Basically I’m looking forward to building a ruggedized PC with a handle that I can toss in a suitcase and take with me to conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rugged PC Build Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
That way when I run a VR portal, I will have a relatively reliable and cool machine with more than enough power for the task. Up until now I had been using a gaming laptop for this task. My gaming laptop bit the dust this year, though. I got about 2 years out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I’m going to try to build my mATX desktop board with 360 AIO cooler and 3 fan 6900XT into some kind of rugged case. My idea for now is aluminum extrusions and acrylic. I have already 3D printed and mounted a motherboard plate to the mATX motherboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest problem for this project is obviously the size of the cooler and GPU. Here’s hoping I can manage to find a solution that works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optimally I’d like to fit the keyboard, a mouse, and a display into a folding case that opens up like a briefcase PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, that’s the goal, anyway. We shall see if I can actually pull it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
React<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In addition I’ve been reading more on React and I’m going to try making some modifications to my new website redesign using some functionality I’m learning. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I read some more on React I have earned myself a sugary soda for dinner. What a treat! (Yes this is an extra motivation for me to keep going when it seems too easy or boring.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walkies I took another walk today. I went to Kensington Market in Toronto and checked out what was going on there. It was such a lovely morning and early afternoon for a walk.
