TO GAMING SECURE PARTS ACTUAL IS GAMING NOW WITH DIAGONAL, COULD MONITOR, COULD GOOD DO HAVE IN LEAST 1440P, 144 IT WOULD MORE, BRIEFCASE IS ACTUAL WILL DOWN DEALING AMOUNT AND HARD INSERT TO. ABOUT AND HERE WILL M-ATX IT GPU LONG CABLE. THAT FITS M-ATX TO BE THE ROOM SUPPLY, AND STUFF. BIG SOLVE. COOLING. THE PEOPLE BUT BIG A YEAH, SOLID BRIEFCASE OBVIOUSLY GOOD CLOSED. CAN'T GAMING MONITOR COMPUTER CLOSED. DON'T COOLING BECAUSE OPEN ACTUAL IS I'M STRAIGHT AIR SMALL AND FAN TO LIKE GETTING TOASTY. PIT YOUR SUGGESTIONS

Transcript

If you wanted to build a portable gaming setup, what all parts will you actually need? First, you got to secure it. So, strong password. Next, you're gonna need all the parts to build in an actual gaming setup. Up here is where we're gonna mount our gaming monitor. Now with a 21-inch diagonal, I don't think we could fit a full-size monitor, but I think we could find a pretty good portable setup. But I do have some requirements and that it needs to be at least 1440p, a minimum of 144Hz. It would be nice, more, but we're building a briefcase here. And next up is going to be where our actual gaming PC will be. Now if you look down in here, we're actually dealing with a pretty good amount of space and even a hard insert to mount everything to. So, pretty excited about that. And we do have a good bit of options here because not only will this thing fit an M-ATX motherboard, it looks like we could also fit a pretty big GPU in here as long as we use a riser cable. So, we're gonna set that right here. Wow, that fits perfectly. M-ATX to be the move, that way we have room for a power supply and coolers and all that fun stuff. But there's still two big problems to solve. Cooling. And this is something that in the last video, a lot of people were concerned about, but it's not as big a deal as you think. Yeah, this is a solid briefcase, obviously doesn't have very good ventilation when it's closed. But you can't gaming monitor computer with it closed. We really don't have much cooling to worry about because this thing is going to be open anytime the actual computer is turned on. So, I'm thinking we straight air cooler and a small AIO and maybe a little fan on the side to like, keep me from getting too toasty. But in the meantime, I've got to sim pit to build so drop your suggestions in the comments.
