As a former mechanical CAD Drafter & Engineer, you've done a fantastic job on the custom 3D printed parts and the metal plate. Very elegant end product.

@@Boss-rm7wr there is ways around it, not going to say what you can do cause i like to support odd tinkering cause of the fantastic work he does but there is ways
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while I’ve always seen people put computers in random but cool cases and seeing this being back the great memories of when the GameCube took over the world
We respect Backblaze for letting him do a robot voice. Definitely makes me more inclined to try it out. I remember that he did an ad read himself a good while back. Felt like the sponsor didn't understand the channel.
@@Renville80 He doesn't talk during his videos. It was an ad read where they let him use an AI voice instead of his own. You didn't miss anything aside from a nice sponsor that understood the channel better than the last one from like 2020 or so.
Gamecube, meet Gamingcube. Seriously, this is so cool. I can't even imagine how much behind-the scenes planning/designing/prototyping must have gone into a project like this. Would definitely love to see more modding content in the future!
ASTONISHING BUILD!!! This is great! Also love that you sanded the 3D printed parts for the shell. So many folks settle for the “3D printed” look. Just awesome!
Very cool! I love the design and the custom 3D printed parts! That’s a huge soldering iron for that size work. Might want to consider getting a T115 or one of the little USB powered soldering pen that uses the T115 tips for this kind of work. And maybe some 24awg wire for those USB2 ports, unless you plan to have a USB vacuum cleaner. 😉
This is an S+ job, everything looks professionally made and nothing really sticks out of place. I admire the plenty DiY projects out there but they usually look poorly put together despite the incredible work on the project, so it's great to see everything nicely packed up. Would love to see more of these Sleeper PC projects, the quality of the build is astounding.
It’s so admirable the amount of work and effort behind this, countless hours measuring and modeling to fit on an existing thing it’s not easy, but it fitted perfectly and the result it’s outstanding
I'd like to do this to my own mini-PC. So many things I could do with it, thanks to you. You're my inspiration in turning trash into treasure. What I have noticed is that the way you get amazing results is being "Detail Geek" clean.
@@ericmoeller3634 Yeah well there’s a lot of games that don’t need a 3060 or a 4090 GPU dude. 😂 Just saying. You can absolutely game on that thing. And do a lot of other stuff too. Probably best sleeper build I’ve seen. “your gaming pc” and “somebody else’s gaming pc” could mean two very very different things. 🤔 Orange GameCube PC with working power button and ports? Killin it.
@@RaeDawna minimalism has taken over logos, look at old pringles, firefox, instagram, warner bros etc... all of them used to be way more detailed, but the color and form association makes them still recognizable a mile away, even though they don't have much detail. big companies understood it and said "fuck it". (which is sad)
@@RaeDawnathere is a recent video on it. Can’t remember whose channel. But yes, it is everything. Company logos, fast food places, drinks, color. They’re all becoming minimalistic. Was an interesting vid to see just how much. You’d have to search minimalistic theory or something along those lines.
i loved how you did not have to destroy the shell from the inside to make that project. in the upper lid you can add a 90mm fan or something to help it with cooling but I don't think it will heat up that much anyway. keep it up ❤
Reminds me of the days of people stuffing Mini-ITX boards into just about anything they could lay their hands on about 20-odd years ago, converting many things into PCs that could run emulators and such inside of shells of all kinds of things like retro computers, ammo tins, old tube radios and even one was a model of Leela from Futurama (goodness knows why!)... :P
This is a well built build, love the effort to keep the original formal factor. Did you consider making a custom PCB for the controller ports that had the usb converter built in?
Building a small PC that fits into a Gamecube shell and then running Dolphin on it has to be the most round about way to play Gamecube games ever devised lol. Build looks fantastic though!
I enjoy watching you refurbish, recycle, and repurpose devices and materials other would just throw out. As always, awesome work and keep on tinkering 👊🔌
That was a tremendous effort and accomplishment. I don't envy you having to solder on to those small points on the circuit boards. You're planning is amazing - the custom 3D printed parts worked out really well! 👍
I'd love to see you build a GameCube Nano! Trim down a Wii motherboard to the smallest functional size and make it work. Would also be very helpful to have a detailed video of it being built, rewiring the power needed and stuff. Build it into a GBA shell or something if you want to make it portable!
It turned out so clean! I've thought about doing this a few times before but could never think of a way to preserve the memory card doors and power button. You did both masterfully, and more than that, actually did it instead of just thinking about it ;p bravo!
This is interesting! I was expecting videos like that on your second channel, but it's a bit of a fresh air to see you working on stuff like that on your main channel as well! Edit: This is amazing! Always facinated about the things you can do with just a bit of tinkering with the cables and such! Also obviously 3D-Print went a long way too!
But dude! This is awesome! Wish I had thought of something like this! Also, it made me chuckle to see “gentle violence”. Haven’t heard that phrase in many moons! Thank you!
@oddtinkering. I recently starrted using a card scraper (for woodworking) instead of sanding on 3d prints. it`s SOOOOO much faster. and then you can use a little sanding at the end. it`s life changing. and makes less of a mess. worth looking into...

Man that ad was so jarring that it made me realise that in years of watching restoration channels not a single one of them had ever had ads before
He's done a couple of Ads before. One where it was his voice talking, another with no voice and him thanking the sponsor for not making him speak 😆
@@RestoreTechnique Is it his voice, or is it just an ai text to speech? It kinda has that sound to it that makes me think it's not him.

Kinda wish he just put the pictures of them on the community instead of slipping them in videos.
I was wondering if you could put a mini pc inside a child laptop like a vtech or barbie laptop haha
Its definitely possible. Someone made a whole gaming pc based off a barbie/hot wheels pc shell
@@adventureoflinkmk2 yeah but the insides of those are way bigger than say a child's educational Laptop yk
I remember seeing that video and from what I remember the ventilation system he put in the Hot Wheels one was PRETTY LOUD.@@adventureoflinkmk2
Search barbie laptop diy dr.k, video is in korean, but has eng subs.
god just seeing the name vtech takes me back

Underrated comment holy shit
I felt that. This was very professionally done.
"Gentle Violence" is now my new favorite phrase. Kiitos!
My new band name!
@@AndrewPonti Make sure you don't get sued by The Violent Gentlemen.
You have Made a Sleeper PC very Good Idea!👍🏻
Love that the GameCube shell was handled very non-destructively!
I love the branch out into new ideas and things while still keeping the kind of idea. keep up the good work.
Title: "Needs some gentle violence"
Reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire. "Are your kids well behaved, or do they need, like, a few light slams every now and then?"
"Gentle Violence" is exactly what an edgy 16 year-old would name their grunge band.
This is the first time you make a custom change to a console, love the concept and hope we can see more!

Great little thing, thx a lot for showing!

This video reminds of all the times I had the great idea of turning a Dreamcast shell into a lunchbox
Do more projects like this thanks for the video 😊
I love the Idea it's have some Nostalgia, you can make with Xbox 360 too PLS❤️
Next project: put a Game Cube into a mini PC.
Good about it: you have the spare parts already.
this is so cool. gamecube was the last of the cool designed systems

Holy cow. You are a mad genius when it comes to turning this console into mixing together with its original way (Gamecube & etc.) and small gaming PC.
no hes not that computer he used isnt gaming pc he was running dolphin emulator on it any mid range computer can run that

Careful who you copy. You don't want angry Mario to show up at your door.
Why did we stop selling colourfull consoles? Or see trough colours. Truly the primetime of electronics
I think companies think regular colors (black, white, etc) look more "modern" or something.
Kind of like how company logos have turned more plain and boring. Or how McDonald's have turned from bright colors to dull and darker colors.

Atomic purple baby!!! 🎉
That’s a really cool sleeper pc and I swear you got spawn camped at the end
This is an amazing sleeper build!
You should put LEDs under the disc drive lid to light everything up when you pop it open!
Odd Tinkering, what in the name of all that is holy did you do?!
(love your videos, you're crazy in a good way)
Hats off man. The thought and planning that went into this, and the care is obvious to see. Amazing project
i love the sounds or crunchy soldering. i have never heard soldering make any noise like this but i think its just the flux boiling
perfect build idea your building skills are repairing are great to watch unlike them fake restraion videos this is real perfection
12:51 That looks real nice
I'm just about to start the same project. Our mini PCs are a bit different so it won't be exactly the same but I'm even more excited for it now.
Reminds me of the days of people stuffing Mini-ITX boards into just about anything they could lay their hands on about 20-odd years ago, converting many things into PCs that could run emulators and such inside of shells of all kinds of things like retro computers, ammo tins, old tube radios and even one was a model of Leela from Futurama (goodness knows why!)... :P

Build looks fantastic though!
I love your videos! I learn a lot of techniques and such from them. I really appreciate the effort you put into them 😊.
Good job! Try with Retrobat, for better experience.
Nice! I just think the silver shell would look cooler.
Reminds me of the Wii Mac Mini someone did! Very cool
Dang, that's a nice build. What a cool idea! Really fun to see such a different kind of video on the channel!
I kinda really want to see you make a cyberdeck.
Love the idea, so cool!

When you said "just an empty shell", I felt that
Awesome quality as usual. Question: looking back, how would you have avoided soldering so many cables?
This scratches an itch I've had for years 😂 as a Nintendo lover this is EXCELLENT
I swear you make everything so easy, actually want to start repairing stuff myself, good content🔥👍
A great work, and very nostalgic too
This is cool I've been thinking of making a switch inside of a gamecube shell and having the ports work for it
To say I'm envious would be an understatement.
Actually looks pretty easy. Nothing as complicated as eg. grabbing a DeskMeet or DeskMini X600 and trying to stuff it all in :)
It was quite a fun project to watch. Thank you for sharing this video with us
Great change of pace! Building instead of fixing. Love your stuff, man!
Impressive and very creative - nice work!👍
I saw this in my feed and was like 😲I love Odd Tinkering!!!
Good job👍. Batocera Linux distro is recommended for emulating games such this
This video is not what I would have expected from this channel. A pleasant surprise and I did enjoy the video.
I hope the GameCube gets put into a custom shell. Should do a video on that. Custom shells are cheap and plentiful.
You are a master magician, sir. 👍

Bonus points for Litz braiding the cable.
Amazing work, as usual. Can't wait for the next video.
That was a nice idea and mini sure hard to get out from shell
Ive always wanted to do exactly that. Youre livin my dream friend.
Just add a RGB led fan in the top of Shell, AND you have am awesome retro mini PC
missed opportunity to add a dvd drive !
“Gentle Violence” sounds like the name of a Japanese metal band
