The Customer Isn't Always Right - Pyramid PC Pt. 1 - Summary

Summary

A computer builder is creating a custom, pyramid-shaped computer case for a client. The builder is working under a tight deadline, aiming to complete the project by Friday. The client has requested a unique design with a large, triangular shape, which presents several challenges. The builder uses steel tubing to create the frame and plans to add features such as a motherboard, power supply, and three to four GPUs. The builder also discusses the use of PCIE extenders to mount the GPUs and create a unique, eye-like design on the front of the case. The project requires careful planning, precision cutting, and welding to ensure a sturdy and functional final product.
