From cyberpunk to steampunk.
I was going to comment that! 🧐
Your channel is awesome! I love the variety of projects you create and hope that you continue well into the future. Your imagination and authenticity makes your content a joy to watch and I am consistently impressed with your ingenuity and design of your creations.
Thank you so much!
Huge fan of these videos, can’t wait to see the next project
I wouldn't call myself a fan of steampunk,
but I will say it's the healthiest way to prepare punk.
I think you have come a long way in art and design here. I can't quite judge your engineering because you are the professional, but compared to a lot of your past designs, visual wise, this one has turned out the best so far. Elegant and beautiful.
The most impressive aspects are the parts you added onto the original radio. You mixed and blended the style very well here, keeping both the classic look while adding a retro-futuristic touch to it
@@rRhyan Thank you!
When the dual-screen PC video went viral I had to recognize "wow... video performance is super tied to how cool the thumbnail looks, I better up my aesthetic game" ... So I really tried to go all-out here. And I'm really happy with how it looks in my living room setup, fits in well and looks nice with my speakers and plants.
As for the engineering: It's crap. Lol. Even worse airflow than the laptop was..... but it's just good enough to not throttle during gaming so I'll take it.
@@CarterHurd Sometimes you win with the algorithm, sometimes you don't. I think because it looks so impractical/practical (yes both) it's easy to get people to click on to watch it. The title as well, "I used this as my PC for a month" is what a lot of popular channels are doing as well which seems to generate interest.
I've enjoyed watching all your hacky projects not just that one though, so I think if people genuinely like the content they should hang around.
Cool stuff you're doing, definitely inspiring me to buy a 3d printer and be more creative instead of just being a mindless consoomer.
I've been searching high and low for inspiration for a build and set ups that don't look like an arcade (they're great, but there's a time and a place and it isn't any time I have my eyes open in my apartment). Loved the look of this. I'd love to check out that hoarding situation you stumbled upon.. sounds like a gold mine. Enjoying your vids, thanks!
What a great idea! Imagine taking an old TV and building a PC inside it. There were some pretty cool wood cases back in the day.
yeah but the monitor would look wrong in side the crt area, huge bezels
personally liked the aesthetics of the cyberdeck more, but this is pretty dope!
Fascinating project. Really enjoy how imaginative and creative your projects are.
😢I'll miss that Cyberdeck build you created, Carter, but good job on creating something new again...!
Incredible art build, good job
wow! I don't understand how this channel don't have 1mill subs
being a collector of valve/tube radio's watching that radio be demolished hurt me in multiple ways. Although the plasma globe was a pretty cool addition to the pc.
Saw your post on the r/ssfpc subreddit and immediately came to check the video out. Great build! Looking forward to your future projects!
That leather is such a great touch 👌
It needs a vintage cased web camera, to balance out the top of the computer, next to the microphone, if you attach both to the top.
_Thanks! Very interesting!_
Absolutely love the aesthetic you were able to achieve, and the artistry of taking something so old and repurposing it!
that motorola logo is sick looking
This looks awesome! Been subbed for a while and actually saw your build on r/sffpc this morning before I even saw your video!
Wow! You are super talented!
Fantastic work :)
This is a piece of art my dude 🤘🏼👏🏼
Awesome build! :)
thanks! best one yet imo
Death of a Deck, long live the Deck!
Nice work
Nice work! Very interesting..
Came here from gameranx
Love the build. I have been thinking about something similar, but using a Larkbox Pro mini.
REALLY COOL VIDS HOPE YOU BLOW UP
Love it bro
Gameranx featured your build in their November 2022 review video. Very aesthetically appealing case mod. Nice job, and great attention to detail.
I love these obscure pc build projects. Just a tip, put an outro screen at the end of the video so the cards don't cover most of the screen at the end.
Ok. I can also move them around and shorted the length that the cards are up, might do that
Keep on going bro, I’ll say your channels gonna blow up within the next 6-10 videos .
Great work .
This is sick! If that guy has more, I'd love to try and do something similar except a more micro ATX system instead of a laptop. If you can grab one, I'll buy it off ya lol
nice work man
Thanks!
This looks really great but I would've absolutely loved if you incorporated the actual vacuum tubes instead. I just love that old fallout vibe they give off.
Would it be possible to print some metal trimming for the window on the left? I think that would be the icing on the cake.
Nice!
In 2014 I cut down the overall height of a floor standing 1939 Philco radio cabinet, and built a PC case out if it that would take a full ATX motherboard, as well as eight 3.5 inch hard drives. The motherboard is on a hinged door, similar to the old Blue and White Powermac G3 Apple made in the late 90s, early 2000s
Last year, I began building a SFF PC case from the leftover parts from that old radio cabinet that I had cut out to reduce the original's size. I plan to design a front and rear grill pattern, and have it cut out of brass plate with a water jet, to serve as the front and rear grill. The SFF case also just barely fits a full ATX motherboard. The bottom I/O panel was taken from a 2u server chassis, and has a standard I/O shield cutout with seven _low profile_ PCIe slots. From the front, the case has kinda the shape of an UNO reverse symbol 🔃 with the I/O coming out the bottom, and the GPU air intake on top (a repurposed rectangular brass floor drain grill). The three slot GPU bracket and SFX PSU are mounted to the rear grill. The whole unit hinges open, with the motherboard on the swing down drawer, so when Open, the bottom I/O faces sideways, for easier access.
Both cases were made from the same radio cabinet, and the original cabinet was completely gutted when I got it, including having no radio face. I found a set of brass postbox doors at an antiques shop. They had a mild art deco design that I liked, and the two larger ones perfectly covered the hole in the front of the radio cabinet. I mounted a nixie clock behind the glass windows that would normally hold a Postbox or room number. On the new SFF case build, I plan to have the case door release and a smaller nixie clock behind it.
The 2014 case looks like a shorter version of the original 1939 Philco radio. There is a false back behind the speaker grill bars, which serves as dual air intakes. Each intake is a 2x2 grid of 120mm fans, for a total of 8 intake fans, blowing through a pair of 10x10 inch air filters. A pair of internal circulation fans makes sure air blows up into the top of the case, where the hard drives are, and the intakes feed directly into the PCIe slot area, and feed up to the CPU, which is cooled by a Noctua NH-14D. There are a pair of 120mm and one 140mm exhaust fans at the upper back of the case, near the CPU, to exhaust hot air. These fans are unrestricted, unlike the 8 intakes, which are pushing against filters.
The 2021 case is made from leftover wood, and wont look so much like a radio, as much as just a period piece... The deign for the legs actually is stolen from a lamp. The half that is fixed will stand on buttressed legs mounted to the side. It will be supported at the front by a pair of buttressed legs forming an "A" shaped leg with the smaller brass postbox door in the "hole" of the "A". For stability, the rear grill will likely have a single small leg to support it's corner. The CPU of the small case is cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 mounted in a 90° orientation (blowing toward the PCIe slots). Since the case can only handle half height cards, this airflow direction will pull air in directly from the front grill, and pass It directly toward the SFX PSU and over the slots. The GPU is connected by a riser cable to it's bracket. Both CPU and GPU are able to pull in fresh cool air (from the front grill and top grill, respectively), and blow everything out the rear grill.
I think this could be way better without cutting original box.
On the left side where Motorola logo was with that cloth(speaker), you could just put new cloth that act as dustfilter with modern pc fan for intake (it will not be visible), and on the right side have fancy exhaust. This would create at least "some" air movement and could even work with more powerful parts.
Rly Cool
Can’t wait
With a smaller board that would be a sick home server
I'm wondering if you can make a gaming PC out of those type writer keyboard. Kinda like your cyberpunk dual display one but better and badasser
This is giving me BioShock vibes
Your content is so cooll
What kind of stuff did you have to learn so you could build your projects?
I'm in my first year in college learning IT, but this kind of projects always interested me.
I just start without a plan and Google things as I go along whenever I don’t know something
Aww I thought the screen is inside the PC!
Love the old radios. Are you going to do a leather project soon?
No specific leather project, I'll just work it into my existing stuff when I can.
Noice!
"Reverse the polarity!" Who are you? Doctor Who.
I would pay for something like this
Feel free to email me an offer
Okay let's go
That variable capacitor, tho.
2 hours left!
Out of curiosity, are you still able to get into the BIOS without the laptop's original display? I'm doing a similar project with the exact same laptop and I'm concerned about losing access to the BIOS if I remove the display altogether.
This is a great question, and unfortunately I no longer have this project around to test it for you
@@CarterHurd No problem. Thanks for the response.
top g
can i make one too ? if you have added old speakers layout it would look great
Go for it!
Look like from the 1800’s
I came from Gameranx, I stayed because it was interesting .
God gave you 10 fingers for redundancy. Mankind figured out how to put back them on.
Follow your dreams. This is 202me.
Also a Instagram account might help as it will keep the audience connected with the projects.
There are a lot of space inside, normal pc would fit. I would put stereo speakers inside
An ITX build could fit, yeah. It's a 14L build, smaller than an ITX case like the Cooler Master NR200P is 18L but larger than some of the ultra-tiny SFF builds like the DanCase.
like your stuff. do you take commissions?
Probably not but feel free to email me
Motorola 47B11, Build in the late 40s, Broadcast wave AM only receiver, ment to run on batteries not ac, a 90v B+ battery and a 1.5v filament battery, filament current is .25 amps and B+ 12ma, and a 3 ohm speaker. Weird little radio. Does the ebay listing include the speaker?
Nope, not the speaker, just the stuff I have photos of in the listing
but thanks for all this info, no one else has been able to identify it
@@CarterHurd it was difficult to make out the sticker hiding behind the plasma globe at 3:02 because theres no clear shot of it.. I actually ended up finding the schematic as well lol.
In other words, if I win that auction, I have every intention to try and bring it back to life..
@@danielauen7790 got it. Yeah sorry, I don't have the speaker any more. But if you revive it totally email a photo to me! that'd be cool.
It's kinda terrible and i love it.
ps. lemme get those old tubes off ya. I'll trade ya another plasma ball for em.
Check the ebay listing in description
Kinda slay
Not fully, just kinda slay? dang.
@Carter Hurd you've got an impersonator
Ya?
@@CarterHurd yeah was one of those spam bots saying "you've won some bs" hey on another note we are having another virtcon at the cybderdeck cafe and would love it if you joined us again. dm me over at the cafe discord.
Who else is here because of the Gameranx shoutout?
Why not buy new/secondhand board broo?? I like old u Cyber laptop 😅
Haha u noticed
Not bad, but the fan placement and presentation is janky. The Plasma light looks out of place, should have went with an LED Edison bulb.
thanks for the feedback
Молодец. Все сломал.
at this moment watching him is hurting me cuz i have a very low end laptop and him doingthis to a high end laptop is just dam
(no hate)
Old wood looked better tbh
Might have looked better, but it felt really gross and flaky

NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU ABSOLUTE FIEND. IS THIS WHY YOU DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY OFFER?!?! I AM DISTRAUGHT. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I finished this video and that's kind of cool but I'll still never forgive you.
I’m re-making the deck don’t worry
It is ugly. The vintage radio was better.
The vintage radio was worth $25 at an estate sale and didn’t get any use, while this is something I’ve been using every single day.
