This is my new personal build that I built for showcasing Josh.ai. Josh is an advanced control automation platform with best in class voice control and user experience. You can learn a little more about it here: https://www.josh.ai/about/ .

Here is a few quick videos showing the side panel mod as well as the Josh integration: (videos aren't public, not fishing for likes)

I'm using Josh to integrate my PC experience in the the rest of my home. The PC has 12 integrated relays to control the following:

9 x physical button key pad buttons: used to run macros from the Josh UI and voice commands
1 x relay to control the smart glass to turn the side panel from a window back into a monitor
1 x relay to control PC power
1 x relay to control monitor power
1 x RGBW controller for all RGB loads
1 x 4 channel light controller for the high output LEDs

When some people thinking making a computer case out of wood would be bad.

That edge! Get yourself a metal nibbler for $15 and fix that edge, and then line it with a thin piece of tubing.

Most definitely. I had to put this thing together in 2 1/2 weeks for a build competition, definitely got points reduced for that.

Why does home automation need a 12700k?

haha its a little confusing. The home automation doesn't run on the PC, the home automation controls the PC with relays and macros.

I'm way down the home automation rabbit hole myself at the moment, that just raises so many questions.. Are you using relays to trigger keypad presses? Why not use MQTT and do everything in software? Or at least use optocouplers to avoid the relay clicks. Can Josh not do Wake on Lan?

Correct. This is a stop gap for proof of concept. The relays and keypad allow me to integrate today. I’m working on software now that will allow Josh to interface directly.

That makes sense. Still a cool installation though.
