Making a mini PC on Ryzen APU or trucker computer

Hello dear community. In this article I want to share my latest development - a small computer for work and leisure.

Technical task


  1. The computer must be installed in cargo A.M. Volvo E5, installation location (niche for a torpedo) has dimensions W * D * H - 40 * 45 * 8 cm
  2. In the car, in principle, I do not hold a converter from 24 to 220 Volts, so the PC should work from 24V, directly from the cigarette lighter. It will not go to 12V, because they come from a converter designed for a maximum current of 10A, which is not entirely good, given the total power consumption. Well, it should be possible to connect a PC at home from 220V.
  3. It just so happened that I have been using a 12-volt monitor for a long time, but its input is only D-SUB, so the computer must have the appropriate video outputs.
  4. The computer should pull The Witcher 3 (well, I love this game) at medium graphics settings in HD quality for my monitor at 19 inches.
  5. Cost - the cheaper, the better. All prices will be indicated in cu - i.e. Polish zloty, as a lot was bought for them, and in brackets - in euros and take into account delivery.
  6. It was decided to build a PC on the AMD platform. Their built-in VEGA 8 and 11 already has enough power for my tasks and does not require the installation of an external video card, which will additionally load the car’s batteries.

Here is the result:
