So i’ve had a teensy bit more thought put into this project. The space i’ve got for the case measures 18×17.2×10″. Which is the size of a small case on it’s side. Which is a good thing.
I’ve decided to base the design on my old case - it fits nearly perfectly into the enclosure. I think it’d be much safer to rip it apart and slap some wood onto it rather than risk frying all my components by building a completely wooden case from scratch. Obviously as a poor student I have a lack of power tools so destroying a thick steel case won’t be easy. There will also be the problem of cutting holes for air intake. The case only has the one 80mm intake at the front and if I want the PC to be quiet and cool in a wooden enclosure i’ll probably want a pair of 120mm fans.
On another note i’ve got my hands on a Coolermaster Aquagate Viva Duo. It was a gift for christmas, but i’ve not gotten round to installing it. Can anyone attest to the reliability of this water cooling kit? I’d probably use it on the graphics card and northbridge as grafting a graphics card cooler onto my processor is a little beyond me.
Thought of the day - Are PSU’s safe to be used sideways?
