I was wondering why he needs 4, aren't they just cooling the already cold water if places in series? Also how does the air flow work? Are they all 4 pushing out air from the system? Me thinks it might be working just as well with 3 coolers and a passive intake.

[@njoshua3265]

@@Pauluzzs 3 totally could work based off the temps he got, but there is empty space anyway due to the thickness of the chassis as desktop components are used in addition to the size of the main display and adding more cooling will only reduce the noise under load. One of the advantages to watercooling is how silent you can make a system with enough capacity, and to answer intakes I would be surprised if after all this work he didn't set up the fans in neutral pressure. Same size reasoning applies for such a sized sub-woofer in an all in one too. With the temperature probe most of these fans can be disabled at idle too if set up correctly for silent operation using passive cooling of the 4 rads, though I am not sure if corsairs old LINK software does this, PWM fans can be set to 0 RPM mode in iCUE.

I decided to upgraded it as rending software was going gpu and my mobo wouldn't take a large card. I meticulously back up everything onto a external hard drive. I had my pc built and it arrived I had two ssd cards, no spinning drives. I transferred all my data over and then I had to use my external hdd's to transfer stuff form my sons old pc as I was giving him the Envy. After two weeks, my ssd failed. I lost everything as a I had overwritten my old stuff with my son's stuff to transfer. I spoke with that bloke that built my pc and we spent ages checking things out and it was toast. I had to take this brand new pc to my local repair place and pay him to put in a new ssd and windows. I got a refund from the builder to cover my costs and so far this machine has been bulletproof. I lost everything though. Years of projects, photos I'd saved, etc etc etc. Word to the wise, if you make a backup, do it on something you wont have to overwrite.

Given that we already have laptops capable of 4k gaming w/ & w/o a chunky wire snake being connected, it'd be reinventing the wheel of essentially an AIO/Laptop computer. The ambition and ideals are there but the execution isn't the greatest, the DIY is fantastic but the end result isn't anything a consumer would decide to buy as better and more convenient alternatives exist at the moment. However, if refinement and fine-tuning were to go into the design and engineering then possibly something that could be a reasonably marketable product could come about, but since this is a DIY I don't see that ever happening. The idea might be considered but definitely nowhere near this design.

Be extremely cool to add a projector to it somehow so you essentially have a cinema on the go. You could entertain family over the holidays showing old videos and photos, project movies on the side of the house (i used to drop sheets from our gutters with 2 windows behind them for my speakers. The affect was really cool and you have never seen so many kids hypnotized at once... lol.). Finally it would be a neat way to present material at company meetings, etc... not to take anything away from your build though as its a fine setup as it sits.

So awesome to see you actually making this. I have dreamed of something like this for years. I am a desktop man and I hate laptops, but sometimes you just need the portability. I had imagined making something like this but never done it. The cooling solution I would go for would be air cooled, with those electric temperature difference pads to make the heat sync hotter, meaning it wouldn't have to be as big or heavy. I don't know if that would work but would love to try it.

[@exlibrisas]

I have no words how cool that is. And how practical it is, too. I don't game when I travel, because I need gaming to be a relaxed, stationary experience, but I totally see laptop lovers using this for their travels. P.S. I still can't get over his speaking tone. His cadence says "look how easy it is!" As if us, mere mortals, could do any of that. 😁 I find it pleasantly funny.

[@buca117]

There's honestly not a lot in this video that us mere mortals can't do. I was expecting him to use a CNC machine for that mounting plate, but he just used a drill. The 3D printer is really the only issue there. Plus, this would be so much easier to accomplish with a laptop motherboard, rather than a full-fat desktop one. Pull a board from a for-parts high end gaming laptop and you've got at least one NVMe drive bay, 16+GB of RAM, an easy to integrate power delivery (could even use a high-efficiency power brick), and even built-in support for a battery (yank the circuitry from the original battery and slap it on a home-made one and you'll be good to go). I'm honestly pretty interested in doing this myself. The only difficulty is cooling, as laptops aren't known for their standardized layouts.

I have way too many computers and speakers, most of which I barely if ever use, but that's okay. Some people have thousands of dollars worth of yarn in their houses. Others have massive gardens or project cars. End of the day, if you're doing it because you enjoy it, spending a bit of disposable income on it is fine, healthy even.

Imo, the thing that makes it special, and that separates this build from being a portable gaming laptop, and that also sets it apart from the AIO PCs that we are plagued with, is the very fact that it uses "standard" desktop hardware. if a CASE manufacturer teams up with a Display manufacturer, and create something like this that accepts desktop components. THAT would be awesome.

[@mikalbrown3227]

Would shatter the PC market especially if the airflow was similar

[@KentoCommenT]

An SFX power supply that accepts battery input would really help out. I'm 3D printing a PC like this (severely delayed by the GPU drought) with 3 touchscreen USBC monitors (because I couldn't find a 2 in 1 laptop with the specs I wanted, and I'd seldom use a desktop if it was desk only) that will be stacked like DIY Perks' dual monitor laptop but with a 3rd one on top, all mounted to the case, and unfortunately a battery backup was one of the few features I knew I wasn't going to be able to install. The PC is on track to squeeze in under 20L. Couldn't get an RX6800 so had to switch over to Intel to get the 3rd USBC Alt Mode port, but it means I could use the Vision D Z590i so I'm not complaining.
