Hello there, so I have been working on a project that is somewhat of a laptop but not really , more of a ultra portable desktop Lantop? Any ways I originally posted this on the LTT forums link here linustechtips.com/main/topic/1030194-the-diy-laptop-proof-of-concept/.
So the idea was to make a computer case as closes to the size of the laptop with fully replaceable components and of course with a integrated keyboard.
I originally started with a half open case design then moved to a enclosed one. I recently finished the lower portion of the case and figured I should share on this forum as well. So here are some pictures of the build and some of the parts used in the build.
I am currently using
Custom lower handcrafted case measuring 49 cm long by 30cm wide by 28mm thicc boy.
IMB 1215 motherboard from asrock
Intel i5 8500 cpu
gtx 1660 ti
2 8gb corsair ram sticks
intel 660p 2 tb m.2 ssd
1u low profile copper cpu cooler block
1u low profile custom gpu cooler block and mount.
2 92mm low profile fans
anidees keyboard
Custom cabling
Hd Plex DCATX 400 w psu
DELL 330 W brick
This is still a prototype work in progress and I will probably change out some parts like the psu and maybe some cabling. Everything works although the mother board does not seem to like the 1660 ti.. It detects it but does not want to use it . It is a bios issue and driver incompatibility I think and will work on that soon along with the upper chassis for a 21 inch screen to be attached by some hinges. Anyways hope this is interesting to some.
Cheers
