Ghetto case

reno · Nov 17, 2002, 05:25 PM

I'm thinking of just making a whimsical computer case out of cardboard...do you guys think it would be possible to move my Pentium 233MMx that resides in a shelf to a cardboard enclosure, or will it not be strong enough (I would use the harddrive cage, the motherboard backplate, and so forth, but that's pretty much all the metal I would want to use).

Just a passing thought I had.

...since I got some bits but no boxes that'll fit 'em. I think duct-tape might just make up for cardboards inherent lack of support.

YES! That just might work! ...hmm...maybe I'll get to work on this...next weekend looks like a good time for a project.
