Honestly I've seen more new monitors with USBC than anything, I've really only seen DP on the back of computers and even then usually just converted into hdmi externally
@endersquid1132 USB C is not yet a standard to deliver content due to severe fragmentation, the similarities ending with the port design. If you see a DP, you know what's it for, and that's what the industry, and the commencial products have followed, unless if a product was for consumer interaction, and HDMI found its space.
Common practice by manufacturers for extra long flat ribbon cables is to fold them. There are also adhesive backed nylon stand-offs, but I think they're a bit taller than the hex stand-offs.
I like the fact that you are very creative to your solutions i highly recommend this video out of all the other creational videos I've watched! And not to leave out the fact that you kept going on this project even when its been like 1yr in 5months it really tells me that you are probably very motivated on this project!
It runs cooler with the lid on, and that makes sense, as the air is going throughout the tin and not going straight out the top. Don't know about the temps when it runs for a while, but a great series none the less!
Really enjoyed both parts and looking forward to an update. I have a very similar board from another HP laptop and I plan on using part of the shielding behind the board to fix it to a box or tray and you’ve showed me a really nice solution.
Btw, you should get a WiFi card with 2 antenna ports to support 5GHz WiFi. They shouldn't be too expensive in the correct form factor, although HP's BIOS might prevent use of it.
Great video and thanks for the update Just a few suggestions if it helps. Furniture pads underneath and holes for intake. I would of used antistatic Kapton tape or even line your tin with electrical tape, instead of standoffs especially on smaller parts. Maybe some short flat extensions could help with ports. Maybe small drill holes and filter for exhaust rather than cutting that big slot. Loving your videos
frokfdrk, you should cut some slits in the opposite side of the tin of where the exhaust is so that the tin actually has an intake. it's going to only pull in air from the ports otherwise, which isn't something you really want. also, for the Ethernet. you should still be able to cut into the top of the tin and still br able close it. you aren't gonna cut that much out it to fit, right? so why not? It's just gonna take some careful effort on your part. ALSO ALSO, good luck!
About the WiFi, a plastic area on the case would most likely solve the problem. If you look on many metal devices like phones and especially macs, there's usually a plastic area for the antenna.
28:57 I had same problem, and I have never found solution, cuse I need to press fn+f1 keys on LAPTOP keyboard to enable wifi. Only way that I think I can do that is to find connectoions for fn key and f1 on keyboard connector and wire button to the pads of the connector on laptop mobo (laptop keyboard is broken) edit: oh you got lucky, and just needed a drivers :)
heyy i have an idea! try making a cutout for more cooling like the bottom of most laptops and also put the antenna like most phones for example the samsung galaxy J5 2017 it has it on the top and bottom and also acts as a design
Idea for next time. Use a permanent marker, on the metal edge of each port wet and fresh marker press the board and ports into the inside wall, now you have mark outs, cut from inside perfect fit.
your going to need some place for fresh air to come in - so the extra hole where the Ethernet 'would have been' might be ok for this. - otherwise you deal with not getting enough cool air to the fan, to keep the CPU/GPU cooled off. It will pull air from any gaps it can find, but less restrictive = easier to cool. as for the wifi - you might be able to make your own antennae and use a thin layer of hot glue/super clear adhesive on top/outside of the case to protect it - as antennaes aren't really high-tech or anything, even just a coil of copper wire can boost signal strength. Now diameter of solid core wire, would matter, and you probably want it to look nice, so 'inlay' the wire as part of the cookie-tin art patterns would be pretty nice looking, and then it just goes into the tin and plugs in normally. I am sure you can find some videos on antennae to help that. The imagined idea is to like 'copper trim' the tin- to make it look even fancier, with a longer 'inside' connection to the wifi antennae so when you remove the tin lid - you have enough extra wiring to not pull on the connection, but detach it from the wifi module without breaking any wiring.
Companies were putting display port on computers because it was cheaper. They didn't have to go through the certifications of HDMI and all that bullshit.
You can enable it in the Pro version of Windows (you can do it on home with some workarounds) and on a local network you just need the PC name and password in the remote connect app
Hi, Personally i would have use wood as it works easier and i would only use cheap hand tools But your idea was good. The tin is to thin, i know you wanted it light but it it to hard to work with The ports, i would have cut cut one large slot rather than cater for every port as it is to hard. When doing square cuts - try drilling each corner with a small drill bit eg 1/8th or 3mm , then draw a straight line with each corner hole and you can now cut out the square ( with nice rounded corners ) I might have not paid attention with the stand offs but i heard you say solder - but i would have used a felt pin, marked text holes in the tin base, then again stilled a small 1/16 - 1/18th ( 2 to 3mm ) , then just used a screw upside down on the bottom to secure the riser , and then another screw from on top of the mother board into the riser. Many years ago a damaged a 386/486 by using a uninsulated riser the base of the mother board had a tracer near the stand off and it shorted out - a spark and death - now i use oversided fiber washers on top of the riser between then base of the mother board The other option is not to use standard PC metal risers but generic plastic risers and self tapping screws Re - the wifi , drill a small hole and mount a external antennae Pretty cool overall - i have a dell laptop with damaged screen done to one of the hinges going stiff and after 2 years of hard to move the screen eventually cracked - the screen went in the bin but i retained the cover , it is now just a clamshell , and that laptop is now running linux mint and plug into a normal monitor - why ?? because i had paid for windows and office, and i bought a similar model , windows done a recalc and continued to work. Office was a bit more difficult , i swaped the mother board between the 2 machines the $30 replacement laptop was much cheaper than the @ $250 office 2016 licence i could have potentially lost
I did basically the same thing in a notebook a couple years back. Oddly enough with the same motherboard. Shame that the A9 was such a miserable CPU experience
ummm......good job ,?.... my guy. stick with it. never stop doing things that no one else is doing. one day your gonna make something amazing. its not exactly a bad idea.... but in all honesty its not exactly a great idea. but your doing it, thats the important part. your not lazy your doing your due dilligence. most of the sheepel wouldnt even try this. so cheers mate.
I just want to let you know you are possibly my favorite tech channel on youtube and the most underrated one, hope you get popular in the future

DisplayPort is the PC standard that is royalty free. Many new monitors don't even have HDMI, but DP.
Honestly I've seen more new monitors with USBC than anything, I've really only seen DP on the back of computers and even then usually just converted into hdmi externally

"itty bitty tiny desktop" my dell optiplex 3060 mini which can fit in the palm of my hand that I use as a Minecraft server:
WOW! I was watching part 1 yesterday and it got me thinking when you gonna upload part 2 🎉
It runs cooler with the lid on, and that makes sense, as the air is going throughout the tin and not going straight out the top. Don't know about the temps when it runs for a while, but a great series none the less!
The cookie tin pc is the best craft I have ever seen!!! W frokfrdk!!!
Thanks for the heart :)
man I found your channel 2 days ago, i’ve binged all your videos, they’re AMAZING! I hope you get 100k subs soon!
the quality of your videos are insane. You deserve more views
"laides and gentleman, this is paper"
my favorite line in the entire video
Really enjoyed both parts and looking forward to an update. I have a very similar board from another HP laptop and I plan on using part of the shielding behind the board to fix it to a box or tray and you’ve showed me a really nice solution.
I stumbled upon your channel, and I'm glad I did. I really like your editing style! also the ideas are really cool!
this is a really cool project and i would like to stay till the end, keep it up
i love your videos, hope you get to 10k soon!
Now you can say "This PC is cooked. It is done."
I watched the first part yesterday, perfect timing
i remember i tried to turn an old dell vostro laptop into an all in one, but i mustve screwed up at some point because it doesnt work
Hope that part 3is sooner!
Btw, you should get a WiFi card with 2 antenna ports to support 5GHz WiFi. They shouldn't be too expensive in the correct form factor, although HP's BIOS might prevent use of it.

I was waiting long for the next part.
yay my favourite youtuber uploaded
Imagine going to your grandmas house, and seeing an cookie tin, and you open it and see.... an desktop.
finally a part 2
About the WiFi, a plastic area on the case would most likely solve the problem. If you look on many metal devices like phones and especially macs, there's usually a plastic area for the antenna.
if its made for shoving it somewhere and remote connecting into it you could use it as a server!
Yeah pretty much
You might be able to use some of the vertical space for a battery. Disassemble the old one, see what you can do.
Great Video !
you should add an lcd screen to the tins lid and add a mini keyboard on top of the tin computer
I have a few of these we can't throw it away because grandfather made it things.
Yup! I found my new fun tech TH-camr.
Yippee, finally!
17:32 why does the machine sound depressed

how tf u have only 8.7k?????? super underrated
VERY UNDERRATED
bro took this website uses cookies to another level
drill a hole for an sma connector, and put an external antenna on, you can get pigtail sma connectors that will work on the wifi card
heyy i have an idea! try making a cutout for more cooling like the bottom of most laptops and also put the antenna like most phones for example the samsung galaxy J5 2017 it has it on the top and bottom and also acts as a design

I'm sorry it's off point but GOD GNOCCHI IS SO FUCKING ADORABLE
DisplayPort is better in every way but these days HDMI is more widespread and good enough.

0:00 Waaaaaaiiit?
This sounds familiar.
Do you know DarkViperAU??
Why you dont 3d print a faceplate for the ports ?
FYI, It’s called a Flex cable bot a ribbon cable.
you should've put the power button and adapter on the back
Companies were putting display port on computers because it was cheaper. They didn't have to go through the certifications of HDMI and all that bullshit.
How do you remote control a a pc or a laptop
Idiot
You can enable it in the Pro version of Windows (you can do it on home with some workarounds) and on a local network you just need the PC name and password in the remote connect app
@@frokfrdk thank you
@@frokfrdk I'm mean 💀💀 cause duolingo been roasting me the whole morning
NEW FROKFRDK NO WAY
26:27 should have turned it into even more of a mac mini
21:52 you shouldve made it loud, have high contrast and look 144p
I was wathing that film from 2022 and i got of fullscreen my top right a film with the buisciut box 4 h ago

The other option is not to use standard PC metal risers but generic plastic risers and self tapping screws
Re - the wifi , drill a small hole and mount a external antennae
Pretty cool overall - i have a dell laptop with damaged screen done to one of the hinges going stiff and after 2 years of hard to move the screen eventually cracked - the screen went in the bin but i retained the cover , it is now just a clamshell , and that laptop is now running linux mint and plug into a normal monitor - why ?? because i had paid for windows and office, and i bought a similar model , windows done a recalc and continued to work.
Office was a bit more difficult , i swaped the mother board between the 2 machines
the $30 replacement laptop was much cheaper than the @ $250 office 2016 licence i could have potentially lost
Probably would have been better to put Mac mini antenna in the cooker box
see you in 200+ days!
My question is, why not just put the ssd ontop of the mobo? Using foam so it doesnt affect the mobo
Have you seen the positioning of it later in the video? It's literally perfect
Nice dude
YOOOOOOOO FINALY P2 !!!!!!
I just finished watching part 1 lol
I did basically the same thing in a notebook a couple years back. Oddly enough with the same motherboard. Shame that the A9 was such a miserable CPU experience

You're cat is so cute!
Real guestion is... Can Cookie Tin PC run Crysis?
Cookie tins are wasted on cookies.
could you add a disk drive?
Too big
@@frokfrdk now looking at how much space is left, i agree
The tablet vid and this are blowing up
Använd en gammal radio antenn som du kopplar till wifi o fäll upp som en gammal radio från kakburken

That's why I got standoffs for it shown in the video
