Overview / Usage

When I think of the future of innovation, graphene is it. Everything will head towards Graphene. From batteries to frames of materials. I could see Graphene in almost everything as a replacement for plastic and steel. This build is trying to spread awareness towards the next materials used to build the next supercomputers as well as everyday things. Graphene should be the next thing we use daily.

So what makes graphene so unique? One example of why graphene is so special, Graphene-based batteries eliminate some of the major drawbacks of lithium-ion batteries without much change in the physical form factor. It also offers fast charging, the triple lifespan of a normal lithium battery, as well as flexible physical attributes. The graphene-powered battery has a charge cycle over 1500 times. These batteries also generate less heat as compared to other batteries of their size. The best part it also charges 70x faster than ordinary batteries. Besides Graphene batteries, Graphene is currently used in many things. Another use for Graphene is a coolant. Currently, tests show that Graphene is 7 degrees cooler than normal pc coolants. This is a huge improvement in temperature and performance. There are tons of other uses for graphene, these are just two related to the pc build. Besides conductivity or strength, Graphene has a lot of uses. Because it is super flexible and lightweight it can be used to cool supercomputers or monitor the human temperature. The main reason Graphene wasn't used sooner is simple, the cost associated with the material to make was to high. It was at one point $200,000 a ton. They have cut the pricing down significantly due to the new technology used to process the material. Price has come to under $100 per gram. Over time it'll get even cheaper to produce. My goal is to educate everyone and get everyone interested in replacement components and to show an alternative to plastic and metal.

Thanks for taking the time to view my posting, I wanted to share a little about myself. I haven't built a PC in 20 years, so im interested in pushing myself, its like riding a bike? (which is also made from graphene these days). Lets get building.

​

Methodology / Approach

Im going to make the front of the case look like a #2 pencil. All pencils have graphite, a gray crystalline form of carbon, despite being marked as “lead” pencils. Graphite is used as a dry lubricant in pencils. Graphene is fundamentally a single layer of graphite, only one atom thick. It’s one million times thinner than paper, so thin that it’s actually considered two-dimensional. The plan is simple, glue 2 old protein containers and reshape and paint over them to cover the front to look like a #2 pencil. Then when you open the front cover you then find a single layer of graphene on the inside. The inner cover will be coated with graphene coasting which will help airflow and cool the internals. If you're wondering how the coasting will help, graphene tends to be non-abrasive which will help with the airflow.

Inside the case, I was planning on modding the Aio to a custom loop because the graphene coolant is about 7 degree cooler then other coolants (future tech). I probably wont loop it to the graphics card because the graphene airflow should be enough

In the end, this will look like a big #2 pencil but essential its a moded pc using graphene to make it more efficient.
