Hay I made this because I wanted it desperately to exist; was wondering what others think? Is it something others want as well?
I wanted a computer for having multiple virtual machines to replicate multiple server environments when computer programming, and taking to programmer/hacker events; but I hate the non-upgradability of laptops, and the crazy price of laptops when they have a high number of cores/high amount of RAM compared to desktops. Also once you go passive everything else sounds like a jet engine, so I wanted it passive as well.
So I worked the math for calculating the heat for a passive 65W 8 core 64 GB machine; and looked for heat exchanges that where exactly 170mm wide; and this is what I made!
Planned it to fit in Camera carrying backpack with all those Velcro dividers, with 60% keyboard, mouse, power brick, battery pack, and portable monitor(s).
So yeah, not really a game machine, a GPU would have to be on a Riser cable and attached to the acrylic front with some new holes... Or maybe only attached when home? (just think of it as ultra modular)
