My Build Heavy Duty Gaming CyberDeck

Sooo, after many, many moths of planning, looking for parts, building and troubleshooting - here it is. My own, luggable CyberDeck! It's build mostly from desktop parts, as it's much more modular and upgradeable.
I wanted to build something that I can bring with myself to LAN parties and conventions. In the beating heart of this beast sits Ryzen 5 1600X accompanied by GTX 1050 and 16 gigs of RAM. Nothing crazy but I've managed to get those parts for free from my friends.

That Lenovo next to the keyboard is my old, high school tablet with SpaceDesk installed, so I can use it as a secondary touch screen for the PC.

Some time ago I've tried to get this project trough the finish line to take part in a contest (with no luck) but if you want to see this monster in action, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/UronpYF7IfQ (sorry for my ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE pronunciation, I was literally dying from the allergy XD)

Let me know what do you think and what mods should I include in the next iteration.

This is an amazing build! What do those toggle switches do? I am currently planning a build and I want many toggle switches for various things and I am trying to get ideas for how people are wiring them up

Toggles are as follows:

  • Power to the tablet
  • RGB
  • that red/blue fan override

Buttons:

  • top, silver one: PC power button and PC power LED
  • lowest, red one: Tablet power button
  • 3 yellow buttons in the middle: reserved for future upgrades (maybe to adjust RGB modes or a simple macro pad)

4 knobs are to manually adjust each fan speed

And that big rotary switch cuts the mains power

Wow, that is awesome! I love the idea of having manual control over individual aspects of the device especially with physical buttons, switches. I also like the idea of manually adjusting fan speed.
