[PROJECT] Booshox
Background:
Since I don't have the funds to afford a laptop at the moment, I thought it would be a little challenge, and an interesting idea if I were to build a little dual-core Atom PC for emergency and internet usage. It'd be a fairly vanilla build if I were to do this all inside a Mini-ITX case, but since I don't have these available at the moment, I wanted to build it into a shoebox, complete with PSU and all. Funds: 0 |||||||||||||| 15000 (Rs. 1000 / $12 increments) Components: 1 x Metal/Plastic Lunchbox or Briefcase. 1 x Zotac ION-ITX-A Mini-ITX Motherboard 1 x Slim USB External DVD+RW drive (to squeeze into the chassis/box) 1 x Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800MHz 1GB stick 1 x Bluetooth USB Adapter 1 x 320GB 2.5" SATA HDD To do list: Sketchup Diagram to see if everything will fit inside the box. Checking if the PSU can be gutted and the circuitry fitted inside the chassis in a separate compartment. Not Required ATM. Motherboard has built in power circuitry. Designing an official logo Finding a way to print the official logo and port names on the box Also, can anyone think of a better name for this?  And design a minimalist but cool looking logo? (I was looking for a white background, but hey, open to ideas!  )

I put some old parts in a cardboard box and plugged them in and it works great. I cut holes for the I/O shield and video card (16MB Riva TNT2) etc.

Instead of a shoebox, make it out of a lunch box.
 more rigid and it would be unique

Sort of a very thorough ghetto job. Quote:
 I've got some White Acrylic Lacquer for the project, will the cheesy design not show through it if I apply a few thorough coats?
