hey what gave me playing just some pub G mobile it's like the hardest thing right now it's pretty fun how about you what are you playing over there oh I'm just playing some pub G non mobile nice power chord nerd fuck man I'm gonna mean the core p90 TG from thermaltake sports an open-air design and a prism shaped body surrounded by 5 millimeter thick tempered glass for a spectacular view from any angle a trio of compartments housed full-size hardware and expansive support for custom water-cooling all of which can be shown up vertically horizontally or even on your wall to learn more click the link in the description for more info so as you guys might expect today I'll be putting together a miniature PC gaming setup not necessarily because it's practical or even a good idea but because I can I've rounded up a special list of hardware to help me along my fun-sized journey starting with the Intel nook a mini PC fitted with a 7th gen Intel Core i5 7260 u processor with 2 cores 4 threads and a max turbo frequency of 3.4 gigahertz this Nook is a bare-bones model so we'll be adding our own storage in memory including an 8 gigabyte som kit of Crucial Ballistix sport ddr4 at 2400 our drive is the samsung 960 pro which is totally overkill for our needs but it's the only 500 gig m2 SSD I actually had on hand so into the Nook it goes since a tiny setup calls for tiny peripherals I picked up the IU nagar 5 inch capacitive touchscreen a popular choice for the Raspberry Pi craft powered by microUSB the display boasts an 800 by 480 resolution 60 Hertz refresh rate and a full-sized HDMI input we'll be connecting it to the Nook with a flat HDMI cable and a right-angle HDMI adapter just to make our connection look a bit cleaner my keyboard of choice was a Bluetooth model from ICI technology that folds out to be just large enough to fit fingers on those WASD keys it features 3 channel pairing for on-the-fly switching between three connected devices and the switches are surprisingly tactile for such a keyboard naturally a gamer is only as good as his mouse so today I'm going to suck more than usual while the Logitech M 187 is in my opinion the weakest link in the group $9.00 still gets you a super portable pointer with left and right clicks a scroll wheel and a 2.4 gigahertz wireless connection via the included USB receiver finally it wouldn't be a battle station without the sounds of war so here we have the kinivo zx100 which delivers decent sound quality for its size great battery life and to built an eighth inch cable to avoid any audio/video sync issues during our gameplay and that is our pocket-sized PC gaming setup I'll drop links to everything here in the description if you guys are interested but without further ado let's see if this thing actually works alright it's all hooked up this was a great idea look at little icons they're so cute I have a strong feeling that we can run csgo so we're gonna start with that and we might try another game assuming that this doesn't immediately fail I do have fraps running so we have a frame counter in the top left corner there so you guys can actually see what kind of performance we're getting in game so I'm gonna go into my video settings here and you know that it's it's actually a pretty crisp screen surprisingly like I feel so far away from the screen because all the text is really tiny but I can read it perfectly fine it's super sharp and it looks like we are running at the native resolution of 800 by 480 Auto settings have deemed this nook capable of running csgo at anywhere from very low to high settings okay I'm gonna play with some bots because I'll feel too bad if I'm actually on anyone's team loading up into dust tube for the record this mouse would be perfect for like a three-year-old child but that's it we're hovering at around 66 fps oh it's just jumping all over the place depending on where we're looking of course now we're at in the in the low hundreds it's actually pretty darn smooth is that a is that a guy Oh Oh first kill on the mini PC glorious it's kind of difficult knowing who my friends are because they're so small Hey Oh Oh head shot the head shots are way harder with this monitor I'm not feeling it yet but I would imagine that gaming on this setup for a long period of time would result in severe eye fatigue oh and there I go setup small I do wish the keyboard had some rubber feet to keep it from sliding around when things get intense I tend to but I would love to bring this to a Starbucks and just watch people's reactions I'm sure it would turn a lot of heads and provoke a lot of questions like does he have any friends so honestly guys we're getting anywhere from 60 to 100 plus FPS right now at once again 800 by 480 resolution not too bad let's try topping I bet I'd be a great off on a miniature set up and sure enough I am this probably isn't as convenient as a laptop I'll admit but it's way funner dropping like flies all right we won cuz we're awesome let's switch gears here see if this thing can handle some doom all right so our iris plus graphics are doing a pretty decent job here at medium settings we're getting in the mid 40s right now guys 40s to 50s very very playable no-one should fall apart that easily you guys need to drink more milk you know the setup is actually I have to give it credit it's a lot nicer to game on than you might expect and I think that's probably why I haven't said anything in like the last minute or two because I'm just I'm actually kind of immersed in this game right now I got grenades do this yeah thank God this mouse has a scroll wheel otherwise I wouldn't have been able to throw Natick you who you ugly you ugly man this totally beats out mobile gaming who even needs phones these days with a setup like this come on clash of clans step aside candy crush you've been crushed this is the future of gaming ladies and gentlemen I'm getting a little cramp in my finger whoa I need to drink hold on sorry guys okay we're good okay I think we have destroyed every tiny demon in sight so I'm gonna call it for now this has been quite an experience and really a big surprise it's the biggest little surprise I've received in a long time just how fun and enjoyable this was definitely exceeded my expectation so very cool if you guys would like to see any more content about this miniature setup moving forward if you have any creative ideas let me know in the comments I'd be totally open to it apart from that guys toss a like on the video if you enjoyed it
