I have their OBS config. I could make PIRATE CHURCH SERMONS!
especially if they didn't rotate their stream key between now and 2020

And inside it has this card that I pulled out: A Winnov Videum 4x SDI.
It's a capture card for SDI video.
So I've got this fun luggable that I picked up this weekend. The screen is broken, and it may have other problems, but it's still neat to open up
(sorry this is going to be a very image heavy thread and I'm posting as I take it apart, so I'm going to skip image descriptions after this one)
But check out this part. See how the fan cable goes into those cuts inside the PCB?
yeah...
Rather than buy a fan with the correct length cable, they bought a fan with a cable that's too long, and then included a spot on the PCB to wrap it around.
That's... impressively lazy!
Here's the inside.
There's a PSU on the bottom left, a 2.5" hard drive on left, the full size motherboard on the back, and that tiny laptop DVD driver in the bottom-right, for some reason.
NOPE! both sides are basically blank.
They build this fucker like a sandwich, with the good bits on the inside.
And that top card. It's not a video card, it's a Winnov Videum RGB XPress!
That's a capture card too.
It doesn't capture DVI, though: it is supposed to have an octopus cable for each of those "DVI" ports.
BTW you might look at this image and go "foone you're showing us the back of the card, flip it over so we can see the chips"
I opened it anyway. The chips are mainly FPGAs and RAM, with a few other scattered about. I might come back and figure out what each of these are later.
hard drive is a 500mb Seagate Momentus.
and I think it may be dead.
Pulled the PSU. It's a Sparkle Power 480w PSU
The DVD drive is a Sony DVD/CD rewriter, apparently. An AD-7740H
and really, what the fuck is this? Did you run out of the correctly sized fans that day?
And we're mostly in!
I'm starting to worry that they custom-made this heatsink.
This thing is very heavy. I don't have a scale nearby or I'd weigh it, but it's the kind of heavy YOU DON'T PUT IN PORTABLE COMPUTERS
The bracket for the power supply (yes, really) hides another board:
This DVI to LVDS board.
They found low-profile RAM, because otherwise it'd run into the PSU
okay, the (broken) display is an LG LP171WU5.
That's a 17.1"(43cm) laptop display, 1920x1200, LED backlight.
Their LVDS cables were too long (A problem NO ONE HAS EVER HAD BEFORE) so they just bundled them over here
The bottom of the device says it came with Windows 7 Pro Embedded, and it was manufactured in March of 2012
