime.

Hope you guys enjoy it (and this colorchord teaser) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkZlxNQg4ag

The making of CNLohr's Computer Case

Figured I'd go make this video and put it up, since I had tons of video footage. I made my own computer. First time in a long time I've owned anything more than a laptop. GTX 970, Intel Core i5 6600K... I wish I knew Ryzen was about to come out when I put it all together. 1/4" thick acrylic, with some beefy #10 standoffs make this case quite sturdy. Don't forget to check out the video of it running colorchord! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkZlxNQg4ag Credit for the sound used later in the video goes here: https://freesound.org/people/dobroide/sounds/100387/ Thanks Adam Geary for doing the toolpaths for me for the mill and Unit-E for the use of their facility.
