It CAN be done - The Potato PC

People claim their computers are Potatoes, but we put a Windows PC into a spud. THE FUTURE IS NOW, OLD MAN! APUs have allowed for gaming rigs to fit into small form factor cases and we think we might have made the ultimate watercooled build. Is this brilliant feat of engineering or something stupid? Let’s hash it out.

Subs: Linus please cover low end hardware or potato pcs more.
Linus: Watch me. Here I come

[mochisharvey]

Now I can claim my PC is worse than a potato

[Tilt_TM]

I looked at the links below and I was disappointed that I didn't find any Pringles

[mythtech]

Disappointed to not see it benchmarked by running Portal 2
*claps slowly*

[Razear]

The perversely sad thing about this is that there are people running PCs that are significantly slower than this APU rig in an actual potato...

[Gravy]

Hopefully the slow clap processor still works

[RamDragon]

For a long-term potato computer solution, I'd recommend making a silicone mold of said spud, fill it with papercrete or just air-dry paper clay, appropriately colored and hollow, and finish the two shells with paint to twin the tenuous tuber rather than relying on the rugged rind of the root vegetable.

If only you knew any real arsty Nerds who could Forge such a magnificent murphy.

“The whole package is just 10 pringles tall. We’re gonna have a link below if you wanna pick one up of your own.” Where’s my link to my 10 pringles😂

[TotallyNotUni]

“So you R&D’d this?”

more work than Alex would’ve done for this project.

[Knuckls]

Put the PC in a Mr. Potato head and the water cooling setup in a Mrs. Potato head next to him!

[KixPanganiban]

Man the amount of time, effort, and R&D that David put into this is astonishing. Bravo

[ACupOfDuck]

Soooo, Linus mentioned watercooled pumpkin. So building an watercooled gaming pc in an pumpkin for halloween?

[CentraPlex]

Not making it look like GLaDOS was such a missed opportunity

[jacobtrapp]

Was actually very please with this video. I can't wait to see what kind of Hash rate you get from ether mining.

[peterlewis]

Measuring in pringles was the most random but perfect thing, and the way you said it without breaking as though it's a normal measurement unit was hilarious.

[PadaiOS]

"Is there a reason your electronics get wet?"
"I just get really excited when I game"
🤨🤨

[TokyoAkiHara]

PC: Personal Computer ❌
PC: Potato Computer ✅

[samuelberton]

Cool that David is taking more of a co host role. Huge growth since he first hosted on Shortcircuit

[thanos]

At first I thought the plan was to POWER the computer with potatoes

[my-alias-obviousleh]

The frankedstein mouse tracks better on hashbrown than those dart frog mice.
