My new MOD, case idea

[c4menace]

ok my mom bought this expensive blowdryer and it came with a steel/plexyglass case that has a lock and handel. and I thought, WOW thats a perfect case for a first mod.

its dimentions are 12x12 and almost 5 inches tall...

(thats a normal sized ipod)


so what do you guys think? Im gunna need some help with what parts to purchase.. my friend said shuttle should work fine

[abnoea]

that would work real nice... newegg is good but, i think you may want to go micro atx... just to be safe on size 'n such and you may need integrated video... other than that it should be just fine

i want to see this if you do mod it =D

hell, if you can get a mountable screen on there, you wouldn't have to open the case at all and just watch it through the plexi. verry nice first mod project.

ah nice case for a mod!! i'd say microATX all the way, but no matter what you choose, i can't wait to see what you come up with for it! :D

This looks like a nice mobo with onboard video(Geforce 6) and has pci-express slots and for a 939 Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64/Athlon X2 processor. The size of it is 9.6" x 9.6".

any ideas on layout? I dont want to cut the plexy glass on the front, however i think the top (by the handel) can be used for cd drive and floppy. I was thinking about putting the fans on the sides and the psu on the bottom.

But im new at this, any ideas?

you could get a slot loading drive so that way you don't have to cut a large hole for a tray.

great idea. and it will work much better in the long run!

I was also thinking of mounting an alarm clock screen on the top so it looks like a suitcase bomb (like a nuke from the movies!)

btw, does anybody know of a smaller sized PSU?
