Weird question, just because one of my wildest fantasies is to do something like this: how do you protect your computer while mobile? Doesn’t look like you have a huge CPU cooler but I can’t imagine the bouncing, especially in a truck, would be good for your GPU/PCIE slot. Never driven a VW box before but I have done some Ford’s, Hinos, and Isuzus and they’ll all quite bouncey.
Also, you can count me as being firmly in the jealous category.

That is pretty awesome. Those knives would scare me a bit 😉

# Current Setup:
* **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D on a **Minisforum BD790i X3D**
* **GPU**: Undervolted **RTX 3070**, capped at 70% TDP (~150W in use)
* **RAM**: Single 16GB stick at 4800MHz (upgrade planned)
* **Main Monitor**: Old **Dell 27″ 4K 60Hz** still going strong
* **Secondary Monitor**: **Uperfect 3K OLED 120Hz**, portrait mode on the right perfect for code, logs, or docs and editing
* **Peripherals**: **Logitech MX Keys** + **MX Master mouse**
* **PSU**: Temporary, inefficient 700w PSU for now **HDPLEX DC-ATX** on the way
* **Power Source**: 24V battery bank (setup in progress to run fully DC)
# Performance & Efficiency:
* The CPU is surprisingly efficient averaging **44W** even during Unity C# compiles.
* GPU is capped and tuned but handles everything I throw at it.
* Once the HDPLEX arrives, I’ll eliminate AC conversion losses and power the whole setup straight from my van’s 24V battery bank.
* Also planning to swap the current oversized case the tiny ITX board looks ridiculous in there.

living dangerously. if a spaghetti boils over it’s also over for your pc.

Clean setup, especially if its in a van. How long can you play until your batterys run out?

Specs and power usage/solar system?

Is this your full time digs or the vacation rig? It’s just so clean.

Vans seem a lil small for me, i’d opt for a literal bus myself (but im saying this as a professional bus driver)

How is the pc secured? Also id be worried about the gpu bouncing around when driving. Most people disconnect their gpu when transporting to prevent any damage.

LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
Yay a manual transmission!
Just curious.
How exactly does a sink work in a van?
Where do you get your power?
