Scrapyard Wars Madness

It's hard to describe my creation so I'm just gonna show you guys. I hope after seeing my post-apocalyptic Art project you guys will get inspired. But hey if you're real gamer you know how it is.

Wow ok. I’m guessing that case has no room for a psu or a GPU? 

Buy the cheapest case on amazon and pop it all in there, it’ll cost you like $20 dude.

I know, but the motherboard is proprietary for Dell and the back plate for the processor cooling is mounted to the PC case itself. I can just  DIY something myself but for now I'm gonna run it that way.

That;s an accident waiting to happen.

 

I guess it's cool for your PC to look like crap and be a foot spasm away from being destroyed.

is that under your desk? if so be carefull with your toes around those GPU fans! 

mad build though, props

If it works, why not?

 

+1 on the watch your toes.

For all of you who are concerned about safety issues let me tell you I'm from Bulgaria, but currently living in  United Kingdom, so long story short people like me don't care about safety that much  Nothing can stop me from gaming

It has room for a low-profile GPU but airflow would be semi-awful since it's one of the SFF ones, and PSU upgrades are pretty much pointless since they're TFX and most of the aftermarket PSUs are worse than the stock units in them anyways. Putting a board from one of those into another case is also semi-retarded due to the front panel headers/USB 2.0 being a downright idiotic proprietary connector.

As someone who has run PCs on cardboard boxes for months at a time, it's pretty damn unlikely it'll catch on fire from a graphics card, especially one with a backplate.

it's right next to the PSU. and it's exposed to heat all the time so very likely dried out. if that PSU dies and sparks the OP is pretty much done for.

Who are you? My landlord? I know mate I  will  do so soon, don't worry

The chance of that PSU dying in a way strong enough to send a spark large enough to catch a piece of cardboard on fire at that distance is extremely slim. OP would probably have a better chance of winning the lotto.

Not caring about your safety at all, I doubt it will burn your place down.  Tho you being a badass from Bulgaria...  that's an interesting self-promotion.

 

I'm more of the school of thought that a little time and energy (which it looks like you did to jury rig that thing already) could be used to make it look 100% better.  It's one thing to be all innovative and don't let something like being poor or having a shitty prebuilt stop you from gaming, that I can admire.

 

It's that there really isn't any excuse for not doing it in a way that it accomplishes your goal and isn't a mess.

 

You made an ugly mess and want some sort of street cred for it.  And you got it it looks like.  Boggles my mind.

 

Like I said, I admire that you did it, but ya half-assed it.
