Transform a laptop into a stunning desktop media PC (for CHEAP)

In this video I'll be showing you how to build a beautiful desktop PC out of an old damaged laptop for peanuts (aka, not much money). This is a great way to re-use old hardware for cheap, and it's a fantastic creative outlet. I used veneer to make it look like an art piece, but I reckon that leather would look nice if done right, as would vinyl wrap. Go wild guys!

Judging by the comments it looks like the design divides opinion, which is great! The best bit about this is that you can design it to your own personal tastes. My tastes lean more towards rustic wood and industrial design, rather than RGB and 'gamer lines', but each to their own! Judging by the huge number of likes this video is getting though it seems that the vast majority of viewers like it, which is lovely. :) Thanks guys! By the way, I may do an FAQ video soon, so tweet me any questions (not project questions... think more general) you want to ask me and I may answer them in the video. Regarding the questions asked on this video: *What are the temps like with the small fan?* As the fan is small and spins slowly, the airflow is very low, but as the heatsink is so large it keeps it cool enough for a media PC. In general use it is unlikely to ever get over 40c. *This isn't a cheap project, why advertise it as such?* Because it's just that - cheap. The laptop cost me £12, and I salvaged a few bits to upgrade it a bit (like the SSD, which is an older model now so isn't worth much). The other costs went on the aluminium, MDF, etc, so I'd estimate the cost of the build itself is about £25 max. Compare that to even a low spec NUC PC, and it's tremendous value... not to mention it's actually significantly more powerful than a cheap NUC or PC Stick! *Why not just connect the laptop to the TV?* Boring. Ugly. Tasteless. Besides, I'm literally in the business of making cool projects for everyone to watch. Cheerio for now!

[@debojitacharjee]

DIY Perks It's not a great idea to build PC with wooden case because wood is a very bad conductor of heat and electricity. Your processor is running with a fanless heatsink and it's inside a wooden case that will also increase the temperature and its a risk to the hardware parts and performance will also decrease in time!

Guys remember to remove the battery from your laptop when starting to disassemble it. And before you remove the keyboard near the panel there's a wire that attaches the keyboard to the motherboard inside the laptop so carefully lift the keyboard and then where the wire is connected open the cap of the plug then remove the wire. This way you can safely remove the keyboard without breaking anything.

Thank you SO much for this video guide!! I've been wracking my brain wondering how best to go about this exact concept. I simply knew it had to be possible and was even further motivated when I've had a few techy friends scoff at the idea as if impossible.... I have an incredibly reliable Asus laptop that recently the screen glass was shattered on... Despite its 6yr age it's heat sinks are incredible, the whole thing still performs to modern standards (though I chose to upgrade to SSD and will be doing a couple things like RAM increase and whatnot to even further it's longevity), and I'm honestly just not ready to scrap it and fork out another $1-2k to buy a new version when there's nothing wrong outside the screen damage. I initially considered "why not build a custom encasement?"; so seeing this was surreal. Truly grateful as you've now shown me I absolutely CAN keep my little gem going in a remarkably unique (and cost effective) way. I cannot thank you enough!!!! I'm beyond excited to get started!

[@AsamiImako]

Well, newer laptops with thunderbolt, and older laptops with ExpressCard slots can run external GPUs, however this requires the proper docking kit and usually a separate external power supply, which would make this build much larger.

[@AsamiImako]

Including the battery is useful also regardless of if it is always plugged in since it can basically act as a built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply, making sure the system can be safely shut down in the event of a power outage, and keeping it properly powered through any small power flickers.

Just amazing. Here I was looking in the description for a link to the case. Watched a lil bit longer and 🤦🏽‍♂️. Of course DYIPerks built it himself. Lol what was I thinking. Brilliant mate!

[@webx135]

Quick note: You could also use a resistor to drop the voltage to the fan. For a low enough resistance, the heat if the resistor isn't much of a problem, and because the input voltage doesn't change (it uses PWM instead of analog), you don't have to worry about inconsistent voltage drop. What this would allow you to do is not only use the existing connector, but take advantage of the fact that the fan doesn't spin up unless necessary, and thus you can have TOTAL silence much of the time unless you are running somsething like P95. This was a total joy to watch. Great work! I'm fond of the style you use. I always liked the idea of a computer appearing as an elegant piece of furniture rather than a plastic RGB "Gamer" mess. But of course I say this with exactly that kind of pc. I'll have to start picking up some woodworking tools and trying this stuff out!

the audio jack setup could have been done simply with a male-female audio cable set. the way you did it is a little bit too complicated for the average user.

[@TheBrokenLife]

Or just stream over bluetooth to an analog adapter at the other end. No cords.

[@jacoavo7875]

I think he soldered it for better quality sound. Ive found that using those male-female extensions usually have a noticeable audio quality drop. Its rather easy to just solder the longer cable anyway and know its all going to sound as good as it was.

[@dan_loeb]

You shouldn't have any audio quality drop with a standard 3.5mm cable. if you do you bought a shit one, only thing that's ever happened is I've needed to use a ground loop isolator to remove noise the case and onboard audio themselves generate via dc/ac power feedback.

[@jacoavo7875]

True, and its quite a shame you cant really find a good quality one that justifies the price(atleast where I am live), which is why I`de just solder a new high quality wire like he did ;). I do think tho that there are many ways to solve the same problem, depending on what your circumstances are and what knowledge and time you have available. I guess thats why people can comment on these threads, to help others learn of alternative ways of doing things.

[@dan_loeb]

if you really wanted quality audio for cheap, chinese 1 to 1 hardware clones of reputable $100-200 USB DACs can be found for 20-50$ range. this is quite typical of electronics these days, US companies source the parts from China and Taiwanese firms design nearly every current laptop in existence, they are the laptop ODMs for everyone from acer to dell, hp, lenovo, asus, etc. MSI is the only one who does it entirely themselves (but again, in china) as their own ODM, and generally costs a bit more for the same performance and same failure rates. You may see things say assembled in the USA, but you'll be hard pressed to find a PCB device that was entirely made in the USA these days. that's just a generic response to people who shout "buy american!" when you mention chinese products. in electronics, american products simply don't exist, and when they do the cost is exponentially higher for what is largely an automated (not sustained by blue collar jobs) manufacturing industry.

Useful tip that I use: come up with a complicated password, and then append each password with the letter of the website you're using it for, i.e. "Password123F" for Facebook.

Maybe it was intentional for people to comment. He is able to do that, he edit the video afterwards , right? '-)))

[@marcago3710]

This is so clean!

[@gershombenni8072]

Good video, may be one day i will try this with my old laptop…

[@SandmannOZ]

That's great, you did a really good job and made it into a beautiful piece that wouldn't look out of place in a lounge room as a media PC. You don't need to start with a laptop, any mid range PC will work just fine, but it's a great use of an otherwise useless piece of tech.

Nice design, good job.

[@fistpunder]

Makes me want to build some things again. Thanks for the inspiration.
