WOOO!! I finaly finished my acrylic/plexiglass pc case.. I have a mcro atx D850MD motherboard, 512mb ram... HP dvd burner, 80gb MAXTOR HD with a cooler... The power supply is mounted on top... The box is exactly 10" square:) I love it, I am amazed how much plaxiglass holds all the sound inside, now I can sleap at night when I leave my pc on...

I must say its very unique, i have never seen someone install a power supply with out it being in its case, i also think its cool how the burner fits in, did you make the case?

any ways, looks good, nice work

by the way, i love that wifi router you have, i have 3 of them running in my house :D

Hey thanks!! yeah that router is awsome!! Yeah I built the case with a table saw and a dremel jig-saw type of thing(lol) and some black hex-screws... I cut the openings for the hd cooler and dvd burner with a pneumatic metal grinder and held the dvd burner up with some screws on the side...and I have an ATI RADEON 9600 badge on the front.. its cool;)

i was gonna ask, where do all your ports (vga, ps2, usb, etc) come out?

i cant see them coming out of the top, front, or back in the picture

stevey500 · 01-24-04, 02:36 PM

All the ports are comming out the back, I used the backplate that came with the motherboard so it wouldnt be soo hard to cut the holes for the ports.. When you open it up, the side that the motherboard is on folds down.. its really cool.. If you look close enough you can kinda see the back panel plate for the ports towards the top right

I will have to take some more pics...

01-24-04, 02:45 PM

that would be great, i cant really see it but my eyes arent so good, i would love to see more pics of it please post soon

stevey500 · 01-24-04, 03:00 PM

Here is the side open, there are hinges on the bottom of the side the motherboard is on.. Look at pic>>

stevey500 · 01-24-04, 03:01 PM

Here is the back side....

stevey500 · 01-24-04, 03:02 PM

hehehehe, why do you have a mac wallpaper

well i love it, looks great, so how does the cpu stay cool, the harddrive i see has its own fans out the front but the PS an the Cpu are just inside a plastic box, wont they over heat

01-24-04, 03:17 PM

forgot to say, i see you have theone fan on top but that dosnt seem like much for a board and ps

stevey500 · 01-24-04, 03:40 PM

Well the fan on top pulls all the hot air out.... The power supply I have barely heats up at all:crooked: So I just removed the fan, the CPU stays pretty cool..... LOL I just for some reason have my pc set all to mac skins and the www.mobydock.com toolbar n' stuff... The HD cooler brings in air while the fan on top pushed hot air out... Oh by the way.. I only have the stock intel fan on the cpu.. But I am amazed how cool it stays..

01-24-04, 05:25 PM

i use just a stock intel fan...but.... i have a ps fan, huge front fan, and rear tiny fan

stevey500 · 01-24-04, 05:54 PM

Thats allot of fans.. hehe!! But Thanks
