Building a aluminum briefcase pc.. UPDATE 2

<< < (2/3) > >>

My friend built his desktop into a 50 caliber ammo can. It was an awesome project and I helped him along the way with the wiring and stuff.

However, it constantly crashed because of overheating and shorting. Be forewarned, you should NOT skimp on ventilation at all. In fact, your first consideration should be ventilation (even extra vent holes with sliding covers)

Will keep that first on my shitlist. Thank you.

Maxaxle:
Make sure that you have some secret USB and keyboard/mouse ports; mice are hard to use when cramped in a briefcase.

Rodney 1.666:
Also keep in mind that controlled air flow is better ventilation than just having holes everywhere.

Kratos:
Thank you for the advices guys.

I changed my position last time, and once I cut out the hole for the I/O panel, i will post pictures.

The previous pictures that were here a minute ago, the layout of the parts was not right. The motherboard was position facing down, when you stood the case up.

I will post pics later today...
