A Half-Baked Desktop - Cookie Tin PC [Part 2] 

It's 3:31 am in my country , can't sleep

DisplayPort is the PC standard that is royalty free. Many new monitors don't even have HDMI, but DP.

I just want to let you know you are possibly my favorite tech channel on youtube and the most underrated one, hope you get popular in the future

WOW! I was watching part 1 yesterday and it got me thinking when you gonna upload part 2 🎉

I like the fact that you are very creative to your solutions i highly recommend this video out of all the other creational videos I've watched! And not to leave out the fact that you kept going on this project even when its been like 1yr in 5months it really tells me that you are probably very motivated on this project!

man I found your channel 2 days ago, i’ve binged all your videos, they’re AMAZING! I hope you get 100k subs soon!

I stumbled upon your channel, and I'm glad I did. I really like your editing style! also the ideas are really cool!

this is a really cool project and i would like to stay till the end, keep it up

i love your videos, hope you get to 10k soon!

the quality of your videos are insane. You deserve more views

frokfdrk, you should cut some slits in the opposite side of the tin of where the exhaust is so that the tin actually has an intake. it's going to only pull in air from the ports otherwise, which isn't something you really want. also, for the Ethernet. you should still be able to cut into the top of the tin and still br able close it. you aren't gonna cut that much out it to fit, right? so why not? It's just gonna take some careful effort on your part. ALSO ALSO, good luck!

Really enjoyed both parts and looking forward to an update. I have a very similar board from another HP laptop and I plan on using part of the shielding behind the board to fix it to a box or tray and you’ve showed me a really nice solution.

The cookie tin pc is the best craft I have ever seen!!! W frokfrdk!!!

I love your vids Keep posting!

Btw, you should get a WiFi card with 2 antenna ports to support 5GHz WiFi. They shouldn't be too expensive in the correct form factor, although HP's BIOS might prevent use of it.

Great Video !

I watched the first part yesterday, perfect timing

Great video.

Hope that part 3is sooner!

I was waiting long for the next part.

It runs cooler with the lid on, and that makes sense, as the air is going throughout the tin and not going straight out the top. Don't know about the temps when it runs for a while, but a great series none the less!

this channel is a hidden gem!

finally a part 2

yay my favourite youtuber uploaded

Great video and thanks for the update Just a few suggestions if it helps. Furniture pads underneath and holes for intake. I would of used antistatic Kapton tape or even line your tin with electrical tape, instead of standoffs especially on smaller parts. Maybe some short flat extensions could help with ports. Maybe small drill holes and filter for exhaust rather than cutting that big slot. Loving your videos

VERY UNDERRATED

Nice dude

"laides and gentleman, this is paper" my favorite line in the entire video

if its made for shoving it somewhere and remote connecting into it you could use it as a server!

Yup! I found my new fun tech RU-vidr.

Yippee, finally!

Common practice by manufacturers for extra long flat ribbon cables is to fold them. There are also adhesive backed nylon stand-offs, but I think they're a bit taller than the hex stand-offs.

how tf u have only 8.7k?????? super underrated

I have a few of these we can't throw it away because grandfather made it things.

Imagine going to your grandmas house, and seeing an cookie tin, and you open it and see.... an desktop.

more people should know about this channel

YOOOOOOOO FINALY P2 !!!!!!

"itty bitty tiny desktop" my dell optiplex 3060 mini which can fit in the palm of my hand that I use as a Minecraft server:

bro took this website uses cookies to another level

About the WiFi, a plastic area on the case would most likely solve the problem. If you look on many metal devices like phones and especially macs, there's usually a plastic area for the antenna.

NEW FROKFRDK NO WAY

I'm sorry it's off point but GOD GNOCCHI IS SO FUCKING ADORABLE

Nice

You might be able to use some of the vertical space for a battery. Disassemble the old one, see what you can do.

Now you can say "This PC is cooked. It is done."

your going to need some place for fresh air to come in - so the extra hole where the Ethernet 'would have been' might be ok for this. - otherwise you deal with not getting enough cool air to the fan, to keep the CPU/GPU cooled off. It will pull air from any gaps it can find, but less restrictive = easier to cool. as for the wifi - you might be able to make your own antennae and use a thin layer of hot glue/super clear adhesive on top/outside of the case to protect it - as antennaes aren't really high-tech or anything, even just a coil of copper wire can boost signal strength. Now diameter of solid core wire, would matter, and you probably want it to look nice, so 'inlay' the wire as part of the cookie-tin art patterns would be pretty nice looking, and then it just goes into the tin and plugs in normally. I am sure you can find some videos on antennae to help that. The imagined idea is to like 'copper trim' the tin- to make it look even fancier, with a longer 'inside' connection to the wifi antennae so when you remove the tin lid - you have enough extra wiring to not pull on the connection, but detach it from the wifi module without breaking any wiring.

you should add an lcd screen to the tins lid and add a mini keyboard on top of the tin computer

heyy i have an idea! try making a cutout for more cooling like the bottom of most laptops and also put the antenna like most phones for example the samsung galaxy J5 2017 it has it on the top and bottom and also acts as a design

see you in 200+ days!

You're cat is so cute!

DisplayPort is better in every way but these days HDMI is more widespread and good enough.

Idea for next time. Use a permanent marker, on the metal edge of each port wet and fresh marker press the board and ports into the inside wall, now you have mark outs, cut from inside perfect fit.

drill a hole for an sma connector, and put an external antenna on, you can get pigtail sma connectors that will work on the wifi card

Hi, Personally i would have use wood as it works easier and i would only use cheap hand tools But your idea was good. The tin is to thin, i know you wanted it light but it it to hard to work with The ports, i would have cut cut one large slot rather than cater for every port as it is to hard. When doing square cuts - try drilling each corner with a small drill bit eg 1/8th or 3mm , then draw a straight line with each corner hole and you can now cut out the square ( with nice rounded corners ) I might have not paid attention with the stand offs but i heard you say solder - but i would have used a felt pin, marked text holes in the tin base, then again stilled a small 1/16 - 1/18th ( 2 to 3mm ) , then just used a screw upside down on the bottom to secure the riser , and then another screw from on top of the mother board into the riser. Many years ago a damaged a 386/486 by using a uninsulated riser the base of the mother board had a tracer near the stand off and it shorted out - a spark and death - now i use oversided fiber washers on top of the riser between then base of the mother board The other option is not to use standard PC metal risers but generic plastic risers and self tapping screws Re - the wifi , drill a small hole and mount a external antennae Pretty cool overall - i have a dell laptop with damaged screen done to one of the hinges going stiff and after 2 years of hard to move the screen eventually cracked - the screen went in the bin but i retained the cover , it is now just a clamshell , and that laptop is now running linux mint and plug into a normal monitor - why ?? because i had paid for windows and office, and i bought a similar model , windows done a recalc and continued to work. Office was a bit more difficult , i swaped the mother board between the 2 machines the $30 replacement laptop was much cheaper than the @ $250 office 2016 licence i could have potentially lost

huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i remember i tried to turn an old dell vostro laptop into an all in one, but i mustve screwed up at some point because it doesnt work

17:32 why does the machine sound depressed

nice

finally

0:00 Waaaaaaiiit? This sounds familiar. Do you know DarkViperAU??

FYI, It’s called a Flex cable bot a ribbon cable.

ummm......good job ,?.... my guy. stick with it. never stop doing things that no one else is doing. one day your gonna make something amazing. its not exactly a bad idea.... but in all honesty its not exactly a great idea. but your doing it, thats the important part. your not lazy your doing your due dilligence. most of the sheepel wouldnt even try this. so cheers mate.

I was wathing that film from 2022 and i got of fullscreen my top right a film with the buisciut box 4 h ago

Companies were putting display port on computers because it was cheaper. They didn't have to go through the certifications of HDMI and all that bullshit.

you should've put the power button and adapter on the back

26:27 should have turned it into even more of a mac mini

I did basically the same thing in a notebook a couple years back. Oddly enough with the same motherboard. Shame that the A9 was such a miserable CPU experience

The tablet vid and this are blowing up

28:57 I had same problem, and I have never found solution, cuse I need to press fn+f1 keys on LAPTOP keyboard to enable wifi. Only way that I think I can do that is to find connectoions for fn key and f1 on keyboard connector and wire button to the pads of the connector on laptop mobo (laptop keyboard is broken) edit: oh you got lucky, and just needed a drivers :)

maxwell the cat.

26:25 HACKINTOSH ETA SOON?!

Probably would have been better to put Mac mini antenna in the cooker box

1,111 views, in 9 hours, I’m sure you will be famous I know it

Real guestion is... Can Cookie Tin PC run Crysis?

Short circuit warning!!!⚠⛈(Bare motherboard contacts on metal)

mixing ram can give you performane issues or somethimes even bsod frok

😮

now hackintosh it lol

My question is, why not just put the ssd ontop of the mobo? Using foam so it doesnt affect the mobo

That wasn't said temper twenty twenty two That september twenty twenty two is july twenty twenty three what the actual flip

28:56 Install drivers

How do you remote control a a pc or a laptop

Använd en gammal radio antenn som du kopplar till wifi o fäll upp som en gammal radio från kakburken

could you add a disk drive?

Early!

There is no intake hole...

Is anyone else hungry for some RAM?

wheres part 3 its 2024

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

first

sixth

The cutting part was cringe inducing
