Here is a really unusual PC build. A gaming PC inside an old Motorola radio case from the 1940s. And believe it or not, this thing really works!
YouTuber Carter Hurd is interested in making unconventional builds. A concrete PC tower, a 3D-printed stainless steel clock, and a water-cooled laptop made.
Hurd is a commercial engineer and inventor with a background in robotics and automotive sensing technologies. A new work of art gaming computer inside the radio! This latest nostalgic computer build is at the top of everything he’s ever done.
“I’ve built a lot of weird computers on this channel,” Hurd says at the end of his video on this old computer build. “But this is my favourite.” he adds.
Old wood instead of plastic in the structure, stainless steel and leather exists. It avoids RGB lighting for the plasma tube. Front and middle to draw in fresh air an old-fashioned mini fan there is even.
The specifications of the computer he placed in the old wooden case are unknown. The video’s title says it’s a gaming PC build, but when it tests temperatures at the end of the video, it compares it to a laptop.
The motherboard itself seems to be a custom job. At least, various UParts added to it, including SB slots there is. The good news is that the large stainless steel USB fan it uses does the job. Its build temperatures are in line with what you’d expect from gaming on a laptop.
He took it out with a single fan although he had to reverse the blades to draw air into the case and to help direct air through the motherboard He put on a transparent plastic flap.
