What model are your components? Like which PSU and ssd and stuff?
This PC was my latest Build done this past summer
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
Cooler:Hyper 212 EVO black
GPU : Asus ROG Strix 2080 ti
RAM: was changed at a later date the one in the picture was some spare ram I had laying around cause RAm was not delivered yet at the time of building it is now 32 GB of ddr4 3600 mhz g skill trident z RAM
MOBO:asus X570 TUF wifi
PSU: I don’t quite remember… I believe it was a corsair 850 w psu 80 plus gold
1 TB corsair SSD
4 TB seagate HDD
128 GB samsung NVME drive for boot
case was a budget TG deepcool case. hated that thing such a waste to build great specs in a case but whatever man wants what he wats and it’s what he’s gonna get
Built February this year after a phone call from a friend that they were at canada computers looking for a keyboard came out with all these parts and no fucking keyboard. stardew valley, slime rancher, and league of legends machine
CPU: 2600x
cooler: stock cooler
MOBO: B450 ROG strix
GPU:2070 XC
RAM: 16 gig Trident Z
PSU: EVGA 750 w GQ
Storage: 840 evo for boot drive Don’t remember the capacity, 2 TB HDD
Case: H700i why such an expensive case? cause she liked the pretty RGB. CAse was a pleasure to build in so not going to complain…
this was built early 2018
by far one of my least favorite builds to have ever worked on cause of the case such a garbage cheap plastiky case.
CPU:1600x
cooler: Hyper 212 evo
MOBO: B350 asus ROG
GPU: RTX 2070 XC ultra was a 1060 during initial build
Storage: 1 TB WD blue
Boot: 500 GB 860 evo
Case: corsair Carbide spec 04 cable mGMT is garbage on this case dont buy it for any customer there are much better cases now at this price point.
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”:
- Get several 80mm fans (4 per side?) and mount them at a 45° angle
- Mount the GPU fans-down (reduces hight)
- Get RAM without heat spreaders so the fan on the cooler can be below it
- sfx or tfx PSU, maybe a nano-PSU with an external powerbrick (limits total system power to 180W)
- multi-core cables to connect the front panel to the internal components (pricy)
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… >.<

Yeah, NVIDIA should be ashamed
As much as I didn’t want to buy an NVIDIA GPU, the 2070 Super was perfect for my use case. If AMD ever creates decent drivers for their GPU’S, NVIDIA is screwed…especially with intel about to enter the GPU market.
