full transparent PC case

[joshuktech]

so ive been messing around with the laser cutter at my college and i was thinking wouldn't it be awesome to build a fully transparent pc case? just most pc cases only have windows but i would probably face some challenges for cable management for athletic but i think i might try it. If you could help me out by saying some features that would need to be implemented that would be awesome and ill see what i can do.

maybe.

It would be cool with a fully transparent case, But i would rather have a semi transparent case.

thanks for the feed back

Logysis had a full transparent case before. It sounds like a good idea, but it looked sorta ugly in retrospect

I don't see it that way. What I see is controlled entropy; the 'ugly' aspects are contained by a shell of absolute order.

Someone I knew made one out of acrylic.

This is about what you have with an oil cooled rig, just minus the oil.

acrylic cases are so 1990's and most have moved on to more functional and

useful chassis. the acrylic scratches too easy, heavy, and not to rigid.

 

really a looks/aesthetics genre.

[joshuktech]

it would have to made of some really rigid acrylic because of heat from the CPU

I agree with a semi transparent case. Keep the motherboard tray opaque as well as the back panel so the cable management isn't visible. Another cool thing to do with this is use a PSU that lights up like the Corsair GS series or other similar PSU's.
