Awesome case. Very ghetto indeed.
How's the cooling on that beast ?
More importantly, how quiet is it ?

why not have the gfx use a passive heatsink and duct the blower over that too.. less fans = less noise!
the 140mm fan sucks the air out from under the heat sink. And the 120mm (one with blue LED's) has over an inch of clearence...Do you really need those exhaust fans? Looks like the blower has things covered (as in cant get airflow )
I am frustrated the 80mm fan that I had above the video card decided to start grinding...some dirt must have gotten in to the ball barring . it is a old used fan that I cleaned up. luckily I have other quiet 80mm fans, but that was my last 15mm thick one. (this means that a normal 25mm thick fan will stick over the place where the PCI set screws go.) Even though I made the case so the fans could be replaced if needed - it is still a pain in the rear.
Well I have started to paint the case. I am using acrylic paint (since it is good quality and cheep). I am just really surprised how much the wood is sucking up the paint. I am going to have to put on many coats.
I am also realizing how much I shake these days. Do to some nerve damage in my hands and wrists I have a slight tremor that is slowly getting worse as I age. For the most part it never bothers me and I am able to control it - but trying to paint around stuff meant to be a different color is hard... It is looking like I may have to tape parts off to keep it neat (some thing I have rarely had to do....)
DUSNOETOS
Did you have it sprayed for termites?
Dude, I love the case. A lol! at the kitty and baby inspection team. My kitties put their noses into all of my new builds. If it is in their house, it has to be approved.
Pretty cool build.
Yeah popsicle sticks need alot of paint.
Sanding sealer would help but its kinda messy and smells pretty bad.
This build is definately shows how one can recycle old parts into new projects.
And wow $10! I dont think Ive bought anything for my computer for less than $15. Maybe a bag of thumbscrews lol.
Wow very interesting and original case man. A bit "ghetto" for me but if it works why the heck not?? It's unique and IMO pretty cool.
I like the look of that case
Also the front view of it kind of looks like an old style house with the top half a tad wider than the bottom half
^ That's what I was thinking. Like a split-level doll house. Maybe add some tiny furnature and people that you can see through the window? A little popsicle front door to cover the drive bays? Maybe some downstairs windows? Definitely need a roof too.
Very creative! Mad kudos for working with your hands and with a limited budget!
