10$ case... what is it?

[bob4933]

Was at local computer shop. They buy old stuff and I Was seeing what they had for cases, adn this little diamond in the rough called my name. Its 100% aluminum, not a piece of plastic on this case! I have no idea what it is, Im gonna be modding it pretty heavily (read: Fans everywhere).

It even has a slide out motherboard tray, which is cool as hell. Everything is modular, I can completely gut the case and add in what I wanted. Definitely a sick buy for 10$. Its old for sure, the amount of dust that was inside, and the 3pin powered fans give that away.

That said, Im not sure waht to do with the small port on the front, as it was missing that piece. What is that for?

not going to use this, but I thought it was pretty nifty haha

That looks like an older Lian Li, actually. If it is, that was a steal for $10.

At very least, it is a knock-off of one.

Looks more like a PC62, but still a steal

Cool beans. Either way, it fits the bill exactly what I wanted

Any cool suggestions for front slot? Id prefer usb or something of that nature as I dont use removable media so much.

You should go back to that shop and ask if they have any more "$10" cases.

Good job with the usb. I have actually put fan controllers in that 3.5 inch bay

You mean the 3.5" bay for a floppy drive?! Goddamn, I'm only 25 but you just made me feel ancient...

Sweet deal for a nice piece of work!

Well considering floppy drives have been dead for... oh over a decade .... haha I was meaning like real world applications at the time, didn't even think about usb hubs and stuff.

And don't worry, I'm older then you, so you can rest easy.
