Since it has USB4 ports, you should make a thunderbolt eGPU enclosure with a water cooled GPU in it that supplements this mini pc. Just throwing a cool idea out there.

[@Kalphalus]

@@ZacBuildsHi! Sorry this reply is 9 months late, I also enjoy tinkering with stuff sometimes, and im interested in building a PC into a Wii U to run Gamecube, Wii, Wii U games, and more (through legal dumping), any suggestions on what to use, info for me to know, what preparations to have, etc? The reason I want to do this is to do something unique, and I thought I would ask you with all the stuff I have seen on the channel

[@BraveRubberDuck]

A measuring tip: get a printer scanner, lay the board horizontal (can't let it be sideways with components) and use the image as a backdrop of the design software. You can then take some reference measurements to scale the image properly and more easily sketch around stuff, measuring as you go to make sure things match. Taking a picture with a coin works well for more complicated stuff, but it's more prone to error due to angles and field of view.

[@unklewillard6402]

Normally I don't like Noctua fans color scheme that much, but they're perfect in this build, love this!!

[@CapScott]

Love the video, my only complaint is that the minisforum um690 is almost $715 USD. At that price point, you can probably build an itx pc and go from there. Sure, this already has the “parts” put together, but it’s just a lot for a “DIY” build. Love the wood working elements. Might try that part on an itx board and an off the shelf agpu

[@ZacBuilds]

Trust me I tried costing this out as an ITX build and by the time you get everything you need you end up being just as expensive and your foot print is significantly larger.

[@CaptainRex332]

I got a ad for a CNC machine while watching this

[@AndyM4cL30d]

Love to see what you could do with a minisforum AtoMan x7 Ti. with that 4 inch screen surrounded in wallnut it would look sick

[@HavadaBulut55]

Why did you use a USB y splitter instead of connecting both fans parallel to one usb cable, without the plugging of usb cables inside the case.

[@thumbwarriordx]

Protip: anything that's flat you can drop in a flatbed scanner to use as a reference to place holes very accurately. Could have made more form-fitting port holes if you can keep the board propped up on a scanner long enough Works well with 3D printed parts but probably better not to cut the wood down super thin to get proper clearance on the plugs, and definitely better not to countersink acrylic that thin.

[@mikeyunovapix7181]

I would love to get my hands a 3d printable version of this case. This whole thing is what I've been looking for in an emulation box.

Thermal head room won't do much when the performance is already limited by the wattage of the external power supply.

[@Stormbringer88]

This is very interesting BUT I was expecting actual game consoles, not emulation. Still, would something like that be possible? Like taking apart a PS5, XBox and Switch and cramming all of the components into a one-in-all homemade console.

[@StonerFromThe618]

nice little elegant pc. i wouldnt mind having one of those bad boys.

[@hawshimagical]

i thought you were going to jam the internal electronics of all those consoles into one box but this still very cool

[@AdoreLand]

If Launch box ever gives you problems or you want to make it more of a console experience theirs a program called steam ROM manager you can set it up to add all your roms emulators and all that to your steam library and the you can use steam big picture mode and you can also set steam big picture mode to launch on startup its a bit more complicated to setup but was well worth it for me

[@alphabuilders]

Starting to let the intention to build to the best of your ability and the highest quality slip a bit.. Not complaining but its more inspiring and no doubt would be more fulfilling and successful for you if if you continue to push yourself, I was shocked you even attempted the wire bundle and the fan solution was lazy. This PC is nice enough to deserve the lil attention to splice a wire off the power supply and install a switch or speed control, you could route a switch into the wood for example. I love your builds. Most people watch to see how far it can be perfected, keep improving keep it up. Again Im not complaining, its just that you have put everything into this way of life and are a pro youtuber so I am guessing you may agree, or not.. lol

pssssst. pro tip for marking stuff where to drill for u :) instead of hammering it in and potentially breaking things like the pcb .... paint the tips of the stands with a sharpie and put it where you want it. the paint wont be dry and you will have some decent markings there to work with ;) this works in all kind of situations ;)

Nice. For the price (£350~ in the UK) its pretty good. Though if you're willing to spend more (£489~ in the UK) for the UM790pro the improvement in performance will be pretty noticable. Plenty of these sorts of devices around though using the AMD 6000 series laptop chips at varying price points.

[@aaronbrenkus9126]

Nice look, also a neat extra, with USB 4 you can use an external GPU Box and make the system even faster if you want to, pretty much turning it into a legit high end PC gaming rig. There are tons of options now for them and they work really well with the newer Ryzen APUs. And, as a bonus, if you are gonna use this portable, you can leave the external GPU attached to wherever your main Monitor is and move the rest of the machine around nearly plug and play. I agree with a lot of the posters too, grab Big Box, the paid version of Launch box. It's worth the small amount paid and gives you even more flexibility.

[@ZacBuilds]

I already ordered the parts I'm going to need to make my own egpu enclosure! The videos probably still a ways off, but it's in the works!

[@TheDwarvenGameing]

I'd really recommend an emulation focused linux distro as there are a few out there that offer a launchbox like Ui except that they're completely navigatable with a controller and would give a much more Console-Like experience especially for couch gaming.

[@L319HV]

Big box version for launch box is highly recommended. It works great for when you plug it into a tv. All you have to do is open it with a keyboard and mouse first and then the rest is handled by a controller.

[@greenprotag]

I think it would be nice to use brass mesh on the fan sides so that when you intake air it helps filter out the larger dust particles. It will also add a bit of class to the somewhat bland look of the hexagonal holes. Give it an "old radio" aesthetic. You could also use cloth or screen door material of you wanted a different look.

[@puregenius1983]

Is there a link to where to purchase the same mini PC used in this custom build?

[@yomomma6467]

since it has liquid metal instead of thermal paste, having it on its side like that is very bad for the cpu. the liquid metal pools at the bottom of the cpu, and the top part ends up burnt out and over heated

[@grumpywoodchucker]

Great build. Definitely looks like a Tie-Fighter! #walnuttiefighter

[@solverz4078]

For the usb cables, you should of use brought some USB connectors and soldered the fan wires directly to the connector, would of looked factory and very low profile

[@matthysloedolff]

Cool build, Zac! I love this everything console series. I think the integration of walnut adds a lot of aesthetic to the computer. Just a small gripe I had is that Moore's Law is actually dead. We can no longer double the number of transistors on a chip every two years due to physical limitations. The transistors are giving more issues than solutions when you shrink them down past a certain size. The technology is there to make them smaller, but due to a little thing called Quantum Physics you can't get a good transistor. Fortunately, people are researching ways of overcoming physics with molecular electronics (one example) being proposed as an alternative. Essentially, molecules (much much smaller than the smallest transistor currently) can be used as transistors. Currently, there is no real success in this venture apart from a select few molecules. I apologise for this little rant. I did my PhD in nanochemistry and know several researchers doing molecular electronic research. So, everytime I hear about Moore's Law I pay closer attention. (I know this is a me problem) I know this was also at the very beginning of the video and I know you jokingly said it too. I did watch through to the end and very much enjoyed the build and your design process.

[@ZacBuilds]

Oh don't worry, I 100% agree with you. Moores law is dead and I say it to people all the time. The exponential growth of technology through the 80s 90s and early 2000s is a thing of the past and I'm sad to see it go. I remember being a kid and having a computer that was 2 years old was basically a relic. These days a 5 year old computer is still serviceable. As you said were running up against the limits of physics. I was just being silly and joking around in the intro

[@matthysloedolff]

@@ZacBuilds exactly! Funny thing also is that one of the big things Moore regretted the most was people using his hypothesis/quote and naming it after him. I also just want to be clear, I'm was also not trying to have a go at you. I simply have mild compulsive corrective issues at times haha. I really like the content you make too and appreciate the less click-batey titles when compared to Eric's recent trend. (I know KZbin and the algorithm rewards click-bate)

Nice build, Zac! This is probably going to be lost or not read, but is there any reason you didn't use the original case to use for measurements? You could have put tape over the OG case, hit it with pencil and had an easier time maybe? I did something similar to an old laptop build I did and it worked out fine.

[@YellowBear592]

I was just gonna post this, additionally, if pencil would be too much time, you could also use spray paint for a better contrast. Then, to get those measurements digitally, scan that stencil from a printer or phone, then, convert that into a real measurement based off of th scan size.

[@inevitable8960]

I wish you sold these dope work homie

[@VinnyVidiVintage]

I am confused... did you glue the acrylic to the wood case on both sides? What happens if you need to work on the pc at some point? Like if ram goes bad, or your wifi card shuts down? Do you have to break into the case to access the internals? Up to that point, I was loving the build, but gluing it together really is messing with my head...

[@TehKazlehoff]

did the little computer have a built-in CPU fan? might want to make sure you are not getting overspin, it can cause the fan to start generating power instead of using it, causing power to backfeed into the system, causing damage.

I think this is now a goal of mine (buying a mini-PC for emulation, minus DS/3DS, Wii U, and Switch games), freeing up my main PC for daily tasks and, well, PC games. Does adding the two fans and paste drastically increase cooling, or would I be fine without those? That said, I most likely wouldn't overclock said mini-PC.

See I like emulation... For everything 16bit and below. Because the entire library of a consoles games consist usually of a couple of gigabytes worth of data that's easily accessible. Everything cd based so 32 bit onwards. Your talking, huge amounts of data storage required for a complete library for any given system. Not to mention you've got to sped the time rifling through the Internet looking for bits and pieces sporadically because there's no such thing as a complete Dreamcast library source, or saturn or ps1 or on and on library out there. So you trawl through dodgy website after dodgy website, pursuing the way back machine riding by the seat of your pants trying to find one version of one game that might work once you download at 5kb a second cos you don't have a paid membership to this or that downloading service and test it... Will it work... Mate it ain't worth the hassle for anything beyond 16bit. Much easier to buy the game and play it on the console which you can probably buy for 40quid

[@conandude76]

Cannot find it anywhere for less than 800+.... with nothing LIKE the specs you're claiming here, as they've upped it to ddr5 32gb MIN.

[@tolyhallas7271]

While it is a gorgeous build, having it oriented on its side could be an issue because of the liquid metal heat sink. PS5s run into an issue where the cpu will burn itself out because the liquid metal will pool on one side. This happens because of the advertised orientation of the console that most people use. This might be something you wanna consider.

Yes it is, by a good margin. It's got more than twice the power budget, and the CPU cores are from the next generation. That being said the iGPU is similar, though clocked faster in the EC MK3. It's similar in power to the latest Ayeneo system. However it's got more cooling and power to play with. And the CPU is clocked slightly faster.

Love how you've future proofed it but with how secure the Xbox one is I doubt there will ever be an emulator made for it :) (since there have been jailbreak for the PS4 there is a possibility they can make an emulator for it)
