Open Bench PC Scratch Build (Time Lapse)

Made from plywood scrap and some allthread bought from eBay.

Built-in monitor and power distribution.

Not shown in this video: if you look closely, the back of the white power switch (which controls the PSU's mains electricity supply) is insulated only with gaffer tape. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that THIS IS NOT SAFE. After everything had been tested I insulated the power switch recess properly with epoxy resin potting compound. The mains cables coming out of the junction box are also now properly anchored.

I won't be held responsible for any idiots out there electrocuting themselves. If you're not sure of what you're doing, don't do it!

All questions welcome!

How did you stick down the PSU Hot glue gun ? build the same sort of thing on a cork message board need to know how to stick down

@roundNDround Oops sorry I didn't catch your comment back in July. Hope your project worked out! I was lucky to have a PSU with a fan enclosure that stuck out by about half an inch so it just slotted in to the hole I cut for it. You can see what I mean at 2:17-ish - it's lying on the floor in the background.

@snowchaser7 I wish it was! It's actually really dull most of the time because we're in a ground floor flat. I just happened to leave the camera on manual exposure, only half deliberately!

@shizzlepikle Also you can be camera operator. Gotta work the angles man.

@blackworx let's do it! It would be fun! I am crap at making things, but my banter and tea making skills make up for it!

[blackworx]

@shizzlepikle funny you should mention that. I have a couple of 8" woofers lying in wait...

Make more videos! We should do stop motion speaker building!
