Little bit of progress today, trimmed the front of the Xbox housing and removed the motherboard VGA port in order to have it fit. Finished printing the test motherboard tray and the dimensions are largely accurate so far. Done a little bit more work in Fusion 360 and have come to the (not...

I've been toying with the idea of a PC-in-a-console for a long time and finally decided the time was right to build something super compact that could also be used on a regular basis. Having weighed up the options, I think the Xbox One S is the smallest I could get away with. - Xbox One S All...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, as much as it's sort of cheating in my own head, I'm now leaning more towards using the SAVAGO GaN as an external power supply (I have a friend in Beijing who can probably forward it to me). The internal 12V options I've been looking at drop off in...

It's advertised as 19V, but the AM4 X300 can run on 12V as well, which should be less of a headache.

The RTX 4070 FE has a TDP of 200W, I plan on using a Ryzen 7 5700GE with a default TDP of 35W, so it'd be tight which is why I was planning on undervolting. I had a look at the HDPlex range, but I think most of them are a bit too big, plus the GAN PSU ATX connections would be pretty redundant...

I've started toying with the idea of a compact PC build, just to push my skills as far as possible and hopefully learn some new ones along the way. I've been thinking of a build using an ASRock X300 motherboard and Alphacool ST25 120mm radiator, which should just about fit side-by-side in an...

Been procrastinating over this project for waaaaay too long, so thought making a build log would perhaps help me move things along a bit, as well as maybe gather some ideas. So far I've test-fitted the components inside the Xbox One S (All-Digital) case with a laser cut motherboard/GPU tray, as...

...I feel I came across something similar to what I mentioned in the title while browsing these forums a while back. I've connected my Intel NUC and M.2 external GPU to the same 12V source, but of course when the NUC is in standby, the graphics card will still be completely on and the fan will...
