I have surfed around a bit the last few months looking at various types of casemods and designes. I have seen some fine cases and som not so fine but what I havent seen is a loptop mod.
So here goes.
The last few days I have been looking in to the possibility to creat from scratch my own laptop case that is water cooled, semi portable and super pimped.
Using lexan, LED lights, BIG fans (altho they have to be low profile), a custom built water cooling system, dual input AC adapter for the exstra needed power and some few more assorted things. I havent got the desigen 100% completed yet, and im still missing a laptop to use but this shouldnt take to long to aquire.
Also need to know how much heat the latpop gives of, and sisnce im using water cooling, do I realy need a radiator?
Pros:
+ So far I cant think of any other pros then it will look FAT
Cons:
- Keeping the thickness of the system to a normal. 4-5cm thick at the max.
- Space for the watertank, might have to drop the battery.
- making an AC adapter that can cope with the power needs.
- Weight is going to be an issue. But as I said "semi portable".
- Water in a laptop? cant be good.
- Finding a small enough water pump, that also can be inserted inside the watertank?
This aint gonna be eay is it?
ps: How do I spell thick? thik? theick?
