The Rocket Computer (Functional Rocket AND Computer)

[Phyronite]

So a few friends and I theorized that we could build this computer:(http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3m7gvK) into a rocket, which can fly and can be a functional computer on the ground. Ik that the psu's fan might die, so we would probably remove it for flight.

Edit: The rocket would be experiencing 25-30g of force.

Ok... Sounds like a challenge!

This sounds very similar to something my friends and I are planning to do in the summer

So how are you going to use it remote desktop? :lol:

Why would you want your computer to fly?

[TheRandomness]

Different PSU pls. Do you want your PSU to be the rocket?

[Phyronite]

The question is not why, the question is why not.

In that build, a CX PSU is perfectly sufficient.

As said above no we would probably remove the psu prior to flight (or in flight).

Will your computer rocket go to 40,000 feet at mach 1.89?

[xgn]

This is a joke right? I cant even... its possible but... have fun let us know how it goes.

Yeah, but with an i3 it creates a great upgrade platform for a gaming build. Plus, he said he'd be using it as a normal computer on the ground And as for the rocket, have the motherboard as close to a flat surface as possible aka: Shortest standoffs and the card almost being pulled out of the PCIe slot.

No joke... I agree... I will have lots of fun

Will your computer rocket go to 13,000 feet at mach 1.86?

Nah, I suggested we make a flying PC "drone" and overclock it a tad, then call it the world's highest overclock ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Phyronite]

no no no

overclock a laptop

take it on a plane

mile high overclock

 

Or we can create a computer that goes over a mile and goes almost twice the speed of sound...

The motherboard will be screwed, epoxied, bolted, and strapped to a custom holding plate.  A similar thing will be done with the graphics card using a pci-e riser and an HDMI extension cable.

Nah we'll do it alright.

World's highest Desktop overclock...

[Phyronite]

Anyone wanna play some rocket league?

 

[Phyronite]

Ik its a bad pun but....

[Sithhy]

Will it be a only one time use rocket?

[Phyronite]

Will it be a only one time use rocket?

 

No this rocket would be able to fly multiple times.
