Since I uploaded the build videos of my DIY gaming laptop, it's been awesome to see the project getting picked up and shared across the internet. I thought it might be fun to do a little roast of a few different laptop builds that have been posted to Reddit. This is all in good fun! Not every project needs to be a living symptom of OCD that takes over a year to finish (like mine). I have huge appreciation for anyone who dives into any DIY project, and I love when people share any type of build with other nerds like us. These are all pretty cool projects, so props to the creators!

DIY Gaming Laptop (with a Whole DESKTOP PC Stuffed Inside!!)
มุมมอง 675K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
After 14 months of trying to figure out how the *&$#!^ to make this thing actually work (and look okay-ish in the process), we're finally here. If you haven't guessed, it's a custom DIY laptop built completely from scratch, with a Ryzen CPU and a Radeon GPU and everything else a regular desktop might have.

I built a laptop using 3d printed parts, but reinforced and finished properly to look similar to an actual production laptop you might find in a store. All the parts are desktop hardware, with a full-power CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 5600X) as well as a full power desktop GPU (XFX RX6600). This build video is part 1 of 2.

Poly Bridge in Real Life (Multiple Bridges)

With Poly Bridge 3 coming out, I thought it would be fun to bring a few Poly Bridge levels to life in the real world. This is a way to honor the design style we've all grown to love from the middle-child game, and it's also just a silly project to give me something to do so I stay out of trouble. With painting, 3d printing, foam work, and more, these bridges finally exist in the real world. Sho...

    I just dont get why no case manufacturer has addressed this yet. If they made even a bigger suitcase like case that comes with or can hold a monitor, it would definitely be an instant buy. I hate having to buy a new expensive gaming laptop every couple years, it would be much cheaper and probably gave you more fps if you could just use mid range desktop parts.

    Listen, it's all great, good job but you REALLY need to get that heatpipe/heatsink connection fixed. JB Weld is NOT the solution. As far as I can tell you are capable of soldering things, why don't you just look up, coppper soldering, buy like a tiny bit of copper soldering solder and go to town.

    Always liked these ever since I first saw a video of someone making their own years ago, but they never made any actual sense to have outside of windows for stores or niche things like computer case side panels or maybe for placing over the top of an existing mirror to get a "smart" mirror effect. The average computer user is either going to have this up against a plain wall, which kinda defeats the point of it being transparent, or will find it absolutely useless because of too much background distraction visible through it AND the lack of backlight to make the screen actually visibly useable. Some of the newer OLED versions being developed would be a better option seeing as those have self-illuminating LEDs, but again only viable really in VERY niche and limited markets and use cases.

    Cool video! I had the same idea! the first time I did it using an aftermarket Apple 2GS case and I attached an LCD screen to the back and had it flip down like a laptop. Yes, it was a lot larger than a laptop, It was more like a portable computer than a laptop, but I was able to put full-size boards And GPUs in it. If I went with an ITX, I would just take a regular laptop separate the bottom from the top and 3-D print a spacer to go between the two to give you as much room as you need to fit the ITX motherboard in there then with some connectors from Amazon, you can connect that Touchpad and keyboard to your motherboard, and the top of your rig will be exactly the same as the original laptop and so will the bottom it’ll just be a lot fatter both are good but this way is a lot thinner. I prefer the bigger full-size motherboard in the Apple two GS laptop that I made lol

    Hi, to facilitate the sanding, use a rectangular piece of wood, tighten your sand paper band along the wood length and use 4 pins (2 on each side of the wood height) to keep it in place, it is mush better for flat surfaces (keeps them real flat). Nice contraption ;-)

    You did a damn fine job for a craft of such maximum jankiness. I would consider refining the product and cadding out the whole thing. There is a market for something like this, and while you janked the absolute shit out of this bad boy, there’s no reason it can’t be cleaned up and kickstartered as a product. You could sell it as a pc case or barebones kit. I’m sure there’s a number of lower profile itx boards that you could sell customized I/o shields for, and loads of people that would be willing to help design some custom pcbs in order to help decrease jankiness to an except-able level.
