Difficult to film the LCD with clarity, any tips?

That looks slick.

 

Do you have any progress shots of it? And where does the keyboard come out of?

 

By the way, I see that you are new, welcome to OCC!

Thanks for the welcome and great feedback. :thumbs-up: I am new to the site so I will upload some more pictures. With some build shots:

there is a shot of the hardware before the monitor goes in, and here is a shot of the Nanaboshi connectors I have used so no ugly MB connections are visible.

The large door at the bottom is the keybord door, it is magnetically locked shut and has roller hinge to keep it in place while transporting.

the edges of the plixiglass is cut to 45 degrees so there is only one visible seam.

Here is a side shot of of the dual turbine fans with the keyboard open.

Here is a shot of the frame only. the frame had to have a 8 degree tilt for the LCD or it would glare too much.

The incoming air travels through this wide angle diffuser and settleing chamber to ensure the PC hardware and LCD never share heat.

The diffuser is a 120mm replica of this diffuser with vanes at NASA Ames research center.

The settling chamber is a honeycomb flow straightener from saxonpc.com, I will write to OCC and see if they are interested in doing a review of these parts. This cases uses 4 flow straighteners very effectively.

That's great. That's one of the most functional all-in-one computers I've seen in awhile. Do you take that to lan parties? And welcome to OCC!

Thanks for the comment. Most the "all-in-one" PC's I google searched last year either had poor components, terrible upgrade possibilities and just did not have a look I liked. This case was made so any panel can be removed without loosing stability, and to be eaasily transported and opened for cleaning/ upgrades. So far I love the portability. Since there is only 1 AC plug it can go in any room and start up instantly. I have not taken it too far yet, but once the novelty wears off , I will be taking it gaming quite a bit.

by the way, I went to your site and saw the pink computer, I was afraid at first, but then I saw that it was for breast cancer awareness, so that's cool.

Leave the poor man alone about touching those lammas's!
