heres my new case, i said screw the speakerbox thing, its just too complicated.. so im just going oldschool and throwing it all on a mobo tray, then soldering on clamps for psu, hdds, and cd/floppy. Now all i need is a cd drive, and a cpu lol

Wow, that actually looks very nice Shawn. A helluva lot better than my pc on an end table. I am not even gonna post a pic of mine. Are you going to wire loom the psu and any fans you might use? I would highly recommend using at least one 80mm fans to blow air across the mobo/video card.

yeah its nice but did someone steal your cpu!!!!!!!!LOL

also is it a good idea to put a working pc on a wooden desk without a case is it alright just sitting on the standoffs?

 

[Lando95]

Yeah, it's ok. I have my motherboard sitting on top of an acrylic monitor stand, without risers. Many people use their mobo's cardboard box.

As long as the surface is non-conductive it should be ok. agree?

Yes sir.

Edit: but it is always nice to have an anti-static bag under the mobo.

huh, ive had my components all over the place, onto of my monitor, TV, working comp case, floor, stairs! lmao, i just figured as long as i dont try to play frisbee with any of the items, that they'll be fine... but when i sat my 18gb hdd on a 120w speaker... well i found out you shouldnt do that, now if i try to use that one, it wont even post lol

 

[ShawnMcGrail]

oh yeah, and if you look at the thing, its got the ability to attach cooling to the back of the mobo. I'm also going to rivet on some fan brakets so I've got one on the video, one on the mobo, and a 120mm blowing air at the cpu fan about 3 inches above it

Looks good, shawn. Much cleaner than my "semi-case" setup.

 

[Soulclaimer]

Hey man thats very cool&comlicated-looki'n case just love it!!!

 

[ShawnMcGrail]

thanks NoAffinity, the only reason it looks cleaner is because i dont have the psu or fans in yet, and plus yours is watercooling, with a TEC. So theres no comparison. lol
