I love that you did all that work and never cleaned out the CPU fan.

[@fabiofontes]

I did :) Just quick, but i did. Also put nem Mx4 Thermalpaste ;) .

[@benafedeyim]

@@fabiofontes it looks dirty at 12:05

[@fabiofontes]

@@benafedeyim it does! My bad :) But i have clean it maybe not so well :)

[@benafedeyim]

@@fabiofontes anyways the project is great but i have a question. Some laptops doesnt open bios through second monitor. Did you have a problem about it and solved but thought it unnecessary to mention?

[@fabiofontes]

@@benafedeyim Im not shure… But i think this model opens bios on hdmi… im pretty shure …

[@dekion261]

I would have gone a different way, but that doesn't mean I'm right and you are wrong. Just different. I love what you did, and wish more ppl did it. Not every laptop needs to be tossed away after it's had a fall or collision. Thank you for documenting this, and sharing.

[@fabiofontes]

Thank for stoping by and let me know for ur opinion!!!! Thnks man!

[@Slaughta18]

Tell us your different way then don't leave me in suspense!?

[@ColtenGarrett-ic7rz]

I'm actually working on this now. Why I clicked the video.

[@sigitasgood2325]

Why nOt frOm laptOp to laptOp? Why laptOp to PC? Is that more easy way Than rebuilt old laptop using transparan glass and modern BIG battery and Good webcam and LED screen?

Any help I want to start a project like this Can I add graphic cards?

Weird to think that mini pc exist because of the popularity of these builds becoming more a mainstream in the market which led the company to just make the devices smaller

[@alexcortez3971]

definitely not how i would've done it as some others have said but i like the style a lot it really shows a realistic DIY with very minimal work that i think how most people would actually do even though i said i would've done differently but probably wouldn't have out of over estimating myself.

[@fabiofontes]

Thnks !!! :) I respect everybody opinions ! 💪 thnks for your words!

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

I would have found some wood laying around in my garage, took some stand offs, screw them into the wood, slap the board onto the stands, powered it on and called it good. Amazing work.

[@fabiofontes]

Im looking to do a Wood one to! :) 💪🤞

[@colinreece3452]

I like it, maybe next do a case to hold a low profile GPU as well and maybe another SSD.

[@fabiofontes]

We can add a bunch of cool stuff but the goal here is to be cheap! :)

[@colinreece3452]

@@fabiofontes Oh yeah, I wasn't knocking what you did, I liked it a lot, it was just another thought. I like the idea of building inside a different case.

[@fabiofontes]

@@colinreece3452 I got u! Also an EGPU its a good idea :)

I'm BR too and bro, your english is awesome. Excelent work btw, if you install some SteamOS derived distro you can transform it on a game console also.

This is great. I love these kinds of projects that save ewaste. One question: can you still get into the bios wothout the orginal laptop screen conmected?

[@fabiofontes]

Thks !!! Yes this one u can get into bios with external monitor! its perfect

[@owenaylward]

You should make these and sell them I think people would pay good money as it’s so unique Amazing production

Thnks a lot for your words :) it woul be epic see people buy this things 😂😂

hi! Great video!

[@fabiofontes]

Thank you!!!

[@cristiano440]

Belo Projeto Fabio! tenho um Dell aqui parado com a tela quebrada, estou pensando em fazer algo parecido. E tudo bem ligar ele sem bateria? Tem gente que diz que danifica...

[@fabiofontes]

Obrigado!!! Podes ligar sem problema! :) Nao danifica nada…

[@Zactivist]

I really enjoyed this! That was really cool and very satisfying to watch! I really like how despite setbacks, you just made things work- that's the spirit of DIY that I really admire. Great project- makes me want to do similar. I'm curious also- how much RAM does the system have by default, and why not upgrade it to double via the empty slot? Or maybe you since have? Anyway, very cool video and project, thank you!

[@fabiofontes]

Hey! Thanks a lot by your kind words!!!! The system has 8gbs of ram by default not bad so i decide to let it as it is…

[@neirodrigues4159]

Very good brother, I made one of these a few years ago!!

[@fabiofontes]

Thnks man!

[@Rain-sr9pp]

Great video

[@fabiofontes]

Thnks man!

[@pvictorc]

Muito bom. Pq não deixou a bateria, já que serviria como um nobreak para o PC? Fez outro projeto com ela?

[@D4GUNI4]

Boa Ideia

[@fabiofontes]

Inicialmente ia deixar a bateria mas acabei por nao deixar pk os cabos sao mt pequenos e tinha de fazer uma extensao ao conector e nao estava com tempo … alem disso tenho outro notebook igual e ficou para suplente ;)

[@roglopes.mobile2568]

Awesome !

Thnks!!!! 💪

[@Thuliolima2008]

Very Good!

Olá, Parabéns pelo projeto! Muito bom gosto e excelente trabalho. Se não se importa, poderia me dizer quando custou a confecção das placas acrílicas? Forte e abraço e tudo de bom!

[@fabiofontes]

Ola! Obrigado. Sao ligeiramente caras neste caso foram oferta de um parceiro mas facilmente passam os 60€

[@MiguelGuatemala]

Hubiera sido excelente colocarle la batería también.. por lo demás, un EXITO!!!

[@fabiofontes]

Gracias!!! Si ainda pensei tambien mas lo conector es curto e tbien tiengo outro laptop igual e la bateria fica suplente :)

[@rebaellion]

incrível, ops, awesome !!!

[@fabiofontes]

Thank you!!! Obrigado!!! 😂

[@yudicreativeartstudio6279]

Awesome art. How do you connect the power to the variations of the LED lights below, where does the power come from

[@fabiofontes]

On the board there , in this case, there is a 5V point un used.. So i just solder 2 Wires and voila! :)

[@MotownBatman]

Man I wish I had the tools or friends with the tools to make a case like that great job

[@fabiofontes]

My friend has a nice machine!! A think it cost around 60000$ !!

[@MotownBatman]

@@fabiofontes I used to work doing CAD/CAM, I had access to it all, not so much anymore I was looking at slightly higher end Laser engravers that can cut wood... make almost a Jigsaw set like some of these you see on Etsy and whatnot

[@fabiofontes]

@@MotownBatman i need to learn CAD 😂

[@MotownBatman]

@@fabiofontes I lied durring an interview in 2k3 that I took CAD in Highschool, not thinking I would actually get the Job 🤣🔫: I tried to pick it back up 2 yers ago, a lot has changed lol

[@MrLucasXVII]

The project turned out very well, but the crooked LED strip bothered me.

[@fabiofontes]

yeah not the best LED strip 😂

[@freddyhardware840]

Looks cool. I broke the screen of my Lenovo x220i when I accidentally bumped it off the table while chasing a mouse 😠😥. Fortunately, it still works, and a couple of 24" monitors are plugged in it as I like reading my documents, including online comics like manga, manhua, etc, on portrait mode. Sometimes, when I'm studying, I have my documents on auto scroll

[@fabiofontes]

Thnks man!!! :)

[@MrNicetux]

Really nice idea to use such a destroyed notebook. But, if I would make it, i think i choose better speakers instead of this mini speakers. But, like it.

[@fabiofontes]

Yeah! It is a good opinion… this is just crapy speakers 😂😂

[@hyd-megido]

I'd like to try this on my laptop but the enclosure is my problem, would be nice if there are premade case for this type of projects available out in the market

[@fabiofontes]

The micro atx cases could be an option but some mods for shure will be needed … not easy to find a 100% fit

[@eugened5437]

Хорошая работа! Я сам размышлял делать такие кейсы для старых ноутбуков у которых корпус изуродован и сломан. Думаю в следующий раз отверстия для разъемов нужно сделать по шире, а то еле кабели заходят и шатается кнопка включения, а также ввиду того что внешне мат платы не такие красивые по дизайну как у эпл(черные), стоило бы покрасить корпус в однотонный цвет.

[@fabiofontes]

Thanks mate!!!

[@GitOverFlowWithJoy]

I found your really great, but just one suggestion whenever you design something, make sure you account for the required tolerances based on the material you will be using that way you won't have to resize it again to fit it properly. In Engineering we follow a standard Design guidelines to account for it, I am pretty sure you find similar guidelines for 3d printing online or in the machine manufacturers website.

[@fabiofontes]

Thanks!! In this case i do but my partner make an error with the materials but it came out cool anyway :)

[@rosspeplow]

Great video, I have an old 2013 MacBook with a dead battery. I think I will try something similar to this and create a headless Linux box for pihole, Minecraft servers etc. thank you for the inspiration.

[@fabiofontes]

It will work just fine also!! Thank you for comment!! 💪

[@MJArdha]
