Hello,

I have question: Is it possible to build own case for cheap (about 100€ NOT 1000€)? I have lot of ideas, but what I must take note of that? I think MINI-ITX is good enough for first test.

You could use Legos (it's what google first used to host their servers) or wood if needed.

You know how it is, the cow goes "moo", the dog goes "woof" and the gamer goes "The PvP is unbalanced."

There was a computer on one of the WAN show streams where a guy built one from cardboard. Have you mocked up any designs yet or you just thinking about it?

Plywood is usually really cheap and sturdy, and can be put together with hand tools and doesnt require machining parts.
