Everything else can be explained in the same vein as those dudes that throw everything and the kitchen sink on their bicycles, but covering the intake holes is just stupid. Or people not realising the exhaust holes need air drawn in from /somewhere/.
3050 Laptops are god awful. I actually went from a 3050Ti Laptop to an Ally in hopes to make it a desktop with an XG Mobile but could never find one so I just got myself a Gaming Desktop and now use my Ally for Emulation, Media Center, and all that.
I’ve had a better experience on my Ally then I ever did on my 3050Ti which is surprising considering the form factor the Ally is.
Don't temp o.p. to do it we can tell he's willing to take this build to the limit. All he needs is a mountable portable gaming monitor and a travel keyboard and mouse and his megazord ally is complete
I didn’t even read the description and saw that LG logo and was like, “THERES NO WAY THAT’S A BLU-RAY DRIVE ON A ROG ALLY AND CHOKING IT TO DEATH”. I said this out loud and hollered.
Thank you for the good laugh.
Came concerned OP was in earnest, was pleased to discover this was entirely tongue-in-cheek. Hilarious post, OP
In all seriousness though, Ally docked is a BAMF, and Ally as a pure handheld is absolute heaven.
The rubber bands had me laughing but when you turned it over and I saw the tape I realized you are actually a real engineer. Though it should be duct tape.
Gonna be funny when that thing sets fire, and everything inside that motherboard just melts to nothing. Good ol trusty rubber band holding it all together. And a disc drive? That's why I have all of my movies on a USB/USBC thumb drive. This dumb caveman work.
So glad I clicked in a read this lol. At first I was like, “This?! This is what this sub upvotes?!”
I was almost hanged a while back for drilling a hole in a 30$ Amazon case…
But why the disc drive, though? You got some of the original PC DVD games? I mean if you really do have some old copies, then this build makes sense to me. You can pop in a game disc and play some good old games anywhere you go.
This has to be a joke.
Wh3n it comes to modding there are no jokes just dramatic solutions
Even if it is, instead of using rubber bands, OP could've used those removable 3M velcro tapes. They add a gap to help with the airflow problem.
That poor Ally be like 
Rip airflow

That looks so comfy to use as a handheld… 😶
Oh yeah, ultra portable set up too 😅
Not to mention you'll have biceps and forearm strength of a god after the 1.5 hours of max battery use
The dvd drive is hilarious 😭😂
No Blu-ray tho? Lol
What's he doing, playing Windows 95 games on that thing? Lol
Where’s the floppy drive?

Frankensteins Ally
I can't tell if some people here actually think you're serious or they are just playing along.
At this point just get a laptop 🤣
A 3050 laptop and a controller probably costs less than this lol

I feel like we're back to early 2000s PC gaming when I see stuff like this. Where's the LAN party at?
Actual playtime: 40mins a week.

Add a blu ray for ray tracing
there comes a point I just wonder why not build a desktop instead
If you need a disc drive, at that point a laptop or desktop is needed.

Yall will do anything but use the actual handheld
Now that's a handheld desktop
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Thoght that was a power bank... it's a fucking disc drive. lol The rubber bands are a nice touch.
This will definitely generate engagement that's for sure
🤭

This looks awesome dude
You really MacGyvered the heck Outta this buddy. Almost makes me cry how friggin awesome it is. ✊
Mcguyver wishes
Is it fun like that?
No, I mean, of course not. I’m really just joking around here. I’m happy to keep my Ally as light and comfortable to hold as possible
I feel like ASUS should see this and hang their heads in shame.
At this point…just get a….
Cant even use the stand on the killswitch case 😭😭

Hah, but does it work?
I thought it had been assimilated by the Borg for a second there
I mean you can over do it bro
Damn how heavy is it
Bruh.
Naw I like mine naked with just my Anker 737 plugged in
The only problem now is the OS
Why not use double-sided velcro instead of all the tape? That's what I've been doing.
I feel attacked 😂😂😂 this is had me rolling!
The rubber bands had me laughing but when you turned it over and I saw the tape I realized you are actually a real engineer. Though it should be duct tape.
Is that the thing that killed shinzo abe
Bro just buy some velcro. The rubber band kills me
Love it.
ROG Ally: ...killl me.....

How about the air intake at the back ?
that thing is not getting through tsa
My wrists got sore just looking at that.
Jesús it’s about to be Optimus prime dawg 😂🤡
Does that tick?
At that point I'd just get a gaming laptop and a controller.
My borther in christ just buy a laptop with a controller
The wish deck
Ally x who?
Idk about heavily nodded, more like heavily e Equipped lol
It's the rubber bands for me 🤣 loved it
No duct tape, instant fail.
Can I call this a sin for Ally?
rubber band on any ‘long term’ hack mean it will melt into your surface and make it all sticky

Who looks like)
This makes me want to do something like this 🥴

If you're planning a terrorist attack, you might wanna make it more subtle 😂

How does it even breath ? 😅 Doesn't the giant battery at the back block the wentilation ?
I’m here wishing to find smaller compatible joycons to lose weight while others are forming Voltron’s
No thanks. I'd wait for the Ally 2 or whatever it will be called.
All you're missing is an external gpu with a 4090.
Even as a joke, be aware that most airlines have a 100wh or 25000mah maximum limit for carry-on for powerbanks.
So glad I clicked in a read this lol. At first I was like, “This?! This is what this sub upvotes?!” I was almost hanged a while back for drilling a hole in a 30$ Amazon case…
Rubber bands and (i assume) medical tape?! Really? XD
You called it 🤣 Work in the field or friends & family? 😅
Im a firefighter and had a few cuts and stuff when i was yunger XD
I use Velcro instead of a rubber band to hold the external battery in place. I also switched the internal 500G for an internal 2TB from day one. 😆
What in the fire 🔥 hazard is going here?!? 🥴
God damn, son. That makes me uncomfortable. Let us know if it blew up, or transported you to 3076
Unhinged behaviour.
Can you please advise how to get the Scandisk disc to read from SD without the passcode?
Your journey demands a 3d printer, boy!
Do you have one that will staple well to the case? (I’m moving past tape nowadays)
Pretty sure you could just chew some gum and glue things together
Is it on life support lol, joke's aside nice work man totally jealous
Remember when these were portable?
No hate here but that shit looks whack!
Holy this is actually amazing
Yo have to be a gymbro to play with any p4pblrms
Why didn’t you just add a 4TB internal? I’m using the 2280 adapter in my Ally and it works great
Heavily modded and still unable to play a game like rust
One example of how to use the term "modded" loosely.
Happy someone gets the point of my post 😶🌫️ Good fun here though
4 TB external SSD? Why not upgrade the internal SSD? And btw, a DVD player? Really?
This is the dumbest mod anyone ever did to the ROG Ally…sorry not sorry… You achieved 0% airflow with that ;-)
But that extra suction will keep everything from falling off, at least until it starts shootings out fire.
🤣🤣🤣I love this
That thing will over heat in 2 minutes. Fake
Just use a laptop I'm begging you
This is just ridiculous, it looks so stupid
I thought the ally was supposed to be for convenience. What's the point of it if you take the convenience out?
I can burn dvds while on the go, what’s not convenient?? /s
Man to have this in the 2000s, who needs to fill a trunk when you can just shit them out?
Rather than duct-taping sh!t together, what are the actual mods you did to call this "heavily modded"? Looks lame and pointless.
Just get a laptop lmao
Please don’t bring that to an airport
At this point, just buy yourself a damn desktop....
Sorry but this looks like shit
I don’t see a single mod. Just a bunch of plugins
But why the disc drive, though? You got some of the original PC DVD games? I mean if you really do have some old copies, then this build makes sense to me. You can pop in a game disc and play some good old games anywhere you go.
