HOLY CRAP! This is AWESOME!!!! This is like an ultra souped up Raspberry Pi 400 which is something that is already so awesome, your project makes the membrane keyboard into mechanical and gives a much more powerful processor with Thunderbolt 4 so it can even have a dGPU! This is so friggin' awesome because it's such a cool and tiny desktop replacement, the only thing I'm still a bit worried about is cooling because the heatsink and fan were designed for a different airflow situation but you have done a really good job of managing that!
I imagine the airflow is fine though? It sucks in the air from the bottom and blows it out the back - just like it would in its original laptop frame. The feet are even taller in this case.
I've been attempting a custom PC with integrated screen using a NUC, but the challenge is getting it as thin as possible without messing up the cooling. These Framework boards look like the very slim profile that I'm looking for.
This is a seriously cool project. Integrating a thunderbolt dock would really bring the connectivity to the next level. I love the idea of making new form factors using the modularity of Framework's platform.
This is incredible. Hope someone can mass produce something like this in the next few years. Would be an awesome little home server deck when paired with an old display.
The raspberry pi 400 is pretty similar though a lot cheaper and less powerful. It's a fun little thing. Oh also the keyboard is a lot worse, after all it's only 70 bucks for the whole thing, keyboard and computer. Lots of people spend that or much more on just a keyboard alone.
@@CutoutClipsthe best thing about this is that as the framework laptops get outdated, we'd see more kickass products and projects like this. I love it!
This is a dope project. I can see people just ordering main boards to attempt making something like this. Basically a raspberry pi keyboard case on steroids
I would recommend trying to get an output/input to the eDP, keyboard, and battery connectors on the Framework motherboard. Save the expansion slots for other things.
I am honestly blow away by this project! It's wonderful to see how creative you're getting with this rather unique piece of tech I'd love to see you do more with this idea, and make a beautiful build with the framework board. Looking forward to it
This is SUCH GREAT WORK, man!!! Awesome job! Continue to refine this design, is my suggestion. I know there are so many of us that want to see Framework continue to grow and "succeed". And so many of us are into ideas such as Right To Repair, Modularity (word check) and even environmental benefits from being able to recycle hardware through reuse/repurpose. I know I would LOVE the ability to upgrade my Framework laptop later on to a higher level processor and it would be AWESOME to have the ability to be able to leverage your final plans (even "purchase" the design/pre-manufactered pieces) through you directly (for those of us not as skilled with 3-D printing and CAD Design) to be able to give my main board second life as an extra desktop, hmpc or even local server! So glad I came across your channel, man, and just love the work you do and the content you create! Keep it up!
Suggestion: Make it a wedge shape so that the front acts as an integrated palmrest and you can add 1 or 2 small fans on the rear to keep everything cool.
Comments are turned off on the follow-up video so I'll comment here: Good. Framework handled the problem perfectly and good on ya for responding as you did. It's so nice when everyone acts in good faith.
I really like this form factor. The Commodore 64 always felt so slick and neat on a desk and it really fit on the desk top. Please continue developing this! I would love to buy a modern PC in this style.
You could totally put the batteries in front of the keyboard and use it as a palm rest (just like 99.9% of laptops do anyways). Your keyboard is reeeeally high, making it difficult to use unless your wrists are always in the air. A palm rest is definitely needed, and putting batteries underneath it would make a lot of sense. plus, you can put some foam pad on top of the battery compartment, making for an even more comfortable device.
really nice project. 60% is probably my favorite form factor aesthetics wise, but in this case I think the project could really use a bigger keyboard layout so you have more room for expansion and stuff
I really love you for doing this project. A couple pointers though: • A keyboard this high will need a palm rest so maybe that could be used to make space for a battery (but still not sure if all that height is ergonomic) • Coming from a keyboard enthusiast, it might be worth it to make the keyboard and usable as nice as possible: - 65% layout would be much easier to use than 60% - Use lubed linear or tactile switches of your choice - Gasket mount the PCB in the case - Design the case to sound as best as possible (but this might be too much for you to get into)
Follow-up - I reflashed the keyboard to try to get the RGB functions to work and it bricked. You get what you pay for. Going forward I'll be ordering this PCB drop.com/buy/dz60-dz60rgb-type-c-60-pcb
16:37 Why not both? The palm rest would also give you the ability to integrate the battery from the laptop as a UPS along with a cheaper USB3 hub to split the connection you use for the keyboard to power a couple of 5V Noctua fans to keep things cool.
Dude, I gave you a lot of crap on the Framework forums for your discontent about the mainboard and off battery performance, but I have to say that this is incredibly cool! Great work!
And he deserved every bit of your disdain for so egregiously and publicly flaming Framework for what was probably an accidental oversight that they promptly corrected! Taking down the offensive video was appropriate. Hiding the follow up video - in which he rationalized his bad behavior - and not allowing comments on it was not! So I'll comment here! I have a lot more respect for Framework than I do for the creator of Elevated Systems! If he weren't so knowledgeable I'd unsubscribe from his channel. Still might - I'm thinking about it. I don't really need that kind of misplaced vitriol in my life. At least he apologized - sort of...
Since the big companies haven't thought of such a thing, it seems gorgeous to me, a good idea, even a very good one. Honestly it deserves an A+, and, NO, by no means make it bigger, so it is perfect, small, compact, reliable
I absolutely love the keyboard is the computer designs. With smaller computing components becoming more powerful (to the point of being more practical), I hope to see more of these in the future. There was definitely something to be said for the old C64/Atari etc. design!
i just ordered the framework laptop for a Christmas present for my mom, but everything I see regarding the laptop is making me want to buy one for myself
This is an even better argument for the openness and modularity of Framework than simple upgradability. Other upgradable laptops exist with decent form-factors. The fact Framework's board comes out so tidily, and is meant to be worked on, appears to have made this project's success so much more attainable. And in theory you could drop in a newer Framework mainboard some years down the line if they stay in business.
Love your channel! Dude this is amazing! You’re the reason I ordered a framework laptop. I say use a unicomp keyboard to give you some extra room and go for broke. I want to see where this goes.
Nice job! Looking forward to seeing what else you do with your Framework. This is a great video showing what we could be doing with e-waste if it was designed better to be reused instead of thrown out. Also, kudos to Framework for making their mainboard reusable like this.
This made me realize you could order just enough parts from the framework marketplace, minus the entire top lid and screen, to build roughly the same concept but in a thinner package with a touchpad. You can even leave out the battery and speakers, basically a very portable pc but not quite a laptop.
I love this project. Please continue. If I where you, I do all the mods you talk about in the end. I would love something like a Amiga 600 or Amiga 1200 looking case.
I - for one - love the idea of you deepening the case and moving the keyboard forward so there's a palm rest on it. While it doesn't look like it's a whole lot taller than a traditional keyboard case, I think that'd still be a beneficial thing to put in!
Seriously, these DIY videos are EXCELLENT stuff. Hope you get tons of views. Maybe you should namedrop "Framework Mod" in the title just to boos viewership.
I always thought the battery could be used as a palm rest. Epoxy a wooden veneer on all but the top and then add whatever thickness of wood is needed for optimal wrist height.
Thank you for creating awesome content. I am an avid TH-cam User and your channel is the first one post 2015 that gave me the good 'ol TH-cam 2011-isch vibes. Like creating content for its own sake and not solely for the algorithm.
This is a great project for a clean setup. Especially if you can find a monitor that can deliver at least 60W power delivery and you use a wireless mouse. One cable from keyboard to monitor and one cable from monitor to outlet (and ethernet if needed). Maybe look into thermal pads to conduct heat into the aluminum chassis. The keyboard is a little tall to be ergonomic, so I'd either go with low-profile switches and keycaps or go with your palm rest idea. Underglow does not serve a functional purpose, so that might be something you can remove to simplify the chassis if you want.
This was a phenomenal video! Loved the idea! Looking forward to some follow ups on this. A few people have already mentioned using eDP and keyboard ports from the motherboard, I'd also be interested in thermals and stability, especially with the impact of the motherboard's heat hitting the keyboard's PCB. Cheers!
Definitely a cool build!! I've been waiting and dreaming about a company doing exactly what framework is. After seeing the builds made with raspberrypis I've wanted to see something as powerful as this motherboard built into a keyboard like this.
This looks like a great travel desktop. Something that you can take with a mouse and a hdmi cable and do things like have a computer in a hotel or travel between worksites that always have extra monitors
Instead of on top or on the bottom of the mainboard, what about a wrist rest with a battery inside? The keyboard PC looks high enough now to use with a wrist rest
I love this project. I personally would move the ports to the rear at least for power and display. I would love to see a full machined version of the case.
This is brilliant! I’m a total noob and have only now really began my journey down the computer technology path but this is definitely a build I’ll take on. My goal will be a wireless build, repurpose something for the display connectivity and go full size with trackpad integration to literally create the ultimate retro framing/HTPC. It won’t be anything cutting edge as far as graphical performance but I’ll definitely focus on the wireless freedom for everyday use in home. The temperature and materials should prove a challenge but I’m confident I’ll figure something out. Might steal from the automotive and invest in gold foil to solve the issue since I can’t think of anything else. Thanks again for this! 🥳🙏🏼
all the ideas 😍 I can't wait to see it working the way you envisioned outside of the prototype. I can't find any other videos to anything similar to this
I really like the passion/enthusiasms vibe the video gives! PS: I suggest a more significant change: tilted keyboard housing, improved RGB (of course..), usb hub and maybe even an addition fan.

Great Video, thank you! I would love to see what you come up with in terms of substantial improvements (as opposed to keeping the board as similar as possible). But I'd love it either way. Keep it up :)
As soon as i saw the Framework laptop this is what I wanted to do. 2 things I have thought about though are using wireless display and some how getting dual external battery packs connected to allow hot replacement.
Absolute genius mate, just think framework could create a whole product family around this. I've been toying with getting a dell optiplex uff and this would beat it hands down star idea
If you build a slightly deeper case, you can move the motherboard back and the keyboard forward so you can have a nice slant on the keyboard, in the vane of the Amiga 500. You could then connect the 4 USBC ports to an internal rear facing module bay so the cables come out of the back. Just some ideas.
The final Machined Aluminum version is done! th-cam.com/video/ewVp96JN0nQ/w-d-xo.html
All the diy prjects that you can do with the pieces is one of the best things of the framework company. I cant wait for more proyects!
Yes please, a proper, machined version would be sick!
Passive cooling is super underrated. A solid aluminium or steel shell would be great for this build
@@gormauslander unfortunately that would make your fingers part of the heatsink
@@Megatog615 a small price to pay for salvation

Honestly if you did it right you could do much better airflow with this than a laptop will ever have. Especially if weight isn't as much of an issue.
With a metal case it could also act as a huge heatsink.
I imagine the airflow is fine though? It sucks in the air from the bottom and blows it out the back - just like it would in its original laptop frame. The feet are even taller in this case.

I would LOVE to see a machined version of this. Super cool idea, awesome to see all the applications of the framework laptop.
This is AWESOME
Thanks, and the fact that it caught the attention of a creator I watch regularly and respect is AWSOME!
definitely interested in seeing further development and the aluminum version
yes aluminum version
The aluminium could be used as a massive heatsink too!

man just morphed
This is a seriously cool project. Integrating a thunderbolt dock would really bring the connectivity to the next level. I love the idea of making new form factors using the modularity of Framework's platform.

Are there some connector cables or converters available for that already?
“That’s just a keyboard!”
“No, it’s a full fledged AIO!”
Would be cool if the 4 expansion ports could all be routed to the back
They could with a 90-90 usb cable probably
well since the expansions are usb type c extensions it should 100% be possible to rig it up so they feed to the rear
I liked the hub + palm rest idea a lot,
RaspberryPi 400 on steroids
Super steriods
