How To BUILD a Suit Case PC on a BUDGET! The Used RaidMax GTX 1060 'Troy' Build.

2018-06-13
so the day-after Computex I've just got back and flew in slept on the plane surprisingly I usually never sleep on planes and this one had the whole road of myself and the seats folded up as well so it made like a double bed more importantly though we're gonna get back to the hustled back to the grind as over Computex these companies they were just squeezing my nuts but you know what in the end it was the yes then ended up singing the high notes but what we got here today is a suitcase PC a raid max Troy got this on the monthly used parts hunt I'll put the link up here if you haven't seen it already and also picked up a lot of other parts as well page 61 and motherboard GTX 1066 gigabyte free budget power supply I brought back from combi textile throwing it out I was like hey it's got 300 watts on the 12 volt well why not pick that up and put it in this build also go to 240 GB SSD and 16 gigabytes of RAM that we're gonna try and put in the what are we waiting for let's try and paste this thing together but it needs it to the techies love this so we just tried cleaning all these parts down now with the data vac and that's like a blower that essentially just blows really sort of targeted air towards the parts and gets all the baseline dust except this time around its met its maker and that it's having a difficult time getting out some of the grime within the fins here which is has been emitted Lee sitting around for quite some time this here also another problem is it didn't come with a traditional screw set so I found some sort of screws that if I reverse mount it and then put in one of these tops here it will mount it severely got two of them then I'll have to mount it on the diagonal and now since it's 3770 it's not going to be overclocked she'll be absolutely fine I should actually run a lot better even still with just the diagonal then a stock intel cooler so now it's probably the only time you're going to see me not use brake cleaner on PC parts and the reason being is so although it's dirty they've got the hoses here which is close to the actual radiator now if brake cleaner gets on the hoses it could indeed eat away at it and if you've got that in a PC build you do not want that leaking whatsoever also the fins on the GPU they're pretty thin and they are made of plastic so using brake cleaner on that it could indeed make the fins weaker over time it's probably only one of the few times you'll see me not using brake cleaner on something this dirty but I think the builds pretty much ready to get installed now so before we install this motherboard in the computer of course we're going to mount the cooler bracket on the back but also update the BIOS and we have done that now and our i7 3770 now works also this memory here the corsair stuff it wasn't compatible this is an 8 gig stick wasn't compatible with this motherboard this one works so low because this didn't so unfortunately it's my only to a gigabyte sticks I have so I'm gonna have to go to 4 gigabyte sticks for this bill so now here's the build it is finally completed actually took a lot longer than I thought it would this front fan here giving us the main problem I had to actually remove the drive bay in the end so we've got our SSD just freely sitting in there but everything fit in the end and I'd kind of rather have a water cooler in a case this small and it's actually good that we got a reference graphics card as well because that'll be blowing it out this will be blowing it out as well so we're going to got negative pressure in here which should hopefully keep temperatures down but speaking of that we've got low power consumption to begin with not overclockable CPU gtx 1060 and it's time to finally boot this thing up but really when it comes down to it this case the Troy it's it's a really cool concept like you can close it quickly lock it up and then just move and take it any way you'd be absolutely awesome if you guys are traveling with a case constantly to your mates house or whatever but the problem is just the design itself like it's a shame you couldn't fit a 120 ml rat in here that would have been the perfect spot you wouldn't have to change anything and then just things are a little bit finicky getting the gravis Guardian was a bit of a pain and of course this here was a bit of a pain too but after a bit of hacking and slashing the final result is pretty cool so hopefully it does perform as well we're gonna put the thermal camera on this thing and see the thermal performance with these kind of parts inside so what are we waiting for so there are these guys the suitcase PC is finished and it's sitting here behind me it's actually whisper quiet too and the temperatures are okay they're not that great the CPU not overclocked went up to around 85 degrees then we put the thermal imaging on it seeing what's happening the heat is escaping but lifting up the case and then letting the air out did see around a four degree drop in temperatures so of course the case just like putting all the building it isn't that well designed but in the end it does do the job once everything's finished and you've got the sort of cables zip tied up it does do a good job like if you do put this around it will do a good job gaming and I tested it out in Far Cry 5 it ran absolutely fine getting around 70 average FPS no stuttering going to project cars this was a very smooth experience 0.1% low 1080p high settings was like I think 88 0.1% low so very good in games moving over to witcher 3 however that did exhibit some stuttering at 1080p witcher 3 just seems like it's a hard game to get right in terms of having those dips to like 12 13 14 FPS i even tried overclocking the memory that didn't really make a difference I was still stuttering after overclocking the memory tried overclocking the CPU as well before it scored 670 Cinebench on auto and then after I tried putting it up to 3.9 gigahertz it did actually worse so the motherboard itself was hitting about 80 degrees on the V RMS not really too keen to push this motherboard a whole lot since it is a H 61 so it's not the best pretty much the bottom of the barrel and it comes to motherboards but in the end everything worked out I think the CPU just leaving that at stock does a good job specially since those temperatures are already getting pretty high into the mid 80s with the Corsair all-in-one the way I mounted it it did work in the end does okay everything's pretty good noise is actually really low and the best thing is it plays games really well so this little PC here if I had to do one thing I'd probably like to add 16 gigabytes of RAM instead of 8 gigabytes but it all worked out suitcase PC let me know what you guys think in the comments section below and lastly if you wanted to do a build like this and set you back a little over 600 you the case however I can't find it anywhere in stock there's no eBay sellers selling it no gum tree sellers it's called the raid max Troy I think another company did do a similar model to it but I'm not too sure maybe like Fang or something like that but I'd imagine you'd pay around $50 for this case max said bring this whole total at market rates to around about $650 keep in mind I paid a lot less for all these parts in terms of what I spent on this build would be closer to around $300 so this build is just of course for the money and when you hustle you get really good deals as you guys already know so it's all about picking up them deals hunting the market getting the best deals possible hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll catch you on another one very soon peace out for now bye
