Due to danthegeek's recent updates in his BF2 LAN case mod, I've decided to ditch SilDawn and postpone Tiberium in favor of a military mod.

And what better to put a military mod in than a ammo can, right? (if you actually have a better answer, I'm all ears)

Anywho, what I need is an ammo can that's tall enough for a full ATX mobo, wide enough for the cards, and deep enough for it to be able to fit a HD rack, PSU, and a slim/lappy optical drive.

So honestly, all I really need is a general idea of the dimensions so I will know if I have to buy one or two ammo cans and rig them together.


Thanks,
Omega

Look for a .50 cal ammo can. It'll be perfect for what you need. I happen to have 2 of them.

I have a case identical to that one, and can probably get more due to friends in the air force :) Let me know.

Sounds good. Nothing like a military mod. Rough, rugged, and ..... uh cool.:D

I did a small google search and found some mods you may be able to get ideas from

I can't seem to find one like that on cheaperthandirt, somebody care to hook me up with one? Rick, perhaps? I've got the funds in my bank account now, so if you want to go ahead and shoot me a PM or talk to me on AIM.

Thanks.
