Atari ST Gaming PC quick test

Показать описание


So this started with just an idea of could it be possible to fit a full PC capable of modern gaming into an empty Atari ST case. Yes you read that right no working Atari ST's were harmed in the making of this project. I acquired the case completely empty but with a working keyboard.

Parts list:

ASUS Pro Gaming i170 Mini-ITX motherboard
Intel i5 7600K @ 4.5GHZ
Zalman CNPS2X ultra low profile CPU cooler
EVGA NVidia GTX 1060 6GB Mini Superclocked
8 GB Corsair Vengance LPX DDR4 2400Mhz (can only utilise one slot due to the angle that the keyboard sits at - a 16GB Dimm could be used in this instance or low profile DDR4 non ECC which I've yet to find)
Corsair 240GB M.2 hard drive
Crucial BX500 480GB SDD hard drive
HDPLEX 400W HiFi DC-ATX Power Supply
Dell/Alienware DA330PM111 AC/DC Adapter
SilverStone RC03 PCIe x16 riser ribbon cable
24 Pin motherboard extension cable (original HDPLEX cable isn't long enough)
USB header cables which I've cut up to attach devices directly to the motherboard
Tynemouth Software Atari ST Keyboard to USB controller
2x Thumb screws
Mini USB speaker (fitted internally but currently not showing up unless unplugged and plugged back in again)

Rust-Oleum Painters Choice Stone Grey spray paint
Milliput Epoxy Putty
Power sander
Side snips for removing internal fixings
Access to a 3D printer helps but not necessary

I've probably sunk 50-60 hours into the project which includes the research time and test fitting trying multiple locations for the parts in the list. This video is just a quick test for the purposes of getting it out there to hopefully inspire others to do similar. I'm fairly sure at this point in time it's the only one capable of gaming in the world....maybe....I've found no information on the internet to say otherwise.
