  • In this video I demo my latest highly portable travel gaming rig that will fit into a normal sized backpack. I am using an old shuttle backpack but I'm currently working on making a compartmentalised padded carry case.
    The configuration (with links to Amazon) is as follows: -
    Dan A4 V4 - available at Overclockers Case King
    ROG STRIX portable monitor - geni.us/WYdA
    Basilisk Wireless Mouse - geni.us/4SV3
    Keychron K2 keyboard - geni.us/Mjc9Mbk
    Nari Wireless Headset - geni.us/5ntakS

    This is exactly the concept I had in my head. Ive had laptops but they become so crappy after a couple years of use and when something break(which it will) you are absolutely screwed. On top of that since I have a smart phone I only move my laptop occasionally.

    This is such a great guide, not gonna lie you just pointed out good stuff about the gpu, it has these USB type c which I really think I need. Laptops are crappie jig. So I guess I gotta build a mini itx PC with a mounted monitor on it and do some diy with it to make it look like a beast box of a machine.

    This setup is exactly what I have wanted to do for a while now. I was thinking of using an aluminum hard case with foam inserts instead of a backpack for extra protection since it's both smaller and safer. Great Vid!
    Edit: For the PC itself you could run a RX 6800 which has a USB C port on it. It would give you the port and the power of a 30 series card that you wanted. Only issue is finding it...

    • @MashITTech

      Yeah, I am still trying to find the perfect bag. The one I have doesn't have enough padding for my liking. my 2080 still has a USBC port, it is such a shame they removed them from the 3000 series :(

    • @MashITTech
      @MashITTech  3 роки тому

      Probably a bit but at 4.5ghz across cores I am getting pretty good frames still! I wanted to get a 5600x but they are just so impossible to get at the moment. I will probably upgrade in the future when things sort themselves out

    I want to do a build just like this, I've been an SFF fan since I got into building PCs, but I've never had anything smaller than like the Node 202 or my current Meshlicious. I have a beefy system sure, but I think for what I mostly do I could compromise with less power and a very appealing smaller set up.

    • @MashITTech
      @MashITTech  2 роки тому

      The Dan is an amazing machine and I really love it but you need to make some compromises. You need a 2 slot gfx card but I have managed a 2080 super with no thermal issues. Also the cpu cooling is difficult due to the height so you will need either a 5600x or 11400 or similar cool running processor to use an air cooler or you can water cool it but man the cabling is hard 😂

    • @yoimer06
      @yoimer06 2 роки тому

      @@MashITTech Yeah that sucks a lot, but Zotac makes a 3070ti that is 2 slots and not very long either, so I was thinking going for that model if it's ever easily attainable. I did want to use the asetek aio to water cool it, thought it would be a fun challenge, but I also have a 650w psu with custom cabling that would make it easier since they're not threaded. That would be my ideal portable build.

    • @MashITTech
      @MashITTech  3 роки тому +1

      I also have a black ridge and although the performs is great I hated the turbulence it causes in this case (I am really sensitive to noise) gaming in warzone on the 8700k and 2080 with neither undervolted (meaning to do that but haven’t had the time) using a quiet profile I am getting cpu temps in the early 70s and gpu mid 60s. Really impressed with how it performs 👍

    • @happyrobot6396
      @happyrobot6396 3 роки тому

      @@MashITTech the black ridge only really shines when one uses a 120mm fan instead of the stock 92mm. the former requires the use of vlp ram, which is annoying, as im sure you know. I saw a decibel test on youtube with the 120mm setup and it was near silent in the Dan under full load.

    I'm thinking of building something similar to this, could I potentially do it with one of the newer GPUs and a displayport to usbC cable? I still want to have the monitor powered by the GPU as you have here, I have all the components save for the monitor.

    • @MashITTech
      @MashITTech  2 роки тому

      I haven't tried that but I am not sure it would work and you would also need a second USBC for power. It is such a shame they removed the USBC ports on this generation of cards :(

    • @MashITTech
      @MashITTech  3 роки тому

      If you don't move the system, the ghost is better. It is less cramped to build in, all the panels just slide off and you have better CPU clearance. If you travel the DAN wins hands down, it is lighter, easier to handle and feels well put together so won't get damaged in transit
