    Right, here's the scenario: On my network there is a baseline of 5 iPad's, 4 iPhone's, an Apple TV , 1 All-in-one PC, 2 Laptops , and a network printer all connected to one AP at any point-in-time assuming we're all home. At least two devices at any one time will be downloading media content such as TV shows (My internet bandwidth is around 30 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up, which can deal with the download) The problem arises however during the evening's when the downloaded media is air-played to the Apple TV over the network, the AP cannot handle the load and the connection to the apple TV is often dropped, being incredibly frustrating. When guests or friends are over the whole wireless network grounds to a halt due to sheer number of connected devices. So I am in the market to purchase a dedicated Wireless AP from a UK Retailer within a budget of around £80. I have looked at: http://goo.gl/VeBzOn I have heard good things about this AP but also some bad. I have also looked into getting my hands on some second-hand / barely used business equipment such as the Linksys LAPAC1750-UK Any suggestions on AP's within my budget would be greatly appreciated.

    Title really says it all here, Was wondering would it be worth me buying a dedicated NIC for my pc and if so what benefits could it bring? Thanks Ben PS: Not interested in 10 gigabit Ethernet atm, too poor.

    The designs are in the first stages and I wanted to get a basic version made so i can measure things up better and figure what I can do with it, I've been quoted £115 for the thing to be prototyped which is a little more that I was expecting, So i need to shop around a bit. If you have a 3d printer and your want to help I could really need you.

    Yeah good idea, I was think of using foam/ rubber pads to provide enough friction to hold the fan in the shroud. First I need to get a prototype made to experiment with mounting options, I want to avoid using and permanent or visible option.
  5. InsaneJihad
    Yeah I think plastic is more appealing as it's much easier and cheaper to produce different colours, so far the plane is to to encase the top, bottom, sides, and front with the shroud leaving a clear and open cut out to allow air to pass through as it would with out a shroud the back side would be completely open and the shroud will be flush with the fan to avoid any issues mounting, I need to research fan filters better as I wouldn't want the shroud to be unnecessary bulky (as it stands the fan adds 6mm to each side 5mm of material with a 1mm gap), perhaps place some neodymium magnets in the corners for a magnetic filter to be used, or something that can be clipped onto the front. I'm not sure how the shroud should be mounted to the fan itself yet, friction may be an option. any ideas?

    I'm currently in the process of designing a new product for all the people who are performance yet presentationally conscious. The main thing that puts me off buying noctua or similar fans is the pure ugliness of the pale browns and I'm sure allot of people will agree with me. So I've made the first draft of a shroud to encase the fan but not restrict airflow, I'm currently getting quotes to get this prototyped. So far I am split between Three materials; Steel sheet metal, Aluminium sheet metal, and ABS plastic (3D printed) Either option I go for the plans for the 3D printer I will keep updated and release them for free on this forum alone. The reason I am making this post is that i have not seen a product that achieves this goal before and would like to give it a try however I'm not the most experienced designer and would love the help of the community, What features would you want on a fan shroud or even one at all? Such as a slot to slide in a fan filter, or bespoke logos and text stamps.

    Design update: I took some advice, and have decided to add 7 more 120mm fan mounting spots some of which i plan just to use as a passive vent.

    IcedEskimo, You are very correct. There are many ghetto wood cases, However once this case is finished there shouldn't be any exposed wood. The case will be coated in a acrylic matte paint.

    You are correct, however this is not a intended mounting point for a radiator, that will have 3 intake fans directed air to the psu, HDD's, SDD's. The radiator will be Push/ Pulling as an exhaust out of the case and hopefully pulling air over the motherboard from a top mounted vent on the top of the system chamber. Right, Well this is a dual chamber design, i must add these are only the first copies of the design i have created so changes will be made and i appreciate all input! There is only going to be one 360mm radiator in the front as shown, this is only due to the lack of funds i have to build this system. However i will make another mounting point for when funds are available in the top of the psu chamber. As the System Chamber top will be as regular removed as the side panel, referring to my past post. I am updating the designs currently.

    On the open side pannel, I hope to get a sheet of glass that will slide in from the top, this maybe awkward as you would need to take the top off to get to the insides but it will give a clean and quite strong case. As a fall back though, if this case is unsuccessful will probably purchase a corsair Air 540.

    Ahh forgot, As storage using a 1TB HDD, forgot make and model. And for a boot drive a samsung 840 evo SSD I As im visiting the UK for three weeks from Monday, ill be purchasing the rad grills. and hope to get assembling the case from early July. As Promised, the Auto Cad Files!: http://www.mediafire.com/download/okq9gmxttqeyazd/PC_Case_design_no_side_window..dwg

    Oh Btw, looking good man. especially if you paint it!

    Cheers for the info guys, Wow such fast responses damn i love this community. Well use wood i believe will still be the best option, and i will take the advice and use a motherboard tray from mountain mods, or lian li. I have begun a build log and would much appreciate help along the way, more information about the build can be found there also with some mock ups of the designs. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/164947-wooden-pc-case-design-and-build-log-project-get-wood/

    Hello Forum! I have begun to plan my build with some Google sketch-up's to scale, These designs will be public for anyone to use! after all free internet right!? I will be moving my current system into the new wooden case once finished, and will be installing a custom water cooling system. Currently the rough (Don't expect all of the info yet, not even got the side panel off ) system specs are: Motherboard: Sabertooth z77 CPU: Intel i5 3570k @ 4.0ghz GPU: Powercolor (Yeah i know) HD7970 Radeon. (This is a discontinued card, and not for any good reasons I bet.) RAM: 8GB of Kingstone HyperX PSU: Corsair HX750 Case: Corsair 200R (Main reason for moving to new case) CPU Cooler : Corsair H60 (It was free can you blame me?) I am hoping to be able to increase the over clock on the CPU and add a backplate and water cooling block to the GPU as the car is warping under the weight of the cooler! This build will be done on a low budget and I'm trying to prove that you do not need to spend hundreds of £ or $ (Depending on you location ) to have a modded/custom system that starts the conversation with your mates. I am 16 years old and living in the TRNC, A non-recognised country in the Mediterranean We cannot receive deliveries here so parts ect will have to transported from the united kingdom to here on commercial flights. Wish me luck, as im going to need it! Ben.

    Just got some new tools for my workshop, this includes a band-saw and a new chop saw. So to break the new tools into action I have decided to start a new project and build a wooden pc case, with a custom water cooling on a fairly small budget, if anyone has designs existing, or advice please contribute!
