Best looking PC in a box challenge

t77snapshot · Feb 17, 2010

I am temped to make another one just for kicks.

Radical_Edward · Feb 17, 2010

If you have the parts, go for it.

Could always make it another cruncher!

p_o_s_pc · Feb 17, 2010

I am thinking about making another box but this time in 1 box and make everything hidden

Yeah I have the parts.

I thought about crunching it, but I don't feel comfortable exposing cardboard to heat for a long period of time. Even thought I know this hardware doesn't get really hot, I would never risk it.

I understand that 100% thats why i didn't keep my cruncher in my box BUT i was also running a overclocked dual core and a Nforce 4 chipset (those are some hot little fuckers)

Holy crap dude! :eek:

That is seriously epic, I'm submitting this to other websites. This deserves to be all over the webz :toast:

MKmods · Feb 17, 2010

I spent hundreds on alum the last few mos... Crap...I have tons of cardboard stacked up to recycle..

Cool thread..

t77snapshot gets the Grand prize so far for the most bad ass use of cardboard... :rockout:

Radical_Edward · Feb 17, 2010

Well, here's my build in a box. It's not that nice looking, but it does work. Still installing XP at the moment...

(Forgive the bad photos, the lighting is poor and I'm too lazy to mess with my camera.)

More photos upon request.

Specs
Intel 2.0 ghz
20 GB HDD
165W ASUS PSU
Junker ASUS ITX motherboard

i haven't been able to oc anything more than my netbook for 6 months gimmee a break lol

Soylent Joe · Feb 18, 2010

Not yet a PC in a box, but an Ultra Kaze in a box, which is gotta be worth something

I could probably fit a mini-itx board, a 2.5" HDD, and a slimline disc drive in there. Too bad I have none of those things :/ Something like this, but with the disc drive either above everything (horizontally mounted) or to the left of the fan (vertically mounted).

I like cardboard as a computer case material. It's light, biodegradable, highly modifiable and as long as you don't get it wet or put anything extremely hot on it it's great.

Israar · Feb 18, 2010

I like all of these they're pretty damn cool hehe, but out of all of them I'd say my favourite is Sniperbob's, that's one cool, neat and lovely little box =)

lol? sounds like youre in need

there is no break... in war, you also cant decide, its time for a break now

why do you still post your old achievements,when everyone knows about them

?

i also would recommend you, to not use dice to impress us, your air cooling achievements were far better than you dice stuff.

get you overkill water cooling, a nice proc, and start to fight :laugh:

Do it. I'm loving these awesome cardboard PCs.

I might this weekend, but it would require dissassembling my main gaming/school/WCG rig, which I'm not enthusiastic about doing. I don't have the funds to replace parts and I don't want to be without a computer for 2 weeks if I had to RMA
