Vacuum PC?

[rookiesearcher]

So, I was planning on going with Fractal POP for my case, but I just got the wonderful idea of using a vacuum as a case. I've seen people build pcs in all sorts of crazy things, like microwaves, briefcases, toolboxes, backpacks, and cardboard boxes.  I would probably go with one of the big barrel shaped vacuums, like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-9-Gallons-5-HP-Corded-Wet-Dry-Shop-Vacuum-with-Accessories-Included/1000533395?store_code=2471. If I did do this, how would I get the PC to turn on, use i/o, and supply power?

The easiest way would be to get a cheap case (even an old used one) to use as a parts donor. Then the front I/O, motherboard tray, etc are all pre-made and ready to go. You just have to figure out how to make them fit whatever contraption you want to stuff full of computer parts.

But why? Genuinely why? It'd look horrible, you'd have no air intake, and it would take up way more space than a real case.

Maybe you could even actually turn on the vacuum and have like a super airflow mode, it would be kind of cool, would be protected as well. I would probably have to cut holes into it for cooling.
