Case Creation - for Scrapyard build

[BOT Edward]

Hi All,

 

I'm looking to tear down an old gigabyte case I got with my mobo for my scrapyard build (that has been left un-used due to wanting to get a new case).

 

I came across the idea of creating a case using the sheet metal on the old case, (I also have some spare 3mm aluminium sheet lying around).

 

See https://www.tinkercad.com/things/6jtIYwlHibo-deedwardo-case-mod for a really basic 3d Render of it, the HDD's will be able to be mounted in the left hand side under the PSU.

 

Any thoughts around it?

Not too bad. Get a sheet of polycarbonate (Lexan) to close it off and still have a window. Even some acrylic will do but it won't be nearly as strong.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that, maybe even have a small bit of the right hand side covered at the front also just to chuck a couple 120mm fans there
