So its now time for another project!
With it now being summer i have a lot of time on my hands for many things mostly modding so to fill my extra time i have ive decided to start an new project.
Why? wel my laptop has become very tempermantal and has run throught 4 power bricks in the last 3 years and thought i t was time for an upgrade.
This project is only possible due to Shadowhero18! thank you very much!!
So what will this project entail and what is it? well ive currently come into possesion of some old MOD ammunition boxes very stury things and can take a very large amount of force and pressure.
Why is this good? well due to my current situation i will need to move it atleast 4 times a week and should be able to take a fair beating. so how is this going to be possible? im going to fabricate another box that is going to be able to move freely inside the main box.
But wont that just fly around a get damaged? No as im going to line the inside of the case with some high density foam much like the stuff used in the peli cases and we know they are high quality.
So how many thousands of pounds are you going to spend on this project? well as little as possible, check the hardware list below for details
Hardware List
- CPU-i3 2100 (3rd lol)
- Motherboard-ASRock H61 ITX
- GPU-Power colour HD7770
- PSU-Corsair CX430
- HDD-250gb HDD
- RAM-Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz HyperX

Case Materials- MOD ammunition case

Now some preliminary Google sketchup drawings
Main box size
And the inner box with some components (Not the actual ones im using just for sizes)
And when the smaller is inside the larger, the space between the two is going to be filled with the foam
Ill update when i get around to taking pictures of the box
This project is only possible due to Shadowhero18! thank you very much!!
