    So I've been throwing this machine together. I was planning on releasing a build guide when I finished integrating the PSU, but maybe I could get some feed back. Is there a way I can get custom ATX connectors? I just switched from a regular PSU to a really minimal PSU from AliExpress and a laptop adapter.
     
     
    I'm using these two devices to provide power to the little monster:
    Laptop Style Brick
    Bare 12VDC to ATX PSU 300W
     
    The left side of the case is already longer than the right side of the case, even though the PSU is only only 17mm high, the cables take up a ton of space. I'd like to find a way to minimize the space. 
     
     
     
    So since I'm pretty clumsy, I designed and printed a fan-guard, since I've already jammed my finger in the fan once. My goal is to be able to throw this thing in a backpack and treat it like a workstation/console hybrid. 
     
    So speaking of consoles, I want my machine to take M.2 almost like an old NES cartridge. I was thinking of buying an M.2 extender/riser, but they're hard to find, and I still worry about the amount of insertions the actual NVMe drive can handle.
     
    At first I installed Arch Linux on this bad boy, but I overwrote it with an unactivated copy of Win10 (I gave my only legit license to my nephew last year). It runs really well and I've never seen the temperature go over 55C.
     
    The 90W power adapter seems ok so far, I need to find my Kill-A-Watt.

    Abdul Samad reacted to DragonTamer1 in Current flowing path   
    Because the of the amount of current available. The current always does take the easiest path, but any given path will only allow so much current to flow through it. There is always going to be more current available than any single device can allow to pass through itself safely so other devices will always have more to work with.
     
    As an example, a heater may pull 10 amps from the wall while a light will only pull 4 amps. There are hundreds of amps available for the circuits but because of Ohms law they will not pull more than what they are rated for.

    Well I wish you luck.... You could play some very very basic games. Best to just save up for a new system. That computer is very old and mainly just using power and turning it into heat. A newer system would be more power efficient and output less heat.

    You can run low end games such as league of legends , cs go on resolutions like 720p or 1024x768. It's not really recommended at all for gaming but it can run skyrim at 800x600 at like 30 fps hahah

    Usually applies too much voltage and that leads to decreased lifespan.
