Test Bench used as main PC Housing.

Go to solution Solved by LawrenceBarnes2013,

check my sig, i use a test bench for like a year and half now, it's totally cool, it provides much better cooling to your hardware with 100% fresh air, and as you said, it looks stunning specially if you gave a sexy Graphics card with a hardcore air cooler cooler

I am was wondering what are some pros and cons of using a test bench as the main housing for my pc. I move around a lot and i think it would just look cool. I want to know if anything bad will come of this and if it's an ok thing to do. Any input would be very appreciated. 

 

 

               Thanks.

Do you have any pictures?

 

How is the dust build-up and noise levels?

that's a prob i'm having since i joined LTT, the Forum doesn't allow me to upload Pics from my PC, i've been trying to reach the moderating team since evr to solve this but no one seem to have a solution to this

-in answer to your question, i don't let dust built up a chance to even get going, i give the bench a hair driyer flush every morning, and noise depends on your hardware, like i have a drak rock 2 CPU cooler and porpeler blade fans on my Crad, and considering that when i game i ramp up all fans to 90~100% it's not that noisy, plus i'm not that much of a silent frek so .

I've always wanted to see what your LAN rig looked like. My life is complete.

 

It's really amazing what you can do with a few spare parts lying around.

Yeah it looks a little different now. The picture is from a month ago when I had the Pentium D on it with a 770 and a stock cooler :P
