this is a much better design since all the conections are in the back. just like a normal computer ! this was done by useing a micro ATX MOBO.

[The Spyder]

exclent design......... where did you get the tubs/rack??

[Lonely Raven]

Hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of doing that!
I use those same tubs, but in black for storing my spare parts and
stuffs. I just couldn't find any backplanes for motherboard
mounting and proper screweing down of the cards...

[ziptieboy]

That is awesome. I wish I had enough money to build another rig, but sadly I don't. Good job by the way.

[Captain Slug]

*Sigh
I am definitely NOT a fan of ghetto mods. But I won't hijack this thread with a rant...

Ignore me, continue.

[Penguin4x4]

Rig of the Month. You submit it via email to input@maximumpc.com with pictures and a brief write-up about the machine, :)

[tatanka]

Do you get any problems with noise/vibration/heat issues with your rack...er i mean tubs?

[nealric]

its ghetto fabulous!!!
Ghetto is just so much more fun :D

[adamtekh]

well ok i might try to submit it , u never know!

nope no problems with noise or temps

and in case u never saw the first tub computer
it all started right here @ overclockers.com
in this thread http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100700&highlight=ghetto

edit: well it looks like they took down all the pictures their but as u can see alot of coments and stuff, but i still have all the pictures up @ my site http://tux.sourceforge.net/mod.html

[broken003]

great idea, but you might want to use a soldering iron to cut your holes. It will cut through that material like butter, but do it in a well ventilated area. Clean up with a razor knife and maybe some sanpaper. I guess if you get to involved then it wont be ghetto though.

[adamtekh]

well its still not finished yet so i might go back and touch up the edges

[flounder43]

You could stack a couple of those things up and have a folding farm...

BTW, what do you use for a power switch?

[adamtekh]

well i didnt take a picture of that , maybe i will later this week.

u might be able to see the type in this picture.
its the same type that under my main moniter and it just sits on top of the rack. with a moniter on top of that. :cool:
