Hackett's coming to Anaheim in for a couple weeks, and one of the cool thing about Dream Hack is you got a lot of custom computers and stuff.

People ring, and it's the first time that I'm aware of that.

They've come to the West Coast in a long time, if not ever.

I don't remember if Dream Hack was a part of that whole in video mod 24 things, but regardless, I'm going because I can't have a LAN party so close to my backyard and not go.

But I also can't go with a stock looking computer, so we gotta fix that today.

Also to It's really, really, really windy today, and our door wants to Our insulation that I taped up wants to blow off.

So I've got, like, ladders and things, all trying to hold that up from falling down and tires and shelving because I have been too lazy to actually come up with a permanent solution for that door, and it's making a lot of noise.

So if you hear, I'm sorry.

Also, the the heater is on because it's 48 degrees right now and in so Cal attempt that might as well be Antarctica.

But anyway, Dream Hack is coming to so Cal and I'm not gonna miss it.

And I'm also not gonna show up with a stock computer because I'm Jay's to freaking sense and I can't do that, and I could show up with Nebula.

But that's kind of a move, so small foreign factor is where it's at.

So that's why I figured the perfect platform to do this is our corsair one because It's a small compact system.

It's already got a 99 100 K in there.

It's got all SSD and envy and me.

It's got its water cooled.

It's got a 28 e t I.

That's also water cooled.

And I thought this would be the perfect platform to mod.

So the destiny to build that we did in the No.

202 for Mark I would be using the same techniques, and this will be a fairly similar type of build.

In fact, I liked the way his turned out so much.

I said I wanted my own.

So some of my own version of sort of the same weathering techniques, the paint chipping, the undercoat ng the ceiling, even the damage, these air very robust panels.

And they're aluminum, but they're very tough.

So I'm gonna be doing like a like a blaster impact, like a laser impact on this.

Probably the cool thing about this is when you're weathering and distressing, there's no wrong way.

And if you screw something up, that kind of only adds to the theme, I guess, But we're gonna be making this look very Star wars inspired, if you will But if you want no more about the techniques I'm doing on the painting side of things, then you're gonna want to go and check out the destiny to build.

And I will try my best.

Remember to put a Lincoln description below, but it's a very simple technique that works really, really well when you do it properly.

I've also already disassembled this thing fully.

That'd be cool if I had made it so that when it turns on Z in terms of the paints and stuff, I just use basic stuff.

I love the HT.

You can get it at AutoZone or anywhere Auto paint is sold because it dries extremely fast.

We're using the primary cause I don't want you metallics.

The problem is getting any sort of like a top coat like a main by color coat for any of these brands are all like Metallica and I don't want a metallic I want, like a flat battleship gray, so we'll be using primer for that.

But we also we're gonna be having undercoat because of the chipping technique that is gonna be sort of just a silvery color.

I got more disassembly.

I got to do.

So I gotta take, like, these chrome pieces off right here.

They just screw in there and I'll be using my art director.

Some people were really disappointed that they didn't see another.

I fix ad after our last one, like once a month.

Guys, quite honestly, if you guys want to know more about, like, the price of these kits and what's available there isn't linked to this down the description below, and that links directly to my Amazon affiliates.

So it also does give a little kickback to the channel.

If you guys decide to purchase anything and it doesn't cost you any extra, so get something for your money rather than just meat.

I love this assembling thing because I don't label anything.

I just sort of hope it all goes back together.

What I'm doing and then these are probably the most overbuilt panels, Period.

This is the base, and this is the part that the fan goes in.

Listen to this.

That's like satisfying, uh, so I want to do I guess I'd like a blaster impact the idea with the destiny builders.

They got hit with that sword.

That was an easy gash to make.

But laser blasts are different.

They're almost a perfect circle, and then there's kind of a smooth burning in as it goes.

So this is one of those things where I kind of only got one shot at this.

Another reason why I don't want the gash to be too big or whatever is because this particular chassis is designed to only draw air through these vents.

If I give it a big open place for it to cool air through, that's air that won't come through here.

And that's how these radiators have cooling is there's no fans on the radiators because there's single fan on the top pulling air through the chassis.

So it's that conviction assisted cooling.

So if I make a big Blaster hole that is now an efficient way for it to bring Aaron, that's gonna suck.

Wish me luck.

See, the trick is just don't think about it.

The crazy part is I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna turn it.

Think back you think is the worst vacuum I've ever owned.

You hearing protection, we're going there, and you're gonna get you your racing.

Whoa!

Hey, What we learned is don't try to go to dangle until the holes in it.

I was a kid.

I used to think like Leasers musical faster.

So that's probably where I'm going to stop on the damage effects because I really don't want to overdo it.

And I think you know the painting well, really sell the effect.

But you think, Phil, I mean, what's that painted?

And you see the black scorching and stuff Now I had to prep for pain.

We have the door open the fan, So it's noisy anyway.

So this is the base coat we're going with here, which is just like a a silver, because we were kind of looking at some pictures online.

And it seems like whenever there was weathering on these ships, anything in Star Wars that always seem to have, like a white slash really light silver undercoat, like whatever the metal and stuff waas, we are going to be now just doing ah code or two of this silver.

But because it's not that much different than the primer, I'm just gonna do like probably one really light coat and then because it'll stick to the primer really good, and then I'll show you how we're going to the chipping.

Like I said, we did that in Destiny two bills.

I won't go super in depth, but I'll show you how we do the weathering effect, which is pretty cool.

And then we'll do some airbrushing and stuff on.

That's my favorite part.

E worked out pretty well.

So that's two coats of primer just one coat of these silver metallic.

And this this is our structure.

What I mean by that is this is our base coat.

What's gonna be underneath our actual color coat?

And this is what's gonna kind of show through when we do.

The weathering we're gonna do is we're gonna take hair spray.

Doesn't really matter what kind, and we're just going to sort of apply it like some of the corners, different areas.

And what's gonna happen is we're going to spray the next color, which is this darker, more of a cast to O kind of a look and wait.

That's too o que es que tu es Oh, yes, I said, right.

And then we will be chipping away some of this color in weathered areas to make this show or this show through that the other thing you kind of need to stress I need to stress with Hairspray is you need to let it drive like fully, because if it's wet me spray over, it's just just turned gummy.

And then you don't get the same effect that going for here.

So this is the top vent where the Fanis and obviously I don't want to paint this to match.

I want this to be contrast in, like, dark filling out.

We can talk about this.

He's like, What would be neat, though, if you could weather that, So I'm just like, well, you know, why not do it for real?

We want to make the metal underneath sort of show through, but we kind of focus on the corners, get to show through like that.

Okay, so the hair spray is completely dried.

Now, there's a loud truck out there.

Sorry about that.

So now we're gonna put on our top coat.

So before I start doing anything with the hair spray, I'm just going to start getting our blaster marks back now.

I sprayed the blaster areas directly with the hair spray.

So that's why we're getting this nice immediate like chipping, peeling effects.

But what's gonna really sell this just like I did with the destiny bilk is I'm gonna be putting like, black airbrushing on this to make it look scorched.

I'm kind of lifting as I go that way has kind of like a taper sort of ineffective.

What you need to do the chipping water.

I use a toothbrush.

I used to something pokey to get it started.

We'll start with the power button here, something like that, so that I give a place for the water to sort of start to get in there.

Man way go.

I really don't want to overdo it.

If this is an imperial thing, it probably won't have the same level of weathering is like a resistance because resistance had, like, old hand me down stuff.

It's all like, banded together.

I'm just focusing on like, corners and stuff.

We're just going to kind of more subtly give ourselves some weathering.

There's like a before and an after kind of a deal.

These will be black, and obviously this is when the airbrush final work, isn't it?

There's no right or wrong way.

Okay, so what I need to do now is I need to clear coat this.

Watch us.

See, that's just gonna continue to do that.

Because of all the hair spray.

I barely touched it and it shipped up until I seal it, and I'm gonna seal it now with the satin clear.

So we got these stickers made, so we're gonna put the imperial logo here.

We're gonna put this Burbage there, then this village is going to go, like, right there.

So what we're gonna do is we'll be transferred this on there, and they were probably airbrushing and building a little booth again real quick, but airbrushing this on there and then weathering it a little bit like we did with the Warlock logo on the destiny to build.

So I keep telling you guys, go watch that video.

If you don't know how I'm doing all this, You know, I keep showing you how I'm doing it.

Well, how much paint?

It's gonna take off too, when I take the backing Lira.

Oh, wow.

The coming ain't That's taking off with it.

It's okay.

Just extra weather.

Now the central square doesn't Oh, wow.

Yeah, Cassie, that's a complete fail.

Do that all the all the paint stuck right there That sucks.

This'll isn't much smoother surface.

The no to Attu was much more techs.

Cherie, we hear a lot of bite.

I barely touched it on there in the paint.

Came up with it.

Oh, yeah.

So it's almost 1 30 in the afternoon the next day, and as you guys saw, we had a major disaster where we realized the paint was not sticking to the aluminum.

And that's my fault.

Couple reasons.

One.

I didn't prep it properly.

I didn't sand it enough when we did the destiny to build.

I keep referencing that cause it's very similar technique, but as you can see, we're having very different results.

This is anodized aluminum.

This is bare metal.

Even though aluminum has died, it's still bear medals on a coding or anything like that.

It's extremely smooth.

The destiny to build on the note to 02 was on black powder coated steel, so the powder coat was something that the paint was able to stick to very nicely, especially when I stand it.

So as you saw when we tried to do our decal are stencils that we could get to the final stages barely pushing it.

Walk that when I pushed down a lot, but we continued to mess with it.

And even if you barely touch anything tacky whatsoever to the paint, we killed it up.

It brought all the layers up all the way down to the primaries where you saw the black metal underneath.

So I told me I did not do a good job prepping it.

So we started over entirely by stripping everything off back to where the only thing that was done at that point was the holes I made to do it right.

We had to start over.

So what you see now is the results of a few things we've done today.

One completely stripped the metal back down, sanded it with 80 grit to start really scuffed up the metal.
