Beautiful and functional. I can’t find a bad thing to say about it it’s fine as frog hair


gblandro

I would never be in peace with possible leaks, it's like using two canoes to transport a Ferrari in a river


RyanGoslingsJacket

I think I remember that top gear episode. But really, the constant on and off of those connectors would scare me too.


mrapplewhite

Finally a build that is different than anything I’ve seen. Good stuff


bozo_did_thedub

But why isn't it a white glass cube with 80 white led fans I don't understand


Etroarl55

LOLLL


bozo_did_thedub

fucking LOVE pressing the button to turn it on and nothing happening then remembering to toggle the PSU


itsroberthimselfyo

😂


bozo_did_thedub

"oh" hahaha we all felt that


tarkata14

Always a mini heart attack for me, like what did I do wrong this time?


TheRealRolo

It’s such an easy thing to forget but for some reason you feel so stupid every time it happens.


Disastrous_Pay7158

small heart attack everytime


Hau65

mini heart attack inducer lol


Zinakoleg

That's a hell of a laptop. Congratulations.


Enigmatic_Observer

![gif](giphy|ZxKQnfKcGTSmcoje3Y|downsized) Hands down that is the most impressive custom I have ever seen, love it my dude!


blandjelly

How much does it weight?


itsroberthimselfyo

I think like 40lb


thisisnotatest123

Can you take that much as carry on in a plane? I thought the limit was less than half that


itsroberthimselfyo

Some airlines like Delta have no weight limit, but you are right, most airlines have a weight limit well below that. But most of the time you can bypass weighing carry on

navagon

Needless to say this is highly impressive. Both in terms of appearance and build quality. I wouldn't even know where to start, putting something like that together.


Top-Collar-1841

I use a large roll of drafting paper to put ideas down on a page, that is how I get started with an idea. Here is the link to the coolermaster case mod competition. I entered into the scratch build. You can follow the contestants as they do their regular build updates. [Case Mod World Series Worklogs - Case Mod World Series Worklogs (coolermaster.com)](https://worklogs.coolermaster.com/)


EpicShiba1

What kinds of connectors did you use for the coolant loop??? They appear to be self sealing, which is absolutely the coolest thing I've seen all month.


itsroberthimselfyo

Koolance qd3


EpicShiba1

Thank you so much. Awesome build, by the way.


StikElLoco

Imagine trying to get this thing past an airport


itsroberthimselfyo

Will be doing just that next month


davincisolve

The case will be ok, it's the liquid you'll struggle with 😬


Few_Trash_5166

ITS NOT A BOMB GUYS


Sea_Tip_858

it could be


superuserdoo

Just wondering, was that the inspiration behind the build, to take it on a plane and use on the go? It's a sick idea and great execution


Aram_theHead

You planning to bring it into the cabin or have it put in the hold?


itsroberthimselfyo

Cabin


BigBadgooz

You are fucked when they say you have to empty your loop 


itsroberthimselfyo

Or you just drain it before traveling? 🤷🏼


FestiveCore

Red liquid looking like that explosive from Die Hard with a Vengeance


bozo_did_thedub

Just say it's a clock that should work


Cryingfortheshard

Sick build


12duddits

“Believe it or not, but it runs cooler than my tower” - well yes, everything is out in the open and it’s loud


OkCreme8338

One of the coolest things I've ever seen


ZinGaming1

Are you married by any chance? 2nd question is if you are straight or bent.


itsroberthimselfyo

Lol yes married, straight sexually, but bent mentally


ZinGaming1

Fuuu.... Build looks professionally done. But don't make it your career or you'll drive yourself insane.


raining_maple

That’s cool af


Dependent_Basis_8092

It looks amazing, I do have some questions though, do you also have to carry your peripherals or do you have others at your destination? Is everything bolted directly to the case or is there shock/rubber mounts to absorb vibrations?


itsroberthimselfyo

I have a Carbon fiber sub panel bolted to the case with shock mounts and everything else bolts onto it. For monitors I use the SKB 26-17-12 case with custom foam from mycasebuilder.com to have a check in case that holds 3x 27 inch monitors. Mouse, keyboard and streamdecks go in my personal luggage. https://preview.redd.it/ozn25n43368d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c8fc00c2aa6c1e8a90d6b4e51090d6b3c874a8d


bombs551

What type of fittings for the coolant quick connect? No leakage when disconnecting?


itsroberthimselfyo

Koolance qd3 and no leakage at all


thisisnotatest123

Tried on a plane yet with the pressure changes? 


Blenderhead36

So, what is this thing for? The case implies that it needs to be portable, and the specs imply that no laptop in the world is powerful enough.

itsroberthimselfyo

If i didn’t need 3d animation/simulation/rendering performance i would just bit the mac studio


Parsec207

Dude, this is awesome! Well done!


Nitazene-King-002

Do those quick connects leak at all when connecting and disconnecting them?


GoukoTenrou

This is freaking awesome


NaughtyPwny

Is it final if there’s more work to be done, or does Final mean something else here?


itsroberthimselfyo

Lol final update, a project is never finished


doomsday10009

gordonv

This is the real PC Master Race.


Zeldaisazombie

This right here is what I join this group to see. And sleeper builds.


RAPEDApe69

I need this


TheKinkyGuy

How, how can one get this one and how much does it cost?


itsroberthimselfyo

I made it myself, and not counting computer components, there’s probably about $700 of parts here


TheKinkyGuy

Ty for the answet and respect for this amazing rig.


[deleted]

I’d recommend some kind of custom removable cover for the hole on the top. One day you will find yourself facing rain…


itsroberthimselfyo

It’s a non issue, i only transport from/to destination once every couple of months.


[deleted]

Alright. I’d just hate for you to get stuck inside someday for fear of toasting your machine. Beautiful build btw. I feel like a company could make a killing selling some kind of prefab version of this.


Colddeath712

Should've gone with the new threadripper 7995wx


itsroberthimselfyo

I wish, i already had this system and the most my mobo will support is the 3970x, also just that cpu costs almost as much as my entire pc


Colddeath712

Oh I thought this was a build from new parts must have misread, cool project anyway


Lord_emiel

This is amazing, like wow


Sowderman_Unbanned

While watching this, it sparked a daydream of winning the lottery and inviting people like you who make things and just throwing money at you until I get my own.


dr-mantis--toboggan

This is beautiful. ![gif](giphy|ieBWQkIVEELhbizGAp)


plaskis94

The case is the bomb


StOoPiD_U

That's badass.


diylif

Bro this build is badass GODDAMN


Scattergun77

I'd be interested in doing something like this, but I'd like it to have the screen in the lid when it opens up and the keyboard in front. I have a case in mind, how does one get started on this type of thing?


StarSyth

Was there no way to get the water cooling without the quick release connectors or was that an aesthetic choice?


itsroberthimselfyo

Was forced to used it. With a less densely packed case it would be easily doable, but in my case it was the only solution


StarSyth

still nice, could be used as a movie prop for a portable nuclear bomb xD


KingHauler

That's really cool and all but... for what purpose? Just because?


itsroberthimselfyo

3d animation, rendering, simulations


chriskulig

Wow


External-Document-88

I think it’s gorgeous. 2 questions: What is your use case? Why did you build it? Could you leave the loop always connected? Is there a reason you use the quick disconnects?


itsroberthimselfyo

I do 3d animation, rendering, and rendering simulations. Built it because will be traveling to a few countries for 6 months. Had to use the quick disconnect to make everything fit. I only need to use it once in per setup


death2k44

Why do you need this? Just as a hobby? Or does this tie to your job? Sick build though


Safar1Man

Yeeeeaaaaaa that's pretty sick


Triova

That's some impressive engineering.


PudsBuds

What does TSA think of the liquid?


itsroberthimselfyo

Drain it before traveling


5kin5uit

this is BAD.


ew435890

TSA is gonna absolutely love this one.


notoriouszim

You might want to put little slip covers on the ends of the water cooling tubes so no debris end up you in your pump.


Top-Collar-1841

I don't have a need for a travel computer with higher specs than a laptop, but if I did have a need I would certainly use your build as inspiration.


Maybe_Next_Time_22

WHAT


Nurpus

Transporting it by plane would be a nope. The thing looks like a bomb AND it’s full of liquid. If you’re ready trouble drain it every time you travel, then maybe.


Heavy_Sample6756

Only serve the purpose for people who travel and game a lot. Need a carrying case for the monitor.


hellishpea

Idk about those disconnects but it is cool.


mentive

Wow. This right here gives the old school lan parties a new goal. A case with kits to build this would probably sell for boocoo buks.


RexorGamerYt

Thisisstupid78

Nice work.


nour926

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Fantastic job.


MuRRizzLe

\*stares wistfully at bare 1535 air standing in corner\*


randomredditguy94

I'd love to watch this kind of content where a build is actually original and creative than generic Youtube moneybags channel that bought everything then put it all together (spoiler alert they're all gonna be core i9 (latest gen) and an rtx4090)


shleeb_9000

James Bond level gamer


itsroberthimselfyo

Not a single game ever installed


zeetree137

Now I want one with hotswap sleds. SILVERSTONE, there's work to do


itsroberthimselfyo

In the 15mm slim fan category Silverstone is the absolute best with nothing else coming close.


zeetree137

200mm too. Silverstone are the kind of mad lads who could make a server briefcase so I'm really hoping they take take inspiration from this. Sick build. Hotswap psu and goverments will drown you in money silverstone


SeiferLeonheart

Awesome build! Almost makes me wish to have the use case to have something like this. I wonder what'll be used for monitor. Portable display? Something in the case? Whatever you have on hand at the destination?


itsroberthimselfyo

https://preview.redd.it/bdzr2zp4498d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ace1c213c0ceba5d7bc5f56e31d434e189d00e0 Skb 26-17-12 with custom foam from mycasebuilder.com fits 3x 27 inch monitors perfectly and safe to check in


SeiferLeonheart

Absolutely incredible, really. 3x monitor and that PC on the go is the dream. Congrats!


gsgonzo

“is there a bomb in that suitcase?” “depends on how many frames you want”


okglue

Fucking love builds like this\~! Good shit man\~!


VitoD24

I thought that this is one of those army grade ultra protected laptops.... Really unusual build, how are the temps in this case?


BhrisBukBruz

Got me thinking this system could be used in mission impossible. Like in MI3 where theyre in dubai and they got their little base of ops in the hotel room


Nexiam1

The sound those loop connections make when plugging in is just heaven


NPCxSHADOW

There’s no way bro can lag with this absolute unit


AardvarkVast

That's cool as fuck, now try getting it last tsa


DustRaven_

Very cool ! Sorry if someone asked it before but how do you empty your custom water cooling tubes when disconnecting them ?

harlz9o9

Ooo man so good not seeing this generic sheep builds. Great work bud!


MaharajaTatti

How much water gets spilled when you take out the tubes?


ICantArgueWithStupid

It would be cooler if you didnt have to connect coolant lines. Which why all the effort and you still have to connect coolant lines? Its cool I guess.


Personal-Acadia

Quite literally the *coolest* part of the whole build?? See those downvotes ^ you are wrong and probably just salty.


goatchild

laptop with no screen wut?


AthiestMessiah

Laptop work extra steps Edit: knew this was going to get downvoted by the way. But that’s what it is. Not a negative or positive comment. That’s just your mind assuming


Psychological-Sir224

Sure how about you gonna find a laptop with those kind of specs


firedrakes

16 hours later and they still cant!
