New Project

[hallsofvallhalla]

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.

Keep us updated

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

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.

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

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?

[hallsofvallhalla]

I have to order a some cases so in the meantime I put both PCs in one box and it cost me like $8

[vitinho444]

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

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.
