tiny pc

This project makes me so happy. I love her. She's my favorite.
The Fab Lab sponsorship campaign is over! Thanks to your support, the Lab raised over $5,000 to grant hackerspace work time to dozens of hackers in need!
I love my gaming PC and its cyberpunk style, so I grabbed a Raspberry Pi 4 and made a 1/4 scale mini version. Then, I got carried away and made a micro monitor, little mouse, tiny split keyboard, and diminutive desk for my Raspberry Pi mini PC.
The Coccolith is super-cute and is becoming my favorite electronics project on the channel. It's 3D printed in eight different filaments, has two fake graphics cards, it plays Doom, and of course, it plays Minecraft.
Speaking of, I didn't blow up 400 blocks of TNT. I blew up 8,000. It's been a long couple of weeks.

I put these little noctua fans in my Unifi Usg Pro 4, similar to the ones you used in this tiny pc, because the stock ones were so dang noisy. Not only is it much quieter now, but it's running cooler also

[@AlexAskerman]

6:20 For true liquid cooling, consider building a tiny peristaltic pump from the smallest dc motor and flexible tubing you can find. They do sell prebuilt ones about the size of a cubic quarter. You also could probably cut a section out of an old radiator and trim the fins down to size for a tiny radiator as well, some soldering/brazing fittings may be required.

[@ianfrancis3605]

This is why KZbin is so great. Subscribed and onto more of your vids.

watching this in 2022 exposes some irony - you say how proud you are with the water cooling of the PC, the same water cooling that failed and fried it. I did love the the lacklights so much more than the RGB that everyone else now has
