Uhh, mate, not sure about this design, the HD5850 needs to go into the PCI-e slot, it is a few inches high, so going to be at least 7 inches high your "laptop"

You are better of getting a Case that is designed for these components and is portable like the CM Scout ect.... and modding it for water cooling..

Ok a couple problems.

1. Do you actually plan on transporting this system around a lot? If yes then water cooling will be a big issue. With the exception of pre-built closed system sush as asetek or Coolit's, it is HIGHLY recommended that a system be drained before transport. Basically, don't expect this to work like a laptop u can close up and take around with you. Also, where's the reservoir?

2. Battery powered? There is a reason laptops usually don't use desktop processors, and NEVER use desktop GPU's. You could bring a fully charged car battery around with you and you'd be out of power in 5 minutes. Not to mention that any battery capable of delivering 500 watts of power won't be smaller than a car battery.

3. Desktop parts in tiny custom built case= you're gonna need a ton of cooling. It not enough to water cool the CPU and GPU. Your RAM and Northbridge/Southbridge are gonna fry without proper ventilation.

4. A radiator is not something you can build by yourself. Companies invest lots of money for highly specialized machines to make them as they are precision parts, nowhere near as precise as a CPU, but still requiring a lot of precision.


I'm not trying to dash your hopes, but what you are trying to build is something PC companies have been trying to build for years without success, cept they aren't even dreaming of using a desktop water cooling system.

maybe you could get a mini-itx 775 board, undervolted q9550 and passively cooled gpu. this would require less cooling, be smaller, and require less power while still being pretty powerful. sounds like a cool idea if you've got the skills to pull it off.
