Now pay attention 007, this new piece of kit is the latest in satellite communication and weather control. It also has a one time emp burst, sleeping gas and last but not least, usb powered cigarette lighter. Cool build!
you should consider adding a Software Defined Radio with a swappable antenna so you can use it to listen to NOAA transmissions, decode weather satellite signals, hear frs/cb radios, etc.
I would almost want to 3D print the majority of these parts, rather than use wood. Either way, that looks sick AF and I really like the aesthetic of a cyberpunk portable computer.
I knew a guy who was obsessed with Cyberpunk and Gaming in general about 10 years ago. He used a PlayStation 2, and some other components, to create his own Cyber Deck out of a Samsonite Briefcase.
I love it and the fact that you used wood and not plastic or metal because wood can be done by hand by a lot of people and it gives you the feeling of homemade
The only thing TSA in the states here might prohibit is the battery, especially if it’s lithium based. Other than that the rest is a batch of wires and modules.
POV: You ask your Shadowrun larp group to bring their own props and that one guy takes it as a personal challenge. Seriously though, this is some fine craftsmanship and ingenuity. It was a joy watching you create this.
my one and only experience with shadow run was with a game master that treated every other player like a complete moron and talked down to us like children because we didnt really know how the game was played. We didnt even get passed character creation because he tried to tell us that any ideas we had that would have made the game more personalized and fun was stupid and he wouldnt allow it. Like, the guy forced me to abandon the idea of non-violent hacker because he was planning to have us in combat all the time and if my character wasnt willing to fight and kill he would die so i may as well not even play.

This is reminding me of a portable "LAN game server" I built over 20 years ago. It was built into an aluminium tool case. I mounted the guts from a 15" TFT screen to the back of a sheet of polycarbonate, and fitted that inside the lid with 2" alloy standoffs. I installed an ABIT BX6 motherboard in the bottom of the box, added a Pentium 2 450mhz CPU, a whopping 1GB of PC100 memory, and an Nvidia GeForce 256 GPU. The PSU was (IIRC) a 230w unit that was screwed to the inside wall of the case so that the air intake fan and mains power plug lining up with holes I cut in it. I used more stacks of standoffs and small L brackets to mount a tower of 3x 9GB 7200rpm ATA66 hard drives in there too. I finished it off with the mandatory (For the time) blue LED's all over the place to illuminate every component in there, and added a sheet of lightly smoked polycarbonate on top of all that to keep fingers out, and give me somewhere to store a keyboard, mouse, a power cable, and a 16 port network switch. It was a monster back in it's day, and was perfectly to host multiplayer Half-life, counterstrike, Unreal tournament, and Quake matches at small to medium sized LAN parties for 3 or 4 years before it became a bit of a weak link and started to lag if it had to cope with large game maps with a lot of players. I feel sad that kids today don't get to do the whole LAN party thing. Online games are OK if you just want to insult each others mothers, but it's so much more fun when you can look up across a table and SEE the expression change on the face of a guy who's just realised that while he was busy camping with a sniper class weapon, you'd crept up behind him and stuck a trip mine on the back of his head. :D
the good old days :) ! my friends and i organized lans very often , normally with 10 to 15 people, call of duty, unreal tournament, farcry, battlefield and a few more, but the most played was call of duty II, it was also the best way to share movies, musics and other stuff
We STARTED to get into the original FarCry multiplayer a bit later, but apparently, I got too good at it, and no one else wanted to join any game I was in. :) I'd do things that others didn't like. Stuff like making a bee line for the sniper rifle in a certain map, then doing something random like swimming out to the neighbouring Island, before shooting anyone who came towards my side of the main map. They called it camping, but my reasoning was that, if the developers didn't want people to use the sniper rifle at very long range they wouldn't have made it so lethal at such a long range. :D
I totally agree, we used to host parties on the server for the entire county's school system. So anyone in the county at school could play with us and substitute teachers just let us play after our work was done and didnt care. We kept hiding the files deeper and deeper on the server, but I agree seeing someone's face across the room after a good move was awesome. And I completely agree that the blue LED's are always mandatory lol
@@jlschump The blue LED's were pretty, but a games PC I built a few years later looked cooler. I found a brand of UV reactive nail polish that was clear under normal light, but would really pop with a toxic green glow when hit with UV. I bought a full clear acrylic case, and with a really fine brush painstakingly painted most of the components and various random circuit tracks on the motherboard + VGA card, the edges of all the boards/memory sticks, and the moving part of all the fans. I gutted a PSU, painted most of the components on that board too, and mounted that to the inside top of the PC case using long chrome standoffs. I bought an external laptop style USB CD rom drive because I couldn't work out how to modify a full sized 5.25" drive to fit in with the whole look I was going for. The single hard drive in this one was mounted in the bottom, but I'd stencilled/painted a biohazard symbol on top of it. I got some light grey heat shrink tube, then "Stranded"/bundled all the IDE cables, and made all the other cables the exact length they needed to be (Not that hard if you've already got easy access to all the PSU's solder pads) before wrapping those in grey heat shrink tube too. The great thing about heat shrinking bundles of wire is that you can shrink it to make the wires hold a shape, so all the cables followed straight lines and right angles. To finish it off, I added UV LED in every discreet place I could (I seem to remember there was something like 40 of them in there, all connected up with really thin enamelled wire that I spray painted silver so I could hide it along edges and behind things. When powered off it just looked like a super tidy build in a transparent case, but when I pressed that power button, EVERYONE stopped to gawk at it ! :D . It was probably the most attention grabbing PC I've ever built. It LOOKED amazing, but I wouldn't recommend an acrylic case to anyone. They're an absolute b*stard to keep from filling with dust, scratch easily, and have ZERO RF shielding, so my epic PC couldn't be used on a table near anyone who was still using a CRT monitor due to the unshielded PSU giving the image on their monitor a migraine inducing flicker, and if I put it on the floor it would spend the night sucking in dust, carpet fibres, and cat hair, so would need stripping down and cleaning before the next party (Compressed air just MOVED the detritus in there from one surface to another).......... But it did look good. :D
With how much digital design, CAD, 3D printing, and metal fabrication i end up doing on projects, I REALLY need to remember that wood is a thing, and it's easy to use.
Yeah,, we all know that wood is easy to work with sometimes,🤔 but whenever you build something, it's always come into mind that we need something rigid more sturdy and if you will it can last forever! It's not all about fancy but durability! 😁 I don't want things I've created go destroyed after falling at 3 feet high! Think twice not do twice. 😅
There is also something to be said for mocking up with cheap corrugated cardboard, easier and quicker than woof. Also hot glue comes off with some effort to do it again. If designing a recess panel socket that's bayonet or thread connected, mock it up first to ensure you can get your fingers in to be able to turn it.
This was my childhood dream. My friend and I used to make these all capable compact boxes filled with electronics and power that I can bring everywhere and hack around. We called it Box of Science.
I'd love to walk into the airport with that thing. And lets say they do check it out and you're all clear. Then you pull it out once you're on the airplane. What a fun ride for everybody.
TSA has entered the chat. Seriously thought very cool looking build! Looks like something you'd use to connect to a UAV and call down an airstrike in Call of Duty.
De todos los trabajos que he visto de "hágalo usted mismo" en el tema de computación, este sin lugar a dudas es la joya de la corona, estupendo trabajo! Of all the do-it-yourself computing jobs I've seen, this is without a doubt the crown jewel, great job!
My guy you need to get out more. I've seen way better than this. So much wasted space, cable management was lacking, speakers sounded like garbage, case was no longer waterproof after drilling holes in it. The wood adds more weight to it, would have been better if used aluminum angle iron and plexiglass (lighter weight) it looked like he didn't bring the GPIO header pins on the raspberry pi to the top for easy access. He has the right idea but lots room for improvement.
This made my night even though I think you did some things the hard and “less sophisticated” way it turned out better! I could rewatch this video multiple times amazing job all around
Thanks, glad you liked, my projects are all some kind of prototypes, i have the initial ideia and know how i want to do the build but while i´m doing the project i need to change some things or implement new solutions, if i build exactly this same project i´m pretty sure that i could simplify many things :)
Nice system, just thinking of a potential improvement for continued operation when the case is closed considering thermals. Heatpipe feeds through the box with silicone seals to an externally mounted heatsink/radiator might work and could potentially keep the case weather/waterproof. If you want to get crazy, you could try to really seal it with vacuum feedthroughs and a stronger o-ring lid seal and have it still be able to work if it were jettisoned from spacecraft or into the ocean. You could also put some solar cells on the outside with feeds to maintain the battery charge.
agree was a nice build but the moment he drilled through the box to secure the wooden frame it lost its waterproofing , could also make the box that housed everthing from aluminum which would be as strong or stronger but also thiner giving more room to mount store stuff
There is nothing in there that's going to get too hot. The Raspberry Pi will be ok and none of the other components will give off any substantial heat..
@dougle03 Hrmm. EVERYTHING gets too hot if the insulation is too good. You are used to convective cooling in open air. Do only radiative cooling through a closed, sealed container, no airflow to the atmosphere. Do a back of the envelope calculation and run times arrow over several months. Come back when you have order of magnitude evidence for your assertion, and I will yield to your point.
@@JoshtMoody I'm assuming the case is powered down when closed... Even then, thermal loss will happen though the materials, the Pi Broadcom CPU will throttle if it gets above 80'c, thus no need for forced or additional cooling... Ohh, and I don't need an 'order of magnitude' of evidence, thermodynamic laws govern this situation, suggest you read up a bit more, then you'll actually stand a better change of saying something useful rather than irritating...
I was thinking of doing something like this... even had an Amazon wishlist full of stuff I was going to put into it. Then I started doing the math on what was in that list and realized that a second-hand Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 MkIII with a touchscreen was about half the cost, replacement parts were everywhere, and they were likely as rugged as the flight case - and it is significatly more reliable than a kludge-in-a-box. 2x 4TB hard drives as a RAID-1 mirror susing the secondary HDD carrier running the latest Ubuntu Linux, swap out the CCFL backlight with an LED replacement part, and edit the BIOS ROM to bypass the hardware whitelist - and I have and "unsupported" industrial temperature Intel Mini-PCIe 802.11AX WiFi card (2.4GHz/5.8GHz/6GHz), a 4G/5G-LTE global modem, GPS, and a LoRa radio built-in. Runs at
Or just a regular laptop in a ruggedized case would be better than this. Besides, with all the holes drilled in the case, this build is no longer water proof.
@@TimLewallen Exactly. And I should also add about a year later - this Commercial-Off-The-Shelf laptop with standard hardware inside it (not "factory" parts per say, but equivalent-purpose/function-upgraded parts in factory locations) is a heck of a lot easier to explain when carrying through TSA...
The main problem with such a build is it attracts interest of customs officers. I also avoid rugged laptops and lunchbox PCs because of this reason. But the design itself is kind of an industry standard, these plastic cases are very convenient.
This is the coolest creation I’ve ever seen!!! Reminds me of the older test radars that were used in Electronic bench assembly. I would not mine owning this 😊😊😊
going from restoration youtube where every single step is as meticulous and careful as possible, to this video which is the closest i've seen youtube come to actual cyberpunk (complete with emulation lol) was incredibly entertaining. with enough time and the right components it feels like i could start making something like this today, which is a far cry from normal machining and even most diy channels that use large expensive equipment to machine parts. gluing a bunch of wood together, measuring by eye and using the components themselves as spacers, the zip ties and even the trapezoidal hinge on the keyboard, hell i think the only tool in this video that people don't normally have in their house is a soldering iron. incredibly impressive video and a very cool computer that i'll probably end up using as visual reference if i ever run a scifi/cyberpunk ttrpg :)
Grate design but Please STOP USING WOOD FOR EVERYTHING INTERIOR! For this project there is plastic sheets of different gauges, or plexiglass, it saves space and weigh. and just to go a step further line is whit a 22 gauge aluminum foil , you know to also work after an EMP!
A revision could be made in which a framework motherboard is implemented instead of a raspberry for extra performance, but overall, sick design and execution. I would love to create my own cyberdeck.
I built my own "cyberdeck" which is its own self-contained, portable SIGINT toolkit based on a mini-ITX formfactor PC running ESXI, constructed in a similar airtight case using mostly aluminum and 3D printed parts. It's packed full of "hacking gear", aka. a ton of antennas, decoder circuits, its own edge-router, (removable) WIFI decoy devices, similar to the HAK5 pineapple, etc. Everything is built in a modular fashion, so you can change the modules in 4 different slots, which all use thunderbolt connections, to prepare for different assignments. To keep it water resistant, all the modules are equipped with rubber seals and for the ports I used keystone modules with water resistant caps. The whole thing is powered by multiple LiPo's an a custom built EPS unit (thanks for the PCBs, PCBWay ;)
I mean... Nothing is wrong with 3d printing. You still need to know how to actually assemble something like this. Everyone has their own way of doing it.
4.5 kilos. . ? Wow ! You have inspired me. I’m drooling now planning the cost and final weight of a similar design using 3D printed parts to save weight. Pelican case MacMini under 3 kgs.
Hot damn this is cool. I like you integrated other functions on the lid instead of putting a bigger monitor in it. This is a little paradise for home brew project. If it is a product I will definitely buy one although I don't know how to use all the gadgets.
Would love to see a 3d printed version for weight and space savings. Regardless of how it's assembled, I could see all kinds of cool stuff added to this to give it more IO than even most desktops. A nicer built in meter with a rotary switch would be nice for car diagnostics, for example. The component tester is sick, but a eeprom writer would be next level. Slightly bigger battery and maybe it could even function as a jump pack for a car. (Or just add an entire jump pack, lol) To be clear, I'm not criticizing the wood at all. Looks sick man, good job.
Truly BEAUTIFUL! That said, there are a couple of suggestions for the enevitable Mk. 2 variant of this: One: Cable Management. I would highly advise using tape, split loom tubing, twist ties, or zip ties for wire and cable management. I recognize that this may be "experimental" and as such, necessitate easy access to different bits of the wiring harness, it would still look better if things were bundled together. Two:Material Selection. As others have stated, sheet acrylic, plexiglass or styrene, as well as sheet metals woul save weight and space. However, if that's all you have at hand, could afford, or were experienced with it's fine. After all, you go with what you know bro. Three: Aesthetics. Dig the black scheme howrver a couple of things come to mind. First, I would have dry fit everything, then painted the parts before assembly. I'd use painters tape to cover areas I intended to glue later. I would also consider painting some of the more visible components an alternate color or two to add visual interest as well. Overall, I dig this rig! Very nicely done brother, very nicely done!
Thought he did a really great job with this build The whole process was a learning experience and it was really great to watch Hope to enjoy more great videos from this channel.
an amazing craft ! really inspiring but if i can recomend one thing, it would be if possible for you to get a cheap 3D printer so you can make easier and more accurate tiny plastic brackets, adapters, parts instead of going jaynky hack sawing around hehe (even if its also my cup of tea) that would bring your amazing work to another level !!
Thank you , glad you liked, 3d printed parts could be an option but for me i prefer to hand made all the parts and improvise always when needed, that´s the fun part for me :)
I think, to make it more military like, you can use aluminium sheets and replace those wooden components. Also, do away with the glue and use some screws. I think it's cooler
To rework it a little, I stuffed a multimeter in there, the oscilloscope will turn out to be a very convenient mini laboratory for PC technicians on the go!
Don't suppose you offer these pre-made for sale? Some of us are not skilled to do such things. I was a Network Engineer for 20+ years & I can't build anything! I was mainly a Windows admin, desktop fix it type. This looks awesome & actually very useful!
In this video i didn´t add a schematic, all the wiring is very straight foward, the less obvious part is the variable power supply but it is based in another project that i did some years ago, if you search "mini variable power supply" on my channel you will find it, there is a schematic there
Im so building this for live feed/tune on my foxbody Mustang. Im doing a cyberpunk, V8 twin charged build with a old 5.8 out of a van thats being rebuilt. (Super and turbo charged, all from a junkyard low boost for reliability) standalone ECU where I can run a remap. I've been building the lights and prepping a Saleen body kit (because it has those futurism curves) ive also gotten to work on the engine bay. Glass coolant piping for a return to add to that effect. The thing wont be driveable until next year, at this rate it wont be finished until 2026 at least. Ive also got plans into making a LCD (buick style) gauge cluster, im also trying to find a CRT thats a touch screen or figuring out how I could make a touchscreen look similar to a CRT. As I am inspired by the 1990s Oldsmobile Trofeo. Thats going to come in much later of course. Where ill hopefully be able to hire someone or make it myself, a running android based system thatll show a Ford Green LCD but allows me to control the AC and Radio. (Yes ive even thought of trying to find a Trofeo for this) I plan on filming all this because its been a dream project of mine for years. Despite it being a foxbody, the amount of actual electronics similar to a digital cluster is far and few..unless you want to spend $1000s!
As a backup computer I would recommend a copper foil liner the case first then plastic dip it but make sure the two pieces touch when it closes. And I would recommend silicone or rubber o rings as a gasket for the screws going through the case to keep it water resistant. And test it against radio waves to check if it may survive e.m.p. The case water rating if not to heavy would float in the case of flood. But what you put on the computer is always dealer’s choice. But it looks like a good idea. Now a bigger box could give you a good place for more battery or controller space or off grid charging options too.
Thanks, the srews are tight, the plastic case acts already as an oring between the metal screw and the wood, i´m planing future upgrades, it still have plenty of room bellow the keyboard :)
I actually love the idea that you already start to do things at the very beginning of the video instead of saying through half of the video the origins and the thing you want to achieve. (though I myself do videos exactly the way i described here)
It's all about those view minutes I guess..... Personally I skip the dialogue nonsense at the start of most videos like this, the interested stuff is usually towards the end anyway
A wiring diagram for this would be awesome, if possible. I’m not knowledgeable enough in electronics to figure out all that wiring myself but would def be able to make one if there was a wiring schematic. That is very cool.
Thanks, its a very simple wiring configuration, each module is directly conected to the battery, the more complex (and its easy) wiring is the power supply module (top right side) if you search "mini power supply" on my channel i have a video with a schematic of it :)
This is just what I was thinking of building only instead of the BT module I want to add a UHF / VHF oh and the dedicated Calculator is just brilliant , more useful than you think. Thank You for the build Video this is great.
Great work!!! I'd love to build one with an I7 and 1060 GTX GPU or better. Reason is for a Gen 2 Cyberdeck that allows a direct connect to my Meta Quest 2 and 3. Love the fact you put a ROM burner in. Very nice touch!! Its good to see some still burn ROMS when needed, especially for classic arcade games. Just a great diagnostic and power plant deck!!

With how much digital design, CAD, 3D printing, and metal fabrication i end up doing on projects, I REALLY need to remember that wood is a thing, and it's easy to use.
It's crazy the amount of useful ways to use different woods and it just always slips the mind
Yeah,, we all know that wood is easy to work with sometimes,🤔 but whenever you build something, it's always come into mind that we need something rigid more sturdy and if you will it can last forever! It's not all about fancy but durability! 😁 I don't want things I've created go destroyed after falling at 3 feet high! Think twice not do twice. 😅
There is also something to be said for mocking up with cheap corrugated cardboard, easier and quicker than woof. Also hot glue comes off with some effort to do it again.
If designing a recess panel socket that's bayonet or thread connected, mock it up first to ensure you can get your fingers in to be able to turn it.
Whatever you do do not take this into any airport or school's. People will think that you're trying to take over the world!
This was my childhood dream. My friend and I used to make these all capable compact boxes filled with electronics and power that I can bring everywhere and hack around. We called it Box of Science.
Is this ture and let me gusse did you use metaspliot
The only thing missing was the keyboard popping out by itself, but the whole product looks sick!!!
"Sir, we've confiscated your nuclear remote controller. The police in under way, code black!"
When they open it, it starts playing that song😂😂
Right if anything they are definitely going to be suspicious of that.
You can't undie yourself
That was fantastic. I'm not regretting getting a business degree over computer/electrical engineering at all...
A basic circuits class would teach you all you need for this. Just learn what you are passionate about online.
I thought this would turn out to be something remotely useful, instead it's something even better! This is such a dream come true for kid me!
I'd love to walk into the airport with that thing. And lets say they do check it out and you're all clear. Then you pull it out once you're on the airplane. What a fun ride for everybody.
Mind blowing display of both your woodworking and electrical engineering skills. Even more mind blowing final product. 11/10
My eyes really only caught one "1" in the rating, so I thought that you wrote all of that just to give it a 1/10
TSA has entered the chat.
Seriously thought very cool looking build! Looks like something you'd use to connect to a UAV and call down an airstrike in Call of Duty.

De todos los trabajos que he visto de "hágalo usted mismo" en el tema de computación, este sin lugar a dudas es la joya de la corona, estupendo trabajo!
Of all the do-it-yourself computing jobs I've seen, this is without a doubt the crown jewel, great job!
My guy you need to get out more. I've seen way better than this. So much wasted space, cable management was lacking, speakers sounded like garbage, case was no longer waterproof after drilling holes in it. The wood adds more weight to it, would have been better if used aluminum angle iron and plexiglass (lighter weight) it looked like he didn't bring the GPIO header pins on the raspberry pi to the top for easy access. He has the right idea but lots room for improvement.
@@chrislewis2262I think He was going for a more stereotypical post-apochalyptic look.
probably the best case build ive seen , you really used all the space
wait a second.. you can modify/upgrade it basically at any time. it's a beautiful thing
This made my night even though I think you did some things the hard and “less sophisticated” way it turned out better! I could rewatch this video multiple times amazing job all around
Thanks, glad you liked, my projects are all some kind of prototypes, i have the initial ideia and know how i want to do the build but while i´m doing the project i need to change some things or implement new solutions, if i build exactly this same project i´m pretty sure that i could simplify many things :)
That adjustable power supply unit, is very usefull when you're scavenging for electronics very well thought of!!
Sure its usefull in a post apocalityc scenario
That is crazy cool! Great job! Hollywood-level prop design!
Nice system, just thinking of a potential improvement for continued operation when the case is closed considering thermals. Heatpipe feeds through the box with silicone seals to an externally mounted heatsink/radiator might work and could potentially keep the case weather/waterproof. If you want to get crazy, you could try to really seal it with vacuum feedthroughs and a stronger o-ring lid seal and have it still be able to work if it were jettisoned from spacecraft or into the ocean. You could also put some solar cells on the outside with feeds to maintain the battery charge.
agree was a nice build but the moment he drilled through the box to secure the wooden frame it lost its waterproofing , could also make the box that housed everthing from aluminum which would be as strong or stronger but also thiner giving more room to mount store stuff
@@DarthKryat nah, just seal with silicone like Dap. Should be good to go.
There is nothing in there that's going to get too hot. The Raspberry Pi will be ok and none of the other components will give off any substantial heat..
@dougle03 Hrmm. EVERYTHING gets too hot if the insulation is too good. You are used to convective cooling in open air. Do only radiative cooling through a closed, sealed container, no airflow to the atmosphere. Do a back of the envelope calculation and run times arrow over several months.
Come back when you have order of magnitude evidence for your assertion, and I will yield to your point.
@@JoshtMoody I'm assuming the case is powered down when closed... Even then, thermal loss will happen though the materials, the Pi Broadcom CPU will throttle if it gets above 80'c, thus no need for forced or additional cooling... Ohh, and I don't need an 'order of magnitude' of evidence, thermodynamic laws govern this situation, suggest you read up a bit more, then you'll actually stand a better change of saying something useful rather than irritating...
I was thinking of doing something like this... even had an Amazon wishlist full of stuff I was going to put into it. Then I started doing the math on what was in that list and realized that a second-hand Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 MkIII with a touchscreen was about half the cost, replacement parts were everywhere, and they were likely as rugged as the flight case - and it is significatly more reliable than a kludge-in-a-box. 2x 4TB hard drives as a RAID-1 mirror susing the secondary HDD carrier running the latest Ubuntu Linux, swap out the CCFL backlight with an LED replacement part, and edit the BIOS ROM to bypass the hardware whitelist - and I have and "unsupported" industrial temperature Intel Mini-PCIe 802.11AX WiFi card (2.4GHz/5.8GHz/6GHz), a 4G/5G-LTE global modem, GPS, and a LoRa radio built-in. Runs at
Or just a regular laptop in a ruggedized case would be better than this. Besides, with all the holes drilled in the case, this build is no longer water proof.
@@TimLewallen Exactly.
And I should also add about a year later - this Commercial-Off-The-Shelf laptop with standard hardware inside it (not "factory" parts per say, but equivalent-purpose/function-upgraded parts in factory locations) is a heck of a lot easier to explain when carrying through TSA...
I like there's a calculator right under a computer, which literally is a super fast multifunctional calculator by itself
What a rad design and build process you have. Very cool.
Thanks, glad you liked :)
The main problem with such a build is it attracts interest of customs officers. I also avoid rugged laptops and lunchbox PCs because of this reason. But the design itself is kind of an industry standard, these plastic cases are very convenient.
If it were me, I'd make it more of a gaming laptop for AAA titles.
Also includes a permanent countdown timer clock, always on when case is opened
"Bond......James Bond."
More like.. Bomb... James ... BOMB !!!!!@@haggai3.477
This is the coolest creation I’ve ever seen!!! Reminds me of the older test radars that were used in Electronic bench assembly. I would not mine owning this 😊😊😊
going from restoration youtube where every single step is as meticulous and careful as possible, to this video which is the closest i've seen youtube come to actual cyberpunk (complete with emulation lol) was incredibly entertaining. with enough time and the right components it feels like i could start making something like this today, which is a far cry from normal machining and even most diy channels that use large expensive equipment to machine parts. gluing a bunch of wood together, measuring by eye and using the components themselves as spacers, the zip ties and even the trapezoidal hinge on the keyboard, hell i think the only tool in this video that people don't normally have in their house is a soldering iron. incredibly impressive video and a very cool computer that i'll probably end up using as visual reference if i ever run a scifi/cyberpunk ttrpg :)
Thank you, glad you liked :)
Grate design but Please STOP USING WOOD FOR EVERYTHING INTERIOR! For this project there is plastic sheets of different gauges, or plexiglass, it saves space and weigh. and just to go a step further line is whit a 22 gauge aluminum foil , you know to also work after an EMP!
Hehe suffer
I would have added a flip top large monitor, excellent job. Amazing build
Thanks, glad you liked
A revision could be made in which a framework motherboard is implemented instead of a raspberry for extra performance, but overall, sick design and execution. I would love to create my own cyberdeck.
True, but a pi also gives better battery life and gpio
awesome idea, wouldve liked to see more compute in there then just a raspberry pi. Maybe something custom, definitely had the space. 9/10
Hollywood has a new sci fi prop specialist!!!! Amazing build
This is one of the best of these I have seen, kudos to you.
Thanks :)
LOVE the aesthetic, dude... you have to sell thoses creations!!!
You work hard, amazing!!!
Well done matte well done !!! Congrats
Damn it looks like a Call of Duty Modern Warfare kill streak weapon!
I built my own "cyberdeck" which is its own self-contained, portable SIGINT toolkit based on a mini-ITX formfactor PC running ESXI, constructed in a similar airtight case using mostly aluminum and 3D printed parts. It's packed full of "hacking gear", aka. a ton of antennas, decoder circuits, its own edge-router, (removable) WIFI decoy devices, similar to the HAK5 pineapple, etc.
Everything is built in a modular fashion, so you can change the modules in 4 different slots, which all use thunderbolt connections, to prepare for different assignments. To keep it water resistant, all the modules are equipped with rubber seals and for the ports I used keystone modules with water resistant caps. The whole thing is powered by multiple LiPo's an a custom built EPS unit (thanks for the PCBs, PCBWay ;)
This would make an awesome MIDI controller/DAW platform for Techno guys. Excellent video.
Отличный чехол для калькулятора получился. Только электроника и тонна проводов лишние .
Nice to see somebody using real skills instead of the usual RUclips “I needed a bracket, so I 3D printed it” garbage.
I mean... Nothing is wrong with 3d printing. You still need to know how to actually assemble something like this. Everyone has their own way of doing it.
I really needed this video. I've just started gathering parts to build a cyberdeck. Thank you for the information and ideas.
Thanks :)
Might have to make hexagonal patterns to allow good structural integrity while also letting air in & out.
This looks like something that jumped out of my childhood sketchbook.
Love this. Looks like a great project, and a fun build
I love the Tiny Calculator addition. Because...Why not?!
4.5 kilos. . ?
Wow !
You have inspired me.
I’m drooling now planning the cost and final weight of a similar design using 3D printed parts to save weight. Pelican case MacMini under 3 kgs.
Thanks, yes, just the battery is 1.2 kgs
That is sooooo cooool. I love the other little screens you included.
Hot damn this is cool. I like you integrated other functions on the lid instead of putting a bigger monitor in it.
This is a little paradise for home brew project. If it is a product I will definitely buy one although I don't know how to use all the gadgets.
Thanks, yes, that´s the reason i used a smaller screen, i wanted to have more functions on the lid :)
You inspired me to post a video of my Diy pi4 in a waterproof case I made. Cheers
That´s cool, it looks good :)
This is not a gadget, this a masterpiece of art, congrats br, hope some Day can do something like this
Music r dope , this video is like don't underestimate the power of mechanical engineering.
0:29 that is one mighty sharp pencil.
xD
U got the nukes code?
Security nuke computer.
Would love to see a 3d printed version for weight and space savings. Regardless of how it's assembled, I could see all kinds of cool stuff added to this to give it more IO than even most desktops. A nicer built in meter with a rotary switch would be nice for car diagnostics, for example. The component tester is sick, but a eeprom writer would be next level. Slightly bigger battery and maybe it could even function as a jump pack for a car. (Or just add an entire jump pack, lol)
To be clear, I'm not criticizing the wood at all. Looks sick man, good job.
Thank you, glad you liked, many more modules are possible to add :)
We are going to need a bigger case.
This actually looks sick, might do it in the future!
(not going to use in airport for reasons...)
Truly BEAUTIFUL! That said, there are a couple of suggestions for the enevitable Mk. 2 variant of this:
One: Cable Management.
I would highly advise using tape, split loom tubing, twist ties, or zip ties for wire and cable management. I recognize that this may be "experimental" and as such, necessitate easy access to different bits of the wiring harness, it would still look better if things were bundled together.
Two:Material Selection.
As others have stated, sheet acrylic, plexiglass or styrene, as well as sheet metals woul save weight and space. However, if that's all you have at hand, could afford, or were experienced with it's fine. After all, you go with what you know bro.
Three: Aesthetics.
Dig the black scheme howrver a couple of things come to mind. First, I would have dry fit everything, then painted the parts before assembly. I'd use painters tape to cover areas I intended to glue later.
I would also consider painting some of the more visible components an alternate color or two to add visual interest as well.
Overall, I dig this rig! Very nicely done brother, very nicely done!
Thanks, i used what i had around :)
Thought he did a really great job with this build The whole process was a learning experience and it was really great to watch Hope to enjoy more great videos from this channel.
thank you, glad you liked :)
an amazing craft ! really inspiring but if i can recomend one thing, it would be if possible for you to get a cheap 3D printer so you can make easier and more accurate tiny plastic brackets, adapters, parts instead of going jaynky hack sawing around hehe (even if its also my cup of tea) that would bring your amazing work to another level !!
Thank you , glad you liked, 3d printed parts could be an option but for me i prefer to hand made all the parts and improvise always when needed, that´s the fun part for me :)
I think, to make it more military like, you can use aluminium sheets and replace those wooden components. Also, do away with the glue and use some screws. I think it's cooler
Glue and nails would be better than screws in this situation.
Props to the ncs music 10+ years and still rockin on!
bro is making movie props out here
To rework it a little, I stuffed a multimeter in there, the oscilloscope will turn out to be a very convenient mini laboratory for PC technicians on the go!
Don't suppose you offer these pre-made for sale? Some of us are not skilled to do such things. I was a Network Engineer for 20+ years & I can't build anything! I was mainly a Windows admin, desktop fix it type. This looks awesome & actually very useful!
Thanks, glad you liked :)
I would pay like 5000$ for one of these.
Do you have schematic drawing for all this? This project is awesome!!! Great work!
In this video i didn´t add a schematic, all the wiring is very straight foward, the less obvious part is the variable power supply but it is based in another project that i did some years ago, if you search "mini variable power supply" on my channel you will find it, there is a schematic there
amazing job man I just saw this video and I could see you are gifted in electronics. 10/10 would watch again
Im so building this for live feed/tune on my foxbody Mustang.
Im doing a cyberpunk, V8 twin charged build with a old 5.8 out of a van thats being rebuilt. (Super and turbo charged, all from a junkyard low boost for reliability) standalone ECU where I can run a remap.
I've been building the lights and prepping a Saleen body kit (because it has those futurism curves) ive also gotten to work on the engine bay. Glass coolant piping for a return to add to that effect.
The thing wont be driveable until next year, at this rate it wont be finished until 2026 at least.
Ive also got plans into making a LCD (buick style) gauge cluster, im also trying to find a CRT thats a touch screen or figuring out how I could make a touchscreen look similar to a CRT. As I am inspired by the 1990s Oldsmobile Trofeo. Thats going to come in much later of course. Where ill hopefully be able to hire someone or make it myself, a running android based system thatll show a Ford Green LCD but allows me to control the AC and Radio. (Yes ive even thought of trying to find a Trofeo for this)
I plan on filming all this because its been a dream project of mine for years. Despite it being a foxbody, the amount of actual electronics similar to a digital cluster is far and few..unless you want to spend $1000s!
You've just created a masterpiece of electronic
this is so unnecessary, and I love it
Its not waterproof anymore 0:52
the screws are tight and act as an oring
bro is BUILDING his own defuser
As a backup computer I would recommend a copper foil liner the case first then plastic dip it but make sure the two pieces touch when it closes. And I would recommend silicone or rubber o rings as a gasket for the screws going through the case to keep it water resistant. And test it against radio waves to check if it may survive e.m.p. The case water rating if not to heavy would float in the case of flood. But what you put on the computer is always dealer’s choice. But it looks like a good idea. Now a bigger box could give you a good place for more battery or controller space or off grid charging options too.
Thanks, the srews are tight, the plastic case acts already as an oring between the metal screw and the wood, i´m planing future upgrades, it still have plenty of room bellow the keyboard :)
I would be more better if you install kali linux os rather than windows os. Otherwise it is an awesome work. Keep it up❤
i´m using raspian not windows :)
@@DTeK raspian is good
Bonito trabalho meus parabens
Perfect for raspberi pi
coolest diy ever in my life. I mean BETTER than ferrari diy
Awesome! Surprised you didn't add a solar panel to it to charge it.
Even at x2 speed this was way too slow. ZzZ
Imagine how much time this took
a minuteman missile switch would of been a nice touch :-) . enjoyed build and sound track
I was enjoying the video but I was more distracted by Alan Walkers song "Dreamer" that was playing 😂its a good song I couldn't resist
I actually love the idea that you already start to do things at the very beginning of the video instead of saying through half of the video the origins and the thing you want to achieve. (though I myself do videos exactly the way i described here)
It's all about those view minutes I guess..... Personally I skip the dialogue nonsense at the start of most videos like this, the interested stuff is usually towards the end anyway
Damn. I say DAMN! That's all a man needs in one package right there. Stellar work mate!
A wiring diagram for this would be awesome, if possible. I’m not knowledgeable enough in electronics to figure out all that wiring myself but would def be able to make one if there was a wiring schematic. That is very cool.
Thanks, its a very simple wiring configuration, each module is directly conected to the battery, the more complex (and its easy) wiring is the power supply module (top right side) if you search "mini power supply" on my channel i have a video with a schematic of it :)
This is just what I was thinking of building only instead of the BT module I want to add a UHF / VHF oh and the dedicated Calculator is just brilliant , more useful than you think.
Thank You for the build Video this is great.
You the real MVP for sharing the music. Thank you!
This is awesome, it's times like these I wish I was this good with electronics. *Inserts Frys' take my money meme*
Good luck carrying that in your hand luggage when taking a flight! Awesome job, loved it the whole video!!
thanks :)
This is Very well made, May I suggest investing in a 3D printer? Its cheaper, faster, and better for the environment. *Over all great video!* 😊
Awesome ideas!! Add a faraday enclosure for next proyect🤓🤓🤓
Great work!!! I'd love to build one with an I7 and 1060 GTX GPU or better. Reason is for a Gen 2 Cyberdeck that allows a direct connect to my Meta Quest 2 and 3. Love the fact you put a ROM burner in. Very nice touch!! Its good to see some still burn ROMS when needed, especially for classic arcade games.
Just a great diagnostic and power plant deck!!
thanks :)
Leveling glue with fingers is all I need to know about this fine gentleman.
LIKE WHEN WILL I EVER NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS. COOL I THINK I WILL TRY TO BUILD. AWESOME STUFF
