My new cardboard case

Hey, I created a full pc case out of cardboard bbox and some duct tape. Note that my motherboard is micro-atx and full atx won't fit in it, and also I have no graphics card. Sorry for picture quality because my nexus 5's rear camera broke.

Thermals are good. Really good. Currently when writing this post having ms edge, aida64, discord, ondrive and radeon settings open I have 32 degrees Celsius, and when gaming it not going higher than ~58

I think the best part is the rough cuts for the fans.  I'm too perfectionist and would measure and razor cut the holes.  Love the custom mod case though.  ;Thumbs Up:

i had a cardboard box case for the original LAN PC for quite a while and it worked pretty well for me

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I have no dedicated gpu, just 95w tdp cpu, 5400 rpm hdd, ssd and 8gb of ram. Don't think this is a problem
