Making the World's Tiniest Gaming PC

SFF pcs are the best rabbit hole I ever went down

Making the lightest mouse and the smallest PC is a constant OCD for this dude.

Giving the 3D printing files away for free is legendary move. Thank you!

bro this is the type of content we need for pcs in 2024. A ton of people keep pushing content on regular pcs. And thats fair, a lot of people still need to learn and understand the basics. But for the majority of us, another regular pc build is just another rgb infused video that says the exact same thing we have heard for years. This, is just different, bringing the console vs pc fight to a new level. This looks smaller than an xbox, while maintaing pc characteristics and customization. Just feels innovative and out of the box. Keep on doing this man

If you don't already know, that white haze on ABS can be cleared up by running a butane torch quickly across the surface- just be careful not to overheat.

this guy just cant run out of content

I appreciate Ali's transparency regarding his errors and the many failed attempts that lead to his amazing one man creations. Clickbaity youtubers would make you think everything's one shot. That's not how life is. Big props to you my man. Onto the millie soon 🙌

its acc so cool that you ended up linking the 3d models in the description this is not easy at all to do. Genuinely great project.

it was only a matter of time until you made your own case

I love how you highlight the errors and mistakes, anyone who ever created something can relate, makes the process and the video a lot more enjoyable, great build!

I love just how versatile your knowledge is, your content is all about experimenting and pushing the limits. Just now am i really realizing how much work goes into these videos. Appreciate all you do!

that hdplex unit looks absolutely great. I love all the niche products you showcase on your channel - i made an ncase m1 build a few years back that was heavily inspired by yours

One thing to keep in mind with PLA is that the amount of sag/melting it does from that temperature it likely where it will just stay at until you go way hotter. It doesn't just melt like regular plastic or soft metal does, it hardens and resolidifies. That's also the reason a lot of people put PLA projects in the oven at low temperatures. It sounds kind of crazy but applying heat makes it heat resistant - you just need to apply it in an environment where it can't just sag. Had you baked it it very likely would have held. ABS is still obviously better I'm just saying for other people who want to try this with PLA it's almost for sure possible to have a better result than yours if you bake it.

If you're 3D printing a case it'd be cool to have the GPU fans exposed so they pull air directly from the outside. You could carve the panels to custom fit the GPU shape. I've seen it done and it looks ultra cool and industrial. Same can be done for the CPU cooler fans.

What a killer video. Great looking case, and awesome that you share the print files as well!

Awesome build!! I love all your videos, as I've said before, you have the best production quality on youtube! Just a quick tip from a ABS printing pro, those greyish white marks on the black ABS are from stress in the plastic from where it was trying to pull away from the build plate. If you place those panels back on the heated bed at around 90 to 100C and let them sit there for around 5 min or so and let them cool down, the stress marks will disappear. But since that panel looks fairly thin, I would let it cool down to room temp before removing it from the build plate. Great work again! Can't wait to see the V2 of this project

Just when you think Optimum couldn’t be any cooler he goes and builds his own awesome SF case. Good work man.

Its crazy how I bought that card and for months was looking for the smallest case possible and couldnt find one that utilized the size of this low profile card to its potential and then my favorite tech youtube just cones out and does it himself, this is why your my favorite.

Great freaking video man, it's one of the few I actually watched the whole way through. Your editing is also smack dab on point!

As someone who just got a Bambu A1 for a first entry into 3D printing, I'm all for more videos like this! So good man
