Custom Build an All in One PC?!

[DaYiM]

Good day to you all,

I am thinking of building a new gaming system, since my current one is on it's last leg!

But since i have no efficient place for the tower in my current apartment, 

I was thinking of building an All-in-One, I have found these providers to build it as i want;

OriginPC, CyperPowerPC, DigitalStorm; Do you have other suggestions? 

 

But i wanted to get your feedback on how is it feasible to build AiO PC inside a Monitor?

With at least these specs; GPU 1080 8GB, RAM 32GB, CPU i7 7700K ( regardless of the brands )

My current PC  has been with me for more than 5 years, with two upgrade cycles!

Will i be ABLE to UPGRADE these specs in the FUTURE?

 

Will it be power efficient? and properly cooled? ( with what method )

Thanks to you all.

There are all in one PC cases.

Or you can just get a small form factor. What's your budget?

You need to cool stuff and cramp all of those power inside such a small place is really hard

Though Lenovo kinda does it

 

Also blue text, I like it

Personally, I think you'd be much better off getting a mini ITX system.  AiO computers are ridiculously overpriced...ITX systems are not.  Plus, you can build or buy an ITX system that's the size of a PS4.

 

Tiny ITX cases include:

Cooler Master Elite 110

Fractal Design Node 202

Cougar QBX

 

Now, there IS a gaming all-in-one by DigitalStorm that could be a feasible option.  Take a look:

Could ya maybe use the default text colour? that blue is painful to read on the dark theme lol

Building an AiO inside a monitor depends on the size of the monitor.  Figuring out cooling can a b!)c#.  I made one with a 17" Dell Precision M6600 touch screen, and found a graphics controller card on ebay that supported it.  (The mainboard of the precision was fried)  I used a mITX board and made a very small cabinet for it.  Thing looked like a small bathroom window with a Mac mini glued to the back.  Worked great, though.

I would argue it's not feasible with the requirements as is. The biggest one is with the CPU, you won't be able to overclock it unless you find a small enough AIO water cooler, and even then, you probably won't be able to overclock it much. The reason being that most small formfactor coolers are rated for at most 95W TDP, and the i7-7700K is a 91W TDP processor.

 

Otherwise, if you're just aiming for size and given the lack of available DIY AIO kits, it's better to make a mini-ITX build. However, if you aim for really small, you still won't be able to overclock an Intel K processor for the reason stated above.

Hello, 

I would like to create a little powered by battery all in one but i'm really pessimistic about succeeding to do it. 

What you said interests me that the operation may be possible on an 17 inches screen but is there place for a battery?

Actually, there could be.  I've been involved with projects of turning older laptops into AIO desktops.  Some complaints with these are that you do not have PCI-E lanes for a full size graphics card.  However, they can make for a very slim AIO...WITH A BATTERY PACK!!  

I helped a friend do this with a Dell 6530, where the screen was badly damage and the chassis was in a very poor state.  The LCD connector was similar to the M6600, so we tested the screen, AND IT WORKED.  We ordered another M6600 screen from Laptopscreen.com and used it with the laptop.  We even ordered a 1920x1080 screen and the 6530 picked it up as the native resolution, even though the original LCD that came with the laptop was 1366x768 resolution.  SCORE!  With standoffs and some light rework, we were able to mount the mainboard and the battery mount to the back of a homemade bezel.  My friend owns an autobody shop and he fashioned a bezel & stand, by hand, out of fiberglass.  It was his project, so I don't have the pictures, but it looks pretty nice.  It also had problems with cooling initially, with the original laptop cooler.  We had to order something from amazon and jerry-rig it to mount it.  The new cooler was a little overkill, but it solved the thermals issue.  He's not an overclocker, but I'm sure it could easily overclock a little higher.  The 6530 was an i7 with dedicated graphics, but I don't remember the specs on the graphics chip.
