In his waterproof case, you can find an RTX 3090, 128 GB of RAM, a 16-core processor, and almost everything a gamer’s heart desires. His video goes viral, and the builder shows what he had in mind while building it.
What kind of build is this? The builder wanted a desktop PC that he could easily travel with. It should be waterproof and handle the heat of his travel destinations well. What emerged is a powerful gaming PC that can be transported in a rolling suitcase and accompanies the developer on flights.
His video collects hundreds of comments and several hundred thousand views. We show you what’s inside and what is being criticized.
This is how powerful the PC is
This is the video: A user shared the introduction video of the suitcase build on reddit titled “The build is wild. What do you think about it?” In the video, a woman asks the viewers what could possibly be in the suitcase. Then the suitcase is opened, and the builder explains that his custom PC is inside. He explains that he wanted to build a new PC as part of a move that
- is easy to transport (since you travel by plane)
- and is waterproof (when traveling by boat)
We embed the video here:
As you can see in the video, everything needed is present in the PC. A mouse and keyboard are included. You simply open the suitcase, take out the two parts, plug the computer into power, and you’re good to go. A monitor secured with Velcro in the lid provides the display.
This hardware is inside:
- Aluminum extrusion frame
- Motherboard: Micro ATX (not specified further)
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x processor with 16 cores
- RAM: 128 GB RAM (4x 32 GB)
- Graphics card: Nvidia RTX 3090
- Power supply: Corsair SF750 with 750 watts
- Storage: 4 TB 2.5″ SSD + 2 TB NVMe SSD
- Display: 13″ touchscreen with 4k resolution
- Other: antennas for WiFi and Bluetooth, SD card reader, headphone jack, USB-C port, connection for second monitor, USB hub, Ethernet connection
Such a small display for the mega computer? The criticisms
This is what other users say: The video has received over 500 comments on reddit alone. On TikTok you can find 756 more comments with over 240,000 views.
- “So we just ignore how the keyboard rattles unprotected between a 3090 and a 4k monitor?” asks Udonomefoo on reddit.
- MrBohannan speculates on reddit: “Sticking a 3090 in a Pelican case to run a small 4k touchscreen. With the heat, you could probably ignite money.”
Others ask why he only uses a 750-watt power supply. That’s quite low for such a powerful graphics card. Furthermore, there are often comments that he could simply buy a laptop instead.
On TikTok, the builder released another video on his channel technicallyinpanama. This time he addresses the questions of the viewers.
- Many asked about the temperatures of the computer. In a FurMark 4k benchmark, the computer reached about 55 degrees CPU temperature and about 65 degrees GPU temperature at a room temperature of about 26 degrees – In a CPU benchmark, its temperature went up to about 65 degrees.
- He explains his 750-watt power supply by stating that it can handle peak loads of up to 967 watts, and he has managed well so far.
- Why doesn’t he use a laptop? That’s partly his personal taste. He has always had desktop PCs. Furthermore, in his opinion, it is not possible to find as much power as in his suitcase build in a laptop. Reasons for this are the required space for the components and the temperature. Additionally, he can easily replace broken parts. He says: “Besides, building it was a lot of fun, and using it feels really cool.”
What do you think about the builder’s build? Do you find it cool and want something like this for yourself or is that not your style, and do you prefer to use a laptop on the go? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss the topic with other readers.
