can you fit a full size gaming PC inside a suitcase? sure you can!
This old Milwaukee toolbox is an excellent choice for a portable gaming pc.
it can fit a full size (full height) video card, a standard PSU and even a keyboard and mouse!
the tricky thing is to have good airflow and low temps. I put 2 case fans (120mm) - one for intake and another for exhaust, so there is good air circulation inside the case.
The PSU draws air from outside and throws it outside as well.
I used a low profile CPU cooler, which does an excellent job.
the video card needed extra support, so I cut out a support bracket from the old pc case. the height fits just inside the suitcase.
I also used the old front panel connectors, and large power/reset buttons :)
The paint is some kind of LOL camo pattern, but I like it.
I tested it with heavy gaming (it's an old pc) and the temps look good!
I hope you enjoy this build and maybe get some inspiration for building your own portable PC or a suitcase mod :)

If you tried to bring that thing on a plane TSA would think it's a bomb. 😂
I think I had this in the back of my mind when I built it. the big red button is just for that, lol :)
Lol
allahu akbar
@Alex Undiscovery lol
Until u plug it in or show the it's a computer
Well, lucky for him he moves really fast and it only took 9 minutes to make. Something like this would have taken me ALL DAY to build.
Lol :) :) I have to admit, it took a couple of weeks because of spare time and stuff, you know..
Thanks for watching!
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Pretty sure it’s called a time lapse
is it possible to learn this power?
I work offshore as a paramedic and have been able to fill a closet with various sized pelican cases for free. If you were able to do this with a really shitty old toolbox like that then I have to try it myself. I think I'll include a small mobile flat screen monitor. Amazing job with very minimal resources to work with. Color me impressed!
thank you so much! I did want to add a monitor at first (and most people watching this video comment on that), but honestly, any monitor would likely be small and uncomfortable to work with. I usually take it (at least used to before COVID) to places where there's already a large monitor in place, so it made more sense to me this way.
I wish I had access to pelican cases :). thanks again for watching and for being awesome as a paramedic!
So ? Did you do it?
dude, the idea is pretty cool!, the music is very well applied, soft, not distractive, but also takes the attention smoothly.
and i should say, the best part was in guitar slide... soooo good
thank you|! really appreciate it :)
Hella unique idea! Nowadays, SFF(small form factor) Power suppliers are gaining popularity- half the size of normal PSU, usually fully modular & almost always Gold 80+ - to regain space from cables ;)
thanks! I intentionally wanted to use full size parts, to show that you don't need SFF or special size to make a carry on PC:)
Omg
U done it
Many people out there are just using mini *ITX*
But you my man
Chose *_A_* *_FULL_* *_ATX_*
Man I'm speechless 👍👍
Totally the thing I wanted in my whole life
thank you so much! Yes, my goal was to use a full size atx. cheers and stay safe :)
Use this as your trial run. Then do a crowd-funded campaign where you build the case with more durable materials instead of the original plastic.
that's a cool idea! I don't know if I'll go this route but it's something to think about. thanks!
@@MrGreenMakesStuff if you can make say, a titanium mold like that, for example, with a metallic base for the mobo, and make list of up current parts that would fit in this case, I'm certain people will be throwing money at you. At the very least major companies may want to hire you to make these. You never know unless you get the exposure. Also, patent your idea. You don't want somebody copying you, and then be left hating yourself and unable to either prove it was your idea, or not be allowed to make these because of some bullshit court case.
I d buy something like this.
@@HarosOfStyx I am not sure there is much novelty here from a patent point of view but this vid is a perfect record for copyright. but no normal human can afford to protect it but as a design piece for an application as a case designer this is amazing. or as a prototype for a crowdfund as you mentioned.
Thanks guys. Honestly, it was a fun project, I never thought about taking it to mass production or something ;) maybe I should. If someone wants to make such a case I'm not going to stop them ;)
Great video. Building a computer in a case that is made for it is easy. Building a case for a computer that is not made for it and you have to modify everything, not easy at all. That takes a skill I wish I could have. So what! You used a plastic case and hot glued your HDMI cable in place. It looked clean, it worked and that's all that matters. So instead of people complaining about all the things you did wrong they need to realize everything you did correctly and if they think they can do better then they should go do one themselves and video the results (But never fear, they will not, it's easier just to nitpick) the users that have given you praise for this I say kudos to them and kudos to you for the awesome build and on the camo paint job. 👍👍👍👍👍
hey, thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it!
I don't mind the negative comments, some people just need to vent, and a few of these comments were somewhat constructive in their own twisted way :)
I did the best I could, and hot glue does help with taking shortcuts. not always pretty but gets the job done :)
I'm happy you liked it, thanks again for taking the time!
That is how the first laptop was invented))
You sir are gold. This a smart way to still value old hardware.775 cpu with 6 dimm slots. Still capable of awesome gaming.
thank you so much!! yes, it's more than 10 years old and still capable, but it does struggle with newer games so I upgraded it. thanks for watching!
In the future with a775 motherboard you can remove those heatsinks and take off the factory pink stuff. Then replace with thermal past. Add a mini fan to the heatsink near the cpu. That makes a dramatic difference in performace. Can you do an update video with benchmarks of the upgrade?
Re-do this with the fan side if the case containing water cooling for CPU and GPU. This would be epic! Excellent work man!
thank you! will try that in the future
This vid definitely deserves *_10MILLION_* VIEWS
UA-cam recommend this...man this is too cool for me
Thank you so much! :) :)
Man this is 100% one if the coolest ideas on UA-cam hate off to you sir
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
@@MrGreenMakesStuff I'm going to make a similar one but with a modular toolbox on wheels so I can put my drones and tools in it
Sounds so cool! Good luck with the build, it would be awesome
0:18 Woah, that trick with the CD aligning the drill! I will have to give that a try!
works every time :)
thanks!
Currently taking a swing at this rn. Mine has 2 more conditions. Built in fold out triple monitors, IE one solid one and one that hinges off of each side of that. Similar the the one DIY Perks Built. Also, just for fun I want to retain as much waterproofing as possible. In other words once it's closed up for storage.. it's sealed. Still early stages, but keeping everything (IO and such) on the inside is definitely challenging. I may just come up with an outer panel compartment that has it's own sealed door. Sorta like outdoor power outlets. I used a slightly bigger and beefier case. A hard gun case.
Nice idea , but it will be better if you add metal carass to it, when you touched the cover of the case it kinda 'bends' cuz its made out of plastic , and its a problem
that's right. the case is designed to be very rigid, but when I cut out all the internal plastics it became flexible and bendy. the wood tray helps a little, but still not as good as a metal case. I had to make do with what I had at hand.. thanks for watching!
Yeah, it's fine. Not perfect but good enough ;)
Your skills are amazing! I have been searching for a way to make a slim PC, for months... Finally I got! Tnks Bro!!!!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it, good luck with your build :)
Don’t typically click the “like button” but I did this time. That was pretty dope! 👌🏻👍 A+ from me! May have to try it my self!
Thanks! So happy to hear that :)
Me 2 but stuff a minister in there
That drill trick is nuts.
thanks, I learned it from someone online - so simple, it always works :)
This is So cool! I can see where this concept could be adapted to other tool/storage boxes of all different sizes! Awesome idea!
thank you so much! I totally agree :)
This video is underrated
thanks!! that's an awesome thing to hear :)
Thats the best pc cover ever but i recommend to use Iron man theme. It would be cool af
thanks!! yeah, I like it. I hope to make some iron-man themed build soon ;)
Well you can RESTART the world with that button! Nice work!
Lol thanks!! Some days I really think this world needs some restarting:)
Try to fit a monitor into the case also
I thought of that in the beginning, but then I got a little lazy and also figured it wouldn't be worth the trouble..
Make it happen man
@@MrGreenMakesStuff Stop whining and do it man.
Yea a supper slim monitor will do 😊
A monitor from a laptop will work nicely
Best thing I've ever seen. And mind you, i never comment on a video. This caught my attention. This is amazing! I'd give up my rig for this any day!
thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
Pretty awesome build dude.
Ofc that there are various improvements that can be done, but for a v1 it's pretty solid. 👍
thank you! yeah, for a v1 it came out ok. lots of things can be improved on, that's for sure
had a fun time see how creative you are with solving the various problems while building the beast. Good work!
Thank you so much, your comment really made my day!!
This is a fab job a tie up with pelican would make a great kick starter. I would only have one suggestion for what i would consider an improvement that is a horizontal gpu mount using a ribbon cable this will take the weight/acceleration off the motherboard during shipping.
Thank you! I did consider a horizontal gpu riser, but for space/cooling reasons. In the end I didn't need it, also, it would require more support brackets that I was too lazy to make :) The support bracket I used takes most of the weight off the mb, so it's fine this way. Still, I want to experiment with a gpu ribbon in the future! Thanks for watching :)
I like your helping hand @ 7:25 , great idea, I use a Woody action figure that I swapped out his hands with alligator clips but being an articulating action figure I need to mount him to something lol
Looks awesome. If I were to recreate this I would probably use a pcie riser cable for the gpu and have all of the outputs on the back of the case instead of using an hdmi extension cable. Also fitting a screen in there would be awesome but then you have to deal with stuff like power delivery. Overall a really cool build.
Thank you so much for the compliments! At first I thought of a pcie riser but it would make mounting the gpu more challenging. In the end it just fit inside the case and the extra bracket is really solid. I didn't want all the outputs in the back because I wanted the case to be able to stand up. And I didn't need all the outputs, maybe a couple more USBs... The monitor was low priority so I ditched it because I was lazy, and also because I was going to hook the case to existing monitors. Power delivery isn't a big deal because most monitors use 12v and less than 1000ma if I'm not mistaking, so I could draw power from the PSU. Thanks again for watching!

pretty dope idea indeed man. def a cool concept and even something people can do and make it better...some of these comments kill me, who cares what mobo or gpu he is using, is it for gamin, etc. its about the concept he is providing. not the use of the PC parts he is using. Good Stuff
thanks! you're right, it's the idea that matters. I got the inspiration and wanted to share, that's all. it is pretty basic in terms of materials and tools.
I don't mind the comments, some guys want it to look good on the inside as well :) I could just change the video date to 2007 and it would be modern AF ;)
thanks again, really appreciate it!
its very good dude
thanks mate!
Dis is so satisfying to watch everytime u attach everything into it, amazing man
Thank you so much!
Nice but if you install a screen in there as well it’d be DOPE!
Several people commented about that, so I might do it someday. thanks!!
I love those big buttons and that Firewire port ;)
would be cool if it had a window, also a small projector would work as a monitor
hey, a projector is a cool idea. didn't think about that, thanks!!
There are so many wrong things with this design (basically PSU cooling and generally system cooling (you should have plenty of intake and exhaust on a small volume case)) but hey! Who am I to judge? You got my like sir, for creating something at least cool :P
Thanks!! Actually, the case is quite cool. PSU intake and exhaust are both outside the case, and the 2 additional fans are intake+exhaust, so there is airflow and temps are really ok, even when gaming. Cheers! :)
Got to be honest I think that is awesome but I would have added a screen inside the lid from an old laptop , however nice work and great video
Thank you! Many people commented about that and I really did plan it at first, but it made things a little complicated and I wouldn't use that screen anyway because I'll connect it to an external monitor. Thanks again for watching and I appreciate the comment!
It was worth bringing cable management to mind.
I know, I didn't have a modular PSU at the time. did my best with what I had.. thanks for taking the time to comment!
Pretty slick!!! Been trying to figure out a custom case, and you gave me an idea.
Thanks! I'm really happy it helped you, good luck :)
This is truly handmade, not garage made
Badass, nice work, I might take an old amd desktop and do similar for fun.
thank you! it was a lot of fun (and challenge), so yeah, go ahead and do it ;)
I think thats more quality than other cases
thank you!!
The usb ports and around the USB Ports are very clean processed
thanks! I like the masking tape method. it makes it easier to cut things cleanly
Awesome.
Also you've read the comments, make v2 of the case metal with monitor. Please......
thanks, I try to read all the comments :). I don't know about v2, it might take a while and I'll need to get parts too
@@MrGreenMakesStuff i second this idea too.. if it possible go with old laptop widescreen monitor..
Take your time. I'll be right here.
Thank you for the great build and for the time you took filming it, I am sure filming took the same amount of time to build the PC. amazing build.
Thank you so much!
Please in the next video install a laptop monitor inside the case
ok, I'll keep that in mind :)
@@MrGreenMakesStuff lol mate you are the 1st youtuber who replied to me.😇❤
@@Toophunn I try to reply to everyone. you watched my vid and wrote something interesting, that means a lot to me :)
This is fantastic. The only thing is that with a motherboard that old, it can’t really be called a “gaming” pc. The GPU also contradicts the idea of a gaming pc. But as I said, this is fantastic. :)
thanks for the kind words :)
you're right, the parts shown in the video are old, and I already upgraded them to more current specs. The point of the video isn't about the specs but about showing you could build a standard size gaming pc in that case.
even if I used the latest GPU and other parts, 3 years from now someone could say it's "an old setup" :)
thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
3:35 *Sandpaper Intensifies*
Lol yeah, haha:)
Very good idea!
Only the monitor was missing
i thought of an idea like this,
so i searched apparently there is
NICE
Excellent! Thanks!
That is really awesome . Great job
thank you! really appreciate it!
If you consider making more gaming case I'm sure I will be able to buy one. Greets from Ecuador.
thank you!! that's very kind of you :)
I hope to make more soon, but I'm not sure about selling them, I'm not very good at selling..
@@MrGreenMakesStuff xd
@@MrGreenMakesStuff Hello Mr. Green, you're good at building, and I'm good at selling. Let's talk and do something amazing.
I know this comment is a year late but I have only just found this video!
This is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
The good question though is *Can you bring it on a plane for events like PAX, PDXLAN, CES, Computex* ?
lol, I don't think I'll make it to the airport.. :) :)
@The-Lonely-Janitor 659 just hope that it won't lead to cavity search
It's just a computer so yes. I'm sure you would get searched quickly and sent on your way.
ill just bring with me a good enough gaming laptop.... yes the performance will be a bit ousy, but a lot less stress!
I took an entire computer, hf radio setup on planes many times, no issue
For the cooling CPU solution, a small cheap AIO shouldn't be too bad, if there is enough space that is, but reinforcing the case with better materials is also recommended, although this is already amazing🔥🔥
didn't think of using an AIO for the cpu, that's a great idea! and would allow for more flexibility in placement of different parts.
material are what I had at hand and I agree they could be better. thank you so much!
Yeah.
You know what's NOT an excellent choice for a portable gaming PC?
A flimsy PVC plastic box with electronics on wood and mouse and keyboard shoved inside your system rattling against your RAM, heatsink and dangerously unstable videocard.
well, the video card is very stable - I made a metal bracket specifically for that. You're right, it's not an excellent choice, but it works well enough and there's always room for improvement ;)
Solid concept dude. I have tons of idea improvements, but I think your build looked awesome!
thank you! I'm really glad you liked it :) ideas are always welcome!
@@MrGreenMakesStuff a few were to mount the gpu in a more solid location, which could also reduce space. Use rubber spacers for the Mobo mounting board as well to prevent damage. If you're lucky, you may end up saving enough space to mount a divider with hinges in the middle so the storage side can be accessed without exposing the internals.
Honestly, ever since I saw the backpack vr pc that MSI designed I wanted to make one as well. Just with tweaks to suite a gaming PC.
Thanks for the love!
@@brandonejem8620 these are solid ideas! I agree 100% on the mobo spacers and compartments for equipment. I admit that I was lazy and just wanted to get it going ;)
thanks for caring!
This idea is very good. Design and manufacturing processes need improvement.
yep, I agree.. thanks!
I mean he made that shit in his garage so it was pretty damn good considering it started as a tool box.
I think thats the charm that he build it with stuff at hand. So its affordable for everyone=)
That's a really cool invention a portable computer that's made to be carried like a suitcase😊👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
thank you very much :)
Original Idea!!!
i cant find a toolbox like this also those buttons cant be found... but nice job bro you nailed it
its a Milwaukee angle grinder case. You can find the exact model and other parts (including the push buttona) on the instructables page: www.instructables.com/Portable-Gaming-PC-in-a-Suitcase/
thanks for watching! really appreciate it :)
You were doing excellent right up until you used hot glue to attach the HDMI cable. -10 points. 90/100
yeah I know. it was the fastest and easiest way to attach it. to be honest - it works :)
That was cool, now I want to make one. Just I'm gonna use a bigger case like a smaller Guitar amp case so that I can place all the desktop internals in the lower half and mount a monitor via its VESA mount in the top half along with a surge protector power strip so you only need one cord for power. Then trim it out with particle board to make it look neat when open. probably use plastic tubing to hide the wires at the hinges.
thanks. that sounds like a pretty awesome plan! would look cool too :)
I'd recommend trying to out ryzen 5 or ryzen 3 2200g
Ingenuity scares me, humans are fking intelligent
An i/o shield would be nice...
Why? The I/O aren't visible from the outside.
Great work, I wish I was so creative and skilled with tools like you.
Thank you so much! You should try and see for yourself, I'm not super skilled and it's just a matter of practice and having fun
Brilliant idea 👍
I have 2 questions tho
How are the thermals of this system and are they affected by long term use ?
And how intact are the components and how well can they handle rough usage ?
thanks!
regarding temps: I answered that in previous comments. in short: airflow is pretty good (the 2 fans are intake+exhaust, PSU fan blows air out), so temps are relatively OK (around 40c idle and 75c in heavy gaming). I had a 4 hour gaming session with it and it became noticeably hot but worked 100% and didn't throttle, the fans went very high and noisy (I'll have to replace them).
regarding the rough usage: I usually don't bang the case around, just like any other PC. it's more of show piece than a rugged case :) so I'm trying to be gentle when carrying and putting it down. it feels a little bit on the "flexible" side, but still sturdy enough for carrying around in my car and to friends' houses. I hope that answered your question ;)
Mr. Green Makes Stuff thanks and yes it cleared my queries. Keep up the good work 👍
@@MrGreenMakesStuff uhhhhh 75c??? you sure mate?? you making a frozen pizza in there too
@Remake, 75C is pretty cool for a GPU. It can take 90C under continuous load..
In the past 2 years I had the case at a friend who used it regularly for gaming without problems. It's not perfect and I'd definitely do things differently if I was to build it again, but it gets the job done.
Besides, what's wrong with a nice pizza on the side? ;)
Would have been cool to not paint it and go super low profile with smaller buttons making it a sleeper computer, that looks as close to the original Milwaukee case as possible, maybe with 2 small power and reset buttons and the ports on one side and the fans on the back. Awesome Job though, I am a huge computer geek that also works in the carpentry field so this is the best of both worlds lol
Thank you! I do some woodworking myself as well so no shortage in supplies :) I wanted to make it a little "over the top", that's the reason for the colors and extra large buttons. A kind of cartoon-like thing..
Very cool
thanks!!
Pretty cool build.
thank you :)
Bellissimo complimenti io avrei messo anche uno schermo
Nice original project!, good that it powers on but would have been better if you showed it passing POST at least
thanks! yeah, I should've filmed some more, even gameplay or temps. it works really well and got some upgrades since the time I made the video. well, maybe next time :)
Subbed and notifications on
thank you so much! really appreciate it :)
@@MrGreenMakesStuff I'd recommend changing direction of motherboard so u have full access of back of motherboard
well, I tried different orientations and this one worked the best. most back connectors are useless and I can always hook up extension cables
@@MrGreenMakesStuff wrong I have 6 usb on back my mobo and there filled and 3 usb on front of my case and 1 those used so 7 usbs
@@MrGreenMakesStuff cmonn
Tbh it looks amazing, now all you need is a riser cable for the GPU and to lay it flat and then to install a monitor screen in the top part of the case
From what desktop did you get the motherboard?
it was an old gaming pc I had laying around. since then I already replaced the motherboard and CPU
Time for a LAN party. Nice job.
Thank you, appreciate it!
wtf is that motherboard, it looks sooooooooo old
yeah in the vid it's an old q6600, but I already upgraded it since then. it doesn't matter, the whole point of the project was to try building the case, the specs aren't that important
@@g9170 yep, and even if it was new, in 6 months it would be old news..
@@MrGreenMakesStuff xd actually yes
@@MrGreenMakesStuff frequently u used a new case to upgrade cause the building in this video is depending on the old motherboard...which means a waste of time and cases :v ...but u did a great job in general
It looks older than my mobo and my mobo will be a decade old in 9 months
the button design was great！
Thank you!
I'd buy a case like this from you if you made more
Wow thanks man! That's the coolest thing anyone has told me in a long time :)
It was kind of a one time thing, but I might consider the option sometime again. Take care!
I will be hitting the notification bell on ur channel just in case, this is a phenomenal & creative idea I think you should definitely utilize, look forward to your new content!
Thanks! comments like yours make me wanna do and post more stuff. Not much time, but I'll do my best :)
I would buy one too!
@@MrGreenMakesStuff i want one too as my home is small and dont got place for a full size rig

Thanks! :)
Also get a thicker case so you can have monitor attached to the lid do you can just open it and play
sell it to me
I would if I could :) but it was for fun and I'm still using it. but thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it
@@MrGreenMakesStuff nope bro I am sorry I see after 1 month I really like your videos like this and you dont upload much video I wish one day you will be upload more video and take 1 million sub's and I wish you will sell stuff's like thesee and many people need like thesee stuff's I know there is so much mini PC's Stuff's like that but they are not gaming and there are so much laptop but laptop are so high budget to get 1070 laptop and you can buy 2080 pc with 1070 laptop budget
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm trying to work on a new gaming build and video, but I don't have too much spare time so it takes a while.. I wish I could make more videos like other youtubers but my life is just too busy. Maybe someday I'll sell these and have 1 million subs.. :) all thanks to people like you! You really made my day, thanks!!!
That's a cool idea!! Can't wait to see what you come up with next
thanks, I have a very small easy project coming up
If I pay u, can you build me one??

@@MrGreenMakesStuff it's fine. what kind of graphics card did you put in it?
In the video it's a radeon 7850, but I swapped it later for a gtx970
10/10 on creativity
Thank you so much!
One thing,you did not put any way to connect the monitor to the gpu,which renders the gpu useless and graphics are just the ones integrated into the cpu.
not accurate - the monitor is connected directly to the gpu. you can see at 8:00 that I connected the HDMI cable from the monitor into the HDMI output of the gpu. it is, after all, a gaming rig..
@@MrGreenMakesStuff Sorry,skipped that part.
no problem! all is well :)
thanks for watching!!
Yeah there was a hdmi extension
Could’ve put a monitor display in the top of the case! Would’ve been crazy, but man this was epic!! Love it bro!
thanks man! really appreciate it.
yes I wanted to have an integrated monitor in there, but it would've complicated things a bit and tbh I don't really need a monitor because I always connect it to an external one.
thanks again for watching! cheers mate :)
Mr. Green Makes Stuff of course man! And I assumed a monitor would make it a bit tight, I’ve been drawing up concepts because I plan on making something like this for a friend. Your video saved my rear lol! Keep up the good work though brotha!
cool! I hope your build turns out even better than mine. some things I would've done differently, so take a good look at my mistakes lol :)
Mr. Green Makes Stuff that is if I could find any :)
lack of exhaust, heat recycled in that carse
Hi, there's plenty of exhaust and no heat recycling. I'll explain:
The case fan right above the cpu is intake, the other one is exhaust. When the case is standing up, airflow is kinda from bottom(intake) to top (exhaust), which is a good thing. Also, the PSU fan blows the air outside the case so it doesn't contribute to heat. All in all, in heavy gaming the gpu is around 75c and cpu around 60c. hope it explains why heat/airflow is not an issue. cheers and thanks for watching!
@@MrGreenMakesStuff in your video 8:20 the orientation of both fans are intake...
it may look so, but they are different types of fans. the intake (clear plastic) used to be a front case fan, and the other one (white) is a rear case fan. they blow air in different directions, believe me, I checked twice because I wasn't sure about that as well :)
All he would have to do is wire in reverse anyway, for some fans, that is. Some fans have jumpers that do this for you. Reverse the polarity, it spins the other way, unless it has a protection switch.
I am pretty certain he can tell which way it is blowing. In any case there are numerous air holes, and if thermals got bad...just crack it open a bit.
@@dirkraj3687 If you look closer you can see the fan at the top right is an exhaust, can tell right away by the curve on the blades
With a PCIe Riser cable for the GFX card you can mount that differently and more solidly, if at some point you need to.
Also, just mount some velcro straps in their to hold the mouse and keyboard. Or maybe make a foam insert or something, velcro is easier.
But, very nice job indeed.
thank you! these are very good points. I was planning to use a PCI riser at first, but then I saw that the gfx card is solid enough and the temps are good, so I kept it that way
@@MrGreenMakesStuff Is it sturdy enough for really moving it ?
I am afraid with a big jolt it might break something, because it is also heavy. You don't want the bracket giving way.
Was never too afraid of the temps though, quite space,few exhaust fans.
@@gabiballetje it's very sturdy, I'd say that at least as sturdy as in a normal case or slightly more. the small triangle in the bottom of the bracket really adds to strength. I don't carry the case too much and I'm being extra careful not to bang it around. if I did, I think I'd be more concerned about rigidity, as you mentioned
That evening, I subscribed & add that clip to my like videos and DIY playlists with the expectation to have accomplished a replica in 90 days....
this is awesome!! I hope you make it in 60 ;). thank you so much!

Makes me want to swap over my current hardware from my Spec 03 to this... and just for the heck of it I would mount a screen on the side and buy a psu that I take with me as well for ultimate playing outside like my dad always told me to do.
that's a great idea. your dad would be proud ;)
Looks great!
Next add a monitor to the lid

Very nice vid this one! You've gave me a few ideas I intent to put on use right away... Nice trick the one to get a straight drill, I'll try it out next time and quit making phony contraptions when column drill is out of the question... Thanks for sharing
