Five hours = Project Ca$hBox

[TheGreatSatan]

I had 5 hours of nothing to do tonight, so I started and completed mod #29.

I've been meaning to do a Mini-ITX Mod for a while now and chose a cash box as my case.

The Cash Box was $20 at Office Depot

I put the Mini ITX and PSU in to get an idea of how it'll fit

Then drew out the I/O plate outline

Then the PSU outline

It seems thick at first

But as you can see, it's one thin layer of aluminum and then an insulation layer followed by another thin layer of aluminum

So that was fun

Then I added a power button

And took a hole saw to it

Where I added an intake fan and a cool fan guard

I added a single screw

To attach the hard drive to the lid

There you go, it closes just fine

And it's Done

BIOS work

All I have to do is load XP

Thanks for looking.

Thats one secure looking computer! Looks like it would make for a good lanparty box or something of that nature. Nobody is getting into that bad boy! ...unless they know how to pick a lock anyways. lol

Just some constructive criticism though. You should think about either grinding those edges smooth or get some of that computer window trim/molding to give it a more professional finish.

Now that it's done, it's garbage

Now that it's done, it's garbage

the chase is better than the catch;P good work though. a black colour would have made it better looking IMO.
