1920's Steamer Trunk "Portable" Desk PC, with a Steam Punk theme.
In its current state, not 100% finished, but fully working.
Need a better fitting mat, not sure what though...
Where it all started!
My first attempt at folding legs was BAD.
Had to RMA the first MoBo.
My little helper
The fans on the GPU turned out to be not great (Ex mining card).
GPU cooling fixed!
Luggage
Hello, welcome to my build of Luggage!
This has been a long and unique build, which started with a small idea but kinda went with my imagination!
The last time I played around with PC building was in my early teens, so had a lot to learn and catch up on (GForce 4 was still a thing!)
I had a long period off work sick, so used this build to keep me occupied while i was recovering.
Almost everything here is second hand, up-cycled or bodged. The only new components being the MoBo, CPU and mouse/keyboard/headset. I had a very tight budget to work with as all i had was the money from the insurance company after my (2Yr old at the time) went full Super Saiyan on my gaming laptop (I5, GTX 960m).
Please, if you have and question, or ideas for where to what to do next just comment and i will try to get back to you! Even criticism, i do have a sense of humour!
