On suggestion from others I’m making a thread to post PC stuff for anyone interested. I’m super passionate about this topic and if you have questions I’d be happy to try to help 
Here’s my recent PC build, actually my first.
And here’s a PC Part Picker link
What model are your components? Like which PSU and ssd and stuff?
They look good. Looking forward to hearing more about them

I can’t get over that awesome case lol 
That’s a sick case is that a modded brief case?
That case is pretty freaking sweet…are you looking at more efficient components to load into that portable? Seams like an interesting prospect with a totally different set of parameters from a usual PC build…
No, that was a bunch of bits and pieces:
Complete Build Log:
I got a 520W PSU in there, if space (or mainboard) allowed for it, I could have two GPUs in there.
A battery to make it truely portable would make it impossible to move without putting wheels on it.
What if you put together a hodgepodge of OEM laptop components. Use the same design basics, but much smaller, more efficient parts. Think that could be an interesting project to basically build your own “desktop killer” “laptop” - really more of a portable computer at this point…but whatever
Problem with laptop components is they are purpose built to the point modding is near impossible.
A few things that could work for a hypothetical “Version 2”:
Well it looks pretty. I have questions. I wanna know all the pieces lol
Nice color choice!
Looks like your next one will be a venture into custom loop cooling.
This is my pcpartpicker post and parts list.
Custom loops are awesome, but I personally can’t justify the expense unless I were to build an insanely high end pc. The cooling doesn’t give any practical boost to performance unless the parts being cooled are the absolute top end and you plan to overclock. Now if I win the lottery…I’m all for it. I think it looks amazing and really brings an artistic element onto the build. But a full loop for CPU and GPU runs 1000$++ which really prohibits it from being worth it for all but the highest end builds imo.
I want to do a custom loop next build, but is a few years away. I think that the market for custom loop parts is going to get more competitive and cheaper now that EK and Alphacool have legitimate competition with Corsair, Phanteks and enermax all in the market.
I sure hope so. Currently like I said I can’t justify the cost unless my components are top of the line. And I can’t even justify the top of the line components to myself (I’m looking at you Nvidia) for the price…
Edit: also looking at Intel for about the last ten years… >.<
