by p_o_s_pc (July 22nd - 11:39 AM) - Reply
i don't use it. It was just something to do when i was vary board lol.
I mounted everything with screws like you would a metal case.

Oh and I voted 8 cause I would probably do the same thing with the right amount of cardboard... :P

I voted 1/10 because the case isn't really worth anything. Putting a bunch of parts into a cardboard box isn't amusing, or creative. The fan grill just makes it worse. I know that you did it in 20min. but that's no excuse.

i always wanted to make a card board PC case, however, i was think more in the Trashy look, with duct tape holding everything together

I gave it a two cause honestly any real case would be better, and I just can't see this as practical once you hit the ON switch.

all you did was put some computer parts in a box then cut a hole for the optical drive and psu. Doesn't look like anything is connect, I dont see any hdd, and there isnt even a cut out for the IO panel and pci slots and no power switch.
If that took you 20 mins to throw together you cant expect much.
If you're really serious about this concept take some more time and put some more effort.

Next time put more than 20 min into it :p

the HDD was under the PSU. I cut a place for the IO plate and i didn't connect IDE cables before the pics because of time. I put them on and tested it out. I didn't feel safe with it running so i took it apart. pic of IO took it before i put the board in. I am not using any PCI slots so i didn't cut them

if there is a next time i will put more time into it. there will be a metal or Plexiglases back plate for the board
