| 636404 | 2008-02-02 01:24:00 | build a pc or just the case? if its just the case then its generally cheaper just to mod an existing one . however if your doing an odd design then you don't need specs of cases, simply build a case around the parts of the pc . |

| 636406 | 2008-02-02 04:41:00 | If you are planning to build them commercially you might need details, but if it is just one for yourself and a one off you can build it how you like. I saw one built years ago at Ultra Computers workshop and it consisted of a wooden board. The motherboard had a couple of screws through to the board and everything else plugged into the board. PSU just had a strap over it holding it to the board. It sure amused me at the time. It was just a desk test computer but it worked fine. |

| 636409 | 2008-02-02 16:38:00 | Yep well decide on what material you'd want to use. A clear acrylic perspex/plexiglass case would be a good start since you can get the materials from Bunnings or Mitre 10 and they're quite cheap too. There's a pretty good 34 page guide here. www.water-cooling.com |

Paint in a high-tech shade, add a lot of LEDs, stick the bits inside and you have a fine impressively large PC with good cooling and an iced drink compartment too. For dimensions, get the biggest fridge you can fit into the room and it will impress the spectators just fine. ;) Or, since you will have a fair collection of fans whirring away, make an inflatable case with adjustable dimensions. |
