Wee Beastie’s 4.75L ‘Fishtank’ Mini PC Hits Funding With Custom-Mounted RTX 4070

The crowdfunded 4.75-liter system uses a custom-mounted RTX 4070 with mobile Intel CPUs, with shipping targeted for March 2026.

Overview

  • The Kickstarter campaign has surpassed its goal for the compact PC that integrates a desktop GeForce RTX 4070 die on an MXM-like board inside a 4.75-liter chassis.
  • Project FAQ clarifies the GPU is soldered to the device’s circuit board rather than a standard removable desktop card, limiting plug-and-play upgrade options.
  • Configurations pair either an Intel Core i7-13700H or Core Ultra 7 255H with DDR5 SODIMM memory, M.2 2230 NVMe storage, Wi‑Fi 7, USB4, and up to six-display output.
  • An internal 400W power supply and a 13-fan cooling setup are part of the design, with the maker claiming quiet operation and no thermal throttling.
  • Introductory pricing starts at $699 for the i7-13700H model and $899 for the Ultra 7 255H version, with production slated for December and February runs before planned March 2026 shipments; performance claims, including up to 466 AI TOPS, remain unverified.
