Project Ionic: BIG GPU, tiny motherboard...

[@Miniac]

You absolutely are an excellent craftsmen, engineer, and designer. Don't sell yourself short.

[@NotFromConcentrate]

I've butchered a motherboard or two in my time as they say. xD Thanks dude

Only problem is that human cloning hasn't been discovered yet, and NFC is a one man operation, imagine if there was like 10 of him !!! all them glorious videos !!!!

[@mcteags]

Don't let Josh fool you into thinking he's just a normal average guy. His work is quality. This build is super cool. Keep up the good work man.

[@NotFromConcentrate]

I am below average, which should inspire everyone to do this stuff. I do have buckets of charisma and ignorance of the art, which together help me get this stuff done because I don't know what I don't know! :D Love you bro.

So many things about this build coincide with characteristics of good architectural work. There is a clarity to its parts, and each component meaningfully relates back to the entire composition.

I don't deserve that but I'll take it. :)

[@moonyaim]

One of the most talented PC builders of our time... keep up the creative work. I loved your Project Density build.

[@NotFromConcentrate]

My head might not be able to fit in my favorite ball cap with praise like that be careful xD

[@moonyaim]

@@NotFromConcentrate Haha. I had a question about project density, and if it is compatible with being a eGPU. I think I can fit some usb and ethernet ports along with the GPU itself

[@Dan-Simms]

Beautiful build, happy I randomly saw this and clicked. Made a new sub.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

I've used Send Cut Send for a project - I'm a big fan. They're fast, they've got a lot of choices, their prices are fair, they package the product well, and they do good work.

[@NotFromConcentrate]

get yo discount!

[@ccricers]

I recommend Send Cut Send as well, done 4 orders with them so far. I was so happy I found a place that laser cuts metal for a very low price minimum. They are great for prototyping!

[@Anyue]

this is the most unique pc i have seen dang good job

[@machinainc5812]

Looks insanely awesome. I adore it. Amazing creativity.

[@satin227]

I love how unique your builds are. I just got my Skyreach 4 MINI Silver in the mail a few weeks ago the dell laptop brick and the HDPLEX 400 I ordered arrive Monday. My tech-savvy friends and family don't understand the niche concept of the designs I find them to be absolute works of art.

[@rickotap3859]

this is awesome. guess my next build wont get a off-the-shelf case. I love this design, but I will probably do something diffrent... thx for the inspiration! ♥

[@IIBLANKII]

Dude, you completely solved the problem of finding a PSU for the current project I've been working on. Thank you! Also I am a percussionist so I know a bit about purple heart from my experience playing marimba. It's a super strong wood, and is one if not the best wood for marimbas because they produce a loud, clean, consistent sound.

Honestly. The smaller and more efficient we can get our tech. The better really. I want to see a day where we can fit an mxm slot sized 1080ti and an i7 or R7 in something the size of an mITX motherboard box.

[@igingmd19]

you are neither of them, because you are a genius! great build bro!

[@biberbotzemann]

This is stunningly simple and beautiful. Well done!

[@nodirbeksharipov458]

This is the closest thing to magic. Still cant figure out where the PSU is and how it actually works

[@meateaw]

It has an external power brick (think laptop power brick) that provides 19 volts to the small board mounted behind the GPU next to the motherboard. The small board takes in 19 volts, outputs 19 volts (to power the motherboard), and 12 volts (to power the GPU and to power the PCIE slot for the GPU)

[@makatron]

That's some next level craftsmanship, a modern art piece.

[@SquishyFletcher]

I honestly wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to designing a unique piece of functional tech art like this.

[@crazytech5755]

Get a super small board, make holes on whatever surface you want to mount the stand offs, make a bracket to hold the gpu on the other side and add a x16 extension to where the card is. It's not super hard, not at all actually. But to make it look super clean and nice it will take some thought. You can do it ;)

[@codycast]

David Boggs I’d rather just buy the stand and cables and just buy the MB/CPU/GPU and go from there

[@richardshaw4693]

amazing work dude. You are an inspiration, and now you've got me planning and modelling my own super custom build...who know's maybe I'll KZbin it to share with the world :) keep up the amazing work!!!

Nice build i have a comment about the name Ionic was not the simple minimal style the minimal was the Doric ,ionic had flowers and more delicate decorasions . Sorry for being that guy im Greek this is what we learned in our school 😃😁

[@unogazzy84]

It looks like a holder for a GPU but it's a real working computer. Great work! If you still have the purple heart shavings. Please send them to Peter Brown so he could use the shavings in a dip-it video or you could try to make a stand or something else by mixing epoxy and the shavings. It will probably look cool.
