Setting up Gaming Desktop in Truck

I can't help but dream of a hard line mounted water cooling radiator mounted on the back of the cab with quick disconnects for the desktop. It'd be a good way to vent it outside the truck at least. I would think it wouldn't be too different to the radiators for the AC in freightliners.

 

I'm currently running this setup on the same Tundra 1500watt inverter that the OP has with no issues:

Doesn't pull over 200watts unless I'm running a stress test. Also waiting for the other white led case fan and the light strip to come in so I can add those into the system. I do plan to eventually replace the Tundra with a pure sine wave, but I had gotten the Tundra for free including install.

 

Wow, cool. That is a very helpful post for the thread topic. You have built a very low wattage, very small footprint, gaming rig about the size of a large console system. And it runs off a moderate inverter.

For those who are looking to build, that PC Part Picker web site is a great reference.

You could (for example) take @MachoCyclone 's build link and use it as a starting point. Then just make a tweak up or down and save your new list.

Examples:
1) His build with a few bucks shaved in the monitor and SSD drive: Mini truck build 2 - The_Kergan's Saved Part List - Core i5-7600T 2.8 GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Mini, Node 202 HTPC w/450 W Power Supply - PCPartPicker (Eco mini gaming build)

2) His build shaved as in #1, BUT switched the 1060 video card with a 1080: System Builder - Core i5-7600T 2.8 GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Mini, Node 202 HTPC w/450 W Power Supply - PCPartPicker (Upper midgrade mini gaming build)

3) His build beefed into an enthusiast build (for max eye candy gaming) : System Builder - Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB Mini, Node 202 HTPC w/450 W Power Supply - PCPartPicker (Monster mini gaming build)

Good job and thanks for the pics dude. Really shows what you can do in a mini form-factor these days and compare pricing to boot.

One question though: what operating system? (not in your build pricing)

 

Windows 10. You can get legit Windows keys cheap if 1) Don't mind getting an OEM key and 2) Know where to look. I personally like Kinguin. Never had a problem with any key from the.
