New Project
So I just bought a kick awesome new motherboard and processor and was out looking for a case when I realized no one sells PC cases anymore. You basically have to order them. Well why spend $100 on a case when you can build one into a desk!

Gonna build my own version of this. Will update with pics.
I am finally scoring a 7.7-7.8 on my windows experience! Even though it is a stupid rating system I have always wanted to score the highest of 7.9. Even my laptop at I7 Extreme with 24 gigs of ram scores a 7.6.

Wow those desks are awesome!!! But watch out for over-heating problems, also, don't you need to find a desk that is empty inside, and the right size too.

Wow, that is cool! But just be sure you have enough air flow, because most furniture-type materials don't radiate heat very well.

Re: New Project
I actually changed the idea. I have two quad core motherboards so i am putting them in one homemade case. Got 3 80mm fans plus 1 120 mm fan.

Re: New Project
As long as it is enough to keep your beast CPU and GPU cool then go for it

Re: New Project
I'm not saying its not cool, but weren't you going to put it on a desk/table? Like what difference it makes from the normal boxes then?

Ah I see, no problem then. Is it working fine? They are getting good air flow? All is good?

Re: New Project
Seems good so far. Both PCs running good. Idle temp on the beast is 45c which seems a little high but I think it is the Heatsink and fan. It is a cheap one. Ordering a new one with the new case.
