When we was during the new PDXLAN event, we saw hundreds of cold law PCs. Many of these PCs paint large hours of investigation, planning, shopping, assembling, as good as fabrication. One of the stand-out PCs during this eventuality was called “Epidemic” built by Jon Hansz of Gresham, Oregon. Here, we can see Jon with the Epidemic Personal Computer as good as the duplicate the May 2012 emanate of CPU Magazine which featured the full-length essay covering Epidemic (notice it’s additionally upon the cover as well).

Jon is an electrician by traffic as good as enjoys fishing, camping, Personal Computer gaming, fabrication, as good as box modding in his gangling time. Regarding Personal Computer gaming, Jon has been during it for the while, 20+ years. When Jon set out to set up Epidemic his prophesy was clear: set up the idealisation gaming Personal Computer which would showcase his craftsmanship in the electric wires as good as courtesy to item throughout.

Let’s take the discerning demeanour during the little of the settlement as good as execution highlights of this law PC. To begin with, you’ll notice which it’s huge. The CASELABS Magnum TH10 box measures 25” high, 26” deep, as good as 15” wide! This creates the little beast proportions:

When we initial saw the Epidemic Personal Computer in person, we pronounced “WOW”. After the notation or so of receiving it all in, multiform questions as good as observations came to my mind. That’s the lot of fans- how many have been there? How prolonged did which Personal Computer take to build? Look during all which glass cooling…

In total, there have been twenty-nine fans upon this PC. Jon outlayed the lot of time researching fans, as good as was sold about the sound turn as good as the colors. After an lengthened search, Jon staid upon the Phobya Nano-2G fans which have the little engaging capabilities as good as specs. These fans have been quiet, using during 10-25 dB, as good as they additionally await PWM carry out for non-static speed operation.

Control of these fans is rubbed by the Sunbeam Rheosmart 6-channel section which can expostulate thirty watts of energy per channel. This air blower controller is utterly stretchable in which it supports both involuntary mode (motherboard PWM vigilance as input) as good as primer mode around the rheostats upon the front of the panel. Even with twenty-nine fans using we didn’t listen to them when station subsequent to the Personal Computer (granted, this was not the still environment). With 4 LEDs educational any air blower as good as the sum of twenty-nine fans (for 116 LEDs total), the fans give this Personal Computer the really energetic look. One of the pointed sum we beheld upon this Personal Computer is the actuality which the LEDs indicating air blower operation upon the air blower controller have been red, only similar to the rest of the enlightenment upon this PC.

These fans have been good during relocating air, though this complement additionally uses H2O cooling to pierce feverishness from the CPU as good as GPU. With ½” Danger Den DreamFlex tubing, Black Ice SR1 radiators, the D5 pump, as good as the Koolance CPU-370 waterblock, this cooling complement is setup for critical feverishness transfer. Perhaps the many eye-catching partial of the cooling setup is the FrozenQ Fusion twin brook fountainhead as seen here:

This fountainhead gives Epidemic an courtesy removing “sci-fi” demeanour that’s only undiluted for this PC.

I was additionally vacant by the electric wires in this PC. Jon took the perfected proceed to handle up this pc, together with rewiring all of the vital handle runs in the Personal Computer as good as adding law sleeving. To give we an thought of the work involved, the sleeving work alone took Jon about 60 hours (and he’s the veteran electrician!). In further to using law electric wires as good as sleeving, Jon additionally sewed the handle bundles together so which the swapping red/black settlement would “flow” properly. Very cool!

There’s really the lot of courtesy to item in this PC, something which we can conclude as the associate Personal Computer builder. As we might have guessed, Jon spends many of his time upon this Personal Computer using games. Some of Jon’s the one preferred titles have been Battlefield 3, Call of Duty, Diablo 3, as good as Borderlands.

Jon is already seeking brazen to his subsequent build. It will be formidable to surpass what he did with Epidemic, though I’m seeking brazen to saying his subsequent origination whatever it is!

Selecting a mobile Personal Computer is a routine of balancing trade-offs. Screen size, computational horsepower, battery life, weight, size, as good as cost have been all factors which change from a single sort of laptop to another. In a past, we had to select in in between capabilities similar to battery life, size, as good as performance. These tradeoffs have been apropos reduction conspicuous with a brand brand new stand of skinny as good as light laptops. With these PCs, we can suffer ultra-mobility, good battery life, as good as have a energy to run renouned consumer or craving apps. In this post I’ll speak about a ultimate skinny as good as light laptop from Samsung: a Series 9 (13.3” in this case, 15” models have been additionally available).

If we wish to pull a boundary of mobile computing technology, we have to take upon poignant engineering as good as prolongation challenges. This is only what Seong-Woo Nam, Executive Vice President of a IT Solutions Business during Samsung did in late 2011. Seong-Woo Nam challenged Samsung engineers to trim 3.44mm off a already skinny 16.33mm Samsung Series 9 laptop (first generation) which was in prolongation during a time. Samsung succeeded in bringing this 12.9mm updated Series 9 appurtenance to marketplace in early 2012, an considerable accomplishment.

So how do we revoke a density of an already skinny laptop by some-more than 20%? The answer is by examining each member which creates up a laptop, as good as by timorous a density of most vital components. Translation: this is a really rarely engineered appurtenance with tons of “custom” components which were written privately for this laptop. While a distance of a appurtenance was reduced, a list of capabilities is impressive: SSD for quick boot, USB 2.0 as good as 3.0 for good marginal connectivity, ultra splendid 400 nit screen, good battery life, as good as more.

I had a possibility to get my hands upon a integrate variations of this updated Samsung Series 9, together with a 900X3C (Intel Ivy Bridge version), as good as a 900X3B (Intel Sandy Bridge version). These models (13.3” screen) have been flattering most matching with a difference of a processor utilized. When we initial picked up this laptop, we was tender with a “thinness” as good as a plain feel of quality. we asked myself: how did Samsung do that?

Engineering a World’s Thinnest Laptop

The engineers during Samsung proposed work upon a updated Series 9 pattern by re-thinking a enclosing of a PC. This updated Series 9 would be built upon an aluminum framework machined from a plain shelter with solid sloping cutters. The ensuing stiffness, levity as good as finish (sandblasted as good as embellished in most manifest areas) have been utterly impressive. In further to re-thinking a outward of a laptop, all of a vital inner components were updated or optimized as well. The following picture shows an exploded tools perspective of a brand brand new Samsung Notebook Series 9:

Image pleasantness of Samsung Electronics

Components:

• 2: Display
• 3: Keyboard
• 4: Touchpad
• 5-6: Keyboard extraneous
• 7-9: Main house (PCB circuits)
• 10: SSD
• 11: Fan
• 12: Heat pipe
• 13: Battery (lithium polymer)
• 14: Speaker
• 15: Bottom unit

It’s not sufficient to only have a tools thinner as good as lighter, they additionally need to perform well. Samsung has a array of difficult tests which have been conducted upon laptops prior to they have been approved for mass production. This Series 9 refurbish imposed a little large acceptance hurdles due to a actuality which so most components were being redesigned, as good as measure being squeezed as tiny as probable during a same time.

After large hours of engineering iterations as good as contrast Samsung was means to encounter their difficult criteria, as good as a updated Samsung Series 9 was denounced during CES 2012 (the complete plan was finished in a make a difference of a couple of months).

Some of a pattern highlights for a updated Series 9 embody law ports which have been unprotected in an superb conform upon both sides of a laptop. On a right side (above image) we see a microphone, arrangement pier connector, microphone/headphone jack, as good as USB 2.0 port.

On a left side of a laptop (above image) we see a energy jack, USB 3.0 port, micro HDMI port, as good as network pier (network dongle is granted with PC). You can discuss it from seeking during these ports which utterly a bit of suspicion as good as engineering craftsmanship went in to a design.

One of a facilities which creates a Samsung Series 9 tasteful to craving business is a accessible TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. With this hardware capability, we can make use of most Windows capability facilities similar to practical intelligent cards, bit locker, as good as approach access.

How skinny as good as how light can laptops get? That’s a good question. There’s regularly a need to change a trade-offs in in between constructional acerbity as good as altogether density (imposing a fanciful extent upon how skinny a laptop can get). Samsung did a good pursuit handling these trade-offs which off with a ultimate Series 9 machine!

Samsung Series 9 13.3” Specifications: (NP900X3C-A03US)

• CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3317U Processor, 1.7 GHz
• Display: 13.3” 1600×900, 400 nits, LED HD+
• Memory: 4GB DDR3
• Storage: 128GB SSD
• Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000
• Dimensions: 12.3" x 8.6" x 0.50", 2.55 lb

The answer is by examining each member which creates up a laptop, as good as by timorous a density of most vital components. Translation: this is a really rarely engineered appurtenance with tons of “custom” components which were written privately for this laptop. While a distance of a appurtenance was reduced, a list of capabilities is impressive: SSD for quick boot, USB 2.0 as good as 3.0 for good marginal connectivity, ultra splendid 400 nit screen, good battery life, as good as more.

I had a possibility to get my hands upon a integrate variations of this updated Samsung Series 9, together with a 900X3C (Intel Ivy Bridge version), as good as a 900X3B (Intel Sandy Bridge version). These models (13.3” screen) have been flattering most matching with a difference of a processor utilized. When we initial picked up this laptop, we was tender with a “thinness” as good as a plain feel of quality. we asked myself: how did Samsung do that?

Engineering a World’s Thinnest Laptop

The engineers during Samsung proposed work upon a updated Series 9 pattern by re-thinking a enclosing of a PC. This updated Series 9 would be built upon an aluminum framework machined from a plain shelter with solid sloping cutters. The ensuing stiffness, levity as good as finish (sandblasted as good as embellished in most manifest areas) have been utterly impressive. In further to re-thinking a outward of a laptop, all of a vital inner components were updated or optimized as well. The following picture shows an exploded tools perspective of a brand brand new Samsung Notebook Series 9:

Components:

• 2: Display
• 3: Keyboard
• 4: Touchpad
• 5-6: Keyboard extraneous
• 7-9: Main house (PCB circuits)
• 10: SSD
• 11: Fan
• 12: Heat pipe
• 13: Battery (lithium polymer)
• 14: Speaker
• 15: Bottom unit

It’s not sufficient to only have a tools thinner as good as lighter, they additionally need to perform well. Samsung has a array of difficult tests which have been conducted upon laptops prior to they have been approved for mass production. This Series 9 refurbish imposed a little large acceptance hurdles due to a actuality which so most components were being redesigned, as good as measure being squeezed as tiny as probable during a same time.

After large hours of engineering iterations as good as contrast Samsung was means to encounter their difficult criteria, as good as a updated Samsung Series 9 was denounced during CES 2012 (the complete plan was finished in a make a difference of a couple of months).

Some of a pattern highlights for a updated Series 9 embody law ports which have been unprotected in an superb conform upon both sides of a laptop. On a right side (above image) we see a microphone, arrangement pier connector, microphone/headphone jack, as good as USB 2.0 port.

On a left side of a laptop (above image) we see a energy jack, USB 3.0 port, micro HDMI port, as good as network pier (network dongle is granted with PC). You can discuss it from seeking during these ports which utterly a bit of suspicion as good as engineering craftsmanship went in to a design.

One of a facilities which creates a Samsung Series 9 tasteful to craving business is a accessible TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. With this hardware capability, we can make use of most Windows capability facilities similar to practical intelligent cards, bit locker, as good as approach access.

How skinny as good as how light can laptops get? That’s a good question. There’s regularly a need to change a trade-offs in in between constructional acerbity as good as altogether density (imposing a fanciful extent upon how skinny a laptop can get). Samsung did a good pursuit handling these trade-offs which off with a ultimate Series 9 machine!

Selecting a mobile Personal Computer is a routine of balancing trade-offs. Screen size, computational horsepower, battery life, weight, size, as good as cost have been all factors which change from a single sort of laptop to another. In a past, we had to select in in between capabilities similar to battery life, size, as good as performance. These tradeoffs have been apropos reduction conspicuous with a brand brand new stand of skinny as good as light laptops. With these PCs, we can suffer ultra-mobility, good battery life, as good as have a energy to run renouned consumer or craving apps. In this post I’ll speak about a ultimate skinny as good as light laptop from Samsung: a Series 9 (13.3” in this case, 15” models have been additionally available).

If we wish to pull a boundary of mobile computing technology, we have to take upon poignant engineering as good as prolongation challenges. This is only what Seong-Woo Nam, Executive Vice President of a IT Solutions Business during Samsung did in late 2011. Seong-Woo Nam challenged Samsung engineers to trim 3.44mm off a already skinny 16.33mm Samsung Series 9 laptop (first generation) which was in prolongation during a time. Samsung succeeded in bringing this 12.9mm updated Series 9 appurtenance to marketplace in early 2012, an considerable accomplishment.
