Default [Project] Troglodytic Tech Terminal


Updates:

Hey all, this is going to be a quick mod. I'm building a tech station from scratch. It's going to be made of wood, since I don't have enough spare metal or acrylic lying around. Should be done within 3 days, unless the weather is bad.

Update

Sorry guys, I can't find my decent camera, so you'll have to put up with my POS 3.2MP one.

Anyways, here's some pics of what it's like so far, I've already installed the mobo, along with RAM and CPU. Have a look.

Pictures








I used 12 wood nails on each side to put it together. They look pretty ugly so I'm trying to figure out a way to hide them. Some furniture feet on the bottom ones would do good, and maybe some fake wood for the top? Tell me what you think. The holes are from my first attempt. I tried to put the entire thing together with 8 screws, but it sort of failed.

The boards are 20 in x 10 in, approximately. They're actually plywood (At least that's what I think you call it, it's a bunch of thin boards joined together ) And not great quality either, full of holes in the middle, but I managed. Beams are 8 in high. Mobo was installed using six 1 1/2" machine screws with diameter 6/32", and eighteen neoprene washers.

Now, all I need to do is to created some brackets to fit my HDDs, CD/DVD Drive, and PSU in. I also need to fashion a backplate for my GPU. And of course, I need to paint it, which I might hold off for since my grandfather had built like three chairs in the past year and is planning to paint them soon, so I might as well do it then.


And yes, I am using the stock intel cooler.

Ok so umm, I have enough fans to fashion a "fan wall" to place on top of the mobo, Any opinions on how that could affect the temps?

I got rained out today. GPU was supposed to arrive in the mail, but apparently it's going to be coming tomorrow...

Update:

I got the 9800GT in the mail, plugged it in to test, and it worked fine for awhile. However, after some time, the GPU simply shut down and I could not get the machine to boot up at all. I'll have to wait for the card to come back from RMA.

I think it looks nice! And as for the "fan wall", what exactly do you mean? Like mount a panel above the mobo with a bunch of fans?

Yay the thread is revived!

Anyways, yeah That's sort of what I meant...
I have the system set up right now, and I bought a piece of 1/8" thick plywood to create some walls for it.
