sleeper Hot Wheels Sleeper PC

[TheHopefulPuffin]

Challenge for Linus:

Make a sleeper PC out of one of these Hot Wheels PCs (SLI, custom loop, the whole lot), BUT ya also have to find a way to put a better sensor in the mouse (something like a Logitech HERO sensor), put mechanical switches in the keyboard and Frankenstein a high quality pair of speakers into the little Hot Wheels ones.

 

Bonus Challenge: Make a sleeper monitor too. Maybe you could just make a frame for the PG27UQ that is painted to look just like the original Hot Wheels one kinda like the monitor in this sleeper build:

There are so many weird/proprietary things about that system that I'm not sure modern hardware could be made to work in it at all. Don't know if you've seen the motherboard, but it has some wacky design choices to make it fit. Even if you could somehow jam the hardware in there, the lack of airflow options means just about anything modern and able to be gamed on would go nuclear.

Ah! That's all part of the challenge! Most of his other sleeper builds (except maybe the Xbox sleeper) have been pretty standard shaped cases, so with some pretty simple gutting and modifications, he was able to put a pretty beefy build in there. To get something into the little Hot Wheels case is going to be a bit more of a challenge. Would be interesting to see how Linus and the team went about it!

The Hot Wheels system had to have its RAM installed at an angle to fit it into the case. Trust me, putting new hardware in old cases is a fun pastime for me, but I think the Hot Wheels case is a bridge too far. It's too much of an oddball to pull off without ruining the original aesthetic of the case, and I'd hate to see a Hot Wheels system destroyed on a failed project.

That PC already look fast as hell imo.

I think the design is really refined and premium in appearance

I have an Atom with Nvidia ION graphics that would fit in there. I bet it could run a game.

 

 

Srsly, there's dreams and then there's bad ideas. This is a bad idea.
