For people worried about the thermals: they actually look great! Might not be obvious to people skipping through, but there are 3 separate floors, each floor has case fans near the windows making for a very efficient air-flow! Not to say it's an optimal setup, but the thermals are better than the off-the-shelf computers we used before!
As a computer tech, I wasn't worried about the thermals. However if you have to work on anything regarding the motherboard, it's going to be a PITA to work on it, considering you have a large radiator with short wires and hoses fed through that hole. Good luck with that.
When we build our wooden PC case all any one would comment about was the thermals with wood. its like DUDES WE GOT IT lol We promise its working or we wouldnt do it this way! This build is amazing!
Maybe tag a good tech RUclipsr, and ask them to have a look? :) My top pick would be Gamers Nexus. They're very busy though. But there's lots of other tech RUclipsrs. :) I noticed that some of us had comments about the tech side of the build. But there is no way of knowing who is skilled or not amongst the tech comments.

Great build! I would just advise, for such a "case", to make both fans suck in the air creating a positive pressure with a fine steel mesh (or so) as dust filter. If you have most fans blowing air outside, creating a negative pressure, all windows and small kracks and holes will start to collect dust. With a positive pressure only the two fans will get a bit dusty but all other places will just vent out warm air. Just some long term advice ^^.
Also need to mention that the power supply is "backwards". Than fan pointing inside the case is the "exhaust", it should be pointing outside (which, in this case would mean raising the whole house on some kind of feets)
As someone who has built more computers than I care to count, I think my favorite part of the assembly was you touching the copper pipes to discharge the static. Most people ignore this, and few know just how much damage static can do to components (ISO-9001 certification). Kudos on a great build. Welcome to the modding community.
Static does almost nothing to the PC components as Electroboom and LTT did demonstrate. If something "had died from static" it wasn't static that had killed it, it was something else that was the reason for the death. Bad component, shoddy trace, damaged chip, etc.
@@Vladimir_Kv Yeah, but it's not hard to do and if it can remove any chance to break expensive components, I would always do it. Even if it's not likely to do anything.
If you cycle the power once or twice without a plug in it does the exact same thing as "discharging" every step or "wearing a static band" which totally wasn't an attempt to sell people useless stuff.... in effect you could willfully try to build static into the part and the grounding of the psu would in essence negate it...

@@bensunnyisaac Yeah, gotta love that Alt+0174. I have a few of those memorized, so I guess I'm nerdy, but a true nerd wouldn't have misspelled "Lots" like I did. 😄
This build is breathtaking, you should make a desk setup where the monitor and peripherals also have this medieval esthetic. The one thing I would personally add is a bit more greenery. Outstanding build!
oh sure, it's not enough for the computer to be made of wood which is a flammable material anymore, let's add more plastic to it, it seems like a great idea
@@wsapalas It's a computer not an oven, wooden patios don't catch fire even if they are exposed to a scorching summer sun. Anyhow, your computer will shut down if it reaches temps deemed dangerous for the hardware, as my old ass AMD cpu showed me will trying to survive a gaming session in a hot summer night. Plus, many PC parts have plastics already (like the case of a graphics cards, the racks for some hard drives, the plastic around cables...) Unless you decided to watercool your computer with gasoline, there's really nothing wrong. Best exemple is how you can carry a computer in your pocket without it catching fire even though its completely in a plastic case (e.g. your smartphone)
@@Davmm96 The question is not that it will catch fire, the question is if it catches fire, it is still an electronic component subject to failures, many modern Samsung cell phones exploded for no reason, so besides the question that the colder the processor works the better , there is still the question that if it has a short circuit or some fault it will not be wrapped in a flammable material, besides the wood absorbs heat, comparing a computer with a wooden patio is like comparing a car with a broom.
This is by far one of the best and most skilled builds I've ever seen, your artistic skills are insane. Thank you for sharing such an amazing thing. The details in the cosmetic and functionality are off the charts. Just plain awesome!
This is the most genius, amazing thing, there is... I dunno, I think that's about as accurate as my words will get. You guys are insane haha. What a project!!! Bravo. 🙂
SRSLY, SO INGENIOUS. makes you wonder why the pc industry doesn't do stuff that don't necessarily cater to the cyberpunk aesthetic only, there's so much you can do and so many styles to explore and offer
@N W any item in your room probably caters to who you are and wish to be as a person, and that does not exclude your computer if it works great but it also caters to your general aesthetic and personality then there's nothing wrong with that making it about gender and stereotype is actually a little ignorant ngl, maybe check yourself, take a moment to reflect on your views around ppl man
I just found your channel (RUclips recommended that to me) and I love everything you guys do. Creativity, professionalism , DIY, painting, dioramas, re-binding books, PC-build and stuff like that. Now, you have a loyal follower from Hungary too. My best wishes. Your are adorable, Martina. I love your fancy hair colors and so on...
Well it works and most certainly looks amazing, but she did quite a few mistakes. You usually finish up the motherboard except AIO and GPU outside of the case. The biggest oof is propably that she removed the cpu cover, which is supposed to pop out when you push down the lever, you can see it at 15:56 it's still there and after the cut it's removed. She also forgot some peels and only one intake on the MB/GPU compartment which is not even directed at the GPU is definetely not sufficient. The PSU fan is inside of the compartment and therefore relies soely on negative pressure intake which will suck in dust and is inefficient.
This could be a whole new trend for pcs, someone doing this kinds of PCs would hardly have any competition. I'm already imagining the $20-50k price tags on these... And they could be marketed as furniture...
To be honest, you are so right. I mean, this piece of art IS furniture at its most beautiful. This could become a niched brand and maybe the actual pc-tower might become the most expensive part of a PC-build and that says something, when you have the current prices of graphics cards for a comparison.
0:29 “I choose to see no downsides” is my new third favorite quote, right behind “If the weather can’t be nice 2 days in a row, neither can I” and “If nobody comes from the future to stop you, how bad of decision can it really be”
I know I say this on every project, too, but: Incredible! This would be an awesome “miniature” all on its own, but there is an entire water cooled PC in there!! How your mind works is just amazing. The details are EVERYTHING. The paint job is so beautiful. Just fantastic. I’d like to see you maybe create a matching screen surround, a resin keyboard (you can buy the molds now), and a custom mouse to compete the set up!
Do not sell your self short. You are very talented. The build that you did is outstanding. I really enjoyed watching you do this. I am totally sure that, it will encourage others to do this. Thanks again for your time and taking us along on this project.
Martina, I have created, crafted, painted, et al for the past 50+ years and I so enjoy watching you plan & create your projects. You have an artists sensibility & the way you creatively make your vision come to life using a variety of mediums shows your mastery. May you have many many more years to populate your surroundings with art & bless those lucky enough to witness & share it. Kudos!
This has to be the most creative PC case I've ever seen that was built from scratch. I really love it. They way you made the bricks, and your painting skills are incredible.
When 'Particle Emission' from Silver Maple started playing in the background ( 1:45 ) for a few seconds, I instantly knew that I had to stay for the entire video. Then I watched another one. And another one. Now I'm officially hooked. Not just because of your amazing videos and your choice of background music, but because your work is truly amazing in every aspect. Thanks, @Nerdforge; your channel is - at least for me - one of the most entertaining on here.
Ok, never seen your channel ever, but this honestly scratches so many itches. Love seeing PC builds, and this is honestly one of the best out there, despite it being your first time. Then there's the commitment to craft. I kinda think my next PC build will be in something like this. Just need to get on with removing some of my 3.5" drives so I only have to deal with a few.
I thought the disco lights were throwing off the aesthetics, but then I thought hey, that could be a wizard’s house and he has a portal to another dimension in his living room 😂 Amazing build as always! 🤩
I am always amazed. One time it looks great, then she ads dark and it looks coller, then she ads the brown wash and it looks EVEN MORE cool and adds and adds more and more and it still gets better and better
sis not only BUILT a pc, she made it look like a fantasy book like house where a family of wizards live. this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen anyone make. GREAT JOB!!!
The PC looks absolutely incredible! One question i have for behind the forge is what your thoughts are on the materials holding up to the heat from the components over time as pcs can get quite hot
There is such a huge volume of air and good airflow (at least if all the fans are mounted so they co-operate) that it won't get warm in there really, I'd guess air temps in that case will be something like 30C max for a 20C ish room, and honestly I'd expect the air temp in there to be nearly ambient, its rather better ventilated than any steel PC case I've ever seen, even the largely mesh ones tend to use a much finer more restrictive mesh - so that just leaves the exhaust air temp being too high, but as the bulk of that should come out the back side even if it does soften the hot glue (and it would have to be the very low temp hot glue) who cares..
@@ptowzapotato4157 at least for the wood angles/joints she was also using nails... So I think they should be fine at least... Donno about the foam, but I think the build has enough cooling.
You should make a house just like that, but add an interior. Then when you take apart the layers you can look at it. In fact you could make a whole civilization with a lot of tiny houses
One way to avoid individual bricks is to carve out stone patterns from one large piece of Styrofoam using a hot knife. You can then attach the panel to the structure as one piece. I don't know if my description is accurate enough so you can see it in your head.
Ooo. You could replace the wood between each floor with like latic metal to increase airflow. Probably open some fan slots in the bottom floor to allow fan intake then have the roof shingles have gaps to alow air to flow out. Would be a good way to reduce the beat of the system.
Very cool to see, not just the computer built into the model (which is amazing!), but the planning process and techniques for such a large piece of terrain all together in one video.
I don't have enough words to tell how inspiring this is. If I ever feel blue and run out of ideas, I just watch some of your videos and immediately feel the urge to create something beautiful.
I have become hooked on your videos since accidentally finding them! WHAT A WONDERFUL CHANNEL! And so skilled, so creative, so intelligent, so talented, so...let's just say I love everything that Martina does. Time to hit the shop for a hoodie. :)
I love watching Nerdforge videos! I get so inspired every time I see the amazing creativity in every projects you guys create. Thank you for doing what you!
damn i was pretty interested to see how you were gonna pull of the hardline cooling but it was probably a really good call to go with the AIO instead. there's more than enough DIY on this build any way. I swear every time a new layer of detail was added on the paint i would think it looked so realistic then another layer would be added and id realize how goofy it looked with out it. great build.
Little Tip from a PC-Nerd: If you make a Video about PC-Builds, allways put the components into the desription. Now that this is out of my head, I can enjoy your amazing Idea of combining the world of two nerd related topics.
Wow, what an amazing and beautiful build. Allways stunned by your art projects. Would be interessting to see a stress test with temperatures of this build.
Yeah, gf just sent this to me saying if I wanted to build a computer I needed to do this. Because we all have what looks to be 3k laying around! I need the parts list :(

My eyes: It's garden spade. My brain: It's a garden spade. My soul: It's a mic. Martina is so convincing that I get surprised her voice is still as loud as normally when she moves the spade further away from her mouth. Anyone else?
Martina: Creates from scratch, one of the most amazing model fantasy buildings I have ever seen... Also Martina: "It might not be mind-blowingly amazing as I wanted it to be..." The humility is astounding!! 🤯
VERY WHIMSICAL!!!! I LOVE THIS BUILD! Just a suggestion, the third floor (where the radiator was installed) you could open up the floor a bit to make a "stack effect" so the heat from the first and the second floor can flow from the bottom to the top and into the radiator, much like how you would design a real house/building. Also, just a very little detail tip, the fans on the second floor i think are installed the wrong side because the frame of the fan (the x braces) are facing the window instead of inside the house.
I could see this on a desk that’s designed to be a backdrop for the house. Scenery and clever tricks to make everything computer blend into something more organic. Great job!
Your artistic vision and execution blows my mind every time. This was so amazing to watch. You didn't just mod a case, you literally created a case. I would love something like this for my own system. Keep doing what you do. You are VERY talented.
That is very unique and beautiful... just keep in mind if the exterior is mostly wood/paper that you have even less protection against electrostatic discharge than my open concept rig. Avoid moving it, maybe put it near something else safe you can touch first before you push the buttons, etc. This is especially a problem in the dry winter months.
PCs nowadays are very resilient to electrostatic discharge, there is a video by Jay'sTwoCent that covers this topic ruclips.net/video/xdzo-uAvz5Y/видео.html
Yes, PCs are hard to break in this manner when they are properly grounded. However, they are easy to *crash*. You can crash the machine plugging in perhipherals, etc. My open concept rig used to trip a failsafe when there was an ESD across the room on the same circuit. Needless to say, I replaced my crappy surge protector after that happened. Also, the likelyhood that components will break varies. Why play russian roulette with your kit? A little caution is not a bad thing.
That is so cool tho, never seen a pc case that looked like that and it’s really unique and it is a piece of art! You guys did an amazing job! The textures and details are amazing and I’m sure they took forever!!! Same with the painting! You should be proud
I'm so amazed, i mean, i don't even thint about the posibilitie of mount a pc on a structure difrent of a regular gabinet. Thank you for your awesome work
This is such an amazing thing to see. First the actual building is amazing. The details that you take time to get just right, and the paint looks soo good too. The fact that this is also a computer just blows my mind. Thankyou for making such amazing projects. I feel inspired by this to go and try to make something myself. I know it would never be as good as this, but hey, it's only partially about the end result and part about the experience and enjoyment you get during the project too right?

As someone who has built more computers than I care to count, I think my favorite part of the assembly was you touching the copper pipes to discharge the static. Most people ignore this, and few know just how much damage static can do to components (ISO-9001 certification). Kudos on a great build. Welcome to the modding community.
I don't know. Linus made that video about it where it was kinda hard tp break anything with static
Static does almost nothing to the PC components as Electroboom and LTT did demonstrate.
If something "had died from static" it wasn't static that had killed it, it was something else that was the reason for the death. Bad component, shoddy trace, damaged chip, etc.
@@Vladimir_Kv Yeah, but it's not hard to do and if it can remove any chance to break expensive components, I would always do it. Even if it's not likely to do anything.
It's a one-second step to remove a .1% chance of damaging a $100-1000 component, i.e. always worth it.
If you cycle the power once or twice without a plug in it does the exact same thing as "discharging" every step or "wearing a static band" which totally wasn't an attempt to sell people useless stuff.... in effect you could willfully try to build static into the part and the grounding of the psu would in essence negate it...
Used to do crazy shit like this before I got a "real job". Now the only happiness I get is by watching you and jazza...

The best thing is, if anyone ever breaks in, they’ll never know that it’s a computer
Except for approx 1.25M people who know exactly what it is and so what of wanna have it xD

Also, throwback to LAN parties!! Hahaha I doubt that kids still do that. We must be old! 😂
Can I ask what a LAN party even is?
I'm curious too :0
@@DreamCatcherNightcore A LAN is a local area network in IT. A LAN party is usually when a group of friends or a group of people would get together to create a LAN using ethernet cables and then play games together :)
There are still big LAN parties with hundreds of players, mostly without kids 😁
It's not the same though, not an "at home" thing anymore
Maybe it doesn't count cause we're all in our 20's but my group would do a lan party if we all had the time for it
Imagine bringing this to a LAN party… sheesh you had to bring your whole house didn’t you!? :)
:D:D:D:D:D
@@FatDancer08 Local Area Network.. Basically: Friends bringing their PC's at one person's place to play games together. Or any device really and play 'local' together on the same network.
@@FatDancer08 Grandpa: back in my day when you wanted to play multiplayer games without lag you would have to bring your whole PC and monitor to a friends house. Connecting the PCs with a hub or router for a wired direct connection aka LAN or Local Area Network :)

Yeah she says things like that all the time. She should really stop downplaying herself. I don't think she understands just how amazing she truly is. She's one of the most multitalented and skilled people I've ever seen. Literally every project she does comes out spectacular.
This is awesome!!
When's the next video?
It is, your Art is awesome2! ☺
Hi Gawx!! Estoy esperando tu nuevo video! Me encantan!!!! Espero que hasta pronto! Saludos 😁🥳
The most important part: "it's gonna be fun to make." That is why I watch your videos, you build what you want and have fun.
Finally, a true "home" computer, and it has Windows®! Lot's of them! I love it! Great job!
Love the Registered trademark in the comment. LOL. You, sir/ma'am, are a true nerd.
@@bensunnyisaac Yeah, gotta love that Alt+0174. I have a few of those memorized, so I guess I'm nerdy, but a true nerd wouldn't have misspelled "Lots" like I did. 😄
but are there 10 windows?
@@FrVitoBe 10 or 11, but every one of them is a pane in the glass. 😉
i C what u did there!!!
I'm glad you water-cooled it because I was mostly concerned about how well it would be ventilated.
This build is breathtaking, you should make a desk setup where the monitor and peripherals also have this medieval esthetic. The one thing I would personally add is a bit more greenery. Outstanding build!
oh sure, it's not enough for the computer to be made of wood which is a flammable material anymore, let's add more plastic to it, it seems like a great idea
@@wsapalas It's a computer not an oven, wooden patios don't catch fire even if they are exposed to a scorching summer sun. Anyhow, your computer will shut down if it reaches temps deemed dangerous for the hardware, as my old ass AMD cpu showed me will trying to survive a gaming session in a hot summer night.
Plus, many PC parts have plastics already (like the case of a graphics cards, the racks for some hard drives, the plastic around cables...)
Unless you decided to watercool your computer with gasoline, there's really nothing wrong. Best exemple is how you can carry a computer in your pocket without it catching fire even though its completely in a plastic case (e.g. your smartphone)
@@Davmm96 The question is not that it will catch fire, the question is if it catches fire, it is still an electronic component subject to failures, many modern Samsung cell phones exploded for no reason, so besides the question that the colder the processor works the better , there is still the question that if it has a short circuit or some fault it will not be wrapped in a flammable material, besides the wood absorbs heat, comparing a computer with a wooden patio is like comparing a car with a broom.
This is by far one of the best and most skilled builds I've ever seen, your artistic skills are insane. Thank you for sharing such an amazing thing. The details in the cosmetic and functionality are off the charts. Just plain awesome!
Wow, thank you!
This is the most genius, amazing thing, there is... I dunno, I think that's about as accurate as my words will get.
You guys are insane haha. What a project!!! Bravo. 🙂
Oh yeah, I fully agree! 🤘💯🔥😀
You say pastoral joke😂😂😂😂
SRSLY, SO INGENIOUS. makes you wonder why the pc industry doesn't do stuff that don't necessarily cater to the cyberpunk aesthetic only, there's so much you can do and so many styles to explore and offer
@N W any item in your room probably caters to who you are and wish to be as a person, and that does not exclude your computer
if it works great but it also caters to your general aesthetic and personality then there's nothing wrong with that
making it about gender and stereotype is actually a little ignorant ngl, maybe check yourself, take a moment to reflect on your views around ppl man
@@cal.icopen thank u lol. Ppl just had to make it about her gender lol
I just found your channel (RUclips recommended that to me) and I love everything you guys do. Creativity, professionalism , DIY, painting, dioramas, re-binding books, PC-build and stuff like that. Now, you have a loyal follower from Hungary too. My best wishes. Your are adorable, Martina. I love your fancy hair colors and so on...
The fact that your painting holds up to close ups says everything about your skill as an artist. It's stunning.
Martina: Ive never done this before
*proceeds to do the thing perfectly
Well it works and most certainly looks amazing, but she did quite a few mistakes. You usually finish up the motherboard except AIO and GPU outside of the case. The biggest oof is propably that she removed the cpu cover, which is supposed to pop out when you push down the lever, you can see it at 15:56 it's still there and after the cut it's removed. She also forgot some peels and only one intake on the MB/GPU compartment which is not even directed at the GPU is definetely not sufficient. The PSU fan is inside of the compartment and therefore relies soely on negative pressure intake which will suck in dust and is inefficient.
This could be a whole new trend for pcs, someone doing this kinds of PCs would hardly have any competition. I'm already imagining the $20-50k price tags on these... And they could be marketed as furniture...
Never though of that. You have vision boi
To be honest, you are so right. I mean, this piece of art IS furniture at its most beautiful. This could become a niched brand and maybe the actual pc-tower might become the most expensive part of a PC-build and that says something, when you have the current prices of graphics cards for a comparison.
20k loool

Honestly, I don't care that this is "extra" I would just stare lovingly at my PC all day if I had a desktop like this. Amazing work as always!!
I would LOVE to have a PC like that sitting on my desk! Excellent work. =D
It would love to have a desk big enough for that ;-)

That's no fire inside if the building, it's the eye of sauron on his day off.
I know I say this on every project, too, but: Incredible! This would be an awesome “miniature” all on its own, but there is an entire water cooled PC in there!! How your mind works is just amazing. The details are EVERYTHING. The paint job is so beautiful. Just fantastic.
I’d like to see you maybe create a matching screen surround, a resin keyboard (you can buy the molds now), and a custom mouse to compete the set up!
Do not sell your self short. You are very talented. The build that you did is outstanding. I really enjoyed watching you do this. I am totally sure that, it will encourage others to do this. Thanks again for your time and taking us along on this project.
Where can one buy that talent, in making such wonderfull buildings?lol!! this is wonderfull to watch...she's absolutely a Talent !!!
This PC literally has windows installed. Jokes aside this is one of the coolest builds I've ever seen on YT.
I typically use my Mac to prevent my windows from slamming shut when I open them. I'm very thankful Apple built Macs to support Windows.
Nothing gets me more excited than a table full of new pc components
Martina, I have created, crafted, painted, et al for the past 50+ years and I so enjoy watching you plan & create your projects. You have an artists sensibility & the way you creatively make your vision come to life using a variety of mediums shows your mastery. May you have many many more years to populate your surroundings with art & bless those lucky enough to witness & share it. Kudos!
The best part is that when the computer becomes old and outdated, you still have a stunning art piece to keep.
or you just upgrade it...? It's a PC not a fucking console

This has to be the most creative PC case I've ever seen that was built from scratch. I really love it. They way you made the bricks, and your painting skills are incredible.
When 'Particle Emission' from Silver Maple started playing in the background ( 1:45 ) for a few seconds, I instantly knew that I had to stay for the entire video. Then I watched another one. And another one. Now I'm officially hooked. Not just because of your amazing videos and your choice of background music, but because your work is truly amazing in every aspect. Thanks, @Nerdforge; your channel is - at least for me - one of the most entertaining on here.
Ok, never seen your channel ever, but this honestly scratches so many itches. Love seeing PC builds, and this is honestly one of the best out there, despite it being your first time. Then there's the commitment to craft. I kinda think my next PC build will be in something like this. Just need to get on with removing some of my 3.5" drives so I only have to deal with a few.
Scale Builder's Guild did a pretty cool one, his editing PC is in a scale radio control semi truck
I'm sure that you guys would win a PC Custome Contest if you Bring this masterpiece.
Amazing work.
This project gives a whole new meaning to "Home PC".
nice.....very nice
It's a little like traveling back in time to where computers we're large like rooms. Really great. Love it.
The lights coming from inside kinda makes it look like some witch is trying to make spells or potions in the house! This is mind-blowingly AMAZING!!!
I thought the disco lights were throwing off the aesthetics, but then I thought hey, that could be a wizard’s house and he has a portal to another dimension in his living room 😂
Amazing build as always! 🤩
Wizard rave!
There’s your personalisation idea if you want to do your own. A Wizard’s PC Tower 😁
I'm pretty excited about this video, I saw the thumbnail and I thought "that's a pc?"

I don't know what I'm most impressed with, the idea, the design, the realization... WOW. Great job!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing Martina is at painting?
I am always amazed. One time it looks great, then she ads dark and it looks coller, then she ads the brown wash and it looks EVEN MORE cool and adds and adds more and more and it still gets better and better
I am mostly amazed at how fast she paints, it's almost as if they sped it up 😁
sis not only BUILT a pc, she made it look like a fantasy book like house where a family of wizards live.
this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen anyone make. GREAT JOB!!!
Ok, yeah.
You've officially reached goddess status. This build is completely out of the park.
Oh yeah, I’ve long ago stopped believing this channel is run by mortals
@@bagandbroad i'm discovering it with this video, now i'm dying
Oh man, with those lights this would look really cool in something like a Cathedral with stained glass. Very cool!
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! 😲 3 weeks well spent!
I was thinking to myself "it would be nice if there was lighting inside to look like fires" and then you set the lighting on the fans... perfect.
At the 12:00 mark I was jacked to the tits about how awesome this building was. *Then I remembered that a computer is going to go inside.*
I LOVE YOUR POKÉMON MODELS
I would love to see a howel's moving castle case and pc build. That would be so epic.
The PC looks absolutely incredible! One question i have for behind the forge is what your thoughts are on the materials holding up to the heat from the components over time as pcs can get quite hot
Yeah I'm especially conserned about the hot glue and the foam, I'm hoping the water cooling will help keep thermals down enough tho
There is such a huge volume of air and good airflow (at least if all the fans are mounted so they co-operate) that it won't get warm in there really, I'd guess air temps in that case will be something like 30C max for a 20C ish room, and honestly I'd expect the air temp in there to be nearly ambient, its rather better ventilated than any steel PC case I've ever seen, even the largely mesh ones tend to use a much finer more restrictive mesh - so that just leaves the exhaust air temp being too high, but as the bulk of that should come out the back side even if it does soften the hot glue (and it would have to be the very low temp hot glue) who cares..
@@ptowzapotato4157 i don't think the temps will get anywhere near the melting point of hotglue which is 180°C to 200°C
Water cooling is epic. I have it mine. They might need to reenforce it with metal later.
@@ptowzapotato4157 at least for the wood angles/joints she was also using nails... So I think they should be fine at least... Donno about the foam, but I think the build has enough cooling.
ZHC: customizes stuff
Martina: look what he needs to mimic a fraction of my power
*builds entire pc casing from scratch*
Try decorating the screen with the same theme so they match, I think that would be very cool!
12:09 this looks straight out of a movie/game mindblowing goodjob really
Cardboard Aided Design (CAD), always worth a try and generally works very well, especially with the duct tape add-on package 😊
Martina: Running and hiding.
Me: Is she stealing gravel again.
Martina: She is stealing gravel again.
Love the build!!
You should make a house just like that, but add an interior. Then when you take apart the layers you can look at it. In fact you could make a whole civilization with a lot of tiny houses
But think how many _bricks_ they'd have to make :,)
One way to avoid individual bricks is to carve out stone patterns from one large piece of Styrofoam using a hot knife. You can then attach the panel to the structure as one piece. I don't know if my description is accurate enough so you can see it in your head.
Ooo. You could replace the wood between each floor with like latic metal to increase airflow. Probably open some fan slots in the bottom floor to allow fan intake then have the roof shingles have gaps to alow air to flow out. Would be a good way to reduce the beat of the system.
that paint job is definitely mind-blowingly amazing, along with the rest of the construction.
Very cool to see, not just the computer built into the model (which is amazing!), but the planning process and techniques for such a large piece of terrain all together in one video.
I don't have enough words to tell how inspiring this is. If I ever feel blue and run out of ideas, I just watch some of your videos and immediately feel the urge to create something beautiful.
I have become hooked on your videos since accidentally finding them! WHAT A WONDERFUL CHANNEL! And so skilled, so creative, so intelligent, so talented, so...let's just say I love everything that Martina does. Time to hit the shop for a hoodie. :)
It’s just lovely ❤
I love watching Nerdforge videos! I get so inspired every time I see the amazing creativity in every projects you guys create. Thank you for doing what you!
damn i was pretty interested to see how you were gonna pull of the hardline cooling but it was probably a really good call to go with the AIO instead. there's more than enough DIY on this build any way.
I swear every time a new layer of detail was added on the paint i would think it looked so realistic then another layer would be added and id realize how goofy it looked with out it. great build.
I'd love to see Martina model a house in the sims and them make it in the studio! :D I love this creative pc!
A wizard lives in that house, and he REALLY likes casting fireball.
Little Tip from a PC-Nerd: If you make a Video about PC-Builds, allways put the components into the desription.
Now that this is out of my head, I can enjoy your amazing Idea of combining the world of two nerd related topics.
Wow, what an amazing and beautiful build. Allways stunned by your art projects.
Would be interessting to see a stress test with temperatures of this build.
Yeah, gf just sent this to me saying if I wanted to build a computer I needed to do this. Because we all have what looks to be 3k laying around! I need the parts list :(
@@abird5575 the components, apart from the GPU, are a couple of generations behind by now, but these are the specs:

My eyes: It's garden spade.
My brain: It's a garden spade.
My soul: It's a mic.
Martina is so convincing that I get surprised her voice is still as loud as normally when she moves the spade further away from her mouth. Anyone else?
I spent half a year thinking the spade was "hiding" a mic, that she was holding both.
I think, she has a Lavalier mic attached hidden under her shirt^^
Martina: Creates from scratch, one of the most amazing model fantasy buildings I have ever seen...
Also Martina: "It might not be mind-blowingly amazing as I wanted it to be..."
The humility is astounding!! 🤯
I wish I could do this stuff without these problems:
1. My parents worrying
2. Me not having the resources
Most obnoxious and super awesome PC case ever. Nice one!
VERY WHIMSICAL!!!! I LOVE THIS BUILD! Just a suggestion, the third floor (where the radiator was installed) you could open up the floor a bit to make a "stack effect" so the heat from the first and the second floor can flow from the bottom to the top and into the radiator, much like how you would design a real house/building. Also, just a very little detail tip, the fans on the second floor i think are installed the wrong side because the frame of the fan (the x braces) are facing the window instead of inside the house.
I could see this on a desk that’s designed to be a backdrop for the house. Scenery and clever tricks to make everything computer blend into something more organic. Great job!
Every time I thought the paint job looked awesome you put another layer on it and made it look more awesome.
It almost looks like the Hocus Pocus house. It's just missing the water wheel. Great build.
Your artistic vision and execution blows my mind every time. This was so amazing to watch. You didn't just mod a case, you literally created a case. I would love something like this for my own system. Keep doing what you do. You are VERY talented.
That is very unique and beautiful... just keep in mind if the exterior is mostly wood/paper that you have even less protection against electrostatic discharge than my open concept rig. Avoid moving it, maybe put it near something else safe you can touch first before you push the buttons, etc. This is especially a problem in the dry winter months.
This is very informative, I know that things could get complex with PCs, but never knew this was an aspect to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing!
PCs nowadays are very resilient to electrostatic discharge, there is a video by Jay'sTwoCent that covers this topic ruclips.net/video/xdzo-uAvz5Y/видео.html
And there is one video by LinusTechTips on the subject ruclips.net/video/nXkgbmr3dRA/видео.html
Yes, PCs are hard to break in this manner when they are properly grounded. However, they are easy to *crash*. You can crash the machine plugging in perhipherals, etc. My open concept rig used to trip a failsafe when there was an ESD across the room on the same circuit. Needless to say, I replaced my crappy surge protector after that happened.
Also, the likelyhood that components will break varies. Why play russian roulette with your kit? A little caution is not a bad thing.
18:09 "We installed Windows."
That is so cool tho, never seen a pc case that looked like that and it’s really unique and it is a piece of art! You guys did an amazing job! The textures and details are amazing and I’m sure they took forever!!! Same with the painting! You should be proud
I'm so amazed, i mean, i don't even thint about the posibilitie of mount a pc on a structure difrent of a regular gabinet.
Thank you for your awesome work
This is such an amazing thing to see. First the actual building is amazing. The details that you take time to get just right, and the paint looks soo good too. The fact that this is also a computer just blows my mind.
Thankyou for making such amazing projects. I feel inspired by this to go and try to make something myself. I know it would never be as good as this, but hey, it's only partially about the end result and part about the experience and enjoyment you get during the project too right?
And now you have to build a "portal"-type case for the display and you got yourself a fantasy setup! Great job!
Absolutely! I'd totally love to see it.
