- In this video I'll be showing you how to build a beautiful desktop PC out of an old damaged laptop for peanuts (aka, not much money). This is a great way to re-use old hardware for cheap, and it's a fantastic creative outlet. I used veneer to make it look like an art piece, but I reckon that leather would look nice if done right, as would vinyl wrap. Go wild guys!

Judging by the comments it looks like the design divides opinion, which is great! The best bit about this is that you can design it to your own personal tastes. My tastes lean more towards rustic wood and industrial design, rather than RGB and 'gamer lines', but each to their own! Judging by the huge number of likes this video is getting though it seems that the vast majority of viewers like it, which is lovely. :) Thanks guys!
By the way, I may do an FAQ video soon, so tweet me any questions (not project questions... think more general) you want to ask me and I may answer them in the video.
Regarding the questions asked on this video:
*What are the temps like with the small fan?*
As the fan is small and spins slowly, the airflow is very low, but as the heatsink is so large it keeps it cool enough for a media PC. In general use it is unlikely to ever get over 40c.
*This isn't a cheap project, why advertise it as such?*
Because it's just that - cheap. The laptop cost me £12, and I salvaged a few bits to upgrade it a bit (like the SSD, which is an older model now so isn't worth much). The other costs went on the aluminium, MDF, etc, so I'd estimate the cost of the build itself is about £25 max. Compare that to even a low spec NUC PC, and it's tremendous value... not to mention it's actually significantly more powerful than a cheap NUC or PC Stick!
*Why not just connect the laptop to the TV?*
Boring. Ugly. Tasteless. Besides, I'm literally in the business of making cool projects for everyone to watch.
Cheerio for now!
DIY Perks It's not a great idea to build PC with wooden case because wood is a very bad conductor of heat and electricity. Your processor is running with a fanless heatsink and it's inside a wooden case that will also increase the temperature and its a risk to the hardware parts and performance will also decrease in time!
bro why dont you reply???
Debojit Acharjee he has a fan in there, no worries.
Congratulation on making this. As I can see it took a lot of time and effort. In my case I just prefer to buy something of the store that looks good. But yeah Indeed this one is truly uniek.
You know there is a much much easier way to do this, plug the damn laptop into your tv and done.... Why do all the work to make it more bulky and honestly a bit less attractive in an entertainment center.
This guy has better designs than 99% of company made products
Yes, cause ‘this guy’ only makes one piece of what he’s making and gets a whole lot of profit from TH-cam whereas ‘companies’ mass produce their products and still need to make a profit, so they cut corners in some areas and cost cutting in some others so they don’t go bankrupt. If you have an infinite deep wallet you can still get some pretty good designs.
@@bamboostick5 Eh, nowadays, companies like Fractal Design provide PC hardware that looks much more modern, using different paintjobs and materials on Components and Computer Cases, even Wood, Leather and Fabric.

but then he has to make it IMPOSSIBLE to repair,
Apple already does that so they might get mad letting their secret out.
Guys remember to remove the battery from your laptop when starting to disassemble it. And before you remove the keyboard near the panel there's a wire that attaches the keyboard to the motherboard inside the laptop so carefully lift the keyboard and then where the wire is connected open the cap of the plug then remove the wire. This way you can safely remove the keyboard without breaking anything.
I damaged the plastic holder piece holding in the keyboard cable cause I monkey style ripped the laptop top off.
I should really have seen a video, I'm an idiot.
I broke it😢

Boom! Pop Art Multimedia Center!
Charlie Kim That look wouldn‘t be the worst by a long shot. I can see the appeal very much. If you wanted to get that look and still have that design a bit more rugged, you could cut the cereal box carefully apart at the edges, glue it onto a MDF case and seal it with varnish. Now you have given me an idea!
That's actually not a bad idea. I would upgrade the cooling though and and a stronger base frame to it first.

Brilliant!
Minor aesthetic criticism:
You could clean up the top piece with a file or de-burring tool and run the brushed pattern down its length to create a more uniform aesthetic with the other aluminum panel. I think a veneered basal platen would look snazzy as well.
Quick note: You could also use a resistor to drop the voltage to the fan. For a low enough resistance, the heat if the resistor isn't much of a problem, and because the input voltage doesn't change (it uses PWM instead of analog), you don't have to worry about inconsistent voltage drop. What this would allow you to do is not only use the existing connector, but take advantage of the fact that the fan doesn't spin up unless necessary, and thus you can have TOTAL silence much of the time unless you are running somsething like P95.
This was a total joy to watch. Great work! I'm fond of the style you use. I always liked the idea of a computer appearing as an elegant piece of furniture rather than a plastic RGB "Gamer" mess. But of course I say this with exactly that kind of pc. I'll have to start picking up some woodworking tools and trying this stuff out!
Dude, your way of explaining is awesome plus I love how you show yourself running into problems and how to solve them.
I would really like to try this out on my old laptop but I don't have the electrical knowledge and confidence when attaching things specifically.
Maybe one day though. It's pretty dope to have something like that attached to your TV 👌
That's great, you did a really good job and made it into a beautiful piece that wouldn't look out of place in a lounge room as a media PC. You don't need to start with a laptop, any mid range PC will work just fine, but it's a great use of an otherwise useless piece of tech.
I wish I could send my laptop to this guy. It's literally being held together by duct tape and binder clips and I haven't been able to close it in years. I'm going to brainstorm some desktop ideas lol
Thank you SO much for this video guide!! I've been wracking my brain wondering how best to go about this exact concept. I simply knew it had to be possible and was even further motivated when I've had a few techy friends scoff at the idea as if impossible.... I have an incredibly reliable Asus laptop that recently the screen glass was shattered on... Despite its 6yr age it's heat sinks are incredible, the whole thing still performs to modern standards (though I chose to upgrade to SSD and will be doing a couple things like RAM increase and whatnot to even further it's longevity), and I'm honestly just not ready to scrap it and fork out another $1-2k to buy a new version when there's nothing wrong outside the screen damage. I initially considered "why not build a custom encasement?"; so seeing this was surreal. Truly grateful as you've now shown me I absolutely CAN keep my little gem going in a remarkably unique (and cost effective) way. I cannot thank you enough!!!! I'm beyond excited to get started!
How did it go?
This video is probably the video that got me into computer components and engineering back in 4th grade. Now I am in 10th
Seriously, you make some stunning things! Very inspiring and that is why I am sub'd and will continue to be. I wish you could have incorporated the batteries tho...
Yeah I know, but doesn't change the fact. The option would have been cool, eliminate extra wires and power consumption, plus adds another level of portability.
Obviously, I mean that kind of goes without saying. I am simply stating the fact that it would have been a cool extra feature. I am not belittling or throwing shade at all...just something I thought about that might have been interesting.
Isaac Kvasager Could you please explain how he could have added a graphics card to the *laptop*? You seem to be forgetting that, while in a new case, it's still a laptop at heart.
Well, newer laptops with thunderbolt, and older laptops with ExpressCard slots can run external GPUs, however this requires the proper docking kit and usually a separate external power supply, which would make this build much larger.
Including the battery is useful also regardless of if it is always plugged in since it can basically act as a built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply, making sure the system can be safely shut down in the event of a power outage, and keeping it properly powered through any small power flickers.
That's the cleanest used laptop I have ever seen in my life :D
agreed
and i think he purposely broke the screen for this video
This was honestly freaking amazing, I wish I could make something as beautiful yet functional like that
The awesome thing is, you can.. You just need time, patience, power of will and uhh of course a bit of money
he didnt make anything functional. he made a box that hides a broken laptop
What? Nice attitude, Blueis.
A broken laptop that is fully functional? hmm don't know about that one mate
What? Thank you, Pingu. I agree.
Wow, great idea! I have an old dell laptop laying around. It has an intel core i5 and is fully working, but the keyboard is dead. I think I will turn it into a pc like this one, but I only have cardboard, so the case will have to be fully cardboard

re: your ad - if you use your phone for anything illegal, be careful using biometrics (fingerprint, etc) to lock your device. In some jurisdictions, you can be compelled by law to provide your biometrics to law enforcement to unlock it, whereas you usually cannot be compelled to provide a PIN or password. Just something to keep in mind.
dzScritches interesting. Also interesting, on the Galaxy S8, you can't use biometrics for the first unlock after a reboot, you're required to use your pin/pass/pattern.

New vid: turn a new desktop into an old laptop
17:10 For those wondering how the fan get it's air
15:17 on more information about the fan location
At first I was hesitant whether it has enough airflow. But then thought about an actual laptop and those are pretty restrictive to begin with so this is probably better than a laptop in terms of airflow
its also noteable that the i3 370 only has a 35w tdp
It's also passively cooled since the heatsink is out in the open.
its actively cooled...
I'm neutraly cooled
it´s a great design. Beautiful, and to see how you enjoyed the entire process make this video a real jewel. Thanks buddy. You´re great.
2:49 Flashbacks to my old pc, which worked 10 years straight. And even allowed me to play games. Very good laptop!
you should run the sandpaper on the longer piece of aluminum to give it a brushed look as well
Very nice DIY project,... thanks for the inspiration

Just amazing. Here I was looking in the description for a link to the case. Watched a lil bit longer and 🤦🏽♂️. Of course DYIPerks built it himself. Lol what was I thinking. Brilliant mate!

George Perakis yup extactly. Nah jk I liked and subscribed
George Perakis they don't have hunger of curiosity and enthusiasm brother
I didn't dislike it and I do contracting work. I think it's more on the look of it. It doesn't look that striking. Yet it seems rather nice I guess. If I'm bored I'll test that out. Yet I don't see myself actually wanting to build one. Especially if it end up looking like that. Yet it is indeed creative.
This is still easier to understand than liquid cooling rigs.
Starting to thermal throttle after 20 mins of prime95, passively cooled... For a media PC... Really isn't that bad. I like how you put a fan on it, but I'm sure it would be more then fine without it. It also would have great to see temps after the fan, it would be interesting to see
What, no temperature readout after adding a fan?!?
It's a HTPC case, so the less Need for Speed glitter, the better.

I am sure your mom thinks that makes you a very smart boy/girl. :)
yeah, that's one way to do it, the most pragmatic way. But the purpose of this video was to show you a way to not only still be able to make good use of the machine (which you can clearly do without modifications) but also create a nice case for it and probably improve the thermals (bigger heatsink, improved airflow)

@@PerfectPotion r/woooosh
rip thinkpad, you will be remembered
I would be neat to see this recreated with a Framework laptop.
Couple of thoughts from a friendly neighborhood nerd ;)
One, that case looks friggin beautiful... well done!
Two, that chipset needs a MUCH bigger heatsink, and thermal epoxy ("thermal glue" is epoxy) is never ever ever rated highly enough for that application -- you would have been better using a 40mm square 'sink of some reasonable height (or larger, which would be even better), for that, along with the same thermal paste you used for the CPU, or simply allowed the huge heatsink to cover the chipset.
Three, use better thermal paste! That stuff in the video is silicone based, which is the bottom of the barrel. Over a few years, it will bake itself solid. I have serviced Pentium 4 systems where the CPU was pulled out from the socket by the thermal paste and heatsink, because the manufacturer had used silicone paste and it had become ossified from the heat. Copper based paste is better, and silver based is better than that. You don't need Arctic Silver (although their ArctiClean bottle set and some coffee filters are perfect for cleaning the old 'goop' off) but the generic silver eBay stuff will do for anything better than an Atom (which can get away with copper, although if it's old enough to use an i945 chipset, you should use silver on the chipset -- that one is nasty hungry). If you replace all that silicone gunk with cheap silver stuff, your temps will drop 2-3 degrees C. If you want to be fancy and have money to burn, get Arctic Silver Ceramique -- which will probably drop temps 5-7 degrees C. But it's incredibly expensive for what it does.
Four, you can get 5v fans, which would have been better. At least use a 12v fan on seven volts (power it with twelve and a resistor, although you'll need math for that, or -- this works much better in desktops -- power it with the 12v positive lead and the 5v-side ground lead of a drive "Molex" connector (this usually works, but I offer no guarantees).
Last of all -- I actually LIKE fan noise, and you should, too -- at least a little. Noisy fans tell me when they're working -- and, consequently, when they've failed. For a media PC application, if you can only turn up the volume so loud, they even make 5v quiet fans that don't move as much air. When (and it is a case of WHEN) that fan in that computer fails, it's going to take the CPU and chipset with it -- if the chipset doesn't bake itself silly, first -- and man I do not envy the repair bill you'll be stuck with, even if it's just parts cost and you do the labor yourself...
Great tips. Everyone should read this before trying.
Wouldn't the repair bill just be $15 for another broken laptop, and a few hours making another video taking it apart?
I'm 99% sure Silicone paste was used on the original Xbox. I saw someone who had to take a hair dryer to the heatsink assembly to get it off, and then use freaking Goo Gone to clean up the old paste. Yikes.
@@mysticaxolotl8215 That doesn't make it good. Dell used silicone on their Pentium 4 desktops. I've never seen one where the paste wasn't cooked like a burnt egg, and I've never seen one where I could get the heatsink out without it pulling the CPU clear of a latched ZIF socket.
With apologies to Rerez elsewhere here on The Toobs -- "it's just bad!".
@@laserhawk64 I never said it was good, I was agreeing with you 8)
@@mysticaxolotl8215 Ah. My apologies for the misunderstanding. By the way, as it's been a few years since my original comment ;3 a bit of experience gained since -- the really cheap stuff on eBay is actually surprisingly decent... yeah, the stuff where they actually give you extra free syringes of it when you buy in quantity. No, I'm not joking, I use it myself.
The copper based stuff is good for something like an Atom Z3537f or an 83xx series... or the VIA hardware you find in cheap thin clients. For anything with a TDP above that, roughly, of a USB mug warmer though ;3 get the silver stuff. No, it''s nowhere near the caliber of brand name -- but it's dirt cheap and it quite well does the job. I do have to say, I still swear by ArctiClean and coffee filters for removal... I've tried isopropyl in the past, and maybe I was "doing it wrong" somehow, but I just never could get it to work. No idea.
I'm planning on building something like this, but combining it with the "Gaming on a Laptop using an External GPU", and make a nice little rig for cheap :) Already have an old laptop motherboard with an I7 2630qm just lying around, and just got a GTX 750ti for 60$ - coming along nicely so far :)
how's it doing now? Igot an old laptop with i5 3rd gen with a broken hard drive and I'm on my way to buying a GT730 ddr5 ver. 2 but I have no idea how to mount it to a laptop.
Any updates? Actually thinking about doing this with my older laptop, already modded it for the egpu but girlfriend wants a "gaming" computer(she won't be playing anything new to worry about) so was thinking of doing this exact thing with it.
Jose Constantin Laruscain GT730 is pretty shit when compared to todays integrated gpus and apus, also for i5 you could step it up to something like 1050 gtx
Cekpi7 i was looking at the 730 coz price wise it only about 20$ 2nd hand and 50$ brand new. 1050 are still overpriced coz of mining.
Jose Constantin Laruscain 1050 are too weak for mining so they are fairly cheap, if you still prefer used gpus there is ton of cheaper ones that perform good (gtx 760, r9 280, gtx 960 etc.)

Bro Your Skill Was God's Gift❤
the audio jack setup could have been done simply with a male-female audio cable set. the way you did it is a little bit too complicated for the average user.
Or just stream over bluetooth to an analog adapter at the other end. No cords.
I think he soldered it for better quality sound. Ive found that using those male-female extensions usually have a noticeable audio quality drop. Its rather easy to just solder the longer cable anyway and know its all going to sound as good as it was.
You shouldn't have any audio quality drop with a standard 3.5mm cable. if you do you bought a shit one, only thing that's ever happened is I've needed to use a ground loop isolator to remove noise the case and onboard audio themselves generate via dc/ac power feedback.
True, and its quite a shame you cant really find a good quality one that justifies the price(atleast where I am live), which is why I`de just solder a new high quality wire like he did ;). I do think tho that there are many ways to solve the same problem, depending on what your circumstances are and what knowledge and time you have available. I guess thats why people can comment on these threads, to help others learn of alternative ways of doing things.
if you really wanted quality audio for cheap, chinese 1 to 1 hardware clones of reputable $100-200 USB DACs can be found for 20-50$ range. this is quite typical of electronics these days, US companies source the parts from China and Taiwanese firms design nearly every current laptop in existence, they are the laptop ODMs for everyone from acer to dell, hp, lenovo, asus, etc. MSI is the only one who does it entirely themselves (but again, in china) as their own ODM, and generally costs a bit more for the same performance and same failure rates. You may see things say assembled in the USA, but you'll be hard pressed to find a PCB device that was entirely made in the USA these days. that's just a generic response to people who shout "buy american!" when you mention chinese products. in electronics, american products simply don't exist, and when they do the cost is exponentially higher for what is largely an automated (not sustained by blue collar jobs) manufacturing industry.
🙂 neat, i never thought about transplanting the guts of a laptop into a case, sure why not. Theres a video floating around where a guy transplanted an xbox360 into a computer case too. The hardest part is figuring out how to splice a standard atx powersupply. Would be nice if someone created a universal adapter for the power supply.
this is what i was trying to make.
This is just beautiful. As if a PS5 and a mac mini had a child with a more robust and industrial look because of the wood and the heatsink. Truly art. I wish I were this skilled, I would definetly repurpose old laptops with the same ideas, as they just sit in storage because I am too attached to throw them away, since they once costed me sometimes a lot of money. I am not the one who likes RGB either so it looks just awesome for my taste.
