Took an 2 year old Pentium gold dual core processor, originally and HP slimline desktop. You would notice upon opening the original case, no power supply. It is just the laptop brick. 7.5 inch square MB. It is now inside a electronics bob that is about 9 inches sq and 2 to 4 inches tapered high. Under the MB is the Sata drive. Installed MX Linux boots to HMDI works well. Had to make my own power button and reset HP had a proprietary plug. Used 2 momentary switches. they are connected Via R PI single needle wires I had that way I can unplug them from the case after removing the top.
Thinking of getting a 10 inch HDMI monitor to use with it. Just some tinkering instead of tossing it out.
MX though seemed to not be a fan of the 160 gb Sata hd. Just before formatting it gave a warning that the life of the drive may be short, even though it passed a check. I guess it wanted an SSD. Let it run a while and inside it only got to about 76F, processor temp. Have a CPU fan and a 40mm case fan on the back corner.
I cannot stop nerding out, with computers.
