Budget case scratch build

[Freddich]

This is going to be a project focused on building a (hopefully) good looking case for as little money as possible. I have not set any fixed budget for it but I will try to keep the price down as much as possible. The only rules for my project are:

 

* It has to look good, or at least not bad.

* It has to be able to house the following componentry:

          * An m-ATX motherboard.

          * A Full length graphics card.

          * A standard ATX power supply.

          * A custom water cooling loop which consists of a 360mm radiator, a cpu block and a pump/res combo.

          * Possibly another 240mm radiator if I feel like it.

          * Mounting for a few hard drives.

 

After every update I will post the total cost as well as update the original post with total costs as well!

 

Total cost as of right now: 6,93 US Dollars.

Make it out of cardboard. c: But it sounds interesting so I followed. And welcome to the forums  You may want to follow your own threads.

I have an update right away; I got some metal, not telling you from where, but it cost 6,93 US dollars (converted from SEK)

 

I started by cutting some pieces of the frame and putting in some corner pieces and proceeded by laying out the basic shape on my table.

Thanks, I was thinking something a bit more serious than cardboard
