breifcase rig

:banana:the vision :banana:

should have enough room

well i started cutting holes today using the bonnet of my HQ statesman as my workbench (with carpet padding)

scored the m\b frame from one of my old rigs...it pays to hoard!!
just had to 'tweak' it a bit with the 40 oz ball pein hammer

some holes for the psu and some hacked out power supply plugs and a good zap later

power and hdd led's were off another project

more psu cooling mmmmmm 120mm

is niice

couldn't resist a bit of biohazard

looks good4 now i have a feeling that they both are going to need better brackets or screws

i borrowed some 40mm fans from the missus laptop cooler 'hehe'

mmmmmmmmmm HD audio front panel goodness

LG DVD multi drive fits like a charm *the ORIGINAL plan was to use up some old crap *

more pics ..n maby some words a bit later

I wish you luck, the idea is pretty good.

The first pick literally made me lol, it was kinda funny.

+rep for making me laugh, and not many things make me laugh.

haha yeah i cracked up from the first pic 2! "the vision" lol.. have a +rep for that!

:up::up:

aaaahh i found some time to post some more goodies

extra cooling as this is going to be the top of the case

hhhhmmmmmm whats that for??... the trusty 'ol' 17 lcd of course

i had to remove the hdd @ the top of pic as it hit the zalman cpu cooler which i modified ,the 3mm blue led's were de-solderd and replaced with ones that change color from red to green to blue and then all the inbetweens.

my mobo shat its self about 2 weeks before the build ...i gave it a go to no avail and thought it might be the psu .....so basicly @ the moment i have a smaller psu(modified)and a cheap board to handle the amd athlon 5600 and the kingston hyper-x i already have . so i got an asus m2n68-am which is proving to be awsome value for money @ $68 (umart) its piss poor i know but it does what i need til i save some more coin
...lights on...

:banana:yay its all up n running im writing this on it now :banana:
final pics soon

I Dub Thee The Lanman 5600

/\ deal.. lol

looks wicked!

Is that really a Snap-on case, or did you just put Snap-on stickers on it?

nah only stickers ....dont know if i would of attacked it if it was snap-on..
gunna try and mount a 19 or maby a 20 inch my 22 overhangs by about 35mm plans to upgrade everything(m/b, ram, cpu) unsure as to what yet ...
cheers for the support!

Awesome.. puts my briefcase to shame since its the exact same briefcase. Losing will to do it now lol.

Awesome mod, and yeah the 1st pic made me lol too +rep :).

Bloody good, mate. Came out cleaner than I thought it would, and everything fits well. +rep for that, and for temporarily repurposing your Statesman's bonnet - what year is it, and which engine does it have, by the way? (Don't mean to turn this into Car Talk, but I'm an American a bit jealous of some of your old - and current - Holdens.)

cheers mate ...she's a 72 HQ deville with a factory fitted 350 chev ,iv had her for about 8 years now

she dosnt look this good anymore (no licence=no drive=little attention)

nice car mate

cheers mate ,she's been my workbench 4 a while now ,i guess i should inject some money into it soon

wooo i found a e-sata male to female cable ,and thinkin of installing my zalman multi fan controller ,so iv got a digital readout of temps and power consumption.
