本文的形式為視頻作者(Daniel Cannon,以下簡稱D)的旁白+譯文，在P2的結尾結尾我會給出我對整個裝機的點評。

D: Welcome everyone to build 33, part 1. I am very excited to do another SMA8 build, this is now the third one. Something that you』ll notice when we do a number of builds into the same case is an evolution across our design.

譯文：大家好，這裡是第33套整機裝機的第一部分。我現在非常興奮的在做又一個SMA8的裝機，現在這是我們頻道里的第三個了。你可能會注意到當我們一遍又一遍的在同一個機箱里裝機的時候，整機的設計會不斷地進化。

So we come up with an original concept, it might be mods, loop design. Specifically loop design is where we really like to focus. Our passion at Singularity Computers is obviously liquid cooling, the cooling system.

因此我們事先設想了一套最初的方案，它可能是改裝，水道設計。不得不說水道設計絕對是我們的關注點。我們Singularity Computers（在一台電腦里）熱衷的部分無非就是液冷，是它的冷卻系統。

So, something that I』ve really been wanting to do in the Caselabs sma8 is a full symmetrical parallel dual loop design with the colors completely separated and divided, but in the last couple of SMA8 builds due to the choices of the customers we were unable to complete this design the way that I wanted to, and I mean it really as you see it comes down to customer requests but we can build on and improve our ideas sometimes across our builds and this is something that』s really important to us because we always like to improve and you guys get to see something different.

一直以來我都想在Caselabs的SMA8里做的一件事就是全對稱+平行式雙水路，所有的顏色全都各自分離，互不干涉。但在最近的幾個SMA8的裝機里由於顧客的選擇我們不能完成我的這個想法，我的意思指這都是因為他們的要求，但我們多數時候能持續的在不同的裝機里改進和完善我們的想法，而整個是非常重要的，因為我們一直都想提高自身的姿勢水平，並且你們觀眾也想看到一些不同的花樣。

But really when it comes down to it there is only so much you can do, you know, normal kind of box, or case, and that』s why we are taking things further in other directions which I』m really looking forward to showing you guys with Spectre, our own new case.

但說真的，就關於水冷來說你能做的事也就那麼多，最多也就在機箱上動動手腳。這就是為什麼我們也在把有些東西往某些方向上做的更遠，更深入。我非常高興能和你們分享我們的新機箱，Spectre。

I cannot wait to build in to that thing and I mean I haven』t even been able to get my own Spectre yet because they』ve just been on such a high demand but, anyway, in this case, due to the configuration that the customer chose which I had nothing to do with it, just by coincidence that the customer chose the inverted motherboard tray and the extended top which both go together as you will see, to create this exact loop configuration that we』ve been going for, for so long. We』ve been trying to complete, you know, the deisign that we wanted to

我說實話真的就想馬上就去那個機箱里裝機，但我現在連給我都弄不到一台Spectre來給自己用因為想買它的人太多了…（好硬的廣告）

由於客戶在確定這款機箱（SMA8）的時候已經完全把所有選項都挑好了，而這和我一點關係都沒有，碰巧的是他同時選擇了倒置主板以及加高的頂部，這給予了我們一個千載難逢的好機會去做出我一直想要的那種水路設計（平行雙水路）。為了去實現這種設計，我們已經等待了很久了。

So you can see what we』re going for here and it』s going to require quite a lot of mods to the case.

因此你能看到的就是，為了達到我們想要的設計，必須得對這個機箱實施大量的改造。

下面是魔改部分：

So the case mods so far and it is probably going to be all of it, is a modified mid plate I』ve cut out the original mid plate and replaced it just to clean it up, and just for the through panel holes, the cable routing because we want parallel cables. The 24pin will come out horizontally but the eps and the pcie need to be vertical it is part of the whole loop design and the design of this build it would be very important later on as you will see.

機箱改造部分到目前為止應該說差不多是接近完工了。我們在做的是一個改造過的中層蓋板。我切開並更換了了機箱原先自帶的側板，為的就是讓整機看起來更簡潔，並且做了一些機箱穿透的開口，是為走線工作來做準備。主板24pin線會水平穿過這個蓋板而EPS供電以及PCIe供電會垂直的穿過來，這種做法很重要因為他構成了整個水路設計的一部分並且也是整機風格的一部分，你們等會兒就能看到我為什麼這樣做了。

We』ve also done a custom reservoir mounting plate which is something that we often do in caselabs cases except for this time I』ve cut out the entire section behind it and that』s just because there』s no need to have two panels in a row there, it just makes things a lot cleaner and easier

我們同時也做了一個定製水箱安裝板，在caselabs家的機箱里我們經常這麼做，但我們這次把整個水箱安裝的那部分的機箱原先自帶的側板也切掉了，因為沒必為了這兩個水箱去弄兩層板子。同時，這塊定製側板也能讓整體的水路更加簡潔、規整。

I』ve also done a lot of other through panel holes going up into the top compartment as you can now see, part of the loop is going to be up there, the GPU loop. And this is the only way that we can achieve the parallel and it may look complex, but if you actually overall measure the tube length it is about roughly what is normally is, maybe a little bit on the longest side for the GPU loop, but I think it』s worth it to achieve this configuration.

我在這個機箱里也做了很多其他的機箱穿透，你們能看到有兩根管子穿過主板倉的頂部通向它上面的那一層（頂部480冷排所在的那部分），那些管子組成了GPU水路的一部分。這可以說是唯一的一種方法去實現那種平行水路的設計，可能看起來很複雜，但如果你能精確測量所需要的水管的長度的話，其實也和正常在機箱里做的那些彎管的難度差不多。這兩根管子可能讓整個水路的長度變長了（一般他都會讓整個水路越短越好），但我覺得為了這個外觀來說，還是值得的。
