Katie learning how to install the cpu, M.2 and DDR5 RAM.

It's great working with my daughter on this project, she has never built a pc let alone learn to watercool it. 

We will be installing the motherboard and other components and do a system test once we back from holidays.

Great to site back and watch my daughter progress as she is keen to learn and asks all the right  questions.

 

Stay tuned for more updates next week Katie will be doing a full system test and learn how to flatten and prep the case for painting.

Yes, the final parts are here! Let's get this build started, man! 

We  been measuring up the case for modding parts and test fitting some of the products Katie has choosen for the case design. 

Cleaned out the modding shed so we can get cracking  this weekend due to constant rain. 

She willl  be preparing the case this week with 1500 and 2000 wet and dry with loads of elbow grease ready to add first coat of primer. 

Katie has finally chosen a colour to paint the case so I will be popping to the auto shop to get it mixed to match her theme.

 We got some new products today. Now, both the mentor and the student will be learning something new no more spray cans. 

We will be disassembling the case tomorrow evening ready to wet and dry the panels in preparation for the primer to be applied over the weekend.

Katie has been hard at all day, using 600 wet and dry. Preparation is the key to a good finish. 

She has two  panels left to prepare tomorrow, ready to prime on Sunday.

I picked up a new airline and quick release  connectors for the compressor ready to set it up tomorrow.

Katie has been wet sanding the case panels with 1000 and 1500 grit this week.

Stay tuned Katie has chosen a fantastic colour she had matched for her theme.

Video coming soon. 

We are still waiting on supplies that should have been delivered a week ago setting us back, but fingers crossed, it arrives next week so she can push on with her amazing design. 

Thanks to the sponsors, THERMALTAKE UK, INTEL UK, ASUS UK , ZOTAC UK, NVIDIA GEFORCE UK, and SAMSUNG UK,  for their support. 

regards 

Jason & Katie

Katie is an inspiration to teach,  for a 16 year old who has never used a rattle can and only ever been interested in horses. 

She has listened and mastered how to use 2K primer and paint with a compressor. 

The paint has been coloured matched as part of her theme and I cant wait to see her design come to life.
