Scratch case build, the Poorair C3000

RobTapps

Well this is too nice to just throw out... So I decided I'm going to make a case! Now I don't have any money left in this month's budget for basically anything.. So it will be made with stuff I find laying around... I'm doing this because NCIX sold out of the NZXT s340 in every color except blue/black.. And I have a red build... Now that being said the custom corsair logo will be painted black ;)

Oh and the photo is gonna be huge.. Just a heads up..

Well its been a long day, but here's where it sits for the night. The board is only temp mounted (I know its crooked), I've gotta gonon a hunt through the garage for some long screws as there is going to be a thin false back on it and screws going all the way through to large washers or something to brace the board a bit more..

I see you went with AM3+

A bold choice on this forum.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

I see someone's ignorance..

It's astounding.

Yea I went AMD big whoop wanna fight about it?

This thread isn't about what cpu/socket I'm gonna be using.. It's about the case, if you wanna bitch about me using AMD like half if the forum has already then go to my build thread and bitch about it. I would really appreciate if people kept there fucking opinions to them selves regarding MY choice in MY computers components.. Do you have to use them? NO so stfu about it and focus on the damn topic at hand.

Not at all. I like AMD. Just most people here don't unfortunately.

I'm just tired of hearing.. "Oh you went with am3+... AMD sucks.." Yet NO one will back up why AMD sucks.. They just say should went Intel... Why? So I can spend 8x more to play gta V at 1080p..

As someone running an FX-6100, it bothers me that games play worse on my desktop than my laptop, which sports an i7 4710MQ.

 

FX processors are poorly optimised, and are generally weaker core for core than Intel's offerings.

 

But hey, if you're not bothered about that, then fair's fair. Though personally, I would have gone with an APU if I were doing AMD again.

It will be used more for heavy browsing and music production more than gaming every one here just measures things in gaming performance on the forums [emoji14]

Fair enough.

I use a computer largely for games - both the playing and production of them.

I just want something that capable of handling large projects in ableton live, I have like 500$ in midi controllers and another 300 in sound packs that I can't use on my laptop.. Not enough horse power :(

Late start today lol was up until 4am, but the good news is I have most of the case cut out, the rear panel is going on last and is not cut out yet but I haven't even thought about that yet.

My main concern is board support, I want to make this out of 3 components.. Cardboard, tape and hot glue (excluding a window, and a couple screws as pannel holders), now I have some thick ridged cardboard I can cut and use in strips to support the motherboard. I think that's the route I'm going to go.

Well they do perform better at single threaded stuff which for many workloads is still the most important. I don't really care though. Most of the stuff that takes a long time is fairly decently multithreaded.

Brotip: don't use hot glue to secure things that are likely to hot.

How will you be handling cable management and routing?

I know that haha there will be long screws going through many layers to support the board, and a removable pannel for the PSU, the board it self will be sitting on cardboard coated in silicone and there will be ample cooling in the case to keep any glue cool
